Chapter 58 – Day 7 – The Social Party’s End
“What is the number of injured or dead nobles?”
“Five of the nobles who participated in the hunt died and one was seriously injured. Princess.”
“Except for me, Princess Hailey, Duke Diana, and Marquis Jesse, all the nobles are injured or dead.”
The princess’ expression was dark.
“Yes, Princess. Also, the nobles who were watching the game were attacked by pagans. No one died here, but…”
“Are there quite a few people injured by nobles sitting stupidly and asking to be killed?”
“There are a few seriously injured people. Other than that, it’s enough to go back to the manor and get treatment…”
Minerva, who used to hold her hands and shake them when she had a chance, is serious now.
He wasn’t flattering and praising the princess, but he was leading the fully armed knights and sorting out the situation.
“What about Marquis Jesse and Princess Hailey?”
“Thanks to the princess, we were able to come safely. Marquis Jesse’s wounds were healed by Venus?”
Minerva says with a smile, but Venus doesn’t show off as usual.
While treating Marquis Jessie’s wounds, I was fooling around, but…
“Yes, I cured it. Can’t you just let your arm rot away?”
“Good job. Ho ho.”
“Hmph, cultists… I didn’t like the way they were so good at setting up things that couldn’t be called weapons.”
The princess, who spoke her words while clicking her tongue, stopped her feet.
If it had been according to the original schedule, as soon as the hunt was over, they would have dinner and have dinner.
However, since pagans and demons appeared and attacked, the atmosphere was too subtle to hold a dinner.
In the end, though, she’ll have to make a declaration that she’ll make dinner…
“The atmosphere is still bad.”
The princess returned to the stage made for watching the hunting game.
Her sigh comes out of the scene in front of her eyes.
More than half of the tables, nicely decorated with pure white cloth, were overturned.
Did she use it as a strategy to fight the cultists approaching them?
The princess couldn’t brighten her face when she saw her tables stuck on the ground or being cut in two by her ax or sword.
“Princess, are you here?”
It was the voice of Gregorio’s queen.
As soon as she saw Venus appear, she grabbed the skirt of her own dress and hurried away at her trot.
She had a face that seemed to have a lot to say, and her cheeks were flushed, but her body was unscathed.
‘It looks like the male aristocrats… Took out her sword to protect her queen and had a fight.’
It was a million bucks.
In the eyes of the princess, there were many female aristocrats, and although she mainly interacted with them, there were actually slightly more male aristocrats.
Looking around, I see female aristocrats arranging their messy hair, but no men.
It was clear that she was being treated by the attendants or going to the guest room in the imperial palace to rest.
“I am too late. Gregorian Queen. This…”
“No. We were attacked by pagans, but I heard that the princess was attacked by demons.”
“It’s nothing, so don’t worry.”
It’s not even bluffing.
He was not a real demon, a proper warrior, or a wizard, so Venus only spoke with honest feelings.
However, from the point of view of the queen, who is an ordinary human being, she smiles bitterly, as if her words were so great.
“I’m glad you said that. We were able to find out what happened thanks to Countess Aris’s familiar.”
“At first, some nobles thought it was a surprise event prepared by the princess…”
Minerva’s voice mixed with sighs.
Even without seeing the situation with my own eyes, I could imagine what might have happened.
“There must have been a whistle and a frenzy, but who first noticed the raid here?”
“Hohoho, it’s me. Princess. Are you going to praise me?”
Minerva takes her hands up and shakes them slightly.
“Did you and the commanders you brought work for you?”
Looking around, I see people wearing clothes that are similar to Minerva’s, and can go into battle at any time without any problems.
From the famous knight leader to the person who leads the knights whose name even the princess does not know…
“Of course. Princess. Our knights move to protect the people of the empire under any circumstances.”
“Sometimes, you have the feeling that you move for your own greed… Let’s just say it’s different today.”
“Ah, ho ho ho in front of the queen.”
