Chapter 23. Change(3)
A country estate far from the capital. Even though he was from a Korean-American baron family, he showed sincerity to the warrior party. The food served was good, and the attendant seemed very nervous and noticed.
Of course. That’s because it was a ‘warrior party’ to subdue the demon king and save the world. Above all, since there is even a ‘crown princess’ with a noble status, how could they treat her carelessly?
In addition, how likely is it that a low-ranking aristocrat on the periphery will meet the imperial family? The gray-haired old man asked Elina, shaking her leg.
“… That, does it fit well in her mouth?”
“I ate deliciously. Thank you for caring.”
Actually, it didn’t suit Elina’s taste at all. It was bound to be different from the food prepared by the chefs in the imperial palace.
In fact, if you don’t find a village, you have no choice but to be homeless. To be honest, I was in a situation where I was grateful because I solved my meal by preserving food or hunting myself.
“Hey. It was absolutely delicious. Hey, human aristocrat, are there any male servants here to serve you?”
“Even in a place like this, elves are in heat. May God’s protection rest upon your wonderful hospitality.”
“Ahahahaha. The meat is tender and delicious. Do the warriors think so too?”
“Eh. I ate really well.”
The party members also spit out word by word as if satisfied. The old nobleman was looking at himself while trying to keep a smile on his face.
“Big. It is truly an honor to see those who save the world.”
It’s a nice smile, but does kindness without a price really exist in the aristocratic world? Come to think of it, the interior and furniture are quite old.
I don’t know if he’s deliberately trying not to hide it.
“It looks like the situation in Yeongji is not good. Since you treated him with respect, the imperial family will give you a great reward.”
“Thank you. Your Highness, however, that is not all I wished for.”
Even if he said that, the old nobleman’s complexion became more comfortable. It was a situation where only the powerless territories were suffering from the constant attacks of monsters.
“I want to rest.”
As Elina stood up, the old nobleman exclaimed in amazement.
“Bee, are you talking already? Your Highness, the dessert is still ready. Then take a bath”
“It’s okay. Don’t let it take your heart However, I would appreciate it if you took care of my colleagues.”
Drreuk.
Elina got up from her chair without regret and left the restaurant. Then a young man approached her. I guess from the clothes she’s wearing, it’s a young English workplace here.
Her hair is wet as if she had taken a bath. It was a bonus that it smelled good. I can’t even laugh at the trick that is so deceitful.
“That, that. The little sun of the empire….”
“It’s okay. You are indebted. I’m tired, so I’ll go up first.”
“If you don’t mind, can I help you in the bath? Majesty.”
It wasn’t a bad look. It was a very wasteful person to live in such a rural area.
“I don’t need it.”
The man’s face turned red at the blatant refusal. He bit his lip for a moment because he couldn’t control his expression, but it was a wise move to slowly back away.
Entering her room, Elina quickly lit a candle. It’s been a while since she’s been in each room, so I liked it. She is an aristocrat who can’t afford enough magic tools to light the fire.
Because of fighting monsters, the budget was extremely short. She guessed it, but it made her feel uneasy when she figured out what was going on.
I wouldn’t have been without support. I didn’t mention it during the meal, but I have a feeling I should look into it.
You can see the dripping candle wax. Elina pulled out her letter which she had kept in her dress. Although she has already read it, she ends up fiddling with it for nothing.
“… Hmm.”
Actually, there was no particular content. Her senders were her own younger brother Karsen, her fiancé Derek, and her henchman Becca.

Not much was said about Karsen or Derek. Most of them were about wishing her health and missing her.
The important thing was Becca. In her short writing, it was possible to grasp the approximate situation.

News that the health of her mother, the emperor, continues to deteriorate. Anxiety creeped up that maybe a problem might arise faster than the demon king subjugation.
I will not tolerate myself as a dori who became a child before becoming a member of the imperial family. It was on a different level from being maliciously pointed at for not being able to keep one’s duty in the future.
She’s fortunate. It’s reassuring to hear that she’s carrying out the instructions she’s given. Under the gray tongues of the aristocrats, the political foundation will be gradually solidified.
Then her own marriage will be decided by herself. Unlike previous emperors, he will marry the man he loves. Above all else, the imperial authority was built on a solid foundation.
The problem is that the most desired information is not available. Actually, it wasn’t urgent.
There was not even a mention of the ‘stranger man’.
I wonder if it’s okay. What are you doing Shouldn’t there be at least survival?
But then she shook her head. I’ll be fine. He is someone who should be forgotten anyway.
“… Aren’t you the one to go back to anyway?”
Smart-!
Elina, who was burning her letter with a candle, turned her head. Even though she didn’t even ask to come in, the one who came in was the aristocrat Young-sik from before.
“… Majesty.”
The thin pajamas worn by the man were quite exposed. Soon after, he fired coldly at him.
“Dude, what do you see me as?”
“… That is.”
Bewildered by the bloody voice, the man soon began to cry. No matter how much a man’s weapon is tears, this case is embarrassing.
“Isn’t it something you do because you want to?”
“When I saw Your Highness, at first sight….”
“Please be smart. The hospitality received today will be generously rewarded by the imperial family.”
The shivering man soon lowered his head. He had no intention of leaving at all.
“Or maybe the baron ordered it? If so, let me personally try to convince you. If not, is it Youngsik’s idea?”
“Thank you for the grace. Your Highness, then I will step back.”
When the man finally left, he turned his head away. She suddenly saw her reflection in the mirror.
“Ha ha.”
In the moonlight, it flowed even more gorgeously on her beautiful blonde hair. The beauty with blue eyes gave off a more mature atmosphere than before.
What if ‘that man’ came to his bed?
If so.
It’s a useless delusion.
Climbing onto her bed, Elena slowly closed her eyes.

