rose palace.
rose palace.
“Clap.”
Jamel’s eyes glistened as he gulped down his saliva.
“A dinner prepared by the Dragon Kings!!! How expensive and delicious food will come out!!! Meat eaten by royalty! The grass that royalty eats! Bread eaten by royalty!!! Can you imagine how it tastes?” At Jamel’s excited question
, ‘kill… kill…’,
the mother shook her head in anger. Like I can’t even imagine.
“I can’t even imagine! But whatever you can imagine, it’s bigger than that! Maybe a ten-layer cake for dessert! When you open the closed tray, the pudding the size of your forearm might be proud of its plump appearance! Hee hee hee! What?!”
Jamel’s eyes widened as he stretched his imagination to the fullest. Soon she looked down with concern at the clothes she was wearing.
“But is it really okay to dress like this when I go into the palace… If the Dragon Queen kicks me out for being rude, then I have to leave without even eating the food that came out…” “That will never happen, so don’t worry about it.
”
Dakia tidied up her mother’s clothes for the last time and smiled.
“As long as Princess Rusona invited you personally, you won’t be kicked out even if it’s too messy. Besides, from the first time he gave us less than a day, it was like declaring that he wouldn’t care about our outfits at all. Do you understand?”
“As expected… a lady from a very high lord’s family… she’s so cool that she’s very relaxed… If I was Jamel, a noble lady born in a noble family, would I have been full of composure…?”
I could bet that even if Jamel was a noble lady, if she had been invited by the Dragon Princess, she would have made a fuss like today. Because human nature is not easily changed.
“sure. Being nervous is just a story about not being used to it.”
“Hee hee hee. Yes?”
Dacia stamped the blank check like that and handed it to Jamel. Jamel was blown away by the blank check.
Just as Giselle had finished her preparations, she opened the door and came out. I visited Cardisho, who had been locked in his room since I had returned.
“Card show. Is it really okay if we don’t go together?”
Cardisho answered in a small voice, wrapped in a blanket.
“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu… I’m sure I’ll run out of control again if I go. I’ll only cause you trouble again… I’d rather lock myself in bed like this. Then at least I won’t run into an accident…”
After apologizing to me as soon as I woke up yesterday, she dug into her bed and didn’t even stick her head out. Yes, Cardisho was completely downcast about the affair at Abiditas Mansion.
I didn’t do anything to comfort her by calming her down. I was preparing my mind to break up with her, a priest, so even if I tried to calm her down here, Cardisho would only become more dependent on me.
“Yuna.”
The door opened and the blue eyes calmly filled my face. Master Pridiya walked in with flowing steps and straightened my clothes.
“Your master.”
“Leave the cardigan show to me, and enjoy your dinner in peace.”
“Master, won’t you come with us?”
Blue eyes narrowed softly. Master patted my neatly-tidy collar and quietly stepped back.
“In the Imperial Palace of the Northern Empire, there might be people who recognize my face. I decided it would be better for me to remain here, since running into them would surely cause some trouble.”
They are those who have been with Master for a while. He must be a bit older and have a higher position.
“If that’s the case, there’s nothing you can do about it. Then, I wish you a good cardi show.”
“Don’t worry. It’s just…”
Master gently held my hand and tapped the ring she had given me.
“If you don’t come back without any news by tomorrow morning, I’ll go find you myself, so if something dangerous happens, pretend to cooperate for now and just waste your time. Got it?”
“I will keep that in mind.”
“Then it’s good to go.”
A fresh smile sent me off. I also responded with a smile.
“I’m coming.”

After Marnak left, Pridja sat down by Khadisho’s bed and opened the book she had brought with her. Before she could read a few words, a small voice leaked out from under the covers.
“May I ask for advice?”
Cardisho spoke in a respectful tone as always. Pridja took her eyes off the writing and looked up.
“Please.”
A very different way of speaking than when dealing with Marnak. The vitality that had been overflowing from just before had disappeared, and the two blue eyes, just as transparent as glass beads, reflected the face of Cardisho peeking out from under the blanket. After choosing his words several times, Cardisho carefully brought up the question.
“If you caused a nuisance because you couldn’t control your power because you ran out of control… what would you do…”
“There is no power in the world that you can’t control. If the power runs wild, it’s just a matter of tact. You are especially lucky.”
“yes? Lucky… what is that…?”
