CHAPTER 229

“Naoko-chan, welcome back. Did you have a good time?”

“Mia-san, I’m sorry if I caused you trouble. Tomorrow there will be another feast and I will have to officially invite the royalty of Vilikis to attend the wedding. Do you have any ideas on how I can escape that? As you are aware by now, we must do everything we can to avoid the marriage.”

“I don’t think I can help. But if something were to happen I think they might cancel the feast. The safety of people is more important than some banquet, but this is merely my opinion Naoko-chan. Do your best.”

Oh, good thinking Mia. I’m going to cross my fingers and hope some monster attacks. Maybe this [Object of Desire] title can finally prove useful. This thing has brought me nothing but trouble, hopefully this time it would not disappoint me.

I let Mia return to her room and I made sure to deactivate all concealing skills that I used to suppress the power of my titles and skills. This way I have the highest hope of attracting some weird things. Add on the power of [Charm] and new [Mental Fortitude] skill, the effect should be quite powerful.

Hmm… now that I think about it, if I steal the Sword of Fire, I bet it would cause a lot of trouble. I don’t think anyone would be able to remain calm if an item representing the kingdom were to go missing all of a sudden. Perfect! It has been decided. Tonight I will be acting as a selfish brat and steal from royalty just to gift it to me. I couldn’t help but laugh out loud as I made plans to break into the Royal Treasury and other places where the sword could be placed.

“I came here to see you being depressed after you stormed out earlier, but seeing you like this, I am disappointed. Looks like I am here for nothing.”

“You bastard, I am still angry with you. Lucky for you I am busy right now. I’ll deal with you later. Now shoo!”

The Archduke simply appeared on my window. He didn’t even bother using the door like a normal person. Seeing as I was not even bothered by it shows just how much I am used to his weird antics.

“So what is keeping you so entertained? Care to let me in on whatever you’re doing? Who knows I might even be able to help you out.”

“No, go away!”

“I’ll give you half a million DP”

“Deal!”

When I checked the available DP and it increased by half a million I told him what I was planning on doing tonight. I just said it was to complete the collection, but kept silent about the part to cancel the invitation presentation tomorrow. If he knew that he would definitely not allow me to do anything.

“You’re finally willing to make disturbances on the scale that I like. But aren’t you being too obvious about it. The Sword goes missing while you are staying in Vilikis. If they detain all of us it will be found out sooner or later. They can borrow the Stick of Truth and then you would be discovered.”

“Thanks for reminding me about that, I still need to pay you back for all that lost food. If it weren’t for you I wouldn’t have lost hours and hours of painstaking work I put into it. One day I will have you begging me for mercy.”

He just smiled. Tsk, he really needs a beating. One day I will definitely make him wipe that smile from his face and put him in his place. Right below my feet.

“I don’t mind you stealing the sword, but you should do it after the feast tomorrow. I will be staying here tonight and keeping watch to ensure you don’t try anything silly.”

“Screw you! Don’t you have any shame? How can you stay in the same room with a maiden like me? If others hear about it, my reputation, wait a second. No, please, stay for the night. I would be happy to have you around.”

Oh, if Vitou happens to see the two of us together, hehe, if it spreads to the public, hehehe. I can totally ruin my wedding this way. There is no way it would be acceptable for me to become his wife that way.

I looked at the Archduke while licking my lips and rubbing my hands. The behavior is completely unsuitable for someone like me, an innocent maiden, and I could swear I saw his shiver for a moment as he looked at me, before composing himself.

“Stop your wild fantasies, to the outside world, the two of us are siblings. Don’t think that you can do anything under my watch. Just behave, unless you want me to put another curse on you. Stick to your thieving plans, those are more appropriate for you. At least I can be sure you won’t become the scrooge of the kingdom.”

“Tsk, you’re lucky that I have only been in this world for such a short time. If it had been otherwise you would be dead. Well, figuratively.”

I should have known that this would not have worked out with him around. I really can’t go against him. He moved to the sofa and laid down showing his intention of not leaving my room tonight. I guess my only option is to count on the power of my title to bring some disaster this way which will prevent the party from happening tomorrow.

“Oh, the other reason why I came here is because I sensed you releasing your powers fully, so I’m here to suppress the effect. Sleep well my Nao-chan.”

“Jerk! Asshole! I hope you stub your toe every time you go to bed!”

I threw the slipper that I had at him and went to hide under the covers, but ironically as I did that I stubbed my toe and screamed out in pain. I also made sure to shout out some more curses and blame him for everything.
