chapter 242
242 – Sephilia
Sephilia Ulysseus Kindel von Orserk.
As the only princess of the empire, her life was boring.
She got bored easily no matter what she did, and no matter what she learned, she quickly mastered it and became bored.
Even when I ate food that people said was delicious, I wasn’t particularly impressed.
Even when I saw the beautiful natural scenery, my emotions did not change.
No matter what she did, the princess did not find it fun.
“I heard that there is a famous storyteller. “How about she call him?”
Accordingly, the court ladies tried to solve the princess’s long-standing boredom.
She called several storytellers and had them tell stories.
They even called a clown and showed him in front of the princess.
She even brought in the man she said was the most handsome man in the empire and showed him his beautiful face.
When the princess became an adult, she even brought her pornographic books.
Her court ladies felt affectionate towards the princess who had such a lovely appearance and was so responsible.
In the end, all the court ladies’ attempts failed.
This was because the princess was so unimpressed that it was a miracle to make her laugh even once.
“Oh! “Unnii!!”
But there was only one person who made the princess happy.
Grand Wizard Elena.
The princess sits on her lofty throne and views the world with her bored eyes, but when she sees Elena, she turns into an immature girl.
Come, come, come down from her throne, run to her at once, and fall into her arms.
She is very pampered, like a puppy meeting its owner, and shows her happiness with her whole body.
“Woongni! Why are you so quiet these days? “I thought I was going crazy waiting!”
“Khehehe… You spoiled brat. “I’ve been a little busy these days.”
“Chi. Next time, take me with you.”
“He too. Are you busy too? “Whenever you whine that you’re too busy.”
“Aw… That’s right. Ha. I really don’t want to do this. “Why is so much work being done on me!”
Sephilia is complaining in an irritated tone.
Elena smiled happily and looked at her princess.
She gently pulled her swollen cheeks and spoke as if admonishing her.
“To rule the empire, you have to work constantly~~~ Empress.”
“Ahh, that’s good”
“Phew. “Shall we go for lunch?”
“····Ungh.”
The princess had no expression on her face for the entire week without Elena, but expressed various emotions as soon as she appeared.
This is because Elena is a special being.
No matter how much I look into it, or even if I use my magic eye…
The only person who cannot look into his head.
Every object in the world and the essence of every human being can be seen through the magical eye.
Only Elena couldn’t even look into it.
Because of this, I felt a strong attraction to Elena, whose true nature I could not tell, and I became more and more fascinated, and now I desperately wanted it.
Please don’t let Elena’s own magic eyes work.
I don’t want her thoughts and feelings to be read like other boring people.
“Mmm~! Is this place delicious? “The fries are really good.”
“hehehehe. That’s right. Delicious.”
More than anything, she felt like her own abilities were suppressed a little when she was around Elena.
The moment she saw food, the princess automatically knew everything from its composition to its ingredients.
When she is next to Elena, she can enjoy the meal as it is, looking blurry.
Because of this, the world where everything seemed trivial and fake felt like the real world when I was with Elena.
Color blooms in her previously colorless life, and emotions appear on her expressionless face.
I can’t even imagine life without Elena.
“But…was she with Count Fix this time too?”
But recently.
There is one more person who keeps bothering me.
His name is Edgar Fix.
At first, I was just interested in him because he was quite a unique being, but as time went by, I found myself thinking about him more and more.
Above all, before I visited the elf kingdom, I could see through the magical eye to a certain extent, so I was not as special as Elena.
After returning from what happened in the Elven Kingdom, I can’t read thoughts and emotions even when I look through my magical eyes.
I hadn’t read it well in the past, but this was the first time since Elena that I couldn’t read it at all.
“Count Fix? Ah. You’re talking about Ed. Well, we were together. I went with him just in case anything went wrong, but I just did research. “The Grand Duke family took care of it well.”
·····Children of the Grand Duchy.
The princess quickly picked up her fork with a slightly annoyed expression.
She immersed herself in the steak, picked up the knife and roughly cut the meat.
I thought of Ed and the Archduke’s children chatting harmoniously while chewing meat.
Why does that sweet and harmonious appearance become so irritating?
‘Insolent. I don’t even care. Even though I gave them room several times.’
The reason why I feel so irritated when I think of Ed and the Grand Duke’s self-control.
In fact, the princess knew the reason well.
Even though I am superior in status, beauty, and personality (in my opinion).
This is because Edgar Fix only cares about the children of the Archduchy.
Even though he himself expressed interest in Edgar Fix first.
‘I was the one who put him in her academy at her older sister’s request. I am also the one who supported her donations. He was also responsible for establishing policies that allowed for the construction of dreadnought battleships. I was the one who gave him all the support to help him grow. ‘You don’t respond to my favor?’
The more I thought about it, the more disgusting it became.
Of course, by supporting Ed, she was able to fill the royal family’s treasury and elevate the empire’s status to an unprecedented level.
