Chapter 265: 1st Princess Charlia (2)

“Princess, calm down…”

“I told you to get my sword as quickly as possible!”

“P-Princess!”

“Right now! Can’t you hear me? Is there anybody capable enough of doing this?”

The angered Princess could not even properly control her body.

She was definitely drunk. If someone knew what the First Princess Charlia was like, they had caused this incident at the very best time.

There were various circumstances to simply dismiss this as a minor happening.

Right now, the First Princess, Charlia, may look like a psychopath, but this was not a causeless effect.

‘This was all properly planned.’

It was also done when Charlia was out of her senses, so the person who caused this must have been rejoicing within.

I didn’t know if the culprit was really Charlotte or a noble under her control, but the situation had become so chaotic that it was no longer possible to fix it just as the one who caused this wanted.

Charlia staggered and bumped into tables all over the place. The food and the bottles on the table began to fall on the floor with a rumbling sound.

The weak-hearted ladies had begun to scream while avoiding the broken glass, while the noblemen couldn’t figure out how to react.

In the meantime, Charlia, who couldn’t figure out the situation, was yelling to bring her sword, and the maid standing in the position of the perfect victim was showing off a performance in a similar level to our guild’s Ahn Ki-mo.

‘It’s a mess… It’s a real mess.’

The most prestigious banquet in the Empire quickly turned into space where the city officers drank cheap rum.

It was also not unreasonable for the atmosphere to suddenly become awkward.

In the midst of this, the Emperor, the father of this crazy woman, turned his head and clucked his tongue, almost as if he didn’t want to see this anymore.

I could understand why the First Princess had become like this. This just reminded me of how much I had neglected Tol To-ri in the past.

Of course, the drunken woman was still screaming her head off.

“How dare… you bitches look down on me?! Are you bitches looking down on me, too?”

“I-It’s not that, Princess.”

“If not, why don’t you move even after hearing my command…? Ugh…”

“P-Princess.”

“Let go of me. Didn’t I tell you to let go of me right now?!”

“You seem a little drunk…”

“I’m not drunk.”

“P-Please, just calm down.”

Baron Naboth was now cringing, almost as if he found all this terrible.

Of course, I had begun to speak at this point. Since there was little information about the First Princess, I wanted to hear more about her in detail.

“Baron Naboth, she…”

“Yes. This is… Charlia the First Princess of the Empire.”

Seeing that he went silent after that, it seemed that he was not bold enough to openly gossip about the Princess.

However, just by looking at his distorted face, I could predict how bad she was.

Today couldn’t just be the first time. There must have been various incidents that had taken place in the past.

I could be sure that she would have had caused troubles alone, even if Charlotte or the nobles under her did not step forward. I thought about sorting out the situation, but I was not the main character who would end this event.

As expected, shortly afterward, female knights appeared from one side, and Charlotte quietly opened her mouth to the knights while calming the people at the party.

Only one word from her was enough to clear up the chaotic hall.

“She looks very tired. Take care of the First Princess.”

“Yes.”

“Princess, we’ll take you to the bedroom.”

“Let go of me! I told you to let me go!”

Despite the guardian coming, she still continued to struggle. It was embarrassing to call such a being a Princess.

I bet, if it were an ordinary noble doing that, they would have been overpowered and rolling on the ground.

It was not easy to deal with her even from the knights’ standpoint as she kept struggling and shaking off their hands.

It seemed that Charlotte was trying to handle it carefully, trying not to hurt Charlia, but in some ways, she seemed to be taking as much time as possible.

‘Does she want to show this scene a little more…?’

If I were Charlotte, I would have delayed the time as much as possible. That way, the crowd here would know just how trashy the First Princess was.

They were not expressing it, but what these people were thinking was very much obvious.

‘Is that a Princess…’

‘The future of the Empire is dark…’

It was then that the situation surrounding the First Princess changed.

“Uhhhhhhh!”

“Aaahh!”

The Princess’s body, who staggered and tried to shake off the hands of the knights, suddenly tilted. Embarrassingly, she fell towards our side.

The disloyal Baron Naboth sneakily left with a grotesque scream, but I couldn’t find it in me to escape.

‘Should I take this, or not…’

thoughts passed by.

I was worried about whether it was right to intervene here or not.

It was obvious that there was nothing good about being associated with the First Princess, who was already falling into hell. It meant that taking a step back and watching was a more beautiful picture.

‘I think that…’

It was only right to accept it.

Many eyes were watching. Many nobles, and their daughters and wives, were focused on the scene, so it would not be bad to save her from becoming a frog.

It was better to show that I had manners rather than not showing any help.

