Taming Her Highness the Princess - Taming Her Highness the Princess chapter 29

29 – Presidency

The next morning, as soon as the day dawned, Jenial got ready and headed to Yeonhwa Palace. Since it was the day after the accident, he should have taken a break as a rule, but now was not the time to relax.

‘In a few days, the government meeting will begin.’

In the past, Irea closed the door to her heart and distanced herself from people. He kept aloof from people, he didn’t know how to treat people, and he didn’t know how to treat people, so he couldn’t distinguish between loyalists and crooks.

Since he could not distinguish between loyalists and treacherous subjects, he did not know how to properly look at talented people.

After that, the empire fell into the hands of Jeokwolseong and went down the path of decline. So, I had to prepare well for this royal council and somehow prevent Irea’s heart from breaking.

‘Even if I can’t defeat the prince…….’

At the very least, Irea had to show that she had grown up to the high official and the emperor. Because it was Jeniel’s goal to silence those who would become enemies to Irea.

With such thoughts in mind, Jenial stepped into the front yard of the Lotus Palace and couldn’t help but smile. Even though it wasn’t class time yet, Irea was sparring with Ruinel.

“I will go, Your Highness!”

“Yes! Come in!”

Ruinel, who hit the ground, quickly closed the distance and thrust out his sword. Its speed was fast enough to be said to be a model for knights, but Ireah easily avoided it by lowering her head.

Not stopping there, Irea digs into Ruinel’s arms. Ruinel grabbed the sword in reverse and tried to block Irea, but it was useless.

Huwoong─

Irea, who caused a light wind, disappears. It was only when he looked back at the trembling Ruinel that he noticed that Irea had deployed a space movement far away.

Ruinel let out a somewhat dejected breath and laid his wooden sword on the floor. Watching Irea grow differently day by day after starting the sparring, I felt a lot of emotions in many ways.

“Your Highness! Your movements are more flexible!”

When Ruinel gave a loud compliment, Irea burst into laughter.

“Isn’t it? I’m sure the professor will like this, right?”

“Of course, Your Highness.”

Irea is startled by the voice of Jennie Earl, not Louis Nell, and turns to her side. Jenny Earl, who was not sure when she was there, was looking at Ireah as if she was proud of her.

“As Ruinel said, your movements have become much more flexible, and the speed at which you deploy space movement magic is clean and unnecessarily. If we keep going like this, it won’t be impossible to give His Highness the Prince a shot at the Imperial Palace.”

Jeniel’s praise makes me feel good. Ireah, who was dazed for a moment, stamped her bottom with the tip of her wooden sword and proudly opened her chest.

“Whoops. If you’re proud of me, can you compliment me a bit more?”

“Huang Gong Hao, but I have nothing more to praise.”

“Ummm… ….”

I feel ashamed for nothing because I have nothing to say when Jenial comes out resolutely. If I give her a compliment, even with empty words, where does she come from? Irea, who mumbled inside her, took her wooden sword.

Anyway, it looks like it’s pouting. Jennie Earl, who could clearly see the emotions contained in her actions, decided to lose to her Ireah once.

“I have one more thing to commend you on. To be honest, as a teacher, I couldn’t help but marvel at how engrossed in sparring before I came.”

With one compliment from her, Ireah’s expression brightens again. She was a truly easy-going woman. Irea shrugged her shoulders once, saying ahem.

“Because I can’t be easily defeated by my older brother. I want to show those picky ministers that I am a person who can do what I want to do.”

“You have the right attitude. If you keep working hard like this, you will definitely get good results.”

“Of course…… Oh.”

Come to think of it, there was something I wanted to ask when the professor came. Recalling what happened yesterday, Ireah asked a question with her worried face.

“Is Radne okay? You seem to have been very surprised to suddenly be attacked by a Golem from the Holy Land.”

“Radne is fine. Because he wasn’t hurt at all. Regarding this, Radne has decided to become my assistant teacher from today and take care of lodging at Malaig Mansion.”

Irea’s face is somewhat blank.

“Yes? So now…… Are you saying Radne ended up living in the professor’s mansion?”

“Inevitably, yes.”

I see. Irea, who murmured softly, nodded her head. She seemed to have darkened Ireah’s expression for an instant, but Jennie Earl didn’t notice because she was only for a moment.

“Your Highness. If your curiosity has been satisfied, can we start the class now?”

“Huh? Ah yes. Can I repeat sparring with Luinel?”

“Yes. As a bonus, it would be good to increase the total amount of mana that can be used to implement magic by operating mana in real time when resting after sparring.”

“A bellbird? If that’s the case, I can easily make 20 of them now. I practiced even when the professor was not around.”

“Twenty dogs are still a bit short. You will have to work a little harder to deal with His Highness the Prince.”

I put a lot of effort into the 20, but I’m exhausted when they say it’s still not enough. Still, thinking that her professor’s teachings would not be in vain, Ireah nodded her head confidently.

