Chapter 176 – Mirror (1)
*
Originally, it is rare for royalty to be truly loved by the people.
Not only do they not get close to each other, but they are feared or respected rather than loved due to the huge gap in status.
However, there was only one member of the royal family in Astria who was truly loved by the people.
It was the princess of Astria.
She insisted that when the people were hungry, the country’s warehouses should be opened before anyone else.
When thieves ran rampant in the country, he took the lead before anyone else to subdue them.
There were no people who were not moved by the appearance of the princess taking the lead in injustice.
Even as the princess was a peerless beauty, the kingdom of Astria continued to sing praises and bards for the princess.
That princess was Lina.
Her soldiers knelt down and said, moved by the mere sight of Lina.
“Meet the royal princess who oversees Astria, the saintess who helps the sick and the weak, and Lina Knightley, the warrior of the goddess Elpis. It is the infinite glory of her life!”
“…”
Lina put on a troubled expression at the soldier’s sincere greeting her.
The group, who hadn’t heard that Lina was her princess her, widened their eyes in surprise.
Why are there so many secrets?
Seeing the party’s flustered expression, Lina said as if making an excuse.
“…I am no longer a princess, but a warrior. The princess has stopped.”
“Even so, you are our eternal princess.”
“Ha…”
It was when Lina looked at her party to clarify.
Natasha said with a sigh.
“Lina-sama. They said you were the hero of Astria last time… You’re the princess this time? You have so many secrets.”
A caring party rarely shows a pout. Rina said in bewilderment.
“Hey… Natasha-sama? It’s not because I don’t want to talk about it…”
Then Victoria cuts Lina off and interjects.
For a moment, Lina thought Victoria was trying to help, but she wasn’t like that.
“Natasha. It can’t be helped. It’s because we didn’t put as much trust in Lina.”
“Ah. Was it like that? It can’t be helped if we weren’t reliable.”
Rina said hurriedly.
“You can’t trust me!
Not only was I embarrassed to say that I was a princess… But as I said before, I stopped being a princess.
Now I’m not a princess, I’m a warrior!”
A princess was a title. Lina gave up her title her to become a hero.
The present Lina was a princess, not a princess.
Lina looked around, hoping for her help her.
Lina asked Arwen for help with her eyes her.
“I…I don’t know!”
“…”
Arwen turned her head away, avoiding Lina’s eyes her.
Now, the only people who can help Lina are the saintess and Kerry.
However, there was no way the saintess would be of any help in this situation.
It meant that only Kerry could save Lina from the current crisis.
Kerry must have been able to solve this situation. Lina had no doubts.
But then the unbelievable happened. Isn’t Kerry turning her back on Lina?
Kerry said with her back her turned.
“I’m really sorry for not trusting you. Lina-nim. I’ll work harder to give you trust in the future.”
“!”
“Look at this. Even Seo-Bang-nim says he’s sad. It’s really rare for Seo-Bang-nim to get angry!”
“Tssu. Kerry must have been deeply hurt by her heart.”
“Heo-eok. Kerry-sama hurt your heart… Are you okay, Kerry-sama?”
Lina’s emerald eyes waved mercilessly.
Certainly, it was rare for Kerry to squirm.
Was the fact that she didn’t reveal that she was really a princess?
As Kerry turned and looked at her back her, Lina’s heart sank for no reason.
“Um… Kerry?”
“Why do you call a lacking colleague who can’t even give you trust? Lady Lina. No. Princess Lina.”
“!”
Very pissed off It’s the first time I’ve seen Kerry get so upset.
Lina was so embarrassed that she even started to break out in a cold sweat.
All sorts of thoughts come to mind. How will she apologize to Kerry to relieve her anger of her?
What if I don’t accept her apology her? She even regretted that she should have told Kerry about it.
Then, she saw Kerry’s shoulders lift slightly.
‘No way! Is she crying because she’s so sad because I hid the secret?’
Lina was restless at Kerry’s shaking shoulders of her. In her haste her, she hurriedly took her handkerchief her from her bosom her.
And she cautiously approached Kerry and was about to hand her a handkerchief.
“Kerry-sama, are you okay… ?”
“Poohyung.”
“?”
Lina turned around and walked in front of Kerry.
It was only then that I saw Kerry smiling at her mischievous expression.
“I got caught. I played a little bit. Lina-sama. Actually, I’m not upset.”
“Kerry!”
Lina rubbed her chest in surprise and at the same time her medicine her rose for no reason.
Seeing Kerry’s playfulness and her young expression her, she was even more so.
Rina, who was getting her nerves up, said.
“Ugh… I’ve done something wrong this time, so I’ll put up with it.”
Only then did the laughter of the group that had been holding back burst out.
It was all in one piece.
“Everybody really!”
Said Natasha, who led the prank.
“Sorry. Lina. I could see how sorry I was, so I played around with it. Haha.”
“I didn’t expect Kerry to join us.”
Arwen alone muttered that it was a joke.
Lina said with a slightly troubled expression.
“I can’t help it that this happened. I need to take care of myself at the castle.”
The expressions of the soldiers brighten when they say that they will take care of them. It’s not a popular joke.
“Yes! I’ll see you for sure. Princess.”
“Because you are a warrior!”
*
It’s a dark night. Lina and the others entered Astria’s castle.
I thought I would sleep on the street today, but now I can sleep comfortably in a nice castle. Lucky for you.
Since Lina had hoped to come in quietly, she did not receive a grand welcome.
However, just by looking at the glances of the soldiers standing guard over her, I could feel how popular she was with Lina.
Even though the commanding officer here guided them, the praise for Lina did not stop, so he said everything.
