#Side Story 11. Even if a loyal subject has no partner (1)
* * *
After overcoming destruction.
The Seven Dragons Association became the losers of the world.
In addition to their exploits in protecting humanity, it was a natural result as they were the only force with the power to restore civilization.
Therefore, the seven princesses’ close associates actually became the powerful people of all people.
Except for the loyal princess and her sire Limon, there is no one else in the world they need to look out for.
And it was definitely something to be happy and proud of.
It was something to be proud of, but…
“…Nadia?”
“yes?”
I was looking at the documents blankly.
The red-haired maid made a strange expression when she saw the girl in a baggy military uniform who suddenly raised her head.
“Are you okay?”
“Oh yes. “I guess I dozed off with my eyes open for a moment.”
“…Usually, that kind of thing is called fainting rather than dozing off.”
“Hey, fainting. “I’ve only not slept well for a few days, but there’s no way I’m already fainting, as I’m a master at the professional level.”
From experience, it’s okay to stay up for an extra day or two, so don’t worry.
Haha, despite her smiling face, the maid hesitantly opened her mouth as she looked at Nadia, whose eyes did not seem to be normal.
“It looks like you need some rest…”
“Yes, I need to rest too.”
After nodding slightly.
Nadia secretly looked away.
“…Just take care of these things.”
Follow her gaze.
The maid slightly averted her eyes.
And while looking at the pile of documents that were piled up not only on the desk where Nadia was sitting but also on the floor, she asked softly.
“Are you able to do it today?”
“Uhm, I don’t know. If I stay up all night, wouldn’t it be possible until dawn….”
“Won’t new documents pile up again tomorrow morning?”
“…ah?”
It’s like I’ve gained a new understanding.
The maid thought to herself as she watched Nadia blinking with her mouth slightly open.
As expected, our aide said he was tired of it.
Otherwise, there’s no way I wouldn’t have realized the obvious reason why my work wasn’t finished even though I stayed up all night processing documents.
It was something that could not be helped.
Obtaining hegemony over the world means taking on the responsibility of leading humanity.
In that sense, the seven princesses were those who bore the greatest responsibility in the world.
In fact, the sight of the princesses concentrating on their work, even forgetting about the erosion until Limon returned, was enough to make everyone concerned.
Even more so because I could see that he was trying to forget his worries about Limon through work.
That was why everyone felt relieved after his return when the seven princesses finally let go of their excessive workload.
…The problem was that the work that the princesses had given up was passed on to their aides.
“How about asking the elders or the head of the family for help?”
“Hmm, if that happens, I think all the elders who have less than a few minutes left will die from overwork.”
“That’s…”
Nadia’s worries.
The maid could not deny it.
The Seven Dragons’ Association suffered enormous damage during the defense war over the past six months, especially during the fight against the monsters that poured out on the final day of the apocalypse.
Including professional level experts.
The problem was that they were people who assisted the princess and some even led the clan on her behalf.
When the princess is considered the head of the clan.
They were the waist of the clan…
no, they were almost like the neck in that they moved the clan according to the princess’s instructions.
Now, the Seven Dragons’ Association had its head cut off in half.
Especially in that they were irreplaceable, having accumulated a long experience as the leading figures of the clan and the Seven Dragons group.
That was why.
The reason Nadia came to this conclusion while scratching her head.
“No matter how I think about it, I think I’ll have no choice but to hold out somehow until the princess returns.”
“Then princess…”
“….”
“…No, it’s nothing.”
The maid kept her mouth shut.
How can you disturb the princess who is with her beloved sire over something like this?
He said he couldn’t commit such outrageous disloyalty even if it meant dying from overwork.
A face that was always shaking.
Change it to hard like an iceberg.
Nadia’s warning gaze forced me to swallow the offer I was about to make to her.
‘I would like to at least provide you with a few documents for you, but… that would be impossible.’
As an expert from a prestigious clan, she was several times better than her peers and was selected as a maid. She was clearly a talented person of the Red Dragon Clan.
But that also depends on the opponent.
It was not enough to replace the work of Nadia, who was even called the genius of the Red Dragon Clan.
Especially since most of the work would have to be handled by Hasneti.
The maid, who was pondering whether there was anything she could do, suddenly opened her mouth.
“In that case, at least I will be the swordsman and the princess’s attendant…”
Quang!
“never!!!”
“….”
“Oh well. So… serving the princess is my only reward and pleasure. “If I can’t even do that, I’m confident I’ll collapse right away.”
“Is that so?”
“yes! Maybe you just want to run away!”
“Then at least I need assistance…”
“No, I don’t need assistance! I’ll do it all! So never, never, never!! Please don’t say that again. “Did you know?”
“…All right.”
No matter how much you like being served, that’s true.
Of course, he jumped up and hit the desk as if he had heard that a wild sword master had appeared.
The maid thought as she watched Nadia persistently demanding confirmation.
As expected, a genius must be quite crazy.
“Is there anything else I can do to help?”
“Umm… Then, can I get you a cup of coffee? Very dark.”
“yes. “I will prepare right away.”
