episode_0103

Today was a relatively peaceful day, at least for me.

Coincidentally, both Aisha and Ahmet were back in the dungeon, so they were planning to eat and roll around.

Some might say I’m lazy, but at least for me, as an orc, it was difficult to even go out into the city alone and wander around.

I knew without having to experience it myself that an orc wandering around the city center wouldn’t receive kind looks unless there was someone around to argue his case.

“Then··· I guess I ate··· Should I sleep a little more or exercise?”

I practiced whenever I was bored, just in case, and for my health, but sometimes it was annoying, and I couldn’t help it.

But my body was already lying on the bed.

“Hmm··· I guess I should sleep a little more.”

I wasn’t particularly sleepy, but I was just rolling around trying to kill time.

A sound that should not have been heard came to my ears.

dripping-

The knock on the door was loud and distant.

That’s why I knew the source of the sound was in front of the house.

‘Who is it?’

Although it was part of the city, the house was built in a remote place so there was no chance of anyone finding it by mistake.

Well then, it was either Angela or Estelle. It was one of the two.

“I was trying to take it easy··· I guess I don’t really need to.”

I got out of bed and walked over to the window, and as expected, Estelle was standing in front of the door.

But a completely unexpected stranger was standing next to her.

A dress that you can tell at a glance is that of a high-ranking official.

Purple hair that reaches down to her waist.

Slightly darker purple eyes.

Anyone who looked at them could easily guess that they were noble members of royalty or nobility.

“What the heck···”

It was understandable that Estelle came to the house.

Because I told you the location when I bought this house.

But I never imagined that I would bring someone with me.

That too, a dignified beauty.

“I guess I should go down first.”

Since I came with Estelle, it was as if she knew I was here and came here on purpose.

When I went down the stairs and opened the door, I was greeted with a grander welcome than I had expected.

“Wow! It’s really an orc!”

Hmm… I didn’t know when I looked down from above, but when I looked closely, she was a more lively beauty than I thought.

I don’t know who she was, but the beautiful woman in the gorgeous dress looked me up and down as if she was curious.

I looked at Estelle, wondering what on earth was going on, but she just avoided my gaze as if she was embarrassed.

“You said you could speak there?”

Is that all you’ve said?

It wasn’t exactly a huge secret, but it seemed like Estelle was quite weak to the girl in front of her.

Otherwise, I wouldn’t have brought you to my house like this.

“That’s what it is.”

“Wow! You’re really talking!”

Her purple eyes sparkled as if she had discovered a curious animal.

Not only that, his face was full of curiosity.

Her reaction, closer to pure curiosity than ignoring me as a monster, was rather embarrassing to me.

“But I don’t know who you are… I think you need some explanation.”

“That···That···”

I spoke while looking at Estelle, but she mumbled and evaded her words.

Instead of Estelle introducing herself, the unidentified beauty confidently introduced herself.

“Nice to meet you. My name is Reika, princess of the Kingdom of Zeph.”

“Princess···, you say?”

Hmm… Princess. This makes the situation even more confusing.

The Kingdom of Zeof was ruled by a queen, and the princess was practically the heir.

I couldn’t imagine why such a noble person would come to a house where orcs lived, and why he would live alone on the outskirts of the city.

But one thing was clear: Estelle was the culprit.

“Um··· I’m glad to meet you too··· But I have no idea why you came here.”

“It’s not that big of a deal. I just wanted to meet them once. Orcs are usually savage creatures you see in the arena, but they can talk… Isn’t that amazing?”

The princess is more curious than I thought. She came all the way to this remote city just out of curiosity.

“So now that you’ve seen it like this, are you thinking of going back?”

No matter what the situation was, I had no intention of just sending the beauty away.

Judging by her expression, Estelle didn’t want the princess to come here, but she was in no position to resist me.

In fact, Reika’s coming here was no different from jumping into a spider’s web.

“If you don’t mind, can I stay for a moment? I’d like to have a quick chat.”

“I guess it can’t be helped. I don’t mind talking to someone as precious as a princess.”

Estelle looked at me only then, perhaps sensing something ominous.

He had an expression on his face that seemed to say, ‘You wouldn’t be thinking of touching the princess, would you?’ but he smiled confidently.

“But just talking is a bit boring, so how about playing a simple game?”

“A game? If we can have a conversation about it, that’s definitely possible.”

“Of course. I think Reika will like it too.”

“I’m looking forward to that.”

“Please come inside and wait. I need to talk to Estelle for a moment.”

“Then excuse me.”

Although she seemed like a lively girl just by looking at her speech, Reika showed her courtesy with polite movements befitting a princess and entered the house.

Estelle looked at Reika with anxious eyes as she walked in, but soon met my eyes as she went upstairs.

“Okay, I guess you should give me a rough idea of what’s going on.”

“That’s··· The princess said she wanted to meet an intelligent orc···”

“So, you even said you could speak?”

“That··· I’m sorry about that. But it wasn’t that big of a secret···”

“That’s not wrong, but there’s something bothering me.”

Estelle was at a loss because the hierarchical relationship had already been reversed for a long time.

In fact, it was as if the princess had been interested in me as well, and had given me the opportunity.

Still, to capture the princess in the future, her support was needed.

“Can you help me with a few things instead?”

“do··· help me··· you bastard···”

“Didn’t you already notice? You probably know better than anyone what kind of orc I am.”

“Wow···! That··· That··· But still···”

Estelle’s body flinched momentarily as she recalled the past events.

When you first come here, you could easily imagine something like this.

At the point where I didn’t actively try to stop the princess, she was already on my side.

“If you help me, I’ll reward you with a nice present later.”

He grabs her springy butt and pulls it tight.

Estelle was dragged along without any resistance, and her body twitched as if expressing anticipation.

For the pleasure-loving female soldier, the pleasure-giving orc was more important than the princess, the heir to the kingdom.

“Ah··· Got it···”

“I saw earlier that Reika-sama seems quite active… Do you like betting?”

“I think he likes it··· After all, he often makes bets with me and other subjects···”

“Hmm··· That might be quite useful.”

It would be perfect to delve into the fact that he likes to bet and hypnotize him.

Judging from her reaction just now, Reika doesn’t seem to be feeling any aversion or discomfort towards me, so it should be easy to hypnotize her.

Playing the game naturally forces you to bet.

That was the first plan to capture the princess.

“Now we’re going to go up and play a game, so I need you to help me out a little bit.”

“Help me··· What are you talking about?”

“You’re pretending to be neutral, but you’re secretly helping me out. It’s a simple card game, and all you have to do is give me the highest number. I’ll mark it on the card.”

Since she came here alone with Estelle, Reika must trust her.

If that’s the case, then she can’t help it if she takes on the role of dealer and pretends to be neutral in her judgment.

Of course, hypnosis will become more effective.

“Are you telling me to scam the princess···?”

“Scam… That’s a bit harsh. Let’s just say it was a simple prank. But I’ll definitely compensate you.”

“Ah···! Huuuung···!!”

Estelle let out a strange moan as he roughly kneaded her clenched buttocks. Then she nodded with a slightly flushed face.

With this, the first step towards capturing the princess was taken.