“Really. When I saw that huge ghoul walking from afar, I thought war was finally breaking out with the Empire.
At that time, a golden light burst out, as if the judgment of Elpis had descended.
Seeing that, I was convinced that everyone here is the hero.”
“This was never done by the Empire. I swear on the name of my champion.”
Lina worked tirelessly to resolve Astria’s mutual hatred for the empire.
Since Lina is a warrior, she naturally gets her attention to her, but she also gets attention from people who don’t.
It was Kerry.
She was full of envy in the eyes of the soldiers who saw him as the only man in the warriors’ party.
‘I only served in the army for two years… But I understand that feeling.’
It must have felt like an idol came to the unit.
The commander kept talking about the divine light he had seen.
He said that he was also a faithful follower of Elpis. When I saw that light, tears of emotion came out.
She was so kind that the good Lina politely asked her to do it in moderation, so she said it all.
‘It’s not a crowd. The power of the light Lina used was really amazing.’
Her strength was such that even a saintly woman would be surprised. Surely the name was ‘Awakening of Divine Power’?
Even with the eyes of the goddess, she couldn’t know the details, so she was frustrated.
‘If anyone asks about divine power, she must be a saint.’
I don’t expect much, but there’s nothing to lose by asking.
If her breast milk is not extracted soon, her saintess might be in trouble.
He probably has already reached his limit, but he must have endured it with his pride.
‘Ego. Tonight, when her party is all asleep, call the saintess to my room.’
[Yes. Okay. Master.]
Did he feel that Kerry was looking at him?
Just in time, the eyes of the saintess and her met. Now, when she sees a saint, her mouth her waters spontaneously. Once you taste this breast milk, you can’t stop.
Kerry sighs and licks her lips. The saintess was started by the sight and went up to her room as if she were running away.
Tonight is breastfeeding gluttony.
*
Lina and the others were assigned to the most spacious and nicest room in the castle.
Washing my body with warm water after a long time and laying down on the bed, this is heaven.
Among them were two women lying in bed early.
It was Natasha and Victoria.
“Victoria, sleep a little further away. Why are you sleeping next to me when there are many other beds!”
Said Victoria, hugging Natasha from behind her.
“It’s lonely when you sleep alone in that big bed. I’m a lonely woman.”
“It’s lonely! You don’t know that he’s trying to touch my breasts while sleeping again?”
“It’s my sleeping habit, so I can’t help it.”
“Really!”
Natasha whined in words, but she did n’t like Victoria clinging to her, so she did n’t push her away.
Said Natasha, who had been quarreling with Victoria for some time.
“Is Grandma all right?”
“Didn’t the knights say they would bring it to you early tomorrow morning?
We just have to wait.”
In fact, there was a reason Victoria was obsessed with Natasha right now.
Victoria saw an opportunity to seduce Natasha to fulfill her own ambitions her.
To Victoria, today was a good day to flirt with Natasha.
“Natasha, isn’t it time to worry about others?”
“?”
“Why are you making a face that doesn’t understand me? I’m talking about Kerry.”
“Why West?”
As soon as Kerry’s name is mentioned, her eyes are met and she focuses on the story.
Victoria’s lips her curled up. As expected, if Natasha is Kerry, she can’t use her four legs her.
“Didn’t you see it during the day? Princess Arwen showed interest in Kerry.”
“!”
Certainly today, Arwen was blatantly pushing against Kerry.
Even with Natasha by her side of her.
“Hmm. It seems to me that Lina has a lot of interest in Kerry… What do you think?”
“…”
A friendly image of Kerry and Lina flickers in Natasha’s mind.
These days, I have many memories of the two smiling suspiciously and facing each other.
“Natasha. You must have noticed it vaguely.”
“…Seobang-nim is mine. He’s my man.”
“Nothing.”
“…”
“But look at reality. Aren’t there a lot of pretty girls around Kerry?”
Natasha looked at the group’s reflection of her in the mirror opposite her.
As far as the woman could see, there were many beautiful women gathered in one room.
Natasha has never thought that she was inferior in terms of her beauty of her, but she keeps losing her confidence.
In addition, Arwen and Lina were even princesses of a country.
For some reason, she keeps feeling shabby herself.
‘You are in conflict. Shall I stimulate it a little more?’
“Honestly, isn’t Kerry a man too? Surrounded by women of this beauty, it’s not strange to be attracted to someone else.”
“The West can’t do that.”
“Isn’t there such a thing as one in ten thousand?”
“…”
Natasha’s shoulders her drooped in rare cases.
There is a reaction. Here’s where to win. Victoria threw a move of conversion.
“Natasha. Do you want me to tell you how to make sure Kerry is your man?”
“!”
Natasha puts on a conflicted look at Victoria’s sweet temptation of her.
But she soon shook her head.
“No. I… I believe in the West.”
“…”
It was a little surprising. Now, I thought she would take the bait right away.
It was then.
A smart knock came to Natasha. There is no sound from the door.
It was a large room, so the door was far away. Is it a window then?
I looked out the window, but again no one was there. It was when Natasha was bewildered.
[Here.]
“?”
[Because it’s here. Mirror!]
It was when Natasha looked in the mirror. She was knocking herself in the mirror.
[Look at me now. Hi-Hi.]
In the mirror, another Natasha was talking to her.
“What is this…Victoria…See that? Is it magic?”
“What do you mean?”
“I don’t see that. Victoria?”
[Never show. Hi-Hi.]
“…”
[There is a reason why I came out in a hurry.]
“…”
Natasha in the mirror shouted with a serious expression.
[Quickly ask me to tell you how to make Kerry our man. Idiot!]
