Lives With Incubus Characteristics
Chapter 4
Episode 4. I am not a hero.(4)
Episode 4. I am not a warrior.(4)
Karsen, who had a happy expression on his face, naturally grabbed Elina’s wrist and led her. Upon arriving at his palace, Elina’s expression was uncomfortable, as if there was something unpleasant about it.
“… Sister?”
“Yes.”
“What is it? What are you thinking? What I’ve said so far. Are you not listening?”
Karsen puffed out his cheeks and pursed his lips. Seeing that, Elina smiled kindly and patted him on the shoulder.
“Carsen, you are very tired today. I’m sorry, but can I go back?”
Elina put her hand on her forehead, tired. Seeing that, Karsen sighed as if he couldn’t help it.
“Aren’t the warrior and my sister overdoing themselves these days? I heard that Prince Derek is also very worried.”
“Not to the extent that you care.”
But when the hero was mentioned, Elina’s eyes lit up. Karsen, excited by the sight, began to spit out excessive information.
“Sister, if the hero becomes a hero, he will marry me. That beautiful black hair and eyes are so cool. That’s enough to make you my wife. It’s just that ‘low things’ bother me, so I’m worried.”
Carsen quite liked the hero. Black hair like the night sky and dreamy eyes. Above all, she was a unique beauty that could not be seen in the empire.
Of course, just being a hero is a pretty plus point. The reason he had his eyes on her in the first place was because she was likely to become his wife in the future.
To be married to the noblest man in the current empire. That would be a great honor and good fortune for Yoo In-na and the warrior.
“I am a guest of the imperial family. How can you say that you are lowly?”
As Elina slightly frowned, Karsen’s expression turned strange. Soon he spat out her words in a trembling voice with suspicious eyes.
“Couldn’t you have liked that stranger? The older sister I respect….”
“That can’t be. I am the ruler who will lead this empire in the future. Do you think you would care about such private feelings?”
Karsen nodded his head inwardly. His older sister and crown princess, ‘Elina’, had a solid future in her life. She was not a woman whose life would be ruined by a moment’s shaking.
Even national marriage is no joke. I couldn’t be with a lowly man who didn’t know where he came from.
She knows how to grasp reality quickly and is capable of cool-headed thinking. That’s why Karsen respected her and was proud of her.
“I guess so, right? I guess I just said it. If so, how about entrusting me with the matter of that cloth, the stranger man?”
“… In the first place, women do not interfere in men’s affairs. But don’t forget that he is both a victim and a guest who got caught up in the imperial family’s mistakes.”
Karsen looked into Elina’s eyes. Seeing her closest blood kin, eyes that looked just like her own, she could read her mind so easily.
His own sister feels pity for a stranger without any traits and powers. A man’s touch should never be ignored. Mere curiosity was not to be allowed to move into affection.
“As expected, my sister is the future emperor who will rule this empire. Come to think of it, he is also in contact with Prince Derek, right?”
“… Ha. None of your business. And the story only came out, and I have no intention of forming a relationship with him.”
Elina has no choice but to get married for the sake of the stability of the imperial family and empire. Even without her love, she has no choice but to faithfully fulfill her role.
Elina stood up from her chair to return to her place. Karsen, who saw her expression darkened, introduced her last resort in an urgent voice.
“Let it be the government. I’m sorry Derek, but isn’t it better than connecting with the hero? Then both the empire and my sister will be satisfied.”
“You seem to like the hero so much. But how can I use it like that? When the hero subdues the demon king, I intend to follow along.”
At that, Karsen shouted with a shocked expression. At that sound, the attendants and maids who were waiting nearby flinched.
“What do you mean? Sister, are you thinking of making a cause by making a contribution? How many times does he say he has seen the man? Did you really go crazy?”
“… ….”
“Ha ha. Is it so. Sister, it might be better to go out for a while and cool your head. But sister?! Sister!!”
Elina moved her steps without regret. Her voice, which had been calling her over and over again, finally fell silent.
⁕⁕⁕
How long has it been since then? Quite a bit of time has passed. Her daily life in this world continued.
Yoo In-na still trained hard. As her man, I was no longer allowed into her training ground, so I sometimes went to her room.
Smart-!
A customer came to me today as I was about to leave. Since there was no one to come to her except her, she opened it wide, thinking it was her for granted.
“… There must have been a woman waiting for you.”
For some reason, Elina, who had a vague expression on her face, was standing in front of her eyes. I hurriedly took care of her expression and asked Youth to bring me two cups of tea.
“Meet the little sun. Your Highness, do you need anything from me?”
“There is none, so get up first.”
I returned my bent knee back to normal. The cold blue wall was looking up at me from the neck down.
“Whoa. You, you don’t look like I’m happy at all.”
“How could that be? I was just embarrassed that he hadn’t come since that day.”
Elina’s pupils shook embarrassingly. The first words she uttered were quite embarrassing to me.
“Dude, do you wear perfume?”
“No. Do you smell that?”
I pulled my top with my hand and sniffed it. There was no scent that stood out.
“Stop it. Doesn’t the clothes go up? Come on, you can see your belly button! What!!”
Elina, her face flushed, exhaled irregularly. Quickly calming herself, she caught her breath and offered me her apology.
“I’m sorry about what happened before. Because I raised my younger brother so much.”
“I forgot. You don’t have to worry about it.”
At my words, Elina remained silent. In the uncomfortable silence, Youth brought two cups of hot tea and put them on the table.
“Thank you. Don’t stand still, go back and rest.”
“… Alright, alright Call me whenever you need.”
Youth glanced at the princess and nodded her head. Seeing his disappearing back, Elina muttered her words.
