CH 117

“Your Highness, please move.”

“You will spend your time in this room. I will give you one maid, so please do whatever you want. However, you can’t go outside until the confirmation is over.”

The basement room I was guided to is a little narrower than my private room.

A single size bed, a side table, a single chair, and a small kitchen. There are minimum facilities such as toilets and baths in separate rooms.

There was a maid standing in the room. As soon as she looked at me, her shoulders became stiff.

I wonder if she’s afraid of being with a human?

“I got it. It would be nice to spend time here.”

I replied to Isaac, and when I entered the room, the door was closed and I heard the sound of a lock from the outside.

It seems that it can’t be opened from the inside. It’s underground, so there’s no window.

First of all, call out to the maid.

“Nice to meet you, I’m Lilith, the wife of the third prince, Prince Gresis. What about you?”

“I’m Liz, a cat beast man. If you need anything, please let me know.”

She answered me even though she was scared.

Black hair, black animal ears, tail, and black eyes.

And a rich body unique to beast people. I’m jealous.

“Well, it’s a black cat. It’s nice.”

“Nice!? Isn’t black creepy?”

Liz raised her voice while keeping a certain distance.

“No at all. Gresis-sama is a black panther, but he’s very nice. That’s why you’re nice too.”

I said with a smiled.

“. . . Thank you very much.”

“Thank you, Liz.”

“It’s not even a lot. Um, did the Princess commit any crime?”

Liz asked reluctantly.

“No, I didn’t do anything. That’s why I hope they can release me as soon as possible. I have a promise with Fermes.”

“Do you have an appointment with someone?”

“Yes, I promised to plant seeds with the gardener. I also changed into clothes that can get dirty.”

When I explained the washable dress, Liz was surprised.

I’ll wait for a while while drinking tea.

I don’t even have a clock, so I don’t know what time it is or how much time has passed.

“I wonder if Gresis-sama is okay.”

Even if I know that he’s strong, you don’t know what will happen in the subjugation. I’m just worried.

I haven’t left the knight’s building, so this is the basement of the knight’s building.

If Gresis-sama is back, he may be nearby.

Beast people have good ears, so if I call his name in a loud voice, he may notice and come to see me.

But I’ve never raised my voice.

“Kohon, ah, ah, ah-.”

“Your Highness, what are you doing?”

Liz is upset about my vocal practice.

“I’m practicing to raise my voice a little.”

“Voice?”

Regardless of Liz’s suspiciousness, I took a deep breath several times.

“Gresis-sama-.”

First of all, I said to the door in a normal voice.

I’m embarrassed because Liz is there. But I’ll continue.

“G-re-e-e-si-s-sa-ma-.”

When I stretched it, I felt like it became a little louder.

But you can’t tell what I’m saying.

This is the basement, so I wonder if it will be better to say it upwards.

“Gresis-sama, I want to see you. I want to see you, Gresis-sama. I want to see you, Gresis-sama. Gresis-sama, I want to see you.”

Liz is looking at me with wide eyes.

As expected, I was too embarrassed, so I stopped.

“Gresis-sama. . .”

I rolled on the bed and muttered.

There was a rattling sound and the door opened.

I wonder if the confirmation is already over.

I get up and turn my face to the door.

“!?”

I was hugged.

“If I were here, you could have avoided this situation. I’m sorry.”

“Gresis-sama!”

Could it be that he heard my voice?

“Please don’t apologize. Is my suspicion cleared up?”

“Oh, it’s all a misunderstanding of the royal palace doctor Paul.”

“Paul, the royal doctor?”

It was the first time I heard the name.

“He’s the dedicated doctor of my father and brother. He examined my father when he had the infectious disease and recovered from a critical condition, but Lilith may not remember him.”

Certainly, after using Healer on His Majesty King Leroy, the doctor who confirmed it was not Crane. I remember that.

“The back of the leaves is different from the characteristics of poisonous flowers. It seems that Crane pointed out that it was Paul’s misunderstanding.”

“Yes, Crane.”

It wasn’t Crane who doubted me.

“I received a report from Stern, who was called to my father’s office, about the details so far.”

The beginning was that Paul, a royal palace doctor who visited to do a regular checkup of His Majesty King Leroy and my brothers-in-law, found a flower that looked exactly the same as a poisonous flower in the bouquet and pointed it out.

“There is no problem with the flowers that Lilith gave me.”

Everyone says that and doesn’t let Paul examine the flowers.

Because it was a flower with prayers.

Paul, who is not informed about my power, thinks they are protecting me who gave them poisonous flowers. He thought so, and considered it dangerous not to be charged, and reported to Stern, the Knight of the Imperial Guard of His Majesty King Leroy and the Commander of the Order.

“For His Majesty and Their Highnesses, we should question the reason for giving poison flowers and clarify the truth whether there was no intention to kill.”

In favor of Paul’s insistence, Stern also agreed and got permission from His Majesty King Leroy to listen to me, and the result of the action is now.

On the other hand, when His Majesty King Leroy and my brothers-in-law heard about my situation from Gresis-sama, they were caught off guard.

“I agreed to listen to the story, but I didn’t hear that you were going to interrogate her.”

He seemed to be quite furious, and he decided to re-educate all the royal knights.

“So what about the personal escort?”

It’s a waste of knights to take turns away from His Majesty King Leroy and my brother-in-law to escort me.

“Don’t worry, it’s fine as usual. Even so, Lilith wanted to see me so much.”

Gresis-sama laughed.

“My voice was heard, wasn’t it?”

“It was just when I came back, sinners tend to easily show their true feeling when they enter the underground room after interrogation, so the walls are made thin to hear the voices in the room.”

“I see.”

In other words, they heard everything, such as practicing to speak out, calling his name repeatedly and wanting to meet. . .

When I was put in the room, I was only thinking about Gresis-sama, but all the beast people. . . yes, everyone has good ears!

“Oh! I can’t go to the knight’s building anymore. . . or rather, I can’t get out of this room!!”

I lie down on the bed and writhe with my legs flapping.

Not only my face, but also my whole body is sweating, it’s so hot that I can’t help it.

“It’s okay, your love for me has just been known.”

Gresis-sama seems to be having fun.

It’s even more embarrassing to think that the knights will give me a warm look in the future.

I didn’t notice for the time being that I was being watched by Stern, who was waiting for me, and Donan and Isaac, who were waiting in front of the door, while I was clinging to the bed and writhing in agony.

I can see how the royal doctor would have been suspicious. This was just one big misunderstanding after another.

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