I Proposed While Drunk and Now the Princesses are Obsessed.

Episode 173: 0th Princess, Reunion, Forced Marriage (48)

“Well? I could let you lick it.”

Jaekiel realized that the thing he had feared had happened.

Akne had endlessly preached her thoughts to the princesses, and it seemed like it worked.

The once utterly businesslike Second Princess Hedera making such an advance was truly hard to believe.

“…”

The problem was that it was quite effective.

Was it a natural response for any man? No, it was a scene that would captivate anyone.

The Second Princess Hedera’s appearance was already exceptional, and now, she had removed her pantyhose for him to see. This meant that she wasn’t wearing any fabric under her dress.

She crossed her legs, barely covering her private parts, and slowly extended one snow-white foot to tempt him. How many could possibly ignore it?

‘This is dangerous.’

It struck him that Hedera, who had acted with such dignity before, now seemed anything but dignified.

Now, deliberately behaving this way, Hedera’s body seemed completely sensual. Starting with her generously proportioned chest, the curves flowing down to her hips made it so.

If Hedera, after hearing Akne’s words, had become like this, how far would Akne herself go? Jaekiel was idly pondering such things.

“As much as you want, you can touch me however you like.”

Hedera spoke, wiggling her toes.

He almost used all the tickets. Without realizing it, he asked.

“Are you serious?”

“I am. Or should I say it’s a lie?”

Saying that, she spilled wine over her foot.

The scent of wine mixed with her snow-white, perfectly curved foot. Hedera, maintaining an extravagant posture, whispered as she continued.

“All you need to do is use the tickets on me. You really think I’ll only let you touch my feet? There are so many parts to the human body; after all, we can get to know each other, one by one… Hmm?”

Hedera’s confident words trailed off into a sultry tone because Jaekiel suddenly knelt down and began tending to her foot.

“Au-Au-Auditor…?!”

Hedera shuddered, staring at Jaekiel. She had confidently tempted him, but it seemed she didn’t expect him to actually touch her.

However, Jaekiel’s movements weren’t affectionate. He was simply wiping her wine-soaked foot.

“It’s not acceptable. Spilling wine on your precious body like this.”

“Ughhhh…”

With her face turning bright red, as if it was about to burst, Hedera covered her mouth with one hand.

“I will think carefully about the tickets.”

When Hedera tried to say something in rebuttal, Jaekiel applied pressure to the foot he was holding. He immediately realized that this was an effective way to silence her.

“Ah…”

The Princess could only groan softly for a while, occasionally nodding her head.

The temple inside the Palace.

“Repent.”

Golden eyes, filled with a piercing gaze, were directed toward the women who bowed their heads deeply.

The person was none other than the Empire’s angel, Third Princess Solana. The women repeatedly apologized.

“We’re sorry. We were talking instead of praying when we should have been more diligent… We’ll make sure this never happens again…”

“You were talking about the Auditor, weren’t you?”

The women, who were apologizing with their heads bowed, fell silent instantly. What Solana had pointed out was a bit different from what they had expected.

However, they couldn’t ask her to elaborate.

Whoooooong.

A divine aura bloomed around the Princess, radiant yet unusually cold and chilly today.

“The Sun God forbids the greedy pursuit of lust. If you seek something vulgar or lewd, you will surely commit a sin.”

“…”

The women quietly murmured to themselves.

It was clear that they had made a mistake by chatting during prayer time, but looking at Solana’s appearance, they found it hard to understand.

‘Her outfit is quite bold…’

‘Why is she suddenly dressed like that?’

‘Vulgarity and lewdness… Well, first of all, her outfit…’

These were the thoughts that crossed the minds of the women.

Solana’s outfit was incredibly bold.

She usually wore a wide, white robe, but today she wore something that couldn’t even be called an outfit. Perhaps calling it a covering would be more accurate.

It merely covered the important parts like a tent, leaving her hips, thighs, and the firm flesh of her chest boldly exposed.

Why on earth would she wear such clothes? The women couldn’t understand it at all.

One of the women gathered the courage to speak.

“Your Highness, we did talk about the Auditor, but it wasn’t out of romantic interest. He’s just a person who’s been in the news lately…”

“No. Do not mention him.”

The Third Princess muttered sharply.

“And there’s another verse in the Sun God’s doctrine: Do not covet what belongs to others. The Auditor surely belongs to someone. Do not speak of him freely.”

“Yes, yes… we will obey…”

The Princess seemed a bit odd today, but despite that thought, the women bowed their heads.

