Hakai no Miko

Lesson 29: Princess Worm

Princess Wallina is possessed of worms.

It was a rumor among the noble lords of the Holmeer kingdom.

What happened was when Princess Wallina was a young child who was not even ten years old.

On that day, the noble lady of the caretaker was letting the young Princess Wallina play in a garden in the royal palace. At first she was Princess Wallina, who cheered on the blooming flowers, but when she realized it, she began to crouch in and mess with the soil.

A young child, not to mention a princess. It would be more fun to play dirt than to watch flowers.

Even if I know that, I'm not in good shape when the princess is soiled. With the intention of gently squatting, the Lady called out to Princess Wallina, who crouched with her back to this one, screaming in dismay at Princess Wallina, who looked back.

There was mud all around Princess Warina's mouth.

When the hasty lady forced Princess Wallina's mouth open with knowledge of disrespect, the mud came out of her mouth worn out.

For God's sake, this young princess was eating dirt.

Her Ladyship made Princess Wallina spit mud and rinse her mouth, and told her that she should never do this again.

And this one was cleaned up with the evil of an innocent child.

But the oddity of Princess Wallina continued.

When the caregivers and samurai look away, Princess Wallina eats dirt.

For this reason, there was only a disgraceful rumor among the noblemen that a princess possessed by earth-eating worms - a worm princess (Muhime).

While Princess Warina was the daughter of a royal family of her age, it was not only neglected by her brother, Prince Alexius, that her fiancée had not yet been ordained, but also because of this rumor.

Princess Wallina, who has finished talking about those stories with a voice that is likely to disappear now, says, making that little body even smaller.

"I know what I shouldn't and I know it too. But I can't stop my impulse..."

The royal palace doctors saw it, and the priestly cleansing and demonic prayer (toshi) curse (serious), but the vice hasn't healed yet.

To Princess Wallina, who was depressed, Shemr slapped one on her chest and showed her.

"If that's the case, I'll take care of it! My family's wife knows many things. Besides, if I have to, I'll ask the witch head to pray. I am the Son of God the Beast. If it's my wish, the witch-head will listen."

I'm worried that the Ethereal Horse will be all right with Shemru, who undertakes so. I felt like I was going to say no to that runaway witch head with a "pain in the ass" word. In that case, it is a forthright shemur. Definitely would go to the witch head to punch him in. Of course, I can't help but drag myself.

Something catches on to the back of the Ethereal Horse's brain thinking about it then.

"... makes you want to eat dirt?

I thought the Ethereal Horse heard a similar story somewhere.

As I explore my memories of when and where it was, a nostalgic voice rises in the ears of the Ethereal Horse.

"Ethereal horse. Once upon a time, your mother... '

It was the voice of the mother of the Ethereal Horse.

The mother of the Ethereal Horse was just a handicraft and horticulture or a multi-hobbyist who even made his own miso and soap. Ethereal horses have been associated with such mother's hobbies since childhood and have often helped.

That's how I used to ask my mother how she knew so many things when she was helping. Then the mother told me that she remembered a lot of these things because she couldn't play outside because of a certain illness when she was a little girl.

And that word came when my mother told me about her illness.

"Is that it, maybe...?

The pale horse patted his eyes.

Then I used to let my gaze wander around, but when I decided to, I called out to Princess Wallina, who was afraid.

"Mr. Wallina. Can I have a look at your nails for a second?

"Nails, is it?

Princess Warina hesitated. Being a princess, she uses her fingertips to do the kind of embroidery she does at best. That said, her nails were in a broken, twin-clawed, dented or reversed state.

For this reason, I didn't really want to show it to others, but it is the Ethereal Horse that is demanding it. Even though I know I already have a warm personality that I don't think of as a conqueror, it's hard to turn down that demand. However, Princess Wallina offered her hand so that she could see her nails, as the Ethereal Horse told her.

Then, the Ethereal Horse looks over and observes the nails seriously.