“Okay. I will try harder until the eomjeon-eui arrives.”

“I am just grateful to you for doing so. Then I will step back so as not to interfere with Your Highness’ sparring.”

Jenny Earl, bowing her head, turns around and walks away. Irea watched Jeniel move away without any movement.

“Your Highness.”

In the meantime, Ruinel comes closer. Ruinel, who was talking to Irea to sparr again, hesitated at an unknown sense of incongruity.

If it was normal, she would laugh and say let’s start her sparring again, but now she was silent without saying anything, looking at Jenial’s back.

“Your Highness?”

When Ruinel called again, Irea pursed her lips.

“Ruinel. You shouldn’t lie when dealing with people, right?”

For some reason, Irea’s voice was very low. More than that, she couldn’t understand the intent of the question. Ruinel nodded her head awkwardly, and Irea quietly continued her words.

“Then why did that child lie to me?”

Radne Merharin. She was a woman who was said to have no rational interest in the professor. Irea believed that, so she decided to treat Radne like her friend.

She was the same age and seemed to be able to speak quite well. However, Radne broke her word and seduced her Jenial, choosing to live in her Malay mansion.

If she was Jennie Earl’s assistant, she could use the lodgings in the imperial palace, but she chose to live in Malay’s mansion and see Jennie Earl every morning.

Is that really what a woman who has no rational interest in Jenial can do? After all, Radne must have approached her to take away her professor from the start.

Thinking about it makes everything clearer. Taking a long breath, Ireah looked up at the sky and then looked back at Ruinel.

“Deceiving the imperial princess is a serious crime, isn’t it?”

Irea was smiling. However, the torrent of her emotions that lurked behind that smile was very visible to Ruinel.

This is Luinel who spent a long time by Irea’s side. He didn’t know that Ireah’s refined smile sometimes accompanied her anger.

“…… That’s right.”

What part are you angry at? Although she was Ruinel, whose English was unknown, she had no choice but to give an affirmative answer as she could not deny Ireah’s question.

Meanwhile, Malaig Mansion.

Jeniel’s office.

“Ecchi!”

Radne coughs cutely in front of her desk and turns her head out the window.

‘Is it pollen?’

She didn’t even catch a cold, but she suddenly had a cough, which made her wonder. Radne, who wanted to close the window, shook her head and went back to her original work.

“…… Another document related to blood magic.”

Radne was checking the documents that Jenial had piled up before going to work. It was because Jeniel told me to read all the documents and correct any errors.

Since it was confirmed that Radne is a high-ranking demon, it can be seen that she borrowed that knowledge to more accurately grasp information related to blood magic.

Thanks to that, Radne was buried in the paperwork and was reading similar content to the point of getting bored. He wanted to run away in his heart, but he couldn’t because he was caught in a weak spot.

“Haa… ….”

Ladne let out a low sigh, put down the paper she was reading, and leaned against the back of the chair. He doesn’t like to work She hates to work so ignorantly that it annoys her.

In the first place, the amount of paperwork piled up on my desk couldn’t possibly be handled within a day. That’s why I have no motivation and no passion.

Even so, I couldn’t just rest like this. It was because I had to produce something to show to Jeniel after he returned from the mansion.

Ladne, who groaned and grabbed the pen again, hesitated to read the document again. A knock was heard outside.

“… ….”

I’m sure she’s not Jenial’s younger sister. As I was looking at the door with such concern, the door opened and a servant entered. With a pile of papers in her arms.

“Oops, you’re at work, sorry. These are the documents the boy left to ask assistant Radne to analyze them. Whoops!”

The employee puts the pile of papers down on the desk with a thump. Wiping the sweat on his forehead, the serviceman bowed his head to Radne, who was stiff.

From noble mtl dot com

“Then suffer.”

When the servant with a bright smile left the room, Radne looked at the top of the desk in vain. Unintentionally, the mountain of documents turned into two from one.

‘Crazy…… Crazy professor…… !’

Are you treating people as machines!? No, even a machine would not be able to process this amount in one day. Radne, who was bubbling with anger, sighed as she managed to hold back her anger.

‘For now, you have to adapt. Because Jenial is holding on to my weakness.’

One day I will fight back against Jenial and leave this mansion, but that wasn’t the case now. As long as Jeniel knows that this side is a demon, he will not be able to disobey the order easily.

Still, if there is one thing that is fortunate, Jeniel misjudged that he was a mere ‘high-ranking demon’ after looking at his horns.

No, maybe that was a natural reaction. Because that’s what people usually think. It was normal to not even think that there would be an existence worse than that in the empire.

Radne’s eyes half-open as she recalls the time when Jeniel interrogated her in this office. Radne put his hand on his desk and put his chin on his chin.

“If Jenial had asked a little more persistently… ….”

She might have found out that she was the hidden princess of the demon realm.
