Chapter 81 – The Prime Royal Family
Yuder was usually a rational person.
A person who is extremely rational, logical, and cool-headed when considering pros and cons.
But it wasn’t the current Yuder.
Deep annoyance.
A state where blood rushes to the head and calculations cannot be done.
Yuder’s emotions began to overwhelm his reason.
At the same time, a light like that of a wild beast began to appear in Yuder’s eyes.
Naturally, it was Cordelia who first noticed this change in Yuder.
That’s why Cordelia couldn’t help but be embarrassed.
‘Hey hey hey! I just kissed her forehead! On her forehead!’
It didn’t work.
And even among the elves, there were those who noticed the change in Yuder.
No, the Spirit King himself noticed Yuder’s gaze.
“like.”
The storm and lightning spirit king, who resembled Zeus, laughed at Uther’s reaction instead of expressing anger.
Rather, he smiled as if he found it amusing and tried to kiss Cordelia’s forehead again.
But that was just then.
“Excuse me, let’s go back first.”
[What?]
“Please go in first.”
The contract is done, right?
Then go for now.
Because appeasing our Yuder is more urgent.
The Spirit King blinked as he caught sight of many of the words that had been omitted the moment he met Cordelia’s eyes, although not as much as Uther.
It had to be that way.
[Hey, I’m the Spirit King?]
“Okay, then I’ll see you next time.”
Since we’ve signed a contract, that’s it for now.
I will contact you later.
[No, I-]
That was it.
With the demand for the return of his contractor Cordelia and the magical power stored in the palace running out, the Spirit King of Storm and Lightning had no choice but to return to the Spirit World.
And right after that.
Yuder came in to fill the spot where the Spirit King had disappeared.
Uther walked briskly, almost running, and stood in front of Cordelia. Cordelia laughed awkwardly, then spread her arms as naturally as possible and spoke.
“Yay! I made a contract with the Spirit King! Spirit King. Yes, Spirit King. King of spirits. Yay~”
I even did a dance of joy, but it was a failure.
Instead of the Spirit King, Nabal, and Yuder rejoicing together, they took out handkerchiefs from their bosoms and began to wipe Cordelia’s forehead.
“Hey, Yudera?”
Then my makeup will be ruined?
But Uther wiped Cordelia’s pretty forehead clean and then kissed her lips.
once.
One more time.
One more sneaky moment.
Cordelia, who had been absent-mindedly kissed three times in a row – no, something that seemed like marking her territory – quickly sent another message spell.
[Hey, Yuder? So this is just, what should I say, a procedure for a contract? Like a finger-wagging or a handshake… Oh, right. Something like that.]
But this time, Uther simply pressed his lips to Cordelia’s forehead again.
Cordelia stamped her feet and sent the message magic again.
[No! Yeah, that’s right! It’s like a puppy licking your cheek! That’s what it is!]
Cordelia casually said something that would have made the Spirit King furious if he had heard it, but this time, it had no effect on Uther.
This is because even if the puppy had been like that in the first place, it would not have reacted to the extent it did now.
[Hey! Kang Yoo-der! Hey hey!]
As Uther placed a fifth kiss on her forehead, Cordelia pushed away Uther’s firm chest with both hands and sent another message spell.
[The ban on skinship is still in effect, right? If you keep doing this, I’ll get mad- No, I won’t get mad. I won’t get mad, so let’s do it later. Okay? Two, when it’s just the two of us. Okay?]
Unlike Uther, who could only see Cordelia because the blood was rushing to his head, Cordelia could see her surroundings very clearly.
Even the gazes of the elves looking this way.
‘Wait a minute, but isn’t he doing this on purpose?’
But still, it’s Yuder?
How can the world’s greatest Yuder lose his mind so much over something as trivial as this?
But it wasn’t the time to be nitpicking.
Moreover, the story just now seemed to have had an effect, as reason began to shine again in Yuder’s green eyes.
“When there are just the two of us.”
“Huh? Uh, yeah. When we’re alone······.”
