79 – Kingdom short selling method 15

“Then… I look forward to seeing you in the future. Lord Bahamut.”

“I am.”

Bahamut and Princess Layla part after politely greeting each other in front of the door.

From that appearance, it was as if they were sharing a secret relationship with each other, and the atmosphere seemed to be felt on the outside.

And… watching the two of them like this, the guards slowly nodded their heads.

‘As expected, there must have been quite a secret affair between those two.’

‘Looking at it like this, they’re a really good pair. For the sake of the Hungarian kingdom, I hope the two of them go well.’

Bahamut is supported by many people, led by Princess Leila, who is considered the most beautiful woman in Hungary, and the Black Legion.

It could be said that it was a good position at a glance, and they expected that if such two people were formed, it would be positive in many ways for the future of the kingdom.

And this is the fact that King Mohichi also hopes for.

Although, naturally, as a father, I was enraged when I heard that Bahamut tried to rape Leila by force, but after the misunderstanding was resolved and I learned about Laira’s feelings, I was thinking that it would be nice to be able to mate with Bahamut as my daughter’s groom.

“Really?.. Bahamut with Princess Layla..”

“Because it is! There’s a lot of talk going around in the castle right now because of that!”

“I see… such a story…”

To YuRia’s worried words, Lee Solda answered in a dry voice as usual.

It’s as if you’re listening to someone else’s story that has nothing to do with you.

Regarding this, Yuria spoke to her with a bit of frustration.

“No, are you really going to stay like this? Whatever happens, you have to take action! If, at this rate, Bahamut-sama really gets to bond with that princess…”

“It’s up to Bahamut to decide, and it’s not a matter of how you or I can do anything about it. Don’t worry about useless things and do your work. I still have a mountain of things to deal with…”

“Aww… ! If you’re really going to keep coming out like that, I don’t know anymore! Isolda-san, do whatever you want!”

YuRia bursts out in exasperation at Isolda’s lukewarm reaction and goes outside.

Immediately after the eyes that had been watching her disappeared, Isolda’s hand, which had been moving endlessly, stopped.

And..

“Tuk!… Tuk!…”

Tears began to fall drop by drop on the paper.

It was falling from Isolda’s eyes, who had been there casually just before.

Although he didn’t show it in front of YuRia. More than just the stuffiness YuRia felt, she was feeling as if her heart was about to explode.

‘How…?

It was just a simple rumor and there were a lot of things that got stuck here and there, but even considering this, Lee Solda thought it was a possible story.

The opponent was a princess of this country, and her face was also extremely beautiful.

Of course, Lee Solda herself thought that she didn’t bow down too much in terms of appearance. The difference in status was far superior, and above all, the dirty sins of the past that had not been washed were still left on her hands.

It was only natural that he was more attracted to the innocent and clean Princess Leila than himself.

Above all, as Bahamut now did not have more than compassion for Isolda, she was aware that she had no chance of winning.

‘It can’t be helped. No matter how much I want it… that princess is a better person than me…’

Lee Sol-da sheds tears amidst such an inferiority complex and consequent deep sadness.

Meanwhile, Yuria, who was watching her from behind the door, left the place and started to move.

‘It’s much better to do something in a row than to sit still and be ruined. Anyway, since Mr. Lee Solda is like that, I’d rather be here..’

Having made that decision, Yuria began to stride towards somewhere.

And..

“Okay, I can see the end of it with this.”

A smile began to form on Bahamut’s lips as he contemplated the finale of this fairly long journey.

‘Anyway… this is why people shouldn’t judge by looking at the outside. It’s a shame because I know the spoiler. I almost threw ashes on the finished rice because of her.’

It was Bahamut who already knew about Leila’s identity through the knowledge of the original work, but I really did not think that she would try to frame herself in this way.

Fortunately, the crisis was averted through a suitable lie, but it was clear that it was quite close.

‘still… Thanks to that, I was able to more accurately grasp the conspiracies she was plotting, so it’s rather fortunate. It’s quite annoying that strange rumors spread, but…’

Apparently, rumors are spreading within the royal castle that Bahamut and Leila are in love with each other.

In response, Ophelia had already asked him the truth with a stiff expression on his face, and Bahamut firmly replied that there was no such thing.

