73 – Drunk

Drunk

“I am the devil of all nations.”

As soon as Emilia, who was moderately drunk, heard Rai’s words, her spine cooled and her spirit flashed.

Her blurry green eyes brightened when a top-secret information popped up casually.

There are countless people in the banquet hall, including academy students, attendants, and guards. What the hell is this man talking about?

It was Diana’s smile that broke the chilly atmosphere.

“What is it, is this your first time playing this game? What if you tell such a ridiculous lie from the beginning. Originally, this game was supposed to tell plausible lies.”

“Oh, isn’t that how you do it?”

“Yeah, yeah. It’s usually based on ordinary everyday life that’s hard to tell a lie. I like green peppers, where I’m from, do it again.”

At Diana’s words, Rai nodded her head.

“The next lie is I am Adelian? I can’t play games.”

Even Asran laughs and teases Rai.

A fact that is too big, everyone present treats Rai’s words as a joke.

The only one surprised here is Emilia, who knows the truth, and when everyone smiles and passes it over, Rai tilts her head.

“I can’t do it? I’m confident in deceiving people. Then… I…”

Lai, who has already fooled many people in the banquet hall, ponders it before speaking again.

“I hate sly people.”

“It’s still a weird word, but I’ll get over it.”

Seeing Rai giving an unusual answer, Diana nodded her head patronizingly.

“I’ve never met Edelian. I drink three bottles of 50% brandy. I’m from Bred. Can I do this?”

“Okay, good. Now we have to guess the truth.”

Diana nods her head and sets her glass in front of her rai.

With a mischievous smile, she fills her strong drink halfway. It was a drink that was usually drunk slowly while enjoying the fragrance by pouring only about a quarter of the glass, so even if it was a penalty, it felt a bit excessive.

“Ugh- can you drink that all at once?”

“You just have to match.”

Diana clearly answers Aslan’s question and puts her bottle down.

“The person who hit it will drink the lycan.”

“What is that disadvantage?”

“Originally, games are fun only when they are disadvantaged.

When Diana takes the initiative in making a choice, her other academy students also quietly begin to ponder.

When Filia, who was seriously thinking about it, bet on the word that she hates sloppy guys, Aslan shakes her head.

“That can’t be.”

“Why can’t it be that way? To be honest, it’s so natural to hate sloppy guys. Even if you can think of it as a trap, it’s actually the opposite…”

“No, you don’t have to dig that deep.”

After cutting Philia’s words, Aslan speaks confidently.

“If you say you hate sloppy people, you mean you hate yourself too. So it’s self-hatred, but of course it’s a lie.”

“……”

“…… Asran… You are very smart.”

“Kill, you guys.”

The academy students are surprised and praise Asran for his wisdom.

Filia, who started seriously thinking about Aslan after hearing her words, and a false one came out. When Rai was frowning at her favorite Diana, Zeroa bet on Edelian.

“Surely the most questionable item, but that one looks like a trap too. You can just say I saw it while walking down the street.”

“Is that so? I know that Instructor Lai has been abroad for a long time, so I walked here.”

“Oh, that’s plausible.”

There were many people who believed that the academy students were active abroad, seeing Lai who has no career but high skills.

Abigail, who knows how to use the accent of mercenaries skillfully, nodded her head to Zeroa’s choice.

There are subtly plausible lies, so the academy students, who were hard to choose, each believe in the prediction and choose one by one.

“Then I’ll choose the bread fat.”

In the end, Emilia chose a place from Rai that no one had chosen.

“Eh- Princess? Not at all.”

“That’s right, Leah knows that the Bread area is unrecognizable because of that peculiar way of speaking.”

Rai grins when Asran and Diana tell her that her choice was wrong.

“As if covered in darkness, your eyes cannot illuminate the door to the truth. How heartbreaking and resentful this is. Even when the truth calls out sadly right in front of you, your ears do not open like letters stuck to wax. .”

“Crazy…”

Thick and harsh voice, stiff tone, but words that contradict it at random are the characteristics of the people of the Bread area.

Originally a rough people, but belatedly incorporated into the empire, the Bread region used elegant words used in the center randomly, and this peculiar way of speaking was established.

