Chapter 230 – The Princess (3)

After returning from her speech her, the princess stumbled and lost her balance and collapsed, as if her tension had been relieved.

Do-jin, who was watching her from afar, ran to her and supported her. Do-jin, who saw her trembling princess body her, called her with a worried voice.

“It’s okay?”
“Do… No, knight. Thank you And, it’s okay.”

On the subject of saying it’s okay, the princess did n’t think of getting out of her her Dojin’s arms. Do-jin, who had been hugging her for a while, confirmed that her trembling had stopped and slowly let her go.

The princess took a deep breath and gulped down the water her nanny brought to her. Taking a short break and drinking water, she regained her energy and vigorously shook her arms.

“Knight! I succeeded!”
“Yeah, I saw it too.”
“People cheered, too!”
“I heard it too.”
“The kingdom, the kingdom is not yet gone.”

Although the name was changed to Republic, it was a one-sided choice of nobles with vested interests.

In the hearts of people who didn’t even know what a republic was, the kingdom was still alive.

The princess only slightly helped him get it out.

“Really, really- I was able to get the kingdom back.”

As if in disbelief, the princess even had tears in her eyes. Wiping away her tears, the princess stepped behind her, grabbed the hem of her dress her, and adopted her her royal manners.

“I will never forget you, Elena Pradio, for helping me this time.”
“It was nothing.”

As the two exchanged greetings, Murdoch, watching from a distance, felt his mouth his itch.

Did the princess really know what Do-jin did and act that way?

Murdoch’s mouth went up as he obtained good bargaining materials.

Soon after, the princess and her party headed to Duke Schwarz’s house.

* * *

The Duke frowned when he saw the group of Dojin who came to visit again, but he did not drive them out.

The Duke, who sighed and gave them the same room as yesterday, served them meals as if he didn’t want to see their faces.

To Do-jin, there was no big complaint because it was just free room service.

“It’s normal for a duke.”
“Shall I go and make it? Master?”
“No it’s okay. You should try eating at a place like this.”

Do-jin, who finished the meal complaining about the taste of the food, continued talking with the princess who was waiting for him after finishing the meal as well.

The two immediately declared the kingdom as a republic, and then discussed various problems that would arise when the kingdom became a kingdom again.

“The kingdom became a republic because the nobles first prayed to God. He said he would change the monarchy to a republic because the king’s tyranny was too severe.”

“If you change it to a kingdom with your own opinion, you might incur the wrath of the gods?”

“It’s not just that I don’t know, it’s probably for sure.”

“Okay, I’ll just write a letter.”

The republic was created with God’s permission, and rewriting it at will would incur God’s wrath.

Seeing the princess say that, Dojin sent a letter to Seongguk. Write a letter asking for help with detailed circumstances.

“Even if you solve that problem, the problem starts with making friends with Ajin within a year. Even the Dwarves, who are known to be closest to humans, allowed a few merchants to enter their kingdom….”

“Because I told you about that before I came here- I think it’s probably about time the letter arrives.”

“… You’ve been writing letters since before, but who are you writing letters to?”

The princess, who had been listening to Dojin’s words, asked such a question. Dara, who sent her letter to her, could Do-jin be a hero, godfather, or an honored guest?

The same goes for the letter she sends to the Holy Land. Receiving permission from God is only possible for high-ranking priests higher than bishops.

With the subject of breaking what had already been granted, getting permission once again was difficult even for a person at the level of an archbishop.

Probably, it would be impossible to solve the problem unless it was a pope or a saint.

Upon receiving the princess’s question, Do-jin recited in a joking tone.

“To the saintess, the Thirteen Hammers, the chieftain, and the queen.”

“Aha, I see.”

All four were people who could solve the problems facing the princess now. And, of course, the princess did not think that Do-jin had a relationship with all of them.

Aren’t all the people Do-jin mentioned people who are treated as important people who are difficult to meet once? Is there anyone who is close to all of them?

Even if there was such a person, there was no reason to be an adventurer in the dungeon territory.

“Then let’s assume that we’ll solve that problem later.”
“You don’t believe me?”
“… Believe.”

I couldn’t believe it.
But she didn’t have to say it.
The princess laughed and she thought of a way to solve them somehow.

It’s obvious, but I couldn’t think of the right way.
Time passed without resolving any issues.

Before long, the coronation came.

* * *

“So, if I introduce you to the elders….”
“You’re persistent, the old man really is.”
“Originally, at this age, the only thing left is thick skin. Why? Even kill it? I will live as long as I can Even if you die… There is a lot of money, but wouldn’t you like to risk your life to gamble?”

Do-jin was plagued by the court wizard Murdok, who kept coming to her mansion. At first, when I was asked to introduce Raize, who is several dozen years older, I looked at him like a crazy pedophile, but… In reality, he was more of a magic lover than he was.

She had risked her life for magic, but she had reached a section blocked by a wall without making any proper progress. In a state of not knowing what to do, a genius wizard who could be called a future great wizard appeared.

