My childhood friend the hero was genuinely angry

28 – A crony competition without a hero (3)

“Yes…! I’m going to Xerath’s house right now.”

Due to the appearance of Arcena, Lucy felt that she had no place to back down. She felt impatience in her heart, and decided to act according to that feeling.

So she headed to the house where Xerath was, and soon after that, she arrived at Xerath’s house, where she lived in the past.

‘Nothing happened before.’

Since she became queen, she lives apart now because she lives in the palace, but she herself has never lived with Xerath.

Zerath and Lucy lived together as close friends in the past, feeling like they were just living together.

At that time, neither Xerath nor Lucy hoped for an ‘unwanted accident’ to happen, but it was different now.

‘I have to cause an accident…!’

Now Lucy somehow intensely wanted that ‘unwanted accident’ to happen.

She had the idea that it shouldn’t be too late, so she went into Xerath’s house without hesitation.

After she entered the house, she immediately went into Xerath’s bedroom without hesitation.

“Cool cool…”

When I entered the bedroom, Xerath was sleeping soundly.

He must have been tired, he was sleeping so peacefully.

“Okay… Let’s get started.”

Looking at him like that, she glanced at him and swallowed her saliva.

What she was going to do from now on was something that required quite a bit of determination, so Lucy took her heart.

And she got up on the bed to make a relationship today.

“Hmm…But where do I start?”

However, she made up her mind and climbed onto the bed, but she couldn’t help but panic for a moment.

I knew I had to have a relationship, but I didn’t know how to start it.

Should I wake up Xerath first? Or should I start by peeling it off? What should I say after waking up? Now that I think about it, I’m wearing old-fashioned panties…?

And so on, all of a sudden a lot of questions popped into her head, and these were pretty important.

‘This… If I make a mistake like this, they’ll see me as a strange woman…’

She was Lucy, who thought of the problems that were considered insignificant as insignificant.

She wanted to make a good impression on Xerath, so she didn’t want to do anything that would make him look bad.

And more than anything else, Lucy realized that the panties she was wearing were very tawdry, and she couldn’t help but hesitate for a moment.

If it stays like this, she will definitely be able to show off these unassuming panties.

What on earth should I do in a situation like this? Panic beckoned panic, and each time she hesitated more and more.

‘Me too… This is my first time.’

If she had experience, she would have used that experience to get through the difficulties in her troubles, but unfortunately, she had no experience of her own in this kind of thing.

Besides, she had been living as a princess for a long time, and she didn’t have time to really know men, and she herself wasn’t particularly interested in other men, so she had no experience with men.

She pushed herself with momentum, but when she put that momentum aside for a moment and thought about it, she couldn’t help but worry about a lot.

‘No…But what am I doing right now in the first place?’

And in that agony, she finally came to her senses.

If you think about it, isn’t what you’re doing a crime? Come to think of it, breaking into a man’s house and having s*x without asking his consent was tantamount to rape.

No matter how nervous you are, you suddenly want to rape Xerath? Earlier, she came here because of her momentum, but when she thought about it, it was clear that she couldn’t do what she was doing now.

‘Okay… Let’s go back…!’

Because when she is trying to change her mind again and go back to being a normal person with her normal thinking again.

“Huh? The Queen is here too.”

“Hmm…? Holy Maiden?”

I was able to spot a saintess entering Xerath’s room.

The saintess, Arcena, greets herself warmly.

Since she greeted her, she greeted Lucy as if it were natural, but she was soon after that, and it was Lucy who noticed the strangeness of the situation.

“Why is the saintess here?”

“Is that right? Isn’t it obvious? To attack Xerath…!”

Lucy couldn’t help but be surprised when she asked her saintess in embarrassment.

Alkena speaks impure words with a very pure expression.

Because of her, Lucy was properly embarrassed.

No, attacking Xerath…! What the hell does that mean?

Are you serious?

“Okay. Let’s attack together…!”

“That’s not possible. Not asking for consent…!”

