Chapter 58 – 07. Mom, I’m Strange There…

‘You can’t do this to me!’

He knew that Siwoo was trying to take advantage of Han Soyoung’s return to active duty.

Even though she emphasized the part that she just needs to return to active duty several times, it would be an idiot if she didn’t understand.

In that sense, the person in charge from the imperial family was an idiot. Because of this, while Siwoo was carrying out her duties by going to and from Han So-yeong’s mansion, Helena was thinking about the plan based on it and the price she could get from it.

But what is this?

To make threats against oneself rather than the imperial family.

The responsibility was deferred to the imperial family and the person in charge through the mission request, etc., But if Siu and Soyeong dragged themselves in, they could never avoid the responsibility. It was something that the two men and women in front of me had to help.

‘I thought it was clear…’

How much did she help herself?

She even extorted various benefits from the imperial family, but her regret and resentment rose to her throat. As I was barely suppressing it and clearing my stomach, I heard a shocking first condition.

“The first condition is engagement.”

“… Huh? Engagement, huh?”

“Yes. Engaged.”

“…”

Helena doubted her own ears.

‘Engagement?’

Who the hell do you want to be engaged to? If you want to get engaged to an imperial person, you have to tell the imperial family.

“…”

She tried to escape reality, but her cool and intelligent brain rejected it.

It felt like being slapped on the cheek by her soul, saying that the reason that had just returned would come to its senses.

“Ji, now with me… Hey, don’t get engaged, are you saying?…Siwoo-nim? With me?”

She stuttered three times, mentioned an important person twice, and asked Helena back, and Siu and Soyeong smiled slyly and calmly. There was no hint of negativity in their laughter.

“…Under.”

A laugh of hers escaped from her princess’s mouth.

She vaguely assumed that she could enlist Siu and have her on her side.

However, it seemed that this man was not a sharp dagger, but a beast that could not be tamed.

Perhaps the crush I felt for him was clouding my vision.

“Engagement. Engagement…”

Helena, who was chewing on words she hadn’t even thought of, watched Siu with her sharp eyes.

“What do you want?”

“Didn’t you just say you were engaged?”

“Other than that. The true intention contained in it. Candidate Siwoo Han… Do you want an empire?”

She asked coldly, letting her cold air flow.

Even the title was returned to the original candidate Han Si-woo.

The imperial family of the Glazer Empire has strong male-centered values, if not to the extent of the Hiphemus Kingdom in the western part of the continent. It is caused by the tradition and laws handed down from the first emperor, and it is a side effect caused by suturing various incidents that broke out in the middle.

Therefore, the law prohibiting the empress gave birth to various laws. Representative among them was the Xuhuang (壻皇) system, which was similar to the queen system of other countries. It was to make the husband of the princess the emperor of the empire.

From the time Siu said he wanted her engaged, she remembered it.

‘You shouldn’t think of this man as a mediocre candidate. Moreover, Saint Elaine and Han So-young are next to her. It’s not impossible to aim for the West.’

Although there were some doubts, it was a reasonable decision.

Siwoo smiled at Helena’s question.

‘Smile?’

“Princess Helena.”

“Yes, Candidate Siwoo Han.”

“Do you want to be emperor?”

“…Of course.”

I was a bit taken aback by the straightforward question, but she readily agreed. She knows very little about herself, and few people are ignorant of her ambitions.

“I don’t want to be.”

“…Yes?”

“The emperor the princess wants. I will help.”

“…Haha.”

Between the princess’s red lips, a laugh with a different meaning than before flowed out.

It was just what she wanted.

But she couldn’t believe his words. Who knows if he pretends to be uninterested on the outside, induces his guard, and hits him in the back. In the political arena, such things are not uncommon. It’s not a marriage, it’s an engagement, but if you’re a man, you’ll have fewer regrets.

“What does Siwoo-nim get by doing that?”

He thought he was wary of himself, but the change in the title of the princess was a positive sign.

I myself didn’t realize it though.

“Getting it? Whooping. The princess stays.”

“Me, me?”

“Yes. Princess. Princess Helena. I want you. Miss Helena Glaser.”

“…?! Eh, huh, huh?!”

I was so shocked that a strange sound came out of my mouth.

But she had no mind to be ashamed of it.

“That, ah, no, what. Ha…!”

It’s not the first time I’ve heard of such direct courtship, but I was very embarrassed because the atmosphere had just been stale. Wasn’t it Siwoo who didn’t seem interested in himself because there were a lot of women around him?

I can count on one hand the number of times I met him before that. He was dumbfounded, but the look in his eyes was too serious to think he was lying. I don’t think it was sincere love, but I could feel the sticky desire for myself in his eyes.

“…”

“So what do you want to do?”

The hesitant princess opened her mouth.

“…Please give me three answers.”

“Please speak.”

“First of all, you said the first request was an engagement, then the others…”

“These are the demands of the Glazer Imperial Family.”

“As expected. Whoa.”

It seemed that it was planned from the beginning to embarrass himself.

In her savage heart, she glanced at Siu and Soyeong.

“Then second… Engagement is just the beginning, are you thinking of getting married?”

“That’s probably up to the princess’s heart.”

“…Let me ask you one last question.”

Helena swallowed her saliva and controlled her breathing.

“Siwoo-sama…Do you love me?”

“…I don’t know yet.”

“Okay…”

“But I’m sure he wants you.”

“…Whoops. Yes, I like it. That’s enough.”

Helena nodding her head with a satisfied smile.

She liked the current answer much more than blindly saying that she loved her.

