Chapter 768 – Day 88 – The Princess Is Forced to Make a Choice.
“Okay…”
The princess, letting out her painful breathing, tossed and turned in her bed for a while.
The princess, who had received a splendid welcome from Madame Aubert, was clearly feeling well and at ease, but she could not sleep easily.
‘I have work to do…’
I don’t know what it is. She couldn’t even fall asleep because it kept reminding her that she wasn’t doing something very important.
Every time she held the blanket tightly with both hands or turned her body, the incredibly soft fabric stimulated her cock and she felt like if she left it like this, her sex drive would heat up again. No, she had already developed an erection, and she even had the thought of masturbating, so the princess finally got up from her seat.
‘If things continue like this, I’ll spend the night masturbating like a male dog in heat.’
The princess, feeling miserable about her body again, stands up from her bed, rubbing her forehead with her right hand.
‘Would it be a good idea to have a little warm drink? Or should I at least read a book?’
The princess glanced at the room, which was better decorated than she expected, and although she was more into entertainment, she remembered that there were books with titles that intrigued her. She got up perfectly, not having any intention of sticking her butt down on the bed.
Let’s drink something first. Thinking like that, the princess carefully goes out of her room. There certainly were a lot of maids in her huge mansion, but not now.
Since it was probably time for everyone to be sleeping, the princess quietly headed to the restaurant without calling anyone.
‘Huh?’
As the princess walked down her hallway for a while, listening to the sound of rain pouring down outside her, she saw someone walking with a small lantern.
The princess immediately recognized that it was Jad Ober, tall and wearing a beautiful dress, and stopped in her tracks.
‘I shouldn’t do this, but…’
She instinctively guessed that Jad Aubert had some kind of secret, so the princess followed him carefully.
I don’t know why she knew how to muffle her footsteps, but the princess followed Jad Aubert very carefully.
After walking a bit down the huge hallway and climbing up her stairs, the princess was finally able to see Jad Aubert entering a room.
‘If you think it’s terrible to do something like this.’
The princess carefully placed her ear to the wooden door. Surprisingly, the voice coming from within her was heard clearly in the princess’s ears. If she were an ordinary person, it would have been impossible to eavesdrop on her, but she was a princess, no matter what anyone said, she was not a human being.
“Jad, you are having a hard time staying up late at night.”
The owner of the faint voice was Madame Aubert.
“Mom is doing the hard work.”
“There’s nothing we can do about it. It’s our family’s fate.”
“Mom, I told you this last time, right? You don’t remember. Or are you just ignoring me?”
Although it was a conversation between her daughter and her mother, it did not feel entirely warm, so the princess swallowed her saliva with a nervous expression.
“Ah… Jad, my lovely daughter. Let’s not talk about that. We have guests too.”
“Because of that customer, Mom and I have a chance.”
“Jard, you shouldn’t return a favor with vengeance. Didn’t you hear about Leonie? She was the one who solved the problems in Eze Village and fixed Leonie’s prosthetic hand, right?”
Unlike Madame Ober, who spoke calmly, Jad Ober’s emotions were so strong that they could be felt even through the door.
“Of course I know that. But Mom, other than the matter of the girl I met for the first time today, don’t you remember what I, her eldest daughter, said on a regular basis?”
“Jad… That’s something you shouldn’t do.”
“Something must not be done. I told you that Eternity made a promise to us! Your illness can be cured. You will be able to walk on your own two legs again like before!”
After shouting, Jad Ober exhales violently for a moment.
“Zard… You know very well what eternity is. A noble from an empire where the sun never sets would never…”
“That proud empire dragged my father and my younger siblings into the war against the Southerners. Fortunately, it ended well, but they only took us when we needed it and never helped us.”
“Don’t say things like that, Jad. The reason we live in such luxury and are treated like nobles is all because of the grace of the empire.”
“Mom!! How long are you going to talk so frustratingly? Don’t you remember what the demon I introduced you said? They said there is a cure! With the demon’s magic, you can walk!!”
The wife does not respond to Jad Ober’s cries for a long time.
“Jad, my lovely daughter.”
“Mom!!”
“Demons always use sweet things that can never be obtained as bait to sway our human hearts. You know that.”
“Eternity is different. The demons belonging to Eternity talk to me normally and do business properly.”
The wife sighs at her daughter’s cry.
“What if I’m only pretending because I need your trust?”
