Chapter 362 – 29. United Republic – Nation of Heterogeneous Races (5)
“Is it a country of heterogeneous people?”
Warlock Vilma wandered aimlessly through the darkened streets.
He didn’t really want to go anywhere.
He was just touring the capital of the country he had come to for the first time.
When she was living as the first princess, it was a place she hadn’t seen before.
The Dezac Empire and the United Republic did not get along very well, and the United Republic itself originally had a bad relationship with other countries. It only calmed down for a while because of the war with the demons, but there are many old grudges between humans and other races.
‘Everyone is staring at me.’
Perhaps that’s why it was no joke to draw attention.
Perhaps the other party members who are looking around the capital from different places are also having similar experiences.
‘Mmm. Didn’t I have to go out with the other kids?’
Vilma felt the pressure when it seemed that she was getting more attention than she thought.
It’s not that she did n’t like her gaze from the beginning, but thanks to her younger brother’s talent her, her interest her cooled down and as a result of various shocks, she changed like this. In fact, even if it wasn’t for her, anyone who glanced at her passing by her would be offended.
‘I wanted to see more if possible, but should I go back now….’
She has a reason for refusing her friends’ advice and wandering around alone.
It was because she wanted to see the faces of the citizens.
The capital of the United Republic is a place where various races gather and live together.
If so, I wondered how they would live. Because of the different characteristics of each race as well as culture, they will have to collide, but how can they live in harmony with other races?
Humans, even among the same human beings, are constantly conflicted and confused, so what is the difference?
Vilma, who had recently developed a particular interest in politics and royal studies, was interested in these things.
“Wow!”
“What’s wrong?!”
Vilma was started by a sudden loud voice from behind and screamed.
“Ahaha. Are you surprised?”
“Ah, it must have been Sasha… Surprise…”
The culprit was Sasha, a genius mercenary girl with red hair.
“Hee hee. Vilma’s screams are interesting!”
“Ugh, don’t make fun of me.”
“I’m sorry. But what are you doing here?”
Unable to honestly answer Sasha’s question, Vilma evaded it.
“I was just… Looking around. It’s my first time in a place like this.”
“Ah, really. It’s amazing that humans are in a place where there are no shadows.”
“Yeah. I’m going back now, Sasha, you?”
“I was on my way back too. The gaze was too burdensome.”
“Ahaha. That’s right. Me too.”
The two of them chatted lightly and headed for the inn. Since there were two human women, their eyes were still focused on them, but since they were walking and talking, they paid less attention. It was probably thanks to the focus on chatting.
At the moment when Vilma thought it was fortunate to meet Sasha, Sasha smiled and said, taking advantage of the gap in her absence.
“Vilma, you said you were the princess?”
“…Uh?”
Vilma’s expression her, which had been smiling a little, hardened.
“Uh, how…”
“Ah, sorry. I spoke too hastily. Valdez… No, I heard from Dad.”
“Dad? … Huh? Wait, uh, you know that?”
Vilma is confused.
Up until now, she had only assumed that Sasha had been taken over by Valdes, just like Yuri and Fiora. Yes, she knows that Sasha is the daughter of Valdes, to be precise, the warrior Pedro. But she didn’t think Sasha would know her.
“Hehe. I guess I didn’t know.”
“…?”
“It’s been a while since I’ve known you. Since it was from the Kingdom of Ventorino, let’s see…”
“Uh, then, from when those, two, two started…?”
“Yes!”
“…”
Seeing Sasha’s cheerful reply, Vilma couldn’t help but feel embarrassed.
Regardless of knowing the truth or not, the fact that Valdes and Sasha are in a relationship does not change. But it was clear that the feeling of giving was different. No matter how physically she can’t be called a real father, isn’t it a truth that cannot be denied mentally?
It was surprising that Valdez accepted her after much trouble, but it was also surprising that Sasha loved Valdez and even had an affair with her even after knowing the truth about her. And it made sense why Valdez wouldn’t tell her.
‘Still, it’s a bit disappointing.’
“Then… You understand everything?”
“Yeah. My father is a demon prince, his past his, and many other things. I know everything.”
“Are you okay though?”
“Well… I don’t know if it was before I fell in love… Hehe.”
Sasha smiling single single.
She was a girl who was in love without fail as she spoke with a reddened face, perhaps a little embarrassed.
It’s a relationship that can’t be expressed in a positive way, but Sasha looked happy and was actually very happy. After the death of her mother, the only family she lived with her in her countryside, she felt like she had regained the meaning of her life that had been lost.
“I see…”
“How is Vilma?”
“Uh?”
“My dad. He likes you.”
“Huh?! It’s… That’s right…”
Vilma’s face was redder than Sasha’s from before.
