Chapter 297 – The Desert Princess and the Sword Master #4

According to Rebecca, Pamela is 167 years old.
Far from looking like a curly old woman, she was only a bone-to-bone age, but she was a woman who looked very young on the outside of Pamela.
She’s young enough to be treated like her older sister if you put her right next to Rebecca.

It is said that warriors with a high level can keep their appearance young with a special management method.
It makes sense that although she looks young on the outside, she’s old on the inside.
It seemed that the sword master spilled more soup than me, Rebecca, and Kate.

“Yes. I am Count Harold, lord of Yoensu. I am ruling the land where the diplomatic talks will take place. The Jakarta sword master you have only heard about. It is an honor to meet you.”

Count Harold hurriedly approached Pamela and shook her hand.
The Count’s attitude was cautious, probably because he had watched the inaction that had just cut the drakes in one blow.

Rattle rattle.

The Count’s hand shaking hands trembled and vibrated!

‘You’re shaking.’

Anyone holding hands with a walking nuclear weapon would tremble.
Receiving her handshake with her sullen expression, Pamela immediately called her princess by name.

“Princess Selma. Earl Harold from the Northern Kingdom has arrived. Let’s say hello.”
“I’m leaving now.”

Princess Selma was riding in a luxurious carriage driven by her soldiers.
The decorations were gorgeous and the horses were of a good breed, so it was suitable for royalty to ride.
Soon the carriage door opened and Princess Selma appeared outside of her.

“Wow.”
“What a beautiful woman.”

I could hear the soldiers whispering.
The beauty of the princess was outstanding enough to catch her gaze at once.

She was a woman with shiny black hair and tanned skin full of health. She has neat eyes and distinct features. Should I say that she resembles a Latino beauty I saw in a pictorial on Earth? Besides she is voluptuous with her figure, she seems to be very much liked by men of a certain taste.

Besides, she stood out above all else.

‘High exposure! Did I say that was the traditional attire of the Kingdom of Jakarta?’

Princess Selma, like Rebecca when she first met her, was wearing a dress that left her navel exposed. It is a dress that coolly exposes her shoulders and armpits and wears a chirping decoration. Even if she is not a princess, but a sensual belly dancer, she seems to be believed.

‘You’re crazy!’

Are those thin clothes really traditional clothes?
Are all the women of the Desert Kingdom walking around naked like that?
I can’t wait to travel to Jakarta right away!

“…Luke, where are you looking?”
“Princess Selma.”
“Hey, your eyes are sinister. Turn your gaze away from the princess.”

Rebecca stretched out her hand and turned her head 90 degrees.
Thanks to that, I was able to take my eyes off Princess Selma.
Count Harold’s soldiers continued to stare as if possessed.

“It’s wonderful to expose your belly button…!”
“What a wonderful outfit! I suddenly want to marry a woman from Jakarta.”

They also made evaluations while working hand in hand with each other.
While we and the soldiers were chatting, the conversation between Princess Selma and Count Harold proceeded steadily.

“Princess Selma. You’ve worked hard to come this far. From now on, I’ll be in charge of the directions.”
“I’m begging you. It’s a pleasure to welcome you to Northern.”

From now on, it seems that Earl Harold will be in charge of guiding them until they return to Joensuu.
It was time to leave for Yoensuu with the delegation after the role division was over.
Suddenly, Princess Selma’s gaze, which was looking over the soldiers, reached Rebecca.

“What…?”

It was then.
The expression of Princess Selma, who had been acting so lofty, changed to embarrassment.
Princess Selma, who met Rebecca’s eyes, staggered as if she was surprised.
Fortunately, Pamela, who was around her, held her up so she didn’t fall.

“What are you doing? Princess Selma.”
“Uh-that’s… Are your eyes weird from being tired? It looks like Rebecca is standing among the soldiers right now. My missing childhood friend is over there.”
“I can see it very well. I see my one and only disciple who has fled to a foreign country. He must have developed a bad habit while he was away from his hometown. Even when the teacher appeared, he didn’t say a word?”

The eyes of Princess Selma and Pamela flew simultaneously toward Rebecca. Didn’t the delegation know that Count Harold had hired Rebecca? They were surprised to see Rebecca appear. Princess Selma reacted in astonishment as if she had seen a ghost at all.

“Rebecca sister! What should I do? You’re attracted to us so much? Hurry up and say something to the princess with her belly button over there.”
“I-I know… I was nervous and my body froze for a moment.”

Rebecca, who had been stopped, was pushed on her back by Kate, forcing her to move forward.
For a moment there was silence between the delegation and the count’s escort.
Count Harold seemed suspicious when he noticed the sudden tense atmosphere.

“What’s wrong, princess? Is there a problem with that red-haired adventurer over there? I’ll fix it.”
“It’s not a problem. Did you say you’re an adventurer? Give me some time to talk to that adventurer.”
“All right.”

Count Harold, who had intervened without notice, quietly withdrew.
Thanks to this, Rebecca and Princess Selma were able to talk without interruption.