Minerva chuckles and laughs, but her expression her is smiling.
There was nothing wrong with the situation in which the princess was clearly imprinted on her eyes.
Did Minerva actually fight? Her body is as good as she wants it to be.
“Princess, the situation today is-“
“I’ll be sure to do some research and find out which crazy guy did this.”
After interrupting the queen, Venus spat.
The Gregorian Queen nodded her head with her wry smile as if she really wanted to hear that.
“I, too, will speak about what happened today at the next imperial council. Other nobles should also know.”
“Keuk… I feel like I’ve dirty Obama’s face… But I can’t help it.”
“That’s right. It’s not that the princess made a mistake… It’s because a noble who was plotting an evil thing did this.”
At Minerva’s words her, both the princess and the queen silently nodded to her.
“That’s right. All of those who participated in the hunt today had seats in the council.”
“Who else but the nobles will benefit from the death of a noble?”
“To think that there is a noble who is thinking of damaging the honor of the princess… This is a serious matter, apart from the old and new nobles.”
The Queen and Minerva take turns talking.
Hearing that, in this case, it feels like the person who seduced the pagans and demons into attacking the social party was a nobleman.
‘That’s not wrong…’
If you think about it calmly, there is no one other than nobles who can do such a thing.
‘Hasn’t there been a rumor since a long time ago that there is an aristocrat colluding with the remnants of the demons? It’s a possible story…’
It’s especially convincing when I think of the demons who told various facts to provoke themselves.
Although the pagans and demons attacked at the same time, there was no need for the nobles to subdue the pagans.
It would be easy to use the power of the demons to incite the heretics if you definitely attracted the demons to your side and instigated them to cause this incident.
‘I can’t say they’re stupid, but…’
The princess sighed.
The more I organized my thoughts, the more it seemed that the aristocrat had done something.
“Today… What is the ratio of old nobles and new nobles killed or injured in hunting or raiding?”
The queen’s expression hardened slightly at the princess’s words.
“Princess, by any chance, the incident that happened today is our…”
“I’m asking because it might be. Please don’t take it seriously, my queen.”
“Hmm… I understand Venus’s intentions to her. Unfortunately, it’s meaningless to think about the ratio between the old nobles and the new nobles…”
“He died indiscriminately, and he was injured.”
If more old nobles died or new nobles were injured more, they could be suspicious.
However, the reaction of the Queen and Minerva is cold enough to feel that these doubts and thoughts are meaningless.
“What are you talking about?”
“Of course, it’s clear that the old nobles did this dirty thing.”
Just as she was about to ponder a little more, her voice came to her ears.
The nobles who had been listening to the conversation between the princess, the queen, and Minerva from afar rose with their heavy buttocks.
They looked quite angry, and some of them had bloodstains on their cheeks and shoulders.
“I’m in front of the princess. Please refrain from talking.”
“Hey, there is no one who doesn’t know that the dirty old nobles are eroding the empire in collusion with the remnants of the demons! Princess.”
“You make fun of your filthy tongue… He said that His Majesty the Emperor gave you a title, so how dare you guys do that!”
“The Queen is saying that she even had an affair with the demons!”
The old nobles shout at the new nobleman’s provocation.
‘Shit…’
“Princess! The new nobles here are the ones who ran away first when the old nobles pulled out their swords!”
“Sounds not even funny!!! We use guns to kill cultists-“
“Shut up!! Princess! Think of the number of new nobles. Even if the number of injured and dead is the same…”
The new nobleman and the old nobleman point their fingers at each other and approach the princess.
Somehow, it was a face that wanted to put a wedge in that what happened today must have been caused by the other person.
‘You’re out of your mind. These…’
Anger boils over, but it’s not that I don’t understand.
Politics is like this.
In fact, it may not matter who, really, initiated these events and plotted evil today.
For the new nobles, it is a good situation to drive out the old nobles who occupy the territory that is no different from the yolk.