As she listened to her unexpected story one after another, her mind and body were rapidly exhausted, and she was even breaking out in a cold sweat. But she clung tenaciously to her Vilma as if she couldn’t look after Sasha.
“So how is it?”
“Uh, huh?”
“Ah, I’m so embarrassed~. Until I found out, only Vilma shared a secret with my dad.”
“Yeah, but…”
Vilma lowered her head, unable to lift it. From that appearance, Vilma made an expression of pity for Sasha, realizing that she was still far away. She could have made a perfect harem party if she brought Arsha to Vilma, but she was really sorry.
‘If I don’t act aggressively, it will take a long time.’
She had known Valdez for less than a year now, but Sasha knew him very well.
As if the strength of her bloodline was really great, she had a lot of similarities with Valdez. Except for her appearance, her personality and inner side of her more closely resembled her mother’s side of her, but there were also not a few parts that resembled her and her warrior, her Pedro.
Thanks to that, I was able to quickly grasp Valdes’ personality and preferences of his.
‘It must be aiming for the best time. He’ll probably try to get Vilma unnie from the Empire. I have to pass two more countries to reach the empire….’
Of course, that would be more dramatic, but it was unfortunate and incomprehensible to Sasha, who she valued the immediate rather than the future.
“Well, it’s not like I’m not doing anything…!”
Vilma hurriedly protested at Sasha’s blatant regret her.
“Oh, really?”
“I kissed… I did, I did.”
“Wow.”
Sasha’s expression of her, which harbored her expectations and curiosity of her, cooled down. Her soulless reply made her Vilma shrink. That’s what she confessed to Sasha, who ran up to her bed her the same day, and her kissing her wasn’t enough.
“… Cheer up, Vilma.”
“I think that makes me more shabby…”
“Ah, we have arrived!”
Feeling apologetic for some reason, Sasha hurriedly turned her words around.
Just as she did, she really arrived in front of the inn, so her excuse her was perfectly appropriate.
And she could see a welcome face in front of her.
“Oh… Valdes!”
“Ah, both of you are here.”
It was Valdes who returned from the dragon’s mansion.
Although it had only been a few hours, Sasha welcomed him with a bright smile. Ignoring the gazes around me, I ran up to him and hugged him. It was a look that would be considered a special relationship even to someone who didn’t know anything.
“Uh, surprise me. What’s wrong?”
“That’s because I’m worried!”
“Yes?”
When Valdes asked what he was talking about, Sasha answered in an angry voice.
“If you leave with an appointment at that timing, it’s obvious who you have dinner plans with.”
“Haha. That’s right.”
He left without properly revealing who he had an appointment with, but among the other party members, Kang Jin-hyeok was the only one who did not recognize who the other party was. Considering Valdez’ expression and timing, it was obvious, as Sasha said.
“It’s an appointment with a dragon who has a bad personality, how can I not be worried. Besides…”
She hesitated to stop talking about her.
He easily recognized that it was because of Elenior.
She knew long ago that Sasha was jealous of her, and it was even stranger if she wasn’t insecure.
“Ummm. I’m sorry to say this, but it’s probably similar to what you were worried about.”
“Uh?”
“Yes?”
At those words, Sasha, who was hugging him, as well as Vilma, who was standing behind her, were taken aback.
“It’s not the bad side, it’s the good side… But I wonder if I’m only sorry for Sasha?”
“…”
Sasha put on a dazed expression, then she slowly puffed out her cheeks. You will have a heartache.
It was because she knew right away what it felt like to be sorry only for herself. However, as she could not be angry with him for something like this, her sadness and sorrow were naturally expressed through her whole body. But Valdez wasn’t worried.
“Shall we spend the night alone?”
“Yes!”
The emotions that came up quickly dissipated in an instant.
“I still have some time… Vilma.”
“Ah, yes… Yes.”
Valdes laughed at the unexpected respect.
“What’s wrong all of a sudden? Speak comfortably.”
“Ahaha…”
“Would you like to go to your room to do something or stop by my room?”
“Uh, yes. Ah no, yes.”
Realizing that something had happened, though he did n’t know exactly what it was, Valdez playfully approached her and took her hand her. On the way back, Vilma, who had become more aware of Sasha’s conversation, shuddered.
“I really don’t know how the life of the princess was. Let’s go.”
“…Yes.”
“I want to join hands too!”
“Yes, yes.”
Valdez took the two beautiful women by the hand and headed for his room. It was a bonus to let the men who were watching them laugh at them with a sense of superiority.
Even though they are human, the fact that they are objectively beautiful doesn’t change. Receiving the envy and envy of the passing children, Valdes joyfully climbed the stairs.
“What did you eat?”
“Ah, we went to the restaurant that Director Ha told us about. There we had pasta and steak…”
