Chapter 171 – Chapter 171 ― Work Goddess (4)
Episode 171 ― Work Goddess (4)
Eleanor entered.
Frontline hero.
Great wizard.
And the being who will become the empress who leads the demons.
The welcome ceremony felt like the eve of the emperor’s wedding a week later.
On a warm spring day, decorative flowers made of colored paper are hung all over the sunny streets.
The gloomy streets of Basel were lit up with white cloth decorated here and there.
Roan was the one who greeted Elenia’s carriage at the main gate of the imperial castle, amidst the pollen scattered by the demons.
“What do I do? I think I’m going to pass out♡”
“No.”
Roan playfully replied as she reached out her hand toward Erenia, who was getting off the carriage.
As soon as their hands met, great cheers rang out. At the sound of the explosion, Erenia shrugged her shoulders, and Roan smiled leisurely and waved her hand at the people.
“It must be hard to finish organizing your luggage.”
“It’s okay♡ I have a lot of time♡ Because this is my house now.”
Being a castle hostess is not an easy task.
From decorating the room
The decoration and atmosphere inside and outside the castle.
Furthermore, her breath will work even on the people who will fill the castle.
Since it is a castle that was touched by the former empress, it will be after she gets married that she will change the interior, but it is already difficult for her to tidy up the room she will enter as the empress.
Besides, Elenir is a mage.
Moving things from her lab is twice as hard as decorating one of her bedrooms. Because the wizard’s laboratory must be managed by the wizard himself.
“Who gave you the time?”
When Roan asked with her eyes wide open, Erenia, who had been staring blankly at Roan for a moment, flinched. Dyeing her face red.
“No, Roan, in moderation… ♡”
“I can’t yield. Time is still running out.”
[Message: Timeout — 268:05:23:85]
Even now, time continues to flow.
The ladies-in-waiting, who had no reason to know what was going on, laughed under their breath, but Roan was serious.
“This is such a big deal♡”
Sudden change.
Literally, Roan suddenly changed.
Roan was a wonderful fiancé in the past, but now Roan is truly the best man.
He is a strong swordsman, an emperor who makes wise decisions, and has become a warm person to those around him.
And the surroundings include several women who shared Roan’s bedroom.
“Eleanor. I will reduce it.”
Grünent bowed her head.
It is not uncommon for a concubine to enter a castle without an empress first.
No matter how important political solidarity is, no one wants to marry off her daughter to someone who has a concubine. Because it makes the family look ridiculous.
Conversely, there is no concubinage in the presence of her fiancée. A concubine is always next to a concubine.
Grünent’s case, however, was very peculiar.
She was a prisoner, and if she did not become her concubine, it would be difficult for her to be recognized in the society of her demons, and furthermore, it would be difficult to insist on a truce.
Because of that situation, Grunent bought her even more. To give the impression that she is not encroaching on the already decided place of cronyism.
Erennier could understand that.
“Grünent. Thank you. Thank you for taking care of Roan in the meantime.”
“It is the right thing to do. Mr. Eleanor. Don’t talk like that.”
Even after Roan and Grünent became close, they didn’t move the room to the center of the inner palace and stayed in the tower, which was still useful for those who were being watched.
From the contents of dragonfly service that Grünent had discussed in a letter.
And the fact that she had absolutely no involvement in the management of the castle.
Nevertheless.
It couldn’t be helped that Elenia’s heart toward Grunent became black.
While she was on the front line, she was a woman who devoted herself to Roan before herself.
She wasn’t abandoned after spending a day like other humans, but someone who found a stable place.
Someone who uses her smart brain to establish her own position.
‘If it’s like this, it won’t work.’
Ernear tried to smile brighter to hide her feelings.
Her fingers involuntarily touched her necklace hanging from the front.
She said, “I want her to help Eleanor like she did to me in the future. Grünent.”
“Don’t worry. Your majesty. I will do my best so that there is no inconvenience for Ereneer-sama to stay in her castle.”
Grünent is in charge of the upper tier and is already acquainted with Schikwiena and other small meetings.
Since she belongs to the faction of the great lord, she is different from Erenier, who is relatively distant from the nobles who came from officials.
Grünent has been living in the castle for ten months already. She is close not only to humans but also to her demon servants.
A noble archmage, not the daughter of a high lord, but a prisoner-born concubine. Not to mention the humans who worked in her castle, even her demon servants felt close to Grunent.
The information power of the great lord is the information power of Elenir. That’s why Erennier knew that her Grünent’s connections were at a level that could not be ignored.
As the emperor proclaimed not long ago, if she trades with other human countries, her connections will shine even more.
‘I need to calm down.’
Erenia lightly bit her lip.
She herself will soon become empress.
She is the closest person to the Emperor.
As per your father’s wish,
According to my wishes
She is able to welcome Roan as her lifelong partner.
‘But why do I feel like I’m behind?’
Each time Roan met Grunent’s eyes for a moment and smiled at each other.
Or whenever her human priest by her side spies on her roan, or when her forest sprite looks at her roan and blushes at her.
Erenia had to do her best to calm her emotions boiling inside her.
Lunch, the official welcome ceremony, was a banquet with the Emperor, the Grand Duke of Darkness, and Elenia, along with the castle officials and servants.
As soon as her meal was over, she hurried to her empress’ bedroom, which was to become her own.
It’s across from Roan’s bedroom.
The first construction she did while reorganizing the structure of her room even before Erenia entered the castle,
Her job was to create a space to store and hide her collection.
“… No. 2.”
Even her handmaidens were all bitten, Erenia spoke to the tiny bust of Roan.
Even in Swinho’s bedroom,
Even in the barracks on the battlefield, he carried them with him with great care.
