Taming Her Highness the Princess

34 – Between misunderstanding and truth (2)

The atmosphere suddenly becomes chilly and takes your breath away. If someone else had threatened him by saying it was an order, he would have snorted.

An empire is a superpower in name and reality that controls nearly half of the continent. Irea was the direct blood relative of the emperor who commanded such a mighty nation.

Although she usually laughs a lot and is somewhat clumsy, the woman in front of her is an imperial princess that no one can deny, and is a powerful person who can easily get rid of a single person.

She was so, no matter how rad yes she was, she couldn’t go out unattended. It is said that in order to preserve her life, she must at least pretend to listen to Ireah.

‘But… ….’

She couldn’t seem to be pleased with Ireah, who had been threatening people without any proof and not enough to suspect people based on her assumptions.

It was like adding firewood to the stale embers of Radne’s resentment against her empire. Radne, who cleared her mind by taking a deep breath, looked up at her Irea without losing her momentum.

“What is the reason?”

“Why?”

“Yes. Tell me why I shouldn’t like the professor.”

Tell me why? Irea, who did not expect Radne to come out like this, broke into a cold sweat. She couldn’t help but be embarrassed to confess her love for her professor to someone else.

But since she’s come this far, she can’t be shy. Irea placed her hand on her own chest in her determination to protect her professor from her radne.

“I’ll be honest. As you may know, I like professors. From my point of view, your actions can’t help but be suspicious.”

“Doubt?”

Irea nodded her head.

“You clearly said you had no rational interest in the professor. But now? Do you think it’s normal to live in the professor’s mansion and help out with his work? If you genuinely yearned for the professor’s magical knowledge, you could have arranged accommodation elsewhere!”

It’s a misunderstanding. That’s a ridiculous misunderstanding. Radne had no desire to live in the same mansion as Jenial, who had no luck at all.

But Jenny Earl found out that Radne was Mine, and she only let her live in the mansion for the purpose of surveillance to make sure she didn’t do anything stupid.

However, he could not openly confess the fact. The moment he confessed to the imperial princess that he was a demon, it was like strangling her himself.

“That… ….”

It was an outlier. I keep my mouth shut because I know that no excuses will work. Ironically, from that appearance, Irea became convinced of her own thoughts.

“As expected, you stayed here to seduce the professor. Yes?”

Radne let out a long sigh and closed her eyes. She couldn’t clear up the misunderstanding. Aside from the fact that Ireah thought she was strange, she was dumbfounded because she was blaming her with nonsense from earlier.

“Okay. Let’s say I’m left here to seduce the professor, as you said after yielding a hundred times. But what about you? What kind of relationship do you have with the professor to try to control my emotions?”

“What kind of relationship…… I bet you don’t know that the professor and I are related by the relationship between the ruler and the god.”

“So? What did that mean?”

Radne’s cold eyes stare at Irea’s embarrassed face.

“You are nothing to the professor except for your relationship with the king and god. Have you ever thought about As for whether the professor will remain by your side even if you are not the imperial princess.”

Irea’s fingertips tremble at Radne’s sharp point.

“Except for the lineage of the imperial princess, you are nothing more than a foolish woman. It looks nice, but does a professor really choose a person to date based on a person’s appearance?”

Irea bit her teeth. That’s why Radne was throwing out facts that she was vaguely thinking about but she didn’t want to admit.

“If you are going to pretend to be a lover, at least do it after getting a confirmation from the professor. There’s nothing more disrespectful than meddling with other people when they’re not related.”

Irea’s gaze goes down. Light water formed around her eyes, as she realized her own situation, she seemed to be saddened by something.

I wondered if her words were a bit harsh, but it was Lee Leah who first argued with her, so she did it on her own. Radne, feeling that she had nothing more to say, let out a low sigh and turned away.

“I…… !”

When she hadn’t walked a few steps, a mournful voice came from behind her. Either way, Radne continued her stride.

“I will definitely win the professor’s heart before you do!”

It was Irea’s own declaration of war, but Radne wasn’t interested. Radne, frowning at him in annoyance, turned the corner of his hallway and walked towards her room.

Thanks to that, Irea was left alone in the hallway and was just cleaning up her sorrowful heart. It was not easy to stay sane as every single word Radne spat out turned into a dagger and flew away.

‘Wrong…… The professor values me.’

Even though he was so determined in his heart, he couldn’t tell whether the professor valued himself as the princess or as a single woman.

The more you think about it, the more you fall into the pit. It was as if he had stepped into a misty swamp, and everything was so muddy that he couldn’t judge anything with certainty.

Kikik─

In the meantime, I hear the sound of the office door opening. Ireah, not wanting to show Jenny Earl this scornful side, hastily wiped her eyes.

Coming out into the hallway, Jeniel closed the door and looked away, but was unknowingly startled. It was only natural that he was embarrassed to see the imperial princess suddenly standing in the hallway.

“…… Majesty?”

When she asked cautiously, Ireah let out a long breath and turned her body to smile. Seeing her smiling, hiding all her depressed looks, made the world bright.

However, somehow, I can see that her complexion is darkened. Jennie Earl was puzzled, but since she didn’t know the inside story, he didn’t bother to ask the question.

“How is Your Highness here? Without telling you in advance.”

“Eheh…… I came here to surprise the professor. I don’t think I’m too surprised.”

