Chapter 24 – Episode 24 ― The Princess Can’t Sleep (3)
Episode 24 ― The Princess Can’t Sleep (3)
A group of demons, forest fairies, and humans were walking through the corridors in the middle of the night.
I said I was going to find the emperor, but I heard that he was in his office and was on his way there.
‘Are you still in the office after 10 o’clock?’
The princess’s bedtime was nine o’clock.
The door to the office was slightly open. The bright light from the lighting magic orb was leaking through the crack in the door. The vampire maid quietly peeked through the door. Just inside the office door is the secretary’s office.
The faunus secretary, who had noticed, left work at the dissuade of the demon king.
However, in the end, he couldn’t overcome his guilt and took an officer who was younger than himself.
In the end, the imp officer who met both her boss and the boss above him by mistake nodded and was startled by the presence of her maid.
“Oh, oops. What is it?”
“I have come to see Your Majesty.”
“Sup. Um, yes. At this late hour. What time is it?”
Taking one look at the watch, one look back at the princess and Lauca, the imp yawned and cleared his throat.
“Hmm. Hmm. Your Majesty, the human princess staying in the tower has come to see you.”
“… Stop by.”
The imp opened the door and Lauca slumped into a chair in the corner of her secretary’s office. The princess took a look at Lauca and entered her office.
Roan looked at Grunent’s clothes, wearing only pajamas and a light gown, and asked curiously.
“What’s going on? Did you come out of bed?”
Grünent couldn’t say, ‘I missed your face.’
“A while ago, His Majesty told me to come if it was difficult…”
“Ah. Are you feeling unwell?”
Roan slightly frowned and looked at ‘detection’. I don’t think Grünent’s body is bad. Rather, it feels good…
Noticing that it was a good feeling, Roan smiled slightly.
Seeing this, the princess felt her heart drop.
The slightly tired face and disheveled hair were suggestive. The smile on his face is so charming.
‘Center… , Take a deep breath. Take a deep breath. Whoa…’
The princess took a deep breath and looked at the emperor’s desk.
“I came here to tell you, as I was a little startled and couldn’t sleep. I don’t think it will be a big deal.”
“I’m glad.”
“Have you been reading an ancient language book?”
Roan looked down at his desk at Grunent’s words. An ancient dictionary that could not be hidden was sticking out.
The Demon King said while brushing his head as if he was calm.
“Well, I’ve been looking for something lately.”
“You are amazing. The ancient language is too difficult for me, so I learned it while being scolded by my friends since I was little.”
Roan knew who the friend in the story was.
“You mean your friend taught you an ancient language? At a young age? Great.”
Okay. What a person.
And sooner or later it will come to rescue you.
“Yes. It was… I wasn’t as good as my friend.”
The princess seems to recall her past in the kingdom with her plaintive eyes. Roan thought he should change the subject.
“Hmm. Come to think of it, I said the other day that I had something to ask for help.”
“Ah yes. Your majesty. I remember.”
Roan said, offering the princess a chair.
“The full-scale discussion will be discussed later in the presence of the servants, but… I want to buy food elsewhere.”
“Food… What?”
Grünent lowered his voice, which he raised involuntarily. And he glanced out the door once.
Seeing this, Roan said to the outside of the room.
“Secretary.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
“Don’t hold out there, go in and get some rest. On the way in, take the maid and her forest sprite.”
The imp was speechless. He was probably shy.
“… Yes, Your Majesty. Thank you.”
I could hear Lauca muttering softly at her handmaid and her secretary. Since she had been subjected to magic to seal her powers anyway, she wouldn’t offer any meaningful resistance.
‘Only two… Hey…’
Grünent consciously tried to focus on the work story to put her labored thoughts aside.
“Where are you going to get food?”
“Arteala.”
“North… , Are you referring to Arteala, a union of cities to the northwest of Evirzio?”
Grünent, whom he unknowingly regarded as the standard of the kingdom of Merde, corrected his words. Roan nodded his head coolly, but Grunent said worriedly.
“There is a border with Merde, so Merde’s influence is strong now.”
“Know. They say they don’t sell food.”
“… Yes.”
It was something the princess herself suggested to her father. Grunent bit his lip and lowered his head.
“But as a merchant, you won’t be able to profit from hoarding things.”
“You’re right, but all of a sudden…”
“If I told you there was a way to get it, would you help me?”
Grünent’s eyes widened at the confidence in Roan’s words.
Arteala in the west, a confederation of cities, borders Merde, and the land jutting out to the north is a peninsular state facing Evirzio in the east.
It is separated from Evirgio by a not very wide sea, so it can be reached in a week by boat, so it must have been a human country with a lot of trade before the war.
However, Merde shares a border by land. Even during the war, Merde’s military power is incomparably stronger than that of the city-state, Arteala.
Nevertheless, the Emperor seems to have some numbers.
The princess blinked his eyes slowly and lowered his head.
“Even if there is no way, I will help Your Majesty.”
A smile appeared on Roan’s face.
“Thank you, that is a meaningful word.”
“Thank you. Your majesty.”
“All the more since you, who once prayed for my failure here, say so.”
Grunent looked up at him with astonishing speed.
Roan had a mischievous expression on his face.
It was a leisurely joke that could be made because the affinity level was over +60.
It’s not a negative likeability that sounds bad no matter what you say. Now, no matter what you say, the high likability value is packaged well.
Grünent lowered his head, blushing his face like Roan thought. If it had been the previous situation, he would probably have been upset about what you were being sarcastic about.
“Well, that kind of story…”
The demon king got up from his desk in his office. Then he approached the princess, who was sitting in the guest chair and only peered at the floor.
