11. Gift.

Huana offered a seat and then sat on the sofa herself.

The table between Aran and her was completely empty.

 

 

She didn’t even tell a maid to bring something, as if she had no intention of treating Aran at all.

 

 

“First, let me ask you. You don’t plan to stop clinging to my sister, do you?”

 

It was a warning she had given countless times.

Aran and Iliana had blatantly ignored it.

 

 

But now that she had become the Crown Princess, there were few who could escape her notice and remain unscathed. So, perhaps Aran might humble himself and come crawling in.

 

 

“…You’re persistent, aren’t you? It’s a matter between me and my sister, not something Her Highness should interfere with.”

 

Aran answered as politely as possible.

He could see a strange twitch on her lips.

 

 

“Okay. I didn’t expect anything anyway. Not only are you two sticking together, but you’ve even reached the stage of marriage or whatever. It’s shocking, to be honest, but I guess it’s plausible.”

 

 

Why is she being so agreeable?

Her nodding appearance is unfamiliar.

 

 

Huana crossed her legs and put on a haughty expression.

No, not just haughty, but quite arrogant and overbearing.

 

 

“I don’t like you. I find being with you disgusting. I’d like to kick you out if I could, but my mother asked me so nicely, so I can’t help it? Fine, live well with ‘that woman.’ I won’t interfere. But, stay stuck in the peninsula. Don’t bother coming to the mainland.”

 

 

Her eyes, reflecting the lamplight, are quite sharp.

Like a master sword that cuts even a gently falling piece of paper, it feels like you’d be cut if you touched it.

No, in his mind, he’s already been cut countless times.

 

“….”

 

 

Aran thought about saying something but shook his head inwardly.

 

‘She’s always been like this.’

 

 

It’s something that she won’t interfere. Even though he wanted to mess her up, she is still Cornelia’s daughter.

He couldn’t make his mother and benefactor sad.

 

 

‘But who is that woman…is she talking about Princess Moae?’

 

 

She must really hate saying her name.

 

“Why aren’t you answering? Do you think my words are funny?”

“No. Sure, whatever. I have a reason to be there anyway.”

“Hmph. Mother is too sentimental and gave a mission as Great King to a lowly man like you. She must be trying to protect you from me.”

“…Did you know?”

“I’m the Crown Princess of this country. Of course, I know.”

 

Now it’s almost at the level of growling.

Like a fierce beast, she reveals her hostility and denounces Aran.

 

 

“It’s ridiculous that a commoner, and a man from another country at that, became a prince, but a Great King on top of that. Do you really think it suits you…? Please, don’t tarnish my mother’s face. Well, your existence itself is an anomaly.”

 

Anger surged at the continued personal attacks, but he suppressed it.

 

If Aran fought her head-on, he would naturally win, but that would only sadden Cornelia.

 

 

‘Just today…I’ll endure just for today.’

 

 

But he couldn’t just keep enduring.

Aran decided that today would be the last and stood up from his seat.

 

 

“If you’ve said everything you wanted to say, I’ll be going now.”

 

 

He turned his body without listening to her words.

And then he stretched out his leg and took a step.

 

 

Just as he was about to leave the room, Huana’s voice was heard.

 

 

“Ah, by the way, if you and that woman get married, she’s no longer a princess. You know that much, right?”

 

Aran’s feet stopped.

 

Suddenly, not a princess?

 

 

When he turned his head, she continued.

 

“I can’t recognize a woman who fell for a lowly man, and a commoner from another country like you at that, and abandoned everything to get married. Maybe not now, but when I become Emperor, I will do so.”

 

 

Only then did Aran understand the context.

 

 

The ‘that woman’ she was talking about was not Princess Moae but Iliana.

The fact that she called her ‘that woman’ instead of ‘sister,’ as she had been doing, was probably because she no longer considered her a princess.

 

 

“…Isn’t she Your Highness’s own sister?”

“So? Do you think I’ll just let a woman who shamelessly tarnishes the grace of my mother get away with it?”

“….”

“My mother is kind, so she might, but I’m not. A princess has a role befitting her position. She’s not a resource to be wasted on someone like you.”

 

He was speechless.

What kind of thought process is she going through?

 

“Mother won’t let that happen.”

“I told you, I will do so when I become Emperor. Do you have no learning ability? Ah, that’s right, you don’t.”

 

Boogleguleugle.

 

 

Aran was getting more and more agitated.

Despite his resolve, he wanted to do something about it right away.

 

 

“Anyway, keep that in mind. And let that woman know too. I’m curious about her reaction.”

 

Is it because she’ll soon be Emperor, so she can do whatever she wants?

To cut off a bond tied by blood and cast out her own sister. It didn’t seem like something a sane person would think of.

 

 

“…Do you always see people like that?”

“Huh? What do you mean?”

“Is all you see is status? You’re a very narrow-minded person.”

“….”

 

 

She narrowed her eyes slightly.

