Offering Tribute to the Archmage Chapter 192

leash [1]

Episode 192.

For the nobility, marriage is one of the effective political tools.

Among school ties, regional ties, and blood ties, isn’t blood ties the best? The alliances formed between families through blood are bound to be deeper than anything else.

Beatrice asking Ronnove to marry her was not much different.

The reality of this era is that royal blood relatives are sold off to foreign countries and become a kind of device to maintain alliances.

Beatrice was one of those women who knew her situation very well.

“Have you fallen in love with my face?”

Of course, Ronobe didn’t know that.

When he suddenly asked me to marry him, the only thing on my mind, as befitting a man of his age, was the passionate love and desire they displayed in bed.

To be honest, as he got older, Ronobe’s appearance, which had been like a dog food bowl, was really starting to improve. This was a side effect of shedding his skin, but in any case, his face was changing into one with thin lines and minimal curves.

“No, I like a manly man. There’s no way I’d fall for someone as short as you and with a girly face.”

“I don’t like women like Seonmaesum either.”

“That’s a compliment to me. Thank you.”

Ronobe’s ball was squeaky.

She was an annoying woman.

Beatrice smiled and lit incense.

“Do you want to be a man?”

“I would have liked to have been one if I could have. But I was born a woman, so there’s nothing I can do about it. I don’t want to be used as a political tool by my father, and I don’t want to get involved in the factional strife between my older and younger brothers.”

“So, will you marry me?”

That’s what it said.

“I have a bit of a strong personality, but I intend to do my duty as a wife. I can have many children because I have a strong body. Since you and I are both excellent magicians, it would be good to have many children. Please cooperate.”

If someone saw them, they would have thought they were already engaged.

I assumed that since I didn’t express my intention to refuse, he would naturally accept.

“No, I’m married?”

“I know. But you’re a commoner. You don’t have any family background. If you marry me, I can make you my second wife later.”

It’s like it doesn’t matter.

But it was never the way Ronobe had hoped.

“Let’s just pretend that story never happened.”

“… why?”

“I love my wife.”

I’m serious.

Although he likes Elicia too, there is no love that takes priority over Benny for Ronobe.

“Love is nothing more than a temporary brainwashing. People are weak creatures who are controlled by emotions. It is natural to be controlled by such emotions when you have sex. You are still young and inexperienced, so it is natural. But you are a wizard. Wizards live for over a hundred years.”

Wizards live long.

This is especially true the more talented you are.

Eschwald has lived for four hundred years.

The general view was that Ronobe was also likely to do so.

“You and I both have talent. We can probably live for two hundred years. We age slowly. How about considering the feelings of a wife who is aging alone?”

“My wife is a knight.”

“That’s better. Knights die quickly. Knights don’t have long lives.”

“yes?”

“Didn’t you know? The reason why wizards live long is because they produce miracles. But knights store them inside their bodies. Thanks to this, their bodies can exert great strength, but their lifespans are bound to be shorter. It’s a natural logic.”

It was something new I learned.

I had no idea.

But nothing changed.

Ronobe bit his lips tightly.

“Even so… nothing will change. If Benny’s life is short, I thought I should treat him better than I am doing now.”

They told me to throw it away because its lifespan is short.

That was nonsense.

It’s an extremely aristocratic mindset. Ronobe is a noble, but he wasn’t born a noble. I couldn’t agree with that kind of thinking.

“You’re young.”

Beatrice laughed as if it was ridiculous.

“Then why does the princess want to marry me?”

“I told you earlier.”

“If that’s the case, there are probably many other good opponents.”

Beatrice kept her mouth shut.

Thinking he had nothing more to say, Ronobe stood up from his seat.

But the princess’s knight seemed unwilling to let him go quietly.

Slurp.

“Baron Hopper. The princess’s story isn’t over yet.”

This was the article.

If you are capable of protecting the princess, you must have strong family support as well as skills.

The medal worn on his chest is also white.

He was an elite among the elite.

As Ronobe’s gaze turned cold, the knight gave a calm warning.

“No matter how powerful a wizard is, he cannot defeat a knight in close combat. I do not wish to resort to violence, so please take a seat.”

His speech was polite, but his actions were rude.

Even though the White Spear’s status is equal to that of a Baron, he dared to put his sword to Ronobe’s neck.

“That must be because you met a wizard who is only of that level.”

There was no need to use any special magic.

While using the bubble, Ronobe strengthened his neck defense and froze the knight’s entire body, starting with his sword.

A water-soaked thread stretched out from Ronobe’s hand and strangled the knight’s neck.

“Did you think that since you were the princess’s escort and had family support, you would just let this level of rudeness slide? Unfortunately, I’m not the type of person to nitpick every little thing.”

