Chapter 766 – Day 88 – Looking at Oberga’s Harmonious Appearance, the Princess Remembers Something.
“Oh my god, Leonie! Is that really you? Oh my god!”
“Mom?! It wasn’t enough to wait outside!”
The princess and her party who got off the carriage were greeted by a middle-aged woman in a wheelchair. There were numerous servants standing behind her, and the beautiful mansion of the ‘Aubert family’ was in place.
The mansion had an ordinary exterior that was neither overly flashy nor poverty-stricken.
“Leonie… Mom really thought something bad had happened to you. After she bought her prosthetic arm from the wizards, she went back to the village.”
“I’m really sorry, Mom, but she had something she wanted to do.”
Without hesitation, Leonie knelt down in front of her mother in her wheelchair, spread her arms out and gave her a hug. As soon as they saw her knees getting dirty with mud, the maids standing around her were startled, but Leonie didn’t care.
“How are you, Mom? I talked to Jad in the carriage, and she said nothing special happened.”
“What could be so special, Leonie? Mommy hasn’t slept a wink for two years, and all she’s worried about is that my precious daughter will get seriously hurt somewhere, and that she won’t even be able to eat.
Haha! I can’t do that, mom! I’m dad and mom’s daughter!”
The woman raised her eyebrows at Leonie’s bright smile and patted her beloved daughter on the back.
“I’m glad there weren’t any serious injuries. Zad did a good job too. Have the monsters decreased a bit?”
Leonie and her princess may feel a little bad, but the people of the Aubert family still can’t believe that the monsters have been cleaned up.
“Leonie spotless up the monsters. It was organized so neatly that not a single goblin, let alone an orc, would be able to wander around for at least a few years.”
“Oh my gosh, is this really true? She’s been through a lot these past two years.”
Leonie, looking proud at her mother’s praise, naturally got up from her seat.
“No, no, I haven’t done anything special. It’s all thanks to the help of the girl here from Holympia.”
Leonie smiled and pointed at the princess who got out of her carriage and smiled quietly. As soon as the princess heard those words, she politely raised the corners of her mouth and held the end of her dress to greet her.
“Leoni, if it weren’t for Miss Aubert’s thorough field investigation, she would never have been able to eliminate the source of the monsters.”
“Oh, are you a young noblewoman? You are quite polite. Hoho, I’m sorry. If her legs were fine, I would have been just as polite.”
“No. Politeness is something that is done to avoid causing discomfort to each other. It is not something that should be forced on someone who has trouble with their legs.”
Hehe, you brought a very nice girl, Leonie.”
The woman who tapped her daughter’s butt naturally looked at Jad Ober.
The eldest daughter, Jad Ober, who cannot understand her mother’s words, approaches her mother’s side with a smile.
“… What is your name? You don’t seem like an ordinary person?”
“It looks like Leonie recognizes her, but she got into an accident and ended up in that village. I don’t know her name.”
“Oh, it’s flowing in? Isn’t there a way for it to flow in, other than the hole in the north?”
Jad Ober quietly nods his head at her mother’s whisper.
“Look at my mind. I left the precious person that Leonie brought here standing around for too long. Let’s go inside and get some relief from the travel.”
I waved at Madame Aubert’s maid who smiled. As her maid actually began to push her wife’s wheelchair, the princess looked at Leonie.
“Haha, I’m sorry. I’m sorry. It’s been a while since I met her mom, so I hugged her without realizing it and made her fuss.”
“It’s okay. You just met Sister Leonie’s parents. But is it okay if I ask you a question that might be rude?”
“Huh? What, I don’t think the lady from Holympia would ask that question?”
The princess carefully places her mouth against Leonie’s ear as she smiles.
“Is your mother unwell?”
“Ah? Mom? I don’t know. I just think people in my family get a little sick somewhere around Mom’s age.”
Leonie shrugs her shoulders and looks like it’s no big deal.
“You’re just feeling sick?”
“Oh, isn’t it something that runs in the family? Haha! But look, I’m healthy enough to wear a prosthetic like this, so don’t worry.”
Leonie winked, grabbed Sitri’s hand as she stood awkwardly in her carriage, and trudged into her mansion.
“Sister Leonie! I’m outside…”
“What are you talking about? If you came, you should have come all the way here! And who was looking after me before the princess came? Come in, Sitri.”
The princess smiled as she watched the two people let out small screams and looked up at the huge mansion in silence.
“I don’t know why…”
I just saw her mother and daughter hugging each other with big smiles.
The princess, with her strange emotions blooming deep in her heart, presses her pounding heart with her right hand.
“Why do I feel like I’m missing it? I can’t remember anything about it…”
* * *
“Ah~ I’m sorry for welcoming the person who helped our lovely youngest daughter to a place that doesn’t have anything set up like this?”
“No, I think this is enough.”
“Hehe, he too, the war with the southerners has just ended, so the governor and all are busy, so no one is at the mansion.”
The princess smiles and covers her breasts with her hands. If she was wearing a nun’s uniform, she wouldn’t have to, but she was wearing the dress that Leonie gave her quite naturally.
