Chapter 497 – Day 66 – Wine Soaking in Bottomless Oak Barrels
The disturbance of the demons in the pantheon was quickly resolved with Diana’s blood magic in her.
Naturally, the princess had no reason to stay long before the Mansin, and she had to solve Diana’s problems her, so she naturally returned to her mansion her where Hedone was waiting for her.
“Diana!!! You! Be honest. How long have you been reading that magic book? It’s not just blood magic that transforms her body her!”
“I, I… I want to help Venus…”
“Isn’t it a matter of being helpful?! Your mind could be possessed by the magician and your body might be taken away! You say you love Venus! What’s the point if you’re not you anymore!!!”
As soon as she returned to her mansion, Arisa started to get angry with a fever to the point that veins were protruding from her neck.
“Ah, Arisa… Calm down a bit…”
“Cleaning up and what! It’s already too late at the latest! This is what it means. If an ordinary wizard did this, even if he immediately summoned the Knights and took them away, it would be a terrible crime!”
Arisa, who grinned and got angry, grabbed the cold drink Ceres handed her with her hand and began to drink it with a clunk.
“Oh my… Was it that dangerous? The Duchess read it often, so I thought it wasn’t that kind of thing.”
Lena Blue Moon tried to joke around to lighten her mood her, but she had no choice.
Arisa was making such a painful expression that the veins on her forehead protruded from her. The fortunate thing was that Diana obediently put out the magic book as soon as she got angry.
“The demons… What happened?”
“That, uhm… Arisa doesn’t have to worry.”
“Why is there no need to worry! You ate it!
Arisa was never angry for nothing. Defeating the demons in one fell swoop was, in a sense, commendable, but catching and devouring them was another story.
“Ah, come to think of it, the Duchess hasn’t eaten at all lately. Does eating demons fill your stomach by any chance?”
“What… If you use blood magic somehow…”
“Wow, that’s going! Seriously… How many times have you read it? Did you really read it until you lost your mind? You know that?”
Arisa snapped her fingers enough to make a paching paching paching sound. There was a circlet on her head that emitted pure white light, and she held her magic book with both hands as it was.
“This magic book. It was created by a blood mage who was sealed a long time ago. The maidens of a certain kingdom… That’s why…”
Arisa, who was trying to explain in a cool way, hesitated for a moment before she let out a breath.
“It’s a book made by tearing the skin of the chest closest to the heart. The cover is not human skin, but everything inside is human skin. Do you know it ends there?”
Arisa, who poked her magic book with her finger her, glared at Diana.
“This magic book contains magic that can eventually bring the old gods down. Of course, whether or not that is really possible, and whether or not the necessary magic power can be met are different stories, but do you know how dangerous this knowledge is?”
Diana very slowly shook her head from side to side. As for her magic her, she was virtually ignorant, so she had no way of knowing.
“Yes~ Yes! If you knew, you wouldn’t have read this! The old gods are a staple menu that demons love very very very very very much? How great a commotion is going on to invoke the old gods! They’re going to be really desperate to take people and brainwash them!”
“Ha, but because I have tongue and blood magic. I can protect Venus, and of course I can protect my body her.”
“Don’t be ridiculous. The demons we dealt with today… I can’t say for sure because you ate them up, but they were pathetic. Can you say that even if you’re surrounded by the proper demons Venus fought ?”
Diana nodded her head, thinking she could, but Arisa only grimaced at her.
“This, first of all… I know the story that the magic book is dangerous… But is Diana in a very serious condition?”
“If you read it one more time here, I might have to kill you. I will never tolerate being a puppet of an old god. Do you want to see so many people in Colonia die by drowning in a sea of blood created by Diana? Not me.”
“I won’t read from now on…”
Diana’s face was not bright as she lowered her head. So the princess carefully patted her shoulder her with her hand her.
“Isn’t it something you did with bad intentions? Arisa. Is there really no way?”
