Taming Her Highness the Princess

3 – For you, not you (2)

Looking at Baldure’s face as she collapses on the floor and is engulfed in fear, old memories slowly come to mind. An annoying and pathetic memory.

Baldure is a person who tricked the princess Irea into taking pills made from ground Lyreica roots as health supplements under the direction of the Red Moon Saint, a group of heretics who would destroy the world in the future.

The root of Lyreica, which grows wild in swamps, acts as a weak sleeping pill on the surface, but if you dig deep into it, it makes the user’s blood muddy.

If you continue to take it, you will not only get tired all the time, but your magical achievement will also decrease. You will have a congenital magical disorder.

‘It took me a long time to discover this.’

Although the amount of Lyreica root contained in the pills Baldure gave to the princess was very small, at that time, I did not expect that the Jeokwolseong would dare to reach out to the imperial family.

As time passed and I realized the symptoms of the princess’ abnormality, I summoned soldiers and succeeded in arresting Baldure and the remnants, but at that point the princess already had her magical disorder.

Moreover, after hearing the news that Baldure had been caught, the executive of Jeokwolseong disappeared without a word, so I suddenly became a dog chasing chickens.

‘So this time… ….’

The plan was to prevent the princess from becoming addicted to drugs in advance, and to arrest and interrogate the enemy Wolseong executive who carried out this alteration.

In order to do that, we need Baldure’s cooperation, whether we like it or not. Therefore, killing Baldure had to be postponed until later.

“I have a total of three questions. If you answer honestly and without lies, no harm will be done, so there is no need to worry too much.”

“Go, Young master. What are you saying I did wrong? Ah, even Prince Jenial will not be able to forgive such an act of violence!”

I let out a sigh. I got up from my seat on the table and hit Baldure’s face with my shoe. Puck! Blood spurts from Baldure’s mouth with a dull noise.

“Ouch…… !”

Bal Dure hurriedly covered his mouth and let out a cough. Blood mixed with saliva flowed from between his fingers, but none of my business.

Sitting on the chair, I took out a handkerchief from the table and wiped my bloody shoes. Every nook and cranny to make sure all of his vulgar blood is gone.

“I must have said it earlier. To answer honestly and without lies. Are my words difficult to understand? I don’t think it’s very difficult to say. Isn’t it?”

After wiping off all the blood from my shoes, I threw the handkerchief on the floor. Baldure, who had been trembling while covering his own mouth, hurriedly nodded his head.

“I guess we can talk a little bit now. So let’s ask the first question. You forgot your duty as a medical staff member of the imperial family and presented disrespectful pills to Her Highness by turning them into health supplements. Am I right?”

Bal Dure nodded his head while salivating. He must have been caught already, but he thought there was nothing good to deny.

“The second question. Exactly how long has it been since I fed Her Highness disrespectful pills?”

“Oh, exactly ten today…… It is the thirteenth day.”

Thirteen days. Since it hadn’t even been two weeks, this was enough to remove the poison from Ireah’s body. Nodding his head, I moved on to the next question.

“This is the last question. Do you know who instigated the drug to be presented to Her Highness, the princess?”

“That, even Schönne doesn’t know much about that. They always contact me by tying a note to their crows, but the meeting place is always different, and their faces are hard to see because they are always wearing thick robes. It’s true, please believe me.”

From the look in his eyes, he didn’t seem to be lying. Well, there was no way they were stupid enough to reveal their true identities to Baldure, who was just an errand boy.

Then is the only way to attack the scene? I, who had been tapping on the table while rolling the abacus in my head, stood up to say that I knew.

“When the next instructions come down to them, secretly contact me. As long as you properly cooperate with me, I will not only forgive your sins, but also will not confiscate any ill-gotten gains you have taken.”

Of course it was a lie. However, now that Baldure is cornered, he has no choice but to cooperate even if he knows that this is a lie. He clings to the hope that it might be true.

“Remember, I will keep in mind again!”

Hearing a loud reply, I opened the door of the inn and came out. After tidying up my clothes and looking up, two moons in the sky were slowly revealing their presence in the sunset.

Has the time already been like this? Thinking that I should go back soon, I walked to a luxury sedan parked nearby. Then the old man sitting in the driver’s seat opens the door and bows his head politely.

“I have been waiting for you, Prince Jeniel.”

It was the driver of the Malaig family who drove me all the way here. I nodded and got into the back seat of the sedan. Then the driver sits in the driver’s seat.

“Go to the mansion.”

“Yes, Young master.”

After hearing my words, the driver gently steps on the accelerator. Upon exiting the dorm, a panoramic view of the imperial palace, which is wider than a fairly large university site, unfolds, followed by a row of streetlights.

In the old days, I would have been able to close my eyes for a while at this time, but now I couldn’t fall asleep. When I thought of the people I would meet at the mansion, my heart started to beat uncontrollably.

‘Ceryl and my father… ….’

Returning to the past was like being able to meet someone who had died.

*

“Welcome. Prince Malaig. The head of household is currently out of the office…….”

When we arrived at the mansion, servants came out to greet us, but Jenial did not respond. He only hurried his steps as if possessed by a demon.