After the maid, who had been looking at him with subtle eyes, stepped aside to prepare coffee.
Nadia breathed a sigh of relief.
“Whew… I almost got into big trouble.”
I almost lost my liver.
She muttered softly, shook her head, looked at the documents again, and concentrated on her work.
quietly.
Sincerely.
Without resting even for a moment.
…Until a faint scent passes the tip of my nose.
‘This…?’
The scent seeps in.
Deeper than deep mountains and valleys.
Sweeter than mountain and sea delicacies.
If it were a world-class view, I would have ignored it, and if it was any delicacy, I would have laughed.
But it is too powerful to melt away to ignore and too fascinating to laugh at.
Nadia got up.
So it’s like I’m possessed by something.
She walked slowly, following the scent, and arrived in front of a familiar door. She swallowed her dry saliva and quietly opened the door.
And saw.
In a large, spacious bathtub.
A body entangled like a snake.
The act was so violent that water droplets bounced in all directions out of the bathtub, and it was even more shocking.
The heat emitted by hot bodies touching each other is so hot that just being in the same space makes you dizzy.
Above all, just looking at that body, which is so perfect that I have never even imagined in my life, makes me thirsty…
“Huh?!”
Flashing.
Nadia opened her eyes.
It looks like the maid put it there before I knew it.
She looked blankly at the coffee on the desk and muttered as if she realized it too late.
“…it was a dream.”
It’s literally like he came back from the dead.
With a sigh of relief, it took a moment to wipe the cold sweat from my forehead.
She suddenly remembered the contents of the ‘dream’ she had, and her face blushed.
“Wow….”
This is a heart demon.
This is something that needs to be forgotten.
But the more I try to forget, the clearer the dream becomes and the memory of the solid body makes my throat dry.
Nadia, who was blowing steam out of her head, took a quick gulp of the coffee on her desk to cool off just a little.
“Oh, it’s hot!”
And after a while.
When Nadia was rolling around on the floor with her mouth full of tears, she was blaming herself for being born as a member of the Golden Dragon Clan instead of the Red Dragon Clan.
Beep.
Her pager rang.
“Oh, yes. “This is Nadia.”
“Matriarch? You must be busy, so why did you contact me…”
“…Yes?”
“What should I do?!?!”
* * *
After Limon’s return.
The seven princesses let go of their heavy workload.
However, that did not mean that I had completely put it down. All of the tasks were urgent and important, so I had to keep checking them.
Especially sincere princesses.
“Princess, is it okay if you don’t rest any longer?”
That was why.
He is the Grand Admiral of the Blue Dragon Clan.
A blue-haired beauty wearing an old-fashioned captain’s outfit who inherited the position of aide in place of Lucas, who was killed in action during the Battle of London.
Why did Freya look at her princess with concern?
“it’s okay. “I got enough rest yesterday.”
However, despite returning to work after only one day, Rose did not appear particularly tired.
Rather, he just had a faint smile on his face as he easily processed the documents that Freya had organized, as if he was full of energy from just that one day of vacation.
“More than anything, I need to get a little more work done so I can spend time with my swordsman during my next vacation.”
It seems like he’s already looking forward to that day.
Frea, who was pouring tea for Rose, who was talking happily, asked softly without realizing it.
“…Aren’t you disappointed?”
“What do you mean?”
“The Duke of Geom has taken on a new bride again.”
Perhaps because it was such an unexpected question, I paused for a moment while processing the documents.
After a short silence.
Rose opened her mouth.
“It would be a lie if I said I wasn’t disappointed.”
“….”
“But I’m not that disappointed.”
“Is that so?”
“yes. “I was prepared for this anyway.”
In the first place, when there was a fiancé named Li Qingyu and everyone was competing for Limon, she was the first to cut him off.
It’s like you can’t monopolize him.
I knew it from the beginning.
Of course, even though she committed such a foul, she was accepted as his bride.
Rose was grateful just to be allowed to sit next to the other princesses.
…Still, what happened with the Fairy Queen was a bit of a shock.
To hide her bitterness, Rose raised her teacup and spoke jokingly.
“It’s a pity that the ‘order’ has been pushed back, but if it’s a pity, it’s okay if we all receive love from the swordsman like before.”
“It’s not possible!”
Wow!
“….”
“Oh no, that…. At least if it were Sir Lucas, he would have risked his life to stop such a thing.”
“Well, well. “I guess so.”
Rose reflected.
Surely the stubborn Lucas would have been shocked to hear that several princesses were spending the night with their grooms.
Even so, I wouldn’t have made the mistake of breaking the pot containing black tea.
Actually, I’m just a little older than her.
Freah was also a virgin who never got married.
I was thinking that it would be embarrassing to hear a joke like this from my beloved princess.
She suddenly remembered something she had forgotten while doing her work.
“Come to think of it, Freya.”
“Yes princess.”
“Is there a man you like or a wife you have in mind?”
“…yes???”
“If there isn’t one, then…”
“….”
Clink!
It was a moment later that Freya, with her eyes wide open, broke Rose’s favorite pot and even a teacup.
