157. Summary (3)
In the end.
It was decided that the princess would be handled by the crown prince.
Although it was my arbitrary decision.
Fortunately, there was no major backlash after that.
‘The princess will lose her life in front of the citizens of the empire.’
And.
We had to stay in Orcia for a while, waiting for the crown prince to quickly finish organizing the empire.
It is said that it is still a long way to go home and rest without the threat of death.
‘Still, it’s been a while since I’ve been here, so let’s see what’s changed.’
I came to Orcia, which is already difficult to get to, so I should take a look around.
We also need to check how well Charlotte is doing.
I left the room I was assigned and walked down the palace hallway to head outside.
“All traces of the past king have been removed.”
The gold-plated walls were gone, and the many unnecessary decorations were gone.
Unlike before, the light was reflected and did not sting the eyes.
I thought it was a very good phenomenon by my standards.
“… “I see you’re doing well, Charlotte.”
The marquess of the empire was praising the king of another country and heading outward.
At the exit of the palace, a person was seen arguing with the knights.
“Ssi, I’m going out! “Why are you blocking me?”
“King Charlotte ordered that no one be sent out for security reasons… “
“It’s hot and it’s irritating, but it’s making me more irritated? If you had met me a long time ago, you would have died! See!”
Blue hair that is easily visible from afar.
It was Bluebell.
‘Why is he doing that again?’
I sighed and walked towards the arguing Bluebell.
“What’s going on again, Bluebell?”
“Ah, Damian! No, these bastards say I want to go out, but they say no for safety reasons!”
“Why do you want to leave?”
“I have nothing to do anyway. “If you come to another country, shouldn’t you at least go sightseeing?”
I will pick mulberries while I am here.
Is that what it means?
“It’s fun.”
“What?”
“Because I have the same thoughts. “I was just about to leave.”
I said to the guards guarding the exit, showing the sword at my waist.
“I would be worried if he went out alone. I have a sword and I can fight. Is it okay if I go out?”
“… I know you were hurt. Could you please take out your sword and take a stance?”
“… “
Charlotte.
I gave you a good education.
To tell you the truth, I cannot lift my sword higher than a certain height due to my injury.
‘Should I go back and find another exit?’
While I was thinking about what to do for a while.
The sound of neat shoes was heard from across the hallway.
“I came here because he wasn’t in the room. “It looks like something is wrong, Damian.”
“Nadia!”
I came to the right place at the right time.
I immediately ran to Nadia and explained the situation.
Nadia understood what the situation was and spoke to the guard.
“Is it okay if you come with me? “You probably know my rumors well.”
“… “You may go.”
“Yes, it’s a wise choice.”
Do you remember Nadia’s face and her actions?
The security guard got out of the way and broke into a cold sweat.
Luckily, we were able to go out without incident.
“… “I’m not particularly grateful.”
“I don’t want to receive that either.”
The two people exchanged words that I couldn’t understand.
‘But, it’s a bit awkward to leave Yuri behind.’
I originally tried to go out alone, but I ran into Bluebell.
Nadia came next.
If this happens, it seems like it would be better for everyone to go out together.
For the sake of harmony to prevent unnecessary fights.
I stopped for a moment and spoke to Nadia and Bluebell.
“I’ll bring Yuri for a moment. “I can’t leave you alone.”
“No, Damian. “You don’t have to.”
However.
Nadia said, stopping me.
“She has something to do.”
“What happened?”
“I wonder if they want to make sure they are dealt with, they say they will keep an eye on the crown prince until the end. “I said I’d be back in the evening.”
“… “
It looks like Yuri has a lot of ill feelings toward the princess.
Well, it’s worth it.
I took the steps I had stopped and headed outside.
To see the change with my own eyes.
***
Change.
Change is a process.
Just like a caterpillar becomes a cocoon and eventually becomes a butterfly.
Whether it is material or immaterial.
The process of changing any form or nature is called change.
Then, here is a question for you.
‘Don’t people change?’
Some people think they can do it.
On the other hand, there are people who think they cannot do it.
I see the saying that people don’t rewrite is often used.
I guess most people think they can’t change.
But the person who uses such words thinks to himself.
From Noble mtl dot com
‘Unlike those people, I can change. It has actually changed.’
In the first place, the very idea of rewriting a person is selfish.
You just judge that person and try to control them as you want.
I also didn’t know that fact, but through the evil woman, I realized that it was a wrong action.
Anyway, back to the main topic.
‘Don’t people change?’
Of course, people who do not change. Some people cannot change.
Problems of environment, timing, and personality.
Nevertheless, if you go into detail, everything is changing.
You may not be aware of it, but people are beings who live and change.
‘Nadia, Bluebell, Yuri, Charlotte.’
They all changed too.
Escape from the dark past, present, and future.
Now he can walk on his own without me.
‘… Of course, if I’m not there, there’s a high chance that things will go in a strange direction.’
