chapter 15
Episode 15. Mutuje (10)
Wooddeuk.
“Kuhup, please be gentle.”
“I’m sorry. If we don’t set the bones quickly, we might not be able to heal until tomorrow, so shouldn’t we do it soon?”
Pud Deuk.
“Aagh!”
“Tsk. Why is the guy so mean?”
“Isn’t this just part of it?! To come down and say that you were angry during the game….”
Fast deuk.
“hehehe.”
As if she wasn’t interested in anything I said, the princess silently matched my bones.
This was a bit unfair.
She’s a special move in her own right, and the princess, who just received the bitter technique with her body, is fine, and I, who used the technique, was much more seriously injured.
“Tsk. How could such a weakling use such dangerous techniques? Never use that technique again.”
“… That princess is special. I’ve never heard of a weakling anywhere.”
“Then use it when you are as strong as I am. If I had been a little stronger, my right hand would have disappeared.”
That was not wrong.
If I had used my strength 100%, it would have been obvious that my right hand would have been shattered rather than broken.
It was partly because I couldn’t control it properly, but it was definitely a skill that exceeded the perfection of my body.
“But I won, right?”
“Tsk. I saw you.”
“Yes, you would.”
The princess and I were grumbling at each other, but neither of them looked bad.
Originally like this.
After fighting, we become friends.
“It’s done. Now drink the potion.”
“With potions, it won’t heal until tomorrow.”
“What can I do? Blessed are you.”
The princess looked slightly happy.
Are you a pervert to enjoy being sick?
“Haa…. It’s a pity, but there’s nothing special.”
He took out the small elixir Elias had secretly brought from her pocket the day before and drank half of her bottle.
As soon as she drank it, her arm tickled slightly, and seeing a reaction, it seemed that she would definitely be better by tomorrow.
“Yes, that is… ?”
“Drink. It is an elixir.”
“Elixir!?”
The princess is startled.
Elixir from the legend, she must have been surprised.
“It’s not much, so just eat it. It is less effective than the real elixir.”
“What does that mean? Are you saying this elixir is fake? Then you should drink it….”
“It’s not completely fake, and while it’s not as effective as a legend, it’s much better than the average potion.”
It’s expensive, but the effect is incomparably better than a potion.
Although it doesn’t have as much effect as the legend.
Because I made this in the first place.
“Thank you.”
Only then did the princess accept the elixir from me.
But…. Why don’t you drink
“Don’t you eat?”
“No, this is the one you ate….”
“… I drank it without touching it, so just eat it. You can think of it as a hint.”
“Tsk. Not knowing the human heart….”
The princess insisted on a bit, but she eventually drank the elixir I gave her.
“This…. It works great.”
“Can you feel it?”
“I can feel it. Indeed. Is this an elixir?”
Speak like someone trying Elixir for the first time.
I know she’s already had it twice.
That’s not an elixir that’s close to fake, but an elixir that comes down to real legends.
“Thank you for saying that.”
“… Did you make this too?”
“It was made by my own person.”
“…”
The princess made an absurd expression.
“Whoa. You are a real giant.”
“Thank you for looking into it now.”
“Really. You’re saying the same thing. Since all your points are reduced by your words, which ruler will use you seriously?”
“Only Florence-nim needs to recognize you.”
“…Is this the same for the daughter of the Mayer family?”
“No way. I always send her warm words and her eyes dripping with honey.”
“Ha ha. It’s the first time I’ve seen her envious.”
Honestly, there were many people who could give the princess warm words and eyes dripping with honey.
Who else could show her harsh words and cold eyes to her princess? Even if there was, it would be only the emperor.
“Did you take off her gloves?”
“… Not yet. But…. There is no need for that.”
“If you don’t have to… ?”
“Demonic energy was detected in the monster that killed all of my knights that day. It’s a very small amount, but why didn’t I notice it then….”
“Those monsters…. Did you still have it?”
“I thought that if I caught the perpetrator one day, it would be proof.”
If it was like a princess, she was like a princess.
She never abandons her subordinates. She
She doesn’t give up even after death.
That was the biggest reason I chose the princess.
“Whoa. Now tell me.”
“What do you mean?”
“Future plans. I don’t think you’ll ever say no.”
“…Do you trust me?”
“I got it when I put her fists together. You can believe No, you have to believe it.”
I was surprised this time.