It is a public matter.
For Ed, the ‘affection’ that passes between individuals did not exist.
If you are a relationship that has grown while seeking mutual benefit for nearly 4 years.
Shouldn’t we be close enough to eat at least once often?
Or your natural status and beautiful appearance.
And is it difficult for you because you feel distant from his outstanding ability?
If that’s the case, he might be viewed as quite cute, but I don’t think he would think that way if Edgar Fix was as mysterious as a 1,000-year-old fox.
-Wow! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Furthermore, I recently heard that he is dating a girl from the ruined Verdian family.
After conducting a separate investigation, I found out that just three years ago, an unsightly nobleman with no special looks was ranked at the bottom of the academy.
-Wow! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Ha.
This is really funny.
Of course, now it is Charlotte Verdian who has been reborn as an indispensable talent for the empire and is called the ‘Miracle of Verdian’.
Her own abilities and beauty are never inferior to that child.
Besides, she doesn’t fight in battle herself, so no one knows.
The Orserk family never loses against humans.
In the first place, since you have the power of the Magic Eye to look into the opponent’s head and even stop time, you cannot dare to say that you have overcome the Orserk family by force.
Of course, the only exceptions are Elena and Edgar Fix, whose magic eye abilities do not work.
No matter what, considering her strength, she has already risen to the rank of the strongest.
“Hey… Sephy? “Is something bad happening?”
At that time.
The princess’s thoughts were scattered by Elena’s words of concern for her.
The princess was startled and said she thought it was no big deal.
Elena lifted the napkin with her telekinesis and began wiping the corners of her princess’s mouth.
“What were you thinking eating her steak so combatively? It was all on her mouth. “This Chilchil.”
“······.”
The princess blushed as Elena wiped her mouth.
The princess liked being cared for like this.
She lost her mother from the time she was born, and before she knew it, her father, who had loved her, no longer gave her love.
“Hey…But Sephy. Actually, I think I’ll just have lunch and then go again.”
At that time, news like a lightning bolt reached the princess’s ears.
She is my older sister whom I haven’t seen in a while.
I can’t believe I’m going to eat just this.
“······So busy? “It’s been a really long time since we met like this.”
“Please understand. It’s time. “People’s lives depend on it.”
······.
Of course, I know.
A devastating disaster has struck the entire world.
There is a crisis in the survival of humanity that requires moving the entire country.
So, Edgar Fix, my sister, and the princes of the four directions.
Everyone is busy preparing for this era of upheaval.
In the end, public opinion that the way to survive was to be subordinated to the empire that Edgar Fix was protecting led countries and organizations around the world to want to be subordinated to the empire.
I was busy taking care of all the work related to it.
Everyone is busy, and pampering her older sister at a time like this is an act of self-respect as a princess.
“···Okay. “There’s nothing I can do.”
The princess nodded her head with the feeling of swallowing her stone.
I tried to pretend I was okay while eating a steak that tasted like paper.
The world that was full of colors began to turn black and white again.
“I’m sorry Sephy! Next time, let’s take some time and play all day!”
“····Yes.”
That’s how my sister left.
The princess’s sparkling eyes quickly turned dark.
Before long, she returned to her own office.
“Your Highness. “I brought you a stone table (dinner).”
That’s how I handle official affairs.
It was already evening.
The princess glanced at her court lady who was carrying her award and spoke in an indifferent tone.
“I will skip it. “Please accept the award.”
“····Ha, it’s been a few days already—”
“Get bitten.”
As the princess’s eyes turned red, the court lady’s body trembled.
Eventually, the court lady paid her respects and retreated behind her.
After reviewing the pile of documents again, the princess put the royal family’s seal on the documents that were acceptable.
She added the reason to her document that was not
And handed it over to the secretary.
As she processed the documents, it was time to meet her state guests.
So, it is a time to meet in person the royal family or high-ranking ministers of other countries who are visiting the empire.
“I meet the princess of the Holy Empire. “I am Imahal, the prince of the Kingdom of Asrahal.”
Just like that, the princess saw the prince who introduced himself as Imahal.
He has a pretty handsome face and outstanding abilities, and his eyes shine with confidence.
She just seemed insignificant to the princess.
This is because you can see all the power and thoughts he has.
‘As I heard, she’s a pretty fair b*tch.’
A prince evaluating his own face and body.
The corners of the princess’s mouth quirked up.
This is because he is also an authoritative and dominant royal family.
Usually, royal family members who believe that their abilities are outstanding and have high self-esteem often harbor such arrogant thoughts.
“·····Imahal. I’ve heard that name before. “He is the hero called the Pillar of Asrahal, right?”
“hahahaha. It’s embarrassing, but I’m called by that nickname. “I’m honored that you recognized me.”
“Just as I heard, I can feel the spirit of the leader. Please sit down.”
“Yes.”
Imahal sat on the chair with a formal gesture.
