109. Kidnapped by the princess (3)
109. Kidnapped by the princess (3)
Let me tell you in advance, I hate children.
This is because they don’t listen properly, don’t communicate, are noisy, and are distracting.
To summarize, it is safe to say that I hate all children in the world except for angelic children like my younger brother.
But.
“I… Let them play… ?”
Charlotte handed over a ridiculous task to you and left.
Leaving behind dozens of children like these idiots.
I don’t even know how to play with children.
“This…” This is beyond what I can do… “
My body automatically took a step back to avoid those vicious gazes.
And then, I gently stretched out my hand towards the doorknob.
Clap- Clap- Clap-
“I’m going crazy… You left the door locked… ?”
She is not called a villain in novels for nothing.
The children pointed at me and shouted as if they sensed something wrong with me.
“Oh, he’s trying to run away!”
“Stop it! Stop it! “Sister Charlotte told me to stop it!”
“Waaa!!”
Rumbling-
Children who sensed signs of abnormality in me began to flock to me.
They were pulling my clothes and spewing out countless uncoordinated words.
“Brother! Let’s play! Let’s play!”
“I want to eat! Give me food! “Give me food!”
“What is your relationship with your sister? Are you engaged? “Is this ring also an engagement ring?”
“I’m curious! Curious! Curious!”
It’s crazy.
I can’t get used to that high tension.
How can we satisfy and play with so many children?
No matter how hard I tried to get my head around it.
“Brother, this suit is cool! “I want to try it on!”
“Me too! Me too! Me too!”
The kids didn’t even want to give me that time.
In the end, I had no choice but to make a choice.
Sharp-
I knelt on the floor and spoke while lying face down.
“… “Who wants to ride on my back?”
“Me! “I want to ride!”
“Me too! Me too! “I want to ride too!”
“Get out of the way! “I will conquer this back!”
“… “
It was the moment when I realized how to adapt to reality as a prisoner.
***
About 1 hour, which felt like 10 hours, had passed.
The tightly closed door opened and Charlotte came in.
She looked at me with a puzzled face and asked.
“What are you doing, Damien?”
“You wouldn’t know it if you looked at it… ? You’re playing… “
“He’s quite enthusiastic.”
“Si, it’s noisy… “
Fussuk-
When I saw Charlotte’s face, I relaxed the strength I was giving to her body.
It’s been a while since I felt the warmth of the floor.
“What are you doing, bro! “We have to get to that wall quickly!”
“It’s been a while since we got on board! Let’s hurry!”
“Let’s go! Let’s go! Let’s go!”
Three children riding on my back.
Lesha, Neres, and Vita shouted as they hit my back.
‘I am not a car… I’m really dying… ‘
I am just thankful for the one child who is leaning against the wall and reading a book.
Charlotte cleared the children behind me and opened the box she was holding in her hands.
The smell of freshly baked bread and fatty meat wafted through the room.
“I brought rice so everyone can come and eat. “The portion is plentiful, so you can eat it slowly.”
“It’s been a while since I had meat!”
“Bread is expensive too! “Noona, you’re the best!”
The kids who had been bullying me immediately flocked to Charlotte.
Meanwhile, I ran away to a far corner to avoid the children.
‘Up until now, I thought that evil women were created… I don’t think so. ‘It seems like children are devils from birth.’
Cruel bastards.
The moment when I believed that there was a clear rumor of evil intent.
A boy who seemed to be the leader of the children approached me with bread and meat on a plate.
“The kids are a little rough, aren’t they? I’m sorry for making you have a hard time. “Eat this!”
“You… Was it Milo?”
“Yes, that’s right! “Thanks for remembering my name, bro!”
Milo smiled as he handed me a plate.
Dark skin from sunburn and thin body from not being able to eat well.
Looking at his behavior, he was a child who had difficulty being considered a prince of a country.
‘Still, it seems like you have a kind heart that cares about others.’
Cancellation of negative rumors.
I accepted the plate given by Milo.
“Thank you. I’ll eat well. But the kid over there reading a book doesn’t have to eat?”
“Ah, Louis… I’ll take care of it. I’m having a hard time because I lost my twin brother… “
He seemed to be the twin brother of the guy named Ray who said he was called in earlier.
Seeing that he was still reading a book even though he was hungry and smelled of food, he seemed to be quite heartbroken.
As I was quietly watching them, Charlotte, who had finished the children’s meal, came and sat down next to me.
“It seems like you treated my younger siblings better than I thought. “Everyone said it was fun and liked it.”
“… I wasn’t having fun. “I hope you don’t do something like this again.”
At that moment, Charlotte threatened me with a fork and said,
“How many times should I tell you? “What position are you in now?”
“… Captive.”
“If you know it well, just do your work without saying anything. Obey my orders unconditionally. Okay?”
That damn thing.
No matter how I look at it, I think Charlotte brought me to Orcia to use me as a slave.
In fact, in that sense, they are trying to attract talent from the Kingdom of Orsia.
‘Still, Charlotte. Even in bad situations, you try to take care of your younger siblings first.’
Compared to the bread on my plate and the ground on Charlotte’s plate.
Charlotte’s bread was half as small as mine.
I carelessly took off half of the bread and handed it to Charlotte.
“What are you doing now?”
“You eat. “I’m not hungry.”
“… “Are you sure you sympathize with me?”
Is Princess Orcia’s pride not allowing it?
Charlotte is glaring at me with an expression that threatens to stab me at any moment.
My heart flinched slightly.
I said it didn’t matter.
“It’s not a pity. I asked because I was full and didn’t want to eat. “If you don’t need something, throw it on the floor.”
