Chapter 156 – 14. Kingdom of Ventorino – Downfall or Fall (1)
[Kingdom of Ventorino – Fall or Fall]
“Bald, you know you have one week left, right?”
“Returning? Of course I know. But why?”
“No, that… I thought I should finish it soon… “
At Mercedes’ cautious question, Valdez shook his head slightly. It was a reasonable question for her, and she made a lot of sense. It was probably because Mercedes was unaware of her progress.
There was a week left before he left the kingdom of Ventorino, to be precise, the capital. Actually, this alone was enough time. She spent more time investigating the demon raid, discussing responsibility for it, and treating the wounds of the injured.
But it wasn’t even that long. She couldn’t help but be worried and concerned for Mercedes, who had heard rumors from Valdez.
But Mercedes also smiled at the confident expression on her Valdes’ face.
“Looks like there’s no need to worry.”
“It’s almost over.”
There was only a week left, and even if Princess Clara didn’t know, Queen Catarina was still there. But Valdez was confident enough.
It wasn’t the only thing that my heart would be urgent in the time left. In reality, as expected, Katarina was deeply troubled. The night before, she hadn’t slept well.
“Anyway, thank you for worrying about me. Sister.”
“… Huh.”
Mercedes’ mouth her twitched at the words “Thank you” And “Sister”.
Valdez burst into laughter at the sight.
“You’ll always hear it, but why do you like it so much?”
“No, it’s just… I’m getting weirder as time goes on.”
“What?”
“Um… The fact that you call me older sister and treat me with respect?”
“Mercy. Then should we just speak in short language?”
“Yes.”
Mercedes blushed at his handsome smile when he called her by his nickname her.
How can you not be embarrassed when you send such a smile with an already outstanding face and let go of your words? Considering that most of the time he spoke casually, it was during sex, and his body reacted on its own.
“It’s not like that…”
“Then why?”
“Something… Coming closer and closer to reality.”
“… Ah, that I was the Demon Prince and the Hero Pedro?”
“…Yes.”
Mercedes’ face her grew redder.
He felt ashamed to say what he said. But he fully understood. Even if he heard the confession of her about his identity and understood it, it would n’t have been a part that he could easily feel. He just thought it did n’t matter because of his big, deep love her.
However, as Valdes revealed various things and sparsely informed the progress, his true identity gradually came closer to reality. When his mother his, Beatrice, called him West, it was a different feeling than when he treated him with respect and affection.
Haha, why are you suddenly like that? Do you remember what you said then?”
“…”
She was silent
Of course I remembered.
Although what she said with Marie was good, there was no lie in what she said at that time.
If he truly loves them, no matter what his identity his is. And it didn’t matter what he wanted. It was a misconception that she was a country’s princess and her next successor her, but to Mercedes, Valdes’ existence was already like that.
I really love you so much that I would give you everything.
If his presence was a threat to the kingdom and its people, the judgment that it could be better if he existed, rather, remained vaguely in his head. In a way, it may be a selfish and self-comforting judgment, but Mercedes believed him.
“Ki, remember… I do… Yes, I remember.”
Seeing the blond princess knight muttering while squatting her hands her, Valdez smiled a little and stepped in front of her.
“It’s lovely.”
“Ugh… Hehe.”
A kiss between two people that was natural. It wasn’t deep, but it was a kiss full of love for each other.
Her lips her, which had been briefly overlapped, dropped, and Mercedes looked down at the boy hugging her with her childish eyes full of pity. But Valdez shook her head.
It wasn’t for any particular reason.
“Oh my gosh!”
It was because he had just opened the door and felt the presence of Marie rushing towards him.
Hehe!”
Marie ran to him like a deukdal and hugged Valdes. Then, noticing the strange atmosphere that enveloped the room, she lifted her head from his back and looked at the two of them.
“Ah!!”
“What a surprise. Why are you screaming?”
“Hey, did I make a mistake?”
“Uh?”
“No, the atmosphere… I think I was just about to do it.”
“…”
She could not answer her brother’s words to her.
In my heart, I wanted to say yes. She probably would have continued hugging and groping Valdez and going straight to her bed if Marie hadn’t come. However, she was not the one who would inform her sister of the truth.
“Oh, not really.”
“Huh… Well, okay.”
Although she replied that she knew, Marie did not take her sister’s word her for granted. Originally, Mercedes often had a lot of shyness for nothing. A magical day only for women. Because of this, she said nothing more.
Instead, she took out the business that came to this place.
“More than that, older brother, please help me!”
“Huh? Suddenly?”
I looked at Marie, wondering what she was talking about. In the meantime, as I released her arms from holding her Mercedes, I felt her staring at me, but she tried to ignore it.
“What is it?”
“Because of Prince Alfonso.”
“Ah…”
One name spit out with a blunt face. However, it was not difficult to infer the situation with that alone. That would be the case, as I had already heard the story through rumors around me. Of course, even if that wasn’t the case, there was only one thing Alfonso would do to Marie.
“You’re bothering me again.”
“Yes!”
Prince Alfonso fell in love with Marie at first sight.
From the first day the envoys arrived to the day of the meeting between the two kingdoms, he continued to flirt with Marie. Of course, the expression of flirtation was felt by Marie, and she firmly believed that, as Alfonso, she was going to marry in the future, so she just used what she learned from seeing her older sister couple, who could be called samples.