“You are the youngest son of Viscount Calento. He escaped an arranged marriage and entered the imperial family as an attendant. Well, the other count is middle-aged, so it’s worth running away. Stuttering is the fault, but it will be your faithful limb.”
“Did Your Highness put it on you?”
“… Yes.”
I was surprised for two reasons. The first is that Elina knows the information of the lower nobility well, and the second is that it is an era in which men are sold as sacrifices for political marriage.
I wasn’t disappointed that I couldn’t hear from Youth himself. In the first place, he is not obliged to tell me any information that might be his weakness.
“Shock?”
“… I don’t want to lie. I’m honestly a bit surprised. It’s so different from the world I live in.”
“What about where you live?”
Elina asked in a curious voice. She wasn’t sarcastic, and she didn’t contain any hostility, so she decided to answer honestly.
“The way men and women think and values are reversed. It is a place where there is no such class system and civilization and society are quite developed.”
“You mean there is no royal family and nobility?”
Her eyes were colored with confusion. Her urgent voice informed her feelings.
“Well, there used to be, but it can’t exist forever.
Silence came in an instant. Did I just say that? It seems that the rumor that there is no status system for the royal family is a bit over the top. In the light of her ceiling, Elina’s hair took on a holy golden glow.
“… Do you want to go back to the original world?”
“I guess so, right? My family and friends are all there. There’s nothing I can do here without any characteristics.”
Most of all, I miss my smartphone and computer. I also want to eat Korean food. I want to eat chicken while watching TV.
“How can you like this world?”
“I don’t hate it.”
At my reply right away, Elina put on a puzzled expression.
“The warrior party will be leaving soon next week. And Jim participates in it as well.”
“So fast? Can the next emperor go to such a place?!”
“For the pride of the imperial family and the people of the empire. Also, if Jim went with him, he would be able to finish the subjugation faster. Don’t you want to go back soon too? Of course, I will keep in touch with the imperial family.”
What she said was right. If only the party of warriors could defeat the demon king and become heroes, ordinary people would love them more than the imperial family.
It might be a good picture to have a competent imperial family go together. At least she won’t betray the warrior party after becoming a female emperor.
I wonder if I have read too many strange novels. Rather, I think she is great.
“So, can you cheer ‘Jim’ along with the hero?”
What could be the reason not to? I answered with a smile.
“Of course. Your Highness, please come back safely.”
“… Dude, that’s against the rules.”
As I was about to ask what Elina had to say, I heard a sound outside the door. I couldn’t hear what he was saying, but when I heard it, it was Yoo In-na’s voice.
He was probably stopped by the Crown Princess’s knights standing guard. Elina took a leisurely sip of her tea as she watched me struggle with embarrassment.
“If the hero finishes the subjugation, he will gain great wealth and honor. And he will marry the prince and become a member of the imperial family.”
“Yes? Wouldn’t that be her choice? She can go back to her original world….”
“I don’t know. However, when selecting a hero, the person most dissatisfied with life is summoned. I mean, no regrets. It’s because people who were living well can’t come. We have that much conscience.”
That said, Yoo In-na’s life in modern times could be seen as unhappiness. But when she remembered her bright expression, she couldn’t fathom her circumstances.
“In other words, there is a possibility that she will remain here even after the demon king’s subjugation is over.”
“But why are you telling me that?”
I was curious. To be honest, there is no reason for me to even talk about this.
“So don’t be too affectionate with that woman. In the end, it will be you who will only get her hurt.”
The way you speak is as if Yoo In-na and I are lovers.
“I’m just saying this in case you misunderstand. We are close to camaraderie. How many times have I seen him in the first place, would I like him?”
“Then how many times do you have to meet to become lovers?”
“… ….”
“You made a mistake. Just let me go.”
After an awkward silence, just as I was about to say something, Elina stood up. The moment she opened the door, Yoo In-na and Elina bumped into each other.
“… ?!”
But immediately, the two quickly separated themselves from each other. Yoo In-na bowed her posture gracefully and greeted her.
“The little sun of the Empire….”
“The hero looks really leisurely.”
Yoo In-na’s eyebrows went up slightly at Elina’s sharp reaction. I heard that a shrimp’s back exploded in a whale fight, and I’m like that.
“… I think His Highness is like that too.”
“I am saying this because I am worried that you, a coveted warrior, would do vulgar things entering a young man’s room.”
“It’s not unusual in our world. You look envious?”
Yoo In-na was more courageous than expected. If she hadn’t been a warrior, she would have risked her life for her rude attitude.
“Your Highness, today was fun. Enter carefully.”
First of all, we had to put an end to the situation quickly. After her quick closing salutation, Elina gave her a friendly nod and moved on.
Knights and maids followed behind her. Only then was I able to bring Yin and me into her room.
“I don’t like it.”
Yuinna muttered as she brushed her hair. I comforted her and added her words.
“Still, try to get along. I heard you’re going with me during this demon lord subjugation.”
“What?! No!!”
When I saw her hating her, I burst into laughter without knowing it. Yoo In-na, who was hesitant, looked at me and opened her mouth.
“Leave next week. Maybe today will be the last.”
“… ….”
Should I comfort you? Should I cheer for you? The condition of being a hero that Elina had told me about was bothering me.
I was scared at the same time. I was afraid that I, who had no ability, would be left alone in the imperial family.
“So oppa, hug me just once. I’m afraid to cover it.”
Yoo In-na looked up at me with an anxious expression. No matter how much ‘protective protection’ and ‘characteristics’ she had, she was just a modern person like me.
She was younger than me, but she was strong. When she gently hugged me, she clung to me.
We felt each other’s body temperature. The hero who would save this world smelled good and smelled like sweat at the same time.