Walking and walking down the hallway, he arrived at his sister’s room. If I open this door, will I be able to meet Seryl? Jeniel grabbed the doorknob and turned it in tension and excitement.

Kikik─

I slowly open the door and look inside. Then, a girl with wavy bobbed hair is seen sitting in front of a table in a comfortable pajama.

On the table was a piece of cake and warm black tea. Confirming that Cheryl was looking at them with a happy expression, Jeniel entered the room.

Then, feeling her presence, Seryl turned to Jennie Earl. Why is my brother here? Seryl, who was taken aback by the unexpected situation, soon put on a new look.

“What is my brother doing here? If he came to admonish you for being proud, stop it? I came from working very hard at the detective office today. And I bought this cake with my money, not my family money.”

It was a cold attitude, but Jenny Earl did not hate her sister at all.

No. She wanted to hate her, but she couldn’t.

“Ceryl… ….”

Just before the world was destroyed by heresy, Jenial, who recognized the identity of heresy earlier than others, had been single-handedly digging behind them and sabotaging them in every case.

Thanks to this, Ethan did everything possible to catch Jenial, and in the process, his sister Seryl was kidnapped.

Ethan threatened Seril, tortured her, and sometimes coaxed her into telling her the location of Jenial’s hiding place, but Seryl didn’t tell her in the end.

In the end, Seryl couldn’t escape his death in the process. After countless tortures, his mind and body could not stand it and collapsed.

He would have been comfortable with just betraying his brother, Jenial, but he kept the secret to the end. Since Jennie Earl had been through all of that, he couldn’t help but be thrilled with the reunion.

“You were here. It’s also very healthy…….”

However, that was only in Jeniel’s position. Seryl only feels a certain kind of disgust at Jeniel, who is making a vague expression.

“Did you eat something wrong? Isn’t it natural that I’m healthy in my room?”

“Because the naturalness felt different to me.”

“…… What?”

What the hell are you talking about? I don’t understand and I hate it, so Jenial strides forward. Uh huh While doing this, the distance between Jenial and Jenial gradually narrowed, so Seryl was reluctant and pushed his body back.

“What are you doing? Why are you coming and f*cking-“

Jenial arrives at a close distance and hugs Cheryl.

“Huh!?”

Ceryl shrieks, embarrassed. Because she was so ridiculous, the blood rushed to her head and her face was also strangely colored.

When she is hugged by her brother and not by anyone else, she has goosebumps all over her body. Cheryl, who hated this mysterious feeling of hers, tried to escape, but Jenny Earl only hugged her tighter.

“I will never lose you again. Never… ….”

I was on the verge of going crazy now that I was making the cheesy sound as a bonus.

‘…… Really, why are you doing this!?’

She said that until yesterday, she is a disgrace to the family. She is a b*tch. She has done all kinds of slander, but she is hugging her as if she became a different person overnight. Her head is dizzy.

‘Why is this bastard so strong…… !’

She tried hard to get out of Jenny Earl’s arms, but she couldn’t do it. Because Jeniel didn’t even move and just hugged Cheryl.

“Oh, ohm! Tell me to stop…… !”

Thinking that she will suffocate at this rate, Seryl struggles to push Jennie Earl away. Only then did Jenny Earl loosen his arm and release Seryl.

Thanks to this, Seryl, who was freed from ‘Jenial Prison’, stared at Jenn Earl with her suspicious eyes while sweating profusely. But Jenny Earl had taken another drink and had tears in his eyes.

Really, sincerely, truly gives goosebumps. Could this really be her brother crazy? Even if that wasn’t the case, it was clear that he was insane.

‘I heard that a person’s personality changes when it is time to die… ….’

Seryl, who had such doubts, lifted the shoulder straps of her one-piece dress and let out a clearing of her throat. Rather than continuing this awkward silence, he thought it was right to share something.

“Well, how was the imperial palace rather than that? She must have been around a lot since she was appointed as Her Highness’ educator today, right?”

“Ah. It is the imperial palace.”

She was running around for a long time. However, all she had to do was go into the medical doctor Baldure’s quarters in advance and wait in order to root out the heretical tricks.

“I’m sorry, but nothing interesting happened that I can tell you about.”

“What is that…….”

It seemed Jennie Earl was right, seeing her blatantly ignoring her sister to her face. With her low sigh, Seryl ended her rough conversation and changed her subject to drive her brother away.

“How was the princess, Her Highness? I heard that Her Highness the Princess is quite a tomboy, so there are many professors who have asked to resign after less than a month. Has everything been okay with you?”

“Hmm. I slapped His Highness on the cheek, but nothing happened.”

“Aha. Your Highness’s cheek…… ?”

Seryl, who belatedly understood her brother’s words, became contemplative and opened her mouth blankly.

Touching the jade body of the imperial family amounts to treason in a broader sense. It is said that it is a felony that cannot be removed or beaten. Still, Jeniel in front of me was talking nonchalantly, as if discussing breakfast.

‘…… I see.’

It was only then that Seryl began to understand everything Jeniel had just done.

As expected, my brother is obviously crazy.
