Chapter 24: More perverts.

 

“…I had a bad day.”

 

When I returned to the mansion, covered in mud, I was greeted by Theodore-sama, Europa-sama, and Cain-kun.

 

“Evelyn-sama, where the hell have you been all this time…! ? I looked all over the city, but I couldn’t find you!”

 

I shook my head at Theodore-sama, who looked at me apologetically.

 

Cain-kun must have gone back to the Manilas residence immediately after that and called for backup.

 

But at that time – when he rushed in with Theodore-sama and the others, there was no sign of me and Kira.

 

(It’s not Theodore-sama and the others’ fault.)

 

I turned around languidly. The person with the folded arms aloofly noticed my gaze and opened his mouth to say, “Oh.”

 

“I’m sorry. I got a little lost.”

 

I bared my fangs at His Highness Igna’s brashness.

 

“A little! It’s been a day since I got stuck in the mud!”

 

“In a person’s lifetime, a day is a trivial thing.”

 

(I’m getting angry…!)

 

Yesterday, I was rescued from the bottomless swamp by His Highness Igna, who appeared with the knights.

 

My former fiancé, His Highness Alex’s younger brother by five years – His Highness Igna.

 

I had never spoken to him directly, but I had seen him several times from afar.

 

When I introduced myself, he readily believed that I was the

 

Saint.

 

Apparently, there is a great commotion in the Great Temple due to my absence.

 

Does this mean that you have come to bring me back? When I wondered and asked why he had come to the city of Shem, His Highness Igna replied without expression.

 

“I heard that my fiancée, Europa, was coming to this city, so I came to pick her up.”

 

I was surprised to hear that.

 

I didn’t know that His Highness Igna was Europa-sama’s fiancé.

 

(I see. So Theodore-sama and Europa-sama are not lovers after all.)

 

Hearing this, for some reason, I felt relieved, and Kira and I tried to head to the Manilas mansion with His Highness Igna.

 

(…His Highness Igna had no sense of direction…)

 

In the first place, His Highness Igna must have traveled from the royal capital.

 

It was strange that he was near the forest in the opposite direction when he should have been heading towards the Manilas Mansion.

 

However, he confidently led us into the labyrinth.

 

(“Once we got into the forest, we were at the Manilas residence in no time. It’s common knowledge in the city of Shem.” Or, “Frightening beast of a road, isn’t it? I mean, this is the shortcut. I knew he was saying a lot of crazy things, but…)

 

The surrounding knights looked tired, but said, “Your Highness is right!” I don’t think you should indulge him. He really gave us a hard time.

 

Fortunately, after a day of walking, we managed to come back to the familiar mansion. If I had just wandered around in the forest, it would have been the end.

 

Theodore-sama gently grabbed my shoulder as I was vaguely thinking with my exhausted mind.

 

He didn’t even mind getting his own hands dirty, and the way he lowered his eyebrows and looked worried almost brought tears to my eyes.

 

“Evelyn-sama, how you labor……! I will have the servants prepare it right away, so please take a bath first.

 

“Theodore-sama…!”

 

“Your clothes will be ready soon. I’m sure you’re tired, so after your meal, please go to your room to rest…”

 

Theodore was suddenly pushed away by a hand that reached out from his side.

 

“Uwa!”

 

Theodore-sama falls into the stream next to the mansion.

 

Instead, Europa-sama squeezed my hand and spoke to me with a flush on her lovely face.

 

“It is a crime to be beautiful even when covered in mud. Evelyn-sama! You are far too useful to be mud! I could have legally attached myself to Evelyn-sama’s body if I wanted to! but I’ll have to be born as mud in my next life!”

 

“Europa!”

 

“… Ara? Igna-sama?”

 

His Highness Igna called out sharply from behind me.

 

Then, Europa-sama tilted her head as if she had just noticed him.

 

“Playing around in a place like this ha~a I really envy you princes, because you seem to have so much free time on your hands. Go take a dump and sleep in the comfort of your own home.”

 

“Guh…!” .

 

His Highness Igna kneels down on the spot, probably shocked by his fiancée’s cold words.

 

Stunned by the words that were too rude to be said to royalty, His Highness Igna shook his body without giving any punishment to Europa-sama.

 

“Your Highness Igna?”

 

I was startled. It was because there was a large amount of blood dripping on the ground at his feet.

 

However, when His Highness Igna looked up while holding his nose, he had a look of ecstatic joy on his face.

 

“You’re my ideal woman, Europa!”

 

(Bad sign!)

 

Why is he breathing hard and excited after being cursed at?

 

The knights of the Royal Guard around him were also offering him a cloth in a familiar manner, so I wondered if it was always like this.

 

(I mean, this feeling seems to be similar to someone else…)

 

Then, Europa-sama narrowed her eyes and spat out.

 

“That’s disgusting.”

 

(You’re just like him, aren’t you! ?)

 

They were quite similar. It was probably too much of a resemblance to be a fiancé.

 

Overwhelmed, Europa-sama turned around and jumped in front of Kira, who was standing behind me, while His Highness Igna remained motionless.

 

“I don’t care about Igna-sama. Kira-kun, I really want to apologize to you…”

 

“… I don’t care.”

 

(Kira pulled out!)

 

“I really don’t care about it. So don’t worry about that either.”

 

“Kira-kun… I’m sorry, but thank you very much. And I have a question for you as well.”

 

Europa-sama smiled. However, a chillingly cold voice emanated from her lips.

 

“What is your relationship with Evelyn-sama?”

 

“N-Nothing special.”

 

“I don’t think it’s nothing. I heard that the two of you were living together in a room in an inn. I was so envious that I couldn’t sleep a wink last night. How does it feel to see Evelyn-sama’s pretty sleeping face and hear her pure sleeping sound as she sleeps? Hey, how does it feel?”

 

“…Evelyn.”

 

Kira looked at me with a troubled look on his face.

 

I was so happy that my little friend had asked me for help, had called me by name, and I wanted to help him.

 

“Europa-sama, Kira is my first (friend)!”

 

“I’ll get rid of you. Bon voyage, Kira-kun.”

 

(Get rid of him!)

 

Hearing those boisterous words, I hurriedly hugged Europa-sama from behind.

 

“Wait, Lady Europa! Kira is my precious child!”

 

“Wa, wah wah…! ? I’m being hugged by Evelyn-sama right now! ? I guess I really can be reborn in the mud if I wish! !”

 

“Europa, we need to get you to the hospital! It’s not too late!

 

Theodore-sama, who had come up from the creek, took Europa in; but she continued to whimper, and flail.

 

Meanwhile, his Highness Igna continued to stare at Europa with passionate eyes.

 

In the face of such a catastrophe – Kira’s face twisted and he sighed loudly.

 

“Are there only wackos in this country?”

 

I nodded in agreement, but Kira gave me a blank stare. Why?
