Chapter 312: Queen (1)

The dresses worn by the women are full of lace and lavish use of gold and silver thread. The corsets cinch the waist and round out the hips and the whole body is adorned with skillful decorations and precious metals as accessories. For the average person, this dress would be enough to feed a family for a year. What amazes is that despite all these appearances, there is nothing disgusting about them. This is because these women have class. Because of their elegance, they do not give the impression that their expensive clothes are out of place, but on the contrary, they give the impression to the people around them that it is natural. The women also had one thing in common. They were either beautiful women or beautiful girls and all of them were beautiful. They hide their mouths with fans, but even so, they exude a mysterious sexiness that cannot be hidden. Their every gesture attracted the attention of the opposite sex, so much so that the royal guards protecting the royal family almost forgot their duties because of their sex appeals.


"Over there is the queen and all her daughters"


Whispering in Yuu's ear, Adeline casually regains Inpika and the ohters and she screams 「Muhohoo」, a voice that is not like a lady.


"Queen?"


In the center of the circle of women, there was a woman with golden hair that was braided into dozens of small pieces and bound in the back and she was wearing something――no, her beauty was more than a head or two above the rest. This woman was probably the queen. As proof of this, a tiara with jewels scattered over her head shone in the sunlight. However, Yuu was more concerned about that――


"Eh? That fat guy, he's married!?"


When surprised by the uncharacteristic expression of Yuu, Adeline laughs elegantly.


"Yeah, yeah. Adeline understands Satou-sama's feelings well. It is understandable that you are surprised, but His Majesty is married. The queen over there is from the Devonria Duke family, one of the three Dukedoms and the people around her are daughters of families with titles higher than count.


「I see」, Yuu muttered inwardly. When Morbel Kingdom´s Daddan first met Yuu, he was still the third prince. He thought that the three dukes must have supported the first three princes respectively. As a result, Yuu believes that the queen was chosen by the Devonria Duke, who had successfully supported Daddan and won the power struggle. The ladies around the queen were probably nobles of the Devonrian dukes' faction or perhaps her concubines.


"No, they're not"


Adeline whispered, as if she could see through Yuu's mind.


"Satou-sama is kind. You don't know how ugly the royal palace where evil spirits of rivers and mountains exist is"


Implicitly, Yuu seems to be sweet.


"The three duke families send their own people to all the people who have the right to inherit the throne. The only one who has been sent to His Majesty Daddam is the duchess of Devonria"


Adeline's glasses shifted as she spoke while rubbing her cheek against Inpika.


"It's the queen. She didn't allow another family to do anything. It may not seem like much when you put it into words, but this is unbelievable. Even though the queen is from the Devonria Duke family, she can still suppress the other two duke families and the nobles of her own faction......"


"Why would she does such a thing?"


"Because she loves His Majesty"


Yuu thinks it's a joke, but Adeline's face is very serious.


"I understand what you are saying, Satou-sama. Do you want to know how such a queen came to the Nameless Kingdom?"


Adeline brings her face closer to Yuu's ear again, leaking a vulgar laughter 「Guhuhuu」――


"The Queen is suspicious of His Majesty having an affair"


――She whispered.


"An affair? Who is with Dadaan?"


"That's why~. Nuhuhuu. His Majesty and Satou-sama"


"I'm a man"


What is she talking about, Yuu sees Adeline. It is not uncommon for so-called powers, such as royalty and aristocrats, to seek love from homosexuals and boys. Impossible......Adeline thinks it's impossible for Yuu to understand it.


"Adeline, what have you been whispering about since just now?"


The queen utters a voice, perhaps because she was impatient. She had a beautiful voice that matched her beauty. At the same time, she is born to be the ruler of people――she is born as an aristocrat.


"Who exactly do you serve?"


"Of course. His Majesty Dadaan"


You are the only one who speaks to me like that"


"I'm flattered by the compliment"


"When have I ever complimented you?"


"I beg your pardon. I'm sorry, but I'm from a lowly background, so please forgive me"


The queen's eyes narrowed slightly, but there was not the slightest sign that she was upset. In contrast, Adeline kept her smiling expression. It's not the same as the tension or the pressure that burns your skin when two warriors meet. Yes, there was a more sticky pressure between them. However, this tense confrontation was ruined by Inpika and the children that Adeline was holding on both sides. They don't seem to understand what's going on and they poke Adeline's cheeks with their fingers, cackling with delight.


"Fine. Now is not the time to be bothering with you"


The queen stepped forward and without saying a word, the guards opened the way.


"King Nameless, it's nice to meet you――――"


"You don't have to say hello. I don't know what you're doing here, and I'm not interested, but just go home"


The ladies behind the queen can be heard saying accusingly, 「Oh!」. The queen didn't seem particularly bothered by Yuu's rude attitude of interrupting in the middle of her greeting. She extended her right hand toward Yuu and raised it to her face, where she found a silver medallion between her thumb and middle finger.


"I heard that if you possess this, you can have a business meeting with the Nameless King"


"That fatty......I told him not to lend that"


"Your Majesty is not fat. He´s just a little chubbier than most people"


"Eh? Chubby......? That's it!"


Once again, Yuu is startled by the simple expression on her face. He was so obese that he could be mistaken for an orc and Yuu wondered what had happened to the queen's eyes when she described him as slightly chubby. The queen was not joking, however and her cheeks had a hint of vermilion, though her mouth was hidden by a fan.