After catching a glimpse of the beautiful princess’s appearance, Ima Hal embraced her dark intentions without even knowing that the princess was reading his thoughts.
‘I want to fall in love sometime. I’m quite looking forward to seeing that proud face panting underneath me.’
“That doesn’t happen.”
But at the princess’s next words, Imahal’s expression hardened.
He was startled and asked in a raspy voice.
“···Yes, yes?”
“···hehehehe. No. Rather, I want the Kingdom of Asrahal to be subordinated to the empire.”
“······Ah. Yes. Yes, that’s right.”
“So, what are the conditions? “Instead of obediently entering the imperial territory, the conditions you put forward are.”
He cleared his throat once and quickly gathered his thoughts.
When they ask for something, they run a simulation of how the princess will respond and prepare for all situations.
“First of all, please give me permission to be the first to negotiate with Count Fix.”
That’s how Imahal began to see the deal.
The kingdom of Asrahal, which has not yet been invaded, asserts what benefits it will receive if it passes over to the empire while preserving its strong military power and funds.
“That would be difficult.”
“This is an absurd claim.”
“If that’s the case, there is no reason for the empire to accept you.”
However, Imahal was blocked by the splendid speech of the Princess of Jokjok.
In the first place, there was no way a discussion could take place between the princess, who could read Imahal’s intentions and thoughts, and Imahal, who could not.
The princess is unilaterally suppressing this.
‘Contrary to what it looks like, the words you speak are not good. On the topic of a b*tch, me like this—’
“It would be best to stop those dirty thoughts at this point.”
Prince Imahal, who could not fulfill any of the demands, insulted the princess in his heart.
The princess immediately drew her weapon.
He glared at Prince Imahal with his eyes turning red.
“Imahal. Haven’t you ever heard that? “In front of the Orserk royal family, you must not even think about it.”
“······Well, what is that…”
“Did you think you would get away with insulting her real wife? “How dare you discuss my wife and her state affairs with such a dirty mind?”
“Oh, it’s unfair! What kind of diplomatic disrespect is this…! I just—”
“How did you know?”
“······?”
“What, are you reading my thoughts?”
“·····!!”
“What is this b*tch? How do you read my thoughts? This is ridiculous—”
The princess shows off her abilities by reciting Prince Imahal’s inner thoughts.
Soon, the embarrassed Prince Imahal stood up, and the princess glared at him.
The power of the Demon Eye was activated and Prince Imahal was completely bound.
“Sit down.”
-Lots!
Prince Imahal lost control of his body after being caught in the devil’s eye.
He looked at the princess with her terrified face.
This opportunity gave Prince Imahal a clear understanding of how the Orserk clan reigned as the strongest clan on the continent.
“You have two options left. You will be imprisoned in a dungeon, completely losing the honor and status you have built up for insulting her true wife. The other is to agree to all the requirements of her original daughter and become a slave to her empire. “Take your pick.”
The princess said that and held out the documents she had prepared in advance.
All contract details were prepared in a document so that all you had to do was sign.
“Ah… Ah… This… It’s like handing over the entire kingdom to the empire…”
“All the foreign countries subjugated here have agreed. “Even if you don’t ask for anything, the empire has already made preparations to return as much as it received.”
“······But, but…”
“Would you choose the former? Good night. In return for daring to insult her true maid, I will shut down her mana and imprison her in her dungeon. Even without negotiations like this, there are many ways to absorb the Kingdom of Asrahal.”
The princess said that and snapped her fingers.
Then Prince Asrahal stood up and started taking off his clothes.
Of course, it was not his will, but was forced to move by the Demon Eyes.
“Yo, yo, please forgive me…!”
Prince Imahar, who was frightened by the princess’s threats, immediately apologized and gave in to his wishes.
After signing the contract as the princess instructed, she put on her clothes and retreated out of her reception room.
The princess, who had a slight headache from using her strength, touched her forehead for a moment.
But there were still state guests left to attend.
The piled up work was like a mountain.
“Her Royal Highness.”
But then.
The lady waiting outside her door called her.
Perhaps she was asking whether it would be okay to let her waiting guests inside.
“They—”
“Count Fix wishes to treat the princess alone.”
I was about to order them to come in, but I heard unexpected news.
Count Fix came to visit him?
“····Edgar Fix?”
“Yes. They say they have something important to say… but since they are executing state affairs, later…”
“····No.”
“······.”
“Go ahead. “In addition, we will conclude the reception of the state guest and continue tomorrow morning.”
“·····Yes.”
Just like that, the door to the reception room opened and Edgar Fix appeared.
The princess, who was displeased with Ed, who had not shown her nose even once, immediately activated her magical eyes and gave Ed a forced command.
I asked him to come to me and apologize, saying he was sorry.
“Meeting Her Highness the Princess.”
But Edgar Fix is obnoxiously elegant.
I just said hello with a gesture that was neither excessive nor insufficient.
The princess’s heart began to pound.
