Chapter 36.5 : Capital of North
I ask that question while hiding my real intentions.
I wonder what that goblin queen"s son is trying to do? That is something that I have to hear.
「I didn"t go as far as asking what he was going to do, but… Come to think of it, he said that he"s going to a ball dance which is going to be held today in a kingdom called Velos」
There is something that I"m curious about after hearing the goblin queen"s answer.
A ball dance.
I recalled that the word "ball dance" came out sometimes in the stories that I asked Kuroki to read for me. For some reason, my heart is attracted to that word.
I imagine a scenery where I"m dancing along with Kuroki in that ball dance. It was such a great spectacle.
「A ball dance, huh…」
「Yes, it"s a ball dance. I"m sure he said that he needed aphrodisiac after going to that ball dance」
「Aphrodisiac?」
That"s also something that piqued my interest.
「Yes, a drug to invigorate men. It"s something created using nectar of the queen bee who lived in the forest of darkness located to the west of the demon king castle. As long as a man drinks that, they"ll move their hip like a centaur in heat, and in case of woman, they"ll shake their hip like an elf in heat」
Such interesting words came out.
「If you"re interested, how about I give you one bottle?」
「Really?!!」
I ended up blurting it out.
「But, with a certain condition」
「Muh… What… Is your condition? 」
I"m on guard knowing that this isn"t over yet.
「It"s okay, no need to be on guard. I just want to receive a strand of your hair」
The goblin queen"s words betray my expectation. So I just need to give a strand of my hair.
「Understood. A strand of hair is an acceptable price」
After pulling out a strand of my hair, I give it to the goblin queen.
「Yes, I received it. I"ll give the medicine later. You should give it to your excellency by mixing the drug with tea. Gufufufu」
The goblin queen laughed eerily. She might be imagining about Kuroki right now.
I have to endure seeing that filthy smile for the time being.
Soon enough, a goblin brought the drug. It"s a transparent drug that filled a small and beautiful bottle.
「Let me say my grat.i.tude for the drug, goblin queen」
Saying so, I leave the Akeron mountain range after taking the drug.
◆Sword Maiden, Shirone
On the mirror is my figure that is wrapped by a light blue dress.
My skirt is fluttering around when I swirl my body once.
Yes. It"s a beautiful dress even in my perspective.
But I feel like I"m going to lose to the one on my side.
On my side is Kyouksan wearing a rose-colored dress. Kyouksan in her dress is really beautiful.
Her well-proportioned style and tight waist; her voluminous cleavage which I can see from the opening of the chest part of her dress. Even me, a member of the same s.e.x can"t help but look curiously at her ample b.r.e.a.s.t.s.
「You look great in that dress, my lady」
The one who"s praising us is Corfyna, Eclas"s wife. She"s a kind woman who doesn"t possesses the air of arrogance. Despite being the wife of the king, Corfyna doesn"t feel like a queen at all.
This is also my second time meeting with Corfyna.
From what I heard from Chiyuki-san, it seems that Corfyna was originally a merchant"s daughter who fell in love with Eclas when she met him during her time she was accompanying her father for trade in Velos and just like that got married to him. Marrying for wealth and status.
But, Corfyna"s low social status made many people oppose the idea of her becoming a queen.
But after his fiancee eloped with the king of Algore and seeing the depressed Eclas, it seems that the people around him had no choice but to acknowledge their marriage.
Corfyna is an elegant beauty, and Eclas became cheerful again after marrying her.
Due to her background as a merchant"s daughter, Corfyna is well versed in accounting and supports her husband on the financial affairs of the kingdom. Thanks to that, Velos became even more prosperous. Now, everyone acknowledges her as a full-fledged queen.
And standing between her and king Eclas is their son who is turning 5-years-old this year.
Even Chiyuki-san praised her as an example of a good wife. I was told that she went as far as not letting Reiji-kun come close to her to show her love to her husband.
One night has pa.s.sed since we came to this kingdom; we borrowed these dress from Corfyna for us to wear during the ball dance.
It seems that Eclas gave a lot of clothes and precious gems to Corfyna. Seeing the vast expanse of dresses in their clothing room, they decided to lend a few of those dresses.
The clothing style and technologies of this world are different for each country. There are countries that have reached extreme heights in these factors, and there are few who are at their lowest.
But, it"s quite high for a big country at Velos kingdom"s level.
The ball dance gown wore by me and Kyouksan can"t be compared even to the ones in our original world in terms of refinement.
「The opening on chest part is too big…」
Kyouksan is grumbling so.
Corfyna"s breast isn"t that big due to her slender figure. It feels too tight in my case, but it must be painful for Kyouksan who has bigger b.r.e.a.s.t.s than me.
For this reason, a modification was made by opening the chest part, thereby turning it into an erotic dress.
「Yup, the opening is too big. But, I think it"s really charming. Parsish-dono also seems to be delighted by it」
Kyouksan"s face displayed a conflicted expression when Corfyna mentioned about Parsish.
In the first place, Kyouksan doesn"t even want to dance with Parsish.