“Ugh!”

I just came back from prison.

The kingdom is trying its best to expose his weaknesses and put all kinds of leashes on him.

In the midst of all this, the princess came and even ignored the commoner’s wife. No matter how foolish Ronobe is usually, he is not so foolish as to act foolishly in this situation.

Ronobe is powerful. Power that even the kingdom fears and tries to put a leash on him.

The time when the nobles would cower in fear of the powerful is slowly passing.

It was a time when he was becoming increasingly frustrated with the world and fate surrounding him.

The thread of the rope tightened around the knight’s neck.

The knight’s groans grew louder.

Just as she began to feel the fear of death, the princess stepped forward.

“Kelly. You overdid it. He could have easily become a black wizard if he had just taken the sparring test without breaking the mirror.”

Beatrice apologized to him.

“My article was rude. I apologize.”

“…”

Only then did the snorting Ronobé release the neck of the knight named Kelly and melt the ice.

“Can we start the story again?”

“… I see.”

Even if you ignore me after doing this, Ronobe will be in trouble. I already caused trouble and went to jail, so I can’t go back there.

The kingdom still did not trust Ronobe, and Ronobe did not yet have the strength to act in a arrogant manner against the kingdom.

“I said there would be many other good opponents. I was wrong. There is no one more suitable as my opponent than you.”

“What is the reason?”

“Because you’re a black wizard.”

“I’m white.”

“That’s superficial. Some officials don’t suspect that you’re black. You’re the one who single-handedly defeated the owner of the black mirror and then broke the mirror. Even without the puppet-like sparring test, your skills have already been proven sufficiently.”

He is the one who first broke the door of proof. If he is not black, then who is black?

“Right now, you’re talking too much and causing too much trouble, so the kingdom won’t acknowledge you. But after some time passes and you prove your abilities again, they’ll acknowledge you as a black person even if they don’t want to. Because you deserve it.”

“Is that the reason?”

“The color black has a great significance in the kingdom. You can see it even by looking at Marquis Bane. He is His Majesty’s closest confidant, but he maintains his own authority. He leads the kingdom’s magic in place of Lord Ashwald, who never shows his face. You will soon become that kind of person. And I just want to be by your side, supporting you and carrying out my will to the fullest.”

It was for a very calculated reason.

Actually, it was better to be honest.

“What does it mean to unfold one’s intentions?”

“I’m a wizard too. I just want to devote my time entirely to studying magic rather than wasting it as a tool for power struggles. And…”

Beatrice blushed slightly.

“I like a man who is stronger than me.”

hmm.

Ronobe’s mood lightened a little.

‘It would be rude to ask if you have hair.’

But with or without her, Ronobe has no intention of consenting to marry her.

“I have already made peace with the Lord of Gradas.”

Benny is a semi-noble, but Elysia is a true noble. I intend to marry her as a lord, but I can’t marry Beatrice either.

It was absurd even for a Ronobe, and it was impossible for her, a princess. Marriage was not something that individuals could do. It required the permission of the family.

Her family, being of royal blood, would not allow this.

“Whew, that’s not easy.”

“…”

“As you said, both you and I have our own circumstances, so it’ll be difficult. Let’s stop talking about this. It seems like we’re not making any progress anyway.”

The princess gave up.

That was fortunate.

“I’ve lost my ability to persuade. This isn’t my specialty. I’ve always been the type to do things and then see for myself.”

“yes?”

Beatrice took off her blindfold.

Blue-gray eyes with scars that looked like they had been scratched by a beast looked at Ronobe.

“Torn gaze.”

“Ugh!”

Ronobe’s body was bound.

The invisible gaze itself made my body stiffen.

“Kelly.”

“Let’s take a look at the net.”

The knight closed the door and left.

This is the princess’s bedroom.

Beatrice threw the bound Ronobé onto the bed and climbed on top of him.

“What, what is it!”

“I told you earlier. Love is a temporary brainwashing. I’m going to brainwash you from now on.”

It was an unfamiliar bondage. Something intangible was oppressing my body.

But using magic like Bane in the Mirror didn’t seem difficult.

But the opponent is a princess.

Beatrice threw off her flowing dress.

The princess’s flesh was exposed to the public.

As expected, a princess is a princess.

It was wonderful everywhere.

“Don’t even think about using magic to get me away. If you are rejected like that, even I would be miserable. If the current situation gets out and it becomes known that you used magic, it will be you who will be in danger, not me. After all, you are hated by the kingdom right now.”

That’s right.

What if someone came looking for the princess of a country and Ronobe in that situation? First of all, it is true that Ronobe is in danger.

“This is wrong! Why are you doing this!”

