Chapter 229 – Day 34 – Stop the Marquis Jesse (Evil)
“Today’s stew is really delicious, isn’t it~ Lucia?”
Grace, wearing a white apron, was busy cooking.
As her high priest, she didn’t have to prepare meals at the headquarters of the Saint Church, but this was her hobby her.
For her who loves helping others and making her smile bright like the sun, preparing meals for her Order of Saints her felt like a sacred duty bestowed on her by her God her.
“Haa… A demon disguised as a Countess appeared in the Duchy of Kealga, but does the High Priestess Grace just want something like stew?”
“Of course. Eat well, get plenty of rest, and pray hard. Lucia can judge her demons too, right?”
“Don’t talk nonsense. Demons… Just have a blessed sword and you can kill anyone.”
Lucia, despite her grunts her, unexpectedly handed the small barrels in front of her whenever Grace reached her hand her.
There was a nice scattering of spices that tickled her nose, and after Grace took a few more bites, she lifted the huge pot with both hands and set it on the wooden table.
“You were able to prepare dinner sooner than expected. Lucia. Go to the basement and ask High Priestess Styx to have a meal together after a long time.”
“Do you think she’ll dine with us? I’m glad she doesn’t get eaten.”
Lucia sighed, took off her apron contrary to her words, wiped her hands dry, and turned her body around.
She hates acting as Grace asked, but the Church of Saints is originally a place where three high priests are together.
The thought of talking to Styx, who had n’t seen her face in a long time, made Lucia a little nervous.
“High Priest..! High Priest Grace..!”
As I was about to leave the kitchen, a girl in a black nun’s uniform hurriedly opened the door and entered.
She was dripping with sweat from her forehead, and holding her knees with her hands, she exhaled heavily.
“What’s going on. High Priestess Grace is preparing dinner now.”
“Ah! Lu, High Priestess Lucia was there too! I’m really against it. It’s a big deal! A guest from the imperial palace has arrived!”
“At the imperial palace…? What’s that strange? It takes at least half a day to get here from the imperial palace. Today is the day the imperial parliament is held at the Capitol, so the princess can come…”
As she was talking, Lucia saw the woman appearing behind the gasping nun and shut her mouth.
She is a familiar woman with long straight black hair and wearing a pure white Katyusha. She was Ceres, who had a status similar to his own hers.
“I’m sorry to see you in such a hurry without contacting you.”
Behind her stood a sorceress of the imperial palace, dressed in a dress that exposed quite a bit of her flesh, and a long cloak draped over her shoulders.
“You came with teleportation magic, what is it?”
Lucia, realizing that it was not time to prepare dinner, rubbed the palm of her hand on her waist to wipe off any remaining water.
“…Lucia-sama.”
Close enough to whisper into her Lucia’s ear her, Ceres opened her mouth, covering her mouth her with her hand.
“…It seems that demons disguised as nobles have appeared in the Capitol. High Priestess Lucia’s power is essential to the princess.”
“……Grace, we’ll have to push the meal with High Priestess Styx to a later date.”
Lucia, who spoke her words in her nervous voice her, tossed her purple hair to the side of her her once, and she grinned.
“Finally, I can get blood on my armor.”
* * * * * *
“Ceres has attached the mage of the imperial palace, so he should come soon. But…”
“The point is that time passes differently in the Capitol and outside, and in the worst case, Mr. Ceres may come after half a day passes from our point of view.”
“…It will be a long war.”
Hedone, Ceres, and Princess Venus were sitting in the same seat.
Arisa kept her own seat when she talked about her first matter her, but who could say what if her princess called her and sat next to her.
Arisa sat in front of over a thousand nobles and whispered to the princess.
Fortunately, the princess called for Arisa a year ago, two years ago, and three years ago.
It’s not like she’s your best friend for nothing. Of the more than a thousand nobles, Arisa was truly the last person she could feel close to.
“In Gregorio Kingdom, I sincerely apologize for the damage suffered by numerous nobles. My younger brother, Zinaida Gregorio, is being punished in the Imperial Palace’s Clock Tower for committing an irreversible crime. Our kingdom must also be punished. That’s why-“
Standing right in front of the chairman’s seat was Hestia, who was well dressed.
As Gregorian’s queen, she admitted her brother’s fault her and apologized for not being able to properly fend off her disparate race.
“It seems that everyone is not interested in the different races. Princess Heocheop.”
