Chapter 214 – Monmus Family: Elf Princess Trouble (4)
“Okay, so. We’ve talked this far, anyone have any questions?”
In the drawing room on the first floor of the estate, the shadows of five people were swaying. Soya’s special sound-proofing magic and even the door defense through barriers were perfectly designed, so people from the outside couldn’t tell that they were talking inside the room. At least, those who are sitting huddled together relying on candles, fearing that even the light will leak out, are Eve, the manor manager of the mansion, and Sieri, the second wife. They were the sorceress Sonia Yaivan, Eve’s mother Selu, and the lord, Aira.
They were trembling as if they were getting goosebumps from the elfs’ terrifying plan explained by Eve. Eve looked around, but no one could easily ask a question. It must be because the story I heard a while ago was shocking. Soya said.
“It is scary. I’ve used the slave contract spell a few times, but I’ve never heard of Meigar’s oath. If it’s Meigar, you’re probably referring to Epsilon Meigar, but usually artifacts are named after their creators, so if it’s true that Epsilon Meigar was made… Mimir is that… You said she wasn’t a sanctuary, but some gigantic being sleeping in the sanctuary, right?”
Eve nodded her head.
“To be able to force a spell on such an existence is a truly amazing artifact. Using something like that to simply get a promise is the same as believing thieves who say they won’t steal anything if you open the door.”
“I think so too. How do you deal with these bitches?”
“For now, it would be good to be careful not to let our lord get caught in Meigar’s oath. And then… I do not know. Trying to reverse Meigar’s oath is too risky. We don’t know the conditions for canceling that oath, and we don’t know the exact trigger conditions.”
“I heard you can just put it in a glass and drink it?”
“That’s something that only Princess Erina was told, but if it were me, I wouldn’t tell the princess in detail. Even if there are hidden trigger conditions, they won’t tell you. Oh that… I’m not ignoring Princess Erina.”
Soya hurriedly added a story that would damage Princess Erina’s reputation her. Eve laughed at Soya’s reaction to her. Said Selu.
“Wouldn’t Lucius take care of it? You are smart.”
Everyone nodded at Sellu’s words. Aira, who had already suffered severely from Lucius, reacted the most violently. She still complained of extreme anxiety and panic attacks when she set foot outside her mansion in her. Eve said scratching her head.
“No, that… What should I say? If I go this time, I thought there would be a big accident, so I wanted to prevent it on my own line. Is there any way Like blocking Meigar’s oath with some sort of precaution, and then pretending to be moderately caught and returning.”
“Hehe, if our wizard is as good as that Epsilon Mei, would it be possible?”
Sellu looked at Soya and said. Soya was taken aback by the words, her face blushing. Then she shook her head and added.
“Epsilon Meigar is a great wizard who remains in the history of the Mage Tower. She once made a remarkable contribution to closing the door to the underworld with the wizard Omelas Ash. As for me, I am not even close to her toes her.”
When Eve came up with her name, which she did not know, she grumbled. She had too much culture to know to be the perfect lord’s wife.
“Who else is Omelas Ash? Rather than that, were you originally connected to the demon world? It’s fucking awful.”
“It’s okay. Mr. Eve. I don’t even know!”
Eve was encouraged by Ira. Soya said with her wry smile.
“Only mages who have studied history at the Mage Tower know this, but usually they don’t know. Because after the disappearance of Omelas Ash, Epsilon Meigar took all the credit for closing the gates of the underworld. Anyway, I can’t touch [Meigar’s Oath]. A normal enslavement spell can dispel it, though.”
“Fuck, then there’s no need to mention Omelas Ash.”
Eve said. She didn’t like to keep popping up on topics she didn’t know. Soya said sullenly at Eve’s passionate reaction to her.
“I’m sorry. It’s been a while since we talked about a topic I know…”
“Then, are you saying that I have to leave it in the hands of the lord after all?”
Siri said with a worried expression. All of the questions she had next to Eve showed a hint of uneasiness. Eve said cautiously.
“… I think it’s going to suck.”
Everyone nodded at Eve’s words her. It didn’t seem like Ahildern would perish or a major event would happen. However, I was strongly convinced that some ignorant situation that surpassed their common sense would appear. Said Selu.
“You say you reap what you sow?”
“If you insist, isn’t it our groom who sowed the seeds?”
At Eve’s point, Sellu said.
“Hehe, but trying to trick you into a slave like this is crossing the line, right?”
“That too. Oh fuck Wait, on second thought, I’m a little pissed off.”
Eve pondered the words and nodded her head. Sieri said to Eve.
“Anyway, Mr. Eve. Find a little coolness. This time, that… If something too big happens, you might not be able to handle it anymore.”
