.129

Late at night, the tent was filled with a sweet smell.

A night scent that maximizes the sexual attraction of women and enhances the emotions of men.

I was alone with Alice in that scent.

Alice stood beside me as if she were my wife.

I quickly tried to sip alcohol on the glass I had left open.

"Oh! Oh, I'm sorry!!"

The booze that was driven by the aggressive hand was spilled out of the glass with a tremor in my hand and fell on my thighs.

Alice rushes to put down the bottle, fetches the cloth, and wipes the booze on me.

I let her like it while holding a glass. [M]

"I'm really sorry! I'll do it properly next time."

"Don't worry about it. I don't care about the rest of it."

So, but--

"I'm rather relieved."

When I laughed, Alice said, "Huh?" I suddenly got a look on my face.

She has a face wondering where she feels safe now.

"If you are a song princess, customer service (,,) will be included in one of the jobs." Everything you need to do to do this will be remembered one by one in the actual battle (,,) "

Um, yes.

"But you don't remember." Because there was no real battle. "

"Yes... thanks to His Majesty's protection..."

Alice faintly lowered her eyes and looked at me hesitantly.

Those eyes have a strong color of gratitude.

Yes, a man like her is a piece of paper unlike a pure whore.

There is no doubt that singing in a shop is a profession known as a princess.

However, when you become a talented woman, it's inevitable that you'll be able to spot a man with money, power, or both.

Ninety-nine percent of the reason why such a human is approaching is an instant object that wants to hold the woman.

It's not good or bad, it's real, and I think that as long as the man is a man, the future will not disappear.

Meanwhile, Alice did not.

That's because I looked her in the eye before she was named, and I gave her money to help.

Once the 13th Prince and then the wise Prince, now the Emperor of the Empire.

There wasn't a daredevil in the Imperial City who would touch my "handkerchief."

Therefore, Alice does not need to do such a "job", and she does not have the necessary skills at all.

"I know, that's why I don't care"

"Thank you, Your Majesty." I'll remember immediately-- "

"No, you don't."

Huh?

“You don't have to remember that. I'll do it for now, but when this expedition is over, you can forget all about it."

"But...."

What do you think of this sword?

While saying that, I pulled out the sword that was sitting next to me.

Not Leviathan, the Emperor is always surrounded by various ornaments, and this sword is one of them.

Both the pattern and the sheath are decorated with gorgeous decorations, and it is a ritual sword with extremely low practicality.

I pulled it out and asked Alice at the store.

"Um... a fine sword?"

"Yeah, what do you think about this guy frying fish and cutting radishes?"

"What!? That's a waste of time."

"I mean, that's what it is."

"...... ahh"

About a dozen seconds later, Alice was relieved.

It seems that I understood that it would be a waste to have Alice liken this sword to a whore who sells her body.

"Your Majesty..."

"It's not a flattery." You were able to shake the hearts of the crowd on Banajin Street. I want you to sing that song without remembering it. "

"Yes... I will."

Umu

"Your Majesty is an amazing man after all..."

Hmm, I kept it to a gentle smile.

Yes, but Alice was able to drink even more with an excited expression on her face.

I like it because I don't have to dare to stop the necessary behavior in this place right now.

Still...

Hmm?

Your Majesty is also very strong in alcohol, isn't he?

"Oh... that's a bit of a cheat."

Huh?

"It's detoxified with an apo-piece from the soba you drank."

"Ahhhhh...?"

Alice was relieved.

It's like a spirit following me.

I-I see.

"So I'm detoxifying the alcohol that enters my body from the side where I drank it." As long as I'm doing it, I won't get drunk no matter what. "

"Wow... you can do that, right?"

“I know you drank the same amount, but you're really drunk and you're not talking about it.”

I laughed.

Drinking alcohol while serving Alice to play the lantern.

He plays the figure of a liquor-colored person in a way that is easy to understand.

Both this and this, all because of the "first sword".

Hmm?

What's the matter?

"Something's noisy out there."

I'll take a look.

Alice stood up, like that.

And he went up to the entrance of the tent, and he went out, and said something.

After a while, I picked up something and came back with it.

"Your Majesty, I have a tip from Ducer's deputy."

Alice was right, she put what she had in front of me.

It was a box.

"Oh, a box of flowers."

"Fluffy... box?"

"It's a tightly locked box that only I can open." It's used to inform me about important things. "

"Something like this..."

"If it's Duchell, it's Zoe." You know Zoe, don't you? "

"Oh, yes. I've seen it on your side several times."

Hmm. She's Ducer's deputy now.

"I-I see..."

Alice looked a little confused, wondering if she was a substitute for a woman.

Open the box you received from her.

Using the power of the remaining flowers, the box itself opened as if the buds were blooming.

What came out of it was a nicely folded letter.

I read the letter carefully for my hand. [M]

"...... hmmm"

What do you got?

While I was reading, Alice kept quiet so she wouldn't get in the way, and she waited for me to finish reading and then spoke to me.

"Yeah, it looks like there was a flood in Dussel."

"Flooding"

"So Zoe tried to preserve the land so that it would not be bought by the merchants, as she did in the old days, but without the money, she started to cry."

"Ah......"

"Do you know that this is the case with floods?"

"Yes... that's what I hear so often..."

Hmmm.

I nodded tinyly.

It's not unusual.

After the floods, merchants get in early and buy land at almost the same price everywhere.

Zoe's trying to stop it, like I did a long time ago.

What are you going to do?

"I see... we need to split it into two stages."

"Two steps...?"

"Oh, the land was once preserved by me, and Zoe sees it. First, I'll order Henry in the capital to make a budget. If there's one thing that precedes it, Zoe has experience, so I don't care."

What's the next step?

"It's a reconstruction: seedlings, farm implements, and cattle and horses." I'll make it available for free around next spring. "

“Why is it free?”

"The flood brings fertile land, but most people don't have the money to make use of it. That was one of the reasons the merchants were swarming. I'll have seedlings, farm implements, and cattle and horses ready to go to the fertile lands."

"So you can eat it!"

Alice said with moving eyes.

"There's that, too."

"Are you also...?"

"I'm going to rescue you, but humans can't just inflate your stomach." You can't live without hope. If you have free seeds and tools, you will hope to rebuild it. "

"Wow... I've been thinking so much..."

Alice stared at me with increasingly moving eyes.
