Chapter 169 – Chapter 169 ― Do Goddess (2)
Episode 169 ― Work Goddess (2)
Moment.
A smile bloomed on the emperor’s face.
It felt like a bright light was hitting his face.
The two women involuntarily held their breath.
Klopp.
Is it Lisa? Diovane.
The sound of someone swallowing was audible.
The two, who seemed to have stopped breathing, heard Roan’s voice and woke up as if waking from a dream.
“Good. On the way to the office go with me.”
Lisa made an envious expression,
A smile came to Diobe’s face.
The two with crossed faces exchanged eye contact and walked away.
“Where have you been?”
Diobe is dressed in street clothes.
The clothes worn underneath were tight-fitting suits for female knights.
It is a suit tailored to the body so as not to interfere with movement for activeness. Thanks to this, Diove’s explosive breasts and hips were unreservedly exposed.
What hides such a dangerous body is a luxurious leather coat. It was given to the knights of the castle, and the crest unique to Roan was embroidered on the outside.
“Yes. The guild still had work to do.”
“It seems I called you too suddenly. Sorry for the rush. If you need a little leeway…”
“It’s okay! Your majesty!”
Roan, slightly startled by her resolute words, looked at Diove with her round eyes.
Surprised by my voice, Diobe looked at the emperor with surprised eyes and bowed her head.
Apparently, Diove couldn’t control her mind.
Roan let out a smile.
“Process… No problem. Do not worry.”
“Okay.”
Diove felt her heart about to explode.
Isn’t it because of these clothes that are tight for no reason? Maybe.
When she was a knight,
These clothes were the worst.
Chest heavy and difficult to move.
This kind of outfit that emphasized it was just disgusting. People passing by — especially men staring blankly at these breasts — seems to make me dumb too.
For the same reason, she hated wearing dresses.
So, if she was a noble lady, she would have expected to wait.
Wearing a tunic like a boy. Wearing a knight’s suit.
But at some point she wanted to get his attention. Whether it was her mistake or a dream, Diobe’s greed grew even bigger after her kiss that day, when she resents even her vague memory.
‘Wouldn’t it be too embarrassing…’
It was the training uniform that I wore today after thinking about it dozens of times.
Clothes often worn by knights who roam the castle. It’s comfortable and doesn’t interfere with movement, so it’s worn by everyone from goblins to trolls.
Even so, Diove knew that he would be sexual enough to point fingers at him if he wore it.
However, the aesthetic sense of demons is slightly different from that of humans.
Demons living in harmony with various races in so many different body shapes. There were some humanoid demons who gave Diobe a look of admiration, but most of them just thought of Diobe as a ‘wonderful human’ and passed by.
Rather, there were many people who admired her training uniform with the emperor’s pattern on it, not her substance.
Diobe felt liberated.
And she felt the emperor’s gaze on her dress, on her chest, even for a moment, and Diove felt her whole body soar as if she were about to fall.
‘This feeling… Strange. Why?’
In her haze she could not forget the touch of her lips she felt.
Was the kiss really that great?
The sound of my heart pounding was so loud that I was afraid that even His Majesty, who had that relaxed and charming expression on his face, might hear it.
So Roan and Diobe walked down the aisle alone.
Accepting greetings from servants who occasionally come across them, Roan and Diobe arrived at the office.
Diobe, who was silent with the chief secretary, whom he had already known, closed the office door.
“So, what’s the matter?”
It was a conversation I had been simulating all day.
Diove replied, taking care not to tremble in her voice.
“I would like to discuss the schedule for the welcome ceremony in three days.”
“It already happened.”
Roan’s expression as he brushed his hair was momentarily tired.
“I didn’t know it would be such a hassle.”
“Isn’t it a big slant for the country?”
Diobe smiled lightly.
When she recalls her wedding in the distant past, only bad memories remain of her, but at least she had no such memories of the emperor she adored.
However, even if she is an indefatigable iron-blooded emperor, it seems fitting that a wedding is a big deal.
“Hmm. Still, Elenier must have wanted to play grandly. She tries to fit in as best she can.”
Diove had seen how Roan treated Erenir by her side for years.
The sudden change of attitude of the emperor was miraculous,
It must have been a happy thing for Erenier.
Because she, as a woman like her, had been neglected by Roan to the point of feeling sad.
I didn’t have any feelings at the time.
Now that she thinks about it, how happy was this emperor’s change for her?
“You are right. How will our security forces prepare for that day? I asked Minoreus-sama, but the troops under his direct command were told to follow His Majesty’s orders.”
“We are still in the process of hiring people for the security guard. Since it is not in shape, it will be difficult to go abroad. You can train in the morning and participate in the festival like everyone else.”
“Rest… Is it?”
“Hmm.”
Roan nodded his head.
The ‘police squad’ under the direct control of the emperor attracted more attention than Roan expected.
Even though the central knights guarding the imperial palace stood tall, a new organization was created. Besides, one of the instructors is human, and one is a former baron who was imprisoned in the castle after his title was forfeited after causing a disturbance at the last New Year’s party.
It was right after the emperor dropped a bomb to attract humans to the country at a meeting the other day.
Unlike local lords who regarded humans as enemies or targets to be eaten, the Basel officials who had already spent time with humans were one step ahead.
They guessed what this security guard was for, and they hurriedly began to shove their families in.
Literally, it’s a direct unit.
Perhaps more than the Central Knights, it was a golden opportunity to get closer to the emperor while receiving direct orders.
As expected by Roan and Diobe, not ordinary demons who had the armed forces but couldn’t seize the opportunity, but low-level, rarely even mid-level nobles began to apply for the police force.
