I Don’t Want To Be a Porter in the NTR Novel - Chapter 51



51 – Dance with the Champion (1)

Arriving in the capital, we were escorted by a court maid and unpacked our luggage in the annex of the palace.

I’ve been staying in the commercial city of Lolene, and I’ve been surprised by its scale,

It is so magnificent that it cannot even be compared with it.

For example, even if you steal just one tableware from this private room, it seems that you can play and eat for a year.

Is it okay to put a poor person like me in a place like this for the second time in my life?

Being alone in a big room like this makes me feel a little lonely.

“Did you get it?”

… Besides me, there’s also Pelicana.

Seeing that I was with him, the court maid brought me a magic cage with constant temperature and moisture control.

It seems that some of the guests bring birds with them.

I’ve never raised them in cages, but they seem quite comfortable to see them naturally going in there and playing.

For humans, does it feel like a studio with air conditioning?

In addition, colorful fruit pellets and water are filled in the feeder, and it seems that they are dipping and eating whenever they are bored.

Pelicana has a picky appetite, but the food prepared by the imperial family seems to be to her liking.

Anyway, it’s luxurious for both Pelicana and me.

It’s such a pity that I’m only staying here for one day.

… This isn’t the time to be looking at Pelicana.

“… Have a good rest here.”

“Did you get it?”

I don’t know if he understands

I can’t take a guy who walks all the way to the emperor.

I closed the cage door.

Well, before you even try to put it in, if you see them playing in it, they’ll be able to play for about half a day, right?

“Pun!”

Leaving behind the pink-feathered Pelicana crying and shaking her neck up and down, I left the annex.

***

… Is this a robe?

It’s obvious, but it’s clothes I’ve never worn in my life.

A heavy chest ornament made of golden epaulettes and golden tassels was attached to the pure white uniform,

To the modern sense, the decorations are excessive enough to feel like cosplay clothes.

The process of putting it on was not that simple, so a maid had to come and help.

The head was also swept upwards and fixed. I feel like I look more tidy than usual.

Is it necessary to have this level of formality when meeting the world’s greatest power, the emperor of the empire?

In the meantime, the royal family had only seen the princess’s informal appearance,

The time to prepare and wait in earnest like this becomes even more burdensome.

The girls seem to take longer to prepare than I do, so I am now alone in the waiting room waiting before entering the hall.

According to what the ladies-in-waiting and maids were talking about, today’s banquet was to comfort the hero, and at the same time, the ladies of high-ranking nobles would attend in small groups.

If you read the atmosphere after reading a lot of fantasy novels,

While the high-ranking people are observing whether the hero is a promising player or not…

If the number of warriors is good, it seems to be a place to make a relationship in advance.

It’s hard to say that we’re ‘comforting’ the hero, because we haven’t raised any special numbers yet.

It’s not like he went over to the demon realm and slaughtered the demons.

In the first place, it seems that it was decided to visit the imperial capital by now.

Maids are running around busily between the rooms connected to the hall.

“… I heard you need to prepare a dress for the warrior? What on earth have you prepared for?”

“yes? No way… ”

“It can’t be. Did you see you walking into the dressing room?

You are truly one-of-a-kind beauty!

If you don’t find a dress that suits her right away and present it to her, you won’t be qualified as an imperial maid.”

“Ah, I see!”

… I heard a lot of noise around me, but I decided to just turn off my nerves.

Because the princess told me to trust only her.

Time flies as I listen to the stories of the maids who tremble in Busan with one ear.

And, in the end,

The door to the dressing room, which seemed unlikely to open, opened.

“Porter!”

The first thing that came out was the saintess.

She is wearing a light green dress with a rich sense of volume, and white gloves with ribbon decorations on it.

It feels so fresh that it doesn’t match the inside.

The long, braided golden hair also felt different.

It feels like it’s properly decorated.

“… Praise me quickly!”

Even if you decorate it formally, it still bothers you.

“yes. It’s beautiful.”

“I’m not sincere… ”

It’s grumbling, but it doesn’t seem like it’s scolding me like last time.

thank god.

“… Have you been waiting long?”

The princess and Alice also followed and walked out.

Alice wears a blue dress, and the princess wears a white dress with red accents.

Do you need to decorate on a regular basis? They are beautiful people in the original version to the extent that they feel confident as if they think

If you decorate such people in earnest, the dignity and beauty will be different.

The matching of the headdress, gloves, and dress, which seemed to have been handed over by an expert, is nothing short of a work of art.

“… You look really good together.”

“Thank you. You also look very tall.”

The princess smiled and accepted it.

… And, finally, Lindsay’s eyes met.

I felt like I was going to stop breathing, but I managed to hold it in somehow.

A dress resembling a dark night landscape embroidered with the Milky Way.

Her shoulders are exposed, but her elegance is only added because of the dress in a subdued color.

It doesn’t have any jewelry decorations, but it has beautiful ruby-like eyes.

Except for the dress, the rest of the decorations are extremely understated and simple, but with it, a beautiful and elegant low-cut lady was completed.

“hi.”

Lindsay greeted me in a calm voice.

“Yes.”

The conversation ended with Lindsay giving a small nod instead of answering.

For various reasons, I still feel like I won’t be able to talk comfortably with Lindsay.

On the other side of the hall, girls who looked like noble ladies were talking about something while looking this way.

I’m worried, but I can’t hear it because it’s far away.

