Chapter 61

Chapter 61 – Declaration of War

Earl Brynie regained consciousness and after that, we interviewed him with the thieves who collaborated with him .

He seems to have been convinced that Princess Caroline will fall in love with her if he saves her from the thieves who abducted her .

He thinks that this is some sort of an ancient manga .

Well, we’re like in the middle ages so is it the standard type of persuasion?

Because Princess Caroline did not fall for that plan, he tried to add violence due to anger .

This is a diplomatic issue . Even if he is the present head of the Blanc family, he will be punished accordingly .

「Let’s execute Earl Brynie . 」

After taking Brynie to the capital, Lyle-sensei came and told me so .

「There is no way we can tolerate more than this . If we kill Brynie, the noble faction of Silesie Kingdom will make a fuss and the northern Lauren territory would destabilize . However, I judge that keeping him alive is far more risky . 」

「…right . 」Read at SHMTranslations . com

Sensei’s voice, that was always calm, is trembling a little .

Sensei’s disappointment is unusually intense .

「This case was my fault for being unable to read Brynie’s movement . Rather, we should have not kept him alive this far . I underestimated that man . 」

「No, it’s not sensei’s fault . 」

Who would have thought that there is a feudal lord, who even has his own earldom, that will use bandits to attack his ally and abduct a princess of another country?

It is too dangerous, reckless, foolish, and incredibly stupid action . He can no longer be called an idiot but an existence that surpasses an idiot .

Earl Brynie has a negative cheat that spoils all strategy of a tactician .

Even if he’s an ally, his catastrophic effect will affect you . His existence is something that can be called a lump of risk .

Brynie is being carried in a wagon with lookout soldiers . His face is fully swollen .

Until a while ago, I hated myself for crushing and almost killing him using my own hands but I don’t feel that way now .

「Hero-sama, I have reflected enough so please untie this rope . 」

「… . 」Read at SHMTranslations . com

When my intense anger to Brynie cooled down, I can only see him like a frighteningly ugly youkai with his white make up peeled off in some places .

He is saying that seriously . He thinks that we’ll forgive him since he already reflected .

It is like I’m looking at the earl who became a fragile and innocent person .

His audacious spirit, his monster like inexplicable behavior, and how he sticks to the old custom of the country, he may be the most frightening enemy .

—Scene Change—

「Takeru, can I have a moment?」

「What’s up, Lia?」

In the corridor of the castle, I was called by Lia .

「I have nursed Her Highness Princess Caroline . Fortunately, because of A-sama’s protection, the assault ended as an attempt . 」

「Ah, I have to express my deepest thanks to A-sama . 」

I’m sorry for doubting the effect of Sacrament . I didn’t feel that much effect after that so I doubted it .

I have always been benefiting from it but this time, it really helped .

「However, the princess’ knight escort was murdered in front of her when the thieves abducted her to bring her to Brynie . That definitely caused her a lot of mental agony . 」

「That’s right……」Read at SHMTranslations . com

「Of course, because the princess had the protection of A-sama, she got off with only that degree . 」

「Why did you say that twice?」

I can’t complain openly because it seems to be really important .

「No, Takeru’s feeling of appreciation for A-sama is insufficient so I had to emphasize it . 」

「Is that so? I’m sorry for doubting A-sama’s sacrament . 」

She didn’t say anything annoying . Only this time…

「Takeru, if you’re really grateful, “A man should not only talk with his words alone . ” as A-sama says . 」

「Is that also a teaching of A-sama?」

What kind of megami-sama is she?

「Then nanodesu, could you sleep with us in Princess Caroline’s bed?」

「Haa?」Read at SHMTranslations . com

There is no connection with that to what we have been talking about .

Is she joking? Is she serious?

「I’m serious . We have to nurse her together since I’m not enough . 」

「What do you mean?」

The double hooded Lia says something in a small voice .

「Although I’m not that sure, the princess receives a severe shock and if you leave it at is its, it might result in a mild androphobia . 」

「I don’t understand . 」

When I tried to pass a potion, her hands were trembling and she was pretty frightened .

She is a princess with a public position . If she’s afraid of men, it will hinder her official duties .

「Therefore, I want Takeru to sleep in the same room as her . 」

「Why would I do that?」

Rather, since she’s scared, I shouldn’t approach her, right?

「It is inevitable for her rehabilitation . I think that she can relax if she sleeps while holding Takeru’s hand . If you really want her to be cured, you have to cooperate . 」

「I understand . I’ll help in whatever way I can . 」

Though I don’t understand well, Lia is a master healer and she’s a specialist in psychological care .

If she judges it that way, it is not wrong .

「Then let’s go . 」Read at SHMTranslations . com

「Okay, I understand that you’re not acting playful . 」

And do not casually grab other people’s arm and press your breast against it .

However, there is something we need to overcome this time so I will not say anything .

As I was urged by Lia, I went to Princess Caroline’s bedroom .

—Scene Change—

It was quite late at night .

On the night of the Middle Ages, the only thing that can be depended is the weak light of candle lamps .

In a big bed, Princess Caroline in a blue nightgown was sitting .

Princess Silhouette, who’s wearing a silk chemise with beautiful embroidery, is sitting next to the dukedom’s princess .

「Princess, are you still awake…?」

「Eh eh, Hero-sama, thanks to you I have calmed down . 」

「Are you alright?」

「I’m fine, but my escort Knight was…regrettable . 」

One of the escort knights of the princess escaped death . He’s already been treated and has recovered .

The other young knight seems to have resisted till the end was killed by the bandit group .

Upon hearing it, the princess got even more depressed .

