Chapter 362
TL: Zimmings
After the news spread that I had returned, invitations from each country came, and there were requests for banquets, but I merely wanted to rest.
This was because fatigue had accumulated considerably as I crossed the passage after the war with the pope.
I went into the bathtub full of warm water and moaned.
โAhhโฆโ
My muscles that were very tight are relaxed in warm water, the powdered soap released in the bathtub and the candles around it smell good, and the lemonade filled with ice maid by the maid taste both sweet and sour.
โHeaven. This is heaven.โ
Seeing me with my face completely relaxed, the maids grinned.
โShall we start the massage?โ
โPleaseโฆโฆ.โ
Linda and Dahliaโs hands were so skillful that the muscles they touched seemed to melt.
โItโs refreshingโฆโ
Yuni, who was massaging my scalp with perfume oil on my hair, stopped for a moment and said.
โHow about a snack?โ
โYesโฆโฆ.โ
The maids put chewy jelly in a beautiful crystal bowl.
The jelly, which contains green grapes, peaches, and sugar-boiled cherries, melted in my mouth as soon as it was put in.
While I was eating the jelly, Laura, the gossip monger among the maids, told interesting stories from each country.
โHwang Gyeon-ik, the chancellor of Gahong, was removed from power by King Gahong three years ago. His son, Hwang Hyun, has bad habits. Heโs trash thatโฆ Heโs like a beast.โ
โI know Hwang Hyun.โ
โYes, that Hwang Hyun sought power even after his father was pushed out. The way was to seduce a woman with power from another country. He seduced the Countess of Weltran but it turned out that she was a marriage fraudster!โ
People around me say, โGasp.โ, โHuh?!โ
โHwang Hyun also secretly have a mistress, and it turns out that the mistress is the Countessโ person!โ
Wow.
โAnd he found out that the mistress is a manโฆ!โ
Oh my..
โImagine finding out that his mistress was actually his wifeโs servantโฆ!โ
Gasp!
โThen, Hwang Hyun found out that Hwang Gyeon-ikโs lover deceived him and made a certain warriorโs son to be Hwang Gyeon-ikโs sonโฆ!โ
Wow-!
Why is the story of someone elseโs tragedy so funny?
โHereโs another thing. The Empress Dowager of Wigentra Empire has fallen in love. And itโs unrequited love.โ
โWhat!? And the emperor left it alone?โ
โThe Empress Dowager was pushed back by the Deglid and Camilla due to the war with the last God.โ
โThe Empress Dowager is really full of energy. Itโs not just love, itโs unrequited love?โ
โYes, and the person isโฆ!โ
โT-the person isโฆ?โ
I gulped and listened to Yuniโs story.
Yuni looked around and lowered her voice.
โMarquis Noanoke in our country.โ
โWhat-?!!โ
Are they talking about the chairman?
All the maids stopped their hands and opened their mouths.
Yuni nodded with a solemn look.
โThree years ago, when Neliardโs darkness struck the capital, the imperial family fled the palace. At that time, the Marquis of Noanoke must have saved her.โ
โI-is that so?โ
โThree years after that, every week, the Empress Dowagerโs letters are constantly sent to Marquis Noanoke with a poem of love.โ
โH-how interestingโฆ!โ
Itโs so much fun to hear a funny story while being served in a luxurious bath!
After taking a bath, I sat on the sofa in comfortable clothes with my body and hair dry.
The maids grabbed my hand from both sides and cut my nails, and one of them put a grape in my mouth.
โAh, itโs peaceful. Iโm happyโฆ โฆ .โ
While enjoying it, a knock was heard.
โThis is Reina.โ
โCome in.โ
Reina came in with the maids.
She was wearing a dress mixed with blue and gold accesories on a white background, also with a strange pattern engraved on the band on her shoulder.
As I stared at it, Reina said.
โItโs an asta flower. The stem was embroidered with gold, and the flower is used to color it. Itโs a symbol of the queenโs palace.โ
โAh, momโsโฆ But why are my maids still wearing Dubbledeโs maid outfits?โ
When asked, Dahlia, Yuni, and Linda smiled and exchanged gazes.