She was thinking of turning down the engagement if she said anything like Siwoo loves her or something. Siwoo’s expression and eyes were clearly different from the men who loved her passionately. So even if she said love, she wouldn’t believe it.

That was enough for now.

I don’t know what will happen later, but for now, it was good because we used what each other wanted. She was Helena, who was willing to sacrifice her body for the throne. She thought that if she gave herself to Siu and she could become emperor, she would be cheap.

‘Siwoo’s ability would be of great help.’

In addition to the man named Siwoo Han who will be the hero who will shake the continent in the future, the SS class hero Han Soyoung, the three-star Elaine, Queen Charperia of the Kingdom of Palania, and Siwoo’s future ties will all become her strength.

“Then take good care of me, my daughter-in-law.”

“Oh, yes? Ah… That, yes…”

Helena awkwardly accepted Han So-young’s words.

Come to think of it, he was right.

She said that Siu would become Soyeong’s adopted son, and since she herself would become Siu’s fiancée, she could be regarded as her daughter-in-law. Indeed, the relationship might continue, but for some reason So-yeong seemed to be convinced.

“Then, shall we share our story?”

Siu, who was more satisfied with this work than Helena, brought up the topic.

Everyone smiled a little because no one knew what he was talking about.

It is to rob the imperial family of the strongest empire. And none of the three people here have good feelings for the imperial family. So there was no way I wasn’t feeling well.

“Oh, wait.”

Helena got up from her seat and she opened the door.

“Are you done?”

Her blind escort, who was waiting in front of the door, sensed her presence and turned her head.

“It’s going to take a while. Call me tomorrow morning… No, I’ll be back for lunch.”

“All right.”

Han So-young’s mansion is old-fashioned, so each room is not enchanted, but her living room has several enchantments installed for security.

Because of this, instead of losing her sight, even the escort knight, who had other sensitive senses, could not tell what conversation was going on inside. But she could sense that Helena’s voice was a little excited.

‘Three different kinds of joy… One is when you can blow a peek at the imperial family, and the other is when you step up to her throne. And the last one… Hmm.’

He prided himself on knowing the iron-blooded princess Helena, and in reality, such an escort story was interesting.

Perhaps spring came to the heart of the 23-year-old princess.

Even if the place where the first seed blooms is the land that has not yet melted.

Helena, who told the escort driver her business, closed the door again, and soon the three men and women started a passionate discussion.

The iron-blooded princess took her period for quite a while, but she didn’t really need that much time. She has already prepared something for Siu and Soyoung, and Helena has something in mind as well.

We narrowed down our opinions by deducting commonalities and meticulously selecting those that did not overlap and discussing them in various directions. It wasn’t until midnight after the evening time passed that their story came to an end.

“You worked hard.”

“Siwoo-nim really suffered.”

“Haam, I’m tired after being up late for the first time in a while. Everyone go in and rest.”

“Yes, have a good rest. Han So-young.”

Helena greeted Han So-young, who stretched her body and yawned.

“Mother.”

“Are you asking me to call you…?”

“Whoops. As expected, my daughter-in-law is quick-witted.”

“Haha…”

How many times have I been surprised by them today, no, yesterday.

I just had to get used to it.

“Um, okay. Then, get some rest. …Mother.”

“Huh, yes. My daughter-in-law should get some rest too♡”

“…Yes.”

After greeting her, she hurriedly left the drawing room and headed for her bath with her escort driver.

It wasn’t used often until recently, but because the owner of the mansion likes to take a bath, the bathroom here has even completed the construction of an extension. Thanks to that, she fell in love with Helena.

“It’s been a really tiring day…”

“Is that so? You look happy to me.”

“So you can hold on. It’s not fun, but you’re tired? Ha, just imagining it is horrific.”

In fact, that often happened, so Helena was very satisfied with today.

Wouldn’t it be possible to endure such a difficult life only if there are days like this sometimes? Now that I can feel that I am approaching my goal one step at a time, I feel more empowered. The throne, which had seemed too far away when she first dreamed of her, now seemed a little but visible.

’10 years. 10 years. Inside… I will sit on the highest seat in the empire.’

After her short bath, the princess headed for the bedroom she was shown to for the first time and, as was her habit, moved her feet to So-young’s room.

“This.”

It was a habit he had cultivated since he was in the imperial castle.

To say hello to the highest person of the castle before or after going to bed.

“I should at least say hello for coming all the way here.”

“Yes? Ah, now the master…”

When Helena muttered that, she looked puzzled at the maid who was following her.

“What? Is there any reason not to?”

“That, that’s…”

A maid who hesitates without giving a clear answer.

Feeling something strange about her, the princess picked up her speed and walked quickly to So-yeong’s door.

“Now, wait a minute, princess!”

And she heard Soyoung’s pain in her ears.

“Yeah… Hehe. Ah, ha… Ha…”

“…”

“Princess. This is why…”

“I’m sorry.”

“…Never… Uh, yes?”

She was a maid who was hastily trying to make an excuse, but for some reason Helena’s expression was grim.

“I thought Han So-yeong had put all her sadness away because of her bright expression… But I guess that wasn’t the case.”

“Yes?”

The maids as well as the escort knights looked at the princess with absurd eyes. But Helena sincerely thought that So-Young was wetting her blanket with her tears. The truth is wet with sweat and love juice.

“I’ll go back to my room. Please keep it a secret that Princess Bon came here.”

“Ah… Yes. That, of course…”

As the three left, Siwoo’s voice was heard from inside.

“Haa, damn it. Stop it now… That cock is so hot…”

“Yes, yes. That’s right♡ let’s treat it with my pussy♥”