From Murdoch’s point of view, it was a situation where he had to put down his pride his and everything and cling to Rise by the crotch of his pants.

“Uh!? Didn’t you help me hide your identity too!”
“I know that… Raize doesn’t like meeting you very much.”
“If you’re close enough to call names like that, can’t you do me a favor at least once!”

Watching the old man continue to cling to him, Dojin pushed him away as if annoyed. It seemed that he would leave without saying anything if he clung to him like this, so Murdoch stepped back and yielded.

“Then! Then at least tell me how you broke the barrier!”
“Gift.”
“A gift? Right! What ability is it? What kind of ability did you have to break through the barrier so easily!?”
“… I’ll show you just once, inspiration. Spread the barrier.”

After that persistent persuasion, Do-jin eventually demonstrated his ability to her to Murdoch. Murdoch was delighted and raised his staff her, creating a barrier of the highest strength that he could use alone.

Entering the barrier, Murdoch laughed and boasted that it was a barrier that could block even the weapons of the dwarves.

“No matter how you are, it is impossible to pierce in one go.”

The reign of the Heavenly Demon.

“Impossible, but I will….”

Awesome-.

Looking at the barrier that collapsed with just a single stroke of the palm, Murdoch looked at Dojin as if he could not understand.

“No, how….”

“Didn’t you say you only showed it once?”

“Ha, just once. How can it not be just one more time?”

“Isn’t the wizard keeping his promise?”

“Turn it off-.”

As if he couldn’t have disobeyed the words he had spoken, Murdoch groaned and started stamping his feet.

Do-jin, who did not want to see the old man worry so much, sighed and said he would give him one more chance.

“I will do it one more time after the coronation. Don’t be so mean.”
“Really!?”
“Okay.”

Leaving the excited Murdock alone, Do-jin went to visit her princess when the coronation ceremony was in full swing. The princess, who had already been adorned by dozens of ladies-in-waiting, greeted him with her beautiful face.

“Are you here?”
“My lady, if you move, your makeup will be distorted.”
“… I know.”

However, the princess couldn’t do anything except roll her eyes her. Looking at the princess being decorated, Dojin asked if all other preparations were finished.

“Are the preparations for the coronation finished?”
“Yes. The priest was also called, the nobles to participate were selected, and most of the preparations were completed.”

The princess smiled as she said that, but she felt like she was burning inside.

What if God gets angry and punishes me? What if the priest refuses to acknowledge her throne her?

The contract extended her life by one more year, but it was more like saying she only had one year left, not an extra year.

If she does n’t work out her homework, her contract her bound to her. She was still a death row inmate with a blade around her neck.

“Don’t worry so much.”
“… Yes?”
“Maybe he will come today.”
“You’re coming today… ?”

The princess tilted her head, as if not understanding her reason her, but Do-jin smiled silently.

After leaving those words, Do-jin, who came out to the coronation hall, looked around at the nobles and people who were already seated.

Until today, they had only followed the princess after reading the contract.
He wondered what kind of eyes he would follow the princess from tomorrow.

“The owner of the kingdom, Her Majesty Queen Elena Pradio, enters!”

With the loud voice of the gatekeeper- the nobles rose from their seats and greeted Elena.

Elena stretched out her fancy dress and headed straight to the front where her priest was standing. Kneeling lightly in front of her priest, she prayed for the priest to make a good decision.

Unfortunately for her, the priest didn’t judge her that way.

“Since ancient times, the giving of the crown has been the will of God, and humans are not permitted to take off and wear the crown on their own.”

Ridicule flows from among the nobles. It was a sneer at the princess, saying she knew this would happen.

However, Elena silently waited for her priest’s words as if she couldn’t hear those laughter.

“The crown once taken off cannot be worn again by Jess. It is only that the gods should allow it, and trying to wear the crown that you took off without permission again is an act of contempt for the gods—”
“〈stop〉”

At that time, the door to the ceremony hall opened and a woman appeared wrapped tightly around her body. It was the most distinctive outfit in this world, so everyone in the room lowered their heads and looked away.

Trudging-.

Approaching her priestess, she ordered the paladin who had followed her to put her priest away and stand in front of her queen.

“〈Today, God has allowed you to hear my voice〉”

The princess, not knowing that the saintess would really appear, looked up at her with her trembling eyes.

It is hard to believe that the saintess is of this world, and she blessed her queen with her beautiful appearance shining.

“〈 Elena Pradio, First Queen of the First Realm〉”
“Yes, yes.”
“〈 The Almighty congratulate you〉”

It was a congratulation and permission from God, completely different from what the previous priest had said. However, there was no one present who could doubt that.

Isn’t it none other than the words of the saintess, the closest thing to God in this world, the being loved by God.

“〈 However, the tax to be paid to the church for the next year will increase by 10%.〉”
“Glory comes.”

The princess donned her crown her under her saintly blessing and congratulations her.
It was the birth of a queen that no one could doubt.
