Taming Her Highness the Princess - Taming Her Highness the Princess chapter 14

14 – I wanted to show it (2)

Revera was sitting on the roof of the mansion where the ball was being held and looked down at the ground. I see vehicles starting to enter the front yard of the mansion one by one.

Although the scenery was not much different from usual for her, Levera felt an ominous feeling for some reason. That was also the reason for observing her guests from the roof of the mansion.

Chijik─

Then, a noise is heard from the walkie-talkie that was slung over her shoulder. As Revera pulled out her walkie-talkie, a voice came from the other side of her.

─ Captain? Can you hear me? I have something to report about the vehicle that came out of the imperial palace carrying the princess. Can i tell you?

“Yes.”

─ According to the brothers stationed on the roadside, the vehicle headed towards the cathedral as soon as it exited the tunnel. It’s the opposite of Count Mandel’s mansion, so you don’t have to worry too much.

You headed to the cathedral? I thought I would enter Mandel’s mansion, but it was an unexpected result. No, it’s not surprising, maybe this is normal.

Mandel has a bad personality, but he is good at managing things. He thoroughly hides what he is doing, so there is no way this news has reached the imperial family.

‘…… Have I become too suspicious?’

Jenny Earl’s feet might have made his nerves sensitive. Her slight insecurities were still there, and Levera did not let go of her suspicions at all.

“Just in case, strengthen the defenses around the mansion. I will also patrol briefly and then enter the mansion.”

Giving her orders, Revera slung her walkie-talkie back onto her shoulder and jumped under her roof. Its nimble movements make it resemble a cat.

Kikiiik─

A luxury sedan makes a stylish stop in the front yard of the mansion. Jeniel raised the side brake and took a moment to examine the scenery outside the window.

The lights installed outside emit colorful lights, beautifully coloring the mansion. At the entrance, aristocrats dressed in banquet clothes lined up with masks on their faces.

There were quite a few guards, but we didn’t have to worry about being caught. Not only was it magically treated so that you couldn’t see the inside of the vehicle from the outside, but you were going to be in disguise from now on.

“Your Highness. From now on, listen carefully to what I have to say.”

To disguise yourself, you must first convince Irea. It was because Jenny Earl’s plan would come true only when Ireah herself understood it.

“The ball here is basically a masquerade ball. A masquerade ball means a place where you can hide your identity and talk freely. So at this ball, I and I will take on a new identity after a little disguise. Do you understand?”

Irea nodded her head with some interest. What she liked was that she surprisingly concealed her identity.

“Good. Then, Your Highness and I will change the hair color for a while.”

Jenny Earl created magic in her hand and lightly stroked her hair. Then, her pink hair color turned to dark black.

After confirming that her hair color had changed, Jennie Earl touched her own hair and changed the color to pink.

After confirming that her hair color has changed in the rearview mirror, Jennie Earl takes out two masks from his arms. It was a butterfly-shaped mask that covered her eyes and nose.

“You can wear this as a mask.”

“…… You have prepared a lot. Be cute Did you really want to go to the prom with me?”

From noble mtl dot com

Irea, who has become conceited, approaches me in a nasty way. However, I couldn’t tell Irea the real purpose of coming to the ball, so I decided to ignore it.

“Let me tell you about my new identity and name. My name is ‘Magner Totalen’, and Her Highness should use the name ‘Celine Byres’. Both are set up as baron nobles, and the relationship is a lover.”

Ireah’s shoulders trembled as she was quietly listening to her story. Ireah asked Jennie Earl with her strangely red face.

“Ah, a lover?”

“Yes. Do you have any disagreements?”

“It’s not like that… ….”

No matter how much it is a prom, is it necessary to set her as a lover? Ireah’s mind, unable to understand her intentions, went into confusion, but Jennie Earl remained calm.

The reason why the relationship was set up as a lover was to bury it as smoothly as possible at this ball. If someone asks you about it and pretends to be your lover, they usually don’t dig deeper.

“Then let’s go into the mansion soon.”

Jeniel gets out of the car wearing a mask on his face. He then walked to the passenger seat, opened her door, and held out her hand to Irea.

After a moment of hesitation, Ireah refuses Jennie Earl’s favor and she gets out of her vehicle on her own. However, her posture was oddly awkward, so Jen Earl grabbed her hand to ease the tension in her Irea.

“…… !”

Her problem is that the act made Ireah’s body even more stiff. The sight of her standing upright with her eyes wide open made her look as if she had been struck by lightning.

“Your Highness?”

She asked why she was doing this, but Ireah only lowered her gaze while sweating profusely. It was only embarrassing for Jenny Earl that she even let out a faint moan through her teeth.

“If you are sick, please tell me.”

