Chapter 627 – A. A ? ─ Ceres Cannot Trust the Princess.
“You didn’t tell me because you thought there was a chance I would believe it?”
“I was simply telling you my truth!”
“The truth… Ha…”
The princess told everything she could.
She told me all that she was here for a reason and that she was a time traveler.
‘I heard from Ceres that no matter how strange things you do, the past won’t change… But it’s a pity that I can’t tell you all about things like how Ceres was my maid back then…’
It was difficult for even the world’s Venus Holympia to tell Ceres, who seemed strangely immature, that you would become my maid in the future and that you almost died trying to save me after many complex events.
In fact, other stories than this were close to the nonsense of a madman, so the princess carefully selected and told only stories that Ceres in front of her could understand and accept as much as possible.
‘You can’t ask what the secret is from the first meeting…’
No matter how urgent the task was, the opponent was not a device that pulled out an item every time a button was pressed.
“You are from the future, you are a person from the earth, and you are a member of the royal family who has the obligation to kill us, but you understand the situation of our demons and have the intention of becoming friendly with them… Well, that is…”
Ceres was truly dumbfounded, but clenched his fists.
“Such… Stupid…”
The emotions coming out of her throat were not something the princess could understand.
“Are you telling me to believe a dream-like story? I’d rather believe what you said from the Old World Exploration Club… That your Type A just to make fun of me.”
Ceres, who spoke with difficulty, lowered her head.
The neatly organized house was in disarray as the princess ran away, wielding a sickle.
‘Ceres… Was there something going on that I couldn’t figure out…’
The princess sighs, presses her left hand to her temple, and carefully opens her mouth.
“Ceres, you—”
“Vergilia. Don’t call me that because it makes me feel bad.”
The princess flinched. To her, Ceres is Ceres, but when she tried to call her demon’s name, the inside of her throat felt uncomfortable.
“Well… Virgilia? I don’t know what happened to you or what you experienced… But as I said before, I need your knowledge and experience.”
To add to her words, Ceres also needed the secret she was hiding, but she couldn’t tell him to reveal it in front of her.
“That’s right… In the end, you just had some business for me and the power I needed. That’s right…”
Ceres, with a vain expression bordering on disappointment, presses the back of his hand to erase the tears forming at the corners of his eyes.
She lets out a long breath, looking at the smashed table, needing to gather her emotions before speaking.
“What kind of knowledge do you want… If it’s the knowledge the Old World Exploration Society wants, it’s obvious… Do you need a map? Even if you tell me nonsense about scanning my brain…”
“What do you mean by a map?! Do I, a member of the royal family, need a map?! Since I was young, I have memorized not only Holympia but also Magicka and Gregorio’s terrain to the point where thorns stand on my tongue?!”
“Hawk, Magicka…? Gregory…?”
Ceres’ eyes widen again.
“Wait… You… Really…”
Ceres, whose eyes were greatly shaken, looked back at her as she held her hand, and then looked openly at the princess’s crotch.
Of course, the princess’s erection loosened. However, the imposing appearance of the object inevitably created an outline that made it look blatant.
“No way… The real royal family… Time travel… Of course, it’s possible in theory…”
“Well, how about sharing Gregory’s story with me?”
“If you’re thinking of fooling me after reading a report or two from the scouting team, you’d better stop, Venus.”
Ceres spoke harshly and glanced at the princess.
“Isn’t there that in Gregorio? Isn’t there a hometown crowded with elves? There was also a huge world tree, which was withered when I saw it. The queen’s name was definitely Shadid, right?”
The princess speaks while smiling brightly. On the contrary, Ceres was astonished.
“Hmm… I don’t know if it’s the same here, but the elves were divided into four tribes. They were tribes called Chamber, Nursery, Parlor, and Ladies. They say that the elves of the Nasari clan take care of raising babies. ?”
“Uh… Hmm, there is an old god they serve. Isn’t he a pretty kind god?”
Ceres said with a strange expression.
“God…? Well, the elves I saw didn’t really worship any gods. Surely, there was a guy called a god in the land where other races lived. But… He was a very vicious and bad guy? The best. Until we receive the male and female as sacrifices—”
“What are you?! If you’re making fun of people, do it in moderation!”
Ceres was startled and stood up.
“Why, why are you doing that?! Did I say something wrong?”
“Huh… How do you know all that? What on earth are you?! Have you studied so far to deceive me? Huh? I won’t get angry, so just tell me the truth! Your mother sent you, right?! It’s like a learning device. You learned knowledge by using it, right?”
“So! Didn’t I tell you from the beginning? Ceres! I am a royal family from the future! I am Venus Holympia!”
At the princess’s cry, Ceres trembled and sat down on her sofa, holding his face with both hands.
“Are you really… From the future? Not some type A pretending to be a member of the royal family?”
“That’s right. Just believe it now.”〈”… Why do you call me Ceres?”
The princess felt her throat burn for a moment.
But she didn’t want to lie to the person she loved.
“Ceres… Is the name of the man you told me.”
Ceres shakes her shoulder, sniffs his nose, and stands up.
