Taming Her Highness the Princess

35 – Between misunderstanding and truth (3)

The current empire could be said to be peaceful. This is because the emperor, who returned from a long war of conquest a few years ago, mobilized all his administrative and military power to take care of the people’s livelihood.

Of course, there were still conflicts of this kind in the countryside outside the emperor’s influence, but it was not a big problem from a macroscopic point of view.

Because the emperor had strong military power. By scattering war-trained soldiers to various places to prevent and suppress various cultural clashes caused by the mixing of different ethnic groups, security was naturally stabilized.

Since security has stabilized, quarrels have disappeared, the road going up has become safer, and exchanges have increased. Trade also became active and the imperial treasury gradually accumulated, so the golden age of the empire would continue in the future.

‘Unless the emperor dies.’

What is an empire? When an emperor with great power rules over other peoples and countries, it is called an empire.

That is, the moment the emperor, who plays the role of the center connecting everyone, dies, a crack forms in the empire.

If the rift is not quickly closed, the peace that has continued on the surface will not be easily destroyed. It is said that it is only a matter of time before the empire is divided into quarters.

The ministers were not aware of this, so they were harassing the emperor every day, asking him to select a successor.

The medical doctors were also studying the treatment day and night in order to slow down the emperor’s soldiers even a little. But those in the know knew.

‘The emperor’s disease is a type that cannot be cured.’

Erethe, an officer of the Red Moon Castle and the prince’s teacher, was also one of those who knew that the emperor could not avoid his predestined death.

However, there were a few related questions, so Erete stopped by the main palace clinic under the pretext of getting medicine to relieve the prince’s fatigue.

It is smaller than a hospital, probably because it is a facility only for the treatment of the imperial family, but in terms of medical facilities, there was no better place in the world than this place.

The fact that they still haven’t been able to find a way to cure the emperor’s illness…… It also meant that the disease the emperor had far exceeded the normal level.

“Ah. Sorry to keep you waiting.”

Erethe, who was sitting on a chair in the waiting room, looked away. A royal doctor in a white coat was approaching with a cotton cloth filled with medicine, so Etere stood up and bowed lightly.

“It’s okay. I didn’t have to wait long.”

“Oh, I’m glad then.”

Hee hee laugh Eo Doctor hands over her cotton pouch to Erete. When Erete received the pouch, Eoui took out a handkerchief from her bosom and held it up to wipe the sweat from her forehead.

“I put some Mandrake roots along with the anti-fatigue. The root is finely ground, so you can mix it with warm water and serve it to Your Highness after dinner.”

“Ah. You’ve worked so hard for Your Highness, so I’m just grateful. I will do my best to convey the message to His Highness. However… ….”

Erete put on a worried expression and looked at her meaning.

“May I ask when Your Majesty will get better?”

The doctor let out a low sigh.

“This is something I shouldn’t say as a person with meaning, but…… To be honest, it’s hard to say for sure. She always seeks out good medicine and presents it to His Majesty, but her illness is getting worse day by day. In the first place, this is more like a mercenary, so there is no way for us to use our hands.”

“Hmm. Speaking of mercenaries, could it be related to the guardian dragon sleeping in the basement of the imperial palace?”

“Yes. As you know, the emperor accepted the guardian dragon’s offer to give him the strength to defend the country if he made a nest for him to sleep in, and made a large cavity in the basement of the imperial palace. In return, the guardian dragon shared his blood with the emperor.”

Erethe was familiar with the story.

Since the guardian dragon hadn’t appeared in over a hundred years, it’s now treated as one of the myths created to enhance the authority of the imperial family, but it definitely happened.

“Thanks to this, the emperor and his children were able to use the power of the dragon. However, for a mere human to use the dragon’s power is no different from gnawing away my own life. Your Majesty could handle the dragon’s power relatively freely, but…… In the end, he could not resist the mercenaries.”

