39 – Loyalty to you

“then… “I will, princess.”

“Uh, go ahead and do it.”

No matter what, I can’t wait to kiss your feet. Honestly, I didn’t understand it.

Is he just saying this because he did something like that with Syria, which he hates?

Of course, it was my fault, but I had no feelings in that act and I only did it out of duty.

Although I was embarrassed, I didn’t mind kissing Yuna’s feet.

Anyway, he’s already hiding the knife for revenge. This level of humiliation was quite bearable.

Sigh-

I gently picked up Yuna’s foot.

They were long, white, pretty feet. There wasn’t even a smell.

When I slowly raised my head and looked at Yuna, I saw that she had an inexplicably happy expression on her face.

Is it a good idea to subject me to something like that? As expected, she was a scary and disgusting woman. To the point where even the betrayal of me in the past was taken for granted.

Well, since he is this kind of person, he must have shown such cruel behavior.

I once again realize her true nature, something I had forgotten for a while. And I am reminded of my purpose.

Took-

He knelt down, lowered his head, and gently placed his mouth on her foot.

The skin of her feet was soft. It was humiliating, but not unpleasant.

“… Then let’s go back. Rest in peace, princess.”

After a short kiss, I bowed my head and left her bedroom.

It was a humiliating moment, but it was also an opportunity to awaken a desire for revenge.

For some reason, I felt like I could hear Yuna’s laughter behind me.

Beryl kisses Yuna’s feet and leaves the room.

I could still feel the feel of his lips on me. His lips were slightly rough, but soft.

I unconsciously imagine what it would be like if the place where those lips met were my own.

“W-what… !”

I didn’t know why I had that thought, but Yuna immediately shook her head.

Because it was a shameless thing that had no reason to imagine.

“Syria… Crazy b*tch… ”

Instead, I think of Syria, who actually kissed him.

Even thinking about it again, she was a scary and disgusting woman. I never thought he would use treatment as an excuse to mess with his escort.

Maybe she really was seeing Ben in Beryl.

Yuuna was well aware of her past days spent under the influence of drugs, so the strange treatment was not incomprehensible.

While listening to Beryl’s story, I thought that that might actually be the case.

I knew that Syria had started taking medication because of Ben and was in pain.

But still, I couldn’t forgive her. She and her family who burned Regius and Ben and betrayed their master.

Of course, she was also the princess of Helia and Ben’s fiancee, but she was a victim. I really didn’t know anything.

I still couldn’t forgive Syria. I didn’t even want to give Beryl away to her.

rattle-

“Did you call me, princess?”

“Make sure to make an appointment with Princess Ceramide on a free day.”

She hated even face-to-face conversation, but this time she needed to be clear.

From noble mtl dot com

It was recently that I suddenly remembered that child from 10 years ago.

A boy who was the eldest son and heir to the throne of the last royal family of Regius, whom he burned with his own hands.

He was a child that my daughter really liked. I thought it was a childhood prank, but even now, 10 years later, it has become a memory that haunts my daughter.

The duke did not regret his choice, but it was impossible to see his daughter completely ruined by drug addiction.

At one point, I tried to treat my daughter’s addiction, but to no avail. Now I just have to let my daughter do what she wants. Maybe that’s the only thing a father can do.

I thought so, but for some reason, it is said that her condition has recently improved.

A while ago, he came to me in a rare state of sober mind and asked for his consent. She said she found a man she wanted to marry.

From what I know, he is the guard knight of the Four Princesses. I don’t know why yet, but it seems like my daughter has fallen for him.

Maybe it happened because the relationship between Syria and the four princesses was not good.

It may have been Syria’s attempt to take away the 4 princesses.

Whatever the cause, it didn’t matter to the duke. It would have been a good thing if my daughter could stop taking medication and face reality again.

His only daughter was more important than the four princesses. Although the duke was a blunt person, he was actually an ordinary parent who cared for his daughter.

“Meet Your Highness the First Prince and Your Highness the First Princess.”

Of course, the presence of Syria was among the reasons why his wife died a long time ago and he did not take a new wife.

If he couldn’t be a good father to his only child, how could he have a new wife and child?

It was also a consolation and atonement for his wife who left him first. The duke didn’t really want to forget her and take on a new woman.

I didn’t know if it was for her or because of my own guilt.

Perhaps it was because he no longer had any ambitions about the succession and the future of his family.

A noble of Ceramide’s level would naturally want to carry on the name, but strangely enough, the duke did not take a new wife for a long time.

Even though their only child is like that. If things continued like this, the family’s legacy was in danger of being cut off.

There were rumors of marriage between the duke and Syria from all over the place. But nothing was accepted.

But the duke still didn’t care.

The future was no longer important to me. There was no interest in hereditary succession of power.

He just wanted to end everything and feel comfortable.

“Please sit down, Duke. Long time no see. “It’s been hard to see you lately.”

