34 Chapter 33 (2/2)
Richard began to lead us back to the castle, while looking like he had virtually no involvement with us at all. I decided to use examine on him. He was my husband to be, in theory, at the very least I should know who I'm marrying, right?

I was not pleased to find out my husband to be was in fact fucking this child hood friend. The anger even started to break through my deception until I remembered that I'm not actually going to marry him. I'm not engaged to him. I'm not a princess. I'm a thief. Not even that. I'm a thieves harlett, looking to manipulate and rob the kingdom… even betraying Devon, who has shown me nothing but kindness. I had only managed to replace my anger with a certain level of sadness.
Devon, who had been watching my face change, looked at me questioningly, and I just gave a shake of my head. He gave an apologetic smile, but it only made things worse that he was misunderstanding why I was sad. After a moment, I decided to speak up.
”Is there anything I need to be prepared for with the other princes or the king.”
Devon seemed to freeze on the spot, ”Why, what have you heard?”
I gave him a frown. ”What are you hiding?”
Devon shook his hands in defense. ”No… nothing, that is… my brothers… other than Richard, are a bit… um… well, you'll know it when you meet them?”
I gave a frown, but he didn't seem to come forward with any new information, so I asked a followup. ”And the king?”
”Ah… dad? He's alright, I guess. Kind of a lonely since mom died a few years ago. He… um… I suppose I should warn you know. He's a bit of boozer. And he's very touchy. You might end up seeing him fondling the serving women. Um… most of the women in the castle are used to it. A few are hoping he knocks them up and they get a free ticket as a mistress… so it's not like the women aren't willing. I figured you'd hear or see something sooner or later.”
”Half the noble's are sexual deviants…” I whispered, but Devon heard me.
”Ah… that's an exaggeration. But… you know… family is complicated, right?”
”Before you go in to see the king, you'll need to leave that thing out here.” Richard had stopped near some side gates with two posted guards that seemed to lead into the castle.
He was talking about Min, of course. I gave Devon a look.
”In this case, I have to say that he's right. Slaves and demihumans cannot enter the throne room. Um… I'll let the guards know, they'll escort her to your room with the new dresses. All the stuff from your carriage should already be there, so she can prepare it the way you like it.”
I gave a nod and as a guard came to escort Min away I first gave her a squeeze on the shoulder. She didn't react as usually and continued to follow the guard. After she left my sight, the princes started moving through the castle with the familiarity of someone who lived there. We didn't enter through the main front doors, which were made to look large and intimidating. Instead, we had slipped in the side, and were now navigating some corridors that already quickly became a mindless maze to me.
A moment later, we came up to two large double doors. The boys didn't wait for any announcements or the like. They simply opened the doors and I followed behind as they entered. The throne room wasn't quite as large as I would have imagined an audience chamber. It was perhaps 200 meters long, a hallway leading up to a fancy throne. However, the throne was modest enough that it didn't feel like overkill.
Sitting in the throne was a man in his middle years. He sat with an authority that immediately screamed king. He had a deep dark brown beard, and his baby blue eyes matched the eyes of both of the princes in front of me. He was a tall man, although it was hard to tell how tall while he was sitting. He looked imposing, and I couldn't help but scouting him out.

Wow, that is a large number of sexual partners. The king has been busy. Good penis size, some… questionable sexual kinks, but I wouldn't deprive a man their kinks. His level was the largest I've seen so far, truly worthy of being a king.
”Ah, you just analyzed me girl, how daring.”
I froze at that in mid courtesy, realizing I had been completely found out.
”Mm.. yes, the girl analyzed me as well earlier. ” Richard spoke up.
”When we first met, I thought she might of, but I still don't have a good feel for it… so she has analyze, huh?”
I dropped down in an even lower courtesy. ”Oh, I'm so sorry… it's just a nervous habit of mine. I didn't mean anything by…”
The king waved his hand while laughing. ”Don't worry girl. It's considered a little rude, but when a girl as cute as you does it I can only feel flattered.”
”Ah… thank you.” I nodded, blushing at his compliment.
Since I didn't interpret the comment as sexual, my mental protection didn't kick in, thus, in these certain situation I did feel embarrassed genuinely.
”But since you took a peak at me, I think I should be allowed to take a peak as well!” The king was moving his hands as if he was going to leap off the chair and rip my clothing off.
My seductress self might have let him, but the princess persona I was wearing reacted by covering her body. A moment later, there was a little tingle in my gut.
”Ah… I felt that!”
{Magic Sense has increase to LVL 1.}
”Ah, you have magic sense. It's good to see my future daughter in law is so skilled. Now, let's look and see at your stats.”
For a second, I freaked out. First I feared that the king would see that I'm Aria, not Cornelia. I was wearing the ring, of course, but was it good enough? Second, I was afraid he was going to see all my sexual stats and realize I couldn't possibly be a princess. Then I realized that the stats he sees are a seductresses stats… so he probably sees something different. It still scared me that examine would catch something. I could end up being beheaded the first moment.
”Hmmm… impressive. You're only level 14 but you have 16 special skills… and dozens of normal skills.”
”R-really?” Devon seemed completely shocked and then he turned to me, ”Did you really use that many orbs of Raimer?”
”Ah… well.. my dad really wanted me to be safe…” I said.
It was a tough thing to explain away, and even Richard seemed surprised by this development. However, the king was already moving on.
”Hm… so you play a musical instrument as well.”
”She can?” Devon seemed to continuously surprised.
”Apparently, and good enough to earn a title as well.”
”Eh?” I made a stupid noise again.
”But I've never heard of an instrument called a Solo.
”Huh? A Solo, you say?” Devon scrunches his face up in thought.
”Yes, it's Cornelia the Solo Player.”
Ah! I had forgotten to change my title after my last foray. That's probably also why I've been able to keep such a cool mind, even in the room with royalty. But… that is…
”Err… it's a instrument from my home country. It's a bit of rare one.”
Basically, I explained a violin, hoping that this country didn't know about such an instrument. It seemed to do the trick, although he was fascinated by the idea of a using a bow made of horsetail to slide over strings stretched across a box with a hole in it. The king and Devon were both enthusiastic about learning about it, while Richard simply had a disinterested face.
After talking for a little bit longer, the king suddenly clapped his hands. ”Well, let's liven this up a bit. It's about time you met the rest of your future brother in laws. Let's get some lunch.”