No matter how much curiosity grew in their hearts, they didn’t want to ask while fighting against the divine power Solana was emanating.

“Now go. You should be praying diligently.”

“Then, we’ll take our leave now…!”

After the women hurriedly left, Solana remained in place for a while. She knew well that things weren’t adding up.

The Saintess quietly clasped her hands together and murmured.

“That’s right. It’s a contradiction… I’m supposed to be a saintess, yet my feelings for the Teacher are greater than my devotion to the Sun God. Maybe I’m not worthy.”

She suddenly reflected on her feelings. Why was Solana so sensitive today?

The answer soon came to her.

The Auditor had woken up after a week, and the women were gossiping that the Second Princess had immediately taken him to her residence. She couldn’t let that slide.

“I spend the whole day thinking about what the Teacher wants, what he does, what he struggles with, and what I can do to bring him joy…”

That muttering wasn’t prayer.

“If you touch me, I don’t mind. I can endure and bear it because I’m kind. But the Teacher… the Teacher is different…”

Clench. Solana clenched her hands tightly.

“I told you not to touch the Teacher.”

But then…

“Solana?”

The fierce expression Solana had was immediately softened when she heard Jaekiel’s voice.

Jaekiel carefully examined Solana’s outfit for a while, then made a subtle expression.

“Your outfit is uncharacteristic for a saintess. Did you wake up in a hurry today? Didn’t have time to put on proper clothes?”

But why?

For some reason, Solana’s ears only heard the question about waking up in a hurry.

“Ah… Teacher, you’re worrying about me.”

“Go change your clothes, and don’t worry about calling me separately. I’ll think about the tickets on my own and pass them on.”

Jaekiel quickly left after saying that, muttering briefly about how he was going crazy because of Akne.

Worried that the other princesses might drag him to their residences like Hedera, he made a preemptive move, but Solana’s golden eyes only seemed hazy.

The gaze of a girl in love.

When something uncertain happens, some interpret it to their disadvantage, while others interpret it in their favor. Hedera was the former, and Solana was the latter.

Solana, without realizing it, thought to herself.

She had just woken up, was tired, and was dealing with the trouble caused by the Second Princess, but Jaekiel still came to see her first. He came to check on her.

This outfit was the one the Spider Goddess had mentioned, and she wondered if it was effective. In any case, she was very happy just to have exchanged a few words with Jaekiel.

…He’ll use the tickets on her, of course, right?

Thinking that, Solana murmured softly.

“…Ah, indeed, the Teacher and I are destined.”

“Finally, the time for choice had come. The three princesses were gathered in one place. However, it was hard to even call this a gathering of princesses, as the First Princess looked at the other two ‘fallen’ princesses and felt truly sorry for them.”

“First Princess, you’ve spoken out again…!”

The messenger of the First Princess was flustered, not knowing what to do. But the one who had spoken, Ether, seemed completely nonchalant.

“I didn’t say anything wrong. What on earth are you wearing? Two bitches are sitting here, trying to be seductive.”

“Calling us bitches, how uncivilized.”

“There’s no more appropriate way to put it. You’re both in heat, aren’t you?”

Hedera clicked her tongue.

But in fact, Ether’s words had a point.

Solana and Hedera wore bold outfits that revealed more than they concealed. This was clearly a sign that they were determined to win today.

Meanwhile, Solana found Ether’s attitude puzzling.

She seemed very relaxed, with her outfit being just a plain uniform.

But above all, what irritated the other two princesses was her ease.

…An oddly overwhelming sense of ease. As if she were someone who already had everything, flaunting that confidence?

Solana asked with curiosity.

“Has there been a change in your feelings? Last time, you used every trick in the book to try and get the Teacher’s attention.”

“Well, it seems like you’ve developed a sense of superiority all of a sudden.”

At that, Ether scoffed.

“Trick? Sense of superiority? I don’t have any of that.”

She shrugged and let out a relaxed sigh.

“Well, you two, being uncivilized, probably can’t understand.”

“…”

Solana and Hedera narrowed their eyes and glared at Ether.

What’s with that irritating confidence? Does she have something to rely on? Why does she have such an unpleasant air about her?

It was at that moment that Jaekiel appeared. Without hesitation, he got straight to the point.

“I will now explain how the five tickets will be used.”

For a moment, the princesses immediately straightened their posture.

The question now was how Jaekiel would use the five tickets.

It was the most anticipated matter for them.
