Chapter 66 – Day 9 – A Day With Marquis Jesse
“Venus, the great princess of the empire where the sun never sets, is getting off the ship!”
It’s just coming down a small staircase, but the people in front of the princess bow her head and say hello.
I don’t know when exactly she heard the news of her coming her, but people appeared with huge musical instruments and started playing, and people cheering and clapping their hands filled the harbor.
“Sorry for being late. Princess Venus.”
Contrary to what he said, Marquis Jesse, who had been waiting quietly at the port, greeted the princess with a smile.
In Mediolanum, which he ruled, there were several piers with vacant berths even if the ship the princess was on docked at, and so many ships were coming in and leaving that they filled the piers.
The buildings were of the right size, but they weren’t built with glittering gold, so anyone could tell that it was a city that was making a lot of money.
“I’m really sorry that I came to the estate so suddenly. As a marquis, there must be a lot of work to do, but didn’t I interfere?”
At the princess’ answer her, the Marquis shook her head.
It wasn’t because they knew each other’s embarrassing secrets that they made such an appropriate greeting.
“No. It’s just an honor that the princess, who will rule the empire in the future, is the first to come to my territory.”
The princess gave a small smile as she bowed her head and gave a serious answer.
Of course, the princess was not the only one who got off the ship, but numerous attendants, including Ceres.
The princess was unloading a wagon and several items of luggage that she had to ride in front of her.
Glancing at the numerous cargoes, Venus points to them with his thumb.
“No matter how much you say it’s an honor, I’m too shameless. I’ve brought you a nice present.”
At the words of the princess, Ceres opened the box she was holding and presented it to her marquis.
Inside the black box was a fairly long gun.
Not only was it decorated in golden color, but it was even stamped with a large seal as proof that it was made for the royal family.
“Wow, princess…! Give me this gun…!”
Embarrassed, Jessie puts her hand on her waist and rubs it hastily, wondering whether she should take off his glove her or touch it with his bare hand her.
“Haha, don’t be too embarrassed. If the pagans and demons didn’t attack, wouldn’t you be in a position to win the hunting competition?”
“But these things… “
“Don’t be too pressured. There are dozens of guns like this in Obama’s treasure chest.”
Venus personally closes the box Ceres is holding and hands it over to Marquis Jesse.
After Jesse, with a surprised expression on his face, he stretched out his hand and received the box containing the gun, and bowed once more.
“Princess, thank you for giving me this grace.”
“In addition to the presents for you, I brought you gold coins properly, so use them wisely. I don’t know if the other race will accept them.”
Unlike the princess’s hearty laugh, Marquis Jessie smiled bitterly.
The moment he said the word heterogeneous, although it was for a moment, his expression his was not good.
In fact, the princess saw so many different races that it was almost colorless to say that it was an imperial territory, a marquis’ land, and a huge port.
I couldn’t help but watch the elves even though I didn’t want to see them.
“Thank you for thinking. Princess. Surprisingly, humans aren’t the only ones who like gold.”
“Haha, that’s amazing. What’s so good about this shiny guy!”
Clicking his tongue, Venus begins to walk as the Marquis guides her.
The sun was high in the sky and the sea breeze blew moderately, but it was damp and rather hot.
For the princess, who was wearing a pure white, wide and splendid dress, Ceres followed her with a parasol spread.
“Mediolanum is bigger and more beautiful than I’ve heard.”
“Thank you for the compliment. However, I did not create such a huge city. Those high walls and this huge harbor were created by the marquis who ruled these places from long ago.”
The Marquis points with his hand to the harbor and the high walls.
The port city was guarded by a huge wall that would make it impossible to see the end unless you lift your head high and bend your neck.
The size of the city itself was also considerable, so many boats and people were crowded, but the streets did not feel narrow.
‘Or maybe they cleared the way a bit because of the rumors I was coming.’
The princess moves her legs while listening to Marquis Jesse’s explanation while thinking to herself.
“Your palace is over there.”
Jesse nods as Venus points her finger at a rather large building at the edge of the cliff.
From the court on the cliff, you could see both the scenery around the castle and the ships coming in from the sea in the distance.
“That’s right. Princess, it’s a shabby place compared to the imperial palace, but I’ll make sure you don’t have any inconvenience while staying at Mediolanum.”
