chapter 9
9 – The reason why the princess hates lowly blood
‘As expected, things are going well…’
At first, the first princess, Lesia, hesitated whether it was okay to listen to Bill and release the seal of the demon king.
However, her worries were completely gone.
No, it wasn’t an exaggeration to say that I was looking forward to it now.
[Her Highness the Princess, the hero Bill has recruited Drek, the Master of the Mage Tower.]
Report received prior to commencement of duties.
When I heard the news that Bill had recruited Drek, the Master of the Magic Tower, I smiled for some reason.
‘As expected from a noble aristocracy…’
His ability to handle work is incomparable to that of the previous hero Rag.
I thought that he was also good at selecting him as a hero who works hard with a sense of responsibility more than anyone else.
Hero Rag went alone for three years, but Hero Bill recruited a colleague in less than a week.
That’s a very good colleague.
I couldn’t help but feel very good about this fact.
After all, it all started with you.
It’s also because you made a good choice.
“hehehehe…♬”
In many ways, she was a princess who happily carried on with her duties.
With excitement, I went through the paperwork one by one.
“Princess. Are you there?”
“Yes. Come in.”
But in the meantime, a servant came to visit her.
A servant who nodded to the princess and had a slightly disconcerted expression.
“What’s going on?”
“That’s… His Majesty the Emperor wants to meet the princess.”
The princess asked the servant what was going on, and the words she heard from the servant were quite unexpected.
The news that the emperor who is currently recovering from weakness and her father called him…
The news was enough to cause some concern.
‘what…? Why are you calling me?’
The emperor had already handed over all real power to the princess, in fact, she was in the status of a princess, but she had already entrusted all state affairs to her, and she was actually the emperor.
He had even said that he would no longer be involved in state affairs.
However, the fact that such an emperor called him had no choice but to worry.

Maybe it’s because you don’t like something?
I couldn’t help but worry about that.
However, when I thought about it, there was no reason to worry about that.
‘No… Maybe you’ll compliment me? Maybe that’s why he called me?’
But those worries are gone.
Because no matter how much I think about it, I have never done anything to get caught.
Rather, if you praised it, you would have praised it, but it is obvious that you will not be blamed.
Bill’s warriors and the others go to kill the demon king who is now sealed.
Because this was going very smoothly.
“Please tell me you’re leaving right now.”
“Yes. Princess.”
So, I smiled and felt relieved, and soon set off for the emperor.
The thought of being praised by his father, whom he hadn’t seen in a long time, made his heart happy.
“Father, did you call?”
The emperor’s room that he visited after a long time following his servant.
The emperor, who was lying on the bed and had a slightly emaciated face, looked out the window and then looked at the princess.
The princess welcomed the emperor and was full of thoughts of receiving praise, but…
“Lesia… what the hell are you doing right now?”
Unfortunately, her expectations were completely wrong.
Seeing Lesia, the emperor seemed to be very angry and furious.
“Father… what… do you mean…?”
Seeing the emperor’s reaction, Lesia was taken aback.
Why is the emperor suddenly doing this to himself?
No matter how you think about it, you didn’t do anything wrong…
Rather, I came here to hear compliments…
As I thought about that, I looked at the emperor as if it was unfair…
With eyes as if he wanted to know what the hell he had done wrong.
“You still don’t know your own fault…”
And seeing the princess like that, the emperor became even more angry.
With a very frustrated expression.
“I heard that you appointed Bill as a champion. And I heard that you gave him a lot of political support… I also heard that you gave him some leadership of the Knights.”
Soon the emperor explained the reason for his anger.
Recently, after appointing Bill as a hero…
The emperor had recently heard of the princess’ actions that greatly supported Bill.
“Then, what if Knight Commander Bill rebelled?”
It was a truly absurd move from the emperor’s point of view.
A situation that gave so much to just one person…
Does this situation make sense?
In addition, if the position of a warrior is to defeat the demon king, it will become unbearably political.
Would the princess be able to handle that?
Of course it never was.
Because of this, the emperor had no choice but to strongly criticize the princess for this.
