Episode 39
Ilione acted cheerfully, but Elisha read a strange disappointment in her eyes.
'Looks like Lucerne had a little heart. But. He's handsome, so you might consider him a man…….'
Besides, Princess Ilione was the woman Lucerne would woo after five years. For political reasons.
Lucerne didn't answer her marriage proposal for a long time, so she said that she was worried about her. Elisha checked to see if the two were lovers. Lucerne's reaction was dry as usual.
'What does this relationship have to do with me?'
Elisha decided to turn her nerves off. The princess approached Lucerne, and she whispered a few words and fell.
“Got it. Obama will be really upset if I miss this meeting.”
“Let's go before it is too late. I'll see you at the imperial palace.”
“Ah, yes. Lunch yesterday was such a waste.”
She pleaded with her and turned her back. Elisha looked at her back and took Lucerne's hand and climbed into her carriage.
“If it's lunch……. Was Her Highness at the hotel for her lunch yesterday?”
“Okay.”
Lucerne gave a short answer.
Speaking of yesterday's lunch, it was the day Lucerne asked us to have lunch at the hotel. Elisha almost laughed inwardly.
'Ah, that's why I called her to the hotel.'
It was evident that it was an occasion to introduce herself and her close political and personal relationship, the princess. She broke her promise…… She said.

Lucerne took Elisha and got into her carriage. Elisha glanced at Lucerne in the swaying carriage.
“Why.”
Lucerne answered without even moving.
“No, it looks like you and the princess know each other well.”
“Are you jealous?”
“No way.”
Elisha turned her head. Her lucerne was felt scrutinizing her.
“You can be jealous. I like a woman who is good at perverting things.”
“Jealousy is not a vice, and I don't enjoy wasting my emotions unnecessarily.”
Elisha turned her head. Before she knew it, her Lucerne face was getting closer. Elisha couldn't meet her gaze without being stung.
“It's cold too. Our little ghost.”
Lucerne lightly touched Elisha's lower lip. It wasn't far from the hotel to her mansion. The carriage stopped.
“Get off.”
Lucerne opened the door. Elisha staggered down. Lucerne supported her.
“If you can't walk, I'll hug you and take you to your room.”
“-It's okay.”
Lucerne nodded her head. A butler was running out from afar.
“Are you here! I was surprised to see you two suddenly didn't come back last night-“
Said the butler, rubbing her chest. Lucerne said to the butler.
“Take her wife and take special care of her. You must have been very surprised. Did you hear what happened?”
Elisha's eyebrows twitched.
“Where are you going?”
“I have to go to the imperial palace. Now that the war is over, the government meeting begins.”
Elisha nodded her head. In some cases, government meetings lasted for several days. Maybe he won't come back for a while.
“When.”
As Lucerne was about to turn around, Elisha asked softly.
“Are you coming back?”
“After work.”
No specific answer came. Then it is. Elisha nodded her head.
“Do you think you might want to see it?”
“No. It's because when you come back, you have to be prepared to greet it. Now I am the hostess of this house.”
Elisha spoke dryly in a tone that required cooperation in business. Lucerne nodded her head.
“Stay calm. Don't go anywhere.”
After saying that, Lucerne closed the carriage door.
His carriage has left. Feeling tired, Elisha entered her mansion with the help of her butler.
* * *
As soon as Elisha got home, she lay down on the bed. Her maid Sophie made a fuss about her Elisha's condition.
“Where are you sick, madam?”
“No. A little tired Please give me a change of clothes.”
Elisha was comfortable serving Sophie, but she was also unfamiliar. This is because in her previous life, she had rather served as a servant to the Jacob couple. In the process of changing her clothes, Elisha ended up finding her petticoat stained with her blood.
“Perhaps…….”
Sophie looked at it and knew it wasn't blood from the moon. Elisha said embarrassedly.
“My back hurts a bit. I'm not used to it.”
At Elisha's whispered words, Sophie quickly recognized her hidden meaning. The fact that Lucerne and Elisha had a belated first night last night. Sophie quickly nodded her head.
“It must have been because he was going to the battlefield.”
Elisha nodded her head.
“It's a story you don't need to brag about.”
Sophie, with her experience in her previous mansion, she knew what she should do in a case like this. Sophie prepared her new, clean pajamas and prepared the bath water.
After Elisha soaked her, he made her change clothes and massaged her limbs.