They looked at me and said,
โWe waited for our master to return to hand over the clothes to us.โ
I was a little touched and looked at the maids.
So they were wearing old maid clothes every day as if praying in hopes of my return.
โOkay. Then Iโll have to think about the design first.โ
Reina smiled and said.
โThe colors too. Each palace is divided into colors for outsiders to recognize. The colors of the queenโs palace were gold like the queenโs hair and blue like the eyes of princes and princess.โ
โWhat about dadโฆ?โ
โHis Majesty asked the same thing.โ
A clear laughter rang out in the room.
While I was at it, I moved to the table to think about the pattern.
Reinaโs brought a previously brought patterns on the table.
I asked Reina while holding a fountain pen.
โIf I choose a pattern, will all the princesses of Dubblede use this pattern?โ
โThatโs right.โ
โAhh, the responsibility is too heavy.โ fre(e)webnov(l).com
I was deep in thought, biting the tip of the fountain pen.
โItโs a pattern that lets them know who they areโฆ โฆ .โ
Contemplating, I grabbed my chin and smiled.
โThen, thatโs it.โ
***
There was dinner in the evening.
It was not a large-scale banquet to announce that I had returned, but a simple dinner with my family and some people.
My mom invited people to the castle that I would have missed.
It was the people at the hope mercenary guild, my knights, and my friends Emeline and Tri.
Emeline and Tri were at the dining room first, and as soon as Emeline saw me, she got up.
โYou, youโฆโฆ!โ
Seeing Emeline looking at me in ashtonishment, I shrugged my shoulders.
โYou, come here! You damn bitch-!โ
As soon as Emeline shouted, Tri cried and grabbed her.
โHuwaa, no way. Now sheโs a princess. Huwaa!โ
โLet go of me! Iโm going to kill her! Sheโs making me worry like this! Iโve never slept properly for 3 years!
โHuwaa!โ
Dad, my brothers, and my mom smiled and looked at Emeline, who rushed to me with Tri.
Isaac, who supported the back of his head with his hand said, โHmm.โ
โShe needs to get scolded for once. Donโt hold back, baroness.โ
As I was running away from Emeline, I stopped.
โBaroness?โ
Tri sobbed and said.
โJuliet, the princess of Mojas, fled to your country. She became a countess, and Emeline is Julietโs first vassal.โ
Emeline, who was rushing ito me, hit my back.
She grabbed my nose and shouted, โHey!โ
Ah! I raised my arms with a shout.
โEtiquette, Emeline!โ
โโฆYes. I became a noble by my own power. Not because I was my fatherโs child.โ
โSo cool!โ
โItโs sarcastic when a princess says Iโm cool, right?โ
I hugged her tightly, whether Emeline stared at me or not.
โYou have achieved your dream with your own strength.โ
โMy dream is no longer to become a nobleman.โ
โWhy?โ
โIโm only a minion of the powerful people. I want to make them my minion instead.โ
โHuh?โ
โI donโt want to take responsibility. I only want to wield power.โ
I made a click with my finger and pointed to Emeline.
โItโs mean and something that suits Dubblede. Welcome to our country.โ
Dad stifled a laugh.
โItโs a declaration that she would wield unclean power in front of me.โ
โSheโs my friend. And itโs beneficial for us to know.โ
I giggled, dragged Emeline to her seat, and sat down.
Across from it sat the Viscount Noanoke, no, the Marquis.
โThey said you became a marquis?โ
โYes. This time, I am aiming for the position of representative of the princessโs aide.โ
โFirst, Iโm not a child anymore, Iโm a princess, so I donโt just pick anyone because of my personal connections.โ
โOh, thatโs a shame.โ
โBy the way, people said your white hair is loved? How could the Empress Dowager love you?โ
Letโs converse happily on dinner! I burst into laughter.
Seria, who was sitting next to the chair, covered her mouth and laughed as if she was out of breath.
