50 – Date? – 3
The anxiety that Charlotte, Serena, or Christine might cross the line was always in a small corner of my heart.
To put it in the extreme, there was nothing I could do if the three of them really committed themselves to making me their own, ignoring whatever I said.
After fighting over me and devastating the entire continent, there will be only one left.
I had no idea who the final victor would be, but one thing was certain.
Once even one of the three crossed the line, it would be impossible to make them keep that line again forever. This wasn’t speculation, it was certainty.
Fortunately, Serena, Charlotte, and Christine were still within my control.
To those three, the existence of me was absolute, and while trying to listen to me as much as possible, I tried to receive my love within the limit of not going against my heart.
Because I am afraid that I will be angry and I am afraid that I will reject myself, I can control the three that can be called the strongest on the continent.
If you usually cut me to pieces, you do it because you know that I won’t get angry with you.
However, if that love goes beyond fear and grows out of control here, what follows is an area that I cannot guarantee.
Serena, Charlotte, and Christine were the ones who could end my immortality, but at the same time, they were also the ones who could make me live forever.
Whether I’m angry or not, you can capture me and keep me whispering love to you for all eternity.
I can destroy everything in this world so that I can never see anything else, so that I can live forever in a world where there is only me and myself.
The word eternity would be an absurd delusion to other beings, but not to me.
And what am I going to do in such a moment? get angry? Even that would be taken as an expression of affection.
To a woman who had already gone mad in love, that feeling was not important at all. Rather, it was obvious that he would like it because he could see a different side of me.
It would have been better if it ended with me being locked up. There was a possibility that humans who live and breathe in this world would try to exterminate all living things, saying that they were unnecessary except for the two of us.
I didn’t want to go through that experience twice.
“Take it.”
Suddenly, the heavy pouch landed on top of my trembling hands.
The restaurant owner made an expression that he hadn’t even thought that Charlotte would even pay for it, then hurriedly knelt on the floor and bowed his head to express his gratitude with his whole body.
After that, the other employees followed the owner and bowed as hard as they could.
“Go, go, thank you! Your Majesty King Gargantua! I don’t know what to do with your castle!”
Silvery-white coins shimmered through the slightly open pockets.
It was used only in large-scale transactions between cities and towns, and it was a platinum coin that it was difficult for ordinary people to see in their lifetime. It was thrown into the bag.
It was quite unexpected considering that the food was evaluated as cheap throughout the entire meal.
“The interior was cheap, the food was poor, and even the tables and chairs were of poor quality.”
The owner’s body trembled like an aspen tree trembled at the unexpected harsh criticism. I thought he was satisfied with the fact that he even threw a platinum coin, but he was suddenly cursing at the restaurant, so it was only natural.
Furthermore, since the person making the harsh criticism was Charlotte, you might wonder if he was trying to cut his throat for that.
But Charlotte glanced in my direction and smiled lightly so that only I could see. I roughly guessed what he would say after that.
No matter how cheap the food was, in the end, the fact that he was with me seemed to be enough.
“However, I’ll just let it go this time.”
“Thank you. Lung, Your Majesty…”
The three of us left the restaurant, leaving behind the owner who thanked us with deep relief.
Perhaps it was because the most expensive dish was a course that lasted for a long time, the sun was tilting little by little in the opposite direction to the direction it had already risen.
Have you been in the restaurant for over 2 hours?
There was no one on the street. It was because Charlotte gave the lord a word in advance and emptied the streets.
As soon as the lord heard that Charlotte had come to this city, he hurriedly ran and knelt down, and Charlotte gave the lord just one command.
Let no one stand out for you.
The lord must have carried out his words so perfectly that the streets were perfectly quiet. I wondered if this was the lively city in the morning.
And perhaps even at the gates of this city, the knights are controlling the adventurers who try to enter here. So that I don’t get my hair blown away after completing the request for no reason.
Normally, adventurers would protest, but Charlotte had warned them not to stand out from their sight when they went there, so there was absolutely no one big enough to resist that decision.
It’s not like he could die if he was beaten by Charlotte, he would die. It’s just a matter of how you die.
“My lord, what do you want to do now?”
“I was originally thinking of going around the city, but well, I don’t know if there’s a place I can take the two of you.”
Although this place was large in the first place, it was not a city famous for tourism, and the place the old man had recommended was certain to be empty because of Charlotte’s orders.
More than anything else, once Charlotte joined, a normal sighting was impossible.
I would rather not know if I had been walking around with the perception-damping magic from the beginning, so there was no meaning to casting the perception-damping magic at the point of advent like this.
Moreover, the entire city must have known of Charlotte’s arrival, but what would they think if there were humans walking around in such a situation?
Serena must be boiling over that fact, but it was foreseeable when she first found out she was trying to walk around here alone with Serena.
No, it was something that had already been foreseen by the time Charlotte had heard of it after cutting off the heads of cultists and posting reports on humanoid monsters.
It was a golden opportunity to invite me to the royal palace, but there was no way I could miss that opportunity.
At least Serena bought a little grace time by pushing her authority as the first knight commander of the royal family, but it was clear that Charlotte would somehow use her hands because it was something related to me in the end.
I was just surprised that it was much faster than I thought.
“Then there is only one place to go, my dear.”
“You’re not going to say it’s a royal palace, are you?”
“Looks like you’ve been able to use mind reading like me.”
That’s because it was obvious that anyone would ask to go to the palace.
Seeing Serena growl at Charlotte like that, and Charlotte taking Serena’s momentum casually, was a familiar sight now.
After stroking their heads to stop them from fighting without getting tired of it, I thought for a moment about what to do now.
It just made me feel more comfortable doing this whenever I saw signs of a fight between the two of them.
‘… … I really have nowhere to go, what should I do?’
But no matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t come up with a suitable place. Wherever they went, those two would bite each other if they got a chance, and I was the one getting tired in the end.
However, it was impossible to return either of them. The one who was sent back is strict, so he might take out his anger.
In the end, that means going with both Serena and Charlotte, or sending both of them back, or doing something else.
The option of returning both is out of the question. It was an option that only made me feel sorry for Serena, who was looking forward to being with me in this city.
It was clear that Charlotte was probably expecting even that to some extent when she first appeared in front of me.
Due to my personality, I won’t tell you to go to either Serena or Charlotte, so if both of them fall, you’ll be able to fuck Serena.
Whatever it was, Charlotte herself was not at a loss.
‘To be precise.’
I put strength into the hand that stroked Charlotte’s hair. I don’t know how far forward and planned this is.
Of course, no matter how hard I tried, nothing worked for Charlotte. It’s just being stroked with a happy expression. Come to think of it, Serena did the same.
After standing still for a while, I suddenly thought of asking Charlotte.
Anyway, Serena will follow me wherever I go, and even when I asked her until now, she said she would follow my lead.
“Charlotte, where do you want to go? Other than the palace.”
“I don’t care where you take me.”
“So did you swear at the restaurant you just left for being so cheap?”
“You’re misunderstanding something. Because it was the place you brought me to, I only ended up criticizing it with a few words. If it wasn’t for you, I would have grabbed all the people there right away and torn them limb from limb.”
“…”
Was that what you saw From now on, I’ll just pack a lunch and say let’s enjoy nature.