At first she refused, but when she heard that it was a gift from Madame Aubert, she could no longer refuse.
“That is why the Duke of Auvers was not seen.”
“Oh my, you seem to know her well. Although she will be back soon.”
“There’s no way I don’t know the Duke of Auvers, who is called the morning star of the southern part of the empire. Even though I don’t have memories, I know him through common sense as a nobleman of the empire.”
“How can you speak so beautifully…”
Madame Aubert is genuinely in a good mood and she smiles happily. Jad Ober, who was sitting a little away from her, didn’t look very bright.
“Sitri, you said you can eat it without any hesitation?”
“Um, that’s it. Even so, I can cook such luxurious dishes…”
“Haha! It’s really okay. You’re not betraying the people in the village by eating some of this meat.”
Sitri, who looks helpless at the kindness of Leonie who is right next to her, hesitates and eventually eats a large portion of the meat. She was going crazy because of the guilt, but it didn’t change the fact that meat was delicious.
“Wow, it’s really soft and so delicious.”
“Really? I heard it tastes different from the rabbits and deer near the village. Oh, that’s right, Mom. There’s a village I come from.”
“Are you talking about Eze Village?”
“Oh, was that the name? Anyway, over there. Can I help you in some way? A cold wind will blow soon.”
Madame Ober smiles happily at her youngest daughter’s lovely request.
“Then how dare I abandon my duty as a nobleman? I have wanted to solve the problem of Eze Village for a long time, but I was just unable to do much because of the war with the Southerners.”
Haha, okay! Then let’s talk more clearly later.”
Leonie winked at Sitri, and the princess sipped wine in silence.
The princess naturally felt good about this situation, where she could eat good food and drink good alcohol at will.
But a strange feeling continued to bloom somewhere in her heart.
‘Obviously, I’m just looking at the peaceful and happy appearance of the Aubert family…’
I’m just watching the daily life of a happy family.
The princess feels so frustrated that she feels a bitter taste in her mouth.
What on earth went wrong?
Why do I feel longing and loneliness in this scenery?
‘I have no memory, so I don’t know why I feel this way.’
Without hiding her complex emotions, the princess gulps down the wine as if she were drinking water.
“But the lady from Holympia drinks quite well.”
“… Yes?”
“Hohoho, I’m not saying what to say. Even though I’m like this, I used to drink quite a bit too.”
Madame Aubert simply felt sympathy and said her words.
“Oh, by the way, you drink our family’s wine well? This is really strong. Right, Mom?”
“Hehe, it’s not as strong as Galagon’s liquor, but it’s one of the strongest in the empire.”
The princess, feeling uncomfortable with the conversation between her mother and daughter, looks at her full wine glass again.
‘Strong alcohol…?’
The princess, who drank it like water and grape juice, was embarrassed.
‘No way, really…’
The royal family is fundamentally different from humans.
So sometimes, we feel different sensations from the sensations that humans generally feel. The princess, knowing her ‘common sense’, trembled with her hands.
“Mom, didn’t she just drink it because she felt good and didn’t know anything? She said she got her dad drunk like that when she first met him a long time ago.”
“Hehe, he also tells such embarrassing stories.”
Jad Ober got up from her seat and approached the princess very naturally.
“You smell quite a bit like alcohol. Are you okay? Lady from Holympia?”
This was her golden opportunity for the princess. Anyway, it was late at night, and after this, we decided to wash her body or rest in the room and talk about the difficult topic tomorrow.
“Oh, that’s… I’m sorry. I guess I relaxed too much.”
“Hehe, no. Our family’s alcohol has that charm.”
“Mom, I can’t keep guests drunk, so if you don’t mind, I’d like to show you to your room.”
The wife nods her head at Jad Ober’s words. The princess also didn’t miss her chance and pretended to be a little drunk, and started to leave while being supported by Jad Aubert’s waist.
“… You’re having a hard time. The lady from Holympia.”
“Sorry, Miss Jad Ober.”
As he left the huge restaurant and walked down the hallway, Jad Ober said with a smile.
“Oh, there’s nothing to be sorry about. You’re a very precious guest from Holympia, right? You should get enough points to score.”
“I… May not be the daughter of such a high-ranking family. Please don’t overdo it.”
“Oh my, you show too much humility. If Venus Holympia, a member of the royal family, is not a precious person, then who else in the empire is precious?”
The princess flinched at the whisper without any hint of ridicule, and quickly grabbed Jad’s shoulder and pushed him away.
“Don’t say that. I am not Venus Holympia.”
“Oh my, you’re not the princess?”
“Yes, I can never be that girl. The more she thinks about that name, the angrier she becomes.”
The princess bit her lip and adjusted her clothes.
“I’m sorry… I’ll leave the room by myself.”
Jad Ober, who saw the princess nodding goodbye and walking down his hallway again, raised the corners of his mouth and touched his chin.
“I think I know why Emperor Jupiter announced that the princess was dead. Have fun. Is it okay for gold to come rolling in like this?~?”
There were always people who wanted to take advantage of a princess with a pure heart, and Jad Ober was no different.