"But in the past few months, he has been busy dealing with political affairs and because of that, he has lost several hundred grams on some days. Ah......Your Majesty, you're such a dilettante"


Even a normal person's weight changes by one to two kilograms after waking up and after eating. Yuu looks at the queen and the ladies, saying that if it is as obese as Daddan, it would be an error of several hundred grams, but the women do not want to say anything about it and they look at it all at once. Divert.


"And yet, your Majesty. I don't want to say anything about it. It's no wonder I'm suspicious of you. If it were within the Marbel Kingdom, I would be able to keep an eye on you, but this is a foreign country that I have no control over. There may be people who will tell His Majesty inappropriate things. As His Majesty's wife, there would be no problem if I were to confirm it in person. Besides, I've heard that King Nameless deals in rare goods that you can't find anywhere else. That's why I waited until after his business meeting with the merchant to ask――who are you?


"I'm Odono-sama´s bodyguard!"


As if to protect Yuu, Namari crossed her arms in front of the queen and stuck out her chest. However, from the perspective of the ladies, Namari's strong appearance seemed to be very adorable and they turned their adorable gaze, saying, 「It's cute」 and 「Huhu. Is it a knight?」Namari was embarrassed by the ladies' favorable gazes. Therefore Namari hid behind Yuu and only showed her face, saying 「Oh, I'm strong!!」.


"What's wrong"


Yuu's whole body emitted killing intent. It was not directed at the queen and the ladies. However at the King guards behind them. One of the guards ridiculed Namari. It was a helmet that covered not only the head but also the face, but Yuu did not miss the laughing. Yuu walks to the front of the guard as it is.


"I'm sure you're not the only one who has a problem with this. If I wanted to, I could use your body to show you how many hundreds of times I could have killed you all"


Under Yuu's murderous intent, the guard man gets soaked in his innerwear under his armor as if he was covered in water by the sweat that spewed out. Following Yuu's murder intent, Yuu thought the queen and the ladies would be frightened and return, so he turned to the queen.


(Damn. They aren't scared at all)


The queen looked at the exchange between Yuu and her bodyguards as if they were something else, not scared. Adeline, for example, did not lose her smile, but she was mumbling, 「I can't allow you to make fun of Namari」.


"Hey, your Imperial Guards did a bad job"


"King Nameless, I don't need you to tell me that. The place of business talks between the Morbel Kingdom and the Nameless Kingdom is left to Adeline? Then Adeline should take responsibility here for the bad behavior of the Imperial Guards"


"My queen. I have a very close friendship with the Nameless Kingdom. I'll explain to you how much, I and my civil servants have never been in any danger even without the tactless people like soldiers. But this time, the queen and the others insisted on it and even though I objected, some foolish people requested the Kingsguard to protect you"


"I didn't ask for it"


The queen and Adeline were glaring at each other again, with Yuu in the background.


"Enough"


"Oh? Can I take it then that you will sell me the goods?"


"Yes. You can buy it and go home. We don't have any products for you here, so we'll be moving to the dish tree over there"


Despite Yuu's rude attitude, the queen didn't even show any signs of leaving.


"Could you please refrain from joining us, gentlemen?"


The queen looked coldly at Mago, Viktor and the other merchants who were trying to sit with her as if it was natural. One of the ladies whispered in the queen's ear, 「This man is Victor the Thirsty, the right-hand man of Benjamin Gochester, one of Hameln´s Eight Coins」. The queen's brow wrinkles momentarily at the words.


"Nuhahaa. I don't seem to need to introduce myself"


"What are you going to do?"


"They're worried that their share will be reduced. They're the ones with small ass holes"


The ladies were deliberately surprised by Yuu's vulgar language.


"I'll say that again. I don't know about other people, but I'm Victor is worried about it. Where......I wonder if Satou-sama will be incorporated into the royal family. Of course, I won't interfere with you, Satou-sama. However, we would like to be present at the transaction. We have received the silver medal from Satou-sama through proper procedures, so I think it's okay to do so, right?"


It was a statement that implicitly blamed the queen. Before Yuu could say anything to Viktor――


"It's fine. We have no intention to argue with you here. As long as you do not interfere, we will allow you to be present"


――It was truly a royal statement from the top.


"Adeline, I don't need your escort or bodyguards"


"Understood"


Adeline, who had no intention of following, puts her tongue out in her heart.


"You look like a fool"


The queen's line of sight was Adeline's clothes. Adeline is the chief maid and she makes her clothes with a higher quality fabric than ordinary maids, but the maid clothes were covered with hair by beastmen children such as Inpika.


"Don't you think you can use your talent for the good of the Morbel Kingdom?"


"With all due respect, this act, which the queen despises, is the most important work that can be done for the benefit of the Morbel Kingdom and, by extension, His Majesty"


"Nonsense"


The queen looked at Adeline with contempt, not only for her family background, but also for her refusal to make use of her blessed talent. But she doesn't seem to care about the queen at all and she's happy to hug Inpika. Adeline rushes to Yuu as it is.


"I'm afraid I can't be present, Satou-sama. The queen is quite a troublesome person, but the young ladies around her are not as cute as the young ladies with deep windows who stand up to men. They´re young ladies who are highly respected as talented young ladies in the Marbel Kingdom. Please do not allow yourself to be distracted"


As Inpika and the children looked up at Adeline, they asked, 「What's the secret?」, 「Is it a secret」.


"Yes~. It's a secret story! Now, let's go over there and play with older sister. Ohohoo. What a fun place to work~"


As Adeline skipped away, hand in hand with Inpika and the other children, Yuu muttered to himself, 「Where is the most important job?」.