“There is none. Put her hand on Diana’s head her…”
“No! It’s the power that I’ve worked hard to obtain! I did what the sorceress whispered, but how hard it was to get this power! Forget this? No! I’m not a kid, Arisa!”
Diana yelled again to her hysterics of her.
“If you don’t read the magic books anymore, there’s no problem!”
“That’s not right! Do you know how stupid the people who said that were to get their hands on the magic book again?! There were idiots who broke into the Mage Tower!”
“I’m different! Because I love Venus! I only have this power for Venus! I protected Venus today! I killed a demon! If it had been as usual, I would have trembled and begged Venus to save me, but today I …”
-Pair!
Arisa couldn’t stand it and eventually slapped Diana on the cheek.
“So… You’re saying that one day… You’re going to choke Venus… Will you stop seeing Venus kill you?”
Diana glared at Arisa for a while, covering her hot cheek with one hand.
Then, without saying a word, she went up to her room without her taking her books.
“I’m sorry…Venus, I don’t want to be such an annoying woman…”
Arisa let out a long breath and covered her face her with her hands.
“The sorcerer’s whispers are deadly if you don’t use magic to protect your mind. I… Like Mana… You… You’re someone else…”
“Don’t worry about how you feel or what thoughts you had when you told Diana what she said. Can you seal this magical book here?”
“This… It’s too dangerous, so don’t mess with it. It’s better to enter the Magic Tower and hand it over to the Forbidden Book Management Committee. Before that, it’s all about setting up a temporary barrier.”
At Arisa’s words her, the princess nodded her head to mean that she would do it at least for now.
“I want some Diana…”
“Oh my, Princess… The Duchess must be very emotional right now, so wouldn’t it be a bad idea to meet her now?”
The princess was a little shaken at Lena Blue Moon’s words, who suddenly put her face in her face her, but she was n’t talking nonsense at all.
“Well, it’s not wrong. Duchess Diana must be very confused right now. She’s not going to make her feel better just because the stupid princess goes and kisses or talks about sex.”
When Hedone said this, the princess looked at the stairs Diana climbed for a moment and then nodded her head.
‘Well, isn’t there a word called ‘scratch from scratching’?
Diana needs time.
She thought it would be helpful to the princess, and the power she cultivated turned into a dangerous bomb.
If the princess herself goes and tells her that it’s okay, will she find peace in her heart her?
“I think it would be good for the princess to appease her duchess… Why don’t you prepare a gift for her? Rather than just talking, showing something material would be a great help. “
“I think carrying a bouquet of flowers would be helpful.”
“Ah, that’s right. It will take time to seal the book of magic anyway, and Diana will need time to organize her mind her… Um, so go shopping and come Venus.”
After Arisa said that, she let out a long breath as if she was sorry for slapping Diana on the cheek, and immediately stretched out her palm her to her magic book her.
“Well, since everyone says that, I guess I should prepare a present for Diana.”
* * *
“To be able to go on a date with the princess alone like this~ Glory is finally coming to the Blue Moon family~”
“Isn’t it inevitable that Hedone and Ceres have to help Arisa? Besides, you’ve known Diana for a longer time than I have, haven’t you?”
In order to buy Diana a gift that would soothe her even for a moment, the princess was walking along the busy streets of Colonia with Lena Blue Moon.
“Ah~ But it’s worse than the princess who loves each other.”
Lena laughed and said her words of her, but to be honest, she did n’t know much about Diana.
I heard about unfortunate family affairs and various unconventional old stories in the talk after sex, but I didn’t know the obvious things.
‘I… Yup, I don’t even know Diana’s birthday her. She does n’t even know what her hobbies are or what she likes.
In an instant, she was a princess who felt very sorry for herself.
“Yeah, hmm. It’s big… But I’ve never talked about Diana and her hobbies.”
“Ah ~ Actually, the Duchess’ hobbies are a bit eccentric. I can clearly see why she didn’t.”
