CH 67

Before being guided during the audience, I received an explanation from Prince Harence in the waiting room.

“According to my father’s wishes, I will guide you to the audience in order. First of all, I will guide Lord Crane, and then the knights of our country will guide Gresis and his subordinates, then Curtance and his subordinates, and finally Princess Lilith.”

“Why are the couple separated?”

“I can only say that my father has something in mind.”

To Gresis-sama’s dissatisfaction, Prince Harence did not answer with the detailed reason.

“Your Royal Highness Princess Lilith, I will guide you during the audience.”

Finally, a knight came to call me in the waiting room where there was only one person left.

The door of the audience room is opened, and an elongated red carpet extends in a straight line from the entrance to the throne at the back.

I walk on it and go in front of His Majesty the King of the Kingdom of Howl sitting on the throne.

The people who had an audience first stood to the left and right and opened the center, so I knelt directly in front of the throne.

According to the information I heard in advance, I think his name is His Majesty King Hamul.

I think he was a gray wolf beastman.

His Majesty King Hamul had silver hair and emerald green eyes. The plump and large body, the standing animal ears and the fluffy tail are so adorable.

At first glance, he looks generous and kind.

However, he exuded an unfathomable atmosphere.

“Be at ease. You’re Lilith.”

“Yes, I am Lilith, the wife of Prince Gresis, the third prince of the Tenar Kingdom. It’s an honor to meet you.”

I stood up and bowed as a lady to show respect.

“Oh, this is quite a lot. Leroy seems to be worried about you too much.”

In response to the request from the Kingdom of Tenar, he heard everyone’s request in advance so that cooperation could be made, and His Majesty King Leroy would send the summarized contents in a letter.

I’m sure that’s the letter.

“It’s a shame.”

“And that flower, the national flower of the Hire Kingdom, right? Is the sender a Curtance?”

His Majesty King Hamul turned his eyes to His Royal Highness Curtance.

“Yes, she took care of me a lot at the National Foundation Festival, so I just showed my gratitude.”

“Oh, thank you. How on earth can I be able to send national flowers?”

His Majesty King Hamul stares at me as if he was seriously observing.

I just temporarily took care of heatstroke. Can I say that?

If Prince Curtance doesn’t tell the details, I should keep quiet.

“I understand that Lilith didn’t come to harm our country. But I’m not going to let humans know about the existence of our country. Even if it’s a family member, don’t reveal it to the humans. Also, I want you to be careful about discriminatory behavior.”

Huh? The eyes of His Majesty King Hamul are so scary that my spine freezes.

I felt obvious hostility, and I even felt like the whole air was frozen during the audience.

Calm down, I’m a member of the royal family. As a lady, you must not stop smiling.

I tell myself and adjust my breathing.

When I looked at His Majesty King Hamul’s adorable animal ears and tail, I was a little healed and I was able to recover my feelings.

“I will keep the Kingdom of Howl a secret, and for the sake of treatment, I will do my best to build a better relationship with you.”

“That’s a good idea.”

I was relieved in my heart that His Majesty King Hamul returned to a calm expression.

“Gresis, you have an interesting wife, it seems that you take great care of her.”

“Yes. She is an existence that can’t be replaced. Besides, knowing the danger of infection, there is no lie about the spirit of my wife who decided to be Crane’s assistant in the Kingdom of Howl.”

“Let’s admit that. Lilith, please take care of us for the sake of our country.”

“Yes, I will do my best.”

His Majesty King Hamul smiled and nodded broadly, and turned to His Imperial Highness Harence.

“Harence, do your best so that everyone can show their power to the fullest, and focus on ending the insanity disease.”

“Yes. Please leave it to me.”

“I’m sorry, but in order to prevent infection, we will not hold a welcome evening party, and we will have the meal brought to the room. I want you to be patient until the illness is over. Take a good rest today and prepare for tomorrow.”

“””Yes.”””

The audience ended safely.

“I want Mr. Crane and Princess Lilith to head to the patient’s camp on the west side of the lake from tomorrow. The guide is my brother, and I leave it to the second prince, Corini.”

Prince Harence said so and tapped the shoulder of the beastman wearing a knight’s uniform next to him.

Earlier, it was the man who guided me during the audience.

“I’m Corini, the second prince of the Kingdom of Howl. We will respond to all the preparations necessary for treatment. Please consult with me about anything.”

Prince Corini has the same silver hair as Prince Harence, and his hair is shorter than the collar compared to Prince Harence, who has a wolf-cut.

Prince Harence told everyone.

“From now on, the treatment group will be with Corini, and the local group will be in a separate room with me, and we will discuss the details of tomorrow.”

I and Crane were guided by His Royal Highness Corini, Gresis-sama and Prince Curtance, and the knights of various countries were guided by the knights of the Kingdom of Howl, and each moved to a separate room.

“See you later.”

“Yes.”

For a moment when I left with Gresis-sama, we tangled our fingers together and then separated.

We in the treatment group immediately started talking with Prince Corini in the room where we were guided.

Our request was communicated in a letter in advance, so the content was confirmed, and we were asked if there were any other requests, and the discussion ended immediately.

“Then, I’ll be ready to do it by tomorrow. If you don’t have anything, I’ll excuse myself. As soon as the room is ready, the chamberlain will guide you, so please wait here for a while.”

Prince Corini left the room, and at the same time, a dog-eared maid came and made me tea.

“Thank you.”

“What? Oh, yes.”

It seems that she didn’t expect me to speak to her, and she was very surprised.

The maid left the room as soon as she made tea, so it was just me and Crane in the room.

Suddenly, Crane held his head and groaned.

“Ah, how devastating. The king will thank me directly, and in the future, I will be looked at with respect. ‘It’s not me, it’s Princess!’ How many times have I wanted to say that?”

“I’m sorry. Crane, I let you play a role you don’t like.”

“No, this is within the expected range, so it’s fine. What I don’t like is that the princess is treated coldly. We beast people are sensitive to emotions, and we can immediately read whether it is malicious or good. However, they want to make the Princess, as a human representative the bad person in order to relieve stress. I’m angry that they’re so stupid.”

Crane’s tail, which doesn’t move much, is unusually hitting the floor many times.

“Thank you for being angry for me. It may be unscrupulous, but I was happy to realize that I was valued.”

“It’s still a long way to go that our feelings can’t be conveyed to the princess without being treated coldly.”

Crane gave me a big sigh, so I panicked.

“It’s different. I know you’re thinking of me. But I guess I’ve reconfirmed it.”

“Yes, yes, I know.”

I was laughed at by Crane. Apparently, I was made fun of.

“If it’s Crane. . . Thank you as always. Thank you so much. Thank you very much.”

“Wait a minute, Your Highness, what is it all of a sudden?”

Crane was a little embarrassed and turned red, so I couldn’t help but laugh.

“I can’t say it enough.”

“I’m the one who wants to thank you. As a doctor, I’m happy to be able to help with the miracle of the princess who can save the life that can’t be saved.”

“I’m glad you said that. I look forward to working with you from tomorrow.”

“Me too.”

We shook hands with each other, and I felt that the bond deepened more than before.

Sorry for the late update. I was unable to post for the last two days due to illness.

I hope you enjoyed this chapter and thank you for reading!
