My childhood friend the hero was genuinely angry - Chapter 49



49 – The Exiled Princess’ Obsession Begins (2)

‘Aren’t you really crazy?’

Before the princess was banished from the empire, she overheard the conversation between the emperor and Xerath.

The emperor’s words that he will hand over the empire to the kingdom of Alprada to which Xerath belongs.

Hearing that, Letia couldn’t help but be terrified.

No matter how bad the current situation of the empire is, to be relegated to a mere kingdom was tantamount to discrediting the name of the empire that boasted a long history.

This was something she could never tolerate as she had the honor and pride of being a member of the imperial family.

Because of this, she was very angry about this, and she was about to grab the Emperor by the collar and tell her to revoke this decision, but a thought flashed through her mind.

‘Wait…? Isn’t this an opportunity for the Empire to come into my hands again?’

Come to think of it, she was exiled from the Empire.

Letia, who has a strong hatred for her own father, will never be able to hold the power of the empire again, as long as her emperor rules her empire.

However, the story is different if Xerath rules the empire.

‘Even though Zeras is the prime minister of the kingdom, he must be the real power of the kingdom, so wouldn’t it be enough to seduce him? Then the empire will come into my hands again.’

If only Xerath can be persuaded, she may become a princess again, she may become an empress, and she may once again rule the empire.

Of course, now Xerath is the chancellor of the kingdom, and there must be a queen who is higher than him, but Xerath had to be the real authority.

Because no one stronger than Xerath exists. After all, in a world where strength is power, Xerath will be able to take over the kingdom if he puts his mind to it.

In addition, now that even the warriors have lost their power, it can be said that the value of Xerath has risen even more.

In the end, seducing him was the only way the princess could overcome this situation.

An opportunity to win honor and wealth as the princess of the empire once again existed in front of my eyes.

And I’m sure you can seize that opportunity if you’re on your own.

‘If it’s my appearance… It might be possible.’

Letia gave her a smirk as she thought of her own appearance.

To be honest, it’s not an exaggeration to say that Letia’s appearance is really beautiful no matter who sees it objectively.

With her brilliant silver hair, fair skin, and red eyes, her appearance was always shining wherever she went.

Of course, no one dared to demean her appearance because of her status as a princess, but it was unmistakably true that she had overwhelming beauty.

Letia was quite pretty enough to charm many men.

And since she was like that, she thought she would be able to seduce Xeras.

‘It’s a pity that I have to fawn over a mere commoner.’

In the process, it must have hurt her very pride that she had to look good for her commoner, Xerath, whom she hated so much.

This situation, in which she had to woo herself, who was of noble blood, not to anyone else, but to her commoners, was a situation she could never tolerate.

‘Well, it can’t be helped. Now, somehow, I have to look good to Xerath.’

As the situation is now, I thought there was nothing I could do about it.

Now was not the time to be proud.

I must act desperately.

‘Okay…! Let’s talk.’

That’s how the princess’s operation to seduce Xerath began, and after her talk with the emperor ended, she faced Xerath who was about to leave the empire.

So the princess smiled and talked to Xerath.

“Hey… Xerath. Do you see everyone in a place like this? Is the weather nice?”

“I’m busy on my way.”

However, it was simply ignored.

Zerath passed by as if he didn’t care about the princess at all.

‘I… Are you ignoring me? How dare you… A commoner?’

Seeing him like that, Letia couldn’t help but get angry for a moment.

No matter how busy you are, ignoring yourself with noble royal blood, now this was quite an insult to yourself.

I wanted to yell and argue with Xerath right away, but she managed to put up with it.

‘After… Calm down. I’m just going to follow you around for now.’

She had to seduce Xerath somehow.

So, she followed Xeras around.

‘Why do you keep following me?’

Letia, the princess who banished me from the empire.

However, I didn’t have much of a personal grudge against Letia.

It’s been quite a while since I was exiled from her empire, and I’m doing well in her kingdom now, and I don’t have any ill feelings toward her given her current happy life.

I might have hated her at the time of her exile, but now I just didn’t feel anything.

But that didn’t mean I had good feelings for the princess.

Anyway, I don’t have any ill feelings towards the princess who expelled me anymore, but even so, the fact that she continues to follow me now is a bit annoying to me.

“Hey, Princess. Why do you keep following me?”

I had no choice but to ask the princess, who continued to follow me even though I kept ignoring her.

No matter how much I thought about it, there was no reason for the princess to follow me. As far as I remember, the princess definitely hated me.

Since she was the princess who was banished from the empire because she was a commoner, if such a princess followed me, there must have been a reason not small, so I asked her.

“… Uh… Just happened to be the same way.”