The chairman looked at Seria,
โStop it.โ
โBut, father, the Empress Dowager of the empire might become my mother-in-law. Itโs funnyโฆโ
I flinched.
โFather? Mother-in-law?โ
Then Seria raised her left hand shyly. A ring was on her ring finger.
The chairman sighed deeply.
โWho would have known that Seria would take my sonโs heart?โ
โHuh?!โ
At that moment, the door to the banquet hall opened and a gentle looking man entered.
โIt was a carriage accident, and the temple paid for it to get the spinel landfill from me.โ
Oh, so thatโs why!
The random carriage accident was strange.
โOh my godโฆ itโs Louis Noanoke.โ
โThanks to you, I have a new life. I will repay this gratitude with all my heart, princess.โ
The chairman got up from his chair and bent his knees in front of me.
โThe promise to see my son again, you finally fulfilled it.โ
โโฆItโs like a dream world, right?โ
I laughed, and the banquet hall was warm.
โBy the way, the chairman and Seria become in-laws.โ
They were always bickering like cats and mice, and their family must have a lot of fun!
I covered my mouth with both hands and smiled.
Butโฆ
Boom!
I heard a sound from outside.
I was surprised and looked at the window.
The people at the dining room were frowning as if they were in trouble.
โWhat is this sound?โ
โโฆThe devil.โ
โHuh?โ
I frowned at my fatherโs words.
Henry said,
โNeliard died, and Serga released the pillars to make your wish come true. Thatโs why all the devils were released.โ
โThen thatโsโฆโ
โItโs the 61st pillar Jagan that makes that fuss in our territory.โ
โSo what should we do? I donโt have the strength to subdue the devil any more.โ
โDonโt worry. We have guards.โ
โGuards?โ
As soon as I asked, I heard the sound of thunder and flashing outside the window.
โYouโre always bothering me,!โ
And who appeared wasโฆ
โYou hardly let me rest.โ
It was Pur and Boone.
Chapter 363
TL: Zimmings
โI will take revenge by annihilating Sergaโs family who has imprisoned me- ahh!โ
As soon as the devil Jagan cried out, Purโs lightning struck him.
โHeโs crazy.โ
When Pur laughed, Bune nodded.
Jagan said,
โArenโt you devils like me? Why are you on the side of humans?โ
โWhatโs the difference between humans and devils?โ
When Pur asked with a puzzled expression, Jagan flinched.
โWeโre mighty power, a life that is not bound by timeโฆ We can live forever, so letโs help each otherโฆ!โ
Boone looked at Jagan.
โIt is the pillar that has made us live forever. Therefore, the pledge was both our shackle and protective gear. Think about it. When we were in ancient times, there were pioneers who fell asleep even if they were not killed by Agareth.โ
โWhat?โ
โWe who escape from the pledge can live eternal life, but under special conditions, we can die.โ
โWhat what what?!โ
Pur pointed at something hanging on Dubbledeโs castle.
โIt was left behind by those who invaded Dubblede for the same reason as you.โ
โThen theyโฆโ
โI wonโt tell you where they went. Think about whether it will be the underworld or not.โ
โโฆโฆ!โ
โBoone!โ
When Pur shouted, Boone closed his eyes.
A huge number of ghost soldiers came out of the black smokes.
Jagan gulped seeing it.
While looking around anxiously, he shouted, โUgh!โ
โToday doesnโt seem like the right time, so Iโll go back!โ
Then he disappeared.
I clung to the window and blinked.
Pur and Boone turned their heads as if things were settled, but saw me and shouted.
โYou, you-!โ
โChildโฆโ.
They moved at once and entered the banquet hall.
Pur said, who was looking at me with misty eyes.
โYou bad girl. It takes three years to get through one passage! You donโt know how long Iโve waited!โ
โI missed you.โ
I stared blankly at the two crying and muttered.
โJust nowโฆโฆ.โ
โWhat?โ
โHmm?โ
โJust nowโฆ you looked awesome!โ
โChildโฆโ
Boone grew pale, and Pur smiled.
