Chapter 732 – Day 83 – Ceres Uses 100% of His Special Skills to Help the Princess.
“Hohoho, how happy I am that Her Majesty Venus Holympia really likes women.”
“That’s right. It’s easier to get pregnant than to get pregnant, right? If you take the medicine that was popular last time, it won’t be difficult to get pregnant at once.”
Ceres let out a heartfelt sigh at the loud noises made by the nobles who covered their faces with their fans.
She said, ‘Even if she had a relationship with the princess once, if she was planning to use that as an excuse to show favor, there’s no way it would go as planned. Even if she really wasn’t a child born from the princess’s seed, her lie would be discovered from the moment she was born, and she would be destroyed.
Ceres cleared her throat, feeling genuine pity at the shallow number of women who could clearly see her insides.
The nobles who were naturally camped in front of the huge door were once again looking forward to the princess’s appearance like hungry beasts waiting for their prey.
─Knock knock knock
As this was planned in advance, Ceres quickly realized her situation and straightened her back greatly. She naturally opened the tightly closed door, and the princess and Hedone walked out from inside.
“You ended up looking quite embarrassed.”
“It’s okay, princess. I think the head of the house and the prime minister would like to see each other again for the next schedule.”
“I wish it hadn’t happened at the banquet hall, but I can’t help it. Let’s move.”
As the princess wearing a platinum-colored dress naturally begins to walk down the hallway with Hedone arm in arm, the nobles hiding from afar naturally begin to follow her.
Everyone was trying desperately to impress the princess like beasts that had been starving for several days.
“The Crown Princess~ You looked really nice at the banquet hall earlier. Do you have any special plans tonight?”
The princess lightly raises the corners of her mouth at the beautiful young lady’s words.
“Isn’t today the day I became the crown princess? It’s a happy day even in the empire where the sun never sets. Shouldn’t this kind of joy and happiness be celebrated for a long time?”
The nobles who notice the princess’s answer smile. The princess likes women. That fact was no longer just a rumor that heated up the social world, but the truth.
Now, how can I win the heart of such a princess? That became an important point. It will be Hedone who becomes empress, but there is no guarantee that the child she gives birth to will be her successor.
It was not for nothing that the successor grew up healthy and became an adult. A baby could die as soon as it was born, and illness was something that humans could not do anything about.
Looking back on the long history of the empire, including unexpected epidemics, attacks by demons, carriage accidents, etc., The eldest daughter and eldest son did not necessarily become emperor.
‘Although she is not the princess, there was a strong feeling that the successor to the empire was determined by ability. There was a time when it was almost common sense that if you couldn’t accomplish a task, you couldn’t become crown prince or crown princess.’
Ceres turns around to see the princess disappearing into the distance. She had always acted like a shadow of the princess, but now, at this moment, she was acting very strangely.
“Vesta. The princess has moved there. Please do your best to assist.”
“Yes, I understand. Ceres.”
This situation was very familiar to Ceres, who turned off the light on her earring on her right side with a slight shake of her head.
‘At first, when Diana and Hedone said they would borrow my wisdom, I thought they were giving me a little water, but…’
The two women truly sought her wisdom purely for the sake of the princess.
Ceres, knowing this, decided to give everything he had to help this situation.
She walked down an isolated hallway that was not often used by nobles and entered a room where numerous supplies were already stored. She took off the maid uniform she was wearing very skillfully and put on a dress over it.
“V, can you hear my voice?”
“Ah, yes! I never thought there would be a magic tool like this in the world.”
The earring Ceres wore on her left was shining red.
“I would like you to play Hedone from now on.”
“There’s no need to make a big deal, right? Mr. Ceres?”
“Yes, you can have a leisurely conversation with Miss Diana nearby. It is clear that Diana will control the situation, so you can work comfortably with the feeling that you are learning the topic of conversation.”
For a moment, the sound of V heading somewhere was heard from the earring.
“We have arrived. Please cheer up Mr. Ceres.”
By the time the light from her earrings had faded, Ceres had completely removed her maid’s uniform, put on her pearl necklace around her neck, and put on a purple dress. She took out a small bottle hidden inside her maid uniform, brought it to her mouth, and drank it without hesitation.
In an instant, Ceres, who was not the clean-faced Ceres that the princess was familiar with, changed into a lady with brown hair and walked out, holding the fan in front of her.
Ceres moved quickly, making the clicking sound of high heels, and naturally approached the women who were whispering.
“Oh, my God… I’m sorry, everyone, but do you know where Hedone has gone?”
Ceres, with her nasal voice and acting like a noblewoman, was perfect. In fact, she didn’t have any difficulties because her voice and face changed completely.
