Chapter 79 – Because the Princess’s Smiling Face Is Pretty

Morning, two days after spending the night with the three elves.

I was getting dressed to go out.
Normally it would have been preparations for training as a knight, but today it was for other business.

As I was checking my outfit in the mirror, Agnes, who was with me, said.

“I didn’t know that you could actually enter the castle as Kiella’s secretary.”

“I see. I don’t know what the queen wanted, but she’s fine, whatever.”

“Be careful, Dake. The Queen may be plotting a plan.”

“Okay, I’ll be careful.”

Agnes’ face was full of worry, like a woman sending her husband to war.

“If you need help from the Knights, please tell me. I will somehow persuade the members to help you.”

In fact, occupying the castle with the force of the knights and Kiella is the surest way to subdue the queen.

But there was one obstacle to that.

“If the knights come out, we might have to fight against royal wizards. Are you okay?”

“But if it’s for Dayke’s sake…”

Royal wizards hide in places unknown to anyone and focus on magic research, but when disaster strikes the kingdom, they come out into the world to solve it.

If the knights’ blades were pointed at the queen, it was obvious that wizards would appear, and bloodshed would be unavoidable, so I did not want to create such a situation if possible.

“Don’t worry, I’ll do my best to handle it. If it still doesn’t work, I’ll ask for help then.”

“Yes, I understand. By the way, once you enter the castle, I won’t be able to see you again for a while…”

“It’s okay. I’ll come here every day I have off. Or, since Kiella is my boss anyway, you can just ask for time off.”

“I guess so. Anyway, please take care of yourself.”

“I will. Thank you, Agnes.”

After dressing her up one more time and giving her a light kiss, I left her barracks and headed towards her castle.

[Reminder of the Corruption Progression Achievement Guide]

‘… ‘Reminder?’

Letters floating in the air, visible only to me.

Seeing them brought back memories of before falling asleep with the elves a few days ago.

‘Oh, I was sleepy at the time so I couldn’t see it properly.’

It’s quite kind of you to remind me that I missed it.
But the following sentence immediately blew away my thoughts.

[Fuck Princess Iril.]

‘… What? ‘What are you talking about?’

The princess is an obstacle to the queen’s revenge.
However, it was ridiculous logic to violate her innocent self.

‘I want to corrupt the bad elf, I don’t want to corrupt myself into trash.’

In any case, the guide is just a recommendation and you do not have to follow it.
I will decide how to solve the princess problem.
By somehow finding a way to avoid harming her.

‘It’s not even funny to rape a princess.’

With my thoughts, I erased the screen in front of me, snorted, and started walking again.

—

The queen’s throne room, which I haven’t seen in a long time.
As she entered, her eyes caught sight of Kiella, who had come first, and the queen sitting on her throne.

“…Welcome, Dake.”

The queen’s face looks like she’s completely pissed off.

It didn’t look like anyone was welcoming it, but I didn’t care at all.

“Thank you for calling me. I don’t know what to do with being recognized by the Queen.”

“There is no need for that. You will only be in this castle while Justice Kiella adjusts to the royal castle.”

“Yes, of course.”

“Ha… Kiella. I’m asking you to get used to it as quickly as possible.”

Squeak… Bang!

“Dake!”

A lively voice is heard along with the sound of the throne room door opening.

The main character of that voice was Princess Iril.

“Baby, why are you here…!”

“Welcome to the castle! I’m so happy because it means that Dake’s abilities have been recognized!”

“Thank you, princess.”

As rumors spread quickly within the castle, the princess must have come running with joy when she heard that I was coming.

“Thank you, Kiella, too. For being so kind to Dayke.”

“You don’t have to thank me. It’s because he’s good at it, right?”

“…Baby, aren’t you in class right now? Did you skip out in the middle again?”

“No, mamama. I just stopped by during break. Dake might have been nervous because he came because of work.”

As the princess said that, both of her hands grabbed my hand.

“Dake has done well so far, so don’t be nervous and show off your abilities! Oh, and tonight…”

He trails off at the end of his words and sends me a secret sign with his eyes.
Although there was no prior agreement, I simply understood the meaning.

It probably means that he wants you to come to his room again tonight.
As I had often done since the day I first snuck into her room.

“Baby, why are you doing this?”

“Huh? Oh, it’s nothing! Oh, I’m telling you to do your best starting today and get a good night’s rest tonight! Okay, Dake? You’re going to get a good night’s rest tonight? Then, I’ll go!”

After the princess left the throne room with a sigh from the queen, she received basic training on what to do from Kiella and other castle residents.

My position is interim legal assistant.
There was no armor for human men, so even though he was a knight, he only wore cloth clothes, but he said he couldn’t lower the level of his castle, so he even got a neat suit.

The first day I entered the castle as Kiella’s counselor.
As I had finally set foot in the enemy’s stronghold, I wanted to investigate the castle’s internal structure and the queen’s living patterns, but unfortunately I was unable to do so.

This was because they judged that if they wandered around from day one, they might arouse suspicion from those around them.

It seemed better to proceed stably and reliably without being too motivated to get things wrong.

For that reason, her first legal assistant job passed without incident.

And on the night I came, my job was not to rest in the room next to Kiella’s bedroom, but to respond to the princess’s invitation.

‘No one is watching… ?’

Just because I entered the castle didn’t mean I could confidently go to the princess’s room, so I secretly left the castle like before and headed to the backyard where I could see the window of the princess’s room.

Next, I shined a light on her window with the magic flashlight I had received from the princess, and she again let down a rope woven from her blanket.

