17. Duke of Estupina

On the way to the fountain of life, my personality continued to split.

making a funny face by making a face,

“hahahaha, fairy, look at this hahahaha!”

resolutely determined,

“I am the savior of the wicked women… It’s me!”

Laughing and spitting greedy words,

“ha ha ha! All the bad girls are mine! I’ll change it to my taste and I’ll have it all!”

In the end, I even made a promise like a hero in another world.

“I’m going to become the strongest in the world and start a harem!”

This is absolutely not my intention.

really.

The fairy’s eyes as she looked at me became sorrowful.

-You must have suffered a lot too. I’m sorry.

“⋯⋯.”

Now, I get sympathy for fairies like flying flies.

something strange feeling.

I asked the fairy when I came back to my senses.

“Only the place I came in has a broken boundary. Is there a reason?”

The fairy paused for a moment before opening her mouth.

-This is the place where the child of destiny will enter. But then a strange man came in.

Did you just call me a strange man? this dog… No, no. this is not my personality

I tried to keep my composure and questioned the fairy.

“How about a child of destiny?”

-I don’t think you need to tell me that… It is now the fountain of life.

As I walked behind the fairy who kept her mouth shut, the dense forest cleared away and I saw the sparkling spring water.

I could see how clean the water was, and I could feel the overflowing life force coming out of the surface.

“This is the fountain of life.”

The fairy patted me on the shoulder and started whining.

– Quickly drink from the fountain of life and get out of the forest!

“Ah, yes.”

I put my hands together and drank the spring water.

“Oh, the taste of water is killing me.”

It felt like all the fatigue that had accumulated before was blown away at once. Could this really be a panacea?

I began to be greedy for this fountain of life.

“Excuse me, can I take a little in a water bottle?”

-no way! Are you planning to sell this water to humans?

“No, absolutely not. Do I look like someone who is blinded by money?”

-Hmm⋯.

The fairy stared at me with shallow eyes.

“Actually, there is a woman I love, and I really wanted to give it to her as a gift. Couldn’t the merciful and great fairy be merciful to foolish humans?”

I croaked at the fairy like a fly rubbing its palm.

– Well, a little bit won’t matter. This is also a fate, but I won’t allow it!

Judging by the elated expression, it seems that flattery worked well.

“Ah, have mercy on me. Fairy, thank you!”

With the fairy’s permission, I started pouring the spring water into the jug.

‘This is enough to carry three 1.5-liter bottles.’

The fairy was taken aback when she poured water into the barrel with a groaning sound.

-You, how much are you going to carry!

“Not long. Does this keep coming out anyway? A merciful fairy is this much, isn’t it a big deal?”

-Kuhm⋯. Yes, I allowed it, so please forgive me for that much!

easy, easy Perhaps if the trickster had come into this forest, he would have been quickened all over his spine?

He stuffed a bottle full of spring water into his bag.

“Thanks to the fairy, I drank all the fountain of life, and I am very grateful.”

-joy! It’s nothing like this.

Even if the fairy’s nose is erected, it is too erect and is poised to pierce the sky.

As I put my bag on my back to get ready to go out, I felt the weight of the world.

‘Oh, it’s really heavy.’

-Now, if you’re done with your business, get out! This is the place where the Child of Destiny will come!

“Yes, yes. Don’t worry, I’m leaving!”

I hurriedly escaped the fairy forest because of the fairy’s irritation.

‘Anyway, I took quite a lot of spring water.’

The reason I took the spring water was to prepare for the upcoming assassination of the princess.

As a bonus, I plan to give it to Mikaris and Ronia as a gift.

Of course, I can’t just watch the princess drink the poisoned tea, so I’ll drink it instead.

The problem is how to participate in the tea time of the Crown Prince and Princess…

“⋯⋯.”

It was then that I came up with a good idea to hit my knees and go.

After disguising as a servant, wouldn’t it be possible to participate in tea time?

Although the prince knows my name, he does not know my face.

If you ask the princess to join the tea time, there will be no problem.

It was a pretty plausible plan, so my steps were light on the way back.

When I returned to the academy and arrived at the dormitory, the headmaster spoke to me.

“I haven’t seen you in a long time. Where have you been?”

“Yes, I have housework for a while.”

“I see. It’s getting late, so hurry up.”

It’s what I think these days, but I don’t feel much notice that I’m ignoring that I’m a commoner anymore.

Is it because he beat up the two heirs of the 4th duchy? Or is it because he acknowledged his skills?

Well, this is pretty good.

I came into Room 302 and warmed up on a luxurious bed.

“Ha…”

deep sigh.

To be honest, it was hard to sleep. The Screaming Mountains, I thought it was nothing special, but the hallucinations I saw there are still vivid.

The future of the girls who became the villains…

As long as I am, that future will never come.

***

When we went to the princess’s door, the knight knocked on the door as if he had waited.

“Princess, that person has come.”

“Let it in.”

As she entered the door, the corners of her mouth twitched in anticipation, contrary to the eyes that could not clear away the suspicion.

“I kept my promise.”

I put the bottle of mandragora on the desk.

Then, the princess grabbed the bottle and immediately checked the contents.

“Really… The rumors you were sleeping on weren’t lies. By the way, what happened to the curse?”

I thought I would bring that up. Bringing up the story of the Well of Life would be quite troublesome.

I put on a puzzled expression and let go of my pretense.

“Curse? Wasn’t there anything like that?”

“There was no curse? Are the records wrong?”

“The hallucinations and hallucinations I saw in the Screaming Mountain were really unbearable, but there was no particular curse.”

“That is very strange.”

Judging by the frown of the princess, she must be lost in thought.

I brought up the word about the promise with a serious face to the princess.

“Princess, is that why you look after the promised belly?”