“Oh, what’s going on? It looks like Hedone and the princess went to the garden earlier?”
It was a natural reaction, but Ceres looked very embarrassed and fanned himself.
“Oh my, that can’t be right. She was in an uproar because Lord Hedone was having an important talk with Miss Diana…”
“Important talk? What can she talk about with a woman like Diana Redblood?”
The woman making the nasal sound was, as Ceres knew, a typical old nobleman.
“It seems like they were talking about the train… They were talking about expanding towards Gregorio, which is close to Colonia…”
“Hah? What kind of nonsense is that? If the railway expands, of course we, Galagon, need it!”
The women in the group cleared their throats briefly at the woman’s short cry.
“Anyway, I have to quickly go to Diana’s place.”
Ceres grabbed the hem of her dress and started running, and the other women quickly followed behind her.
There were already a lot of nobles watching Diana and Hedone talking.
“What in the world, Hedone is really here and not with the Crown Princess! Damn it!”
“Ahh! Just now! That idiot told a strange rumor!”
The nobles, clenching their molars, were already struggling to break through the crowd that was forming a circle.
The fact that Hedone was her first wife is now something no one can deny. On the other hand, if she gets a good score from her, there is a possibility that she will get a good score from the princess as well.
The nobles, who did not know where the ‘princess’ was and said that it was a chicken instead of a pheasant, began trying their best to join in on the conversation.
‘As expected, Diana. By appropriately placing the old and new nobles who were introduced by Odre next to V, you created an atmosphere where anyone could participate in the conversation.’
Diana’s seemingly easygoing aura was enough to raise the nobles’ expectations.
Ceres slipped out behind her with a satisfied expression and looked at the nobles while unwrapping the pearl necklace around her neck.
“Quick! Quick! Someone brings the duke! Diana, that damn bitch is roasting Hedone!”
There were quite a few nobles who pointed in low voices at the servants who had been brought in and shouted at them to bring someone over.
‘As the princess said, magic cannot be used in the imperial palace today, so I will have no choice but to personally spread the word about who is where in this huge palace. Well, this is enough.’
Ceres entered the dark hallway again, snorting, and skillfully transformed into another person again.
“Jay? Yes, just act as you said earlier.”
While making endless requests to the sisters of Hedone, Ceres was very skillful in speaking to the nobles he could see.
Sometimes, he pretended to be a very wealthy noblewoman and pretended to gossip about him doing dirty things again when he had just met the princess.
He transformed into a female knight in shiny armor and created a false rumor that Hedone was gazing at and evaluating the numerous carriages in her stable.
“I think this is enough.”
Ceres, who sent the nobles who filled the imperial palace with a satisfied expression from place to place as if they were training them, even turned into a servant and sold the name of some count and even lied that the words were from so-and-so duke. It made people confused.
─Knock knock knock
As promised, Ceres knocked and entered the door and cleared his throat.
“You can come out now, princess.”
─Rock! The princess opened the large closet in her room and walked out, casually wiping the sweat from her forehead.
“Whew! Agnes is playing me again. Is this really okay?”
“If the problem is that you are distressed because you feel like Hedone is being taken away from you, you can run to the garden right now.”
“Stop saying strange things!!”
The princess, who made a fuss about her, slapped Ceres’ butt for no reason. But Ceres only laughed once and very naturally grabbed the princess by the shoulder and dragged her to her dressing table.
“Now, wait a minute, I don’t need to do anything, do I?”
“No matter how much the princess is in the imperial palace, there is no way Minerva and her knights won’t stop her from walking through the main gate.”
“Hmm, that’s true, but why are you trying to make me wear makeup?”
“What I will do for the princess from now on is not makeup, but disguise.”
After finishing her sentence, Ceres very skillfully took out various tools from the waist of her maid’s uniform and lined them up on her dresser. Then, he held the princess’s shoulders tightly and placed her hand in her golden hair. The corners of her mouth lifted as she lifted her forehead.
“I will give you a complete disguise so that no one will recognize you, so princess, please just do as I tell you. First, when you go outside, you will need to bend your back and shoulders. If you do not wear high heels, you will look about 10 cm shorter than usual. “
“Just barely… If I put on some makeup and bend my back and shoulders, won’t people recognize me?”
“No one would recognize me if I wore glasses so big that it felt like the empire’s fashion was destroyed. Trust me, this is something I’m perfect at.”
Ceres, holding the princess’s shoulder and whispering to her, made her tail flutter as if playing a trick on her, and the princess had no choice but to believe what her expert said.