“Welcome!”

She greets me as soon as I climb up her rope and enter her window.
Her face was brighter than when I saw her in the throne room in the morning.

“You must be a dick to know my password!”

“If you send a signal so blatantly, it’s impossible not to know.”

“Oh, really? Then, is it even possible that Momma noticed?”

“Probably not.”

“Whoa, I’m glad…”

The facial expressions that change with each word make me laugh without realizing it.

“Then, since no one caught me, I’ll talk a lot today too!”

“Yes it is.”

“By the way. Deke, haven’t you forgotten something?”

Suddenly the princess blinks her eyes and asks:
It seemed like he was expecting something, but I couldn’t think of anything.

‘Did you promise to bring anything when you came here?’

“What are you talking about…?”

“Dake was able to become a legal assistant because of me. Momma was originally going to reject Kiella’s request, but I talked her into it and she accepted it. Hehe.”

I thought the queen, who would have hated it if I even set foot in the castle, surprisingly accepted it willingly, but it seems the princess had the credit.

“I’m sorry. I didn’t even know that. Thank you so much.”

“Actually… I tried to persuade my mom with mature, logical reasoning, right? But I was so upset because she didn’t listen to me. So I cried again…”

The princess’s shoulders slumped as if she was disappointed.

“But thanks to the princess crying, I was able to come. Tears are also a great negotiation tool, so you did a good job.”

“Is that so… I guess so? I did well, right? Hehe.”

Words of comfort are very effective.
No, is the other person having thin ears?

Anyway, not even ten seconds after she became gloomy, the princess was smiling brightly again.

It was a moment when I, looking at him face to face, smiled lightly along with me.
Unwelcome texts appeared in front of her face.

[Reminder of the Corruption Progression Achievement Guide]

‘… It floats on its own again.’

[The corruption progression is also achievable. Rape Princess Iril.]

Yes, given the current situation, it is possible if you put your mind to it.
Because subduing a weak elf in a room with just the two of you is no task.

However, even if the princess wanted it, as I said before, I have no intention of forcing it.
If I repay the favor I received from her past life in that way, would I be a human or a brute?

She didn’t want to see meaningless notifications again, so she manipulated the screen in front of her with her thoughts and turned off the app notification function.

“Dake? Why are you looking at me so intently…?”

“Huh? Oh, princess, your smiling face is so pretty.”

“W-Did you say that? That’s right… Ahaha…”

The atmosphere became awkward due to my hasty words.

When I thought I should change the subject, the princess spoke first.

“Should she sit down instead of continuing to stand?”

“네, 공주님.”

“You know, broccoli was served for lunch today, right? But I didn’t feel like it anymore today, so I tried to secretly put it in, but the maid said, “Well…”

The princess’s story begins as soon as she sits down on the bed.
I forgot about her discomfort from her earlier announcement and fell into conversation with her.

—

The night after Dake entered the castle as legal assistant.
The interior of the castle, with the lights off, was covered in darkness, but only the Supreme Court Justice’s office was brightly lit.

대법관으로 복귀한 키엘라가 남들이 잠든 시간까지 남아 자료 정리를 하고 있었기 때문.

“Whoa, it’s finished. You’re more meticulous than you look to have been working until this hour.”

Kiella, who was organizing her desk, responded to Dake’s words.

“미리 해놔야 다음이 편해지니까. 어차피 막 복귀한 참이라 이런 거고 앞으로는 제때 끝날 거야. 그보다 진짜 끝까지 도와줬네. 그럴 필요 없다니까…”

“It’s okay. This way it will end quickly.”

There is no particular reason why Dake stayed and helped her until the end.
I just wanted to have sex today.
Since I don’t know when the job will end if Kiella is left alone, it would have been better for the two of us to finish it quickly.

‘Now go back to your room… No, do you really need to go to the room?’

Doing it here will give you a different feel and you can also see Kiella in trouble, so you kill two birds with one stone.

With his thoughts stretched to that point, Dake approached Kiella with a sinister smile.

“Anyway, you went through a lot of trouble when you came back to the castle because of me.”

“…What are you talking about all of a sudden?”

“I thought I would give a reward to the hard-working slave.”

Dake slowly reaches out his hand and strokes Kiella’s thigh.

“Huh, wait a minute…”

“It’s okay. Everyone is sleeping anyway. Is there any elf who will be here at this hour?”

Kiella’s heart leaps at the realization that she cannot disobey Dike and her instinctive anticipation.

Thankfully, even when his hands started to undress her, she didn’t resist.

At that moment, the screen of the phone in Dake’s pocket turned on by itself.

Although it is an unusual situation, Dayck, who has turned off the app’s notification function, is unable to notice.

While his attention was focused on Kiella, sentences were listed on the app screen.

[Confirmation that the user has no will to achieve corruption progress. Activates self-assistance system.]

However, nothing happened in the office where Dake was.

The place where the change occurred is somewhere else.
This was the room where Iril was sleeping.

A pure white light appeared in front of her as she wandered through her dream.
It grew stronger and stronger, enough to wake Iril, who had her eyes closed.

“Umm… Moji…”

“Princess…Princess Iril.”

At the unfamiliar voice, Ilil frowns and raises her body.

What I could see with my eyes forced open was the shape of an elf surrounded by pure white light.

“Wake up, Iril.”

“Uh…?”

The princess is dumbfounded by this phenomenon she is experiencing for the first time.
But why?
For some reason, she seemed to know the identity of the being calling her.

“Goddess…?”
