Taming Her Highness the Princess

2 – For you, not you

Irea was frozen and unable to speak for a while. It seemed that it was not easy for her to come out of the shock of being slapped.

So I kindly decided to wait. Until Irea comes to her senses and is able to objectively accept her current situation.

“That, oops… ….”

I don’t know if it’s a cry or a moan, but the sound of breathing flows through Irea’s teeth. Taking a deep breath to calm her trembling body, Ireah opened her mouth with difficulty.

“Uh, uh uh, how can I… ….”

It seems that she tried to speak her words as calmly as possible, but her erratic tone clearly showed that Irea was very embarrassed.

Even after she ascended to the position of emperor, she was an Irea who was terribly unable to control her emotions, so if her current reaction was natural, then she was natural.

More than that, the intention of her question also reveals her arrogance of Ireah. She is not asking ‘why’ she hit herself, but asking ‘how’ she can hit herself.

It was an attitude that she did not understand at all that the other person who had stabbed herself, a direct blood relative of His Majesty the Emperor who commanded her empire.

Then she needed to explain in an easy-to-understand way why she was beaten, not “How.” For Irea, who has been rejuvenated, this is like a kind of education.

“Your Highness. Hitting someone means, on the other hand, that you have to be prepared to be hit by that person as well. That is no exception, even if you are His Highness, the son of His Majesty the Emperor.”

“Ha, but I-“

“I told you there are no exceptions.”

I stare at Irea with cold eyes. Thanks to that, Irea just stood still with her mouth open as if she was speechless.

A blue and beautiful iris resembling a clear sea, the tears forming on the cornea can’t overcome the force of gravity and flow downward.

It is clear that he was terrified. However, I had no intention of lightening Irea’s feelings or retracting what I had just said.

“Your Highness!”

In the meantime, a mysterious woman in a black uniform approached at a brisk pace from the other side of the hallway. She has short white hair and exceptionally long eyelashes.

Seeing that she is wearing her sword around her waist, it is Irea’s escort knight, Ruinell. Except for the imperial family, only the Royal Guard and escort knights could carry swords in the imperial palace.

Ruinel Venecilla.

She is a northern girl and is 18 years old, the same age as Irea. She knows that when monsters attacked from the other world, she risked her life to protect Ireah and died in battle.

I don’t personally hate her, but her pride is strong, she’s inflexible, and she’s a tight-fisted woman. Especially in a situation like now.

“Do you know how worried I was when you suddenly disappeared!? Next time, you should give me a word in advance…….”

As Irea turns her body backwards, her Ruinell’s feet stop. It must have been embarrassing to see her Irea touching her cheek with her crying face.

“Ruine El… ….”

Her cheeks, which are thinner and softer than the rest of her skin, were flushed red before she knew it. If she wasn’t an idiot, she would know that Ireah was slapped right now.

Ruinel wasn’t her fool, so she caught on to that quickly and narrowed her eyes sharply. A cold stare touches my face.

“Are you Professor Jeniel, who will be appointed as the educator of Her Highness Ireah?”

What is my intention to ask while knowing? I calmly nodded her head. As if he didn’t like it, Ruinel bit his teeth.

“I heard that you were evaluated as a benevolent and calm person among the undergraduate students when you were working at the Imperial Imperial University, but rumors are just rumors. I never expected that he would be so shameless as to slap His Highness on the first meeting.”

This is absurd. Is this woman not interested in my cheeks? Even if she wasn’t as hot as Ireah, she would have warmed up my cheeks to some extent. She

Tried to explain that she was beaten because she was hit first, but she stopped feeling miserable. In the first place, Luinel probably wouldn’t know that either.

As an escort knight, she only puts Ireah’s safety first. I didn’t want to get involved in her knight’s attitude, so I answered calmly.

“It was the first time I knew that Her Highness’ escort knight was so lax. Where were you and what were you doing while Your Highness slapped me on the cheek?”

“That… ….”

“Only like this, I can’t tell whether you are escorting Her Highness Irea or the floating air in the imperial palace. Let her look at how bad she is before she blames others.”

A grid of tendons sprouts from Ruinel’s forehead. Behind her back, an aura of rage seemed to rise markedly.

“What did you just say?”

Ruinel put her hand on the sword at her waist. It was the greatest threat a knight could pose in the court. Even so, he couldn’t plant the slightest agitation in me.

“That’s funny. If you take out that sword and point it at me, will you be able to handle it?”

“What are you so proud of…… ! In addition to insulting me, you also slapped Her Majesty Irea on the cheek!”

“So? Just because of that reason, did she point her sword at me, the successor to the Malaig dukedom? Even though Her Highness Irea, who was slapped on the cheek, doesn’t say a word.”

