NOVEL NEXT chapter 34
34 – Stray Cat Elf Girl (2)
“My father and I have a father-daughter relationship. So lose—”
“What nonsense is that!!”
What was it that made you so angry?
Sister Irene began yelling at Syrel with a rare feverish face.
“Sister calm down. Cheryl, be quiet too.”
I tidied up the cluttered hall and glanced at Sirel at my sister.
“Anyway, now that we know her situation, we can’t leave her alone.”
Sister glares at Sirell and nods reluctantly.
“That would be it. If we pretended not to know her later on, the Grand Duke of the North may feel sorry for her. I already have a bad relationship with the North… .”
I talked about Sirel itself, but it seems that my sister had more in mind the relationship with the Grand Duke of the North.
‘I don’t think the Grand Duke of the North, Sanael, would be particularly sad about leaving Syrel unattended.’
In the first place, she, the mother herself, threw her daughter roughly.
Anyway, I suggested it to such an older sister again.
“How about leaving Sirel in the imperial castle for the time being?”
“Well… Like you said, that would be fine.”
“However, as you can see, her behavior is so unusual that I am worried about what will happen if she is left alone in the guest house. So by the way… .”
“… ?”
Sister Irene tilted her head and looked up at me.
I hesitated a little and asked my sister.
“Could you keep her in the palace for the Crown Princess until the Grand Duke of the North comes out of the Sky Tower or until Syrel’s entrance into the academy begins?”
“… … what?”
Sister Irene made a disgusted face.
Then Cheryl intervened from the side.
“I want to sleep with my dad.”
“How can that be!!”
In the end, her sister reluctantly nodded at Syrel’s appearance.
“Legid, since it’s your request, I can’t help it… .”
“thank you. sister.”

after that
Fortunately, Sirell was able to safely pass the swordsmanship exam.
‘If it’s her skills, she’ll probably pass.’
It was time for the sun to go down.
Most of the academy entrance exams scheduled for today are over, and the applicants in the premises are leaving like the ebb tide.
We also rode in Irene’s wagon exclusively for the crown princess.
My sister had been teaching Syrel while talking hard about something.
“You see? Never use the word dad in front of others. No, just forget about it.”
“Then brother?”
The body is a grown adult, but the mental world is like an innocent child who does not know the world.
Looking again, I couldn’t find the image of ‘Crazy Dog Sirel’ from the previous episode.
In the meantime, the carriage passed through the main gate of the imperial castle and started running within the vast site inside.
“Sister, this direction… ?”
I thought they would take me from my detached palace, Geumhwa Palace, but I’m going to the wrong place.
‘Is this the princess’s palace?’
Sister Irene smiled lightly and invited me.
“Would you like to have dinner at my palace after a long time?”
“That would be nice too. thank you.”
Since she took care of me in many ways today, it would be appropriate to share a meal with her.
Sherrell muttered abruptly, as if talking to herself.
“Bossam kidnapping… .”
“No!!”
Accompanied by her sister’s nagging, the carriage soon stopped in front of the princess’s palace.
“Legid, the room you used as a child remains.”
‘Come to think of it, when I was young, there were many days when I played, ate, and slept together in my sister’s palace.’
It was a childhood event when the body was not yet grown.
I got off the carriage and entered the princess’s palace, but hesitated.
I looked back at Feria, the escort knight who had followed me silently.
“Sir Peria, you can leave work today.”
“Yes… ?”
Peria returns with a surprised face.
“Anyway, if we talk about this and that over a meal, the night will be late.”
“Then even more… .”
“Isn’t today the day Lilia took the entrance exam? You too should get off work early and have a delicious dinner with your sisters.”
“it’s okay! I’ll wait!”
Seruk… .
Sister Irene crossed her arms with me and leaned beside me in a natural way.
With a pleasant smile, my sister admonishes Peria well.
“Sir Peria? I understand your concerns, but you don’t have to push yourself that far. Regid, I will ‘take good care of it and send it back to the Golden Palace’. You just have to trust me.”
“Ha, but… .”
Feria reluctantly decided to leave work after successive persuasion from my sister and me.
She turns back over and over again to see me standing with her sister.
‘Because I’m a workaholic after all.’
If it were me, I would have run straight home and had a beer.
Anyway, I sent Feria away and moved into my sister’s palace with Sirell.
To greet us, the maids of the Imperial Palace moved busily.
The imperial family of the Kazidum Empire usually fixes the servants of each palace according to the gender of the owner.
