Chapter 23

Three days after New Year, the Empire’s Emperor Westoria felt lazy。

『Your Majesty is there no government affairs？』

It cairl with ivory skin。You’ll know she’s a slave by the chain on her feet。The words frouage not spoken in any country or region of this world。

「It’s fine。Because this year has just began。I ork hard tomorrow」

While Westoria answered in the Roirl blushed。

Westoria, to this girl……it was about two years ago since he bought Asuka。He was drawn to her unusual hair and skin color in Roe he’s never heard of。

Asuka can’t speak the Roe Asuka speaks。Still, a conversation is established since Westoria has the 『Divine Blessing of Words』。The Blessing of Word is highly coe』, even if they spoke different languages, they can still co of Word doesn’t mean that they know each other’s real intention。

「Kya~」

Asuka suddenly screams。Because from somewhere, a snake appeared and entered her clothes。When Asuka twist her body, the snake showed its face from between her breasts。The snake has a color like lavender。

While Asuka is taken aback, the serpent went to Westoria’s hair。Because both have the same color, you won’t know the snake’s whereabouts since you can’t tell the snake from the hair。

The snake is hanging its head down, facing Westoria’s ear and issuing a shururu sound with its tongue。

「I see, it’s black。You’ve got to challenge quite a bit」

Westoria laughingly smirked。Asuka, who’s color of underas found out, held her skirt down, and glared at Westoria。

This is why the Blessing of Word and the Blessing of Language is highly co。This lavender snake is one of Westoria’s few friends。

「Eh？Work hard？It can’t be helped if you say that」

Westoria as scolded by the serpent shrugged his shoulders。He rang the bells。After a while, a lasses came over。

「Your Majesty！！I have arrived」

「Thanks for your hard work。Help me deliver these letters immediately」

Westoria says so and hands over 11 letters to glasses。Glasses briefly bowed and went away。

『This is our firstthis year』

Asuka makes a tense face。Westoria said。

「You also got to participate」

「Eh？」

Asuka let out a dumbfounded voice。

Cattleya Linus toyed with her hair in melancholy。

Cattleya is the leader of the I Captain of the Ie 18 due to pure ability because there was the backing of Westoria。

And because Westoria doesn’t care about Cattleya recently。Westoria is now an Emperor, and there are also fiancees。Cattleya has been promoted to Captain of the Imperial Guards。They’re in a position to stand next to each other。But whether they can become an item is another story。

The world of Cattleya revolves around Westoria。Therefore, Cattleya’s frustration is basically towards Asuka。But since there’s no way to coht。

（I don’t want a person I’ood with be my childhood friend like that Asuka）

Cattleya

herself is froroup, she was an orphan as on the shelf and raised by the priest。

「Imperial Guard、will you play with us？」

Three I in thought。They were dissatisfied at the younger Cattleya as a wo on top of theht, they would try to prove their ability。The voice who said that saw that this time, Cattleya’s face is cloudy, and her condition seems to be bad。

「Okay。You can come over with three people」

Cattleya provokes the their sore spot。The three people shook their heads。

「Iya~、three people are cowardly as expected。Let’s fight one person at a time」

She dutifully went to a strange place。Cattleya took up a wooden sith a wry smile。

「Then、here I go！！」

The first one raised their wooden sword。Iht to Cattleya’s neck。

Cattleya lightly touched the wooden sword。Her wooden sword is clad in wind。Cattleya witnessed the wind-clad wooden sword clash with the other one。

bakki

Just before the wooden swords touch each other, the man’s wooden sword disappeared。The wooden sword became wood scraps, and was blown off by the wind。

「It’s you guys’ turn next」

Cattleya was talking to the other two men。The two people had blue faces。

「Ah！My stomach hurts！！」

「Ah, my head hurts！！」

The two people dragged away the first person who fainted from the impact。

pachipachipachi

The sound of clapping echoes。Glasses stood there when Cattleya turned around。

「Truly the『Magical Sword Cattleya』。Even crushi+ng the broken sword」

Cattleya has cold sweat on her back。She did not notice the presence of Glasses at all。

「The power of a Blessing。It’s not my ability」

「What are you saying? Isn’t your Blessing also part of your ability」

Cattleya has the『Divine Blessing of Spirit』。It’s a blessing that enhancesa breeze, if it involves Cattleya, it will have a power strong enough to crush the broken sword。

「Ah！Please have this。It’s a letter from His Majesty」

Cattleya tears off the letter froo to Westoria’s privately ownedabout the fact that he bothered Glasses to send the letter, it should be for confidential talks。

「Are there others gathering beside me？」

「It’ll be fun if you can come」

Glasses chuckled。Cattleya was gone with the letter。

Cattleya went to the private htly closed。She doesn’t think that Westoria will ates and invade it。Cattleya thought so, and put a foot on the ates。Nore, but it did not sound at all this time。Cattleya understand that her action is correct, and was relieved。

It seems that the inside of the ht。Cattleya walks the corridor while depending on the fire from a candle。

Cattleya rehost story that Westoria talked about。Four years ago, Westoria talked about ghosts appearing on this mansion。

（Why do you remember it now, me！）

Westoria is executing humans。Cattleya also cooperated with such executions。The prince who died

died suspiciously, and the minister who massacred his whole family。

Cattleya carefully step forwards。It was at that time。

Vu~on、vu~on、vu~on

Cattleya involuntarily drops the candle。The light becaht。Cattleya’s face stiffened。

（It’s as if the dead are screa from hell……don’t think about it, me！！）

Cattleya walks while plugging her ears。The sound becoer。

After walking for a while, she approached a corner。The second roo place。Cattleya turned around the corner with confidence。

「Kya~！！」

Cattleya unexpectedly screa at the corner。The shadoas shaped like a human。

「Sorry, sorry, I’ll do anything, please forgive me！！」

「You said you’d do anything right now。Will you swear that you’ll be trained by His Highness Westoria」

「Yes！I swear！！？Your Majesty！！！」

When Cattleya raised her face, Westoria was laughing。

「Eh、Your Majesty。That’s a relief」

Cattleya sagged。

「By the hat happened to the shadow？」

「Aahh。Like this。This is a bug」

Westoria laughs。The black shadow, no, a swars formed the character of 『stupid』in front of Cattleya。Cattleya has a blue vein on her temple。

「Your Majesty……。Don’t use your Blessing for such a thing」

「It’s 。How to use it is up to me」

Westoria laughed。

「Well, that was a sideshow, so we can start the 。Ma~, I don’t knohat to say。Look at the report first」

Westoria looked at his 13 vassals gathered。

「Can I ask you so before that？Your Majesty」

「What, Earl Ashi+mo」

Westoria faced the pluress。

「Well, the play from before, let’s convince ourselves that you understand our feelings。B`ut who is that slave？I would like an explanation」