โWe do. Although Iโm just saying the same thing Storas and Pymon.โ
I giggled and hugged the two of them.
โOh, but what about the other devils?โ
โBaal is traveling to watch over the devils who have been freed from their pledge and have become the supreme power, Storas is in the devil realm. He come see Dubblede from time to time. Meanwhile Pymon is in Waynes, when he was a pioneer his last name was Waynes, and now he seems to like the music of the Waynes people.โ
At Purโs words, I nodded.
โAre there any devils left in the devil realm?โ
โMost of them remain in the devil realm. To protect the territory.โ
Pur further explained.
โWhile we were trapped in the pledge, the only pleasure we could enjoy was fighting. War between devils is like a sport.โ
And he said, โWeโre not going to die anyway.โ and shrugged his shoulders.
โYou could die now.โ
โWhen the conditions are met. But we still donโt get complete death in the devil realm. Perhaps thatโs the biggest reason why they didnโt leave the devil realm, because theyโre afraid of dying.โ
โThe devils are scaryโฆโ
โOf course. When we die, we donโt reincarnate like humans. Itโs completely futile. Anywaysโฆโ
Pur, who was staring at me, said,
โNice to see you again. white-haired kid.โ
[White-haired kid.]
[Pur teases me again! Serga!]
[Shh, Shh!]
It was my ancient nickname.
โI see. He was released from his pledge and regained his memory.โ
I stroked Purโs back who was shivering softly.
My motherโs voice came from behind me.
โItโs nice to meet you again. Pur.โ
โโฆLisette.โ
โYou finally meet the white-haired kid that you missed so much.โ
โH-hey! Everything your mother said is a lie. Got it?โ
I said, โHmm.โ then he groaned and laughed out loud.
โIn ancient times, you bothered me so much, but in fact, I love your company, Pur.โ
โA, ah!โ
It was then.
โAw, heโs shy-!โ
The familiar voice was heard.
โHuh?โ
Chulsoo, dressed in Dubbledeโs magistrateโs robe, was pointing at Pur and laughing.
โWhatโs the fuss? Why is Chul-soo wearing a magistrateโs robes?โ
I looked around my family as I was wondering what happened, and Boone said.
โCheol-soo is now part of the family.โ
โRight, Chul-soo was the soul that other devils shoved to Boone.โ
โBe quiet โฆ master!โ
Cheol-soo trembled and said,
โMasterโฆ Iโm now a first-class administrator who got huge promotions during my masterโs absence.โ
Then, he clenched his fists tightly, as if overjoyed, and raised his hands.
โI become a civil servantโฆ! I became a civil servant without preparing for a hellish civil servant examโฆ!โ
I donโt know what it is, but he looks incredibly happy, so I replied.
โWell, yes, good jobโฆโ
Chul-soo said that he works in the culture department. He said that he was proud of himself.
โThe culture department isโฆ Itโs to incorporate the advantages of the culture of the world that I know into this country, and by the way, Iโm also working in the developmenst. My first work is bubble tea, which sells well. Do you know how many tourists come here to drink bubble teaโฆโฆ?!โ
โWhy food? Isnโt there something bigger?โ
โI want something bigger too, butโฆโ
Isaac said.
โWe were also looking forward to something big when we give him a seat. But, they canโt make it.โ
โHuh?โ
โHe only said that thereโs such a machine, but he doesnโt know how to make it. Veronica and Wale are suffering because of the man who only talked.โ
Wale, who was eating, raised his hand when his name was mentioned.
โI am the deputy director of the developing country.โ
โYouโre not exiled?โ
โIโm a victim as well. I have nothing to be persecuted for. Iโve lived a good life.โ
โYes, because youโre surprisingly clean in a strange wayโฆโ
โMy father and Trigon also moved here together. They want to meet the lady, no, princess.โ
While talking to Wale, Chul-soo took his business card out of his pocket, saying he had also made a business card and was excited again.
It looks like heโs very happy to get a job.
I tilted my head.
โIโve lost my power now, but where do the devils get their power from?โ
Boone said.