“Can you do that, huh…”
The princess snorted at her and crossed her legs. She must have heard that if Ceres was there, she could see her underwear and bare legs in her.
“Is there anyone who can win by going to war with the Gregorian Kingdom?”
“…I don’t think there’s anything outside of the Kingdom of Galagon.”
“That’s right, no matter how wrong the kingdom of Gregorio did, what could the counts and dukes sitting here do?
“Still, everyone will want to say something. Look at Diana’s expression her sitting there. She’s very angry because she lost her player her. But Hestia-sama also used her brain her.”
As Arisa said, Gregorio’s queen, Hestia, wore her hair as much as possible.
“We, Gregorio, will start with the Duchy of Colonia, which is closest to us, and will provide great help to other counties and duchies. We, Gregorio, have stopped the different races and are in good health. We will share our strength with you. Therefore, first of all-“
“From Diana’s point of view, you’re making an offer you can’t refuse.”
“Isn’t it? From the point of view of the new nobles, it’s a huge benefit if they can bring in raw materials cheaply. In addition, Hestia-sama promises to make the paved roads and tunnels that Diana sang like that. That’s what I mean.”
There was a huge mountain on the way from Colonia to Gregorio.
It was where Grace almost lost her life, and there had been quite a bit of trouble there for a long time.
But what if you build a huge tunnel in the mountain? The construction will take quite a long time and cost a lot, but it is a different story to have a well-trimmed road that leads directly to the Gregorian ‘Kingdom’.
“Maybe we can solve the problems of the Duchy of Colonia at once.”
“Even from Gregorio’s point of view, it’s not a business that loses money… Well, there’s the problem of protecting the tunnels and well-trimmed roads from the hands of different races 365 days a year…”
As her princess was lost in her thoughts of her, Diana then climbed into her chair.
“…Thank you, Queen of Gregorio. As the owner of the Duchy of Colonia and the leader of the new nobles, I would like to say in advance that I greatly welcome your proposal.”
Diana greeted her with a slight smile and gracefully grabbing her dress. She glanced at the paper she had brought, and she started talking.
It felt like retelling a story Hestia once told, but her conclusion her was different.
The story flowed with the tone that the numerous territories of the empire should be developed more, and unlike the sullen old nobles, the new nobles clapped their hands and cheered.
“Well, it seems like this will naturally decide to issue an edict…”
“It’s a big deal. If the new nobles win, Venus will have to issue another edict in her name her? Are you ready?”
“Of course I prepared… Ha, Ceres! My room… Ah, no.”
The princess let out a sigh and looked behind her, then naturally met Hedone’s eyes her.
“Her fiancée says she’s bitter when it’s like this. Come back-“
The moment Hedone got up, Arisa and the princess naturally took her hand her and sat her down again.
“…I’ll.”
“If you don’t know how to use even rune magic like Ceres, the flow of time will be distorted, so it’s meaningless.”
“That’s right, I’d rather go, because today is a day overflowing with magic power.”
“It’s already ovulation-“
Before the princess could speak, Arisa grabbed her nose and twisted it, and the princess briefly covered her face with her hands as she let out a scream inside her throat.
“Ugh… Everyone is touching the princess’s face! What kind of clay is that!”
“Venus is bad~”
“Just now, the former princess was bad. She’s like a pervert.”
The princess slightly cried, but the two women did not help this time. That’s how Arisa vacated her seat her, and Hedone and the princess were able to attach themselves.
“Hedone has nothing to enjoy, so it’s a big deal.”
“No. The Empress’s job isn’t all about having fun. Especially, I’m enjoying this council as well. Princess Heocheop.”
“Hmm, is there a reason? Ever since I was young, I’ve seen nobles… Shout passionately like Diana standing over there, and I’ve seen flattery like that old grandpa before, but in the end, none of them were fun.”
“Well…”
Since the princess’ words weren’t particularly wrong, Hedone nodded her head once.
“I think so too. However, seeing the nobles who are making noise in front of their eyes and trying to realize their dreams and desires in any way possible, I can say that it is lively… “
“Is it good to know the feeling of living hard?”
“Yes, because there was nothing like this in Hollympia.”
Hedone looked at the nobles with a strange expression. Venus quietly held her hand her and patted the back of her hand her calmly.
Diana’s words were getting quite long, but the stories that came out of her mouth were what the new nobles had longed for.
‘Hmm… Diana, I’m not saying to recklessly take the land of the old nobles, you’re throwing rice cakes to strictly limit the movement of serfs…’
Serfs are, of course, belonging to the nobles.
