Chapter 405. Extraversion: Workaholics are troublesome (2)
“Have you heard of Yaja Time, Your Highness?”
Lloyd’s clear voice was heard in the bedroom.
King Alicia frowned.
“Yaja time?”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
“Hmm. Hearing it for the first time.”
“Is that so?”
“okay. It’s palm time. What is it that makes your drowsiness run away?”
“It comes as a kind of role-playing game.”
“Role play?”
“Yes, Your Highness. To explain it in more detail, it is a role play in which we exchange statuses and have conversations.”
“Wait then….”
“Yes, it will be as you guessed.”
“How dare you become a burden and the burden become you?”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
Lloyd closed his eyes and replied.
If the relationship is moderate, this proposal would be tantamount to self-death sentence.
How dare you change your status with the king. Yaja Time.
Even if you are immediately accused of contempt of the royal family.
Or even if it is driven to the reverse.
Even excuses would be impossible.
But he had his own.
‘Because there is praise. The one who carries magentano.’
Lloyd recalled the power of praise he possessed.
‘I am the king’s sister’s lifesaver. Thank you for your absolute trust. Opinions and advice offered to the king’s sister generally received very positive responses. Besides, I don’t get any suspicion of treason or treason from the king’s sister. So this offer is possible.’
At least you won’t be driven into treason.
Maybe she could get a hit in the stomach.
I won’t get any more serious reactions back.
Lloyd had that kind of confidence.
Could it be because of that?
Soon, a welcome message appeared before his eyes.
Ding dong!
[Your aspiration awakens a certain admiration in your possession.]
[The admiration < The One Who Carries Magentano > begins to exert a powerful influence on King Alicia.]
The moment that message comes to mind.
“…Whoa, this is true.”
A smile appeared on the King’s sister’s face, as if it was absurd.
At the same time, the criticism that was not her criticism also pierced the eardrum on this side.
“Lloyd Frontera. What should I say? I have never seen anyone like you.”
“Is that so?”
“of course.”
Shall I hit this guy?
Or will you bite it off?
…with eyes and a smile.
The king’s sister looked this way and said.
“A game of status reversal with Jim. Who in the world would dare to make such an outrageous offer to Jim? You are the most courageous man I have ever seen.”
“Seo Seong-eun is embarrassed.”
“It’s not a compliment.”
“I am truly sorry!”
“It’s not even an accusation.”
“Ha ha come?”
“Jim is also interested, so let me accept the bet you proposed.”
“Are you sure?”
“If I do, will Jim spit out lies?”
“Of course not.”
Lloyd responded quickly.
The king cannot change his mind.
So at this time, you have to ride the momentum and drive.
“If so, what will Your Highness ask for as a result of the bet?”
“A night sparring with you.”
“….”
“A battle that is more breathless, fierce, and violently intertwined than ever before.”
“….”
“I want a sparring match that lasts until the morning and makes each other sweaty and their legs loosen up.”
“….”
I will definitely win this bet.
Lloyd already felt his legs loosen up.
The king’s sister asked.
“Then you wagered sparring with palm time as a reward for the bet…What bet would you like to make?”
“That’s something I’ve been thinking about.”
“which?”
“It’s a rock-paper-scissors boy.”
“Hmm, I like that it’s simple.”
“Your last name is ruined.”
Lloyd shook his head.
Fortunately (?), rock-paper-scissors was also common in this world.
“If you come, you will be asked what a single match would be like.”
“good. I agree.”
The king’s sister rolled up the sleeves of her nightgown.
Lloyd took a deep breath and prepared.
“Are you ready?”
“of course.”
“then…scissors….”
“rock….”
Their eyes met.
cried at the same time
“paper!”
Papapat!
The two hands moved without saying which one was first.
In the meantime, the eyes of the two flashed several times.
‘You…Is it scissors?’
A strange color appeared in King Alicia’s eyes.
She was the ultimate sword master.
A very brief moment of holding out your hand.
She quickly caught Lloyd’s outstretched hand.
The shape of the hand that was clasped.
Changes in joints and muscles tendons.
I caught the whole process.
Thanks to this, she was able to change the shape of her outstretched hand between the splits in an instant.
‘If you do, the burden will be a rock.’
I quickly grabbed the hand that was holding the paper.
But then he saw Lloyd’s hand movements change.
Lloyd’s hand, which had only spread two fingers, suddenly tried to open the rest of the fingers as well.
‘…also.’
Although his level is lower than his own.
Lloyd Frontera is indeed a sword master.
You have grasped the movement of this side’s hand in accordance with that state.
King Alicia, sensing this intuition, made another change.
Papa pat!
He spread his index and middle fingers out of his clenched fist.
But at that moment.
Lloyd, who was observing her movements, shouted inwardly.
‘Instantaneous foreknowledge!’
at the same time as the call.
Ding dong!
[Skill-only option ⑦: Instantaneous Wisdom is activated.]
[Your body temperature rises by 1℃ due to the power exerted by the Iris of Summer.]
Whoops!
In an instant, Mana Heart was rapidly activated.