Listening to the explanation of meaning makes the information you know clearer. I was thinking maybe this could be useful.

“Come to think of it, it seems that more and more people are looking for a doctor these days. The other day, Prince Jeniel also stopped by the clinic and asked a lot of questions.”

Jeniel? Erete, who was curious, asked back.

“You mean Prince Jenial stopped by the clinic?”

“Yes. He asked me a lot of questions about the plague that swept through the village of Baron Velodanea, located in the northeastern part of the Empire. I don’t know, but it must have been a big shock to me. Because the Duchess passed away because she was swept away by that contagious disease.”

“Ah. That terrible incident.”

“It is one of those tragedies that should never happen again. Fortunately, Princess Seryl, who stopped by the village with the Duchess, returned to the island safely. She really can say that God helped her.”

God helped. Erethe, looking back on the incident at that time, agreed with Eoui’s words with a faint smile.

“Yes. You can say that God helped.”

*

Irea, who came to the island with Jeniel, came to the subway station without hesitation. She decided not to ride her car because the reason she went to Jedo was to look back on the ‘life of the subjects’.

Even in the system, vehicles were quite expensive, so riding in a vehicle was not considered a normal life for the subjects.

“School, Professor… ….”

For some reason, Leah Irea felt scared at the crowd of people and the mixed voices, but she moved on, feeling relieved that Jenny Earl was by her side.

Jeniel took Irea to the box office and casually bought two tickets. He was anxious to see if the ticket office clerk could find out who he was, but that didn’t happen.

Thanks to her magic, she changed her hair color and changed her clothes to normal. In addition, it was great not to think that the imperial princess and the eldest son of the Mallaig family would come to the subway, which is mainly used by commoners.

Even if someone happened to recognize Irea or Jeniel, there was a high probability that they would just think it was someone with a similar face, so there was no need to be very careful.

“Two tickets to Red Square Station, here it is.”

“Thank you.”

After receiving the ticket handed over by the ticket counter staff, Jennie Earl took Ireah to her ticket counter. After showing the ticket to the station attendant at the entrance, Jenial went down to the basement to board the train.

There were several lights installed at regular intervals in the basement, so it was more uncomfortable than the ground. It was a neat interior, but I couldn’t help but feel the unique gloomy atmosphere given by a space with little light.

But as expected, standing next to the professor gives me a feeling of peace of mind. After relaxing a bit, Irea looked around.

From noble mtl dot com

A middle-aged man reading a newspaper with a frown on his face, a woman holding a child’s hand while talking, and even young men hugging their friends and playing pranks.

It was the first time I had seen subjects of the empire who were not nobles up close. Irea, who was looking around for something interesting, found a lover holding each other in the corner of the station.

“…… !”

Even though my face was burning for no reason, I was strangely envious to see a couple hugging each other and talking warmly.

Will he be able to do such a loving act with Jeniel someday? My heart is beating just imagining it, so the hands clasped in front of the skirt feel strained.

However, Jenial did not know Irea’s intentions. The fact that her face was a little reddened made me wonder if she was nervous because it was in a crowded place.

“Your Highness. Don’t be nervous. Aren’t I by your side?”

At her whisper, Ireah cleared her throat once and nodded her head slightly. It was a little strange to see her reddening up to her ears this time, but she decided to move on.

Kiyiyiik─

In the meantime, the train scratches the railroad and enters. After the bell rang a few times indicating that the train had arrived, people moved slowly.

After a while, the door of the train opens and people start boarding one by one. We had to board before the door closed, so Jenial whispered to Irea again.

“Your Highness. Ride first. I will follow.”

“Ah, yes. Okay.”

Irea takes a deep breath and moves on with her steps. Perhaps because of the thought of approaching unknown territory, she is strangely unnerved.

Still, Irea, who did not want to show a clumsy appearance in front of Jenny Earl, boarded the train quite naturally.

Ireah laughed inwardly at the thought that she had succeeded, and when she looked around inside her, she was full. That was a bit of a shock to her Irea.

