Episode 34.

After returning from the Roberts Mansion, I was examining the Necklace of Truth.

If you leave it on the table, it’s just an ordinary necklace. But the moment it touches my body, a soft light flows from the jewel.

Princess Sera has no magical powers.

This is a setting that is clearly nailed as a narrative in a novel.

But why is this necklace reacting to me?

I and Princess Sera in the novel are not completely the same person.

A unique and extremely important difference that changes the flow of the story here and in the novel. Of course, that means I am in the body of Princess Sera.

Are you saying that the difference is generating magic in me?

Princess Sera has no magical powers. So, is it I, the one who came inside Princess Sera, who has magical powers?

Originally, I was just an office worker tired of working overtime. It is far from fantasy such as magic.

It’s just that he didn’t have a chance to manifest his magic, but he actually had the potential?

Or maybe there was a change in the grand trend, like the fate of Carmel in obtaining the Book of Enekra.

Well, okay.

The reason is probably good. The important thing is that I have magical power.

In other words, you can use the Necklace of Truth directly. Moreover, there may be an opportunity to learn useful magic in the future.

It is welcome that the number of weapons that can be used is increasing. In particular, not having the means to protect myself is one of my biggest risks. Maybe it could be a way to overcome that.

Anyway, right now, the Festival of Swords comes first. I slipped the Truth Necklace under my clothes and left the door.

The time in which Queen Carmel can move freely is limited. It is only in that free time that he can sneak into the Knights’ Order and carry out tricks.

According to the schedule I figured out, Carmel should be moving soon.

I headed straight to Carmel’s room. In front of the door, I encountered a skinny maid.

“Is your mother inside? I have something to tell you.”

“The queen said she was just sleeping. The order is not to let anyone in except His Majesty the King. Including the princess.”

“Really?”

The maid bowed her head to me and turned away. I was watching her back as she walked down the hallway.

Is your name definitely Sophia?

This is a low-level maid whose face I have seen before. My job is mainly cleaning. It is quite suspicious that Sophia, who is not the queen’s exclusive wife, comes out of Carmel’s room at this time.

In fact, I didn’t even need to think.

Sophia looked different to me thanks to the Necklace of Truth. In the form of Carmel wearing a maid uniform.

It’s a fairly rare outfit. There won’t be many opportunities to see Carmel, who has the status of queen, wearing a maid’s uniform.

Watching Carmel’s back moving away, I hurried down the stairs.

“I captured you as you asked, princess.”

Philgret and two knights enter my room. Pilgret made one of the maids he had captured kneel in front of me.

“My, what did I do? Wow, princess! I really didn’t do anything!”

The maid who was caught by Pilgret, none other than Sophia, appealed with an expression that contained all the injustice in the world.

To Philgret and the two knights, she will definitely be seen as Sophia. But to me, its original appearance is clearly revealed.

The Necklace of Truth that can change shape, show illusions, and see through the magic of all lies. I could definitely feel its efficacy.

Depending on my will, I could see it as Sophia, as Carmel, or as both sides overlapped.

“Princess, ah… the angelic Princess Sarah! Please look over me! I really didn’t do anything!”

Unlike her usual haughty face, Carmel’s appearance as a lowly maid really stimulated my heart.

Carmel herself would never have imagined that she was using that sniffling expression on her own face.

After admiring that face, I asked Philgret.

“What about body search?”

“I did not have anything that could be used as a weapon. A detailed search is yet to be conducted.”

When the topic of body searches comes up, Sophia’s and Carmel’s faces turn pale. I said with a grin.

“Take off all your clothes except your underwear. Still, I, as a woman, will conduct the body search myself. Pilgret, please search the clothes that were removed.”

“Yes? Now, now, just a moment! What did I do… Don’t touch me!”

The character has become disorganized. Sophia is not the type of person who can react so violently. Of course, this is a difficult situation for Carmel to accept.

“Stay still. It’s the princess’s order.”

As Philgret blinks, the two knights grab Carmel’s body. In that state, Philgret took off Carmel’s clothes.

“My, you know who I am… Tsk…”

Carmel, who was trying to say something that Sophia couldn’t say out of shame, bit her lip. Only resentment and resentment spread across his face.

