71 – Mountain Climbing-6

“The princess called me, and personally, it’s an honor that couldn’t be greater. However, in this situation, I can’t help but ask for my opinion. ..”

Daisy thought this was too big a case for her to handle.

While running the Coliseum, she wasn’t the only one dealing with easy business. I jumped into things that I thought were risky without hesitation, and I wasn’t afraid of change and risk.

In the first place, if that was the case, she would not have inherited the Colosseum and reformed sword fighting before she came of age.

“However, it has to do with Evan, the gladiator. He also left a message to talk to Miss Daisy first.”

“That, that’s…”

But she had nowhere to run.

What Evan gave her credit for was her respect for her. Respect and consideration for the businessman who manages the Colosseum.

But, at times like this, I just wish she would have acted a little bit wilder.

“He… Said so.”

Either way, if Evan clearly decides on a course and Daisy approves of it, then there is no turning back.

No matter how much you belong to the imperial family, you cannot arbitrarily borrow and use a man without your permission.

If Evan refused, he would have rejected the princess’ proposal without the need for Daisy’s doctor to enter.

Even if there was no real authority, Daisy had the right to formally manage the outside activities of the gladiators. It was too much pressure.

“…Good.”

However, if he was going to give up on Evan to this extent, he would not have accepted him from the beginning.

Considering the enormous salary he earned and the prestige of the Colosseum, this amount was tantamount to a tax he had to bear.

Of course, it was human nature for my hands to shake when I tried to pay taxes, so it was unavoidable.

“Can you tell me specifically when and how Evan-nim leaves?”

“Right now, it’s not confirmed. But if he invites Evan-sama, he’ll have a simple duel or sword dance within the imperial family.”

Daisy pursed her lips.

It wasn’t that there weren’t gladiators who crept in among the nobility. However, most of them are villains. Or they were treated like vulgar people.

“After…”

A despicable act of sending up a gladiator of insufficient skill and then confronting a knight of outstanding skill to be humiliated, or seeing them fighting each other and consuming it with ‘disgust’.

It wasn’t something Daisy would argue with, since he paid a lot and the gladiators were able to mingle with the nobles, but it wasn’t something he was very happy with.

“Could you tell us a little bit more? We also need to be concerned about Evan’s condition…”

Although his physical strength is unrealistic, he was just a novice gladiator who hadn’t practiced sword fighting for even a year.

It would be a huge loss to Daisy if he couldn’t fight because of mental or physical problems.

I don’t know if it would be beneficial for Evan to cut his face with the imperial family, but to put it a little calmly, it was ambiguous to Daisy.

Right now, I was earning enough money through Evan. Converting his popularity into money required more preparation and time.

It was unknown how much the popularity of the imperial family would help Gladiator Evan.

If he wanted money or something of value, that wouldn’t be very helpful if he wanted to become a gladiator.

“When the decision is made, let me know. I will deliver it to Evan.”

Even so, it was not something she could refuse.

“Thank you for your cooperation.”

Daisy let out a sigh of relief.

She is a princess. And that, the next emperor is the likely heir to the empire.

‘Isn’t this enough to call it a half-republic?’ It was the political system of the empire that I wanted, but in general, I was a person who did not need to intervene in trivial matters like this.

If she had just had her subordinates give Daisy orders, she would have had to accept them regardless of her will.

Even though she was a member of the imperial family, who was much lower in rank than she was, there was no one who spoke her courtesy to commoners like this.

“…Thank you for your hard work.”

But such kindness was not something that would comfort Daisy. After all, it was she who came between Evan and her princess.

Even after her princess left, Daisy was still thinking about what was going to happen next.

“A man who can fight… This isn’t bad. Can you put those savages on the bridge of their noses?”

“It must be entertainment that suits the taste of Northern guys. It’s not bad. Those friends aren’t polite either… Not crossing the border, but just before arriving at the imperial palace, announcing that they’re coming.”

Surprisingly, Iris was able to quickly find a situation where she could use Evan.

She

When she spoke to Evan, she said ‘just in case…’, But she didn’t know that the opportunity would come so soon.

“All those savages are like that, well.”

“Watch your mouth.”

“Then, what should I do? It was a little burdensome to have a man fight directly, but…”

“If he doesn’t fight, it’s meaningless. If he doesn’t pick up his sword, they’ll mistakenly think that a man who’s just been groomed is wearing armor.”

It was a common sense decision. Because he knocked Logan down, and even Iris, who knew he was active as a gladiator, did.

Until he went directly to the gladiatorial arena, he had doubts about his fights.

“It would be better to prepare a suitable opponent and engage in a simple sword fight. It would be better to save someone in the Colosseum.

“If it’s a healer, wouldn’t the imperial family’s healers be much better?”

“Even when they shed blood a few hours ago, they quickly went around with a decent face. They’re experts in their field, so there’s no need to take risks.”

“In the worst case, we might be able to pass the blame on.”

“Well… Maybe.”

“That’s good!”

The princess, with her complex face, was looking at her subordinate in front of her.

It was a beautiful figure. A woman like that might catch a man’s eye more than Iris, who looks ordinary for a member of the royal family.

The Pungi Guard let her know that her men were meeting with Logan.

She didn’t know who she was. She wasn’t even faultless. It was both natural and encouraged for a man to meet other women than his wife.

She had no reason to call it cheating, and it didn’t change anything just because she pointed it out.

However, it wasn’t a very happy experience to admit that her close friend was that way with her fiancé.

“Hmm? Why is that?”

As if she didn’t even realize she was caught, she looked at Iris’s face with a nonchalant expression.

Congratulation. You should express your gratitude.

The reason I couldn’t satisfy Logan was because Iris’s own charm was lacking, and instead, she should feel sorry for her subordinates who are satisfying him.

The reason why she can’t do that is probably because Iris’ heart is narrow. Thinking so, she closed her mouth and finished her work and went back to her house.

“Woe, Her Majesty the Princess…”

“What is it?”

The atmosphere was not good. It was a bad sign for a maid to come out to a place like this to greet her.

“That, Logan… I’m not in a good mood. I’m staying somewhere else for a while…”

“What happened?”

“I’m sorry to tell you now… I’m really sorry, but please…”

Right now, the power wasn’t very strong, and she didn’t even live in the imperial palace, it was her.

Although he is said to be closest to power, the emperor is still young.

It was decades before she became her emperor, and even now some humans believe she will never be her emperor.

However, she never thought that even if she was like that, she would be treated like this.

“This is my home. My home bestowed by the emperor. Where are you asking me to leave this place?”

Iris made an emotional choice she hadn’t looked down on many times in her life.

Her body was tired. She was flocking

Aside from taking care of Evan’s affairs, as a princess, she had numerous official duties to perform.

She enjoyed watching the sword fighting, but she didn’t think it would take away her tiredness.

However, it was not the maid in front of her who answered her question.

“…Then do I have to say it with my own mouth?”

Logan was in front of her. Iris, she could feel his eyes twisting with anger.

“Logan. Excuse me for showing you ugliness-“

“I’m sorry! I’ll try to explain it well, somehow misunderstanding-“

Surprisingly, it was the maid in front of her who interrupted her. A loyal maid who served her for a long time.

“Shut up!”

The lady-in-waiting was kicked by Logan, clutching at her stomach and making a squeaking sound.

“What is this? No matter how you are, this is unacceptable…”

“Are you the one who did wrong first? Tell me. What happened to Evan?”

Logan’s haughty voice caught Iris’ ears.

As if it was clear that she was a sinner, a malevolent voice full of conviction and disgust.
