Chapter Index

    The royal palace’s drawing room was so neat that it seemed a bit morbid.

    No matter where I looked, I couldn’t see a single speck of dust, and there wasn’t even the slightest flaw in the pure white items that decorated the entire room. Even the scenery outside the window seemed to have been calculated, and the green scene that existed beyond the warm sunlight made me wonder how much the palace’s gardener had done. I could imagine what a headache it must have been.

    What was really surprising was that neatness did not go down as being beautiful. The drawing room was so dry that it created a scene that the aesthetic sense would not even respond to.

    It was my first time experiencing something like this, so I was just looking around in amazement when a man waiting next to me secretly whispered something in my ear.

    “The Queen will be arriving soon.”

    “Now? under. Maybe it’s because he’s under the delusion that it’s all about him, but he lives a really busy life.”

    At my one word, the expressions on the faces of some of the subjects waiting in the drawing room cracked. It’s difficult. This isn’t even a provocation, but it’s already annoying.

    If you start talking really rudely, I think you’ll start yelling.

    It won’t turn into a big problem since Benedick is waiting next to me.

    “Hehe. At some point, it became a habit. It’s hard to let go of things even though I know I can’t handle everything.”

    While I was sighing deeply, I heard a voice from behind me.

    I got up in surprise and saw the first queen and her assistants standing beyond the door.

    uh. When did you come!? I didn’t feel anything!?

    no. Even for me, isn’t it strange that even Benedick and Grandpa didn’t feel anything?!

    What kind of variable happened to the first queen?

    “I meet the majestic queen of the kingdom.”

    ““Meet the majestic queen of the kingdom!””

    Starting with Benedick bowing his head, those waiting in the room offered greetings to the first queen, but I could not do so.

    “Lady Aln.”

    The old man behind the queen noticed this, but it was impossible to bend my straight knees.

    What should I do! Even if I want to, I can’t! The Mesugaki skill doesn’t allow me to kneel!

    “Dear Lady!”

    “I almost died thanks to so-and-so who made a lot of foolish mistakes while trying to do everything on her own. Should I say hello to such an incompetent person?”

    “It’s cruel!”

    “Be polite!”

    “Why are the old people who barely have any luck left making such a fuss? I wonder why they pretend to be cheerful when they are eunuchs who can’t even stretch their genitals.”

    “Nothing. what. ”

    “No matter how much she is the daughter of a hero.”

    “Go there. Because it is true that the Lady corrected my incompetence on my behalf.”

    The old men, whose faces turned red and who thought they might die from high blood pressure while listening to Mesugaki’s criticism, suppressed their anger and took a step back.

    “Long time no see. Lady Aln. You seem to have grown slightly taller than before.”

    “You’ve seen me for so long that you even notice something like that? It’s a bit gross. It gives me goosebumps.”

    “You are a talented person who will lead the future of the kingdom. You can’t fail to notice detailed changes.”

    Ugh. It is confirmed that it was taken by the first queen. A person who doesn’t even remember the names of people he thinks are worthless can’t believe he cares about such small details.

    It would be better if it wasn’t on the bad side, but considering what I said last time, it would be difficult to be good.

    The first queen, who had been looking at me with bent eyes, sighing heavily in her heart, took a deep breath and raised her head to look at the subjects around her.

    “Mmm. Wouldn’t it only be if other people were next to you that it would interfere with the conversation? Everyone, please leave your seat for a moment.”

    “But queen.”

    “Benedict Alln Beck is next to you. What do you think could happen?”

    The old people who knew Benedick from his past rampage on the battlefield looked at his huge shoulders and then left the room in silence.

    So, only me, Benedick, and the first queen remained in the drawing room.

    “Aln bag. To you.”

    “You don’t have to worry about me. This time, I followed my daughter as her escort.”

    “Is the continent’s strongest knight a guard? Hehehe. It’s truly luxurious.”

    With a light laugh, the first queen sitting across from me smiles at me.

    On the outside, the expression was obviously full of kindness, but for some reason, I felt an icy coldness inside that expression.

    Perhaps the fact that even though the eyes are smiling, the pupils do not move at all is what makes me uncomfortable.

    “There are many things I want to share, but I already wasted your precious time, so let’s just point out one thing and get straight to the point.”

    uh? really? While I was chatting today, I was so caught up in books that I even imagined going up to the guillotine, so I would really appreciate it if you could get straight to the point!…

    “Why are you so wary of me?”

    …yes?

    “I never said anything to the lady. Even when I was rude in the past, I just laughed it off. But why is it that you treat me like an enemy?”

    de. Got caught?!

