Chapter 268: 1st Princess Charlia (5)

Of course, the impression itself was not that good.

She continued to smile, but even so, it didn’t mean that her vicious nature would dissipate.

In fact, what stood out more than her face was what she was wearing.

‘How much is all that?’

Upon seeing that she was adorned with all kinds of jewels that anyone would think were gorgeous, my eyes widened.

Rings with large jewels and rings with elaborate carving patterns were placed on her fingers, and the small earrings on her ears were reflected by the light coming through the window and shimmered.

The gorgeous necklace, enough to think that her neck might get stiff, was located in the center of her exposed chest.

The dress she was wearing was not ordinary by any means. It wasn’t a brand I knew, but that was why it was more valuable. It must be a dress made by a famous designer in the kingdom.

What was a little peculiar was that her upper body’s exposure was considerable, but it didn’t feel vulgar.

Overall, I felt like she was being too much, but I couldn’t deny that this suited her well.

As I looked at her, realizing that the introduction was late, I quietly bowed and opened my mouth.

Inwardly, I thought that tens of thousands of hungry people would be able to eat to the fullest by selling just one of the things she was wearing, but there was no way I could show this.

“I’m Lee Kiyoung.”

“Of course, I know you. Honorary Bishop Kiyoung Lee. I’m thinking of having some tea, do you…?”

“Anything simple is fine.”

“You’ve heard it, right?”

“Yes, yes, Your Majesty.”

Charlia looked at the maid to see if she had heard it, and she trembled and answered.

‘By the way, this one also has a brazen-faced…’

Even though she looked like a fool when I first saw her, looking at her pretending to be a normal person was indeed funny.

It didn’t look bad, as it meant that she could at least judge what was right and what was wrong, but it looked ridiculous for the maids.

Contrary to what I thought that I had to wait a bit, two glasses were served along with several kinds of refreshments as soon as the maid went out.

‘It’s very fast.’

Some things had been arranged on the table beforehand, but several maids still stuck to the table.

Unlike their anxious expressions, their body didn’t have an inch of error like a well-trained soldier.

Even though there were already more than ten types of refreshments on the table, more refreshments were constantly popping up.

The maid, pouring tea slowly into an empty cup, looked to be praying for the taste of this tea to suit my taste.

The maid who was pouring the cup to the First Princess seemed to be praying not to make a mistake.

As I naturally raised the cup, as usual, the maids’ faces focused on me.

‘It’s so uncomfortable.’

It was obvious why. They may be wondering if the tea suited my taste.

If I said something negative here, the handmaids’ wrists may be blown away.

As I quietly nodded and opened my mouth, I saw two of them grabbing their chests as I expected.

“It tastes good. Of course, the scent is good, too.”

“I’m glad that it suits your taste. I was worried that it wouldn’t.”

“It’s definitely new, but it’s good. It feels like it calms me down… and it feels like it makes me drowsy, too. There is also a feeling that it’s warming my body.”

“It’s a tea that was brought from the faraway Elven Kingdom.”

“Ohh. Is that so?”

‘Elven Kingdom, my ass.’

When I felt something in my body, I looked at the tea in my hand, and the additives in the tea began to shine.

[Rafflesia’s Petals (Common)]

‘Aphrodisiac.’

It was so ridiculous that I wanted to laugh.

‘This crazy woman.’

Her plan to pretend to call me to express an apology and gratitude was ridiculous.

She used very small amounts to make it inconspicuous, but it was obvious as to what her purpose was.

My heart rate gradually increased, and the woman in front of me suddenly looked more attractive.

As I continued to look at her with the Mind’s Eye, I realized that tea was not the only thing that contained aphrodisiac ingredients.

It was also mixed with Charlia’s body and scent. To put it simply, it was filling up this large room little by little.

I didn’t know if she wanted to take more time to explore each other, but if the quantity was this much, it seemed that she wanted to make me look at her as a woman.

‘Is she influenced?’

Not all crazy girls seemed to be influenced by my unique characteristic, but this Princess seemed to have a pretty big crush on me.

Putting her characteristic aside, she must have heard that I had defended her in front of the Emperor.

‘I guess I can use her…’

However, this method made me uncomfortable.

I wasn’t that much affected because I had a pretty strong immunity to the drug, but seeing her continuously give out suggestive signals was a little annoying.

The scent from her body kept tickling me, and she was attractive enough.

My gaze kept moving toward her chest, and there was also a desire to kiss her vicious face.

However, obviously, I couldn’t do that. Honestly, I didn’t want to get involved in anything other than work with her.

And the Anemone’s eyes that suddenly popped up was bothering me, too.

‘Why are there so many things bothering me?’

However, I had no choice but to keep complaining.

Contrary to me, who had many complex thoughts, Charlia slightly bowed her head as if she felt that things were going well.

“I should have told you this first… I would like to apologize for being rude the other day formally. Of course, I also want to thank you for helping me after that…”

It seems that she received such education as she spoke to me like a graceful royal family. I had to take it in moderation, too.