“… “If you’re going to throw it away, give it to me.”
“Is it a waste?”
“… If you want to give it to me, just give it to me.”
Hook-
Charlotte cut off half of the bread with a fork.
A princess from a country that tries to save food without throwing it away.
I was quite shocked by how well the world was running.
‘More than what appeared in the novel… It seems normal… ‘
Charlotte in the novel did everything to survive, using people, kidnapping the crown prince, and even assassinating the king.
Among them, he kidnapped the most precious prince in the empire, so he ended up losing his life…
‘Except for using people, threatening them with their lives, and having a dual personality, it’s more normal than you think, isn’t it?’
I was able to think positively about Charlotte’s condition.
She finished eating the bread next to me, looked at me, and muttered in a low voice.
“Honestly, don’t you think it’s strange?”
“The kingdom’s princes and princesses are gathered in a room like this?”
“So, which prince do you think Milo will be?”
“Hmm… “
The king looked like he was 60 years old.
Milo, who looks like he’s about 7 or 9 years old…
“5Th prince due to hitting a lot?”
“Wrong. “He is the 17th prince.”
“… “
“And my father is still in his 40s. “He only has a long life left to live.”
He looks like he’s in his 40s.
It’s not easy.
I didn’t really understand the nonsense of being the 17th prince in his 40s.
How many women’s bodies have he coveted?
I finally realized why this country is like this.
“When children behave in an unpleasant way, or when they get older, their father orders someone to kill them. And, in the process, you have to prove necessity in order to survive like me.”
“The reason you brought me to the Kingdom of Orsia was to prove your necessity.”
“… No, that’s different. I had that feeling a little bit, but… “I also wanted to help you.”
I guess it’s to somehow reduce his guilt.
Even though I didn’t need help, they forcibly kidnapped me.
Even so, I had no intention of blaming Charlotte.
Because I intended to get kidnapped by Charlotte in the first place.
‘It was also a problem of bad timing… ‘
What is Nadia doing?
He must have been very angry.
Awakening as a villain or something like that won’t happen, right?
I’m thinking that in my heart.
“… “Now that you’ve eaten, get up, Damian.”
“Me? Why again?”
“I told you that if you keep contradicting me, I will kill you. “Just follow me.”
I have to work, right?
After saying that, Charlotte grabbed my hand and started dragging me somewhere.
“You are the genius of the empire. We must work for our kingdom. From the perspective of being the princess of Orcia. “I can’t just sit back and watch this.”
“… “
I’m quietly listening to Charlotte’s story.
Somehow, I felt like she would be a good leader.
If she doesn’t become a villain, she will.
***
Ttogak- Ttogak-
Nadia walked down the aisle, her shoes clicking, her ring on the ring finger of her left hand.
Today, I was walking through the corridors of the imperial palace, not the corridors of the Verdium Mansion.
“Princess Charlotte of Orcia. “How dare you touch someone else’s things?”
Ttogak- Ttogak-
Anger seeped into the sound of her shoes ringing neatly.
Even the countless knights guarding the hallways are scared to death.
Nadia reached the end of the hallway and she ordered towards the Imperial Knight Commander.
“Open the door.”
“Be polite in front of the emperor.”
“Shut up and open the door. “Because my patience is about to run out.”
“… “Open the door.”
At the words of the knight leader, the knights opened the door.
The emperor’s throne room.
The emperor stands arrogantly at the end.
And the crown prince and princess.
‘Disgusting things.’
With a bold frown on her face, Nadia entered the throne room and came face to face with the Emperor.
She did not kneel, but opened her mouth with her back straight.
“My fiance was kidnapped. To the southern country of Orcia. So, I hope I can help you.”
“What help should I give to someone who has no manners?”
Nadia looked into the Emperor’s eyes and thought to herself.
‘The culprit that ruined my life. That’s why I was able to meet Damien.’
Her parents are lost and can never return.
Damian was lost, but he can come back.
So, Nadia made a rational decision and then declared to the emperor.
“I wish I could help you. And, that would be good for you too.”
“Why?”
“If the Empire helps me, I might forget one thing. “You can stop what you’re doing.”
From Noble mtl dot com
And.
“I may run out of patience and use my supernatural ability right now.”
“… “
“I don’t think it’s a bad offer. I hope you make a decision quickly. “My fiancé could be in danger right now.”
“… Growing up without parents and being rude.”
The Emperor glared at Nadia as if she were going to kill her.
No matter how strong the empire was, it was difficult to easily see the Duke of Berdium.
Because he was afraid of Verdium’s supernatural abilities, he intentionally caused a carriage accident.
It is natural to win against a duke, but the damage is great.
The Emperor decided to surrender his pride just this once.
“… I will provide support. However, I will not forget the attitude you showed to the emperor today.”
“I see. “I just need to find my fiancé.”
Swish-
Because Nadia had achieved her purpose, she immediately turned around and left the imperial palace.
After the emperor, crown prince, and princess who remained at their seats confirmed that Nadia had left, she cautiously opened her mouth.
“Keep an eye on Duke Verdium. And this time, Sinclair Damian got engaged to that b*tch. “Make sure you keep an eye on that man too, Lionel.”
“… “Do you mean me, father?”
“Yes, aren’t we going to the same academy? If he acts suspiciously… “
Try to handle it carefully.
Lionel didn’t like it, but forced himself to nod his head.
“… Yes.”
When he was young, he was an emperor who usually abused him.
In order to obtain the position of crown prince, Lionel persevered.
To one day stand in that emperor’s position.