The book folded with a thud. Pridja put a book on a nearby desk and continued talking slowly.
“Because there is someone who can take care of you even if you can’t even control your own strength and get swept away.”
It was Marnak’s story. Cardisho bit his lip.
“That’s true… but it can’t be a nuisance forever.”
“So?”
A warm answer. However, there was no hatred or hatred in the answer. It has nothing in it, so it’s just empty and empty.
Cardisho lifted the blanket and got up. She knew very well how strong the doll-like woman in front of her was. Truly, she is an out-of-the-ordinary being. It was impossible for him to accurately measure her bottom. Cardisho bowed his head more politely than ever.
“Please help me. So that I can control my powers.”
“Hmm.”
Pridya sat quietly and stared at Kadisho for a long time without saying a word. heavy waiting. At the end of that wait, Friedya’s mouth opened.
“Looking at Yeon-yi’s face, I’ll help you just a little bit. Grab your weapon and follow me.”
declined consent. Cardisho jumped up from his seat at an opportunity like luck, and bowed his head.
“Thank you!”
“It’s enough to thank me, so listen carefully to what Yeon says in the future.”
Pridya woke up and Kadisho quickly grabbed his armament and left the room. She followed behind Prydia’s back to the deck.
“By the way, would it be all right if I ask how you intend to teach?”
“Usually, the type of people who can’t control their strength and run amok will come to their senses and chatter and chatter after they’ve worked it out a few times before dying in a runaway state.”
“yes…?”
Something was wrong with the answer. Cold sweat ran down Cardisho’s spine at the foreboding.
“Could I ask you one more question?”
“Please.”
“Have you ever had an experience in your life where you couldn’t control your power?”
Pridja nodded and blinked her eyes.
“My body is entirely my own, so I’ve never had such an inhospitable experience.”
“…!”
***
“Welcome. Everyone came earlier than expected, so things went smoothly.”
As soon as we got off the carriage, a woman like gold greeted us before we even had time to prepare our hearts.
Of course, I thought the maids would guide us, but the Dragon Princess herself came out to greet us. Seriously, what kind of education did this princess grow up with? Was the education in the Dragon Kingdom originally free-spirited, like Batis?
We were a little taken aback by the unexpected welcome, but Rusona calmly waited for our greeting with a generous smile.
Jamel was the one who reacted most quickly. She gave a belly salute and shouted vigorously.
“Oh hello!!! Thank you so much for inviting me to dinner!!! This is my first time eating at a palace!!!”
A waist that bows down in front of power. In response to that powerful greeting, Rusona reached out her white hand and lifted Jamel upright.
“Ah?!”
“Don’t treat me too hard. I am not that rigid.”
Jamel’s body hardened more than ever at the sudden touch of the dragon princess. She straightened her back, rolled her eyes, and looked at me pitifully. As if asking to get rid of this dragon princess.
“I am deeply grateful to Princess Rusona for her extreme hospitality that she invited me to lunch and even came to meet me in person like this.”
The savior came to Jamel with silver hair. In response to Dacia’s polite greeting, Rusona removed her hand from Jamel and puffed out her cheeks slightly. It was a behavior that did not fit her age at all, but it felt very natural because of her free atmosphere.
“I’m sure I asked you to treat me comfortably, but if you say hello like that, you don’t feel the distance.”
With Rusona’s steps, the distance between Dakia and her was shortened. The dragon princess approached Dakia’s nose and hugged her without hesitation. Since the dragon princess was tall enough to be one head taller than a normal woman, Dakia suddenly buried her face in Rusona’s voluptuous breasts.
“Princess Le Rusona?”
“I’ve felt it since the last time I saw you, but you are truly beautiful. To the point where I really want to bite it.”
Lesona smiled as she removed Dakia from her arms.
“Women, follow me. I was busy yesterday and prepared a beautiful dress for you in advance. I will share my greetings as I go. Marnak, wait here a little while. A servant will come to guide you.”
After that, Rusona took Dakia’s hand and walked into the palace. Giselle and Jamel followed, and my mother glanced at me, nodded, and hurried away.
Just stand there and wait for a while. Two men appeared with a loud noise.
“No, why did Rusona keep it a secret from me even though Dacia is coming here?”
“Isn’t that obvious? She must have thought that she would go out to meet her like this, and Princess Rusona spared her words.”
