Episode 27

The next morning, I woke up feeling refreshed.

Although my sleep time was extremely short, I felt extremely refreshed. I stretched out my arms and legs on the bed.

The events of last night come back to me sporadically, as if I had experienced them in a dream. But it’s not a dream. It’s the best moment of my life that I experienced myself. Including my past life.

The touch of Carmel that touched me. I even touched the body to my heart’s content, which seemed to make me fall in love just by looking at it.

The inside of Carmel is so wet and soft…

No, let’s stop thinking about this from the morning. If I do it wrong, I think I’ll be in a dirty mood all day.

The clothes I wore last night while escorting Carmel, whose legs were shaking, to her room had become damp with sweat and bodily fluids.

Of course, it’s not just Carmel that gets wet. Thanks to this, I had to change my underwear before going to bed.

I’m looking forward to meeting Carmel today. What kind of face will Carmel, who suffered so much last night, greet me with?

Suddenly, there is a knock on the door. They were maids who helped with morning grooming.

After leaving the girls to freshen up, I left the room to have breakfast.

* * *

“Good morning, Sarah. You seem to be in a particularly good mood today.”

“Yes, father. Actually, I had a dream. It was a very, very wonderful dream.”

I exchanged greetings with Fehat while sitting at a table set out with a sumptuous meal for breakfast. Carmel, who was sitting next to Fehat, seemed to have shadows under her eyes.

Well, you might be tired. Both mentally and physically.

I smiled and spoke to Carmel.

“Did your mother have a good dream too?”

“Yes, what…”

Carmel gave no reaction and turned her head away. But it seemed to me that Carmel’s heart was visible.

The moment she faced me, Carmel must have vividly remembered the humiliation of yesterday. It’s not that we don’t make eye contact, it’s that it’s difficult to make eye contact. Well, it won’t be easy to smile and eat with the daughter who violated you.

Fehat didn’t seem to have much thought about the subtle air currents that flowed between me and Carmel. The meal began naturally as the King reached for the food.

As I ate my food elegantly, I glanced at Carmel. As soon as the food came in, Carmel seemed to be regaining her vitality. But he still wasn’t paying any attention to me.

At that time, Fehat suddenly spoke to me.

“Hmm, Sarah. Do you have anything to say to the queen? You were only looking at the queen earlier…”

It looks like this guy doesn’t live without any thoughts. I smiled and answered Fehat.

“It looks like your mother is not feeling well. Out of worry, I ended up looking a little too closely. Are you okay, mom? Aren’t you having trouble sleeping?”

Carmel must have already noticed that I was looking at her the whole time. You probably already know what I want.

Making me conscious of last night’s humiliation.

For the first time, Carmel’s eyes met mine. In the center of the tired eyes, there was something like a strong will.

A determination that will never give in to me.

“Not at all. It is a peaceful state, no different from usual. Princess, why don’t you mind your own business?”

Ah… as expected, Carmel is the best.

It touches me much deeper in my heart than my reaction to being vaguely conscious of what happened last night.

Last night, even though Carmel suffered extreme humiliation, she was trying to act as if nothing had happened.

Even though her pussy was being pounded, her tongue was intertwined in a calm manner, she was letting out raw moans, and in the end she was crying out loud and showing all her female form… as if nothing had happened.

I really can’t get tired of this.

Fehat, who did not know the details, seemed taken aback by Carmel’s harsh words.

“Wow, the queen… To react so sharply… Sera just said that because she was worried about you.”

“No, father. I was rude. I’m sorry for staring at you so intently, Mom.”

“Uh, um…”

Fehat scratched his head at my reaction, which was faithful to the character of Princess Sera. Of course, it would just look abominable to Carmel.

“Heung…”

Carmel coldly turned her gaze away from me. Carmel’s characteristic arrogance returned as she used a fork and knife to bring a piece of salmon to her mouth.

I also continued eating with graceful movements. Is it because my mind has become richer? The original taste became even more delicious.

* * *

There is quite a lot to do today. First, we must prepare to liberate Rika according to the conditions.

