Get ahead of the fallen heroine and make the minotaur the victim.

The little princess seemed much more reserved and gentle, occasionally agreeing with her twin brother, which was very cute.

Both of them were dressed the same as the eldest sister Delia, very formally, in noble gowns with white as the main color and gold embellishments. Just by looking at their attire and temperament, it was clear that they were royals.

Although Valentina's clothes are very tasteful, she is not wearing formal clothes that are inconvenient to move in. Instead, she is wearing a black silk short skirt that clearly shows the curve of her legs. The upper body is more like the clothes of an adventurer than a rich lady.

But even without the difference in clothing, Valentina's silver hair, which is different from the other royal family's golden hair, makes it immediately clear that she is different from the other royal family members.

"Who am I thinking? Isn't this Valentina? Is the investigation into the demons over?"

When the four met in a corridor, it was no surprise that the first person to speak was the little prince Elliot.

But his tone didn't seem like he was treating his sister at all. It was more like he was treating a subordinate, and it was very casual.

"…No, it's still too early. The demons are very good at disguising themselves, and we can't even guarantee whether there are any remnants in the capital."

Valentina, who was used to her brother talking so casually, just shook her head and answered the little prince's question directly without being humble or arrogant.

"What? I thought you, who was the hero in preventing the assassination of the palace, could solve it quickly. It seems that you are just like that."

When the little prince heard this, he seemed to have wanted to do this for a long time. He seemed disappointed, but in fact he was laughing happily.

He mocked Valentina's incompetence.

"Hey, Princess, although your brother is better than your elder brother Prince Mori, he doesn't seem to be much better. Why don't you give him a slap in the face to make him behave himself?"

Before Valentina could reply, the third person to speak was Noah.

He encouraged Valentina to take action in a tone of watching a show.

However, even after he said so, the little prince did not react at all. Who told Noah to only let Valentina notice him now?

Valentina was naturally happy to hear Noah say this.

The God must have said that because I was bullied! He has me in his heart!

She originally thought that her brother was just an enemy who made her feel bad.

But now it seems that there is nothing wrong with my brother!

At least being a villain allows her to be cared for by God!

187. Control, control each other

"Why are you silent? Are you ashamed?"

Little Prince Elliot, who didn't know that Valentina, who used to be able to defeat ten of him with one punch, could now kill a hundred of him with one punch, thought he had won and looked even more proud.

"But this is only natural. You were able to solve the incident because you were not at the scene. You are just a little older. If I were in the same situation, I would definitely be able to do better."

Little Prince Elliot really thought that Valentina had been left speechless by what he had said, so he spoke more and more outrageously, and at the end he even shook his hair with great pride.

This makes it seem as if he is the hero who solved the problem of the resurrected demons.

But in fact, he was the only royal child who was taken hostage.

In just a few words, Noah understood the personality of this character who did not have many roles in the original work.

To put it bluntly, isn't he just a middle school prince?

No matter their age or personality, they are all very immature.

What does it mean when conditions are the same? What do the conditions actually include?

He meant that location and age being the same as Valentina's would solve the problem, so rank, gender, appearance, and whether or not Noah had help wouldn't count as conditions?

Anyway, Noah can treat the little prince as a joke and not be disgusted by him, but it is definitely impossible to ask Noah to help.

There is nothing in it that would make others want to help him.

"Oh, forget it. Even if you can't do it, Brother will kill all the demons who intend to harm our country, right? Veronica."

Seeing that Valentina had remained silent, Prince Elliot, who had been provoking and praising the eldest prince, turned the topic to his sister.

The little princess, who had not spoken since the beginning, just stood aside awkwardly and looked at her twin brother's profile, nodded and agreed:

"Yes, yes, if you say so, it will be fine."

"Haha, yeah, then let's go, Veronica, Sister Delia is still waiting for us, and it would be a waste of time if we delay any further."

Seeing that his twin sister still had exactly the same idea as him, the little prince's mood became noticeably better.

He no longer paid attention to Valentina, but took a step forward and walked towards the direction where Noah and Valentina came from.

Although the little princess was a little hesitant, she still quickly caught up and did not say anything to Valentina alone.

When the little prince and the little princess passed by Noah, Noah just looked at them and did nothing.

Only after the two of them passed by did Noah turn around and talk to Valentina again:

"You are really patient. Don't you feel anything at all when someone younger than you talks about you like this, Princess?"

"…It's not like I don't have feelings for him. Elliot is quite cute."

At this time, Valentina, who was still watching the two people passing by her, also answered Noah's question with a smile.

But her comment was so strange that Noah suddenly felt unhappy.

The villain queen can certainly tolerate her subordinates, but the prerequisite is that the subordinates are her own talents.

This kind of tolerance of rebelling against one's own brother is not the right thing to do. Isn't she still the righteous heroine who is innocent and simple and will be betrayed by the people around her?

So Noah said with a somewhat unhappy mood:

"I really didn't realize that your taste is so bad, Princess. Isn't your sister 10,000 times cuter than your brother?"

Although little Prince Elliot is an absolutely handsome boy, Noah doesn't think he is cute. He thinks the more well-educated little princess is cuter.

"Veronica is of course cute, but the cuteness of the two is completely different. Isn't it cute that Elliot behaves appropriately at the appropriate age?"

Valentina withdrew her gaze from her brother and looked at Noah again, a sinister smile appearing at the corner of her mouth.

