Chapter 72 – 08. Peace?
* * *
The war that had lasted for three years had virtually come to an end and all the princesses and princes were recalled.
Most of the soldiers also rushed to return to their home countries.
“…….”
The nobles didn’t even make a sound while moving.
It was because the woman she served was not in a good mood.
At least, those who had a common heart could guess each other’s intentions with their eyes.
‘As expected, he’s in a very bad mood.’
‘Because His Highness His Aran performed at his best His.’
‘Wouldn’t it be sad if I touched you now?’
‘Arthur. If you don’t want to die…’
Aran captured the king.
In addition, according to rumors, he even has a royal seal.
In other words, right now, all of Throdia is in Aran’s hands.
For Juana, it would be crazy and jumpy.
‘If this continues, the people will chant His Imperial Highness His…’
‘Ah… Just thinking about it is terrifying.’
It’s Juana who is usually sharp, but in the current situation, if even one case is caught, it will be the end.
‘Aren’t you still trying to figure out something?’
‘Did we do something wrong?’
‘A lot… From that person’s point of view…’
‘…’
The nobles tremble with anxiety as they look back on their past actions.
However, Juana had other thoughts.
‘If the king was captured, the crown princess would have been captured too. Wouldn’t the writing I wrote go over by chance?’
There is something to worry about.
That’s huge too.
In order to deal with Aran, she delivered his every move to Ekaterina, which included important military secrets.
For example, it was something like a supply route connecting the main camp and the Aran army.
Naturally, revealing this to the enemy was a mortal sin. No matter how much her status as the princess is, if this becomes known, she will suffer a serious blow.
Especially if the target is Aran.
‘I hate to admit it, but with this, the war hero became that man. It should never be revealed.’
It is designed to be burned as soon as it is read, so there will be no proof. But isn’t there a ‘just in case’?
‘I have to get rid of it somehow.’
There are many ways. She should be called the Crown Princess, but after all, she is the princess of a ruined country. It’s not difficult if you want to do it.
“I… Your Highness.”
“…What is it?”
When a nobleman spoke to her, she reacted with disapproval.
“Soon it will be noon.”
I was told that I had to eat.
Juana felt hungry herself and nodded her head.
“Okay. Let’s rest here for now.”
* * *
“I’m really happy.”
He made an expression like a teacher who witnessed Cheongchuleoram (靑出於藍).
“Really, when I first met Your Highness, I was so innocent and frustrated.
“You’re right.”
“Now you know how to eat a woman! I’m thrilled!”
She clenched her fists as if fighting.
I felt a strong spirit.
“Now that Your Highness has become a war hero, Paradise will open when you return to your home country.”
“What Paradise?”
“Numerous nobles and young ladies with rosy expressions…!”
“It’s not like that.”
“Oh, how can you be so sure?”
“Someone says we only ended one war.”
“Oh my gosh.”
She put on a look that said she was stunned.
Then she immediately lowered her head as if she had died.
“I thought you’d grown up a bit, but you’re still stuffy!”
“…”
She seemed to have some kind of determination.
No matter what happens, this is the kind of thing that needs to be done…
“Wait. I’ll be sure to correct that fierce spirit someday!”
“What’s so blind! It’s common sense?!”
“Whoop whoop.”
She suddenly laughed.
“I know. Your Highness raped three royal mothers and daughters with a happy expression!”
“…It’s almost as if we were together in the first place.”
“Anyway! That’s the real face of Your Highness. So you should be erupting normally. A brute is your true identity!”
As if evangelizing, she preached with a divine expression.
Of course, her seeds were not eaten either.
“Stop it. I say it a lot, but the count shouldn’t use such words too much. It’s not dignified.”
“I don’t want to hear from Your Demonic Highness.”
“I beg your pardon?”
“No, Your Highness.”
Once she did her polite expression, she backed off.
She was truly an unknown woman.
“By the way, Your Highness.”
After a while, she came forward again.
“Yes.”
“Why is this woman following you?!”
The person she pointed to was Ramias.
“I have a decent name called Mayu Ramias. Jeha Gong.”
“Do you want to die? She said she don’t call me by that nickname!”
“If you treat me right, I’ll think about it.”
She smiled and replied.
The two always fought as if they were enemies, but Hancock was the only one who got more wrinkles.
“Benefit! Your Highness! Please shut up this woman! A mere merchant is mocking a nobleman!”
“Oolong.” You’re an empty person. Please don’t let the final honor be in vain.”
“Look at this, Your Highness!”
Hancock clung to him crying.