Ruinel glanced back at Irea. As I said, Irea was still in shock and was just crying.

I’m sorry, but I can’t dispute my opinion here. There was a world of difference between taking out the sword at the princess’s command and pulling it out voluntarily.

Moreover, when you calm down your emotions, this isn’t something to be raised too much. Organizing his thoughts, Ruinel let go of his drool and removed his hand from his sword.

“…… When Her Highness Irea comes to her senses, we will discuss this matter again.”

“Even if I said that, nothing would change. Then.”

I looked down at Irea.

Irea was startled when her eyes met and she naturally lowered her gaze.

It looks like a small dog that is actively rampaging at home, lowering its tail in front of a large dog.

I thought that this was enough to overcome the preemptive pressure for future education, so I took my eyes off it.

“Let’s end today’s lesson with this. Think of it as a punishment for raising your hand to your master.”

After I finished speaking, I passed Irea and walked down the hallway. As the distance increased, I felt a tingling stare behind my back, but I had to accept it.

I was a little afraid of the aftermath of the aftermath of having ended the class on my own, not enough for slapping the princess, but…… It’s not that there’s no way to overcome it, and if it’s to prevent tragedies that will happen in the future, I could have endured having my image dirty.

‘There… ….’

Right now, I had to deal with much more important things than Irea’s class.

“The eldest son of the Duke of Malaig has been chosen as the new teacher for the princess.”

Baldure, one of Ireah’s dedicated medical personnel, stroked her chin as she walked to the medical staff-only quarters prepared in the imperial palace.

Baldure’s expression as he stroked his rough beard was not very good. The fact that a master of magic and a great family called the aurora of the empire was standing behind the princess was very uncomfortable.

‘If the Mallaig family were to investigate me behind my back… ….’

It would be exposed that she was feeding the princess with the disrespectful medicine she received from some group. If that happens, it is certain that she will not be able to avoid her death and that the three generations will perish.

However, it won’t change anything if the Malaig family stands behind them, even though they haven’t been caught yet. There is no way to investigate a single medical practitioner behind the scenes.

In addition, the drug itself was not very toxic. As a result of my own analysis, when I took it, it temporarily brought fatigue to my body, but after that, there was nothing special.

They couldn’t understand why they gave this kind of medicine to the princess periodically, but Baldure, who coveted the huge amount of money they gave along with the medicine, couldn’t refuse their offer.

‘With a few more months of hard work, I can buy a mansion in Jedo Island.’

It was only necessary to give the princess medicine until she bought the mansion. First of all, they are tricked into feeding them as health supplements, so there is no need to worry about getting caught.

If you want to make big money on your own, you have to take risks. Rationalizing himself, Baldure arrived at the inn and opened the door.

Baldure, who naturally took off his hat and unbuttoned his shirt, stopped involuntarily. Because there was someone who shouldn’t be in his room.

Sarak─

A black-haired handsome man was sitting on a chair in front of his table, reading a book calmly. Distinct features and sharp eyes make the viewer die of his spirit.

Moreover, a dark shadow was cast on the man’s face, probably because he had his back to the window. Like a boss in a mafia movie, the existence itself comes as a sense of intimidation.

‘But why… ….’

Why on earth is Jeniel Malaig, the eldest son of the Malaig family, reading a book in his lodgings? In an incomprehensible situation, Baldure had no choice but to break out in a cold sweat.

‘…… Could it be that they were caught?’

Did he come here knowing that he was giving the princess a strange medicine? It was absurd, but in the current situation, there was nothing else I could reason about.

Then it would be right to get out of here. Fortunately, I’m preoccupied with reading, so if I go out now…….

Boom!

The door slammed shut as if it had read my thoughts. It was Jeniel’s mind. As Baldure’s shoulders were shaking at the thought of ruin, Jenial opened her lips.

“Sit in front of me. There are a few things I want to ask you.”

I couldn’t help but refuse. Swallowing his saliva and nodding his head, Baldure walked over to the table and took out his chair and sat down.

At that moment, the legs of the chairs broke all at once. Courage! Baldure, who lost his balance in an instant, fell and hit his head on the floor.

“Keuk…… !”

Baldure moaned in pain and held his head, but Jeniel calmly turned the last page of the book.

“I don’t think I ever asked you to sit in a chair.”

Jeniel spat out the words insensitively, covered the book he was reading, and put it on the table. The series of processes came as a great fear to Baldure.

Caught! Any way this happened! But how? Not only did he launder the money he received, but he always used the unoccupied dawn zone when contacting them.

How does Jeniel know the secret of this side when he can’t be found out even if he wants to? Baldure made an expression of incomprehension, but Jeniel only smiled lowly.

“You are as disgusting as ever.”

While adding an unknown word.