“How can I wander around here and there as a subject when His Majesty is sick? “At most, I can visit His Majesty occasionally.”

“As expected, you are a duke.”

The Duke, who had not been seen for a while, visited the 1st Prince and 1st Princess.

This was partly due to an incident that had recently occurred in the kingdom, but it was also partly because it was time to move on.

“Are you two safe? “I heard that the 1st Prince recently visited the Konkuk Festival.”

“Oh, yes. On behalf of Your Majesty. “I had visited the empire before, but as the representative of the kingdom, it had a different weight.”

It was a remark that was subtly conscious of the first princess.

There are numerous royal families in Helia, but the current succession structure has been narrowed down to two.

1 prince and 1 princess.

As the eldest son, Prince 1, the eldest son of the royal family, has followed the standard course of becoming a successor.

He was currently a strong candidate for successor, and was actually ranked first in the line of succession.

However, a few years ago, the first princess began to gradually overturn the simple succession structure.

Queens in Helia’s history were rare, but not impossible.

With her outstanding resourcefulness, she brought many nobles to her side and her position increased exponentially.

The first prince was still ahead, but he could not make a rash move while the king was still alive.

The Ceramide family held the important key here.

If he gained the power of maintaining neutrality, the first prince could definitely confirm his position as successor, and the first princess was an opportunity to overturn the succession structure.

This meeting could also be seen as an extension of that fierce competition.

“You had a good experience. “It would be especially good to know the empire well.”

“We are expanding our horizons. Now, our Helia has become powerful enough to stand tall even in the West. We should stop competing in these narrow waters. “Isn’t that so?”

“That’s true, brother. “We must think of Helia’s wealth first.”

It was a remark that seemed to subtly disrespect the first princess, Era.

The intention was to point out her pranks that manipulated the kingdom’s nobility from behind the scenes in order to usurp the throne.

“However, it is true that Helia’s power cannot reach the Empire yet. “It is not easy to increase power, especially in the West, which is divided into several kingdoms.”

“Now that I think about it, I heard that the First Princess participated in the last union meeting. I think I heard that Helia has become a strong candidate for the next presidency… ”

“I was lucky. Of course, I don’t think it’s a good idea to focus too much on unity. “An active war of conquest is also an important time.”

As Era started late, she ran hard. In this way, we have established ourselves both domestically and internationally.

The growth was enough for 1st Prince, Gain, to feel a sense of crisis.

“It is exactly what it says. So, have you heard the story about the Daipson Kingdom?”

“They say it was devastated by monsters. “It was in danger because its territory was so large compared to its power, and I heard that it was eventually losing its function completely.”

“That’s right. Because of the vast territory, it won’t be much of an effort to eradicate the monsters. So many kingdoms are reluctant to step forward. In fact, there are even opinions suggesting that that area should be considered a land of monsters.”

“Of course, there are many areas of this race near the Deipson Kingdom, so there is an opinion that it will be okay.”

“what… That’s true, but my thoughts are a little different.”

The Duke’s intention was to test. Of course, deep down, I was looking into the more distant future.

They are subtly expressing their opinion that they will decide which side will give power based on this incident.

“I understand what the duke is saying. The Kingdom of Daipson is certainly an important location. To the east is a great forest, and to the north is the kingdom of the dwarves. In addition, it is a key location that connects many other ethnic groups to the East.”

Era, who was the first to realize the duke’s intention, attacked.

“That’s right. Although monsters are dangerous, the actual damage is nothing compared to war. In fact, it is a situation where it is difficult for the Empire to intervene, so this is Helia’s biggest opportunity. “Currently, Helia is the only one in the West who can afford to eradicate that many monsters.”

“indeed… It would be a great advantage to take over the land of the Deipson Kingdom. I can even see a future where empires and continents are truly divided.”

“If the royal family steps forward in this matter, Ceramide will not spare any support. Also, I think that if there is someone who has the resources to successfully achieve this conquest, Helia’s future will be eternal.”

“If the duke lends his strength, of course! You have to step forward. “You will remember the moment five years ago when we led the war against the Kingdom of Spinia to victory.”

“That was largely due to Knight Commander Mernis, brother. Please watch, Duke. “This will make it clearer.”

“hahahaha. “If the two of you put your heads together, it won’t be difficult to conquer the world.”

I will give strength to those who have made a contribution in the affairs of the Deipson Kingdom. That’s what I meant.

Now that the power of the Ceramide Duke family is the most important key, both will directly join the battle line and take command. Everything was as the duke intended.

In fact, this event determines the succession to the throne. Both the 1st Prince and the 1st Princess showed their fighting spirit.

“Oh, and the Four Princesses will also join us in this conquest.”

“… yes? “You mean Yuuna?”

“I didn’t tell you. “The person who first gave me her opinion on the conquest of the Deipson Kingdom was the Fourth Princess.”

4 princesses. Yuna.

At that name, which they never thought would come up in this situation, what struck them was an unknown sense of crisis.