She asked if there was a problem with her health, but Ireah just shook her head. It was Jennie Earl who was still puzzled, but she couldn’t delay her time any longer, so she moved on.

As she approached the entrance of her mansion with Irea, who was as hard as a wooden stone, a man with her stout body smiled broadly and spread both of her hands.

“Blessings on the vast night of the Empire! Welcome to the Masquerade. I need to make sure you are an invited guest, so could you pass me the invitation?”

“Ah! It’s an invitation wait a moment.”

Jeniel, who was rummaging through the inside pocket of his tail coat, smiled and took out a piece of jewelry. At first glance, it was a piece of jewelry that seemed to be worth a fortune.

“Here, take it. This invitation will be yours from now on.”

It was a bribe to ask permission to enter. The man swallowed her saliva, confirmed that there were no eyes around him, and accepted the jewelry that Jennie Earl was handing over.

“Hey, hehehe! I checked the invitation, so please eat inside. I wish you a pleasant day.”

“Thank you.”

As her man got out of her way, Jennie Earl took Ireah into the mansion. The classical melodies, which sounded faintly, echoed louder, and the whole view of the mansion came in full with both eyes.

Under the splendid chandeliers decorating the ceiling, banquet tables with all sorts of delicacies are lined up.

All those who attended the ball wore masks and expensive-looking dresses and suits. It was a dazzlingly splendid hall, but it was disgusting to Jeniel.

‘Not all of them are normal.’

The purpose of those gathered here is not to enjoy a prom. Their real purpose is to attend Mandel’s slave auction after the ball.

It was clear that they were fine on the outside but rotten and rotten on the inside.

‘Once… ….’

Severe punishment for the nobles who attended the ball was a later matter. The first thing was to collect evidence that Mandel was conducting a slave auction.

To do that, I had to be away from Irea for a while. It is difficult to collect evidence with Irea because it increases the chances of getting caught.

Looking around, once again confirming that no one had noticed the identity of this side, Jeniel turned to Irea.

“Your Highness. I’m not feeling well right now, so I’m going to the bathroom. Would you mind?”

Irea, who had been stiff the whole time, came to her senses. Ireah, who raised her head as if nothing was wrong, let out a clearing of her throat.

“Yes, let it be.”

“Are you really going to be okay by yourself?”

Why do you bother asking twice? Irea, who thought that she was being ignored somewhere, answered rather bluntly.

“Do you know what kind of child I am? I’ve been through dozens of proms like this, so it’s no big deal.”

It’s a lie. Irea had experienced at most three prom so far. Even that prom was all she attended as a child holding her father’s hand.

“Okay. She will be back soon.”

Anyway, it was a lie, so Jeniel moved on without saying anything. A low sigh escapes from Irea’s mouth as she watches Jeniel walk away.

‘…… It was stupid.’

You don’t know how surprised Jenny Earl suddenly grabbed his hand. He was scared and pounding, so he couldn’t open his words for a long time and just followed him.

He was strangely indignant because it seemed like he had lost to Jennie Earl. So this time she was going to show off her prom skills and give the relationship an upper hand.

‘I’m sure you’ll be surprised when I come back from the bathroom and I’m having a fluent conversation with other people.’

It was a golden opportunity to get rid of the stigma of poor sociability. She laughed and listened to the stories around her to carry out her plan. She is trying to find a topic of conversation in which she can engage.

“I heard there is a new subway in Jedo this time, have you tried it? She told an acquaintance that it was very convenient to hear.”

“I don’t like the subway very much. More than anything, I feel very uncomfortable about having to spend time with common people in one place.”

What is the subway? I don’t know, so let’s move on to other people’s conversations.

“This is crazy. She bought newly issued stock from the Merchants’ Guild, but a cargo ship sank while crossing the sea. Seriously, these assholes don’t do anything right!”

“This is unfortunate news. Didn’t I tell you that before? If you have money to buy stocks, put it in the bank or buy art.”

I get dizzy just hearing about money. Next!

“So when he goes to bed, he’s so anxious to eat me? If you have a chance, try feeding her husband some eels and oysters. It’s really different.”

“Ehh. Her wife is in sight. Her husband is tall and handsome, so the bed will be fun, but my husband…… It’s ugly, and it’s small, but it’s how quickly it’s packed.”

…… No naughty things! Even if she just listened to the story, her face would automatically turn red, but there was no way she could join the conversation.

Even if you eavesdrop on other conversations, there was only one topic that gave off a strong scent of adults. As a result, Irea felt as if she was alone and isolated in this large ball.

With the loss of confidence, everything about the fancy ball comes frighteningly close. Ireah unconsciously bit her lower lip and put her hands together nervously like a child searching for her parents.

‘When are you coming? You said you’d come soon…….’

It’s been less than five minutes since Jenial left, but Irea’s vacancy was approaching too greatly.
