Absolutely Do Not Touch Eldmia Egga - Chapter 168

Yes, I knew this sight.

If you are a Korean man, most of you share the same fundamental fuck.

army. and combat equipment command inspection. In short, full equipment.

The memories of that time come to mind from the workers moving in perfect order right in front of my eyes.

“I have prepared bath water and clothes to change into.”

The gap between the calm and competent maid who responds with normal movements and those who run around like real mad dogs is at the level of a movie director. It’s like you’ve turned the people around you at 3x speed.

“Ah, yes.”

I went upstairs, smelling the familiar reverberations of PTSD felt by strangers. After this is over, they will make a fuss about moving the furniture out again, right? Watching her suffer because of the once-in-a-lifetime visit of the imperial princess to the temporary detention center reminds me of my discharge day.

“I was really, really happy.”

Unlike me, who was relaxed because an emergency training situation occurred on the day of the campaign, the appearance of the entire unit busy preparing for the mobilization remains as one of the wonderful memories in my life.

“Even after making it luxurious like this, I have to say more when high-ranking people come. This kind of thing seems to be the same everywhere.”

Of course, that has nothing to do with me. I decided to just focus on washing clean.

Actually, it wasn’t even sweaty training, so I just went into the warm water and cried out, but anyway, after washing and changing into my daily clothes, Esmuer arrived.

Coming down to the first floor with the maid, Esmuer, wearing the purple robe he saw last time, walks in among the aristocrats standing close together in the lobby, which is neither narrow nor wide.

The only difference was that he was wearing a very hairy cape. The cloak, which seemed to shout Winter is Coming any minute, looked very warm, but it seemed a bit large to Esmuer, and the weight seemed burdensome. She came in with a very calm expression and looked around the lobby, then her eyes moved to me, who was still descending the stairs.

“Hmm, I’m sorry. You seem to be doing well, Eldmia.”

It seems like less than a week has passed since I came back from the empire, but it feels like meeting her after a month, just like she said in the letter. Looking back, I really did run around so hard.

“It doesn’t seem like a week has passed, but it’s nice to see you again, Esmuet. It’s a pity that it wasn’t a pleasant event.”

At my attitude toward Esmuier, everyone in the kingdom, except for the visitors to the empire, flinched. But Esmuer lightly held out his hand toward me as I came down to the first floor and asked for an escort.

“It’s pleasant enough for you. It’s a short time before heading to the royal palace, so let’s talk about something important.”

In the meantime, the maid who casually approaches Esmuer and hands over the cloak she was wearing is still calm. Just like a thief in a movie stealing earrings and necklaces without knowing the wearer, the natural movement like flowing water made me look at them with my eyes wide open without realizing it.

“Hmm. He’s a competent maid. To be honest, he was so tidy that I wondered if he’d just pushed in the furniture in moderation, but looking at him, it seems he was just a fool.”

I wince and once again the nobles cause a match. To be honest, I wanted to put shit on the faces of the nobles, but even though the blame lies on them, it’s the people below them who suffer, so I decided to keep my mouth shut and only talk about the truth.

“He’s also excellent at cooking. Thanks to him, I’m living without any inconvenience.”

At my answer, some nobles sent eyes of emotion, but they didn’t pay any attention.

Even the furniture in the back kitchen was almost completely polished, but don’t even look at it and take it as an apology for going up to the second floor… Even if you didn’t see the servants running around, you would have said that the furniture had changed when you came out after washing.

After climbing the stairs like that, the visor was lowered and two fully armed black knights pretended to block the stairs. And then Esmuer opened his mouth as usual in a small voice.

“The subject brought to the temporary detention center was protected and talked about it, so I decided to come here, but the treatment is better than I thought.”

“Uh, right? I was a little taken aback at first too. It was very different from Ragnis.”

“Have you not been treated badly or done anything differently?”

“Rather, I’m taking it too seriously. I wonder if this makes sense compared to what I’ve done.”

I know why. Thanks to Esmuera’s huge belly. I didn’t expect that the trip to the Empire, which I had just followed with the feeling of helping Ragnis, would bring about such a big change, but in many ways, it’s a positive change, so I just accept it gratefully.

“I’m just responding wisely to the royal family who has endured 7 years against the demons. Even this is just being very careful because you jumped ahead and ran amok. I would have received it.”

“It’s terrible.”

When I was genuinely fed up with it, Esmuer smiled lightly at my reaction.