“Hey heck. I’m trying to climb up on the count for the baron I bought with money Oh! Punish me!”
“That’s why I’ve been telling you to keep up your body. It’s self-inflicted.”
“After?”
The expression she lost her world became.
“I-I can’t believe it… I thought of myself as a family father and tried to serve him faithfully… But in the end, Your Highness’s oath that night was a lie… Yes, I just ate and threw it away like any other woman. It’s stupid. It’s a sea cucumber anemone.”
The person himself looks serious, but Aran smiled.
“Why, why are you laughing! I’m serious!”
Aran thought she was cute.
Unknowingly, I stroked her hair.
“Ewk?”
“Hancock. You can be called a true noble only when you take good care of your subordinates. Forgive me generously.”
“Wh-what are you talking about! This cow made fun of me!”
She ran all over her room.
It’s the same Hancock as always, but somehow it looked cute today.
“A decent person should be able to have him too. At least that’s how I was taught.”
“Ugh…”
She twisted her face strangely and she glanced back at Ramias.
Lamias was smiling brightly.
“Wow! Look at that! You’re making fun of me!”
“So behave yourself with dignity.”
“Suddenly… As expected, my husband was on someone else’s side.”
“…I don’t remember becoming a husband.”
“Ueeng!!”
She cried as if she was sad.
.

.
When evening came, she set up camp in a suitable spot.
“Oh my! Now you’re trying to eat soft princesses!”
Before he knew it, Hancock had fully recovered and urged him to humiliate the prisoners.
“No.”
“Ah~ Even if you say that, I don’t think it’s a foot. You’re going to the place where the prisoners are.”
“I just have something to say.”
Hehe. Physically? I understand everything, so you can be honest with me.”
She put on a weird expression like a mother who witnessed her son masturbate.
“Well, because it’s not…”
Aran shook her head from side to side.
Hancock always seemed to have his head full of thoughts.
“Eight! I know all about Your Highness!”
“You have no idea.”
Aran just wants to end things with Ekaterina.
She made her deal by getting her materials her to stamp Juana and making her her king her.
Hancock stayed next to him and continued to babble.
As a very talkative woman, she was speechless.
“Hancock. What I’m talking about here is a top secret. I thought the Count was mine too, so I just brought him along. Okay?”
“…Hmm. I don’t know what it is, but I understand it. Your Highness. Even so, my mouth is heavy.”
“Believe.”
“And the chest is heavy.”
“Okay, let’s go.”
“It’s true! That chest is heavy! It’s quite heavy! And the ass…”
“Okay, let’s go.”
Aran immediately headed to where the king and princesses were.
She was in a prison converted into a wagon.
“Are you here, Your Highness?”
“Could you move away for a moment?”
“Yes!”
The guarding soldiers moved away, and only the three royals remained.
Yerina glanced at Aran and gave her strangely queer eyes, and Florina trembled in horror at her.
“…What’s going on? Did you miss our bodies?”
At least Ekaterina was showing a normal(?) Reaction.
“Other than that, you know what I said before.”
She found out right away.
“Ah, the letter from Princess Juana.”
“Okay.”
“Eh?”
Hancock from the side was surprised.
“Whoops. But is the person next to me okay to listen? It’s difficult if he does it’s a spy.”
“No need to worry about that.”
“No way. If you’re wrong, my future will be ruined. She’ll try to kill me somehow.”
“Well, it’s not like that.”
“Now, wait a minute!”
Hancock intervened between them.
“A letter from Her Majesty Juana? What do you mean by that?”
“It’s literally. Sister Juana told me everything about the route I was going, the size of the army, and so on.”
“Hee!”
She screamed at her dizzying situation.
It’s nothing else in the world, and it’s like leaking the prince’s information. Besides, she has an undeniable track record of driving her Aran to her extremities.
If you get along with it…
“You’re thinking of making a deal.”
“Yes. Let’s be clear. If you become the king anyway, wouldn’t I, the owner, benefit?”
“Huh…Yeah. I’ll faithfully serve as a loyal dog, so only give it to the king. I’ll give you the original copy after I become king.”
“I guess.”
“… Your Highness, looking at the circumstances, it seems that this woman has something unreasonable as evidence… It’s dangerous. She could be lying.”
“I don’t think it’s safe to say.”
“Still… If what this woman claims is false, she may be poisoned by Your Highness.”
She had a lot of worries.
At that, Aran lightly stroked Terina’s cheek.
“She does n’t have the guts to do that. Don’t worry.”
“…”
Terrina bit her lip softly.