If he puts his political stance on his back and even plans to usurp the emperor…
The princess was in a situation where she had to stand still.
The actions of a princess who had not foreseen such a situation at all made it natural for the emperor to criticize it.
“Bill is not that kind of person. He is the one who works for the citizens of the Empire more than anyone else.”
She was a princess who had something to refute the emperor’s words, of course.
What Bill showed her was exactly what she wanted.
He had more responsibility than anyone else, and his pride as a hero was quite high.
The ideal type she wants as a warrior, Bill is probably the most qualified person as a warrior.
“It means noble blood, not lowly blood.”
At the very least, he would be much better than the warrior named Rag, chosen by the emperor.
Because it’s not low blood. Because it was the blood of noble aristocrats.
You may not be able to fully trust Hero Bill, but since he is of noble blood, you will be able to trust him even more.
“Whoa…”
Hearing the princess’ answer, the emperor…
He put a hand on his forehead and sighed deeply.
“Lesia, it’s good that you’re proud of being a member of the imperial family, but unfortunately there’s no such thing as noble blood…”
And he denied the lowly and noble blood that Lecia was talking about.
The emperor said that there was no point in insisting on such a thing.
“Do you know how the first emperor of the empire was born in the first place?”
He told the history of the establishment of the present empire.
History of the distant past, now almost erased history…
“Our imperial family’s ancestors rebelled and established an empire. With that low-blooded act that you hate.”
The ugly history of the past, in which there is absolutely nothing good to be revealed.
The expression of the emperor, who spoke of such history with his own mouth, was ashamed.
However, it was the emperor’s expression that contained much more anger towards the princess.
“…”
After hearing the emperor’s words, the princess was silent for a while.
Was it because she didn’t know the history? It wasn’t like that.
As a member of the imperial family, she naturally knew at least the history of the empire.
“What does that matter…? Still… I’m not wrong.”
But even so, she couldn’t admit it.
Because he is doing his best.
Whatever the past, what she did was what she thought was noble blood.
“I did my best. For this empire. For the emperor…”
So, no doubt the results will be good.
Because the right actions will always produce the right results.
“More than my father, who made such a lowly blood into a hero in the first place…!”
At least, rather than the result of such an insignificant hero who barely managed to seal the demon king.
The hero named Rag was a failure no matter what anyone said.
Because it was bloody blood…!
“…”
After hearing the princess’ answer, the emperor…
He was silent for a moment, then looked away from the princess’s face.
“I have nothing more to say. Go.”
And it was the emperor who looked at the window again without a word.
“Let’s go.”
After bowing to the emperor, the princess withdrew.
“Are you doing well?”
And as she was leaving, there was a person outside the door laughing at the princess with her arms crossed.
A girl with almost the same appearance as Princess Lesia, but with bobbed hair and a slightly smaller body than the princess…
The two were acquainted. Her name was the second princess, Anastasia… Lesia’s half-sister.
“Now I’m just going to fight against my father.”
Anastasia spoke to Lesia as if sarcastic or teasing about what had happened inside.
As if you heard everything that happened inside…
“It’s noisy. I have nothing to talk about with you.”
However, Princess Lesia did not pay much attention to her.
Without even looking back, he went straight to his office.
“Fu… Who is the really lowly blood…”
“…”
Anastasia is sarcastic to Lesia once again.
At those words, Lesia had no choice but to stop for a moment.
“If I talk more than that… I’m afraid I’ll die…”
Because I couldn’t ignore it…
The secret of Lesia’s birth, born between an emperor and a concubine.
This was her seizure button that should never be touched…
It was the reason she hated lowly blood so much.
To the point where even my little sister wouldn’t let go if I touched her one more time…
“Yes, yes…”
Anastasia took a step back from Lesia’s passion.
As if he had lost, he agreed to her words even if he was half-hearted.
Soon, Lesia completely left the place.
“Hung… I’m lucky enough to take the position of the heir.”
When Lesia left, the second princess clicked her tongue as if she didn’t like the current situation.
“Let’s see… I haven’t given up the throne yet.”
And soon Anastasia also left.
In order to prepare for…