“Don’t worry, did I bring a lot of attendants for no reason? Don’t worry, as long as you rent the guest room to me.”
“Haha, how can I do that?”
Jesse smiled and said, and the princess saw that smile and she quietly clung to his body.
The Marquis was perfectly dressed as a man, similar to the one we met last time.
He had his gray hair cut short and was wearing a scarf to cover his neck.
The clothes she was wearing also started with pants and a jacket to cover her voluptuous, feminine figure.
His appearance was no different from the attire of aristocratic men common in any territory, but…
‘It’s really interesting to see that there are cute pussies and breasts on the inside even though I’m wearing this kind of clothes.”
Only, she is a secret that only she knows in this world. The princess looks at her Marquis Jessie with a slight smile.
“…?”
Unsure of the meaning of her gaze, he looked at the princess with her uneasy eyes and cleared his throat.
“How have you been since then? It’s only been a day, but you’ve come back to this city so quickly.”
“It’s great.. I went by boat when I went to the imperial palace, so I was able to come back quickly.”
At Jesse’s words, the princess nodded her head, and knowing that Ceres was the only one looking at her, she put her hand down and patted her butt.
“…!!!”
Jesse’s eyes flashed in surprise and looked at the princess.
Fortunately, there was nothing to worry about because the attendants around them were walking while looking at the ground, as if they couldn’t be with the same gaze as the sky-like princess.
“Sulfur-“
“Okay, I guess I’ll have to talk to you at your palace today. Shouldn’t we quickly find out the identity of the aristocrat who tried to incite the demons to plot an evil plot?”
The princess spoke her words a little faster, and Jesse let out a sigh and nodded her head.
A slap on her butt could have been a simple, very small prank.
“Okay. Then, as soon as you enter the palace, let’s prepare the room.”
As I was climbing the steep cliff with Jessie, I saw a hill with terraced areas.
There were numerous houses on this hill as well, and unlike the ones down there, it was different from the way they dressed, as if they were a little more classy or wealthy.
“But Marquis Jesse, why are you in this city…”
While talking, the princess saw a man with a rather large body passing by with a strange expression on her face.
The smell of sweat stinging her nose and the strong smell of her male mate surprised the princess a little, but the fact that the man’s skin glowed green also played a part.
“Are you a god who wants to ask if there are many different races?”
“Yes, it’s about the level of elves… Even in the imperial palace, there are cases where they are used as servants, so it’s not surprising, but what just passed…”
“It’s an orc. It has a height and body that is basically one torso taller than us.”
“Hoo…”
The princess blinked her eyes as the orc, dressed in a completely different body, trudged away from her and disappeared into the harbor far below.
“…Those are then…”
The princess tried to say her words, but she looked at Ceres and said, “She’s big.”
What nonsense are you talking about again? Her exclusive maid let out a sigh, but she pretended to cover her own mouth with her hand.
Unnoticed, Venus raises his hand and covers Jesse’s ear and whispers.
“You have a big body, so can you think that the attached cock is also big?”
“… Ugh!”
Jessie let out a sharp scream and pushed her hand a little on the shoulder of her princess.
Since we shared some secrets, there was no problem with this level of touch.
Covering his stomach her with his hand her, Venus giggled while Jessie hurriedly pushed her forehead her with her hand as if it were a star.
“They say it’s great. There are no girls who accept it at the Changgwan, so she often goes wild … Even if she does she doesn’t want to know, she knows.”
“Oh, you have a Changgwan in the manor. Isn’t it a brothel?”
While the former felt a bit public and allowed, the latter felt completely illegal.
At the princess’s question, Jessie groaned and exhaled, then briefly braided her own hair with her fingers.
“… After inheriting the estate, I was a bit shocked… But I couldn’t help it.”
“Hmm what do you mean?”
“A lot of people come in and out of this port. Once you get on a boat… You have to sail for months.”
“If you’re a guy who hasn’t seen a woman for months, you’ll definitely want to hug her even if you pay 10 times more money.”
“That’s right. So.. Kheum, the tax is a little excessive, but we are officially acknowledging it.”
Since Jessi was a woman, it seemed that such a window was quite precious.
However, the princess nodded her head as if she thought it was a reasonable choice.