And anxious gazes fly towards me. If you come this far, it would be natural to have suspicions that your identity may have been revealed. I gently avoided Carmel’s gaze.

Eventually, all of the clothes she was wearing were removed, leaving behind only black underwear that was too flashy for a low-class maid to wear on Carmel’s body. I motioned to the knights to let her go.

“I’m sorry, Sophia. With the sword festival coming up, I don’t want to leave even the slightest excuse. Please understand, I will finish it soon.”

“Woo, ugh…”

The sight of Carmel, unable to do either this or that, was truly like the ultimate delicacy.

Carmel usually showed a little bravado no matter how humiliating the situation was. But now, Carmel, who plays poor Sophia, was clearly showing her fragile and anxious appearance.

I approached Carmel with a soft, reassuring smile. Then he went behind her and whispered softly in her ear.

“Stand upright and open your arms, Sophia.”

“…Yes…”

In the end, Carmel seems to have decided to accept this situation. I raised my arms to shoulder height without resistance.

So I stretched out my arms from behind and started searching Carmel’s body. Of course, it would be meaningless to search for areas that can be seen directly.

I put my hand inside the bra and started massaging Carmel’s raw breasts.

Carmel spoke Sophia’s voice with shaking eyes.

“Wow, princess… this is…”

“Please be patient. Because I want to believe in you too, Sophia.”

Except for Pilgret, who is rummaging through her maid uniform, the knights are looking this way in case of an unexpected situation. It would be a small consideration as a knight not to stare openly.

Even so, it would be shameful. She was the queen and had higher self-esteem than anyone else, but she was almost naked in a room with men. Carmel must have been feeling great shame and humiliation.

But I had no intention of stopping like this.

Considering the shamefulness of what Carmel has done, no amount of humiliation is enough. Unable to control my excitement, I placed my hand on Carmel’s back.

Then, he released the hook and peeled off Carmel’s upper body, leaving nothing behind.

“…Uh…?”

Carmel looked back at me with an expression of disbelief at what had happened to her. His body seemed frozen in shock and fear. I casually took off the bra and looked around.

“Hmm, it doesn’t seem like there’s any space to store anything… I can’t see any suspicious items. I’ll give it back to you, Sophia.”

“Ah, ah… Ugh…”

Carmel’s large chest rises and falls in time with her anxious breathing. This wonderful shaking will not be visible to the knights. It would be recognized as Sophia’s poor body.

I put a bra on Carmel’s chest. There is only one search location left. I placed my hand on Carmel’s lower body.

But it seems like he just couldn’t bear it. Sophia disobeyed my command and grabbed both my arms.

“Wow, wow, princess… Well, just there… Please, please…”

My heart feels moistened by the sight of Carmel shaking her head with a tearful expression on her face as she tries to imitate Sophia. Before he could fully appreciate it, the knights rushed in and twisted Carmel’s arm.

“Ah, ah!”

“How dare you touch the princess! This lowly thing!”

Carmel glared at the two knights with almost murderous intent. I smiled softly and spoke to the knights.

“Stop. Don’t be too rough. As a lady, isn’t it natural to feel embarrassed? As a woman, I can completely understand.”

“Ha, but princess… this bitch…”

“Didn’t I just say it was okay? Please let go. It’s a command.”

At the word of command, the knights immediately let go of Carmel and returned to their original positions. Carmel gritted her teeth as if she couldn’t control her anger towards them.

Well, I guess I can’t blame anyone. Everyone is self-employed. It was Carmel’s own choice to plot by taking on the form of Sophia.

I whispered into Carmel’s ear as her body trembled.

“Don’t worry, Sophia. You wouldn’t be able to hide something with such thin fabric. Instead of taking it off… I’ll just touch it with my hand and check.”

Carmel still looks confused. Does she know my identity, or am I just teasing the poor maid?

But now she has no other option than to accept this situation. Carmel finally answered with a small nod of her head.

“…Yes…Princess…”

Haha, I really can’t stand it.

Feeling a dark joy welling up in my heart, I placed my hand between Carmel’s thighs.
