Chapter 151: “Hn, That’s No Good.”



Of course, it wasn’t that Shien wanted to act like a perverted thief or anything. He just suddenly thought that if he, as a man, just openly headed toward the princess’s room, then those female knights guarding the entrance will probably just block him and keep him from entering at all.

There are all those useless young nobles waiting for the princess to grace them outside after all, so the female knights here will definitely be highly vigilant against men. As the protagonist here, Shien didn’t want to be lead by the nose by women and be forced to deal with the general clichés of having to try to explain a misunderstanding while holding back even when the other side was attacking him.

Thus, Shien just decided to go straight into the [Stealth] state and sneaked of toward the princess’s room.

The max leveled [Stealth] skill was obviously very powerful. Plus, in order to prevent some kind of accident, getting discovered, and whole thing devolving into one of those classic clichés, he even took the Holy Sword in hand to use the buff from it to turn his level 10 skill to level 20. Thus, with the massively boosted skill, Shien not only didn’t make a sound, even the his own magic power as well as the power of the Holy Sword was perfectly hidden.

Wonder what would happen if he paired this status with his [Assassination] skill?

“I really do want to find someone and try it out…”

Shien’s hand itched. He really wanted to try out being an assassin.

However, Shien controlled himself and sneaked over to the princess’s room. Then, with one hand on the Holy Sword, he quickly opened the door with his other hand and then dashed in.

The entire process was done without a sound or trace.

If anyone else had seen him, they’d definitely be loudly asking him - “How are you so practiced at that?”

Of course, due to his practiced skills, Shien saw something that he shouldn’t have.

“Ah… So troublesome… So troublesome…”

Before him, when no one else was in the room, that beautiful beyond compare princess was collapsed over her bed with her back facing the door while muttering such things.

It wasn’t the cool and collected tone from before.

Although the voice was still as moving as always, the tone behind it had completely changed.

It turned into one like an overworked salaryman, filled with listlessness and complaints.

“Why did something so troublesome had to happen again? Can’t they let me properly rest a bit?”

Lucy collapsed spread eagle onto the bed, burying her face into her blankets as she complained into it.

“My daily schedule is already so packed. Not only do I have to show myself every day, I even need to deal with all those nobles asking for my hand in marriage. I don’t even have any time to play anymore. I finally just recently got to stay in the capital for a bit, but why did something world shaking like this have to happen? How much work do the gods want to pile onto me before they’re satisfied?

As Lucy complained like that, she begun kicking her feet in the air as she wildly waved her arms.

“I don’t want to work! I don’t want to work! I want to go out and play!”

“I want to eat the pastries from Lillet’s shop! I want to eat a banquet from Ashe’s shop! I don’t want to keep eating the already cold food from the palace!”

“Waahhh… Vivian you idiot… Why did you have to bring me something so troublesome? Just what do those guys want from me!”

“Ahhh… So troublesome… So troublesome…”

As those dispirited complaint continued to be uttered, Shien who just sneaked into the room froze in response.

As Shien watched Lucy airing her complaints to the air, rolling and kicking around without any attention to how she looked, messing up her bed, and even burring her flawless face into the covers without a hint of her previous serenity and glamour, various thoughts popped into Shien’s head.

“Who am I?”

“Where am I?”

“What was I doing?”

Naturally, Shien was also completely in a state of chaos.

“Ahhh… So troublesome… So troublesome…”

On the other side, Lucy finally turned about as she complain and roll about, and she finally faced Shien. Thus, she quite successfully spotted the man frozen in spot with wide eyes, and her complaints suddenly cut off.

“…”

“…”

A man and a woman thus both froze there, staring at each other, without any reactions.

Immediately, Shien’s mouth twitched. Lucy started sweating furiously on her face.

However, neither one of them dared to be the first to open their mouths, so they just continued staring at each other.

Shien could see the panic in Lucy’s eyes.

Lucy could see Shien mental breakdown through his eyes.

There’s a phrase to describe this situation, and that is that a sudden silence is the most scary situation.

Now, that abnormal silence descended between this man and woman like the calm before the storm.

Until…

“Shien, right?” Lucy finally spoke up first.

It was like she had returned to how she was previously. Her tone was cool, her expressions indifferent. She had completely returned to her “princess mode”.

However, the messed up bed as well as the rumpled clothes and hair from all her rolling about told Shien that what he saw before was not a dream.

“What is it? Did you have something more to say?”

Lucy acted like nothing had happened and spoke such words with unusual calm.

Shien responded with silence.

Then…

“You’re not trying to just bluff your way through like that, are you?”

Shien’s direct statement stabbed into Lucy’s heart.

Lucy’s beautiful face also twitched for an instant.

“… If you still have something important that you want to say, then go ahead. If it’s something I can help with, I’ll definitely do all that I can.”

Lucy continued on as if nothing had happened, but her wish to just muddle through was exposed the more she tried.

Shien once again fell silent.

After a moment, Shien spoke up distantly, “I do have a problem I’d like to consult your highness on.”

“What’s the problem?” Lucy continued to act calmly.

“I saw something that I shouldn’t have.” Shien continued on in the same tone as before, “Although it feels like I got a mental breakdown from it, I still have to ask. At this time, what should I do to avoid getting silenced?”

“Yes. This matter is indeed very important.” Lucy nodded and, without so much as a pause, spoke directly, “I think, whether it be for your own sake or that of the other person, you should pretend that the matter didn’t happen at all. It’s best if you can actually erase that memory from your mind. What do you think about this suggestion?”

“I think so as well.” Shien nodded in response before continuing, “As I thought, that’s not possible, right?”

“That’s indeed no good.” Lucy smiled, “Hn. That’s no good.”

The conversation ended.

The air was once again filled by silence.

Right afterward…

“Sorry to disturb you.”

Shien turned about without hesitation and tried to leave.

However a hand suddenly grabbed his shoulder and dragged him back.