Princess Wallina, who knew the condition of her nails, felt a fierce shame in being so closely viewed. But the Ethereal Horse of the day seemed unaware of such a thing, and somehow nodded as he had convinced himself.

Princess Wallina tried to pull her hand in with a whoop after a while when the Ethereal Horse raised her face but thought it was finally over to be observed with her ugly nails.

Poking at the gap of Princess Wallina like that, the Ethereal Horse suddenly does something outrageous.

"Hey, sorry"

To put it that way, when the Ethereal Horse held Princess Walina's lower lid (shiny eyelid) with her index finger of both hands, she pressed it down as it was.

"Become...!

Princess Wallina has solidified herself in an outrageous manner.

In this era, touching the skin of royal nobleman women was only acceptable to good men and families. Nor does it say no, suddenly. The samurai with all the princesses of Wallina get stiff about too much.

But the pale horse, looking unaware of it either, shivers and looks at Princess Wallina's eyes, and then brightens her face painfully.

"Oh...... After all, is it?

When the Ethereal Horse is getting a good face at what seems to fit my guess, suddenly a slight shock is added to my head. When the Ethereal Horse looked back, who managed to see that he was about to hit his forehead on the table with that much momentum, there was a fist-clenched Shemr peeling his fangs.

"What are you doing?!"

When the Ethereal Horse saw Princess Wallina again in Shemr's fury, she was just shuddering as she sifted with tears in her eyes. Plus the Ethereal Horse realizes the rudeness he did, he heads down in a hurry.

"Oh, I'm sorry! I wasn't trying to do anything weird! Anyway, sorry!

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

After Princess Wallina had finally calmed me down by apologizing even and returned, the Ethereal Horse had been un-umped in her own room.

What the Ethereal Horse is haunting her head is about Princess Wallina. The Ethereal Horse had also heard rumors that Princess Warina was possessed by worms. Beginning with Aura, who actually recalled herself, in this world there is beyond intelligence - there are gods. Based on that, it is not surprising that humans have such things as worms and evil spirits to possess.

But still, the Ethereal Horse did not think Princess Wallina was possessed by the worm, as rumored.

More than that, the Ethereal Horse suspected that Princess Wallina was a certain illness.

This is because the symptoms that Princess Warina told us were very similar to the symptoms of an illness that the mother of the Ethereal Horse was said to have suffered when she was a little girl.

In addition to Princess Wallina being a young woman, that extreme bigotry also increased the likelihood of the disease.

And if the disease really is, it has the potential to heal.

The Ethereal Horse had been taught how to treat the disease by her mother, and it didn't require any special equipment or medicines, and it was something that could be done in this world.

After thinking about it, the Ethereal Horse spills.

"But if the problem can really be cured..."

That's why the Ethereal Horse hesitated.

Ethereal horses do not possess medical expertise. I couldn't be sure that I could cure Princess Wallina's illness.

And even if it's really the same disease, the cure is different depending on the cause. Unlike when she was a mother, if Princess Wallina's illness was supposed to come from a hereditary disease, it would end in total futility with a cure known to the Ethereal Horse.

Besides, this isn't the planet. It is not surprising that a completely different disease with very similar symptoms exists. The anticipation of the Ethereal Horse itself may be out of sight.

The relationship between herself and Princess Wallina is so noticeable that she can make weird rumors. Excessive contact with Princess Wallina there is like oiling a rumor fire. Now I don't even know where or in what form the rumors will fly.

Still, if you mean you can definitely cure the disease, and you don't have that certainty, it would be better not to give a bad hand here.

On the ear of a pale horse who thought so, the words Shemr uttered after Princess Walina returned.

"You want to do something to help me."

The Ethereal Horse accidentally laughed bitterly.

This worthless loyalist comes all the way to reality or to my head, demanding that it be my proud "you under the umbilical".

I won't do it, Rika, you better do it.

The belly-up Ethereal Horse speaks to Shemr, who stands beside him.