“Ke, Ceres! Where are you going?”
“Toilet. Wait.”
She spoke briefly, and then she actually went into the bathroom, not outside the house.
“Ugh… It’s not easy.”
The princess, who had never had trouble making friends before, sat down on her sofa, scratching the back of her head.
─Kwadangtang
“Ugh… Ugh…!”
The sofa was smashed to pieces, leaving the princess lying on the ground with a helpless expression on her face.
In the end, with no place for her to sit, the princess had no choice but to stand up and look around.
‘Is this place…’
The princess sees an open door somewhere near the kitchen and glances at the bathroom.
Since she heard the sound of water gushing out, the princess assumed she was washing her face and slowly pushed her head into the open door.
“Hoo… Isn’t this… A map…”
The room was larger than expected, but at the same time it seemed quite narrow.
There were bookshelves densely packed on the walls, except where there were doors. It wasn’t even just a bookshelf, it was a double bookshelf.
“Isn’t this… A script from a fairly old opera? It must be quite old, but it’s in good clean form.”
With admiration, the princess examines every corner of her room.
From the princess’s point of view, the books on the bookshelf, including the huge map hanging on the wall, were really worn-out things, but in fact, they were so well-preserved that they smelled like new books, not like dust.
“Oh… Isn’t this… A novel whose back pages have been lost even in the library…”
The princess takes whatever items she can get her hands on and checks them carefully.
Since she could see antiques among antiques, the princess honestly felt like she was taking a history class.
“This is… Hmm… Hmm…?”
The princess touches her chin after looking at the picture spread out on the huge desk.
There was a map there.
“Hmm… There’s a bit of a problem…”
“You, you…! Why did you come here on your own?”
Ceres, who came out of the bathroom, was naturally looking for the missing princess.
But then I saw the princess looking around her own rather precious room as if it were natural.
Her eyes became fierce, and she walked over to her and tried to grab her princess’s shoulder.
“Ceres! Isn’t this map wrong? Look. Galagon’s capital is not here, but a little further up from here. A huge barrier is visible?”
“What…?”
Ceres shakes her finger and looks at the princess’s finger.
“Hmm… Anyway, isn’t it a surprisingly well-scaled map? The terrain itself is surprisingly accurate…”
“Of course… It’s a photo using a satellite…”
“Satellite…? That’s a strange magical name. Anyway, Galagon’s capital is here… Yes, the Duchy of Romanova is around here.”
Calmly, the princess colored in her photo with the pen she held in her hand.
“Do you… Know what the items here are?”
“Isn’t it obvious? Isn’t the book on the shelf over there written by a famous writer from the Arnold family? In addition, there are several operas written by the writers of Blue Moon and Jamstone.”
The princess put her hand on her waist and lightly snorted.
“Didn’t I say with my own mouth that she was the princess of the empire? Of course, she was well-educated enough to not be embarrassed at a social party?”
“Now… It might be harder to believe… That you’re not from Earth, I understand, Venus.”
Ceres made a strange expression and touched his cheek before placing his hand on the map.
“Huh?!”
With just a few movements of her hand, the huge map disappeared in an instant.
“W-Isn’t the map gone?!”
“Why… Ah, well… There’s no such thing as a liquid crystal tablet on earth… So don’t be surprised. It’s some kind of magic.”
Ceres hesitated a little, but looked at the princess while smoothing her hair.
“Opera and all, it seems like you surprisingly enjoyed cultural activities quite a bit, my princess.”
Although she seemed a bit sarcastic, the princess nodded her head calmly.
“I have nowhere to go anyway, right? I traveled through time from the ground to here… And destroyed my warehouse.”
“W-was it your warehouse?!”
“I’m the only idiot in Pandemonium who likes flowers. Most people think Gaia will take care of raising them.”
Ceres calmly flipped his hair to the side and held out his hand.
“Then, let’s sleep at my house today. There are a lot of rooms anyway, and I don’t want you, a person on earth, to get involved in an accident by meeting another Type A person while sleeping in the street.”
“Thank you, Ceres… I will be indebted to you a little.”
“And that dress… It’s true that it’s pretty, but even the kids in the theater club don’t wear it like that outside of Niflheim. I’ll get the uniform somehow, so I’m thinking about taking it off tomorrow.”
Ceres, speaking calmly, very carefully extended her hand to the princess.
Those pure white hands were shaking strangely.
“If it’s okay with you… I’ll teach you a new cultural experience.”
“Huh…? That’s new? Even though I’m from the earth, I’m still a princess? I’ve enjoyed most of the cultural life that exists on this earth?”
Ceres laughed innocently. From that smile, you could almost feel that she thought the princess was a little cute.
“From now on, I will enjoy the cultural experience called ‘movies’ with you. It’s good to look forward to it. You will experience pleasures that you have never enjoyed with your ears or seen with your own eyes.”
As she said that with a small smile, the princess clasped her outstretched hand and held it.
“I have pretty picky tastes, so be prepared to hear me say it’s not that big of a deal!”
“Yes, yes, you must be feeling nostalgic. Your Royal Highness~”
This is how the princess’s life in the underground began.