“It sounds like you are being too lazy. It's midday, but you're still lying in bed.”
At Elisha's words, Sophie spoke cheerfully while massaging her limbs with soft balm.
“Shouldn't you be able to spend time as a couple again when you get better?”
“…….”
Elisha was in a strange mood.
'Next……. Maybe there was one?'
Lucerne was very sorry last night. She stood tall like a pillar of hers and didn't back down. The thought of that genital organ scared her. How many times do I have to do that to make the penis quiet?
'If you get excited every time you kill a monster…….'
He said he once cut 20,000 of them. Her eyes were dizzy. Elisha couldn't understand how Lucerne could have lived without a woman in her previous life. Or did she meet her undetected?
“Hey, didn't your skin swell by any chance? I need to apply this mild ointment. Drinking a soft drink and going to sleep also helps,”
Sophie tried to pull up Elisha's skirt without hesitation. Elisha was frightened and stopped that.
“I……. I will take care of it.”
Elisha sighed. She didn't know what this was all about. Sophie wasn't the only one she cared about.
That afternoon, knights snooped around the bedroom several times. They didn't dare to come in and seemed to be asking how they were from the outside.
'Everyone is so picky.'
Elisha thought. She usually told the knights, 'If you want anything, just tell me.' So during the two months she was without Lucerne, she toured the mansion once a day, chatting with the knights about this and that. Maybe that's why there were many knights who came to see me on business today.
“No, black bread was served again for that lunch. What is it? Yes?”
Corinne came first and filed a complaint. Black bread, which she dislikes, was all on the breakfast and lunch menu.
“Tell me we can't get black bread off the menu at all, Sophie.”
Of course, she couldn't take the complaint that far. Even though Elisha cut it off, Corinne continued to hang around her and say a word.
“No……. I came to ask if you were okay. What……. Do you remember any of their faces?”
Elisha tilted her head.
'Did the fact that I was attacked become known among the knights?'
I hated that. When it becomes known that Elisha wandered through her crowd in her underwear……. She was terrified
Besides, Lapis came every two hours to check on how Elisha was.
'Lapis is a talkative person. Aren't boys usually reticent at that age?'
She had no boys to compare with. Elisha thought that Lapis would be lonely. Now I'm only 14 years old, I'm going to the battlefield, and it seems like there are no adults to take care of me.
'I'll have to go and take care of him when he wakes up.'
Elisha quickly got bored with her bedtime. Sophie was so exceptionally caring for her that even Elisha's slightest movement of her hand caused a stir. Elisha opened her window and she took a sip of the cocoa Sophie had made for her.
'Really, yesterday is peaceful as if it were a dream, today the mansion is quiet…….'
That thought was broken exactly one minute later. Because it was noisy outside. Elisha closed the window. Sophie had just entered the room.
“Sophie, what happened?”
“Oh, no big deal. Lady.”
“If nothing else…….”
Sophie hesitated and said.
“Knight Nora said she would commit suicide, so the knights were trying to stop it…….”
Oops. Elisha almost spit out the cocoa she was drinking.
“I beg your pardon?”
* * *
When Elisha arrived at her knights' quarters, she was already in a commotion. Corinne and Ian were holding on to Nora.
“Nora, please stop!”
“Let go. She deliberately singled out me for an escort, but instead of fulfilling her duty, she betrayed her trust by being careless. It's disgraceful as a knight, so I'd rather die.”
“Ah, Mr. This is why talent is a problem. I've never failed before, so I'm at this point!”
Said Ian, shaking her head annoyedly.
“Get out of the way!”
The maids opened their mouths, and the servants stamped their feet. As Elisha pushed through them, they quickly moved away.
“M-Mama?”
Ian and Corinne's eyes widened. Lapis and Lazuli stepped back.
“Nora. What is this?”
“Lady.”
Nora had her sword drawn and prostrated on the spot.
“I said it wasn't a mistake.”
“…….”
“Did you do this because you didn't believe it?”
“That's not it. I……. She even heard the mistress say undeserved things. I ended up disappointing you.”
Nora said quietly. Her face was pale, as if she had already made a fuss once. When she looked closely, she even saw her blood on her arm. At that moment, even though she was Elisha, her head throbbed.
'There are really people who are this pure in the world. He even hurt himself.'
What kind of blessing is Lucerne that these knights follow? Elisha was astounding.
