Taming Her Highness the Princess - Chapter 44



44 – Judgment for whom (3)

The next morning.

‘Huh?’

Jeniel, who was about to have a meal with the servants at the restaurant prepared in the mansion, was puzzled. This is because he did not have the person he needed to be in the busy restaurant preparing meals.

As far as Jeniel knew, Seryl would always get up early in the morning and stop by the kitchen to help prepare meals or help the servants carry dishes.

‘But I can’t see you, so I guess I’m oversleeping.’

She was pretty much a Sheryl who never skipped meals, so the only thing I could think of was that she was oversleeping. But she also found it odd that Cheryl and she overslept.

‘He’s a kid who strictly keeps his time commitments… ….’

I don’t know if it’s the day I worked all night. Yesterday, I came to the mansion relatively early, so why can’t I see it? Jenny Earl, who was struggling, raised his hand and called a servant to stop him.

“Oh, boy? Do you have anything to say?”

“Yes. Does she know why Cheryl won’t come down to her table?”

“Miss?”

Thinking about it, the serviceman let out an exclamation.

“I knocked earlier to ask for a meal, but he said he was taking a day off because he was not feeling well. By the way, he asked me to let him know when he leaves the mansion.”

“Did you ask me to let you know when I leave?”

“Yes. I don’t know why.”

He thought he cleared up all the misunderstandings yesterday, but is he still being hated? I felt uncomfortable with something, but the human heart did not work the way I originally thought.

“Okay. Then keep working hard.”

“Yes. You’re hungry, so I’ll prepare a meal quickly.”

The servant with a smile enters the kitchen. Jennie Earl, who was seriously thinking about why Cheryl was avoiding him, turned her gaze to Radne, who was sitting next to her.

“Radne. If you don’t mind, can I ask you a question?”

“…… What.”

“Maybe. What should I do if someone hates me for no clear reason?”

She replied as if it was natural for Radne to blink her red eyes a few times.

“Then give me a reason to hate you. You just have to make them really hate it.”

At Ladne’s words, Jeniel let out a low laugh. She knew that Radne knew that she was being bullied at her college and that it wasn’t just because she was of a different race.

“You are truly amazing. It makes people happy just by looking at it.”

“…… Is that a compliment?”

“Not as a compliment.”

Something didn’t seem like a compliment, but…… Radne decided to just move on.

After the meal, Jenny Earl packed some textbooks for her class and headed to the Lotus Palace. The wound on his shoulder was well healed, and his bandages were all undone, but he did not forget to carry his staff.

Since it was a gift from the princess Irea, she intended to use it for as long as possible. After entering the lotus palace, Jeniel found Irea waiting for him in the courtyard garden.

Irea also found Jennie Earl while drinking her tea, and waved her hand and she smiled brightly. Then, as if she wanted to, she withdrew her smile and put on a stern expression.

“Your Highness. You seem to be in a good mood today.”

When Jenny Earle said that, as she approached her, her Irea’s face subtly blushed. It was a pleasure for her to be able to have classes with Jennie Earl again, but she couldn’t bring it up.

“…… I’m not in a good mood.”

I was deliberately speaking harshly, but looking at the atmosphere and excitement, it was clear that I was gladly accepting my current position.

Perhaps if Irea had a tail, she would be shaking violently by now. Jenial’s gaze, which had been smiling while thinking about it, turned around and turned to Ruinel.

“Ruinel. How are you feeling today?”

Ruinel, who was looking at Ireah happily beside her, turned her head in surprise. The spirit of Jenial staring at him is quite ferocious.

“Are you talking about me?”

“Is there anyone else named Luinel besides you?”

“It’s not like that… ….”

I don’t understand why Jenial is exuding such a cold atmosphere. It seemed like he would be in big trouble if he didn’t answer something, so Ruinel swallowed and said.

“I feel good because the weather is sunny. Professor…….”

“I had to spend it in a very dirty mood. Thanks to you.”

I couldn’t even refute because I didn’t know English. Louis Nell looked rather dazed, so Jenny Earl raised her hand and beckoned him to come closer.

I felt something ominous, but if I refused that name, it would be four months. After taking a deep breath, as they got closer, Jenny Earl raised his hand and slapped a beetle on Ruinel’s forehead.

Perfect!

Right after the clear sound rang out, Ruinel grabbed my forehead.

“Turn it off…… !”

It hurt! It also hurt terribly! It was unacceptable to the power of a person who would have only read books and studied in the mansion.

“Why, why are you doing this… ….”

Tears are streaming down my face because of the unfairness. Ruinel seemed genuinely unable to understand why Jenial was beating her.

It’s so absurd that it softens the anger inside. Did someone say It is said that the road to hell is made with good intentions.

Ruinel only acted in good faith, but the result almost led to a feud between her brother and sister. After looking down at the clear-eyed madman for a while, Jeniel sighed lowly.

“From now on, whatever you do, be sure to get permission from me. That way, nothing unsavory will happen.”

“…… What do you mean disgraceful?”

“There is such a thing. It’s complicated to explain, so be careful with your behavior in the future. Also, in the future, do not approach Malaig Mansion unless you have useful information that you must pass on to me.”

She wondered if she was a little too much, but it was unavoidable from Jenial’s point of view, who wanted to avoid Ruinel snooping around her mansion and running into Cheryl.

