Chapter 144 I put down my pride

12 month 30 day.

I.

Miu Xueer Eliza, put aside her self-esteem.

Is that a difficult thing to do?

Not sure.

I just knew that during this time of waiting, I asked various people many times.

I also observed many people.

There is no one like me.

Thinking carefully, haven't I always been protected by Plato?

He doesn't like treasure.

Do you like me... that much?
Maybe.

But he was not just in heat for me. He was also in heat for the women in the brothel who were wearing revealing clothes.

Anyway, I tried to let go of my pride.

It doesn't feel bad.

Rewards and all that, in the final analysis, it's just what I want to see, Plato is obsessed with me.

No need to charm now.

What's wrong with just openly encouraging him to be obsessed with me?
morning.

I got up after a long time and tried to make breakfast.

If I could put in 12% effort, I could produce something decent now.

In fact, I have asked others to taste the food that Plato said was "good", and the people who were charmed by it all commented that it was "unpalatable".

“Why are you still wearing a cheongsam?”

"?"

Plato also got up.

Ask me why I'm still wearing this?

Even though it got dirty last night, I feel it's acceptable after just wiping it.

I certainly don’t like dirty laundry.

Just saying…

“It doesn’t have to be like this.”

"I do like that Her Highness Eliza went out of her way to change clothes, but if they get dirty, just wash them."

"……Well."

As he spoke, he stood very naturally behind me.

"Plato, do you want it now?"

"Can't you?"

"..."

That's fine.

I am worried that this breakfast will still contain carbon.

"I want to eat."

"Doesn't Her Highness Eliza want to eat too?"

'...'

My cheeks must have been burning.

last night.

I told Plato about that, about the fact that his stuff was used as a substitute for blood.

Plato didn't seem surprised.

Or rather, don't care.

'Drink if you want. Free refills.'

No matter how much I put aside my self-esteem, I'm not yet at the point of pestering Plato to drink that.

and.

Needless to say, I feel that, at the level of platonic estrus, I will never feel hungry again.

"Plato..."

"You are, deliberately so slow."

"Not considering you're going to make breakfast?"

"..."

I looked back.

It was easy to see Plato's smirking face, and I knew it was a deliberate teasing.

I also found out.

If I were less prickly, Plato would be easily seduced by me.

what.

Is this really good?

"..."

To my surprise, Plato did not accommodate me.

"After all, you made it specially for me. Cooking skills can be improved over time, but the feelings that go into it are different."

"..."

Honestly.

I didn't quite understand, but I seemed to understand that Plato didn't laugh at me just because he knew I couldn't do anything well.

12 month 31 day.

Hanging out with Plato.

I'm almost used to it.

"Your Highness Eliza."

"This is... Queen Eliza. Do you want some vegetables?"

"..."

Some offerings.

Some exaggerated honorifics, even putting hands together as if looking at a god.

I know.

This is all what Plato gave me.

I choose to accept these good intentions.

then.

Choose again, and squeeze Plato's hand a little tighter.

I like this feeling.

There is no need to think about the blood issue. Just worry about how to spend the night and whether I should continue practicing my specialty, salad, or something else tomorrow.

noon.

I went to the brothel with Plato.

I've also observed a little.

"Oh, Master Plato~"

"..."

Even though those women were pretty.

Even quite proactive, suggesting that Plato was unmoved.

I knew even when I was in the palace that, except for my father, most nobles, including my mother, had multiple spouses, mostly men.

That's not really something to be amazed at.

If I were to marry a woman from the royal family, I would of course have to be cautious because of her status. But I am not a royal family now.

I am not a royal family, but I still keep my old habits. That is, I don’t like others to touch my things.

Of course.

It's impossible for all the things I like to happen in a day.

Plato talks to Zeke.

I was just listening.

"During the day, the monster recovers much more slowly."

"Also, Su, the cross you brought back is useful. You're right, only silver crosses are useful. Is it possible that the cross was blessed by the church? Anyway, it's useful to stuff it into his skin, and he screamed loudly."

"..."

Said a lot.

They planned to take advantage of the situation by going to towns more than ten days away where conflicts were raging.

When it comes to the church, we will have to face it sooner or later.

If the cross is useful, we should consider finding something else. If the bishop is useless, we can choose a similar day to cremate him so as not to scare the children.

Also mentioned.

The trees deeper inside the Cursed Land grow straighter and are more suitable for making tools and various other materials.

Castle.

I was mentally prepared. Plato didn't like staying at home for long periods of time like me, he also needed normal food.

So it's okay to move out.

In the current situation, you can live in the lord's mansion or in an ordinary civilian house.

But why do we still have to think so far?
on the way back.

I am in a bad mood.

"Xue'er, to be honest, I never understood your strength."

"Would you like to try it?"

"How far can you go without using charm?"

"..."

What do you want to do?
"If you lose, you have to fight with me."

"..."

"If you win, I'll let you do whatever you want. I don't mind being locked up in a dark castle."

I know.

I certainly can't beat Plato.

But I still got upset and stayed away from him.

He said there is no need for charm?
……

Just two breaths.

I have been suppressed by Plato.

But unlike what I expected, she was only touched and then released.

"Next time it won't be as simple as just a touch, right?"

I am very angry.

Come again.

……

Same result.

He must still be draining water.

And then, even so, I still ended up being pinned down.

This time it wasn't just a touch.

He squeezed it.

……

Maybe more than a dozen times.

I won't fight anymore.

Crouch where you are and give up resistance.

"You want to... to shiver."

"Just do it."

"Xue'er, you are actually stronger than Zeke."

"..."

so what?
I'm not weak to begin with. After drinking the new food for so long, I can feel that if I were to go back to the past, I would never be caught.

But this cannot change the fact that I can't beat Plato.

It can't be changed either.

Even if I put aside my pride, the fact is that Plato is still going to go out.

"So, you are more suitable to be my assistant."

"?"

"Think about it. If you go with Zeke, he'll be a decent assistant at best."

"And taking you along will not only make me a more outstanding assistant."

"Still a very lecherous assistant."

"what does that mean?"

I raised my face.

"Don't you want to travel? Building Keyimu Town is a must. No matter where you go, you have to have a home, right? It's okay to want to build your own home."

“Wouldn’t it be the best of both worlds if I could travel and get good things to build my own home?”

"You want to... take me with you?"

"Hair, eye color, I can handle it. What can't I do?"

"..."

In fact, I care more about this.

The reason why he wanted to build Keyimu Town was because he wanted to have a home where he could return anytime?
That's right.

It is good to be away from home for a while, but everyone should have a home where they can go back to and have familiar people. My old home is gone.

"Xue'er."

"You lost thirteen times just now, right?"

"?"

"You might not be able to get out of bed tomorrow."

"..."

I hate standing on the ground, I can't stand steadily. I fall flat on my face.

but.

"Ah."

"Anyway... you're in heat like that, and I'm too attractive... I'm also responsible."

"Wow, you really know how to talk."

"..."

I hate it a little bit.

When I was ready, I was mentally prepared to fall flat on my face the next day.

As a result, Plato fell into a deep sleep after just one time.

Not satisfied.

If you said you would make me like that... then do it! Idiot, I wasted my time.