Cordelia, her face red, lowered her head and began to wiggle her fingers, and Yuder, who was finally able to see his surroundings, coughed in vain at the elves’ gazes that were a mixture of bewilderment, surprise, and disbelief.
“Ahem.”
How should we handle this situation?
It wasn’t a problem that Uther himself kissed Cordelia’s forehead in front of others.
We’re engaged, so what’s the problem?
The real problem was that Cordelia had made a contract with the Spirit King.
‘The Spirit King of Storms and Lightning.’
It was a being that never properly appeared in the original work.
However, there was a memory of the Spirit King of the Heat Wave, who was of the same level.
If you ride the Red Wind Spirit Warrior Tech, the last thing you will encounter is the Spirit King of the Heat Wave.
‘An entity that is difficult to even summon completely.’
Even with the Red Wind’s power, it was impossible to fully draw out the Spirit King’s power.
Because it was such a huge and powerful being.
But the spirit king chose Cordelia.
Beating all the elves present.
‘A baby has eyes to see.’
I had a thought like that without realizing it, but it only lasted for a moment. I immediately shook off the distracting thoughts and analyzed the situation.
I made up a story based on what the Spirit King said and the current situation.
‘The spirits of storm and lightning who were cut off from the elves of the Eternal Forest for a long time.’
Princess Lyca and Prince Keltur, who wanted a contract with the Spirit King.
The two are very close, but there is political friction between them, perhaps because they have different biological mothers.
The reason for the strife is the biological mother of Prince Keltur, Viscountess Solphage.
‘It’s not the worst thing for Princess Lyca and Midas.’
The worst thing for either of them would be for the Spirit King to choose Keltur.
‘so.’
You can skip it.
There is room to talk.
Although the elves lost the Spirit King, they will still be able to make contracts with the regular spirits.
‘further.’
Cordelia was now a contractor for the Spirit King.
Even from the elves’ perspective, it could be said that they were beings that could not be treated carelessly.
‘There’s also a seventh sword dance.’
Since only Uther himself could perform the seventh sword dance, he had plenty of materials to trade with the elves.
And that was when it happened.
The elves, who had woken up from their surprise, began to stir.
Count Solphage glared at him, and Keltur looked at Princess Lyca with a puzzled expression.
And Princess Lyca came towards us with Midas.
“Uder, Cordelia.”
Princess Leica also looked very surprised and embarrassed.
Midas seemed a little angry.
He was a fairly rational person, but the circumstances were what they were.
Even if it was the Spirit King’s choice, he couldn’t help feeling like he had been taken away by a stranger, a human at that.
But in this place was Princess Lyca, and despite her young age, she acted like a member of the royal family.
[Just adjust it to this side.]
Princess Lyca, who had cast a short message spell, went to Cordelia, who was fidgeting with her fingers, and raised her hand in a flash and shouted.
“The contract with the Spirit King has been established! With this, we will once again be able to communicate with the spirits of storm and lightning!”
“Oh, oh, oh, oh!”
As Vanessa gave a hint to some of the knights, some began to respond awkwardly, and soon all the elves were clapping and cheering.
[Let’s talk about this in more detail later.]
Princess Lyca winked at Uder and Cordelia, stepped forward as if to cover them, and began her speech, capturing the attention of the elves.
And that was when it happened.
Vanessa, who had approached Uther and Cordelia without realizing it, whispered in a small voice.
“Follow me.”
Let’s get out of the way for a bit.
Since it was an offer they had no reason to refuse, Uther and Cordelia nodded and followed her out of the banquet hall.
“First, I’ll show you to your accommodations. If you wait there, Crown Princess Leica will come to see you.”
Originally, Uther and Cordelia had been invited to the palace as guests. Naturally, their accommodations had also been prepared.
“I… I hope something big won’t happen?”
When Cordelia asked a little timidly, Vanessa smiled and answered.
“Yes, because the two of them are the Crown Princess’s sworn friends.”
Because she is Princess Lyca’s person, not Keltur’s.
