Chapter 168 – Rescuing the Sick Princess

“Are you asking me to believe that?”

After calming down a bit, the respectful words come out again.

“I know you won’t believe it.
But it really was.
At first, I was trying to reach you, Princess of the Stars.
Saint of the Sun, Knight of the Moon.
All of them were my enemies, and there was no guilt in the means and methods.
But… Ha.
Have a boyfriend?”

“Go, go, what a sudden question!
Can’t you see I’m missing?!
Do I look like a child!”

Why is this all of a sudden
He looks like a baby, and his cheeks are a bit puffy, but
Who said what

“Or maybe it was.
Why are you so angry?
I was just asking
I’ve only been in a relationship twice.”

“… Keugh!
… Not now.
Well, there has been talk of arranged marriages since I was young.
I’ve met a lot of people, but…
What does free love mean to a princess?
Well, it’s just that the grown-ups of the royal family are pushed around and look at their faces.
I couldn’t even be with someone who would do well thanks to that.
Why is that all of a sudden?”

I am flying towards my destination,
Stella stares at my face like that from the side.
Since I don’t see her face, she seems to be more responsive.
So I deliberately only look forward.

“I’ve only been in a relationship twice, but the period was rather long.
It’s about twice a hundred years, so from a human point of view, it must be a lot longer.”

“… Yes.
For humans, it is almost a period of four marriages.”

“Well, marriage and dating are different.
Anyway, these two demons have been in love for such a long time.
I still really like it.
But the two human women I hypnotized
I don’t know what kind of magic they’re using…
It hasn’t been long since we met, but I fell in love so much.
As much as the demon women I have loved for such a long time.”

What other story could be more interesting than someone else’s love story?
Stella, who had been arguing with each other raising their voices a while ago,
Before she knew it, she pricked up her ears like a rabbit
I’m focusing on my story.

“Joy. Don’t you know that?
Originally, love has nothing to do with how long you met.
On the contrary, if you meet for a long time, you lose interest.
Aren’t you attracted to her because she’s a stranger?”

He’s just over 20 years old, but his words are quite sharp.
You must have read a lot of love stories.

“No.
My girlfriends are always new even after meeting for 100 years?
It’s so pretty that I never get tired of looking at it.”

“What? No luck What do you say?”

Oops. Isn’t it time to brag about girls?
But just thinking about Nene and Rumika makes her chest magnify.
Look at me what to do
Big! Anyway!

“There was a bit of talk.
What I mean is, ‘I don’t like it just because it’s a stranger’.
… If it wasn’t for Rebekah in the first place
I didn’t even give my heart to a human woman.”

“Ah. He, the one who shouted last when he jumped off the tower?
It came out when I was talking to Miss Marianne.
What happened?”

Oops. I’m not going to talk about this.

“… That’s later
Anyway, I’ve been stuck ever since.
Somehow, I fell for Marie and Angela too much.
So I was kind of scared.
‘What if I continue to hypnotize and fall in love?’
I thought, ‘Maybe I’m not really the type to be a hypnotist?’
My teacher had a lot of those concerns too.”

“So?”

“So… Although it is highly unlikely,
I wanted to do well with you without hypnosis.
Intervene in civil war and win
Save Princess Anne too.”

“This is stupid.
Do you know the difference between love and gratitude?
If you say thank you and fall in love, all the men will come to the rescue.”

“Your heart is second,
You will win the hearts of Duke Dupre and the nobles.
It becomes a justification and gains benefits.”

“Under! Do you think that will work out like that?”

“It seemed impossible.
As soon as he found out he was a demon, he lost his hand.
I knew that.”

“But why did you do it?”

“Someone has to start somehow.
The beginning is always difficult.”

“What are you going to start with?”

“Reconciliation between the Demon King and humans.
Peace treaty.”

“By what means?”

“The marriage alliance of the two royal families.”

“This is nonsense!!”

I’m going to lose my hearing
Stella screamed with a flushed face.

“So you saved my sister?!
Oh, I see!
You, the Dark Blood holder, the former corps commander, the espionage officer!
Are you going to flirt with her sister and make a connection with the royal family of Amity?”

He must have heard all about the circumstances from Duke Dupre.
Very troublesome

“Vocabulary is too cheap.
Is it a marriage alliance?
If the royal family of Amitye takes the lead and sets an example,
The perception of the people and nobles will also change.”

“You know that’s as easy as it sounds?
Under! You really… I didn’t see that…”

“Shh. We’re almost there.
There may be traps and guards inside the dragon nest.
Let’s be careful.”

“Chit.”

Whoops.

Passed through the dimensional gate.

* * *

“It turns out to be so much easier than I thought.”

“Well, who would put a monster in a nest full of gold and treasure?
I can’t believe my men either.
Anyway, I’m glad there are no distractions.”

While we are talking
He is staring at the gold and silver treasures piled up like a mountain in front of his eyes.
Ugh.
The body is also golden, but I have collected a lot.

“Where is your sister?”

“It must be in a place that looks like a room.
I have to eat, wash my body, and go to the bathroom.
Come this way.”

He is maintaining his original body by unlocking his latent mana.
The limit will come.
Avoid the battle, let’s end it quickly.

“What are you here for?”

“”!!!””

Wow, what a surprise!!

A human servant was standing behind us before we knew it.

Shashak!

Stella quickly hides behind my back.
And he sticks out his face from my back and says.

“Who, who are you!”

“I am a servant.”

Who doesn’t know that?
Just looking at it now, he’s a servant.

“Would you like to eat?”

What?
Strange.
What is this artificial feeling?

Bubbly.

“Uh?! Where are you going?!”

“I have something to check.”

I reached out to the human servant who appeared in the dragon’s lair.
And.

Suwook.

“Uh?!”