“It doesn’t matter anyway. We have what the other person really wants. Asking for the medicine to cure her mother is nothing.”
“Jad, don’t even think about returning the favor with vengeance.”
“Emperor Jupiter also abandoned the princess! Mom! You heard! She announced that the princess was dead!”
Jad shouted and slammed her hand on the table, feeling so frustrated.
“The princess came to our house! That princess who lost her memory! She doesn’t even know she is the princess, mom!”
“… Don’t forget your duty as a noble.”
“My family participated in the war to protect that well-earned duty! We were dragged into the battlefield and almost died! We received nothing!!”
“His Majesty the Emperor will carefully weigh the merits and award a reward. The war has just ended. The settlement of the war is just beginning.”
Unlike her wise-talking mother, her daughter feels more frustrated.
“Please, please! A land like that! What does gold and silver have to do with it? Mom can walk again?”
“Jad, don’t lie.”
“Eternity doesn’t lie. She said she would give her a medicine! She said it could cure her mother’s chronic illness!”
“You’re not saying that because of my illness, are you?”
Jad Ober silences his insightful mother.
“My family’s history. Just like I can’t walk like this, aren’t you joining hands with those demons because you’re also afraid of getting some kind of disease?”
“Oh, no. I really! Uh, I’m doing this because of my mom’s illness? Yes?”
“No matter what the reason, cooperating with demons is a serious crime that can be executed at any time.”
Despite his wife’s wise words, Jad Ober had no intention of backing down.
“Mom, why are you living such a frustrating life? You’re the princess who lost her memories.”
“Jad…”
“She doesn’t even know she is the princess! His Majesty the Emperor doesn’t even look for the princess! He even announced that she is dead! If we hand over the princess to the demons, my mother and I will be free from the illness in our family forever!”
“Listen to Mom. Nothing in this world is given for free. Even if you hand over the princess to those demons, the medicine you wish for will never be given.”
“That’s because my mother is frustrated and views Eternity as just a demon!”
In the end, the daughter and mother could not resolve each other’s positions and just continued to argue.
The princess, her face turning white, quickly fell from her door and covered her mouth with her right hand.
‘Are you really saying that I am the princess?’
Not only was Leonie thinking that way, but everyone in the Aubert family was convinced.
She still thought she wasn’t the princess, but that wasn’t important to her now.
‘In return for handing me over to the demons…’
The princess, who began to break out in a cold sweat, returns to her room as if running away.
She still doesn’t know who she is, but that’s not important anymore.
If he is taken over by demons called Eternity or something, the Ober family will be saved.
‘But…’
To be honest, there was no need for the princess to do that. No matter how good a person she is, there is no need for her to hand herself over to her demons.
However, what made the princess more distressed than that was another fact.
‘Emperor Jupiter said that the princess was dead… That she was dead…’
Who is the princess’s father? He is the emperor.
Why did the emperor announce that the princess was dead?
I can’t imagine. However, at least when she heard that the emperor was ‘dead’ rather than the hopeful story that he was ‘looking for’ her, the princess could not help but think negatively.
‘Perhaps… I…’
The princess clenched her fists and collapsed in her hallway, unable to breathe properly.
‘Abandoned… Were you given it? To His Majesty the Emperor…’
Other than that, the story doesn’t fit.
‘So… If that’s why you missed seeing the serenity of the House of Auvers… If you felt bitter…’
The princess clenched her molars and lowered her head, unable to get up.
Realizing that in this world, she was likely abandoned by a being who could be said to be the master of the empire on which the sun never sets, the princess fell into an unimaginable sense of helplessness.
‘Then… Even if I regain my memories… I was abandoned anyway… Maybe… Maybe…’
Emperor Jupiter is an efficient and cruel being. There is a reason why he went out of his way to inform the entire empire that the princess had died.
Even if he was alive, it would have been a trick to make him live a life he was not alive
The princess, recalling her vague knowledge, burst into a bitter smile.
‘If I regain my memories with the help of the Aubert family, His Majesty the Emperor will definitely be angry and punish the family…’
If you remain calm, you can become the prisoner who cures the Ober family’s illness.
If he regains his memories, he can create the perfect excuse for the execution of everyone in the Aubert family.
“Ha, haha… Really…”
The princess, not wanting to choose either, covered her face with her hands.
“You truly are a terrible father. Emperor Jupiter…”
She had another reason to hope that she was not a princess.