It was a rather political story, but since they agreed with it, Uther and Cordelia didn’t really object, but rather hurried along after Vanessa.
“and.”
Although I was out of my mind and couldn’t see properly, the court of the elves, who had become one with nature, was nevertheless extremely beautiful and splendid.
Cordelia, who was expressing admiration from the bottom of her heart, looked back at Uther and breathed a sigh of relief without realizing it.
Because it was exactly the same as usual.
‘Anyway.’
I have a lot of jealousy.
But a natural smile spread across Cordelia’s face.
I don’t know why, but I got excited again.
“They all came.”
Cordelia followed Vanessa into the room and exclaimed in admiration again.
Beyond the large, round window, the elven royal capital was spread out. It was so white and pretty that it felt like looking at a doll’s house.
And the plan wasn’t ordinary either.
The furniture, which was made by processing trees that had taken root on the ground rather than cutting them down, gave off a very mysterious feeling, and the light pouring in from the glass in the ceiling really exquisitely illuminated the room.
“Then take a rest.”
Vanessa winked faintly and closed the door as she left, and Cordelia collapsed onto the large bed in the middle of the room.
“Whoa.”
I breathed a sigh of relief.
That’s understandable, because now I feel like I’ve finally gotten out of the situation.
The sudden contract with the Spirit King and the explosion of jealousy in Yuder, as well as the bewildered elves.
“Ugh.”
Maybe it was because I was relaxed, but my body felt weak.
Cordelia collapsed to the side and closed her eyes.
But only for a little while.
“Hehehe.”
Spirit King.
I made a contract with the Spirit King.
He made a pact with the spirit king of storms and lightning.
Cordelia, feeling better, laughed heartily and lay on her side, kicking and shaking her body as if she were swimming.
‘I’ve never even tried the Elementalist Tech.’
First of all, the spirit king.
If we were to compare it to a warrior, should we say that he suddenly picked up the holy sword in the starting village?
“Hehehe.”
Anyway, it was good. I couldn’t help but feel the corners of my mouth and cheekbones trying to rise.
“Cordelia.”
“Yeah, Yuder.”
Cordelia opened her eyes while lying down, and Uther continued talking while sitting at her bedside.
“You know what?”
“what?”
“We… are the only two left?”
“uh?”
Cordelia blinked, then her face turned bright red.
Because I remembered what was said at the banquet hall.
‘Do it when there are just the two of you.’
What?
What kind of thing?
“Now, wait a minute.”
No, wait.
But it was no use. When I came to my senses, I found myself backed into a corner.
Cordelia herself was lying down, and Uther was sitting, leaning in towards Cordelia herself.
“Cordelia.”
Uder, speaking softly as if in a whisper, lowered his head. He pressed his lips to Cordelia’s forehead, who was still as if she had been captured, even holding her breath.
Gulp.
The moment her lips left his forehead, Cordelia swallowed dryly.
I let out a gasp of relief without realizing it.
Uther caressed Cordelia’s cheek.
He looked at Cordelia’s flushed, hot, and soft cheeks with his cool, large hands, and Cordelia let out another hot breath. Slowly, she closed her eyes and pursed her lips.
“Cordelia.”
Uder called again.
Instead of calming her pounding heart, Cordelia shrugged her shoulders and waited.
But it was at that very moment.
“Uh… Should I come back later?”
Princess Leica’s voice.
She appeared through a secret passage in the wall, not a door, and asked with a slightly apologetic expression, and Yuder lowered his head.
I had no choice but to do that.
“Princess Leica, you too.”
Are you taking Scarlett’s place?
Uther muttered something that only Cordelia could understand and stood up, and Cordelia raised her upper body with a face that was difficult to express.
And Princess Lyca, who met the eyes of those two people with a hint of resentment, smiled awkwardly and said.
“Well… first of all, I’m sorry.”
Uther looked at Princess Lyca with cold eyes, and Cordelia groaned before raising both hands to cover her reddened face.