To be honest, no matter what other people’s eyes were, Bahamut could say that the woman named Leila was unlikable.

‘Am I crazy, like traitors who want to sell out the whole country? Wouldn’t it be better if it was an underground run… If I had a chance, I’d want to make her taste hell just like that nun did that year.’

That’s right, but to be honest, since the other person is clearly a princess of a country, Bahamut came to the conclusion that it would be difficult for him to directly punish Leila, as he had always done.

Of course, that doesn’t mean that the dirty bitch has no intention of leaving it alone, so it’s a situation where we’ve considered an appropriate disposal method in our own way.

It was the time when Bahamut was trying to concentrate on his work again, feeling a bit of regret and anticipation.

“smart”

“yes? to come in.”

A sudden knock on the door.

Seeing that there were no restrictions at the entrance, Bahamut gave permission to enter the room, thinking that it was probably someone from the Beden Merchant.

Then, the door slowly opened and a familiar face came inside.

In response, Bahamut thought it was a little surprising and cautiously greeted him.

“Welcome, your name must have been Yuria, right? I’m working as Isolda’s secretary.”

“Yes, Bahamut. My name is Isolda-san’s secretary, Yuria Sweets.”

Although I’ve seen them often, this is the first time I’ve met them 1:1 like this little girl.

In response, Bahamut greeted her with the kindest smile possible.

“Okay, what did you come here for? Did Lee Solda send any errands?”

“No, nothing like that. Actually, I came because I had something I wanted to say personally to Bahamut. Regarding Mr. Isolda.”

Yuria speaks clearly as if she is giving a presentation.

In response, Bahamut nodded his head kindly, thinking that he was also smart enough to be accompanied by Lee Solda.

“yes? You mean there’s something you want to say to me about Isolda? Please feel free to talk.”

Bahamut talking to Yuria with such a light heart, he was thinking that maybe something related to work would come out after that.

And… when his permission was granted, Yuria spoke to him without any hesitation or shame.

“Bahamut-sama, Mr. Lee Solda loves Bahamut-sama very much.”

“hahahaha.. that’s right. Lee Solda loves me… to? What… what?”

Yuria, who shoots an unexpected story with a direct hit.

In response, Bahamut put on a dazed expression for a moment, and YuRia spoke to Bahamut again clearly.

“Isolda says she loves Bahamut very much. Because of that, I’ve been expressing affection for a while now, but it seems like you still don’t notice, so I came to tell you in person.”

“No… no, wait a minute. That… it can’t be. Lee Solda likes me.. no, she loves me. Yuria, I think you are misunderstanding something..”

“It’s not a misunderstanding, did I see with my own eyes that you were still crying over the story that Bahamut-sama might marry that princess or something?”

“That…that… ”

Bahamut still couldn’t come to his senses even when he thought about whether the rumors had crawled all the way there.

Although the Isolda he knew showed a very passionate reaction when they slept together, it still felt like a sexpa. In terms of pure liking, I was only considering him as a slightly uncomfortable friend.

It was Isolda who always spoke to Bahamut in a stinging tone, and even though Bahamut himself may have insulted her, it was because he had no memory of doing anything that would impress her.

However, Bahamut couldn’t clearly deny YuRia’s words that directly refuted this.

‘There is no reason for this child to lie about this fact. And if you think about it now, there are a few things that get stuck…’

The part that mentioned the story of the past that baffled Bahamut the other day, and the thing that stood in the way of assassins to protect him just a while ago… Looking back now, it was something I would not have done without having some kind of heart for Bahamut.

“If you think about it, there are some things that get in the way… If you look at it roughly from the point of view of being a tsundere… No, in that case, is Lee Solda really me?”

Watching Bahamut finally arrive at the truth, Yuria began to smile.

Although, she didn’t know what the consequences of what she was talking about would be.

Perhaps, without changing anything in the end, Bahamut, as rumored, would marry the princess, and Isolda would continue to remain lonely.

However, at least with this, Isolda’s feelings were conveyed before crossing the irreversible line, and that alone made Yuria feel fortunate.

Without even dreaming about Bahamut’s inner thoughts, he had no thoughts about the princess Leyra in question.