To her, what happened that day would be a shameful incident that she would want to erase.

However, it would be advantageous to be more honest with each other for future conversations.

“It’s fine. It’s not something to apologize for, and I didn’t give great help to hear this. Anyone can make mistakes… and I’m sure you were having a hard time. No, before that, I can also understand why the Princess couldn’t hold her anger.”

I could see she was disconcerted.

However, as if it was hard to say that she agreed with me, she probably thought that she should start with excuses.

Of course, this was not the kind of reaction I wanted.

“Ah. It’s not that I couldn’t hold my anger… I was too…”

“No. Since the dress you wore for an important party was ruined. It was also because of a maid’s mistake. Of course, I understand. Yes.”

“No, I was having a hard time then… To be precise, it wasn’t that I couldn’t control myself…”

She kept playing coy with me. I had to talk more honestly since she still couldn’t seem to catch the point.

It was because it seemed that she could only understand it by speaking openly.

“Princess, I’m not that good a person.”

“What do you mean…?”

“It literally means that. To be honest, I am a very bad person. Even if you had your maid’s neck cut off at that place that day, I wouldn’t have cared that much. I am a selfish person, and… if only me and the people around me were okay, it didn’t really matter what happens with anybody.”

“… …”

“Oh! I am like Charlia-nim.”

“What does it mean to say that we are the same…?”

“I’m also a person who has to give a disadvantage to the person who has harmed me in some way to be satisfied. I bet, if the same thing happened to me at the party, I could be laughing on the outside, but I’d be thinking differently on the inside.”

“… …”

“It’s hard to hold in one’s anger. In such a situation… you have to pay it back right away when you are annoyed enough. It certainly makes me feel better when I see the person who raised my anger on his knees…”

Despite having said this much, it was a spectacle to see that she was acting coy to the end.

That would be natural. She was suspicious of my intention in saying this.

That wasn’t all. It was a small amount, but seeing that she had used an aphrodisiac, I could at least tell she had a crush on me.

It was not easy to reveal her inner self to such a person.

“I’m joking.”

“Ah… Er, as I heard, you have a great sense of humor.”

She then forced out a laugh.

I quietly put down the tea and spoke once more.

“It seems rude, but… I will be going now.”

“What?”

“I received the words of an apology and gratitude properly and… I have an appointment with the Emperor.”

“S-So quickly…”

“After drinking, the tea doesn’t seem to fit my taste… I will make time again around tomorrow.”

“Ah!”

She seemed disconcerted as I stood up right away.

Seeing that her face was distorted momentarily, it seemed that she found it actually difficult to hold in her anger.

It was obvious. The attitude I had shown right now was downright rude.

Nevertheless, seeing that she still refused to show her true personality, she still must be trying to reel herself in.

It now seemed that she had resentment toward the person who ruined today’s meeting, but I didn’t care.

After getting up and showing good manners, I turned my back and the maids who were waiting outside quickly passed by me and went inside.

The door was firmly closed, and the faces of the maids waiting outside turned pale.

‘They think I ruined it.’

There was no sound from the inside as if soundproofing magic was in place, but I thought I could see what would happen.

She must be screaming, ‘that damn bastard.’

If I weren’t the one she was angry with, I thought she would be pouring her anger elsewhere.

After counting only 10 seconds, I turned around and headed back to the already closed room, and I saw the maids’ faces more embarrassed than before.

“Charlia, Your Majesty! It’s Lee Kiyoung-nim!”

I cast a simple spell that I had memorized beforehand.

“Silence.”

“Mmm!”

I could see the maid touching her neck with no voice.

“Now, w-what rudeness… Honorary Bishop Lee Kiyoung. If you are going to visit the Princess again, I-I will tell your intention to the Princess first.”

Crack! Craaackk!

The dragon’s tail protruding from the floor blocked the mouth of the maid trying to speak.

When I opened the Princess’s room door with my own hands, I saw the scenery I expected.

The first thing I heard was the voice of the Princess.

Slap!

I’ve heard it before came along with the voice of a terrified maid.

“I told you… I told you to make sure there weren’t any mistakes in serving the guests. I’ve said that again and again! Didn’t I! Say it! He’s an important guest!”

“K-Kill me. Please kill me, Your Majesty.”

“All right! If that’s your wish… Ah.”

The splendid event that took place in less than a minute after I went outside is a spectacle.

One of the maids who entered had already red cheeks, and the one who was on her face was rubbing her palms.

The Princess, who couldn’t figure out what to do while looking at them and with me alternately, looked embarrassed.

In the silence that entered the room for a moment, I gradually opened my mouth.

“My prediction was correct. No matter how I think, the Princess and I seem to be the same.”

Of course, that crazy woman and I were not the same kinds of trash.

‘We’re not the same. Absolutely. I’m not that trashy.’