Roan slowly brought his face close to hers.
‘… Ah, the sound of breathing…’
It was a sweet scent that I had never felt before. The princess felt her mind wander.
The demon king whispered in her ear.
“Actually, the clothes she was wearing were cute too.”
“… !!”
Like a cartoon, the princess’s face was dyed red from her neck to her ears.
“That, like that… Your Majesty, no… , Such a masculine…”
Seeing the princess stammer, Roan gave a small smile.
“Why? I think it’s pretty.”
“Ugh…”
And at the princess’s next words, Roan’s smile grew even thicker.
“Lung, Your Majesty, clothes like that… , If you like… It can not be helped… But… Next time… Rado… ?”
I couldn’t stand it any longer.
Roan hugged the princess.
“Wow?!”
Grünent gave her a small scream, but Roan held her and strode out of her office.
“Lungs, Your Majesty! When users see… !”
“Don’t you all know that you are my concubine?”
At the words mixed with laughter, Grunent silently embraced the demon king and squeezed only the hem of his clothes.
Roan used ‘detection’ while killing the presence.
It was late, so it was easy to enter the bedroom and avoid the few servants.
I didn’t want to disturb the current atmosphere by being greeted by the servants.
Looking at the bedroom attendant who hurriedly lowered his head, Roan said coldly.
“Clear your seat. Don’t come until morning.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
Even in the midst of this, Grünent felt his heart pounding as he cared for himself, who was ashamed.
Roan carefully set her down on her bed. Grunent felt regret at the disappearance of the hot body heat that enveloped her.
But soon, seeing Roan’s next move, she closed her eyes tightly, forgetting her regret.
“I was waiting.”
Roan’s lips lightly touched Grunent’s forehead and then fell.
“The day you accept me.”
Roan’s large hand gently ran through her pale pink-brown hair.
Then Grunent gasped, and she said.
“… Your majesty… Breath…”
Roan sat down on the bed and looked down at Grunent. Right now, ‘Miheun’ and ‘Overwhelm’ are completely suppressed.
The trembling she feels now and her excitement stem from her love for her wholly herself.
That fact made Roan even more happy.
He said gently stroking her cheek.
“Okay. Breathe slowly. Anyway…”
Roan slowly leaned towards Grunent, who was looking up at him blankly.
“After this, you won’t care about that.”
“… ?!”
The princess’s soft lips touched Roan’s.
Her tiny body jumped up like a small freshly caught fish. Her demon king’s thick arms imprisoned her.
“… Right… Laugh… “
Her careful lips were so hot that Grunent twisted her body a little. But her demon lord wouldn’t let her go.
Roan held her tight and kissed her along the lips, licking her lips with her tongue. It was like a relentless effort to figure out the shape of her lips.
The princess, who tried to turn her head, managed to hold on to her consciousness.
‘I don’t want to look like I hate it.’
I didn’t want to avoid it.
I wanted to know all about him.
His movement, which had been coveting her lips several times, stopped.
‘… Huh?’
At the sudden interruption, Grunent quietly opened his eyes.
And she knew that her eyes, like the amethyst of her demon king, were looking at her.
“… Your majesty.”
“Look at me. Princess.”
A smile appeared on Roan’s face. It was a smile that seemed to be lonely somewhere, as if it was longing, and as if it stimulated a woman’s heart.
“Don’t look away.”
And Grünent reacted involuntarily.
“Your majesty. I will not turn a blind eye.”
The princess hugged the demon king.
Roan stood still for a moment, as if surprised by her sudden embrace, then wrapped her arms around her again with both of her hands.
Grünent continued to mutter.
“Your majesty… I long for you. Your majesty.”
“Hmm.”
Roan gently stroked her hair.
After enjoying her embrace for a while, Roan carefully removed her body. And she looked into her frozen face after her impulsive confession.
“I, too, love the princess.”
“Grünent…”
“Hmm?”
The princess’s blue eyes sparkled.
“Name… I am His Majesty’s concubine… I am the one who has to stay here now.”
It was so endearing that it drove Roan crazy.
It was not conveyed through pictures and letters in the monitor,
Temperature and voice. Movement. Feelings.
Delivered through heightened and focused ‘detection’,
It shook his heart even more violently.
“Okay. Grünent.”
“… Your majesty.”
“Grünent. Mine.”
Roan’s words made Grunent extremely happy. However, she soon developed a strange feeling for her and she quietly fell from the emperor’s arms.
“I…”
“?”
“Something keeps pressing me.”
“… !”
Reflecting Roan’s fierce excitement, the lower leg was already hugely swollen and pressing down on the princess’ thighs.
The princess saw something like that in prison.
She had never seen a human-like demon like the demon king use it. But the vague fear that had been living in her body dawned on her.
The moments when orcs and ogre guards’ sticks moved in and out of the maids’ bodies and they screamed came to mind.
“… Lungs, Your Majesty, this… This.”
And the demon king also felt her fear. It was thanks to the ‘detection’ that was refined on a different level than when he first felt the fear of a slave in the body of the demon king.
So, to appease the princess, Roan spoke softly and slightly opened up ‘Miheun’. It was about the strength of a drug to temporarily forget painful memories.
“Grünent. Okay.”
“… Your majesty…”
“It happened because you were so lovely. But it won’t hurt.”
“Yes…”
Answering in a slightly languid voice, Grunent nodded her head.
“It’s okay, Your Majesty…”
She said blankly and looked at Roan.
Roan stared at her open lips, then started kissing her.
It was the beginning of a passionate night.
