Chapter 210 – Stella) Overtaking

“So what are you going to do?
The demon lord is still far away.”

“Right now, I will take the queen and go to the leadership of the Salvation Army.”

“Please.
I will order the escape preparations immediately.

Count Abu Bakr, take charge of the escape squad and organize it.
Sir Angela, take over the air support.
Miss Marianne rearguard…”

Leadership on the move.

I open the dimensional door with Kamyu and head to the 7th Corps of the Demon King’s Army.
The 3rd Legion is ahead of him, but in the end it is under the command of the Four Heavenly Kings, Nene.

Jiying—.

Even with the dimensional door, it was not possible to arrive at once.
Because we don’t know the coordinates of the moving group.
As a rule of thumb, I had to open the dimension door, look at the high mountain, and adjust the coordinates a few times.

The Demon King’s 7th Corps arrived like that.

“Welcome, Mr. Sang Sang♡”

Nene greets Kamyu with a proud expression.
It’s really dripping.
Ahhh, eyeballs.

“Master.
The message is that Alberic has broken down the walls of Humpback Whale Fortress.
Perhaps Humpback Whale Fortress has already been captured.”

Nene listened to Kamyu’s explanation that started like that.
That expression hardens rapidly.

“I guess we should hurry up the march.
It will be difficult for Balak or Khan to arrive on time.
It’s a big deal.
3rd Corps, 7th Corps.
Even the combined 14,000 of the 2 corps and the brainwashed enemy soldiers cannot compare to the 200,000 enemy army.”

“So that’s what I mean…”

The three put their heads together at a strategy meeting.

“Oh.
I have good news for you.”

“What news?”

Nene answers my question with a smile.

Be kind
You are pretty
You’re sexy
Is this the charm of adults?!
I’d love it even if I was a man

Camus stares frantically every time she strikes her eye.
… Kick it out

“The news that Cheonghaejin has hired 5,000 nomadic cavalry.
They are currently gathering in the border area of ​​the Eastern Highlands.
Soon they will try to enter Amity to the east.”

“That is good news.”

Camus.
Capable
He is also good at diplomacy.
Even before meeting me, he had already prepared a means to go to Cheonghaejin and put pressure on the eastern region.

The real Catherine siege net.
Although the Humpback Whale Fortress was breached earlier than expected, so there were some holes.
The Cheonghae 7th Fleet is pressuring the South,
The nomadic cavalry of the steppe to the east,
If Genocider Khan attacks the West.
And if we escape and join the Nene Legion in the Northwest and the Caltz Legion in the North.
A plan to be able to encircle the enemy from all sides.

“I’ll speed up the march.
Expect to escape within a few days.
Then the escape route is here and here.
In case of emergency…”

Determining junctions and escape routes.

“I’m sorry for killing Bellondel.
I couldn’t help it.
You must capture the movement of the fairy forest close to Master’s estate.
We’re fighting humans right now, so we can’t even deal with fairies.
It’s not a situation where you can afford a two-sided war.”

“Well, I killed the guy who should have been killed.
I can’t help it.
You did well the way you wanted to.
You did a good job.
Did you get a promotion as well?
Even officially, he’s the enemy of the Demon Lord.
That’s because I talked to the ‘Queen of Flowers’ later…”

Also consider external variables.

After the meeting, my head is hot.

“Would you like some tea?”

“Ah yes.
Thank you.”

Have some refreshments

“Are you going back soon?”

“Yes.
I had to prepare to escape right away.
There is a bioweapons laboratory at the place marked on the map here, please check it.”

“Then.
Just trust me, Mr. Sang Sang.”

Really cute…
Will love be like that?
Or is it possible because I am certain that I am loved?
Or heaven?
Curious…

“Hold on to the bathroom for a while…”

“Yeah, let’s go~”

Flutter.

Now that the perverted demon is away, this is your chance!

Pod!

“! Surprise the child.”

Without realizing it, I lean toward you.

“Sorry.
Excuse me… I have something to ask you.”

“Feel free to speak.
Because you are the queen of Amitie.
They are of different races, but don’t think too much about the age difference.”

Horok.

She drinks her Earl Grey with her dignity.

“How did Nene come to like that Mr. Pervert?”

“Yes? This is a sudden question.
Hmm… I don’t know.”

“Yes?”

What.

Dalgrak.