“If I can’t get married, I’ll become your government and create a connection between us. Don’t worry. It’s the first time, but the royal bloodline will definitely receive education.”

Beatrice smiled with satisfaction as she looked at his solid body.

“Oh, that won’t work…”

Even though I said no, my lower body was still aching.

Come to think of it, I think it might be because the princess was burning a strange incense.

The princess’s naked body, with her corset ripped off, was quite magnificent.

“ah…”

The smell made my head feel weird.

My head feels dizzy.

‘Not marriage, but a mistress.’

Honestly, is there any reason to turn this down?

A man and a woman can do it once, so why do we need such a grand reason?

My head hurt.

When Ronobe had a headache, he went to bed to relieve it.

It was an instinctive conclusion.

*

Beatrice von Ageha Bright.

Although she was a princess born of royal blood, she was a little different from the average princess.

She was a woman who enjoyed hunting and horseback riding more than learning and etiquette.

She was smart and brave, just like a man, so if she had been born a prince instead of a princess, she would have been a great successor, and many nobles felt sorry for her.

It was because of that manly temperament that she was able to obtain magic.

She was so absorbed in hunting that she abandoned her escort and was ambushed by a unicorn, which resulted in her losing one of her eyes.

If it weren’t for the magic that manifested at the same time as losing her eyes, the princess would have certainly died that day. On the other hand, the thought that the princess’s rampage would now calm down a little bit took hold in a corner of her mind.

But from then on, the princess’s strange behavior became worse by the day.

Her eccentricities, which deviated from the typical princess behavior, became increasingly severe.

He would hide in the mountains for months, saying he would create an artifact, or invite witches to share their magical knowledge and learn strange magic. He was often reprimanded for this, but he would act even more selfishly every time.

I realized it.

That it is simpler and easier to ask for forgiveness than to persuade.

The current situation was similar.

Objectively speaking, Beatrice is a character with outstanding feminine charm.

Even if she hadn’t injured one eye, she would have been a beautiful woman who would have been proposed to in marriage by many kingdoms. Because she was active, her body was elastic, and her characteristic light pink hair was attractive.

Moreover, her active personality did not hold back in her relationships with men and women.

It was her first time doing something like this, but like a smart woman, she quickly got used to it and figured it out on her own by observing the other person’s reaction and scratching the ticklish corners.

But one thing even she didn’t expect was that the man, who was younger than her, had stronger stamina than she had expected.

What I thought would be over in a moment didn’t end even after a day and a half, and as a result, an unfamiliar high-pitched sound burst out from the princess’s mouth, which usually acted like a man and spoke in a somewhat low voice.

It was a pleasure that she could not bear no matter how hard she tried, and the unfamiliar pain and the thrilling pleasure that came like an aftershock at the same time was something that turned a part of her life upside down.

Only after a full day did the man and woman, panting like animals, come to their senses.

“Ahem.”

“…”

The princess who had been like a man had gone, and only the woman whose face was red with embarrassment remained in the bed. The woman was embarrassed. She had not known that she would howl and pant like a bitch. A shame she had never felt and a satisfaction she had never felt before were both welling up inside her. Ronobe glanced at the princess who had become a complete woman and smiled awkwardly.

“The princess is right.”

People were surprisingly simple.

Even if he had no feelings for her, he developed a gentle affection after getting physically involved. Of course, it was a very weak affection compared to Benny and Elicia. However, as is the case with men, he could not remain indifferent to the woman he was in love with forever. The fact that their compatibility was not bad also played a part.

“then…”

The dreamlike night is over.

Now it’s time to return to each other’s positions.

“wait for a sec.”

Beatrice stopped Ronobé.

“Kelly. That.”

“… yes.”

The knight standing outside the door glared at Ronobe and then brought something out.

“What is this?”

“You, a cane.”

“Is it an artifact?”

“Similar… It’s a staff that I worked hard to make for myself. It’s similar to the grimoire, but different. It increases the power of miracles.”

“Increase… but why are you using formal language…”

Beatrice coughed.

“Ahem. I heard you’re going north. The north is a cold and dangerous place. You might even get caught up in a battle with orcs if you stay there. It’s really precious. You can’t get it even with money.”

It was a wand made by Beatrice herself.

It was also something that was actually made but never really used.

But even if it was useless to her, it wasn’t to Ronobe.

“Are you giving it to me?”

“I’m lending it to you. I made it for my own use. When I return from the North… I’ll make it for you.”

‘For you only…’

There was a resonance in the words.

A sound that evokes strange imagination.

The image of the princess who looked sullen and shy suddenly changed to that of a shy maiden. Ronobe also turned his gaze and answered.

“okay.”

Dawn was breaking.

But the escort closed the door again.

It took quite a while for the closed door to open again.