“It wasn’t revealed through his expression, but I was very surprised. More than that, is her body okay?”

“Of course it’s fine. If it wasn’t okay, I wouldn’t have come to see the professor.”

“Then I’m glad. But is there any reason why Your Highness didn’t bother to call me to Yeonhwa Palace and came to visit me directly?”

Ireah’s face turns strangely red when she is asked what her true purpose is. When she tried to tell her reason for coming to the mansion, her shame was moved.

But she has to talk. If she does not move forward, she will end up in a state of no relationship, as Radne said.

For Irea, who wanted to get closer to Jennie Earl, she couldn’t accept that. That’s why Irea mustered up her courage and licked her lips.

“…… She wants to go to the city with the professor.”

After she said it, Irea wanted to groan. Her heart was in a hurry, she skipped the rest of the excuses she had conceived and spoke only of her true intentions.

Recognizing her mistake, Irea belatedly let out a clearing of her throat. Jenny Earl is trying to hide his true feelings before talking to him.

“Is it because I want to experience the life of the subjects with my own body? In order to be a good leader, you need to know for sure what your subjects are doing, right? I’m saying this in case you misunderstand, but I also got permission from my father. Of course, my suggestion could be too sudden. However, because the professor had granted my wish the other day…….”

It’s ruined. Any way you look at it, it was gibberish. I was worried that Jeniel would look at me like an idiot, but fortunately, no such misfortune happened.

“Looking back at the lives of the subjects…… That’s a really smart idea. As Your Highness’ teacher, I can’t help but praise him.”

“Oh, huh?”

From noble mtl dot com

Irea, who did not know that Jenial would so willingly allow it, made a rather dumbfounded face. But when he realized that things had worked out, he straightened his chest with great force.

“Yeah, it’s me.”

The way he gets puffed up with just one compliment is snarky, but it feels a little cute. In his honest feelings, he was reluctant to take Irea around the island, but he couldn’t refuse.

Jenial was not the only one who had a hard time preparing for the funeral service. It is clear that Irea must have been several times more difficult than Jeniel preparing for the class.

Irea, who had recovered her body after a difficult evaluation after the previous evaluation, wanted to go to the city to play. Jenny Earl wasn’t cold-blooded enough to reject it with a single stroke, so he decided to go along with the foolishness.

“Then I will prepare briefly. Could Your Highness go outside first and wait?”

Ireah, whose expression brightened, nodded her head lightly. She turned around and moved her steps, and Irea turned the corner of her hallway, and a sudden thought struck her and she slipped her face across the corner.

“Hey, how long do I have to wait?”

Even though His Majesty’s father allowed us to go out, the curfew is clear. It was a question she asked because if she didn’t get out soon, she would have less time to spend with Jenny Earl.

For some reason, she looks like a puppy waiting for her owner to go for a walk. Jenny Earl, who let out a low laugh, looked at her Irea and said softly.

“I’m trying to bring the staff I received from Your Highness, so it won’t take long.”

Only then did Irea nod her head and move on. Though she thinks time and time again, she was a truly easy-going woman.

Gathering his cane, Jeniel went down to the first floor of the mansion and hesitated while trying to go outside. It was because Ruinel was watching the servants in front of the entrance.

With a book in her arms, her doubts are multiplied. Feeling her presence, Louis Nell turned to Jennie Earl as she approached, using her cane to touch her floor.

“Ah! You are the professor. I was waiting.”

“You waited for me? Why?”

“That is… ….”

Ruinel, who looked around and confirmed that there was no servant nearby, spoke cautiously.

“Professor, I don’t know if you know it, but I feel a lot of gratitude to you. It’s because His Highness has shown that she is trying to do her best in everything since meeting the professor. I am very happy that you have shown more than I expected in this preliminary meeting.”

“Ruinel. I was just doing my part.”

“Isn’t it easy to be faithful to your role? So, in order to repay the kindness I received from the professor, after much thought, I was able to secretly bring in a book.”

A book? Come to think of it, why do I have a book? When he started to feel uneasy, Ruinel held out the book he was holding in his arms.

“Didn’t your sister tell you that she was going through puberty belatedly? As she goes through puberty, she will become more interested in her clarity and her relationship with the opposite s*x will increase, so why don’t we give this to her sister as a last resort.”

The mind is imaginary. Her mind is imaginary…… The title of the book Ruinel handed over was “s*xual Desire Resolved Based on Proper s*xual Culture.”

It looked like a book that even minors could read, but looking at the title, it seemed like the content would never be light.

To give that book as a gift to her little sister, who still harbors some kind of misunderstanding about her? It wasn’t much different from telling her to commit suicide by sticking her nose in the water on her plate.

Nevertheless, Louis Nell’s expression is so serious that it makes her harsh words unbearable. She thought that if there were clear-eyed madmen, she might be the Ruinel in front of her.

“Thank you for your heart, but… ….”

Whatever she was, sincerity was sincerity. Jenial, who couldn’t openly refuse, spoke in a roundabout way so that it could be easily understood.

“If I give it myself, it will look strange, so I won’t accept it.”

“Ah. Maybe not. All right.”

Louis Nell seemed to understand her refusal, so Jennie Earl let go and opened the front door. Even in her dreams, she did not know that Ruinel had interpreted those words as ‘give it to me’.
