Chapter 207 – The Obscene Knight Dreams of NTL (1)
“Her Highness the Princess is giving a speech in the auditorium to commoners and lower nobles…”
I sat down at my desk and tapped the desk with my finger.
“Marjan, prepare the loudspeaker and wind catcher. It looks like the whole speech will have to be taken away.”
“Ah… That… Eugene…?”
Marjan’s words, which would normally have replied, ‘Yes, I understand’, are blurred ominously.
I raised my head from her report and looked at Marjan.
“Why is there a problem?”
“…That’s… I guess I’m running out of money.”
“Have you already spent all that much money?”
When I asked in surprise, Marjan cautiously nodded her head.
Unsurprisingly, she burst out laughing.
Funds ran out much faster than expected.
Money from the Calliope family and proceeds from the sale of dildos.
In addition, I borrowed money with future dildo profits as collateral, but to spend all of it…
Money was being deleted in real time.
“…As you said, the cost seems to have increased as we tried to respond thoroughly. No face. Sorry.”
I tapped Marjan on the shoulder as she bowed her head.
“No. I didn’t mean to criticize. Keep doing it that way.”
“But the cost…”
“I don’t mind the cost… The money I need right now…”
When dealing with the princess, there was no meaning unless he did it thoroughly.
Because if he did it in a clumsy way, he would rather be eaten by the princess.
“…I’ll have to borrow it from Lucia… But I won’t be able to borrow it in Urella’s name, so I’ll use a suitable family name as a detour…”
As she spoke, her head suddenly spun around and blacked out her vision as her energy drained her.
Kung—
As she is about to fall, she manages to hold on to her desk and does n’t tumble on her floor, but her body her does n’t budge.
“Eugene-nim…!!”
Surprised, Marjan shouted and ran to help me.
“It’s okay… Are you okay? No.. No matter what.”
“…It’s okay. I’m just a little tired.”
“Did you collapse from exhaustion? That…Come to think of it, I haven’t seen you sleep lately… Eugene-nim, have you not slept for days?”
It wasn’t until after hearing Marjan’s words that I remembered that I had stayed up all night.
‘…Since the last time I slept after the anti-aristocrat gathering was over…. It’s been about a week now.’
As soon as I recognized the period, the fatigue increased, but I couldn’t help it.
For a criminal like me to survive in the world of monsters, I have no choice but to change my body.
Because I don’t have the ability to memorize and summarize everything with just one glance like Lucia or Riana.
‘…Still, I thought I had prepared myself.’
Even if it was lacking, it was lacking for a long time.
Looking back now, it was difficult to follow the princess’ movements of her.
I leaned back in my chair and let out a long sigh.
“…Anyway, the only way to get financing is to tell Lucia. Let me tell you a story.”
Even if I didn’t go into detail, Lucia would take care of it for sure.
“All right. I will tell you and come back, so Eugene-sama, please get some sleep.”
“Yeah, I’ll go to sleep after reviewing this report.”
“No! Please go to bed right now.”
Marjan, who slammed her papers down with his hand her, apologized with her eyes wide open.
“Sorry… Sorry… Off topic. But, Eugene. If we continue like this, Eugene will collapse before Her Highness can move in earnest.”
I nodded and replied to Marjan, who warned her with her serious face her.
“I know. I’m really just reviewing this…”
“Eugene-nim…!!”
“Don’t shout like that. I can’t help it because it’s a really important document. It’s not long before that, so if you keep interrupting like this, you might have to stay up all night today?”
In fact, it was the same as having to stay up all night without interrupting, but at the mention of staying up all night again, Marjan was started and she backed away.
“…Then, I’ll go back today so I won’t interfere. Eugene. Instead, you really go to sleep as soon as the review is over.”
“I know. Go back carefully so you don’t get caught.”
“…Yes. Eugene. Take care.”
I saw off Marjan while hiding my fatigue as much as possible.
“…”
After Marjan was left alone and leaning back on her chair, she suddenly saw a shadow under her feet.
“…Liana Lumenhark.”
Unknowingly, I muttered the princess’s name to her.
Lately, whenever I thought about the princess for a long time, the shadow, more precisely, the ‘sword’ within the shadow called me.
And the more she does, the more her feelings for her for her princess become clearer.
Love is not
To say it was love, the emotion felt by the princess was dark like paint that had been repainted over and over again.
“…There is no time for idle thoughts.”
