Chapter 185 (1/2)

Emperor of Steel Kangchan 34220K 2022-07-24

The crisis of Navarre Duchy, which had begun with the Monster Wave, was barely suppressed in 2 months.

The battle in the Akbar Fort was rather confusing and unexplained, but somehow they had managed to succeed in driving away the monsters into the western grasslands.

However, Luke couldn’t return immediately.

There could be monsters sneaking around to attack the Navarre once again, so he was ordered to stay.

‘Uhm, that is okay.’

When Luke had completed the mission successfully, he thought that the Emperor felt upset and put him trapped in there.

But he didn’t think much of it.

Since he had already gone there, he thought of waiting till he went back to complete his remaining military service.

It was the same with the knights.

No, they quietly enjoyed being treated sweetly by beauties.

“Hey Alex. Are you going out today?”

After the afternoon training, Kaper asked his friend who was wearing new clothes and preparing to go.

“Come here, I have been requested for a date by the Baron’s daughter.”

“Didn’t you just go out with Baron Charles’s daughter?”

“Huh, this body is a little too handsome.”

At the delightful response from his friend, Kaper could feel himself getting nauseous.

“Uhk! That is disgusting!”

“Leave him alone. If not now, when am I going to live like this?”

At the voice of Anna which came from behind, the two of them turned around.

“What is this? Are you going on a date too?”

Kaper seemed surprised at the appearance of Anna in a dress.

Blushing, Anna replied, “Going out with Sir Philip since I am bored.”

“The instructor? Didn’t you like the lord?”

At those words, Anna’s face went stiff.

“Huh, I don’t like him now. I am very disappointed with him!”

She shook her head violently, looking at the building behind her and left.

‘Even if you are a war hero, going into the widow’s room late at night, that too twice…!’

She had accidentally seen Sebastian, who was disguised as Luke, entering Princess Margareta’s room in the Akbar Fort.

Guessing that Luke was flirting with the princess, her unrequited love soon came crashing down.

It was her misunderstanding, but sadly no one could tell her that.

“Anyway, I’ll be staying out tonight, so you guys play safe.”

Alex teasing his friends, waved his hand and walked away.

Already alone, Kaper began to wonder whether he should go meet up with some noblemen’s daughter.

But unlike his not-so-shy friend Alex, he couldn’t get himself to go and picked up his sword.

“Tch, dating my ass! I need to practice my fencing a little more.”

“Why do people meet so many people?” He talked to himself on the way back from meeting the King.

Luke met Margareta in the garden of the palace, and just shook his head as she stared at him.

However, princess Margareta felt the same way.

“This is really weird.”

“Weird?”

“That is what I am saying… I don’t think you are the Marquis that I knew.”

While at the Akbar Fort, just looking at Luke would make princess Margareta’s body go wild and excited.

However, looking at Luke in the garden the day didn’t seem to have the same effect on her.

Not after coming back to Avignon.

Even when she looked at him, it was like looking at some man passing on the side of the road. No, like the first time she met him, he seemed like a tool needed for her ambition.

Instead, every time she saw the fluffy cat that the Marquis owned, her heart fluttered strangely and moans almost came out of her mouth.

Due to the cat named Sebastian, she felt dizzy and she could feel her underwear getting wet.

‘Crazy! I must have gone crazy!’

She was distracted every time she saw the cat and she was turning ecstatic.

She thought that she might have smelled some drug while performing an experiment, but there was no such thing.

So she wondered if the mana of the two men she married were playing a curse on her.

Going to and from the temple didn’t cure her and there was no effect on her.

Whenever she felt suicidal or anxious about the curse, she thought of the cat, Sebastian.

“Aeiiing~!”

As soon as she saw Sebastian pass in front of her, Margareta’s entire body began to heat up.

“Excuse, excuse me.”

Margareta left Luke and chased after Sebastian.

But no matter how hard she chased, she wasn’t able to catch Sebastian and she was getting annoyed.