“His Majesty the Emperor is entering!”

With the loud cry of the old butler,

The central door of the largest hall, which had ever felt like a decoration, opened.

***

“… Was the hero originally a woman?”

It is a low, dignified voice.

Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com

Majestic appearance. The owner of a stylish beard.

At the first question posed by His Highness the Emperor, the audience, including the noble ladies, fell silent in an instant.

“… Yes. father. The hero was originally a woman.”

no… Princess. You can cry like that.

The princess is still as calm as usual, and doesn’t seem to be intimidated in the slightest.

… Hey, since this is the house, I wonder if there will be a big difference for the princess?

I feel the pressure just standing here.

The Emperor let out a deep sigh.

Is this okay like this?

Aren’t we being caught and dragged away as high treason?

Like being accused of failing to stop the hero TS, or pretending to be a hero.

The saintess, who usually goes beyond being mischievous and only plots mischief, now maintains a sincere, benevolent, innocent, yet solemn and serious face.

It’s disgusting.

In these public moments, he doesn’t seem to show even one percent of his madness.

Who the hell could think that this saintess was that saintess?

Alice is as expressionless as always.

To put it nicely, it doesn’t seem to allow people to approach it.

Or, it seems that the power of the ass is coming out of the feeling that you don’t really like this kind of intimate place,

It is a cold expressionless expression.

Lindsay also seems to have darkened her expression, but

Still looking straight at the emperor.

Silence where everyone can’t open their mouths easily.

His Highness the Emperor, who seemed to be thinking about something, finally opened his mouth.

“… Excuse me, is the Holy Sword still alive? A shocking incident is happening, so I can’t help but ask.”

“… yes! majesty. Seeing that the scabbard does not open even with my own strength, it seems that the holy sword is correct.”

Next to him, a strong-looking man who appeared to be an escort knight for His Highness the Emperor grabbed the holy sword and demonstrated it with his own hand.

It’s because we left our weapons with the escort before the banquet.

Lindsay received the holy sword from the knight, took it out of the scabbard, and held it up.

“… I’m sorry for doubting you.”

Looking at the brilliance of the holy sword, His Highness the Emperor nodded and apologized to us.

“My father is too suspicious.”

The princess was still calm.

Uh, can it be so simple?

I thought there would be more fuss.

“I deeply apologize for responding in this way to you who have gone through an arduous journey.

In the future, the Empire will never stand by your efforts for the sake of humanity.

It’s a small place, but I hope you can relieve all your fatigue in this place.

I want you to feel free to enjoy what you want to enjoy comfortably.

then.”

His Majesty the Emperor bowed lightly and greeted them, then turned around and left the front door of the hall.

“His Majesty the Emperor is leaving!”

Following the old gentleman’s cry, I suddenly came to my senses and clapped along with the others.

“… I think I heard that the hero was originally a man… But, it’s still not bad… ”

“… How can you have better skin than me who gets special care every day?”

“This is Elsa of the La Travita family, whom I saw last year. Warrior.”

The young ladies, whose eyes had been twinkling from the other side from earlier, started clinging to Lindsay one by one.

I feel like the reason why only noble ladies came here is because they wanted to establish a relationship with the hero…

Is it rather good that Lindsay became a woman?

Although Lindsay seemed taken aback by the approaching young ladies, she seemed to have already given up.

This won’t be the first time in a place like this.

I’m not the first either, but it’s the first time.

“… Is this the end?”

I whispered to the princess standing next to me quietly.

I was surprised by the fact that the procedure was much simpler than expected, even though there was a big issue.

“I’m going to do a proper report later, so you guys can enjoy the party.

In the first place, today is a place made to rest comfortably.

It is the same reason why my father left early.

Simply put, the Empire remembers your hard work – to express the degree.

You are already concerned about what will happen after the demon lord subjugation.”

As if the princess had already expected it, she comfortably lifted the wine glass the maid had brought and brought it to her mouth.

“Will you drink too?”

At her words, I also lightly raised my wine glass, bumped it against the princess, and drank a little.

It feels like an aperitif with a pleasant combination of sourness and sweetness.

***

Banderi, the commander of the imperial guards who escorted the emperor closest, felt that everything that had happened today was full of doubts.

“… Excuse me, Your Highness, can I move on without asking them about the details?“

It was a question that I dared to ask the emperor because he was the third in the imperial knight ranks and the closest to the emperor among the imperial knights.

“I see, Lord Banderi. you have no clue Historically, it wasn’t that common.”

The emperor, who was looking out the window from his office, spoke in a calm voice, as if his thoughts had already been sorted out.

“…what do you mean?”

“If the hero’s gender is ‘reversed’ as it is now, the success rate of subjugating the demon king increases dramatically.

In other words, this demon lord subjugation team means that at least two gods are favored.

Far from expressing any suspicion of them, it would be better to treat them with higher courtesy than ever before.”

“You mean something like this has happened before?”

It was hard to even imagine for Banderi.

“It is an event that is difficult for one person to see even once while alive, but it is recorded in the long history of the empire.

I can’t tell you the details, but.”

“… All right!”

If it’s related to imperial secrets, it’s better not to touch even a hair.

Banderi politely bowed his head to the emperor in his customary manner.

“… I finally understand the Goddess’ arrangement.

Why were the two heroes chosen from Ortolia, a small town on the outskirts?”

The emperor, who was still looking into the distance, suddenly muttered,