There is no way that the old nobility will miss the opportunity to politically put an end to the new nobility that has risen rapidly by paying money to buy titles and sharing their old estates.
‘Ha…’
The princess sighed and raised her hand at the political battle that made her head hurt as seen only at the Imperial Parliament.
“Princess! The Queen of Gregorio didn’t even draw her sword in the raid today!”
“You idiot! How can a queen fight with a sword! Don’t talk nonsense! You bastards! How many heathens have been killed with your boastful guns-“
“Everyone be quiet!”
When the princess shouted at her, she finally shut her mouth.
“You are like crows flocking to the smell of rotating corpses.”
“…”
“Wow, princess…”
Blushing And Yelling At Her
The aristocrats who were talking while splashing her spittle awkwardly shut up.
“Careful, have you forgotten what’s important right now? Demons appeared at the imperial palace and attacked the nobles.”
“So, so… The old nobles who colluded with that demon…”
“Uh huh, are you still saying that? Do you have any proof?”
The gaze of Venus kept the new nobleman silent.
“Of course there won’t be. Princess. All of the new nobles here-“
“You didn’t fight first, and you hid behind the back, so you conspired with the demons? You didn’t get a drop of blood on your clothes for saying such a thing.”
“…”
At the words of the princess, the nobles did not open their mouths any more.
Big! I clear my throat and glance at the other person for no reason, but I dare not open my mouth in front of Venus.
“You keep telling stories without evidence, nothing helpful. Minerva.”
“Yes, Princess.”
With twinkling eyes, the knight commander hurriedly knelt on the ground.
“You should thoroughly investigate the incident that happened today to reveal the truth.”
Minerva lowered her head quietly, and the princess drew the sword from her waist and lifted it, pressing lightly on her shoulder and head once.
“Keugh…”
Minerva, who can be said to be neither a new noble nor an old noble, investigates the case today.
No matter where you look, it seems that there is no element that can be used politically right away.
“Let’s talk about today’s incident at the next imperial council.”
At the words of the princess, the queen nodded her head and looked at the nobles around her.
They are greedy
He even sweated, shouted, and fought with the heretics.
“Princess, how about digesting the schedule as it is?”
The whispering queen.
The princess pondered for a moment, but there was nothing better than dinner to soothe the nobles who sighed with her weary expression her.
“There are injured and dead people, but shouldn’t those who live have to live again?”
As Venus speaks while moving his feet, the eyes of the nobles gather in one place.
They expect
Like human beings who fought political battles when the same noble died and was injured, they look at the princess with eyes steeped in her desire her.
“Let’s go back to the imperial palace and enjoy dinner! After the meal, go back to your respective estates or rest comfortably in the guest room prepared for today!”
The princess laughed as she spoke and turned her body as she heard the nobles clapping their hands.
After that, she squeezed her own belly with both her hands and let out a sigh.
Even under these circumstances, she is disgusted by the aristocrats who begin to chat in anticipation of dinner, laughing.
I was angry at myself for asking me to have dinner so naturally, so casually.
But I’m hungry.
He also looks forward to dinner.
“Princess. Your complexion doesn’t look good.”
In front of her princess, in her self-loathing her, Minerva appears and smiles at her.
“Oh, don’t worry…It’s no big deal.”
“It’s not a big deal. Princess, your face is so pale…”
Minerva speaks in a worried voice and stretches out her hand.
Everywhere you look, it’s clear that she’s clinging to try to score a little more on her, but…
Bring her hand her up to her own forehead her to check her temperature her, or, Princess? She does, and her friendly asking and rubbing behavior on her shoulder her does n’t go away.
“Keuheum, you really do touch the princess’s body as if it were your own her.”
“Ho, ho ho ho…”
Shocked, Minerva fell from her body, but the princess was not angry.
Rather, she opens her mouth to ask, thinking about the situation after dinner.
“Minerva, are you staying overnight at the imperial palace tonight? Shouldn’t she have a special guest room for you?”