It was a custom and tradition before the cataclysm 300 years ago that the servants of the princess’s palace were women.
On the other hand, the fact that the servants of the imperial palace are men is a custom newly added after 300 years.
Since it was still only 300 years since the cataclysm, it can be seen that the customs and values of the past and present are in a state of confusion.
‘Anyway, is this the room I used to use in the past… .’
Sister Irene made it for me, who came to visit the princess’s palace from time to time.
I headed towards the room of memories.
After reminiscing about the old days there, I got a call that the meal was ready.
.
.
.
I sat across from Irene in a restaurant.
The dining table was smaller than the usual large and long square.
This is a special custom table made with my sister and I in mind when we dine together.
On one side of it, as if it were a hedgehog, Sirel was sitting odokani.
‘It’s an unusual sight.’
“I told the chef that he prepared a lot of things Regid likes.”
“thank you. sister.”
As you can guess from the ice cream gourmet, the older sister’s tongue was quite sensitive and the sensitivity was very high.
I’m looking forward to hearing that such a sister specially prepared it.
Sirel bowed her head toward her sister.
“Hwang Tae-nyeo. thank you for this food.”
“Oh my goodness.”
My sister made a slightly surprised face at her polite appearance, which was different from her usual behavior.
“It seems the Grand Duke hasn’t given up on education at all.”
It’s just a pre-ceremony greeting, such an evaluation.
This is a scene where you can see how low Shirel’s evaluation is from inside sister Irene.
anyway… .
The meal that followed was enjoyable.
I ate food happily while recalling old memories with my sister after a long time.
Sherrell, who ate only pigeon meat every day, is excited about luxurious food for the first time in a while and pushes the food.
After a delicious meal like that, I was in the middle of drinking tea after dinner.
Suddenly, older sister Irene hesitantly opened her mouth to me.
“Legid, it’s already late.”
“okay. The meal was so much fun that I didn’t even notice the time passing.”
Looking at the clock, it was already late at night.
My sister glanced at me and cautiously suggested it.
“It was late, and it had been a long time since I came to my sister’s palace… … I’d rather sleep tonight… , How about going to bed? Because your room is the same. Oh, by the way, take a warm bath before that. I received a good bath bomb as a gift not too long ago—”
Cheryl, who was sitting next to me, sipped tea and widened her eyes.
“Sensible feeling… .”
“What is suspicious about it!! It is the law of nature!!”
I was grateful for the suggestion of my older sister, who was concerned about her younger brother’s fatigue, but I had no choice but to shake my head.
“Thank you for your words, but I will go back anyway. There are still things to do.”
You can’t miss the nightly psionic training in the underground training hall of my palace.
Even after that, my sister recommended it several times and then reluctantly nodded.
“I can’t help it. So next time be sure… .”
“Yes. I will.”
Beside her, Sirel murmurs indistinctly.
“A life of death.”
After a while, I got on the carriage given by my sister and prepared to return.
Sirel waved her arms high at me at the entrance of the Crown Princess’ Palace and saw me off.
“Princess oppa, I’ll wait!”
“Be quiet!”
“Aww.”
Leaving behind my sister’s screams and a honeymoon, I returned by carriage to my detached palace, Geumhwa Palace.
“Prince!!”
Little maid Nia ran to greet me with a worried face.
“I received a message from the crown princess’s palace, but I was worried because I didn’t know when she would come!”
“guy.”
I patted Nia on the head and stepped inside the palace.
stop.
Then I stopped walking and stared at the shadow behind the pillars of the villa.
“Come out.”
“… … .”
Ssuk… . From the shadows, someone wearing a black robe appeared.
“Hee!”
Nia, who was next to me, stepped back with a startled face.
I frowned slightly as I saw the person appearing in front of me.
‘The Emperor’s Shadow Guard… .’
A special organization under the emperor’s direct control, which is constantly rumored to be in charge of domestic and foreign intelligence, various operations, and even assassination.
The robed man took a few steps closer.
Under the moonlight in the night sky, a plain silver mask sneaks up.
“Excuse me. Your Highness Regid.”
It was a woman’s voice with a low tone.
He or she bent over me slightly.
“This is a call from His Majesty to come find me immediately.”
“… … .”
the emperor me… ?
I asked, tilting my head towards the Shadowguard agent.
“what brings you here?”
She said politely, once again bowing to me.
“sorry. I just didn’t know because I was ordered to bring them.”
Late at night with the moon rising high.
Guided by the Shadow Guard agent, I started moving through the shadows of the buildings within the Imperial Castle.