“Yes, I will definitely guarantee what I promised. Just…”

The princess lifted her head and whispered.

“It is not easy to obtain the title of nobility. In the past, it would have been enough to buy the status of a fallen aristocratic family, but as the laws of the empire changed, it became more difficult.”

Wouldn’t it be easy even with the power of the duchy?

“How did the law change so that it is difficult even with the power of the duchy?”

“Those who pretend to be nobles, let the three tribes be destroyed. This is the newly added Imperial Constitution. It has become difficult to buy and sell titles. It’s a bill made right after the crown prince was appointed.”

Shiva, prince bastard. Anyway, the male leads in this world have never been of any help to me.

“Is there a way?”

“If you make extraordinary achievements or excel in your performance, you can request it from the imperial family.”

Achievements or achievements⋯.

First of all, you will definitely be able to buy the favor of the Estupina duchy. Instead of a princess, I would become a servant who drank poisoned tea.

The problem is that the performance deserves the title, but what will happen in the future?

I fell into agony thinking about the contents of the original work.

“What are you thinking so hard about?”

“Oh, no. By the way, may I ask you one more favor?”

“What request?”

“Please call me as your servant whenever you have tea time with Her Highness.”

“⋯ Why? For what purpose.”

“Actually, I wanted to watch Her Highness up close. He was someone I respected from before…”

The princess was possessed while drinking tea.

“Kuhm… I never thought you’d have such a taste. I will grant you a favor.”

like that? what taste Shiva, don’t get me wrong.

“Yes. Then we’ll go away.”

With these words, the meeting with the princess ended.

***

“Hound!”

When Mikaris saw me, he hurriedly ran.

“My lady, has it been a while? Anyway, long time no see.”

“Three days without you felt too long…”

what? Was this lady this honest?

“yes?”

“no. Haven’t you eaten yet? Ronia is waiting for you.”

Oh, you kept what I said then. That too in 3 days.

“You seem to have gotten quite close with Lady Ronia, right? Fortunately, the.”

“⋯ Contrary to what I thought, he was a good person. So just…”

Somehow I feel like I’m changing the genre of this novel to parenting.

well, good luck

The main character doesn’t suffer, and the villain doesn’t either. Kill two birds with one stone, right?

When I took Mikaris’ hand and headed to the restaurant, Ronia was waiting for me.

“Lady Ronya, long time no see.”

“Mr. Hound! I missed you!”

“⋯⋯.”

Ah, come to think of it, I forgot that Mikaris was by my side.

Mikaris opened her eyes shallowly and questioned me.

“Ronya? Are you calling me by my nickname now?”

“No, not that…”

The atmosphere that became cheap in an instant. Isn’t Mikaris’ magic attribute not lightning, but freezing?

At that time, Ronia entered the mediation.

“Mikaris! It’s not like that at all. That’s what my family calls it. Is it just a sign of intimacy?”

Do you think it would ignite more?

Mikaris’ eyes, which had been bright until just now, became cold.

I also thought that if I did it wrong, I could get hit with a real knife.

Seeing this, Ronia hurriedly grabbed Mikaris’ hand.

“Can’t Mikaris also call me Ronya? Because it was my dream to find a true friend.”

Mikaris’ expression, which was cold to the point of being cold, turned bright.

“A true friend…?”

“yes. We share secrets with each other, eat delicious food together, and always have tea time together. Such a friend!”

“⋯Yeah, what.”

It was a calm answer, but I could tell by looking at Mikaris’ ears. that she is happy.

‘What a wonderful sight…’ That girl.’

I am so moved that all the tears are about to come out.

At that time, Mikaris urged me by pulling my hand.

“Order quickly. We ordered everything.”

“Ah, yes!”

I feel like a puppy getting food from the owner…

It’s not a bad feeling. My favorite puppy, I wonder if most people will envy you.

That’s what I did…

The veal steak is standard, and this time I ordered fried chicken as an extra.

“I really like veal steak.”

“Because it’s the first food that Lady Mikaris bought for me.”

“⋯⋯.”

Wouldn’t this be enough for me to be the main character of the poem? To be honest, I just liked the comment.

After seeing the menu I ordered, Ronia crossed arms with me and joined the conversation.

“Anyway, Mr. Hound eats a lot. Is it because you are a man?”

“Kuhm… This is difficult.”

“is that so? I’m fine…”

You can feel the touch on your forearm. I’ll leave it up to your imagination what it feels like.

At that time, Mikaris shouted and separated Ronia from me.

“Didn’t I tell you not to play around in front of me?”

So, is it okay to hang out outside the snow?

Heck, this isn’t important.

From noble mtl dot com

I pushed the girls on the back to turn the fire on and headed to my seat.

“Come on, let’s go eat.”

While slicing veal steak, he told the girls about spring water.

“Actually, I prepared presents for Lady Ronya and Lady Mikaris.”

“Call me Mika, too.”

“yes?”

“It’s my nickname I just made up. Call me Mika from now on.”

“⋯Yes, Ms. Mika.”

My heart was pounding. Blinking key and come in.

“Hmm. So what gift did I prepare…”

I put a beautifully wrapped water bottle on the table.

“It is high-grade holy water. It is said that it is good for beauty when applied to the skin, and good for health when drunk.”

“Is there such a thing?”

“Thank you, Mr. Hound!”

Ronia hugged the water bottle to her heart as if she really liked my gift.

“hahahaha, tell me if you need more later. I’ll bring it to you anytime.”

Although the water we have now is limited…

Wouldn’t it be okay if I secretly went to the fairy forest and stole it?

The time when I was enjoying a meal with them while thinking nonsensical thoughts.

A knight under the direct command of the princess approached and whispered to me.

“The princess is calling.”