“It’s not like he doesn’t have manly aspirations, but he’s truly a man without greed.”

“Why can’t I be greedy? I just hate being used. That’s how I got into trouble this time too.”

“Whoops. I want to hear what happened all night long, but I’m really sorry that the situation is not going well right now.”

The second floor was empty anyway, but after entering the room and using some kind of magic to check the surroundings, Esmuer got to the point. Wait a minute, I think that confirmed some wiretapping or surveillance magic?

“Didn’t you just check to see if there’s an eavesdropping on that?”

“Huh? Is that so?”

“If there was an eavesdropping, the conversation from just before…?”

“Huh. What’s in front of you is Yeo. Rather, it’s natural that this was an act taken in the hope that there would be an opportunity to eavesdrop on it and use it in reverse.”

I was at a loss for words in response to the question of asking something obvious.

“It was a conversation that gave only a hint of a friendly relationship, so it’s not like you’re breaking the treaty. Rather than that, it’s more important to know in advance what actions you will take at leisure in the royal family and what the consequences will be, so hurry up and sit down.”

I sat down on the edge of the bed, intending to listen seriously to Esmuer’s stern attitude, tapping the bed with my small hands.

Then Esmuer, who sat sideways on my lap, hugged me as if it were very natural.

“…Esmuë?”

When I called Hamzzi, who was groaning as if he was satisfied after he had done a great thing calmly, a rather bold answer came back.

“It’s natural that there is a reward like this when you go out on your own. You can listen as it is.”

The problem is that the bold answer is a cowardly fact, so there is nothing to say.

“To be honest, you will not suffer any damage from this incident. Neither will your surroundings. But you will not gain anything.”

“What can I get?”

“Honor, reward, power. Or official congratulations?”

“I’m a bit disappointed with the compensation, but I don’t need the rest.”

If you got something like that, where would you use it? I’m not going to the academy, I’m going to the battlefield.

Esmuer’s shoulders trembled and he smiled as he answered casually.

“I knew that. Well, that’s a story limited to Isthel, and you still have a lot to receive from the Empire, so it’s not a big deal.”

“You say great things without thinking about them.”

“There’s no reason why you can’t tell the truth.”

At the same time, it was Esmuer who dissatisfiedly dragged my arm, which had been idle, and placed it around my waist as if to hug him. I hug Ashlie without any hesitation without being conscious of it, but it’s not easy for the other kids.

“I will go out strong. I’m more interested in you than anyone else, so if you don’t need it, I’ll go out like that. If you do that much, the movement to use you politically will subside.”

If it was simply a fight within the kingdom, there would surely be a movement to use other methods and take advantage of the move as if I was just going out. Whether it’s for self-interest or for the public good, I wouldn’t care at all, but there would have been an attempt. If even that didn’t work, there must have been a way to kick me out in a less radical form.

But now I can’t. Right now, the only option for the serpents in politics is to embrace me but not touch me. It’s not even a very difficult reason.

It may not have been the intended direction, but the Empire directly invited Ragnis and raised her symbolism. And the achievements of the attendant were also praised without hesitation. The fact that those who sent them back smiling like that are treated badly as soon as they return is a story that is no different from spitting in the face of the empire.

In a situation where you don’t like that alone, even a traitor who is harmful to the kingdom is caught, ‘If you’re going to treat it that way, give it to me. I’ll take it and raise it.’ He said, ‘Oh, I don’t need this crazy dog, so take it.’

It’s because it showed a pro-imperial move, and the kingdom can make an excuse that it doesn’t see the empire very well, and it can come out that it can’t even refute it. Even if you look at the materials the Empire has supported the kingdom for the past 7 years, it would be an enormous level, but if such rumors circulate, the Empire’s support becomes opaque, so of course it becomes the first choice to avoid.

However, if you touch it halfway, you can become a Wilson mk2 overnight like Enbelde. Of course, I move within reasonable reasons, but in their eyes, I’m just a madman, so it’s a sufficient threat.

So, is there a star? ‘Oh no. We have no intention of abandoning such a good dog.’

With this, I am the completion of the unscathed world.

I committed it with the determination to be cumbersome, but it is true that it is organized much more easily and concisely thanks to Esmu, so I have no choice but to be grateful.

Although I was a little embarrassed, I gave Esmuer a hug with a bit of strength and gratitude.

“Go, why are you suddenly like this!”

“Thank you.”

I hope the day will come when I can properly repay this consideration.