Roan 2.
“It’s ugly in a country like this… Are you saying you’re disappointed?”
Erenia closed her eyes.
On the night when the sun changed, I remembered the affection he poured out on me.
I remembered that hot body and his low voice that made me cry.
The only thing reflected in his eyes was himself.
“Can’t it be? That you loved me that much♡”
Erenia twisted her body and stared blankly at Roan 2. Roan No. 2 faces her without speaking.
“Sometimes I want to turn him into stone like you. Then he wouldn’t have to turn his eyes to anyone else♡”
How about making Roan immobile?
Without my permission, you cannot avert your eyes or breathe.
Then, in what voice would he beg?
Would you threaten me? You might cry
Either way, you’ll be ecstatic.
And before that,
It’s tearing limb from limb of those bitches you don’t want to see.
Then, wouldn’t Roan swear that he would only look at me while regretting his actions?
“Huh ♡”
Erenia let out a strange sound and twisted her body. Just by imagining her, it seems that she is already close to her climax, but she has broken her promise to Roan.
I won’t feel alone
She couldn’t control her body to comfort herself, so she had to fill her body with a chastity belt herself. The feeling of cold metal between her legs was unpleasant, but there were times when she felt more like Roan’s power tying her down, making her even hotter.
“… If this is the case, they’d say Roan is a bad kid…”
Erenia became sullen for a moment.
I saw the eyes of Roan looking at them.
If I kill everyone, Roan will be angry. His name is Empress, so shouldn’t he show generosity to other women as well?
Ernear fiddled with the necklace on her neck.
What my father gave me at Swin Lake.
A talisman that kept the source of power for her magic small.
The amulet slowly began to glow.
And Erenia’s red eyes also started to shine like her blood.
She murmured.
“Still, because Roan is mine… ♡”
The emperor belongs to the empress.
It’s a fact that everyone thinks is right.
If it’s interfering with that, it’s right to sort it out.
“Forgive me… Will you give it to me?”
Erenier looked into Roan 2’s face and asked. The small statue’s amethyst pupils reflecting the candlelight and emitting light seemed like permission, so Erenia laughed.
“Whoops… Thank you, Roan♡”
The power flowing from the talisman began to mix with the magic in her hand.
**
“… It is a strange dream.”
The forest fairy stood up.
Moonless night.
Darkness fell on the long, radiant platinum blonde hair.
“Duke.”
As soon as I felt the presence of the forest fairy getting up, someone waiting outside started talking to me.
“What’s going on?”
“It is the contact of the elders.”
“Who is it?”
“…”
The escort hesitated for a moment before answering.
Her hesitation was brief, and her answer was clear.
“All of the elders.”
“Hmm… ?”
The duke’s pretty eyebrows twisted.
However, the Duke of the forest fairy rose up soon.
She left her room with only one piece of her light, fragrant robe on top of her.
Soon she discovered that she wasn’t the only one having strange dreams.
“You said that the goddess gave her a blessing.”
The duke tilted her head.
“To the Demon King.”
Counter-questioning is a useless act.
Behavior of not being confident in the report of the informant.
However, the elders did not rebuke the duke for this screwy behavior. Even if she looks sloppy, she is the eldest leading the forest fairies.
There are reasons for all of her actions.
I felt the need to organize my thoughts,
Or really, the words were delivered unclearly.
Or,
“Ahaha, the goddess appeared in my dream after a long time and is joking.”
More than five of the forest fairies tried to ignore the dreams they had at the same time.
However, the Duke’s laughter was cut short by an elder’s words.
Staying close to the border of the land of demons,
He was an elder taking care of the northeast village.
“Duke. Do you remember what I said last time?”
“What?”
“I told you that the representative of the demon tribe sent a letter. At that time, he told me not to mix with the demons and send them back.”
Everyone shut up.
Perhaps the representative of that demon tribe,
You mean the king, not the nearby demon lord?
I heard that the capital of the demons is far away.
The Duke asked slowly, recalling his thoughts.
“It did. But?”
“He sent another letter.”
“What did you say?”
“He is the king of demons with the power of a goddess, and he said he wanted to find a way for forest fairies and demons to live without harming each other.”
“…”
The meeting of forest fairies is quiet.
No admiration, no anger, no doubt.
Because I don’t put out words that aren’t refined.
The lengthy silence must have been because the words of the elder of the northeast were astonishing.
The warm spring night in the dark forest was filled with the sound of insects.
Sting. Sting.
When their playing is at rest,
The Duke opened his mouth.
“I get it. Please do not reply.”
Their decision took a long time, but
Execution was quick.
It was Seohyeol Commandery that received a reply in an instant.
The high lord, who was on duty, looked down at the goblin soldier, who was out of breath, with a bewildered face. A soldier smaller than a human looked even more insignificant in front of a centaur.
“What is it?”
“Grand Duke, Forest Fairy, arrows!”
The Grand Duke frowned.
“A forest fairy?”
Although there are signs that it has lessened since the last time he saw the wizard forest fairy led by the emperor, he still hated the forest fairy.
Hearing the words from behind, the expression of the great lord became even more stern.
“I shot an arrow at the gate.”
A gigantic body like Mount Tai stood up.
“… Is it war?”
But the goblin hurriedly flung his arms.
“No, no!”
It was almost four months.
The goblin bowed his head and held out the arrow he was holding at the high lord.
“Dozens of arrows like this flew from the direction of the Dark Forest and got stuck in the gate.”
It is a letter folded many times tied to the arrow of the forest fairy with elegant feathers.
The expression of the high lord, who unwrapped the bound paper, was colored with surprise.
The recipient written on the outermost surface of the folded paper is,
‘I’ll tell the king of the demons.’