Of course, Lucy had no choice but to stop Alkena.

What nonsense are you talking about?

I think I thought that way before, but not now. She had to dry her off now.

It was Lucy who managed to stop her from diving into her Xerath’s bed.

“This is a crime, saint.”

“Um… The Goddess told me to do this…!”

Alkena looks at Lucy and says something troubling.

She gave Lucy a reason why she couldn’t believe it.

No, the goddess ordered it?

A goddess told me to do this?

Is the goddess a crazy pervert?

“No way..!”

“Eh…? Didn’t the Queen come to do that in the first place?”

“Ah… I’m not like that…! No way anyway.”

A lot of thoughts came and went, but in the end it was not possible.

Alkena tries to attack Xerath, and Lucy tries to stop Alkena.

The two women’s night only got longer.

“Everyone is well gathered.”

She had heard from Arcena that the goddess had something to say to this kingdom.

The goddess said that the story was about the kingdom, and that not only me and Alkena but also Lucy should listen.

That’s why I was just about to call Lucy and Alkena over so early in the morning to talk.

“Huh…? Lucy, what happened? You look pretty tired?”

However, the expressions of Lucy and Alkena, who were sitting in their seats, looked pretty bad.

As if they hadn’t slept for several hours, dark circles under their eyes were very thick.

What’s going on? What happened last night? I wanted to ask Lucy.

“Ahahahaha… It’s no big deal. Xerath.”

Lucy replied that it was no big deal.

Her tone and expression seem to be hiding something…

Something must have happened…?

“Alkena, what happened to you?”

I asked Alkena this time.

Because there’s definitely a chance that Arkena knows something.

“Ah. That’s Queen Lucy and Zera…”

“Eup…! Ahahahaha… It’s no big deal. Xerath. We were just talking among the girls last night.”

In the meantime, Lucy panicked and started covering Alkena’s mouth. As if you’re trying to hide something…

Why the hell is that…? Looking at Lucy like that, I was slightly suspicious, but she decided not to ask.

I don’t think it’s such a big deal. Well, there are also conversations between women that men can’t hear.

I think it might be that kind of story.

“Ummm… Anyway, let’s start talking. Again, the reason we’re here today is to hear from the goddess. She said she has something to tell you about our kingdom.”

Anyway, I had to get to the point now.

When I had to listen to the story of the goddess, I once again explained the reason for our gathering, and now it was my turn to hear the reason myself.

The goddess will tell us about the future of Alprada Kingdom, and we had a duty to listen to her.

“Alkena. Start when you’re ready.”

“Yes…!”

I told Arcenna to begin, and then Arcenna began to flash and glow from her body as she answered.

Then, with her shining body, the saintess took her pen and began to write something on her paper.

‘A saint who receives an oracle.’

That was the oracle, the means by which the saintess conveyed the words of her goddess.

The goddess descends directly on the body of her saintess and writes down the words of her god. It was a very special act that could only be done through her saintess, and it was the first time I had seen it myself.

I did know that it was transmitted that way. I heard that when my childhood friend Chloe became a hero, she was chosen by an oracle like that, and she must have seen something like that too.

Anyway, is Chloe supposed to be getting along by now?

I’m sure you’ve been on a business trip and been fighting for a while, but you shouldn’t worry too much.

I’ll be back from a business trip in about half a year. Shall we meet around then?

“It’s done, Mr. Xerath.”

While waiting for the oracle, while I was thinking about my childhood friend after a long time, all the oracles were written.

Arkenna handed me the paper she had written, and it was time for me to read it.

‘What does the goddess really want to convey to me like that?’

A message from the goddess to the kingdom. To be honest, there were some things I was looking forward to, and some things I was worried about.

What is the message the goddess is trying to convey to me?

I read slowly, hoping that the story would not damage the kingdom.

“What…?”

And when I read that.

I couldn’t help but be properly embarrassed from the first line of the oracle.

[Zeras. The empire will perish in half a year.]

The goddess predicted the fall of the empire.