She puts the teacup down, and with her hand resting on one of her cheeks, she fiddles with the spoon.
… How does your heart move like that?
How big is it

“I really don’t know.
At some point… Pak, I was stuck.”

“…”

“It just feels like a halo shines at some point?
It’s embarrassing, but it really was.
It seems like a rain of flowers is falling behind the curtain, and I keep thinking about it when I close my eyes, and that was it.”

If so, I have nothing to ask.
… What I want to ask is that this is not the case.
No.
Maybe this is the answer

“That Mr. Pervert really relied on Nene.”

“Yes.
It’s because he’s older, and he’s a teacher.”

“Don’t mean that.”

She raises her eyebrows.

“Oh, what do you mean?”

“Just.
Depending on you as a lover?”

From his panties to his favorite sword.
Because her traces are full.

“Ah. Yes.
I depend on it as much.”

“How can I do that?”

“Yes?”

She opens her eyes round.
Although she is of a different race, she is mature and mature.
She he absolutely believes in.

So I really want to ask.
Even if I show my heart a little bit.

“Two minutes. How did you meet?”

“Ah.
It is because of that.”

What?

Nene smiled and looked into my eyes.

“Are you anxious?”

“!”

Rattle.

My heart sank.

“What do you mean?”

“You are asking because you are anxious.
Because you are a party to an arranged marriage without dating.
I’m afraid I won’t be happy.
I’m afraid I won’t be loved.”

“I’m afraid I won’t be able to love you.”

“Is it so?
Hmm. Maybe.”

Horok.

The scent of earl gray spreads through the tent.

“As a woman.
No, everyone thinks like that when preparing for marriage.

With a different race, especially if it is an arranged marriage.”

This woman
I’m not the Four Heavenly Kings for nothing.
But.
I heard it’s about 300 years old.
He lived about five times as long as my grandfather, but the difference in experience between me and me must be enormous.

“You know that.”

Horok.

I also drink a cup of tea.
Sore throat
Hide her face with a teacup for a while and dig it up.

“I want to ask you honestly.”

“To me?
It is an honour.”

The Four Heavenly Kings bowing lightly.

“Because she might be Mr. Pervert’s second wife.”

“This is an unfair word.
How dare I surpass the king of a country…”

She bows her head.

“I’m sorry.

I didn’t mean to talk about the order now.

I’m just talking from the point of view of marrying the same person.”

Horok.

“I am so envious of you.”

“Yes?”

Thought and thought again.
What Kamyu’s lover said to me.

[Pretty princess.
… My darling, please take good care of me.
He is a really good demon and a warm man.]

How could that be?

[I think the star princess suits her really well.]

The courage to ask another woman for her own lover.
Couldn’t that come from the confidence that she could still be loved by her lover?

“How can you love him unconditionally?
That courage.
Where are you coming from?
Even though I love you so much, aren’t you afraid of being abandoned by him?”

What to answer
Isn’t Kamyu such a kid?
You know I’ve been dating for about a hundred years, right?
Because I’m a sexy queen

The answer was unexpected.

“I have no courage.
I’m scared too.
The fear that love may not be reciprocated with love.
But I just love you.”

“Is that going to happen?”

“Love is courage.
I don’t know what the cost of my love is, but I love you first.
Ironically, if you only want to be loved, you cannot be loved.”

“… Even if I love you, what if the other person doesn’t love me?”

She put on a very sad expression.

“I also thought that way at one time.
So I committed an irreversible sin out of insecurity.
… I’m paying the price for that now.
I hope the Queen of Humans won’t make the same mistake as I did.”

“I don’t mind, but can I ask about that mistake?”

“… I was hypnotized. To Camus.
Don’t change and love me.”

“Yeah?!”

What.
The sincere story that has continued since then.
… If it wasn’t for that hypnosis, Nene might have become Kamyu’s first wife.
No, she might have been the only wife.

“… That’s how it happened.
I am washing away my sins.
Thanks for listening.”

“Thank you for listening to me,
Two minutes…
It’s a more complicated story than I thought.
I thought you were always haha.”

She laughed bitterly.

“I said everything without even knowing.
The conclusion is this.
Don’t be afraid when you love.
Because that’s what makes it hard.
Both you and the two of you.”

“Then…”

It was then.

“Cohesion!”

“Cohesion!”

“Cohesion. Rest.”

There are many more things I wanted to ask, sheesh.