My hand passed through the belly of a human servant.

“It’s an illusion.”

Then it is.
A human servant who appeared behind him without a measure of popularity.
How could humans roam the dragon’s treasure house?

“Would you like to eat?”

“Guide me to Princess Anne Amityer, who recently arrived.”

“Yes. Here.”

Stella licks her lips.

‘Where?’

I also answer verbally.

‘Let’s follow.’

Bubbly.

The room was not far from the treasure house.
… A princess is also a treasure.
A precious prisoner? It must be like that.

“I think so.”

“Is this a trap?”

“I never thought anyone would come this far.
Security and guards will be outside.”

This is the greatness of dimension magic.
No security devices are of any use.
Of course I’m from Nuvacane’s brain
The memory of the coordinates, space, and void of the treasure house
It is possible because you have read it.
Otherwise, he would have gotten caught in a wall or treasure and died.

Sigh.

The door opens,

“Sister yi yi!!”

It is a moment of emotional reunion.

Wow!

“Stellar!
Really… You really came… !!”

“Sister… Ugh… Sister… !!!”

The sight of the pink-haired sisters embracing each other and crying is quite touching.
… It’s worth the hard work today.

“I’m glad you’re okay.”

“Prince Camu… !!
Oh god, really… !”

Ann jumps up and holds my hand with both hands.

“Haha. Did I promise?
They say they’re coming to save you, even to the ends of hell.”

Tears welled up in Anne’s eyes.
In the meantime, the dark circles seem to have come down more.
Do you really think you’d collapse if you spilled her tears?

My worries were unfounded.

Warak.

“!!!”

“Thank you, thank you very much.
I really… I almost gave up on everything.”

“Sister!”

Despite Stella’s cry, Ann gently hugs me and kisses her on both cheeks.

“Thank you…
Black, thank you… Whoops, yes!”

“Are you okay. Because it’s over now.”

Seeing me pat her on the back
Stella makes a very complicated expression.
What sister could have of her who would rely more on her younger brother than on her own.
It’s just human psychology, so don’t get angry.

Ann stopped crying and calmed down after a while.

“How did you come?
Nuvacane must have been summoned…”

“As we defeated Nuvacane, we found the spatial coordinates of the nest.”

“A gold dragon?!”

“That is…”

A brief explanation follows,

“… It is truly miraculous.”

“Yes. Thanks to Sir Angela’s courage.
Although Nuvacane was resurrected as a biological weapon,
She knocked it down once.
She must return before he ever returns.”

“Yes it is. Let’s go.”

Suddenly, Stella grabs Ann’s arm.

“Wait a minute, sister.”

“What’s the matter?”

Stella takes her Ann’s arm and hides it behind her tiny little body of herself.

“You can’t trust this guy.
Kamyu, this person is a demon.”

“What?”

Aigoo.

“This guy is a sneaky demon.
He said he was targeting me from the beginning and approaching her sister!”

“… Is this true, Lord Camus?”

“No. It is false.”

“What?! You liar!”

I said calmly while chewing on the bread placed in the room.

“In order to arrest High Priest Philip, who directed the attack on former saints,
And the person who caused the cathedral terrorism
I came to you, Princess Anne, to catch the infiltrators of the Demon King’s army.”

“Lie!
It’s a lie, sister!”

“Stella, calm down.”

Ann grabs Stella by the shoulders and comforts her.
And she looks at me

“I will ask you one by one.
Are you a demon?”

“Yes.”

“Can you show me the horns?”

“Yes.”

Reveals hidden horns.
Dispelling magic is easy.

“…”

I lower my head to make it easier to touch the horns.
She reached out her hand and touched her horns without saying a word to her.

Little sigh.

“… I’m sorry.”

“Would you give me your arm?”

Swoop.

I hold the wrist of my outstretched arm with that slender hand,
No, putting it on would be more appropriate.
Right now, my fingers are bony from the hardships of my body and mind.
It feels like shaking hands with a scarecrow.

But why are you holding this?

“Next question.
Your name is Kamu Abubakr, right?”

“No. This is Camus Franz.”

Stella lifts her tiptoe and constantly whispers something of hers in Anne’s ear.
Ann nods at her for a moment, then continues her question.
In the meantime, I put her hand on my wrist as if taking the pulse.

“Are you the commander of the iron mask corps?”

“Yes.”

“Is it true that you hypnotized Miss Marianne and Sir Angela?”

“That’s right.”

“Are they now hypnotized by High Priest Philip?”

“Yes.”

“Did you love Miss Marianne and Sir Angela?
Sincerely?”

“Yes.”

She looks straight into my eyes.
On a face with dark circles, only the eyes are shapely.

“How much?”

“To the extent that I risked my life to climb on top of the dragon’s head.
Or even risking their lives to storm into the cathedral.”

“…”

“Sister, you can stop listening to these demons.”

“Stellar.
Stay a while
My maternal grandfather also said ‘such a thing’.
Let’s listen.”

What is ‘such a word’?

Leaving behind my curiosity, questions follow.

“Why did you save me?”

“Because I promised to save you.”

“No, why did you want to save it?”

“Because you were kind to me.”

“Yes?”

I look into her eyes at Anne’s question.

“When you visit, they give you something delicious,
After the terrorist attack on the cathedral, I was afraid that it would be dangerous, so I slept in a separate palace.
Thank you for giving me money too.
Marianne said that she would protect her whenever she came to the palace.
Because you promised first.
The favor shown to Marie was done to me.”

“…”

“Isn’t that enough?”

“Next question.”

Klopp.

What are you salivating? Are you thirsty?
Though confined, food and drink were scattered throughout the room.

And the ‘words like that’ that came out earlier appeared.

“… To marry Stella of convenience
Did you say that first?”

Yes? I beg your pardon?