I strongly chewed my lower lip and read the data with my emotions pushed back.
***
“… Ha.”
Sitting in the lecture hall, Marjan let out a deep sigh.
At first, I was a little excited about the fact that I could be alone with Eugene.
Isn’t it natural that something happens when a man and a woman in their prime are alone in a closed room!
Moreover, this opportunity is an opportunity for a genius who even Lucia-sama was away.
If the situation came to pass, I was thinking of filling the void left by Lucia-sama with all my heart, but…
‘Even if you’re busy, you’re too busy….’
Even if you concentrate while working, when the work is over, you want to chat about your hard work today.
However, Marjan’s delusion ended in just one day.
The work never ends no matter how hard Her Highness the Princess goes around.
It feels like a bomb explodes on the other side if you spend time and money to cover one hole.
Besides, didn’t he see Eugene stumble and fall down with his own two eyes?
Judging by the feel of his chest when I touched him before, Eugene-sama has a body that is difficult to think of as a magician.
To the extent that Yujin collapsed, he didn’t stay up all night for a day or two.
‘If we continue like this, we could get really into trouble…’
As Marjan, I wanted to somehow make Eugene rest, but I can’t come up with a proper way.
“… Ha.”
“… Ha.”
The troubled Marjan let out a deep sigh, and the same sound was heard from the seat next to her.
She lifted her head and looked next to her, and saw a cute saintess with shiny pink hair rubbing her face against her desk her.
‘…Come to think of it.’
Lately, the saintess also seemed to have no energy.
“Lily.”
“…Yes, it’s Marjan Lily White Flan…”
“What’s going on?”
“…Yes I have it. Ha…”
The saintess let out a deeper sigh and pressed her cheek against her desk her.
“…The teacher doesn’t call me these days. Could it be that she is tired of me…”
As Marjan, who knew that the teacher the saintess was referring to was Eugene, her heart skipped a beat.
It’s not that Eugene doesn’t call because he’s tired of the saint.
Recently, Eugene has been limiting contact with other women except herself.
As I said, Eugene’s daily routine is so busy that he can’t even sleep properly.
In other words, I can’t afford to deal with women.
Even in this situation, the fact that you called only me is a little special…
‘…Wait a minute, don’t you mean that Eugene doesn’t recognize me as a woman?’
Suddenly realizing that something was going on, Marjan slightly opened her mouth as if in shock.
Marjan himself knows.
Tall height and neutral appearance.
She knows that she is more popular with women than men.
But she didn’t want to be treated as a man by the man she fell in love with.
Marjan clenched her fists and addressed her saintess.
“… Lily, I have a problem.”
“Oh, Marjan is giving counseling for troubles?”
As soon as she heard that she had troubles with the subject she was depressed about, her eyes twinkled and focused.
“…Yes. There is a man I am interested in.”
“Really? Good for you! Who is the opponent!”
Perhaps because she is so kind by nature, she rejoices in her work as if it were her own her.
Thump – thump –
At the thought of coveting such a saintess’ man, Marjan’s mouth her dried up and an unknown heat soared in her heart her.
“It’s still a secret.”
“…Ah. That’s too bad. Still, maybe I’ll tell you later. I’ll wait until then. Then what is your concern?”
“Thank you… That’s because the guy I’m interested in seems too busy these days.”
“Really? What a coincidence! These days, my teachers are so busy that it’s hard to see their faces…”
It wasn’t a coincidence, it happened because the two were the same person.
Marjan, clearing his throat, continued her.
“…So, how do I get the man to rest? I feel like I haven’t slept in days, so I’m really going to faint if I keep going like this…”
“Well! Wait…”
After saying that, the saintess went through her bag and took out a bottle containing her purple medicine and showed it to me.
“What is that…?”
“It’s sleeping plant concentrate! A bottle of this makes even a bear sleep! Actually, she was preparing to feed her a little when she met the teacher… I’ll give it to Marjan.”
What did she prepare to do after feeding Eugene sleeping pills?
To receive or not
After thinking for a moment, Marjan clenched her fists.
‘…For Eugene-sama.’
Never! Never! I didn’t get it because of personal greed!
I really had no choice but to accept it because I thought that Yujin-nim would really collapse if I continued like this.
“…Then, I’ll take it well.”
Marjan’s heart pounded with excitement and a sense of immorality in her hand with her little drug bottle in her.