Although it was impossible for a child to reproduce the things Clara and Lloyd usually did, Alfonso was the next king who had received a high level of etiquette education at the royal family, even though he was young.
Still, he clumsily imitated and showed a rather sweet appearance as if he had a sense from the beginning, fully showing off his charm as his as a young scion of cuteness and coolness. In a word, he showed enough behavior to win the girl’s favor her.
If it is an ordinary woman. There was already a man named Valdes who had dedicated his heart, body, and virginity, but there was no way that such a kid would come into sight.
“I was quiet for a while…”
“It’s not long before you go back, so you must be in a hurry.”
“Ugh, that’s right.”
Because of the big incident of the demon attack, the marriage alliance, more precisely, the talk about the engagement was not talked about. The atmosphere in the country and the capital was also chaotic, so Alfonso had to take care of himself for a while.
Everyone was immersed in sadness and anger, but the prince couldn’t cling to the princess of the neighboring country. Even if it was during the time when talk about marriage came and went.
But now there is only a week left. I don’t know when the next meeting will be. That was enough reason for the boy in love to move. The other three members of the royal family, who were supposed to control Alfonso, didn’t pay attention to him for various reasons.
“Hmm, Prince Alfonso…”
After hearing Marie’s lamentation, Valdez fell into trouble.
Prince Alfonso Ventorino.
The first son of Mark and Katarina. And Clara’s sister.
Although he was deeply in love with the three people he was paying attention to and working on, Valdez didn’t care about the prince at all. It was because he was ambiguous in many ways.
Although Alfonso is Marc’s son, it was difficult to touch him. The first reason was that he did not want to involve his young children in taking revenge. He could be said to leave behind regrets, but he was confident that he could ignore even them.
Also, touching Alfonso could have hindered the capture of Catarina and Clara. Even if he really destroyed it completely to the bottom, he was their child and younger brother. He couldn’t be killed, but it was difficult to make him mentally devastated.
In other words, in the process of getting revenge on Mark, he would be affected in no small way, so he wondered if he needed to care. It would have been shocking enough for his mother and sister to fall for a completely different man.
However, this case was a little different.
“Hmm, I didn’t really think about it… But it can’t be helped if it happens like this.”
“Ah…! Will you help me?”
“Of course it should be. Even though I gave it to you because of me, and you don’t know the truth…”
Somehow embarrassed to say it out of his mouth, he swallowed his afterwords. But Marie put on a smirk that didn’t go well with a girl, as if she knew what he was trying to say.
Hehe…”
“…Why.”
“No, it’s just~ I like it~.”
Seeing her younger brother her smiling, Mercedes murmured quietly to herself.
“… Should I go to Operation Jealousy….”
When her Valdés looked back at her in bewilderment, she immediately floundered and made up her excuses.
“Oh, no… That’s not… “
“…”
“That, so… That’s… Uh, mi, sorry…”
“No, I didn’t say anything…”
“Mo, I don’t know, you fool.”
The princess, who showed a uniquely different appearance today, bowed her pale face down, and she went behind Valdes and hugged him. Marie also followed her sister her in front of her and was equally snug into his arms her.
Moderately soft breasts felt from both the front and back, as well as fairly full breasts. As the two touches attacked him at the same time, blood began to flow to his lower leg according to the male’s instinct. Marie, who was leaning against Valdez, was the first to notice it and began to smile sinisterly.
“Older brother… Marie, I don’t have a schedule behind me… ♡”
“Me too.”
“… This is still my sister’s room, is that okay?”
“Isn’t that okay… Won’t it?”
“Um… Well, that’s fine. Or should I call Ethylene and have her escort me for a while?”
Of course, I didn’t mean to stick close to the door and stand as an escort. If someone seems to have business while hanging out in the hallway, he informs them in advance or accepts them instead. If she stuck close to guarding the door, that side would be more suspicious.
“Oh, I thought of Ethylene. What would she do with that woman?”
“That woman? … Ah, demons?”
“Yes.”
As Valdez was about to answer Marie’s question, Mercedes frowned as she said she had never heard of her.
“Huh? Demons? What do you mean by that?”
“Huh? Ah, so…”
Mercedes listened to his answer step by step. Her expression was getting worse. She looked more sad than angry. Seeing that, Valdes also felt apologetic. It was because he intended to ask her to tell her story about her.
“Ugh… Did you do something so fun just the two of you?”
“Three to be exact…”
“Anyway!”
“Then… I’ll revise the plan a bit and let my sister join me.”
“Hehe, I’m looking forward to that.”
It was a matter of thoroughly teasing one of the demon tribe female knights, but Mercedes didn’t pay much attention either. Maybe in the past, but now, Valdez is more important than trivial things. In the past, he was a knight who knew honor, close to justice and goodness, but that was all a thing of the past.
“I’m a little surprised.”
“Huh? What?”
“I thought you’d be a little hesitant, though.”
“Well, I don’t know if it was before… But now we have priority.”
“We…”
“Yes. We.”
Valdez, who was thinking about her words her “We,” Smiled lightly. It was a word I particularly liked.
We.
I didn’t know how many more people would fit into this, but I thought I’d do my best so that as much as possible, they wouldn’t regret loving and following me.
He kissed Mercedes.
And after kissing with Marie who came in between them.
A small fever swept through the room where the three men and women were together.