There was even a word called bread language to tease them, and upon hearing Rai speak the bread language fluently, Aslan spat out curse words as if in disbelief.

“When did you talk about it? These days, in the Bread area, if you use this kind of tone, you’ll get scolded for saying you’re an old man.”

Rai recited the words she heard from her Leila and smiled triumphantly.

“Wow- I really didn’t know this.”

“Are you really from Bread? Nonsense.”

Everyone is surprised, but Emilia, who chose the truth, is laughing.

Actually, she guessed it because she knew Rai’s disguised identity. Emilia, who didn’t even know how to use Brett language, was surprised by her words.

Rai, holding the glass of Emilia who matched the truth with the people who chose her lies, drank it all coolly and set it down on her table.

“Kuah- You’re f*cking strong.”

“I feel like my stomach is burning.”

“Hmm- Then how much do you drink?”

When Diana asks if she still has regrets about her choice, Rai shrugs her shoulders.

“A bottle of brandy.”

“Eh- surprisingly less. No, not less, but considering the image of a drunkard, it’s surprising.”

“You mean you don’t like sloppiness?”

This time, Philia interjects and asks.

“I like it. It’s fun to make fun of them if you shove them even though you don’t have any skills, and if you have skills, there’s a taste of crushing them.”

“Wow – Your personality is dirty.”

Considering Rai’s personality, it was a cool answer that Philia wouldn’t have any regrets about.

The academy students gave appropriate answers to the lie they each chose and played the game twice more, but each time they couldn’t get over Lai’s clever lie and had to drink continuously.

At her end, Emilia was also caught, and after drinking her strong drink, she began to tease her, and her escort knight, her Jane, had to carry her into her bedroom.

Leaving her academy students to drink her, Lai, who followed her Jane, walks beside her and talks to her.

“Did you say Jane? Emile… I’m sorry I gave you too much to drink.”

“Feel free to call me Jane, Instructor.”

After Jane said to call her comfortable, she briefly looked down at Emilia in her arms.

Looking at her affectionately as her parents look at their children, Jane looks up and expresses her gratitude to Rye.

“On the contrary, thank you to the instructor. This is the first time Princess Emilia has been drunk.”

I don’t know what to praise for getting her drunk, but Jane bows her head.

“The princess has never drank her alcohol properly since she drank a lot once to check her own alcohol level.”

“Is it dangerous?”

At her Rai’s question, Jane nodded her head with her wry smile.

With enemies everywhere, Emilia always had to keep her spirits up.

Her body shouldn’t be weak, and she shouldn’t be drunk. She never knew when her brothers might play her tricks, so she always had to get on her nerves.

“This is the first time the princess has put her mind at ease. She seems to have deep trust in the instructor.”

“Well, I’m trustworthy.”

“hahahahaha, I think so. She said that even the princess is safe now.”

Even with Rai’s cheeky words, Jane nodded with a smile.

When she said that she was going to take it easy today, she was worried, but she was Jane, but she was Emilia.

She even tried to dissuade Emilia, who even joked that she would give her a day off because she had worked hard, but Jane, who had always been wary of her surroundings, was able to relax and feel comfortable with her. It was good.

“Thank you for escorting me.”

“It’s not an escort, I just walked with you in case you’re bored. Then I’m leaving.”

Rai shook her hand in her light mood and returned to the banquet hall in front of her bedroom.

Lai giggled at the banquet hall, which became more sh*t: the shouts that rang out as soon as she opened the door, the smell of alcohol wafting through the air.

Zeroa, who was captured by Aslan, is lying on the table from drinking too much, and Abigail is drinking more and more reddened, as if she likes high-quality alcohol.

The attendants of high-status people received professional training appropriate to their status.

Especially in regards to etiquette, they have been thoroughly educated enough to get a job as a teacher.

Because going against the etiquette is related to honor, the advice of the attendants was worth listening to.

The only time those servants don’t interfere is where the alcohol is.

One of the famous words among attendants is to close one’s ears and mouth in front of a person who has been drinking.

No matter how good-natured or fair a person may be, if alcohol paralyzes reason, the attendants, who are relatively weak, do not say anything at the banquet hall, not knowing what to do.