When I think about it, I think it would be appropriate to describe them as a kind of lighthouse.
Because people cannot change alone.
Maybe that’s why I came to this world.
Please be a lighthouse for the evil women wandering in the darkness.
‘Well, I don’t know for sure.’
I had a delusion like that once.
And, I decided to think about it that way.
I am also satisfied with this life.
***
“Damian.”
“Huh?”
“What are you thinking like that?”
“No, I was just thinking for a moment.”
“Hmm, I see.”
Nadia thought I wouldn’t answer, so she withdrew her attention.
Still, her mouth was itching as if she was curious.
“… Shall I tell you?”
“I won’t give any specifications.”
Bluebell, who was next to us, also helped.
“What is it? “I’m curious, so tell me quickly.”
“That’s right… “
I told Nadia and Bluebell what I thought.
Leaving out the story about how I fell into this world (this story is especially bad for Bluebell’s sentiments).
And, about your thoughts on change.
Nadia and Bluebell gave a simple answer to that.
“That’s an interesting idea, Damian. There are people who don’t change as you say, and there are people who change. However, the essence of that person will not change no matter what you do. That part is the same for me, Damien, and Bluebell.”
But.
“I think everything except the essence can be changed. Like me. I haven’t changed yet. “I still want to tie you up, Damien.”
“That’s a bit…” “
“I will be gentle, unlike before. “You don’t have to worry that much.”
I am very worried.
A little cold sweat broke out on my forehead.
“Hmph, that’s not wrong.”
Bluebell spoke after Nadia.
“People change. I changed when I met Damian, and Damian also changed when he met me. It’s hard alone, but things can change when you’re with Damian. Even that sh*tty future has changed. Is not it?”
“That is correct.”
“Do I have any intention of changing? “I think that’s the most important thing.”
So, what do you mean?
“Hey, Damian.”
“Uh.”
“Let’s change too.”
“I… ?”
“Yes, you. Who else but you?”
He doesn’t like something about me.
Is Bluebell trying to change me?
She held my arm and looked up at me.
“You need to change. Especially about my fiancé.”
“What is that-“
“Honestly, shouldn’t you think about it carefully?”
What should I do with my fiancé?
And, who will you marry?
“Nadia, she already lost all her points with her mother.”
“… “
“I think your mother is also seriously thinking about getting engaged again. “Shouldn’t you decide this time, not your mother?”
Today, I wanted to look around the city peacefully.
A big problem has occurred.
It feels like something big will happen.
“Who are you, who are you engaged to, and who do you want to marry? Answer seriously. “What are your real thoughts?”
Bluebell’s sudden question.
And, a situation where you have to answer unconditionally with no place to run.
In that desperate situation, I answered in a more serious tone than ever.
“… Sorry.”
“I’m sorry… I said… ?”
Bluebell’s eyes look shocked.
I continued immediately.
“I’m sorry, Bluebell.”
“You… “
“Give up… “I don’t think I can do it.”
How can you choose just one person?
I wish I had guided the wandering ship to the lighthouse.
It must be a port where people can settle down.
“I am responsible for all of you… I will marry everyone… “
My sincere answer is.
“You’re out of your mind, Damien.”
“You crazy bastard. “Just die.”
Of course it couldn’t work.
They have a strong desire to monopolize and possess, so they form a harem.
Will you accept it?
I will definitely oppose it.
So, I thought of one more method.
“Then, I won’t get married.”
“Hmm?”
“I knew from the beginning. “Are you really crazy, Damien?”
As Bluebell said, it is a crazy method.
However, this is the only way to save everyone.
To do something crazy…
“I don’t know, I’m not getting married.”
I had to become a crazy person.
***
Late evening.
Yuri sent the princess away.
I went into her room and talked about what happened at lunch.
“Rice, change… I have changed too… Thanks to Damian… “
“Right?”
“Well, but one thing doesn’t change… I will always be Damian’s friend… Damian comes first… I like Damien… I love Damian… ”
“Wait a minute, that’s it.”
It seemed like there would be no end, so I stopped in the middle.
Anyway, Yuri said that there are some things that do not change.
And, she also talked about the most important thing: marriage.
Yuri’s answer to that was cold.
“Umm… I see… That’s Damian’s idea… ?”
“Yes, that’s my idea.”
“Okay… ? Umm… Damian… To be honest… “
I don’t think it’s good…
No matter what Damian said…
“I don’t think that’s right… “
Yuri whispered in a low voice.
However, the chill inside was real.
I felt like there was a sincere warning behind the ambiguous tone that said it was not true.
‘If you do…’ Not really… You know what I mean… ?’Such as.
“I’m a bit of the opposite… “
Yuri’s unique way of speaking with warnings.
I flinched slightly at that answer.
‘I almost died, but I can’t change this situation?’
Because it was right after I gained some confidence.
I immediately straightened my back.
If I don’t succeed in creating a harem anyway, I’m as good as dead.