โWe have some powers left. Sometimes borrowing human power.โ
โHuman power?โ
โThe temple. If we use our power for humans, humans will reward us with faith.โ
โAh, so there was a temple.โ
โUh-huh,โ Pur said.
โNo devil can ever be stronger than us. Even if Agareth comes back alive, he wonโt be able to defeat us. How can they overcome us, who have become strong by receiving this much faith?โ
โBut weโre worse than Baal.โ
โBaal travels not only this country, but the world, so thereโs nothing we can do about it!โ
People laughed when they saw Pur stomping on his feet.
I didnโt say thank you to them for still being by my side.
We will be together for a very long time, so the moment to repay them will come.
โAh, Iโm happy.โ
Very much, Serga.
***
Since then, a few days have passed. I had fun taking a walk with my family, eating with my colleagues, and drinking tea.
This life is so perfect, I can wake up without worrying about anything.
Yesterday, I fell asleep late at night without much thought while playing with Emeline, Tri, Boone, and Pur.
โโฆcess.โ
โโฆโฆ.โ
โPrincess!โ
I rubbed my eyes and opened my eyes at the voice calling me.
โI donโt want to eat breakfastโฆโฆโ
โItโs not breakfast anymore, itโs lunchtime. No, thatโs not the problem-!โ
Yuni and Dahlia were fussing from both sides.
I groaned and got up.
โWhat is itโฆ?โ
โPeople that do not think their lives are precious came to the castle, no, no, I mean guestsโฆ!โ
โGuests?โ
โYes, there are a lot of guests!โ
Who?
They said they wouldnโt invite people from other countries for a while?
I got up, washed up, changed my clothes, and left the room.
My palace is currently still under construction.
Although theyโre currently building a palace after emptying the surrounding site, I still stayed in my room.
So, if I just go down the stairs, I will come to the courtyard, and I can seeโฆ
โDid you get a permit from the empire?โ
โItโs you.โ
โHey, I am now a member of the Gahong noble family.โ
โYes, letโs wait and see how long your Odis connections will carry you.โ
It was Archduke Locard son, Lionel and Hayton Vallua.
โโฆWhat are you doing here?โ
The men who were staring at each other heard my voice and turned their heads in a hurry.
โLeblaine.โ
โโฆLeblaine.โ
I looked at the two of them with amazement.
โDidnโt we say we wonโt invite guests?โ
Hayton said,
โI didnโt come as a guest.โ
โIf youโre not a guest, what-โ
Then, Lionel shouted with a huge bouquet of flowers.
โLionel Camilla Locard, the first son of Archduke Locard of Wigentra Empire, officially proposes to Leblaine Lisette Dubblede, the princess of the Dubblede Kingdom.โ
What?
While I was frozen for a while, Hayton also held out a bouquet of flowers made of red roses.
โHayton, head of state of Gahong. Princess, please marry me.โ
As soon as Hayton finished speaking, the trumpet blew.
โLeblaine, Leblaine!โ
East, who came in with Pymon, presented me with a bonquet of bright yellow tulips.
โIโm East Rogen Lestram Waynes, Prince of Waynes. Marry me.โ
And,
โLooks like Iโm one step late.โ
Jin, who had led those wearing the robes of the Athar Tribe, presented a bouquet of wildflowers.
โThe eldest grandson of Athar Tribeโs leader, Jin. Princessโฆโ
โโฆOh, really, donโt do it.โ
Jin smiled and continued.
โMarry me and letโs dream of exciting future together.โ
After that, there was fuss among the guests.
โฆโฆand even the devils joined in.
Storas pushed the humans out and breathed heavily.
โNo matter what, I canโt give up.โ
โCome on!โ
โI know you donโt like me. I know whoโs on your mind.โ
โShut that mouth.โ
โStill, I like you. Even if it hurts, I will take care of you by your side.โ
โAh, please!โ
โTake my hand, Leblaine.โ
And the last one who appeared wasโฆ
The person who looks at me with eyes filled with warmthโฆโฆ.