I don’t care whether it’s against etiquette or being a dog, and I just stand still, carrying alcohol and food in silence.

Rai gathers the attendants who are silently staring at the floor with the drunken academy students in front of them.

From here on, it’s the domain of drunkards. Because sane people get stressed just by seeing drunk humans, Rai freed them.

After asking for a few bottles of alcohol and some food, the attendants move quickly as if they had waited.

I don’t even ask if it’s okay. Instead, they quickly fill the table with alcohol and food and disappear in a flash, as if they are afraid to call them.

Rai, seated at a table left only by drunkards, pours a glass.

Diana already doesn’t see what she’s gone into the bedroom and she’s the rest but she sits there drunk.

‘As expected, he’s a sincere guy.’

She thinks of the missing Diana, and as Rai drinks her drink, Philia, who has been away from her, stumbles over and sits next to her.

The upright posture is defenseless, and the intelligent eyes are half open.

Philia, staring blankly at her rai, takes a sip of it as he refills her glass, then exhales her hot breath.

“Are you disappointed in me?”

“What are you disappointed with?”

“You say you’re disappointed in me, am I disappointed? Am I disappointed?”

At Philia’s drunkenness, who repeats the same words, Rai tells the other kids that it’s annoying.

“Hey, send him to the bedroom.”

“……”

“……”

“Yes, everyone is busy.”

Asran having a snowball fight with a pillar, drinking without speaking, but seeing Abigail spilling half of it and throwing the other half behind her head, Rai gives up.

“Don’t ignore me ahh- I’m disappointed, huh?

“Kuk- Hey, let go. Don’t choke while pretending to be cute.”

It looks like a cute drunkard, but Philia hugs Rai from behind and her body, which has been repeated thousands of times, moves on its own and ensnares him by the neck.

Wrapping her neck around her inside of her arm and choking her firmly, Philia hits her arm to let go, but she hugs her tighter and doesn’t let go.

Rai, who barely got out of her hug of her philia, which makes her pound with her other meaning, gasps and separates her.

“Sir uh- I’ll be with you-“

When I push her face away, Philia rushes in as if she wants to hug her, and eventually hangs on her face and rests her head on her rai’s thigh, becoming quiet.

When the bird nears hears her breathing, Lai sighs and gulps down her liquor instead of water.

Then she looked around the banquet hall again and saw that she was the only person standing up.

From noble mtl dot com

Aslan was sleeping hugging her pillar, and her Abigail passed out with her head on the table as she was drinking.

Left alone, Rai grabs a bottle of alcohol and some food from the table and goes to a corner to sit on the floor.

Filia, who was lying on her thighs, was dragging her Rai by her waist, hugging her tightly even as she was asleep, and Rai sat on her floor, laid her Philia down, and drank alone.

* * *

The villa is not a very quiet place except for the bedroom.

The servants’ daily routine begins at dawn and they busily travel around to finish cleaning and preparation.

I can’t hear the tumultuous conversation, but the noise made by the busy movement tickles Philia’s ears and comes to her senses little by little.

It’s not something I usually use at a vacation home, but a warm pillow feels good.

As she moves her head little by little and feels the texture of her pillow, at some point Philia comes to her senses and opens her eyes.

“Are you awake now?”

Rai asks, looking down at her frozen Philia.

She looked up at him for a long time, then Philia. Little by little she began to remember her yesterday, her eyes twitching.

“My legs are numb, so stop standing up, kuck-“

“Kyaaak-“

Rai’s chin turns at her cute scream and her fist, and Philia jumps up with her reddened face.

As the attendants cleaning the banquet hall stare at her, Philia, her cheeks even redder, runs away with her face covered, while Rai slumps on her floor.

As if nothing had happened, the attendant sweeps in front of Rai with a broom and passes by.

‘Crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy.’

Philia, more distraught than before her drunkenness, ran into her own bedroom and hid in her bed.

Realizing what she felt earlier at the touch of her soft pillow, Philia kicks her blanket and riots until she calms down.

Hiding her reddened face in her pillow, she tried to calm her trembling heart.

Philia Serios.

This was the first time she had her heart trembled by a man.

She didn’t know yet whether it was because she liked it or because it was embarrassing.