    I was caught openly being on guard!

    Was it too obvious?! I thought it wouldn’t be caught because of the Mesugaki skill, but wasn’t that true!?

    ‘grandfather! This is not the time to say such things! How to deal with it! How to deal with it!’

    ‘…uh. Still, it’s better than not knowing.’

    Because I know what this man is capable of doing to make his kingdom great!

    If you don’t watch out for this crazy bitch who is trying to turn her son into a god by saying this is the only way for the kingdom to regain its former greatness, then who should you be wary of?

    I won’t really mention it because you won’t believe me if I tell you anyway, but I know everything this person has done and will do, so I can’t possibly become friends with him!

    “Our Lucy is wary of Queen 1. Aren’t you mistaken?”

    “No. Aln bag. You are still wary of me.”

    what. Why is this person trying to read my thoughts through my expression like Karia!?

    “I’m not saying anything in particular. I just don’t understand.”

    The moment you mentioned it right before my eyes, it’s like you’re saying something?

    You’re not a person who doesn’t know your position, and you’re putting pressure on them even though you know!

    How naive you are! A witch who looks fine on the outside but is rotten and rotten on the inside!

    “Can I hear the reason?”

    When I met the cold eyes of the first queen, I was convinced that she would never let me go until she was convinced.

    What do we do. How can I make an excuse? What excuse should I make if my true intentions are discovered?

    Ugh. After all, I have no choice but to do that.

    After hearing my grandfather’s words and sighing, I leaned back against the backrest, crossed my legs, and gestured to the first queen.

    “Do you need a reason to dislike delusional psychopaths who are not good at anything?”

    “Is it due to personal preference? If that’s the case, I’m glad. I thought I heard something from Caria.”

    …Why is Karia here? As I was chewing on the name that I had never imagined, Benedick next to me opened his mouth.

    “Did you know?”

    “Caria herself didn’t really have any intention of hiding it right now, did she? He openly reveals his real name while working, so it’s even weirder that I don’t know it.”

    “Then.”

    “Ah. Do not worry. As long as Caria works for Lady Arlen, there is no reason for me to exclude her.”

    “Do you feel mentally unstable? Do you think they’ll believe me if I try to bury an old maid and now pretend to be friends?”

    1 What if the queen was not aware of Caria’s existence? If you are aware of her presence, you should not leave her alone.

    Now, if Caria is excluded by the first queen.

    a little.

    I feel very sick to my stomach.

    “Puhaha. gibberish. I think it would be more believable to say that I sympathize with someone who has become as ugly as he is because it is pitiful.”

    In the worst case scenario, I glared at Queen 1 with the intention of overturning this place before heading to the Fairy Forest, but Queen 1’s face didn’t even flutter the slightest bit.

    “The reason I wanted to exclude Karia in the past was because big problems could arise if I escaped from the embrace of her kingdom.”

    1 A smile appears on the queen’s lips.

    “But as long as Karia is under Lady Arn, there is no threat to the kingdom, right?”

    “Hmm. Do you think so?”

    “Of course. A lady who cherishes her friends would never harm the kingdom. I know it very well.”

    There is confidence on the lips of a madman who will do anything for the kingdom, or even for the kingdom, if he believes in it.

    “So, I have no intention of being hostile towards either Caria or the Lady. Why would I do that? There is so much harm to be gained by messing with you.”

    “The paranoid queen is afraid of this little boy, right?”

    “Yes. I’m afraid. What happens if you leave the kingdom?”

    Queen Ju-eok-in raised her head as if it were obvious, and continued speaking with a smile, with her hands folded on her legs.

    “So don’t worry. As long as you belong to the kingdom, I have no intention of harming you.”

    first. Is it safe to say that I have no intention of touching it right now?

    I’m glad. If you think about what this crazy bitch will do in the future, she will become hostile towards you at some point, but that will happen later.

    “Hmm. what. The delusional queen clings to me so earnestly, so I must nod my head, even if it is pitiful.”

    “Thank you. Lady Aln. So shall we get to the point? About the reward the young lady desires.”

    Whoa. Is this just the beginning?

    good. Let’s just do what we prepared.

    I’m only saying things that appeal to this kingdomist.

    Then, even if my tone is somewhat irreverent, you can probably get away with it to some extent!

    “What I want to ask for is help from the delusional queen. The queen is so incompetent and a fool that she puts a child like me in danger, but she still has power, right?”

    “What kind of help?”

    “It is help to increase the territory of the kingdom of Heojeop, which is smaller than the queen’s heart.”

    When the first queen heard what I said, I saw a moment of joy pass through her eyes.