Without them, there is no one to cultivate huge fields or raise and feed livestock.
But they are people.
They miss the sweetness of freedom and want the warmth of freshly baked bread.
No matter how thorough the crackdown was and the use of private soldiers to scare the serfs, there were often cases in which they fled at night and crossed over to the land of the new nobles.
“…By the way, isn’t it bad for the new nobles if Duchess Diana makes a promise like that?”
“Isn’t there a way to make laws but not to keep them?”
“Oh my god…But that’s…”
“Laws take quite a while to be enforced after they are made, and on the contrary, think of what Diana said, if the roads are greatly polished and paved, and bridges and tunnels are built, the new nobles will immediately benefit, right? “
“…Maybe there’s even a case of escaping to Colonia along that well-made road?”
“Of course, whether the Duchy of Colonia can afford it is a separate issue…”
Shouldn’t existing houses be built three times as high? The princess was worried about that, but she, as the princess herself, did not have to stop the plans of the new nobles.
Even if the new nobles go crazy trying to do something and destroy themselves, even if the old nobles miss the time and disappear without being able to stop the new nobles who have become stronger…
From the imperial family’s point of view, it didn’t matter as long as they didn’t do something that would destroy the empire itself.
“Thank you for your hard work. Duchess Diana Red Blood, then I wonder if the princess can issue an edict regarding what she said…”
“…It’s not something that Obama would specifically reject. If all the people of the empire are prosperous and the roads are well-maintained, wouldn’t it be easier to send an army even when demons appear?”
When the princess, sitting with her legs crossed, said that, the new nobles smiled.
“What…”
Princess Hailey also had a confused expression, but in fact, it was a benefit to the Galagon Kingdom.
‘Princess Hailey would not be able to object, according to Diana, the road to the Galagon Kingdom and Gregorio Kingdom is the first to be smoothed out… From the standpoint of Galagon, who is fighting a lonely battle, it will feel like sweet rain.”
Beside the princess who was thinking, Arisa appeared with her edict.
“Whoa, isn’t it too late?”
“Haa… Looks like it’s going to be passed.”
The princess sighed and touched the red jewel in front of her eyes. Arisa giggled when she saw that, then petted the blue one.
“…Arisa…”
“You know that our Paijah county is at the foot of the mountain, just like the Kearga duchy.”
“Haaa…”
The princess was eventually put in a position to issue her edict in front of countless nobles, and the chairwoman, Princess Hailey, also saw that the votes displayed on the huge mirror installed in the center of the Capitol had surpassed her majority long before her tongue her. Kicked
“Yes, then let’s understand that the princess is issuing an edict on behalf of Her Majesty the Emperor regarding this matter. Next, the Marquis Jesse of Mediolanum has brought an interesting matter. Then…”
Princess Hailey smiled and looked at where Marquis Jesse would be sitting, but no one was there.
“…Arisa, it looks like you gave me an upset stomach as I asked earlier.Haha! Well done! It’s a pity that I didn’t see you standing in the chairman’s seat and talking about going to the bathroom..! “
“Even if the timing is a bit off, did it work out in the end? It was important to set the time back anyway. It’s a pity that I couldn’t make it look like I was going to the chair and running away to go to the bathroom.”
Arisa pretended to wiggle her finger her as if playing a joke on her.
“Did you make me sick to my stomach?”
“Yeah, that’s right, Hedone, it made me sick to my stomach. It’s thanks to Ceres-san’s medicine in the tea earlier, though I did use one more magic.”
Hedone was listening intently to Arisa’s story her.
“I have to stand for an hour to talk in the chairperson’s seat, but I can never speak if my stomach is rumbling. Didn’t Venus ever almost die from holding her pee?”
“Boo, it’s embarrassing, so don’t talk about that time! Anyway… Missing your turn doesn’t mean you’ll miss the opportunity to talk about the agenda, but the opportunity will return after everyone here has spoken.”
After wiping her forehead once, the princess slapped Arisa’s back her once, and Hedone brushed away her voluptuous breasts her, thinking that it was fortunate that she didn’t fight her.
“But… Not twice.”
“Yes, if you are a demon, you will easily know that you have been subjected to magic. It is very obvious and it is magic.”
“Yeah… Now we only have half a day left.”
For Ceres to come quickly, the princess prayed sincerely while stroking Hedone’s buttocks.