The pupil of the new summer showed off its power.
I glimpsed the future up to five seconds later.
Lloyd quickly changed the shape of his hand to match the future.
from beam to rock.
From rock to scissors.
Tsupapat!
Mixing fakes, he changed them in a flashy way.
On the other hand, the hand of the king’s sister, who reached out this way….
“…Mmm.”
A quiet voice flowed from between the closed lips of the king’s sister, who held out a cloth.
Lloyd looked at the king’s sister with triumphant eyes.
“Your Highness gave me the paper, and I gave you the scissors.”
“That’s right.”
“So I won the bet.”
“…It is right to admit it.”
Is it a pity that I can’t do night sparring?
The king’s sister reluctantly licked her lips.
Lloyd shrugged his shoulders.
‘Huh, I’m glad. I won.’
It was the first summer thing I tried.
You said you could see the future up to 5 seconds later.
I was wondering how effective it really was.
‘It’s much better after using it.’
It was truly effective.
Thanks to this, I was able to anticipate all the shapes of the hand that the king’s sister would change and extend.
I mixed up fakes to match it, gave out scissors, and won.
‘I could have used an attack design option to win more sure, but that’s obvious.’
As an attack design option, the King’s sister could have forced the hand shape to be reached.
However, the king’s sister was an extremely strong sword master.
Even if it’s a very brief moment when you reach out your hand.
If it were her, she would have enough to feel the discomfort of being forced into her movements for an instant.
So, instead of attack design, he used instant foreknowledge.
“Then, from now on, I will start the Yaja Time that I suggested.”
“if…until when?”
“Can you see the stars outside the window over there?”
Lloyd pointed out the bedroom window.
The king’s sister paid attention to the horizon submerged in darkness.
“Could it be the talented constellation?”
“That’s right, Your Highness.”
Lloyd’s words continued.
“We know that this season’s ingenious constellation rises near the horizon for only about 15 minutes around midnight, then disappears shortly thereafter. But that constellation just came to mind….”
“It means to do palm time for 15 minutes until that constellation disappears. Am I right?”
“It fits. then…start.”
“hmm?”
The moment King Alicia blinked in bewilderment.
Lloyd’s demeanor and mood took a surprisingly brazen turn.
“You Alicia Terrmina Magentano.”
“…what?”
“What is what. Do you not understand the current situation?”
“….”
“What are we doing now? Aren’t you paying the sacred and strict palm time?”
“….”
“But why don’t you dare not set the proper example to show me without knowing the circumstances and the circumstances?”
“…that’s it.”
“that is?”
“Indeed…I apologize.”
King Alicia’s face turned red.
I didn’t know that I would have to go through something like this.
No, it’s the Yaja Time that I joked about.
I never dreamed that it would actually be this serious!
‘What is this?’
To think he was bowing his head and bowing to Lloyd Frontera.
‘It was good to have the guards retreat far away from the bedroom just in case.’
She rubbed her heart inwardly.
Both himself and Lloyd were sword masters.
I thought there would be no need for an escort in this place where there were two sword masters.
Most of all, I was afraid that someone would listen to your conversation all night.
So, I let the guards retreat far away.
that was a godsend
What if the guards heard this conversation?
Just imagining it was terrifying.
But apart from the dizziness she swallowed back in her heart.
Lloyd was indiscriminately using more dizzying speeches.
“Hmmmm. did you apologize what?”
“that is….”
“that is?”
“I don’t know.”
I really don’t know.
Why is he giving this answer to Lloyd Frontera?
How did this situation come about?
I don’t really know English either.
No wonder.
No way.
Lloyd Frontera, however, had a delightful yet nasty grin on his face at how much he enjoyed the situation.
“Tsk. Does the royal life end just because you don’t know?”
“….”
“Besides that. Alicia Termina Magentano.”
“Yes and ha…No, please tell me.”
“Are you that good at work?”
“yes?”
“I asked if things were good.”
“…Ah yes.”
King Alicia answered while holding back the emotion of wanting to hit Lloyd.
“I like it.”
“good? how much?”
“I like it a lot.”
“More than yourself?”
“…yes?”
What does this question mean?
I raised my head in the freezing.
I looked at Lloyd.
But Lloyd’s eyes….
‘Are you serious?’
It was a strange situation.
It’s palm time, so let’s do something.
That’s how you dared to treat me like that.
Now he throws a meaningful question with a serious look.
“….”
what the hell is this guy
She answered honestly with a mysterious feeling.
“Of course, more than myself….”
“If it’s good, it’s difficult.”
“yes?”
“I am not.”
“….”
“I like you more than work.”
“…yes?”
“No matter how important or urgent the state affairs are, you are much better and more precious. Ah, just in case, it means that your position, existence, and role are good and precious.”
“….”
“You are not the king. Of course, I know very well that the king’s work and responsibilities are important. But isn’t that something you would say in a situation where the king’s own health is taken care of?”
“that….”
“What if you roll yourself like that and lose one arm? What if you lose your health? So what if I become unable to work as hard as I do now?”