——Eliot is such a good boy. In the future, I must make use of him to let God pay more attention to me.

Of course, Her Royal Highness the Princess would never say this.

"Ha, if that thing is cute, then I am cute, but if you mean cute like a Chihuahua, then I do agree."

Noah sensed that there was malice hidden in the princess' smile and thought it was directed at the little prince, so he started to smile evilly again.

It really can't be blamed on Noah's slowness. The main reason is that Valentina really has ill intentions towards the little prince.

In her eyes, her arrogant brother was just a tool to allow her and Noah to get close. He could be thrown away after use. He was not even as good as a Chihuahua.

However, Noah suddenly said something like "I am cute too", which almost made the princess unable to control her expression.

No matter how you look at him, there is nothing cute about Noah. He just looks like a bohemian and carefree young man.

But since he can say this, it seems that Noah is still somewhat cute, at least not zero.

"Hey, Princess, what's that look in your eyes? It's like you're forcing yourself to laugh. How about just laughing when you're feeling so uncomfortable?"

Noah, feeling as if he was being looked down upon, of course gave Valentina a somewhat rough and savage smile.

He even looked at her legs, giving people the feeling that he was going to forcibly take off the black stockings on Valentina's legs.

"I don't have any expression on my face. I just think you're very lonely and pitiful. So, are you envious of me having a family?"

Seeing Noah's preparation, the princess, who really wanted to be forced to take off her black stockings by Noah again, of course imitated Noah's way of speaking. She stared at Noah provocatively with a sarcastic smile on her face, eager to be attacked by Noah.

"Haha! Princess, you are wrong. I am not lonely at all. I still have you. As long as you are with me, I will never feel bored!"

Noah didn't think much about it and responded with the same sarcastic smile.

He had meant to say that Valentina was a toy to please himself.

But in the ears of Her Royal Highness the Princess, all she heard was "Don't I still have you?", which sounded like a confession.

In addition, Noah's expression was full of strength at this time.

The princess' heartbeat quickened immediately, and her cheeks flushed.

In order not to be exposed, Her Royal Highness the Princess had to immediately turn her back to Noah and leave alone, while trying hard to suppress her smile.

“…It’s terrible.”

"Haha, so that's a compliment!"

Because I was holding it in, the feeling of gritting my teeth was no different from being angry.

Noah didn't take it seriously and felt proud of himself for winning again.

——Heh, heh? God really needs me to accompany him! God is really something! He actually said such embarrassing words as if nothing had happened! This almost made me want to rush over and take off his clothes!

Fortunately, there is no one else in the corridor ahead, otherwise I would definitely see the princess's blushing face and cute (?) expression in her eyes filled with almost crazy love.

188. Princess: I have the advantage! (29)

When she met the others again in the corridor, Valentina had recomposed herself.

"Your Highness, you have worked hard!"

The two knights who were on guard looked much more excited when they saw Valentina passing by, and even their voices of greeting were very loud.

Seeing this situation, Valentina nodded and said a few words to the two of them.

From the perspective of Noah who was standing behind her, Her Royal Highness the Princess was indeed becoming more and more like a leader, but the intimacy she had as a princess had decreased a lot.

But in Noah's view, this is actually a good thing. The sense of intimacy is because of Valentina's inner need. When she is not welcomed by her family, she must have something to support herself, even if it is the support of strangers.

And the loss of intimacy means that Valentina's heart has become strong enough that she no longer needs to rely on others.

Something like intimacy can also be replaced by prestige.

Just like now, even though Valentina only said a few words, the two knights were full of energy as if they were supported by their idol.

This was something only Valentina could do. When they were asked a few random questions by Princess Delia, they would only feel nervous, wondering if they had done something to make the princess unhappy again.

However, for Valentina herself, she does not think being respected is something to be proud of.

But it was this point that made Delia unhappy.

The thing that Delia values ​​most is not important to Valentina. How can Delia not be angry?

In fact, the eldest princess was also in the room today, and she was annoyed when she heard the maid report that many people were praising Valentina.

But that had nothing to do with Valentina, she only cared about Noah.

But unfortunately, Noah doesn't only care about her.

After saying goodbye to the knight, Noah accompanied Valentina to wander around the palace for about thirty minutes.

Because nothing happened, in game terms, there was no plot at all, not even side quests or special dialogues.

So Noah took a sneak peek at what was happening over there with Sister Clotilde.

Then he decided to leave, because it was obvious that Clotilde was more worthy of his attention.

"Boring, really boring, so uninteresting. I thought the palace would become more tense after such a big incident, but it turns out there's nothing special. I might as well go somewhere else to have fun."

When Noah said that on purpose.

The princess replied in the same disgusted voice as always:

"Nothing is a good thing, okay? You feel bored in this rare peaceful time. Then go somewhere else."

It turned out that this was what Noah was waiting for.

"That's right. I'll go find some fun somewhere else. After all, the situation 'over there' is something I'm concerned about. See you tomorrow, Princess."

"?!"

Noah, who had been following her as if he couldn't get rid of her, immediately turned around and left after saying this, without any infatuation at all.

This made Her Royal Highness the Princess anxious. She quickly turned around to look at Noah, only to find that Noah had completely disappeared from her sight and had left the palace directly through his teleportation ability.

"..."

Now Her Royal Highness the Princess is filled with regret.

She didn't expect that Noah would really leave!

If I had known this I wouldn’t have been so direct!

She should have said that since she was bored, she could take Noah to have some fun!