The promise made to Carmel is that Rika will be released after two days. All preparations must be completed within today and sent out to Luli.

If you simply want to escape the royal palace security, you can do this at any time through Pilgret. But I needed time to make special preparations. I had to hide the fact that Pilgret had become my personal subordinate.

For that ‘preparation’, I headed to the headquarters of Roberts Company.

“Welcome, princess. Hey, what happened here…”

“I come today not as a princess, but as the guardian of Baron William Roberts. To review the status of Roberts Chamber of Commerce. By the way, what is your position and name?”

The man, who was otherwise sweating profusely, looked as if he was almost strangled.

“He is called Grus. Count Roberts all along… Oh, no, he was serving as Graham’s counselor.”

“Can I understand this by saying that you have been managing the business since Graham was exiled?”

“Ah, yes, yes…”

I opened the ledger he had placed on the desk. And then I began to look closely at the contents inside.

Checking numbers, items, dates, etc. written on paper to find errors. Suddenly, I remember my previous self. I don’t miss those days when I spent 18 hours a day just looking at documents.

I looked at the stacked ledgers in silence until the tea that Grus had served cooled. When I finally closed the last page, I said to him:

“There’s no problem. Everything is normal.”

Grus’ face finally found relief. But after hearing my next words, his face immediately returned to its original state.

“It’s a well-made ‘normal’ ledger. This is not what I want, Grus.”

“Yes, yes? W-what are you talking about…”

“Didn’t I tell you at the beginning? I am here now as the authorized guardian of Baron William Roberts. Did you plan to show this fake even if William himself came? So, can we say that you are planning to betray the Roberts family?”

Grus’ face turned pale. In this respect, he resembles his old master very much.

“Well, that’s… Tsk…”

It is natural for someone who has received the blessings of the Roberts family to be wary of me. But now, as William’s guardian, I am no different from William himself.

Grus seemed even more confused because he was aware of it.

“It is I, Sarah Lustier, who uncovered Graham Roberts’ sin. So there is no point in hiding it from me. If you were Graham, you would have kept a complete record of ‘things that should not be traded’, right?”

The reason Graham was caught was ultimately due to his obsession as a merchant. In the end, Grus lowered his head with an expression that gave up everything.

“You came here knowing everything…”

“Yes. But don’t worry. As I said, I came here not as a princess but as William’s guardian. I do not intend to do anything that is against his interests.”

Grus soon brought back a padlocked notebook. Unlike the earlier ones, which appeared to have been written by a stenographer, it appeared to have been handwritten by Graham himself. The handwriting may have been changed.

What was written there was about the dark side of Roberts Company.

Details of transactions of goods prohibited by Lustier’s laws. Although it was smaller than the previous smuggling, it also included opium. Among them, I was able to find the item I wanted.

Hypnotic scent.

Of course, the word hypnosis in the name did not mean a dramatic effect. It was impossible to control a person’s mind, as is commonly portrayed. It is only a supporting role.

All it does is put the person who smells the scent into a dazed state and somewhat amplify the sounds of the mind. But that will be enough.

In the novel, it was something that Graham Roberts himself used on Princess Sarah… but now his position has completely changed.

“Where are these items stored? I have to see it with my own eyes.”

“Yes…”

Groose seemed to have decided that there was no point in hiding it anymore. Following his guidance, I headed to the basement of the headquarters.

Grus stopped in front of a bookshelf on the basement wall. And I changed the position of the book here and there, like putting together a puzzle. Then the bookshelf rotated along with the wall, revealing a passage to a hidden space.

Inside were piles of rare items purchased by the Roberts family. It seemed that it was not just an item to be hidden, but also a place to store slush funds.

I was able to find a hypnotic scent there.

As described in the novel, it was contained in an exotic type of incense burner. When the seal was opened and heat was applied, the hypnotic scent was made to bloom immediately.

I have no intention of using this on Carmel.

Carmel is too luxurious an ingredient to be pickled in sugar. This is only an auxiliary material. It was the perfect item to use as a side dish to highlight Carmel.

Rika is still trapped underground. I smiled, remembering those rebellious eyes.