“….”
“If you think about it, isn’t that an act of abandoning your responsibilities as a king?”
“….”
“Right. please don’t do that Let’s reduce our schedule and focus on training. ignoring my opinion. After all, you are neglecting the responsibility of taking care of your own health. Isn’t it?”
“that….”
“Tell me.”
“Did you suggest Yaja Time for this?”
“of course.”
Lloyd replied calmly.
King Alicia felt as if she had been hit with a hammer.
Lloyd’s words continued.
“Then why did I make such a useless and dangerous proposal only to me? Let’s think. If I don’t do this, will you listen to me properly? huh?”
“Haona….”
“Even though I begged you in the morning, you didn’t listen to my opinion. It’s okay. Look at me and figure out a way. work comes first Didn’t you answer that?”
“….”
“That’s it. You have to have at least some time like this for you to listen to me. More than work, more than state affairs, you are more important. Your existence is the most precious and urgent right now. Wouldn’t you like to know a little bit about my heart?”
“….”
“So that’s what I’m saying. I beg you, I hope you will listen to me. Why don’t you leave it to your servants for just two months and take care of your health first?”
“But if you neglect state affairs for two months….”
“Of course, the state affairs will be more squeamish than now. I know. But it’ll only end with a creak. That’s something you can fix. But what if your arm is paralyzed? What if I can’t use my arm? That’s it. There’s no way to fix it. there’s no going back Is it still good?”
“….”
“I really hate that.”
“….”
“If you do that, I think I will be really sad.”
“….”
King Alicia felt a strange feeling.
Lloyd Frontera’s eyes looking this way.
It contained sincerity.
So there was nothing more absurd.
She replied with a sense of bewilderment.
“Hmm, I get it. That was your sincerity.”
“…what?”
“Lloyd Frontera, I mean I want to know your heart. Then I thought it would be good to look out the window at least once.”
“her?”
Lloyd turned his head.
I looked out the window pointed at by the king’s sister.
The ingenious constellation…It had disappeared below the horizon before I knew it.
The King’s sister’s heartwarming voice was also heard.
“Yaja Time is over.”
‘already?’
Why is 15 minutes so short?
There are still many more things I want to say.
I have a story I want to tell you.
didn’t do it all
So I got nervous in my heart.
‘I wonder if my sincerity worked.’
I made an honest statement using Yaja Time as an excuse.
However, I wasn’t sure if the feelings contained in the words were conveyed properly.
‘please.’
I hope the King’s sister understands our feelings.
I hope you put off your schedule for two months and focus on the camp training.
I looked at the king’s sister with a heart full of hope and longing.
But the king’s sister’s reaction….
“Good. Lloyd Frontera.”
“yes?”
“Jim wants you to get down on the floor first.”
“Yes?”
“Put your hands on the floor. stretch your legs to lie down Didn’t you hear?”
“Yes?”
“….”
“I will do it right away.”
I quickly fell down on my stomach.
The king’s sister’s somehow bloody presence approached.
Before long, she sat down on my back!
“…Do you remember?”
“Is it difficult? Only to bear the weight of the burden?”
“Oh no.”
Of course not.
Because this is also the Sword Master.
It wasn’t too much of a burden to carry the king’s sister’s weight on my back while lying face down on the ground.
But why does the king’s sister’s voice become more and more enjoyable?
“First of all, I know your heart well. I want to say thank you.”
“Sungsung is…It’s embarrassing.”
“okay? If so, shall we start doing push-ups?”
“yes?”
“I thought I’d suggest a bet, too.”
“You mean a bet…?”
“You said that, didn’t you? Luggage is more important than work. It’s like that for you too. So, first of all, I want to confirm the truth of what you said.”
“….”
“I want to see if you can handle the weight of your precious burden doing push-ups like this.”
“How many can I do?”
“Until morning.”
“…yes?”
“Until morning. continue.”
“….”
“Will it be difficult?”
“That is….”
“Tell me.”
“Putting your Highness on your back and doing push-ups until morning, if you succeed…Do you have something?”
“Of course it is.”
“What is it?”
“I thought I would listen to your advice faithfully for two months.”
“Are you talking about camp?”
“okay.”
“….”
“But haven’t you started doing push-ups yet?”
“…One million twenty one! A million and twenty-two!”
“Tsk. from the beginning.”
“…one! two!”
Lloyd worked hard, with an anxious heart.
I started doing infinite push-ups.
And I had doubts in my heart.
‘Does this look like an excuse to confirm my sincerity?’
It seems so.
No matter how you look at it, this seems to be the revenge of Yaja Time.
But no matter how you think about it, there is no way to resist!
‘…Big.’
Lloyd continued his push-ups with tears in his eyes.
Literally all night.
until morning light.
Feeling the tingling in the chest, shoulders and forearms.
Like that, all night long, I was carrying the weight of the king’s sister with my back.
Inside, I let out a grievous grumble.
‘Huh uh uh uh. I don’t know who this will be…I really feel sorry for the guy who will marry his sister later!’