After all, half of the security guards recruited in the first round were nobles. Most of the other half included ordinary demons without government posts or titles, and a very small number of captive humans.
“Originally, after rolling hard, we took a short break together, ate delicious food, and had a drink… So we can get to know each other better.”
Because it is composed of so many layers,
Of course, mixing with each other became a challenge.
It seems that it was surprising to the demons that several sturdy humans were mixed in the team, but having humans together would be of great help when actually doing activities later on.
So, unexpectedly, the demons began to approach the humans in the police force intimately.
It was an unexpected pure function.
“Now that it hasn’t been a week since we ate together, we will need time to get to know each other.”
“I will. Thank you.”
“In the meantime, take a break too. After coming back from the Eastern Emperor, you haven’t even rested properly, have you?”
Diobe, who was stunned for a moment, lowered her gaze.
“Yes… , Hmm… I am managing myself. Your majesty.”
“If you do that, the other members of the police force will probably suffer.”
It wasn’t something that Roan, who always made the secretary in charge cry because he came home late every time.
Diobe swallowed a laugh inwardly.
“Yes. All right. Your majesty.”
“Is anything else okay? Both you and humans.”
“Yes. It’s okay. Like me, the people who decided to join the security forces were people who lived while using their bodies. I already have experience with demons. I think I will be able to adapt quickly.”
“Hmm.”
Roan, who nodded in satisfaction, suddenly looked at Diobe and asked.
“Do you serve God?”
It was a sudden question.
Diove quietly nodded her head.
“Yes. That’s right.”
“Who is the god you follow?”
“Goddess Laurecia.”
Diove, who had barely swallowed her words as she inadvertently tried to say that she was the main god, simply put the name of her goddess in her mouth.
“Most people from Merde follow Goddess Laurecia, the goddess of life.”
“Then, wasn’t it uncomfortable here?”
In response to Roan’s twinkling eyes,
Diobe, who was embarrassed for a moment, read between the lines of her belatedly.
“Ah. Is it a word of worship? It’s okay. The article… It was natural for me to be on the front line or in a battle, so I thought it was only natural that I couldn’t go to church at any time. Fortunately, after Helen came, I was able to go to confession.”
“Then what about the other humans?”
“Ah…”
Diove remembered the humans she cared for.
“Since they were in a position to become prisoners of war, most of them never even dreamed of worshiping. Maybe because the demons are unfamiliar with it.”
“Hmm. Okay.”
Roan rested his chin on one of his arms.
He seemed to be lost in thought with a drowsy expression.
The sunlight coming through the office window broke and landed on Roan’s long eyelashes.
The shadow cast by the eyelashes was so beautiful that Diobe was momentarily mesmerized.
“… Ove.”
“Hot, yes!”
In the voice that sounds faint,
Diove was stunned as if she had been struck by lightning, and she replied angrily.
‘Am I in love?’
A blush appeared on both Diobe’s cheeks.
“What would it be like if Helen could attend the service here?”
“Are you Helen?”
Dio Vega widened her eyes.
It was an unexpected proposal that would come from a demon who was reluctant to religion.
Diove belatedly noticed, but her captives looked at her Helen and called her ‘Saint’.
The ‘saint’ who appeared after she came to Evirzio, she was told that she traveled all over Merde, helping the needy and protecting the unjust.
Because such a saintess believed and followed her, there were quite a few who finally had her faith in the emperor. However, with the emperor’s permission, if her saintess could attend the worship service in person…
“There will be a lot of people who are very happy. Your majesty.”
“Then shall we try?”
“Yes?”
The recent emperor was not only good at throwing unexpected words, but also had great action.
Yes, like the kiss of the day…
‘Why do you keep falling into that place!’
Diobe bit his lip.
“There will be more people in the future. If you can’t do the things you normally could do at Merde and feel uncomfortable there, it’s probably going to be hard to call them. Isn’t it?”
Perhaps, if Your Majesty showed his face once, many women would cross the border just for that.
Diove recalled his words, whether he was joking or serious, and nodded his head with a smile.
“Thank you for your deep consideration. Your majesty.”
**
And indeed, as he said, the service was held right on the next holiday.
At the service presided over by Helen, so many humans gathered that it could be said that most of them.
What was surprising was that
The fact that there were demons sitting in the back with embarrassed faces than I thought.
Most of them were scholar-oriented demons who had mastered magic and had academic zeal.
And their expressions changed to surprise and doubt when they saw the emperor sitting in the front.
‘Why, His Majesty the Emperor is over there?’
‘Hey, I’m glad. I should tell my wife that it’s okay since she also had His Majesty.’
Rather, humans were not surprised.
Because Helen and Diobe had already said that this worship was permitted by the demon emperor.
Around the time when the Demons were first gaining meaningful experience about the worship procedures of the Laurecia Church.
Helen, who finished her sermon with her calm face, suddenly introduced the Emperor.
“Today’s meaningful event was prepared by His Majesty the Emperor. I would like you to offer a prayer of thanks to Her Majesty and to the Goddess who made it possible for everyone to gather here.”
The words of the saintess are equal to or higher than those of the Pope even in Merde.
All the humans gathered here nodded their heads as they listened to her words slightly smeared with ‘charisma’.
The Demon King’s expression was still relaxed, but
Roan was a little taken aback.
‘Oops, all of a sudden.’
At Helen’s words, many people shouted thanks to the emperor or bowed their heads in prayer.
And that moment.
“Oooh!”
“Miracle!”
A lie happened.
