18. Wait, Juana.

Aran snapped to attention and greeted her back.

With as much etiquette and grace as he knew.

 

 

“Nice to meet you. I’m Narci…. I go by that.”

“You’re truly beautiful. I think I’m going to fall for you.”

“Oh, please… Your Highness is just as much of a beauty.”

 

 

Huana and Aran showered each other with compliments.

 

 

‘Is she putting on an act in front of her mother? That dirty bitch.’

 

He wanted to flip everything over, but Cornelia and Sprout were on his mind.

 

 

In fact, Aran’s thoughts were half right and half wrong,

It was true that Huana was acting coy in front of Cornelia, but even if she met the female Aran alone, she wouldn’t have shown a much different reaction.

 

 

If she was the daughter of Cornelia’s friend, she couldn’t be a commoner, and even if she was a commoner, she couldn’t see the Emperor’s friend’s daughter as an ordinary commoner.

Besides, she wasn’t a man, so from Huana’s point of view, there was no reason to ignore her.

 

 

 

 

Dugun! (Thump!)

 

 

 

 

While Aran was chewing out Huana,

Huana was quite embarrassed by the sudden throbbing of her heart.

 

 

‘W-what is this…?’

 

 

Her heart was pounding like she was running at full speed, and her face turned red for no reason.

As if she had fallen in love at first sight!

 

 

‘No way… it can’t be… there’s no way I would.’

 

 

She denied it with all her might.

 

 

Just because she hated men didn’t mean she loved women.

But unlike her heart, her heart beat faster and faster.

 

 

‘This is ridiculous…!’

 

Huana slowly scrutinized Aran.

She seemed to be lost in some kind of thought, but she certainly had the beauty and haughty charm that anyone could like.

 

‘Am I really… really falling for her…? Really?’

 

 

It was hard to deny it because her heart was beating so fast.

 

 

 

Cornelia’s words broke her reverie.

 

 

“This kid is a Tier 7 powerhouse, even though she looks like this. Treat her well.”

“Huh? Tier 7?”

 

Huana and Sprout, who was next to her, were greatly surprised.

Aran’s Tier 6 was surprising enough, but Tier 7?

 

 

She felt like her heart was beating even faster.

 

 

‘C-calm down… calm down….’

 

 

She desperately maintained her poker face.

That was the talent she was allowed.

Absolute poker face!

 

 

She couldn’t let her face crumble because of something like love (?).

 

 

Of course, it wasn’t something like love, but….

 

 

As Aran transformed into a woman, the mana she emitted became even stronger, and the scent of Baemgnuil contained in that mana had a great effect on Huana, who was her servant.

That’s why she was trembling with awe and fear of her master even though she wasn’t being threatened.

 

 

However, Huana, who didn’t know this fact, could only think that she was trembling because she was in love.

 

 

 

 

 

 

‘Wait! What are you doing?!’

 

Aran glared at her in horror, but Cornelia laughed it off with a “Ahahaha!”

 

“Y-you’re amazing… Tier 7….”

 

 

Huana took a step closer.

Before she knew it, she had steeled her poker face and even made some kind of resolution.

 

 

“Why hasn’t someone like you been known?”

“She ran away because she didn’t want to be tainted by the world.”

“I didn’t run away.”

“That’s… a waste…!”

 

 

She approached Aran and held both of her hands.

As her body touched her, her body throbbed even more violently, and her pulse beat against her ears like a big drum.

This is definitely….

 

 

“Even though the world is a mess, Narci-nim’s power could change it for the better. Please lend me your strength!”

“It’s no use. That kid even refused the position of Duke.”

 

 

Cornelia skillfully made up a lie.

 

 

“That’s….”

“You’re right. I’m not very interested in the world.”

 

 

Aran quietly pulled his hand away.

 

 

At that moment, Huana’s heart sank.

She felt that way because she recognized it as love.

 

‘What should I do… I think I’ve really fallen….’

 

 

She listened to herself.

A huge, magnificent, and regular sound throbbed rapidly.

 

 

Hotness rose from her stomach,

Her face turned red,

Her breathing became rapid,

Her mouth spat out heat,

Her eyes looked at her lover,

And she captured that fleeting moment in her brain over and over again.

 

 

Is this love?

No,

If this isn’t love, then what is?

 

 

‘Ah… I think it’s love….’

 

 

Once she acknowledged it, the world seemed different.

 

 

Butterflies that she couldn’t even see flew across the fields,

And the chorus of insects sounded like a piano melody.

 

 

An aria by a vocalist was heard from somewhere,

And the bright sun and smiling clouds in the sky blessed her.

 

 

For some reason, she felt like she could get along with Aran now.

 

 

‘Hoo….’

 

 

She somehow calmed her restless heart and barely opened her mouth.

She felt like she would bite her tongue or stutter if she relaxed even a little.

 

 

 

 

“C-can we be friends then?”

“…Friends?”

 

 

She almost collapsed again at the sight of her slightly frowning, but Huana endured with the determination to somehow keep the line connected.

