CHAPTER 306 – A DISPOSABLE POSITION, AN INDISPOSABLE POSITION
After warping to the palace, I caught one maid that passed by just in time and asked .
「Do you know where Iris is?」
「Princess must be in her office . I believe that the meeting has just ended」
「Alright」
I nodded and the maid left after bowing .
I walked towards Iris’s office .
『This is quite ridiculous』
「Hm?」
『Your attitude right now . You just asked a servant of the palace, asked her where their princess is . You didn’t even call their princess with an honorary word』
「I’ve met that maid several times . She’s a maid that knows me and Iris」
『Hmm, I see . If only you’d use that good memory with men』
「I’m trying to, even though I’m like this」
『Kukuku, I am quite curious on how you remember men when you were still in your previous world』
I walked along the corridors of the palace while chatting with the teasing Eleanor .
After a while, we arrived at Iris’s office . I saw plenty of officials and public servants come out .
Those guys glanced at me, then continued on their own businesses .
『And so? What about that?』
「What do you mean?」
『Do you know any of them?』
「……nope」
『Fortis was there though』
「Who’s that?」
『Kukuku, well, it’s a man』
I know that, but it’s just annoying, so I didn’t refute .
Since Eleanor spoke like that, it’s probably someone I’ve met somewhere . But it’s only tiring remembering men, there’s nothing good coming from it, so I just let it go .
More importantly, almost everyone left Iris’s office, and I can only feel one presence from inside, so I entered .
「Iris」
「Kakeru!」
Iris ran up to me with a smile as if a flower has bloomed .
One of Teresia’s Twin Flowers, Iris Teresia Mercouri .
She has a brighter and more impulsive personality compared to her sister Helene, and she’s a cute woman .
「What’s the matter, Kakeru? Do you need something from me?」
「Yeah, I came to see you」
「A-Are you speaking of……uhm, you know……」
Iris said while looking up at me and fidgeting .
“That would be for later,” I thought and took out an envelope .
「I came to give this to you」
「Eh? Ah! Okay」
Iris looked like it was not what she expected . She pouted her lips and sulked .
But, as soon as she received the envelope, her expression changed .
She returned to one of Teresia’s Twin Flowers from being a lovely girl .
「This seal……Kakeru, did you meet her?」
「Yeah . Dunamis Savum . I got it from her directly」
I flicked Eleanor who laughed “Kukuku” the instant I said that name and asked Iris .
「You knew her huh?」
「Yeah, after all, it’s not something that could be left alone」
「I see」
That’s true .
Dunamis calls herself the Emperor of Mercouri .
Usually, that would be a revolt .
For someone to call their self Emperor within the kingdom of the same name, it would be either a rebel or a criminal .
It is something serious, so Iris is informed as a member of the royalty .
「I shall take a look……mu!」
Iris opened the envelope and read the contents written inside .
Her expression turned even more sour .
「What was written?」
Although I was already orally told what was written, I still asked .
「It’s a written……thing, that the roads leading to Reiusu ought to be repaired……muu!」
「It’s written as an imperial edict huh」
Iris nodded with a solemn air .
As a princess, as someone who possesses the legitimate governing power, it seems to be a word that is hard to hear from her mouth .
「However, this too huh……」
「Do you know where it is?」
「I am informed . They are places that were postponed because of several reasons」
「I see?」
「However……muu! If this is true, then it is not something that must be postponed . Instead, it must be done with a high priority . It’s different from the report that I was given」
Iris held the letter tightly and stared at it with a fixed gaze .
It looks like she’s hesitating .
「Yosh」
「What are we going to do?」
「You should send people to recheck the situation . Then decide after that」
「Is it alright for Mercouri to do that? It would look as if we are following her imperial command」
「Honestly, it’s not that good . However, if these roads really need urgent repair, it is not the time for being concerned about that」
「Hmm」
「Perhaps it might cause a slight inconvenience for Elder Sister, but it is something solvable by bowing my head」
Her elder sisterーーHelene huh .
The inconvenience for Helene that she’s saying is probably when the other party attempts a rebellion or a revolutionary action, creating an inconvenience for Helene who is in charge of the army .
Iris decided to abide by Dunamis’s “imperial command” after becoming that determined .
「I understand the gist of it . There’s no need for you to push yourself」
「Eh?」
「There’s a certain noble of Mercouri living in that town . If that guy got seduced by a woman, got eager by himself, and arbitrarily repaired the roads leading to the town he’s living in, there won’t be any problem」
「……ah!」
Iris got surprised and looked straight at me .
「Kakeru……」
Iris said her gratitude with watery eyes .
「Thank you……I do not know how to return the favor……」
「You should just compensate with your body」
「Ah……! Un! Ahh……!」
Iris’s expression changed rapidly .
“What’s the matter,” I thought and stared at her while tilting my head .
「P-Please wait until the sun sets . I still have some work toーーah!」
I held Iris’s chin and kissed her .
I got even more attracted to her, seeing that she doesn’t forget what she needs to do even at this moment . I was almost unable to hold myself .
So I kissed her to endure it .
「I’ll be waiting for you」
「ーー! Un!」
Iris nodded with a smile that seemed as if a flower bloomed and quickly rushed out of the room .
That night, I thoroughly made love with Iris the whole night .