Since anything could happen, physical contact was out of the question.

As I quickly flicked my fingers, a dragon’s palm popped out of the ground with a crackling sound to catch her.

“Let go of me!”

It was ugly and heartbreaking to see her scream as if she thought that the knight had gotten her.

While the nobles were looking at her and me with their eyes wide open, the struggling Charlia leaned on the dragon’s hand and began to calm down after a long time.

She was all out of stamina.

‘Did she fall asleep?’

As I slowly went to her, I saw her face with her head, furtively raised.

Since she was looking up at me, it looked like she hadn’t fallen asleep yet.

“You…”

“Are you okay? Your Majesty…”

“It’s quite good. What’s your name?”

“What are you talking about…?”

“You’re quite good-looking.”

A laugh came out of me because I found it all so ridiculous.

‘You’re crawling into the ground.’

She was talking as if she was conversing with a male prostitute.

“You seem to be drunk, Your Majesty. Please sleep. Rest assured that I will take care of you.”

“Okay. Okay… I’ll try. If I am satisfied, I will give you a thick… gold coin…”

As she nodded and started to doze off, it seemed that her physical strength was already at the limit. There was no choice for me but to smile for now.

This was because the Emperor had already begun to look at me in an apologetic manner.

Even seeing him coming to speak to me directly, it seemed to me that he was embarrassed to have shown this type of scenario.

“Ahem… I made you see what shouldn’t be seen.”

“Don’t worry, Your Majesty. Anyone can make mistakes.”

“Tsk tsk… I can’t even face anyone. Honorary Bishop Lee Kiyoung… I will definitely repay you for today.”

“I wasn’t hoping for anything. Haha.”

“Ahem… No.”

“Rather, it is an honor to be able to help, Your Majesty.”

The Second Princess, who was suspected to be the culprit, also seemed to have thought that this was not a bad finish. She was already busy organizing and controlling the hall.

In the end, there was only one loser in this commotion.

Charlia was the only victim here, being dragged and leaning onto the knights.

If she was sane, she’d remember the mistakes she made today as soon as she would wake up tomorrow.

‘She’ll want to run away in embarrassment.’

Princess Charlia had just successfully showed all the delegates here how hopeless the future of the Empire would be if it were in her hands.

Of course, it was obvious from the beginning, but in this case, I could confidently say that the victim was a fool.

Rather, if she had generously forgiven the maid, she could have given a different impression than usual.

Her first mistake was to drink wine without thinking, and the second was that she let it intoxicate her.

‘She can’t be the Empress.’

Now, the delegates’ opinion of Charlotte would rise.

This was natural, was it not? One was incompetent and a wicked woman, and the other was meticulous and had a wise king’s qualities.

‘There’s an obvious victor even if they haven’t proclaimed it yet.’

For the future of the Empire, it was obvious as to who would be selected as the successor.

This stupid Emperor, who continued to talk next to me, seemed to have already appointed the second Princess, Charlotte, as his successor.

“But I’m glad Charlotte is good with this.”

“Hahaha. She must be very reliable.”

“Yes… She is. My only concern is the stupid thing you saw earlier. I shouldn’t have brought her today. Tsk…”

“Everyone has their own dark times.”

“Right… Honorary Bishop Lee Kiyoung is right. Thank you for saying so. Yes… I should think so…”

It was obvious that, although he was speaking ill of Charlia as if he was disappointed, it did not mean that he wanted me to do the same.

Even though she had fallen out of favor with the Emperor, she was still his child and blood.

I thought the words he wanted to hear would be words to relieve his worries, and I was right.

‘Still, he must like the Second Princess more.’

At this point, the Second Princess had begun to approach us.

She was approaching the way a triumphal general who had already cleared up everything and won the war would. She already sent back the maid, who spilled the wine, and the floor was neatly clean. She cleared it out perfectly as if there had been no commotion from the beginning.

Realizing that she was a competent human being, my heart began to flutter without my knowledge.

‘Long live, Her Majesty Charlotte!’

Although it was not yet final, I was already ready to serve her to the best of my ability.

It would take a while as we didn’t get off to a good start, but my efforts would prove to be satisfying in the end.

When I was about to speak, her gaze fell on me in the same way as one might appraise a cockroach.

“You worked hard…”

“Your Majesty, it is very late. I think it would be better for me to get going.”

“Right. Honorary Bishop Lee Kiyoung is…”

“I will express my gratitude instead. I am worried about your health…”

“So, I’ll be doing that.”

Seeing her turning her back on me, completely ignoring my existence, made my teeth clench.

‘This rotten bitch…’