I, too, who is watching, are nervous and my hands are shaking.
There won’t be any sudden slaps between women, right?

“It’s been a while. Princess Selma. And respected Master Pamela.”

It was Rebecca who spoke first.
Rebecca got down on her one knee on her ground and saluted the two of them.
It wasn’t until her voice resonated that Princess Selma was finally convinced that what appeared in front of her was her childhood friend.

“Rebecca…! You’re really Rebecca! What were you doing in a place like this! She left without saying a word that she was leaving!”
“Mi, I’m sorry! She just wasn’t in the mood to leave a letter!”

Princess Selma came running and hugged Rebecca while shedding tears.
They must have been very close friends in her hometown.

In terms of a man, is he an unfaithful friend?
Since they’re both girls, they’d be like clams.

“Didn’t you starve? Didn’t anyone do anything bad to you? And you’re an adventurer! Did you have a hard time making a living to the point of doing such a dangerous job!”
“Please calm down…!”

In an instant, a mournful atmosphere flowed in front of my eyes, like a program for reunion of separated families. Hugged by her princess Selma, Rebecca struggled a little as she gasped. The heartwarming sight of the two women’s breasts pressing down like sandwiches drew attention.

“Ugh… I’ve had enough to live on, so I don’t have to worry about it. Being an adventurer is surprisingly profitable.”
“Then let’s go back to Jakarta right away! If it’s an engagement issue, you don’t have to worry. The royal family has already made your engagement a complete no-no. I made a special request to Obama. Even if you go back to your hometown, you won’t be punished.”

As it turned out, it seemed that Rebecca’s break-away issue had already been neatly resolved. It seems that Princess Selma wrote down her hand so that her gossip wouldn’t go away.
It was fortunate that Rebecca was not treated like a criminal in her hometown.

Rebecca responded to Princess Selma with her complex expression.

She said, “Thanks for your concern, but I’m not going back to Jakarta. She’s got to meet the person she loves in the Northern Kingdom. She can’t leave her lover.”
“What?! You got a man? A lie!”
“Oh no really. Is there a blonde guy over there? Tanned skin with horns on his head. That’s him.”

Rebecca raised her finger directly to her and pointed at me.
Thanks to that, Princess Selma and Pamela’s eyes reached me. Pamela didn’t show any signs, but Princess Selma was scanning me from top to bottom as if scanning.

“Kuhm.”

It’s a bit awkward to suddenly get her attention from the princess.
I bowed my head and bowed lightly.
Princess Selma finally turned her head after looking around for a very long time.

“Nonsense! Are you saying that you abandoned your childhood friend’s hometown just for the sake of a man?”
“I’m not throwing it away, but I’ll visit my parents’ house from time to time.”
“That’s what you throw away! Rebecca! Was our friendship so shallow? You promised to choose friendship over love.”
“I made that promise when I was nine…”
“Then why are you abandoning me!”

Princess Selma’s obsession with Rebecca was no joke.
She wasn’t going to let go for a while, so Rebecca finally took drastic measures.

“I’ll scold you!”

Conflict! While making a sound, she confessed her honest feelings.

“I don’t want to be single any longer! How long will you be only talking about friendship! Then the princess will end her good days and become her old maid.”
“Huh?!”

Old maid!
Princess Selma’s arms that were holding Rebecca finally loosened as if she had hit her head. Princess Selma was speechless as she must have been quite shocked.
Taking advantage of that opportunity, Rebecca brought up her story like a rapid-fire weapon.

“Everyone goes to play with their boyfriends on the day of the festival, but what fun is it to play with girls! I think it’s okay to give up friendship for the sake of dating! Please understand, Princess Selma!”
“…Huh!!”

Princess Selma finally let go of Rebecca. Even though they act pretty rough, seeing as no one among the princess’ escorts stopped them, it seemed that they were playing like that.
Princess Selma, shocked by her shock, groaned at her while talking to herself.

“The Rebecca I knew is gone. Now our Rebecca is no longer a baby… She’s grown up… She’s a baby dirty…”
“Yes! I’m an adult!!”

That’s how the princess was defeated.
Now, the only thing left to separate us is Rebecca’s teacher, Pamela.

“Princess Selma. Let’s leave that out. There are people from the Northern Kingdom, so you can’t show your shame.”
“Pamela…! It’s black.”
“Let’s go back to the carriage. I also have something to say to my pupil. I think you’d better go into the city and find a place to talk comfortably. This is not a good place to unwind.”

Pamela didn’t bother to have a deep conversation with Rebecca here.
It was impossible to keep Count Harold waiting forever.
If I can find a place to have a comfortable conversation, I’m happy too.
You can think ahead of time about what to say.

“Let’s start off soon.”

We returned to Joensuu with the envoys.
While returning, Princess Selma’s sorrowful voice resounded in the carriage.

“Come back Rebecca… Our innocent baby… Black and white.”

It felt strange because it felt like I had done NTR.
Can stealing a childhood friend of the same sex be treated as NTR?