It was a familiar voice. A bald middle-aged man named Hilden and the dragon prince Batis Draco with bright yellow long hair. The two came out to meet me. According to what they said, originally, Hilden was the only person who would come out to greet me.
As soon as Batis saw my face, he frowned as if he had seen something he couldn’t see.
“Where is Marnak Dakia going and why are you the only one here?”
When did you call me by name and pretend to be friendly? But even coming all the way here and arguing with that single-celled dragon prince was foolish.
“Princess Rusona took my party personally.”
“what? oh this is a bit late But why are you standing still here?”
“That’s because I’ll be guiding you from now on.”
At Hilden’s reply, Batis pursed her lips.
“I know there are a lot of guys hanging out here, but I don’t know why Rusona keeps teasing you. Hey, didn’t you really switch to Lasona?”
Hilden opened her eyes wide in surprise.
“I was about to switch, but did you notice it already?”
“hey!!! you you! There is no sense of loyalty!!!”
“It’s a joke. joke.”
“What man?!”
Leaving behind Batis, who opened her mouth, Hilden respectfully bowed her head to me.
“I will guide you, Priest Marnak. Please follow me.”
“Ah yes.”
As we followed Hilden into the Rose Palace, Batis, who came to his senses, caught up with us. he glared at me So much so that the back of my head is slightly sore.
“I know everything!!!”
“What are you talking about?”
“That you bastard eats women with that pale top!!!”
“Oh is that so?”
“What are you talking nonchalantly about!!! is it your story? You bastard!!!”
Hilden turned his head and opened his mouth to Batis.
“Prince Batis. Princess Rusona said that if you quarrel with Priest Marnak and spoil the dinner, you will have to move out of the Rose Palace. Of course, I have no intention of leaving this room, so Prince Batis will be the only one sitting on the street.”
“what?!”
“If you want to keep your back warm and full tonight, you will have to be a little kinder to Priest Marnak. If you really don’t like it, you can go back to your room until dinner.”
“Hilden, are you really on my side?”
Hilden glared at Batis.
“Since I am on the prince’s side, I am giving you this advice. Or you’ve been beaten up long ago. please listen to me At least you’ve been quietly doing well these days, so are you thinking of blowing everything you’ve built up so far this time? Then please tell us in advance. Then I’ll just beat me up and get a job with Princess Rusona!!!”
It started out softly, but afterward it was close to a cry of indignation. Batis looked at Hilden with slightly embarrassed eyes.
“Oh no. Why are you angry?”
“That’s because I kept telling Priest Marnak to drink, even if it’s a fight!!! Oh, I said I would never quarrel!!! If I’m going to do this, didn’t I just ask you to wait in your room!!!”
“okay! Got it! I really won’t quarrel now. Stop yelling!!! You bastard!!!”
“You promised?”
“Yes…”
The bald man returned with a calm voice, as if he had never been angry. It was not a skill he had done once or twice to calm Batis.
Surprisingly, after that, until I got to the room, Batis didn’t really argue with me. I just glared at him as if I didn’t like it.
“You can change into the clothes prepared in advance in the room. Our Princess Rusona’s eyebrows are as precise as magic, so they probably fit her body.”
“Thank you for guiding me.”
“no.”
Hilden glanced at Batis, who was standing far away, with a shy expression.
“I’m just grateful that you didn’t react to Prince Batis’ dispute.”
He paused for a moment before adding a few words.
“He still has a lot of childlike aspects, so he is lacking in many ways, but he is not evil in nature. I hope you don’t hate our prince too much.”
“I haven’t kept it at all, so you can leave in peace.”
I really didn’t care about the lizard prince. Tick-tack-tick-tick was nothing. To be honest, it was close to something I couldn’t even care about.
“thank you.”
Hilden bowed her head deeply and took the grunting Batis away. Upon entering the room, I changed into clothes prepared in advance as Hilden said. Contrary to my expectation that the clothes would be flashy, it was a neatly designed black tailcoat. As a bonus, it fit perfectly, as if I had measured my body myself.
This is going to give you a little goosebumps.
smart.
While looking at the large mirror and tidying up my clothes, someone knocked on the door. When I opened the door, a woman who appeared to be a maid from the Rose Palace bowed her head to me.
“Princess Lesona asked me to come to the rose garden because she had something to say. Please follow me.”
See you separately? What are you talking about?
There was no reason to refuse since I came this far anyway. I smiled and nodded.
“Please guide me.”