“Don’t lie, and quickly explain the reason. Why is the princess going to a place like this?”

Of course, the princess put on a slightly embarrassed expression, and she tried to make excuses, but of course she was talking nonsense.

The place I am going now is the road to Alprada Kingdom, and there was no particular place for the princess to go around Alprada Kingdom.

I wasn’t familiar with the circumstances of the imperial family, but as the chancellor of the kingdom of Alprada, I knew at least that there was little contact between the imperial family and the kingdom of Alprada.

There must be a reason why they are following me like this.

“That’s…”

“I’m busy, but I’ll listen to you.”

I sighed and decided to listen to the story for now.

Now I am quite busy as the chancellor of Alprada Kingdom. After arriving in the kingdom right away, he would have to deal with the backlog of business, and a very big task of merging with the empire was also created.

I was in a situation where I might have to stay up all night if I went back right away, but in the end I decided to listen.

It’s pretty tiring for the princess to keep following me like this, so it’s okay to listen to her talk for a while.

“That’s…”

After I asked the princess, she began to tell her story while intertwining her fingers.

The words she spat out while hesitating.

“I… I want to go to Alprada Kingdom too. I want to work there.”

That was a bit absurd.

Why is the princess suddenly coming to Alprada Kingdom where I am?

No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t understand it at all.

“Yes? Don’t joke.”

That’s why I tried to dismiss the princess’ words as just a joke from her.

Why do you want to come to Alprada Kingdom? I didn’t understand the princess’s actions at all, and I couldn’t understand her purpose either.

So I wondered if she was just saying it, but the princess seemed to be serious.

“I also want to live in the kingdom of Alprada. I can’t go back to the empire anyway… Please do anything.”

The princess really seemed to be thinking of coming to the kingdom of Al Prada.

She showed me two bright eyes and seemed full of her will to come to her kingdom.

“Why is our kingdom among many, many countries? Didn’t the princess hate me in the first place?”

Of course I had no choice but to ask why.

As far as I know, she knew that the princess hated me very much.

It was the princess who banished me because she was a commoner.

But to think that such a princess would suddenly come to my kingdom.

I didn’t understand what you were thinking.

“That… That. Not anymore…! There’s no such thing anymore. I know very well now that Xerath actually has powers. It all stemmed from a misunderstanding. I’m sorry.”

At my words, the princess shook her head and said no.

She apologized to me then she really seemed like she couldn’t help it, she was sorry to me.

She said she was good, she never meant anything bad, she said.

‘Is that really all there is?’

I couldn’t help but stare at the princess for a moment.

She apologizes to me outwardly, but is this really her intention?

To be honest, I didn’t know that either. Because there was no such thing as magic to read someone’s heart.

However, it didn’t feel very sincere, so it wasn’t a very good feeling.

‘Should I take you for now?’

Still, it didn’t matter.

The princess needed a job right now, and the developing kingdom desperately lacked labor.

Since she says she’ll do anything, she’ll just have to do some farming work.

It’s hard, but it’s not that difficult.

No matter what the princess’s true intentions are, if she’s going to farm, then it won’t matter to me at all.

On the contrary, it was a good opportunity to secure a labor force.

“Are you really going to do anything?”

“Yes…! Please tell me anything. I will do my best in everything…!”

I asked the princess a question with a satisfied smile, and the princess also answered very happily.

That’s how the number of farmers in the kingdom increased by one.

‘Is this green light?’

To be honest, Letia couldn’t help but be a little worried.

She believed in her appearance and tried to seduce Xerath, but Xerath didn’t seem interested in her.

She was the princess who was frustrated seeing him treat him as if he was useless no matter how pretty the princess was or not.

But by now, she had no choice but to judge that idea was completely wrong.

Zerath smiled at the words that he would do anything, and he happily accepted the princess’ proposal.

This situation could only mean one thing.

‘Xerath, you are also a man after all, so it must be unavoidable.’

It was obvious that she wanted to keep her princess by her side.

Seeing Xerath’s heart, the princess couldn’t help but laugh inwardly.

No matter what, Xerath is also a man after all, and men have no choice but to use it if it is a pretty woman.

‘I’ll have to dedicate my first time, but I can’t help it.’

Of course, it was clear that he hated having to sacrifice himself to a commoner like Xerath, not to anyone else.

That is also a self that no one else can even touch.

So far, Letia has been like a flower on the cliff. There was no one who dared to pick her up, and her Letia was also aware of her own position and remained aloof.

So it must be clear that this situation hurts my pride very much, but it’s okay.

‘As expected, this level of appearance is not common. The empire might come back into my hands more easily than I thought.’

Because it’s for the cause.