“I’m afraid of that too, so I can’t tell you to do it the way it is now. So… He, what should I do? Okay. Scared. I’m so fucking scared.”
At Eve’s words, Aira and Soya widened their eyes in surprise. Seludo repeated Eve’s words, “I’m scared,” Like a parrot.
“Scared? Are you scared?”
Eve thought Sellu was making fun of her, so she said with a frown.
“Okay. I’m so scared mom. What should I do? Back when I was killing people with their dicks on the beach, I just felt like it didn’t matter when my life was over? But mom I remember? The first time the groom left me as a proxy for the estate and left. I just killed the grand duke’s son.”
“It did.”
The candle flickered, casting a shadow on Sellu’s face her. Her expression was hard to see because of that. The cozy lighting created a sad atmosphere, and the room was quiet enough to hear the footsteps of patrolling guards clearly. Eve’s voice pierced the silence and resonated clearly.
“At that time, I felt that way. Is Lucius humiliated because of me? Is Sieri suffering because of me? That… I was scared. She had never thought of it that way in her life. Mom knows. Even when I was on Mermaid Island, I acted like a dick.”
“It did. I always did my own thing and fought with the other mermaids all the time.”
Sellu replied. Sellu’s voice sank even lower than Eve’s. She could feel all the low tone, as if she were being swept away by the cold deep current. Eve said.
“Mom?”
“No. Ok keep going It’s been a long time since I heard old stories, so it’s good. Hehe.”
Eve grinned at Seluga, and she started talking again.
“But there you are. I also think our groom is very good. That’s why it’s scary when the groom is in too great danger. I don’t think I could live anywhere else if not here. Who do you think will accept me? Who will tell me that they love me again, that my legs are pretty? I’m so scared It’s so scary that the entire elven kingdom’s malice is directed against my groom. And.”
Eve watched the candle go out. She took out a new candle she had placed on her floor and lit it. A bright light flared up again, and she illuminated the surroundings. Eve saw Sellu grinning. Eve smiled at Sellu and said.
“I am afraid that this life will be ruined.”
“… I was impressed.”
Aira clung to her, her tears welling up. Eve really liked Aira’s kind side of her. Sieri held Eve’s hand tightly without saying a word. Eve really liked Sieri’s kind side of her. I leaned back, but there was no one on the other side of my back. But she knew that if Elsie had been there, she would definitely have pressed her own shoulder right here.
Seluga came up next to Eve and she climbed onto her lap her. Eve loved Sellu, who was mean to her and who supported and supported her. Looking out of her window, it was late at night. Eve saw Lucius’s face in his in the constellations in the night sky.
Eve affirmed everything about herself, and she really liked Lucius who loved her. And everything in this mansion was really good.
“Haha…Haha…”
Looking ahead, Soya smiled awkwardly. She missed her timing to intervene and leaned back in her chair, unable to do anything about it. Eve said, extending her arm to Soya.
“You and you too.”
“Ah yes…”
That’s how Eve came to Soya next to her. Seluga leaned her body against Eve, she said.
“Eve. How much do you like me?”
“I like you the most in the world.”
“More than Lucius?”
Eve looked out of her window. When Sellu brought up the story of Lucius, he missed him. Eve said, squeezing the head of her cellu.
“Then, I like you next to Lucius.”
“Hehe.”
“Why are you laughing? My mom is number 2.”
“Second place is fine. I love you because I am number one.”
“Don’t say anything strange. Yes?”
Eve grabbed her cellu’s hair and twisted her around. Aira and Sieri slipped away so that the two of them could be together. Soya belatedly brushed her butt and got up and followed them. Eve wanted to talk about her old days her with Sellu for the first time in a long time. There was no reason. Eve said, stroking her Selou’s head her.
“Mom. If my husband is a bit more successful and defeats Evangeline, should we move to another place?”
“Where?”
“A place with a view of the sea. Even if the lord and the head priest of the Daecheonsingyo all quit. If the groom is a hero who defeated Evangeline, then he can make a living. So. Shall we move? Sieri, the children, Elsie, and Soya are all taken to the beach. Then, the mother swims on the beach like her mother, and I am looking at it with the groom.”
“The picture is strange. I am like a pet.”
“Then let’s go swimming together. If mom splashes water on me and the groom, we’ll jump in and spray water on mom. Then the other kids come and play one by one, and by the time the sun goes down everyone is exhausted and asleep in the yard.”
“It will be fun. I really hope so.”
Midnight. Only the stars twinkled. Eve closed her mouth and watched the second hand move. Selou closed her eyes in a good mood and leaned against her Eve’s chest. Eve suddenly asked a question.
“Mom. How much do you like me?”
“I like you the most in the world.”
Eve laughed. In the distance at that time, Lucius was coming from the eastern plains.