“Oh, sorry.
There were a lot of faces I hadn’t seen in a long time, so I was saying hello.
Haha!
… Why, why?
What did you put on that face?”

We stared at his face for a while, smiling shyly.

* * *

That night.

Smart.

“Princess Mama, Your Highness has eaten.”

“Oh, come in and tell me.”

Click. Widely.

“Stellar.
What are you doing at such a late hour?”

“Sister.”

“Huh. Come in.”

Trembling, I go to the chair next to the bed and sit down.
Late hour.
My sister was sitting on the bed, reading a book by her candlelight.

Widely.

My sister closed the book and put it on the desk next to the bed.

“What is it?
Can’t you sleep?”

“… Huh.”

“Scared? Do you want to sleep together?”

“… No.
I have something to say.”

“What?
Say it.”

Feeling guilty.
He buried her hand between her legs and bowed her head.
Just mumble.
I barely spoke.

“Sorry.”

“What do you mean?”

She smiled faintly as if she had already guessed.
You’ve seen it all
The day I became queen and sat next to him at the dinner after his coronation.
The way I walked and chatted with him.
She smiled involuntarily as she crossed the portal between him and hers.
She just thinks of me and spares her words.

“Hey.”

“Huh.”

“There is a guy I like.”

“Okay?
Congratulations.”

“… Okay?
Really?”

What will your sister say?
Shall we ask, ‘Oh, who are you?’
Or would she pretend she didn’t know about Julien’s affair and say, ‘This is the first time you’ve liked someone’?

“Then.
Are you a grown-up too?
When you’re 20, it’s rather late.
The time has come to love.”

My sister naturally accepts it.
Knowing the feelings of a younger brother looking at the same man.

“Stellar.
I’m a really charming, sincere kid.
I believe you will get along well no matter who you meet.”

I decided not to stand in line behind her sister anymore like I did with Julien.

“Thank you.
Actually, I like Mr. Kamu.”

“… Huh.
I know.”

Also.

“I’m going to tell her grandfather tomorrow that I accept arranged marriages.”

“Sure.”

“First, let’s start with a simple engagement ceremony.”

“I’ll be there to help.”

Fall.

Her heart breaks
I’m so selfish.
My sister is sick, struggling, and she needs the man.
I like him just because I like him.
Can it be like this?

Tight.

Her older sister approaches and holds the hand of her rather ugly younger sister.

“Hey, hehe…”

“Don’t cry.
Don’t worry.”

It’s stupid.
I’m afraid I won’t be able to comfort her sister.
My sister comforts me

“Stellar.
In fact, it has been on my mind since before.”

“Hey, what, what?”

An older sister who pats her on the back and hands her a handkerchief.

“That you liked Mr. Julien.”

“!!!”

“You, hiding behind the pillars in the ballroom, staring at him.
His second partner who danced with me was always you.
Because you were waiting.”

“…”

“It was then that you, who didn’t like dancing, plucked up the courage to practice the steps for the first time.”

“…”

“At that time, I was also selfish.
Because I liked him too.
Whoops, I was too young.
Sorry.
I’ll apologize.
I couldn’t care for you.”

So don’t mind me this time, enjoy it as much as you like.

I know without saying
Her sister’s will touches her heart.
Her sister’s words push my tears out.
Guilt dripping drop by drop.
I open my lips with a hot desire that even those tears can’t cool down.

“Sister, black.
Sorry…
I’ll go ahead just once.”

I was always behind my sister.
Praise from the elders of the royal family.
Grades in learning.
Ranking of suitors.
Even the man you like.

A princess in the shadows right next to the spotlight.
Now I want to take a step towards that bright place.
Or, in that shadow, I want to be a star that shines brightly.
So, the star princess.
Now the queen of the stars.

It’s okay even if you don’t have a title.
Just… I want to meet even the man I want to meet.
Is it greed?

“I, Heuk, I really like you.
Briskly, I don’t want to fight with my sister, and I don’t hate her either.
Ugh, it’s just, black, it’s just that there was a sister in front of the road I was going to go on.
My older sister was just standing in line in front of the person I like.”

My favorite person in the world, sister.

Shed tears

“Hey, so, hehe, so…”

Sow my words.

“Can I go ahead just this once?”

Her sister gave me a gentle hug.

“Then.”

A cry that had been barely suppressed burst out.
We’ve been hugging for such a long time.