"Hey, Shemr. I need a favor."

It is a superior joy for Shemr to be able to help the Ethereal Horse, his own "you under the umbilical".

Shemr stretched his spine pinned.

"If it's the wish of my" You Under the Umbilical, "there's no denying this" Elegant Fang. "Come on, what am I supposed to do?

The Ethereal Horse says one favor.

"I want you to cook."

Shemr slightly beheaded.

Whatever it was before, it is Marco's role to make a recent Ethereal Horse meal. What the hell does it mean to bother asking yourself to do that?

It is also between the bundles that I wondered so much.

There was only one dish that Ethereal Horse said he liked it and Shemr was better at than Marco when it came to making it.

"Right. Speaking of which, you've been busy lately and haven't made it. - Okay. It's been a while since I've waved my arms."

The Ethereal Horse responds with a pleasant smile to Shemru, whose chest is stretched just to tell him to leave it to him.

"Yeah. I'm looking forward to it."

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

"You think the Son of Destruction is bullying Princess Warina?

The man gave an excited voice to the report from the servant.

After Tea Party Day, the Son of Destruction began to invite Princess Warina to lunch every day.

Princess Warina is by no means bad in an era when it is considered a virtue for a wife to refrain behind her husband, although there are some drawn-in ideas that are not exclusive to the royal family. Its lean, inner face that makes you feel weak is also the kind of girl that, in turn, tickles a man's desire for asylum.

Though the Son of Destruction is now a good man, he is at best the head of the savage subhuman race. If such a savage guy could hang a noble born girl in front of him, he would jump right at it, and set up a place for the two of them to meet, but that seems to have worked out very well.

When the man who thought so put his quest into the princess's maiden, he heard that Princess Warina was being bullied by the Son of Destruction.

"So, what did he do? Are you insulting me? Or did you just put your hands in a cage?

The man was delighted when he said he would see what a terrible look the girl was going through.

"That's..."

The questioned servant answered only slightly.

"Together, they're ordering us to eat the same meal"

The man said, "Huh?" and leak a distracted voice. The servant, who also understood that his husband was perplexed, adds an explanation.

"Princess Warina is a fierce food lover and disliker. That's what the Son of Destruction tells me to eat the same thing as himself, and he leaks it to the maid that it's hard."

"... what, like the harassment of that child?

I was clapping that I was just feeding food I didn't like. If I try to be the man out of the poor aristocracy who was also struggling with the food of the day, I would rather even feel angry at Princess Wallina, who can say whether she likes or dislikes the food.

But there's no point in ridiculing Princess Wallina for sounding good.

The Son of Destruction and Princess Wallina set up a place to face each other, aware of the danger that they would manifest themselves, all in order to discredit the Son of Destruction.

That being said, it is a harassment of feeding food that you don't like.

The man troubled his head with disappointment.

What do we do? Should we see a little more?

If I made him a chance to meet, he'd start bullying me right away. A little more, I might do something worse.

But there is no certainty that it will. Conversely, if we reconcile and get along, we will wave the opportunity to blame on the stick.

A request had also been delivered by the Marquis of Apius to do so as soon as possible. It is not written in the writ, but perhaps the Northern Marquis, including the Marquis of Appius, is also tough to maintain any more confrontational posture with the Son of Destruction.

Originally, I wanted the Son of Destruction to do something that would make the people angry and furious more.

But we no longer have time to get lost.

The man made a decision.

"All right! Anyway, use people to spread rumors that the Son of Destruction is bullying the Princess throughout the King's capital! And hurry up and send a messenger to the Marquis of Upius with an early horse!

The man who missed the life-giving servant jumping out of the room to arrange for an early horse is alone in a voice trembling with anticipation and excitement.

"It's not the Son of Destruction or Appius who gets this Holmea. I'm the last one to laugh."

The man - Mendax - held his fist for a long time.

Then a few days later, reports were delivered to the king's capital that the northern marquis had raised soldiers.