Illuminated by the candlelight, her beautiful face is dark . She’s wearing the glasses she dropped when she was attacked but one lens is missing .

「Your glasses are inconvenient so let’s order one from the dukedom . 」

「I’m sorry . 」Read at SHMTranslations . com

Lenses with high transparency and beautiful glass beads are special products of the Transylvania Dukedom .

I know about it because I tried importing lenses when I tried creating a telescope . It was good .

I want to encourage the dukedom’s princess somehow but I can’t find a word .

Lia passed by and said something to the dukedom’s princess .

「Aren’t you afraid of Takeru?」

「Of course not, saintess-sama . 」

「Then, please hold Takeru’s hand . 」

The dukedom’s princess’ fine hand stretched out to my hand but trembles as it approaches .

Phew, Lia sighs .

「The things human beings think with their heads are different from what they feel with their hearts . It can’t be helped with what happened . 」

「Saintess-sama, such a thing…」

With that wound she received, the dukedom’s princess was not able to fully control her body . She seemed to be perplexed .

「For the whole night, please do your best to sleep while holding Takeru’s hand . That can make your body understand that it’s okay so you will likely be relaxed . Takeru is fine with it too . 」

That is certainly true for me .

It is my fault that the dukedom’s princess has become like this .

I held Princess Caroline’s hand .

At that time, the petite Princess Silhouette suddenly come between us .

「Indeed . If the princess comes between you, Caroline will not be scared . 」

「Yes, this is the only part where I can help . 」

Why do I feel like the patient is the princess and not the dukedom’s princess? She’s so close that it looks like I’m embracing her .

This time, I will do almost anything .

「Lia… . 」Read at SHMTranslations . com

「You must not be angry Takeru or else, the dukedom’s princess will be scared without fail . 」

Lia’s undergarment appeared when she took off her thick robe .

She sticks her lump of soft, fluffy meat on my face .

「I don’t think I can resist…」

「Takeru, do you find your position difficult?」

It feels good but at the same time uncomfortable…

「Right now,it feels physically stifling . 」

「Then Takeru, endure it by all means . The dukedom’s princess is also fighting with her body . 」

Why do I feel that what you’re doing has nothing to do with it?

I’m holding the hand of the dukedom’s princess and I’m in a state where I’m somewhat hugging the princess . It’s hard for me to do anything .

Then, I heard a light peculiar sound on my ear . And a heavy vibration on my face .

Lia is removing her bra!

「Don’t make a noise, her highness will be scared . 」

「Gou… . 」Read at SHMTranslations . com

No matter how I think, it’s impossible to sleep in this state .

I also thought of shouting and running away but…

The slightly cold hand of the dukedom’s princess made me calm .

This is inevitable . I immediately thought that this is some sort of punishment . I won’t be able to sleep so I’ll be on vigil tonight .

That time, I hardened my decision .

「I’m thinking why master hasn’t come yet, what are you doing?」

Sharon, together with Suzanne and Claudia, they might have come looking for me because I did not come to bed .

Behind them is Oracle-chan equipped with a big pillow .

「Sharon-san, Takeru is giving Princess Caroline a palliative care in order to cure her androphobia . She has to certainly receive it tonight so leave him be . 」

「Stelliana-san, what are you doing with master with your bare breast!」

Yes, that’s right, Lia is the one at fault .

Though it is thought that it is absolutely impossible because of her everyday speech and behavior, Lia, who is also respected as a saintess, exerts overwhelming persuasive power in most cases .

However, Sharon is the chairman of a company and is somewhat sly, she won’t be swept away by that atmosphere easily .

「This is also part of the palliative care for her highness princess, by all means…」

「That’s a lie . Anyway, if master is sleeping here, we’ll also stay here as escorts!」

Whoa, you’re not going to stop her?

Sharon and the others seem to be carrying a big bed . They’re planning to sleep by my side?

「Princess Caroline, is it alright?」

「Hero-sama, I can be more relieved if there are a lot of people . 」

The room is completely filled with beds but because the dukedom’s princess is fine with it, I guess it’s okay .

Since the situation can’t deteriorate any further, I don’t care anymore .

Thinking that way was a big mistake .

Furthermore, Oracle climbs up my body while saying “heave ho” .

I want you to stop… . I can’t be angry so please get off .

I won’t be able to sleep while being stuffed like playing oshikura manju .

TN: Oshikura Manju is a children’s game . The players gather in a circle as close to each other as possible . I think that that is all the detail you need but if you want to know more, here is the wikipedia link

「Stelliana-san, I’d like you to stop pressing your chest on master’s face . 」

That’s right, tell her Sharon!

「Sharon-san, let’s do it this way by all means . Let’s have a two-shift system . 」

「…It can’t be helped since it’s for the palliative care . 」

Sharon!Read at SHMTranslations . com

I could hardly sleep that night .

Afterwards, I apologized many times saying “I’m very sorry . ” to Princess Caroline who doesn’t seem to mind it for some reason .

However, if she didn’t get better soon, I’ll die of anxiety .

—Scene Change—

After some time, when Princess Caroline’s androphobia eased .

There was a report that threatens my sleep again .

In the execution ground of the kingdom’s capital, after the verdict was read aloud . It says that the body of Earl Brynie was taken by someone when his neck was about to be cut .

There is only one person who can use the magic “instantaneous movement” to steal someone from the execution place that was strictly guarded .

It is the work of the advanced magician, Jenny Walpurgis of Germania Empire .

The empire intends to create a succession war to the kingdom while using Earl Brynie, who inherited the blood of the founding king Renz, as a puppet .

The evil hand of the Empire which disturbs peace is slowly approaching here .