If Louisel said something strange to Cheryl again, it would have made things complicated between her brother and sister. However, Louis Nell focused on the ‘useful information’ of what Jennie Earl said of her.

“Ah. Come to think of it, did the professor hear the news?”

“What news?”

“That…… It is said that the Heretic Judge, who was dispatched from the Holy See, entered the system yesterday. He said he came to catch heresy, so be careful, Professor. If there is a heretic in the system, the target must be the aristocratic class.”

A heresy judge has been dispatched from the Holy See? At the unfamiliar information, Jeniel frowned involuntarily.

‘Has this ever happened in the past?’

No, I didn’t think so. Even after the imperial palace was completely engulfed by the Jeokwolseong, Seongguk did not provide much help, saying that it could not move without confirmation.

That means that the Heretic Judge who came to the system did not come to capture the Jeokwol Fortress. You didn’t come to catch Jeokwolseong, but you came to catch Ethan?

‘No way.’

Did the Heretic Judge be dispatched because of the destruction of the Holy Kingdom’s golem? However, dispatching a heretic judge just because a golem was destroyed didn’t look normal no matter how you look at it.

However, as of now, that possibility is the only thing that comes to mind. If it is true that the Heretic Judge was dispatched because of the golem…….

‘Radne is in danger.’

If the Heretic Judge had entered the system yesterday, he would have visited the mansion by now. After making all judgments, Jenial looked back at Irea and bowed her head.

“Your Highness. I’m sorry to tell you, but I think I need to go back to the mansion now.”

“A mansion? Why all of a sudden…… ?”

“It will take too long to explain right away.”

I don’t know, but I could feel the urgency in Jeniel’s tone. I was upset inside that I had to break up with Jenial as soon as I met him, but I couldn’t help it when he asked me that much.

“…… All right. If you are in a hurry, please go back.”

Jenny Earl bowed his head a little deeper to express his gratitude, then turned to him and walked away. Ireah tilted her head in her doubt because she was nervous without knowing why.

Ladne, who was working in the office after Jeniel went to work at Lotus Palace, came out to the garden in the front yard of the mansion to catch some air.

She doesn’t have much interest in the flowers growing in the garden, but her curiosity was piqued by the fact that Jennie Earl likes them. Because I wanted to know what kind of fun there is in appreciating these common flowers.

Then, while she is walking around the garden, a creepy feeling comes over her. Surprised, Radne turned her head away and she gasped.

“Ha ha, jeez. You said you were going to be as cautious as possible, but you got caught!”

A man wearing a priest’s uniform with blood stains on it was looking at me and smiling, as if the blood had not drained even after washing.

He has no idea when he got so close. Radne, whose breathing became rough, opened her mouth, wary of men.

“Who are you?”

“As you can see, I am a priest and heresy judge. If you ask her name, she can answer Nartine! If so, what is your name?”

Radne frowned at her instead of answering. Nartine was talking normally, but she wasn’t hiding it.

It is Nartine right in front of her who is being treated as a weapon of murder by forging the sacred power that the clergy of the holy kingdom use to the limit.

Unsurprisingly, Nartine was able to more clearly distinguish subtle demonic air currents that ordinary people could not understand. No matter how hard Radne tried to hide it.

“It seems difficult to say your name. Well, what is the importance of your name? The important thing is that you are a Majin and you are living in this Mallaig Mansion.”

The fact that his identity was discovered makes his hands tremble. Nartine smiled politely as she looked at Radne, whose nervousness was evident.

“Looking at you, everything seems to be explained. Why did the golem made by the saintess cause an error? hahahaha, that wasn’t an error. The holy golem was only there to punish you, the demon!”

“… ….”

“Princess Jeniel destroyed that golem and protected you. That’s really, really strange. Why did Prince Jenial protect a demon like you? If Young master knew you were a demon and hid it, you wouldn’t be able to escape the punishment.”

Hiding demons is considered a heretic. Even if he was the eldest son of the Malaig family, he would not be free from political pressure the moment he was designated as a heretic.

Radne didn’t want that. Because I didn’t want to see Jeniel being swayed by these disgusting bastards. Being alone was enough.

“Jeniel doesn’t know.”

So, Jenial will forgive me for light lies.

“I hid the fact that I was a demon and entered this mansion. The fact that Jenial protected me from the golem was only because I was a student.”

To Nartine, it didn’t matter if that was true or not. The important thing was that Radne denied that Jenial was an accomplice.

It wasn’t a very good feeling for Nartine, who wanted to deal with the Malaig family as she pleased by somehow making Ladne and Jeniel accomplices.

“Well, shall we move the location for now? I don’t think either you or I would want to fight here.”

At Nartine’s words, Radne nodded her head. She didn’t want to fight the Heretic Judge in the mansion’s garden.

“Follow me. Because I know places people don’t go.”

Radne, who has lived in the islands for a long time, knows of a secret place that people don’t look for. It was internally unpleasant to take the Heretic Judge to a secret place only he knew, but it was inevitable.

Ladne, who turned and walked, glanced at the mansion that was getting farther and farther away. Perhaps, whether he wins or loses this battle, he will never be able to return to the mansion again.

No, it was natural that he would not be able to live in the capital, let alone a mansion. As I thought about it, complex emotions crept into my heart. That piece of mind creates a little sadness.

‘Jenial… ….’

I didn’t want to leave like this, but I’m really sorry.