It’s only been two days since we met, and it was only during the exchange of bad words and punches.
“The rumor that I am dividing power with the crown prince is an illusion…. I just realized it, so don’t be too surprised.”
It was as the princess said.
If Hardenberg is on the side of the Crown Prince, then her power is only a quarter of that of the Crown Prince, let alone two.
“You have to play around.”
“How?”
“The eldest son of the Hardenberg family will be seriously injured in the finals.”
“Tsk. I can’t kill you. So what next?”
“The day after the finals, I will be leaving the capital for a while.”
“I see. It will be a fun picture.”
“I will take care of him. The princess should hold on to her master.”
“… Master will never engage in a power struggle.”
“I will give you the method.”
A question came up on the princess’s face again.
“You’re not going to tell me how, you’re going to give me?”
“Yes.”
“What does that mean?”
“On the day I win, please give me a knighthood.”
“It’s a win…. The finals aren’t over yet, but you have great confidence.”
“If I didn’t have that much confidence, I wouldn’t have come forward to the princess.”
“…I believe it.”
What. He couldn’t tell the princess everything right now.
This is a method that even the princess should not know about.
That’s the way she would never approve.
So I have no choice but to let you know after committing.
Because of that, she can’t help it, even if she is a little rejected by the princess.
She can’t let the princess lose to her prince.
“Yes. Are you going to stop talking about work and even marry the Mayer family’s daughter?”
Poohup.
I managed to spit out the water I was about to put into my mouth.
I never imagined that the princess would speak to her with that hwadu.
“We still have fresh hearts for each other.”
“Whoa. The rumors didn’t seem to be true, did they?”
“It is a rumor of children. I have to gain weight.”
“So you’re saying it hasn’t been decided yet?”
“Yes. That’s right.”
There was literally nothing confirmed.
More than anything, the reason why we started dating in the first place is the reason, so I want to believe in Maya Mayer a little bit, but I’m not at the stage where I can be 100% sure yet.
“Huh, I see.”
For some reason, the princess’ expression brightened.
Has the wound healed and made you feel better?
Anyway, it’s time to go.
I have to go back and replenish the bottle of elixir I drank, and I want to wash up and rest.
“May I go?”
“Let’s talk to each other for a while and go. I even gave her treatment, but she has no affection.”
“Ah…. Yes. All right.”
In the end, I was only released after being held by the princess for another hour.
***************
“When did you take the elixir again?”
“As soon as I finished eating last time.”
“Haa…. You can take it anytime, so please tell me.”
“hahahaha. Sorry.”
The operation to secretly take the elixir failed.
I would have thought Elias had memorized all the remaining quantities.
“You can use it as much as you like.”
“Still…. It’s expensive.”
“If people can live without dying with 2,000 gold, that is cheap.”
Elias was right.
If you can save your life with only 2,000 gold, it’s definitely a business that will survive, but I drank two bottles without my life being in danger.
That half bottle was not given to me, but to someone else.
“Nico-sama, you can just drink it when you are sick.”
“… Are you even mind-reading now?”
You can read my heart.
“It’s hard to relate to you because you only talk about it every day, but even if Nico-sama eats 2,000 gold for every meal, no one will say anything.”
“… Anyway, that’s a bit.”
“How much do you think the emperor’s meal costs?”
“Well…. Wouldn’t it be worth 10 gold?”
“… What a commoner idea. At least 300 gold goes out. On days when there is a banquet, even 1000 gold goes out uncommonly.”
“… You eat ridiculously.”
It is an empire where people still starve to death even in the capital.
If that’s the case, to burn 1000 gold for one meal…. The riots that would one day start to make sense.
“Nico makes more money than that emperor. Of course, you can spend more than that, but you can think of 2,000 gold as ‘barely’.”
Even if you have that much money, it doesn’t make much of a difference.
There are too many holes for money to go out.
Even if I earn more in the future, it will increase that much.
“Let’s save it for now. I am still quite satisfied with it.”
“Yes. So please don’t take it secretly.”
“Yes, yes. I get it.”
What. I should write when I write.
“Ah. Tomorrow’s opponent has been decided that Hardenberg is his eldest son.”
“Good. I thought it wouldn’t happen tomorrow.”
“I won’t tell you how much I spent.”
“…Yes.”
Let’s work hard.
I guess that’s the way it should be.