“Over there. Everyone. How old are you all?”
I looked at the men in front of me. Seeing those hesitantly answering questions gave me a very strange feeling.
Can this be called an interview? I never thought I would be interviewing in this world. In fact, even now, my line, which speaks like a veteran, is so funny.
I turned and looked at Jane sitting next to her. She smiles and lifts the corners of her mouth.
“What are you looking at?”
“Is this really necessary?”
A heavy sigh comes out. Can’t you see the trembling men right now?
These are not the men who come here to work. In the first place, it was impossible for young men to know about the shop, which was deeply embedded in it.
“Boss, ordinary men don’t jump into the window on their own.”
“… I guess that’s a different story. Is that why you went to the slave market?”
“That would be cheaper. We need staff to work right away.”
Jane’s words with her legs crossed weren’t exactly wrong.
We needed waiters, of course. Because that guard can’t set the table forever. Why don’t you do some cleaning?
“Wouldn’t it be nice if at least the number of people was filled?”
“… But did you have that much money?”
To be honest, isn’t slavery expensive? A bankrupt person buying close to ten young men?
It was difficult to understand with the concept of modern people. Of course, even in the era where I live, the culture of slavery existed long ago.
“Don’t talk nonsense. Otherwise Bocchan, shall we send it out again?”
Jane, frowning slightly, raised her glass. She couldn’t help but nod her head at her words of warning.
The men’s appearance was varied. There were good-looking kids, but there were also sad ones.
First of all, the more Prost*t*tes, the better. It doesn’t matter if you look bad. In fact, the worse the appearance, the cheaper the price.
We also need gypsophila to brighten the roses. In any case, this might be the best option for them.
“Have you ever worked?”
When I asked the men in front of me, they all responded with intimidation. I am also very funny. No way.
Coming to think of it, I’m not much different from them. The situation was better, but I was in a position to pay the same debt.
“Well, first of all, it is a form of getting paid per hour. It is a form of paying off part of the debt minus the fees. Of course, what guests give separately is taken by the individual.”
The men staring at me without saying anything. However, I had to explain first.
At some point, Jane is reading a magazine as if it’s not worth dealing with. The guard guy hadn’t been seen all day, probably running errands.
“Once you enter the room, it counts.”
Are you listening correctly? You look at me with very cloudy eyes. It seems that the hardships so far have been quite severe.
“There is nothing difficult, just pouring a drink and talking. By listening carefully.”
Actually, that’s difficult.
“If you force yourself to drink, tell me.”
You can hold it in your mouth and then spit it out into the beverage container. Still, it’s not like there’s a lot of truth.
But with the rapidly darkening atmosphere, I had to change the topic. I didn’t know what to say.
“Ah. We don’t have a lot of clothes and exposure. Look at me.”
Are you glad?
I tapped my chest. A suit over a shirt is neatly worn.
If it was like other Changgwan, the shirt would be made of transparent material, let alone buttons. Of course, it’s not about being pretentious.
Wait a minute, but I was also a person with experience.
“Puheup!”
Jane closed the magazine and laughed. She looks at me in bewilderment and she walks this way.
“Don’t worry too much. Bocchan, there are some who got them cheaply from other stores. You don’t have to teach it from scratch. Maybe even more skillful?”
From what I’ve heard, the other Changgwan is quite high level. There is nothing to say if there are veteran-level kids in the mix.
The fluttering hem of Jane’s dress shakes strangely every time she walks. She asks men in her determined voice.
“Everyone, don’t you answer?”
Only then do they answer in a small voice.
“Yes. I will keep that in mind.”
“Ah. All right.”
But most of them looked exhausted, so I said one more thing. In fact, it may be a bit of a no-brainer.
“Don’t be so intimidated. Make it your goal to pay off your debt quickly and get out.”
It’s not like there’s an increase in skills that are distinctive enough to live on anyway.
Isn’t it an industry that maintains its current status by selling youth?
I could feel that some of the men’s expressions had changed. It seems that there is very little hope in it.
“Meals will be provided, but it will add to the debt. If anything, there are ways to fill it with snacks when entertaining.”
Jane added to my words. Don’t even be mean
I slowly pulled on the handle on the shop door. A squeaking, fricative sound is engraved in my ears.
“Until we find accommodation, we have no choice but to stay together. However, I intend to provide as much convenience as possible. Let’s cheer up.”

Now it was time to slowly open.