“Isn’t it an inevitable choice? I heard that alcohol, bread, and women are popular items anytime, anywhere.”
“The princess is also included in that woman…”
Haha, strangely enough, I’m not popular, so I haven’t even gotten engaged to this age!”
She was a princess who spoke while laughing, but her Marquis Jessie laughs bitterly.
“What kind of idiot… Would dare to tell His Majesty the Emperor that his daughter is running. Maybe…”
“I’m sure Obama will find a good mate.”
Glancing at her Ceres, the princess exchanged her eyes.
Because she did n’t make a mistake, her exclusive maid did n’t say anything, and she arrived at the palace of the Marquis Jesse before she knew it, so she started folding her parasol.
“Elfs and Orcs, sooner or later, guys with beast ears will come in to trade with the Empire.”
“…”
Jesse laughs awkwardly at the princess’s joke.
“…Already there. Okay, let’s stop talking nonsense and go inside.”
Only then does Jessie go inside with a bright smile when she sees Venus waving his hand forward.
As it was a city where many different races traded and came and went, his palace was decorated with splendid ornaments from the entrance.
“Hoo…”
Starting with the flashy, flashy staff known to be used by elves, there was also a huge drum that the orcs I had met earlier gave me as a gift.
In addition to that, I saw that there were lavishly decorated items that could not be thought of as being used by humans.
“This… Looks like some giant glove.”
“Haha, I got it from two dwarves. You used this huge thing well.”
Jesse gestured to his attendants at the same time he spoke.
Spectacularly displayed at the entrance of the palace, these objects are of course meant to show off, but also to buy time to prepare a welding room for guests.
“Aren’t there a lot of really strange things? Ceres.”
At the question, Ceres nodded quietly rather than open his mouth.
It was difficult to dare to open my mouth in front of the Marquis and the Princess.
“It looks like the room is ready. Please come over here.”
Jessie points to the rather large door at the end of the hallway.
When I followed him inside, I could see the small food I had never seen in my life and a drink with a nice scent, probably prepared in an instant by the attendants.
There were also fancy art supplies and vessels in this drawing room, but the princess’ interest was not there.
“By the way, don’t you have the duty to prevent the invasion of the different races? I know that as a marquis, you have the most important mission than anything else.”
I don’t know what animal skin the soft sofa was made of, but it felt pretty good to sit on.
The princess raises her hand and gestures to all the attendants except for Ceres to leave.
“Everyone go out, I guess I’ll have to talk with the princess alone.”
I saw the people hesitate for a moment at Jesse’s words, but seeing Jesse nod, they all left the parlor.
Now, three women were left in the room, and as soon as Venus saw the last attendant leave her, she grabbed a small piece of food in front of her and shoved it into his mouth her.
The chewy texture made the princess chew on it.
“It’s a snack called jelly. I hope it suits the taste of the princess.”
“Don’t worry, it fits perfectly in your mouth.”
“It is true that we, Mediolanum, have an obligation to prevent the invasion of other races. Therefore, we decided to engage in more earnest trade with them.”
“Hmm…”
Anticipating Jessie’s words, the princess lifted the teacup in front of her and brought it to her mouth her.
Fortunately, there was no steam rising, and I was able to drink it coolly because of the hard-to-see ice.
“Did you know that elves also have their own sects? Among the orcs, there are those who enjoy plunder, and there are those who know honor.”
“Among the Dwarves, there are those who like to make things, and there are those who like to destroy them.”
“Exactly. This city now has people of different races who are settling down and doing business. It’s their livelihood.”
“Whoa… Then, if there are bastards attacking this city…”
The princess laughed.
Unless the city is full of heterogeneous races, they will think of humans similarly, just as humans have a reluctance toward heterogeneous races.
The heterogeneous people I saw while coming up from the ship were also unusual, so they jumped in the eyes, but in reality, there were more humans living there.
“That’s right. The lives of the other races living in this city are also threatened, and what kind of stupid person would do such a thing easily?”
“That’s a pretty good idea, I can see why your family, starting with your father, has long prospered and ruled this Mediolanum peacefully.”
The princess smiled and sipped the cold beverage with a loud voice.
Then she slowly set her glass down and met her eyes with the Marquis Jesse.
“Because you’re smart, let me ask you a favor. Let’s find out rumors about demons in this city with me today.”