 

“Of course. She doesn’t have any friends anyway, so she’ll like it.”

 

Cornelia answered before Aran could.

 

 

“….”

 

 

Aran glared at her, but she avoided his gaze with a heehee.

 

 

‘Sigh….’

 

 

In the end, Aran nodded with a subtle expression.

 

 

“Okay.”

 

 

Hwaak! (Bright!)

 

 

At that moment, Huana’s expression brightened and she felt the atmosphere around her brighten.

 

‘I did it…!’

 

 

Huana’s expression was soaked in a dazed delusion.

 

 

 

 

.

.

 

 

 

“Is the person next to you… a maid?”

“Yes?”

 

 

Before parting, Aran asked.

Huana, who was flustered by the unexpected question, racked her brain to figure out his intentions.

 

 

The person next to a noble is usually a maid. There’s no reason to ask.

 

 

‘Well, she probably doesn’t know because she’s never lived the life of a noble.’

 

 

Aran… Narci, had greatly entered her heart. She could forgive everything and put aside all questions.

 

Huana made the most beautiful expression she could.

Her face was so warm and full of benevolence that anyone would believe she was a saint.

 

 

“She’s my confidante. She’s a maid, a friend, and a reliable warrior.”

“Your Highness….”

 

Aran invisibly frowned.

 

 

“I see. She’s a good person. You are, Your Highness.”

 

 

Huana’s face turned slightly red.

 

 

“Just call me Huana. We’re friends, right?”

“……Okay, Huana.”

 

 

 

 

 

.

.

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Hehe. Did you see that? Huana has changed a lot.”

 

Cornelia said happily.

She looked cute, but on the other hand, she also looked pitiful.

 

 

“Maybe you can get along with her too. Try to get along.”

“…I’ll try.”

 

 

Aran smiled bitterly.

 

‘Huana….’

 

 

Has she really changed, or is she just wearing a mask?

Reason couldn’t make an accurate judgment, but emotion already felt it was a pretense.

No, maybe he just can’t tolerate Huana.

 

 

‘I smell some kind of conspiracy…. strongly….’

 

 

There’s no evidence.

But he felt something.

He felt something quite unpleasant and frowning.

 

 

‘I’m sorry to Ayla, but I have to go to Huana first.’

 

 

 

 

 

.

.

.

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Haa… Haa….”

 

 

By the time she finished all her schedules, it was already night.

She would usually take Sprout with her to take a bath or chat, but she didn’t have time for that now.

Because she was filled with thoughts of Narci.

 

 

“What should I do… I think I’ve fallen hard….”

 

 

She thought she would never fall in love in her life…. Love came so suddenly.

She became distracted and her heart ached if she didn’t see her even for a moment.

 

 

“I miss her already….”

 

 

Suddenly, her body became hot.

At the same time, she felt disgusted when she thought of Aran’s heinous thing, but it was soon covered with love for Narci.

 

“Narci….”

 

 

Her hand slowly began to move down to her lower body.

It followed her smooth, curved lines and soon entered the inside of her thigh.

 

“Ah……how…how should I do it with a woman….”

 

 

Soon, her hand, which had entered the secret room, began to caress and caress her moist cave.

 

 

 

 

 

 

* * *

 

 

 

 

 

 

Aran, who had been wandering around outside, thought it was time and headed to the Imperial Palace.

He was in the form of a woman when he was wandering around places like the market, but now he had returned to being a man.

 

 

He easily infiltrated the Imperial Palace and immediately broke into the building where Huana was.

She might be sleeping by now, but he had no intention of being considerate.

 

 

“It’s too easy to get in. I should give them a word.”

 

 

No matter how strong Aran is, there are beings like Yuri in this world. Those who are Vampire Lords and possess immense power….

It wouldn’t be strange if there were more of those beings.

 

 

 

Anyway, he held his breath and went to Huana’s room, and the lights were still on.

 

“She’s not sleeping.”

 

 

He secretly wanted to torment her while she was sleeping, but there was nothing he could do if she was awake.

 

 

 

-Aeung… Haaht…!

 

 

 

Then, a woman’s moan suddenly came from Huana’s room.

The soundproofing was thorough, but Aran’s ears were so sharp that he could even hear that.

 

 

‘What?’

 

 

A sound he had heard often.

It was Huana’s moan.

 

 

Aran felt a sense of foreboding.

Could it be that she brought in a man?

 

 

‘…..’

 

 

He felt jealous for no reason.

It’s not that he loves or cherishes her, but he can’t forgive his slave-like being having an affair with another man.

 

 

He strode up to the door.

There were knights, but they didn’t notice Aran or hear Huana’s moans.

 

 

Saaa (Whoosh)

 

 

Aran used magic to put the knights to sleep and carefully laid them down next to the door.

Then he reached out to the door….

 

 

 

-Haeueueut…. Na, Naruciiii!

 

 

“????”

 

 

He froze in that position.