Lena, who smiled her eyes, began guiding her princess skillfully as Colonia was her hometown her.
“So what is Diana’s hobby? She doesn’t seem to have the quiet hobbies of reading or cross-stitching normally?”
“The Duchess’ hobbies… Ah, well done. I think you can pick a present here. Princess.”
Lena, who suddenly smiled brightly, took her princess’s hand her and stumbled into a slightly dark alleyway.
“It’s a place you can’t find in Colonia, but the Mantheism is still running a slave market like this.”
“A slave…? A slave all of a sudden…”
“But the duke liked her princess before she met her~”
Lena’s words of her were not nonsense.
‘Certainly… Diana told me quite a bit about it the other day, but she’s she’s a slave…’
Slavery was not forbidden in the Empire. It wasn’t even something that could be made into a ban.
“But I heard that these days people don’t care if it’s not the old nobles, but Diana’s hobby is buying slaves, isn’t it?”
“Because people who work in factories are cheaper than slaves. You don’t have to spend a lot of money at once, you don’t have to provide food, clothing, and shelter, and for meals, black tea and beer with plenty of sugar are enough… All you have to do is pay, right?”
“Hmm, on the other hand, a slave needs a place to sleep, needs clothes to wear, and needs something to feed. What does that mean?”
It wasn’t that the new nobles didn’t use slaves because they were fools. The princess nodded and looked around her.
The traders in the slave market were dressed in rather bizarre clothes to match the word ‘mantheistic religion’.
“It’s run by the Mansin Church, but look at it. There are quite a few women from various territories, right? Um, if the princess likes men, unfortunately today isn’t the day to sell male slaves.”
“I’m not interested in men, so don’t say that. Anyway…”
The princess, who made her X her with her hands, moved her eyes calmly.
‘Looking at Lucia, she’s going to faint with foam at her mouth. From her necklaces to rings and earrings … There are so many different patterns. By the way, Lena… Strangely, you speak as if you know very well about the Mantheism.’
Even at a glance, the princess, who could tell that the accessories they were wearing were in the form of the gods they enshrined, nodded her head and looked around her.
It was a slave market seen in Mediolanum, but this place was a little more explicit. As Lena said, women from ‘various territories’ were standing here naked, but it was very strange.
I don’t know if it’s Southerners whose skin color itself is completely different. How did he find out by looking at the naked women’s faces and breasts?
“Anyway, why did you tell me to pick up Diana’s gifts at a slave market like this? Aren’t there enough ladies-in-waiting at Diana’s mansion?”
“Oh, the princess, I deliberately tried to hear it through my own mouth… Oh, or did you not notice at all?”
Lena gave her a strange eye smile and pointed her finger around her.
“Most of the slaves here are specialized in the night shift. Our Lady did not allow her to climb onto the bed, but she relieved her stress with whips and punishments.”
“That story… I certainly remember hearing about it…”
“So, if you like relieving stress the old-fashioned way, how about buying a pretty slave here and giving it to the Duchess as a gift?”
At Lena’s suggestion her, the princess looked around for a moment, wondering if she would buy her a slave if Diana really wanted her of her.
‘Ugh… All of them are poor quality slaves. Well, looking at a slave and asking if it’s good quality is a really ridiculous idea…”
The slaves that caught the princess’ eyes were all unattractive. Small breasts, bad style in the first place, or short stature…
Diana may not have the same taste as her own, but she does n’t have a single girl she really likes.
In the end, the princess stiffened and turned her body around, thinking that she had chosen a really stupid gift in the first place.
“There is no noble in the world who gives slaves as gifts. In the first place, Diana said that after meeting me, she would never touch a slave.
“Ichaam… Our Duchess used to really enjoy playing as slaves…”
“Stop talking nonsense. Let’s just take this necklace for now.”
Lena made a very sad expression and twitched the corners of her mouth.
“Sometimes, there are times when I want to go back to those old days.”