It was not that she was shocked that there was no place for her to sit, but that it was disconcerting that so many people were sitting tightly packed in a space smaller than her own bathroom in her lotus palace.

She can’t sit down anyway, so she has to stand up. Ireah, who was wondering where she should stand, walked as far as possible to the empty side and grabbed her by the handrail.

The train honked and departed. Thanks to this, Irea was able to feel a strange sense of satisfaction.

‘The subway was easier than I thought.’

It made me feel good to think that I had conquered one of the islands’ public transportation. Of course, it was Jeniel who guided me to the station, took out the ticket, and received the ticket inspection.

‘I should brag to Ruinel. The subway wasn’t as big as I thought…… ?’

Ireah, who continued her thoughts, was startled. She felt something hard hit her ass and then fall as the train rumbled every now and then.

She had no idea at first, but after repeating it over and over again, she broke into a cold sweat. She remembered what she had heard from Ruinel yesterday.

─ It is said that there are especially many perverts on the subway. You must be very careful as they choose beautiful-looking women and commit sinister acts behind their backs.

Ireah, who was repeating Ruinel’s words, swallowed his saliva.

‘…… Pervert?’

She once overheard her words spoken by the maids of the lotus palace. When a man’s things start to get excited, they swell up and become hard.

I don’t know what it looked like, but from the words of the ladies-in-waiting and what Luinel said yesterday, I can guess what’s going on.

“Ah, yes… ….”

The hand holding the handle was losing strength. It was the first time this had happened, so I wasn’t sure how to deal with it.

In the meantime, hard objects continued to gently touch Irea’s buttocks before falling. If you continue like this, you will invade even more places.

Ireah, who thought she had to summon up her courage, looked back in anger. He turned his body to catch the molester, but Irea, who confirmed the person behind his back, was more embarrassed than he thought.

‘…… Professor?’

The person I thought was a molester was not a molester, but Jenial. But why is Jenial rubbing ‘that’ on her ass? I don’t understand, so I’m staring blankly at it, so Jenial expresses a question.

“Is there anything that makes you uncomfortable?”

“Mo, are you asking because you don’t know?”

Of course I don’t know. As Jenny Earl was silently looking at her, Ireah began to notice her surroundings. She wanted to tell her not to, but she couldn’t.

There are many people here. Not just a lot, but a lot. The moment he scolded Jenial, attention would have been drawn to him.

Ireah, who was hesitant, had no choice but to turn her body around. She thought that once she had given her a caution, Jenny Earl would never do anything weird again.

However, despite the wind, the hard object hit Irea’s butt and fell every time the train rattled.

‘Why, why are you doing this?’

That didn’t make sense to Irea. She thought she wanted to get close to Jennie Earl, but she didn’t want to get close to her this way.

So I hope you stop her perverted behavior, but Jenny Earle has been rubbing her dick in her ass ever since.

“Ah, well… ….”

Thanks to this, Ireah kept her eyes closed and let her moan secretly, but Jenny Earl only amplified her doubts. Because I couldn’t understand why it was doing this.

‘Where does it hurt?’

Every time the train rattled, the ‘pole of the cane’ that Jeniel was standing on sometimes touched Irea’s buttocks and then fell, but Jenial never thought that he was being misunderstood because of that.

“That, stop… ….”

Of course, there was no way she knew that, and she was feeling her shame alone.

“Now you have done enough. I’ll forgive you now…….”

The illusion created by Ireah, who is ignorant of her s*xuality, chokes Jen Earl. I was confused as to what on earth this side had done to bring out the word forgiveness.

“Gyo, professor, did you approach me for this from the beginning… ….”

I felt like I had become a bad guy because the pitiful voice aroused my sympathy.

‘…… Your Highness, why are you doing this to me?’

Jenial, who remained calm even when facing the red moon, felt fear for the first time in a long time.