 

“You’re no different, yet you look down on others. Just how great are you, Your Highness, that you try to stand above others?”

“Ha….”

 

 

She scoffed and stood up from her seat.

And then she walked towards Aran.

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Do you know why commoners are lowly?”

 

 

She took confident steps.

 

 

“They don’t even know how to read.”

 

Looking at him with eyes that saw him as a bug,

 

 

“They can’t even read books.”

 

 

Crushing him with her gaze,

 

 

“They have no enlightenment.”

 

 

With a twisted smile,

 

 

“Above all, they have no progress. So…”

 

 

 

 

 

“That’s why you’re an animal.”

 

 

She reached Aran.

Looking up at Aran’s twitching eyebrows from right in front of him, she continued.

 

 

“If you’re an animal, you should have crawled on the ground like one. What gives you the right to shamelessly wander around here? Just because the nobles are fawning over you and you’re running wild, do you think the world is yours?”

 

It’s a terrible nature.

The mask of courtesy that she had been wearing, even if only a little, had already been thrown away, and her face was filled with all sorts of contempt and ridicule.

 

Aran was more dumbfounded than angry.

Her true nature had been revealed before, but it’s getting worse and worse.

 

 

“You crawling on the floor, and that woman who’s floundering because she’s fallen for you, you’re all the same.”

 

 

After finishing her words, she chuckled and ridiculed him, then touched Aran’s tie.

As if a husband were tying his wife’s.

 

“Go and stay there forever. Like a bird in a cage. Then I won’t say anything.”

 

 

Kkwak.

 

She tightened his tie a little and turned her body without regret.

 

 

“Okay, now let’s go back. I’ve said everything I wanted to say…Ah, I’m not usually one to let things like that slide…that sexual harassment you did before. I’ll forgive you. It’s funny for a human to get angry at an animal, isn’t it?”

“….”

 

 

 

 

Finally, Aran exploded.

 

 

 

 

She didn’t see Aran as human, and there seemed to be no room for improvement.

 

 

If her attitude doesn’t improve, things like today will happen frequently in the future, so there’s no point in enduring today.

 

Besides, she’s even trying to mess with Iliana.

 

 

He can’t let it go.

He shouldn’t.

 

 

 

 

 

“You brought this on yourself. I tried. I tried to endure.”

“Huh? What did you say?”

 

 

Bueok!

 

 

When Aran waved his hand, the dress Huana was wearing tore mercilessly, revealing her pale skin.

A red underwear was also visible.

 

 

“…Huh?”

 

Even as she was trying to recognize what had happened, Aran’s actions continued.

Once again, his hand moved and even the lower part was torn.

 

 

In just a few seconds, she went from a graceful woman dressed in a dress to a woman who had been through rough times here and there.

 

 

“You’re so noisy. You want to suppress others and use your power so much? Then I’ll do that for you.”

“Wh…what are you doing!”

 

 

Aran grabbed her as she retreated, covering her exposed skin with both arms.

 

 

“Ahk! Let go of me!!”

 

He dragged her, resisting with all her might, to the bed.

 

 

“What the hell is this!! Can’t you let go of my dirty hand right now?!!”

 

 

Huana, still not understanding the situation, shouted.

Aran ridiculed her and threw her onto the bed.

 

 

“Ahk!”

“You don’t seem to understand, so let me tell you. You’ll be raped by me here and live as my slave for the rest of your life. Of course, it’s a secret to others.”

“Ha…that’s why you shouldn’t get close to dirty commoners. Do you think you’re anything? You’re nothing. You just steal your subordinates’ achievements and act like you did them, right?”

“Is that so? Then try to escape from this situation.”

 

 

Aran took off his pants and underwear.

His magnificent thing stood up as if it would ascend to the sky.

 

 

“!!! Fil…thy! Guards!! Is anyone there!!!”

 

Since she had no power of her own, she urgently called for someone.

 

And then she sneered at Aran, who was walking towards her on the bed.

 

 

“Kekeke. I told you, you guys have no knowledge. You’re going to lay a hand on me? Someone like you? It’s over as soon as the guards come! Do you think my mother can protect you after you’ve done this?!”

“Is that so?”

 

Aran, unconcerned, walked towards her, dangling his monstrosity.

The soft bed seemed to symbolize the woman’s body that he would soon violate, and his excitement heightened.

 

 

“But what to do? Do you know what ‘Gimak’ is? It’s something that prevents sound from going out.”

“…What?”

“Haha. You should have listened to your sister more often. I told you to practice martial arts. You didn’t listen, and now look what happened.”

 

He slowly approached her, and Huana felt that something was wrong.

 

 

“Co, come in quickly!! Come and stop this guy!!!”

“I told you, no sound can go out.”

“Right now…”

 

Ttchack – !

 

 

Her cheek turned to one side, and her beautiful hair scattered in the air.

 

 

Aran brought his face close to her, who was dazed with a red cheek.

 

 

“Get a grip.”
