BXBX NOVEL Chapter 33: Entertaining the Princess
Chapter 33: Entertaining the Princess
I spent the next few days doing another work.
I teaches at the knight order, goes on urgent missions as an adventurer, and teaches classes as a part-time lecturer at a magic academy.
I was free today, so I decided to go tutoring.
I guess I\'ll be working without a break for a while...... I\'m sure I\'ll have plenty of money to spare because of that.
As I headed for the castle, I saw a large crowd gathered in front of the castle gate.
There are rows from the drawbridge to the inside of the castle.
「What\'s going on?」
I asked a knight I knew who was standing beside me.
「Kaizer-san, thank you for your hard work. Actually......, The princess, who was bored out of her mind, said that she would reward those who entertained her. There are people from all over the capital who think they can entertain the princess.」
「So that\'s what happening」
No wonder so many of them were dressed so strangely.
They are probably entertainers or a bard.
Is that a circus troupe......?
There were clowns and beastmasters, and I even saw a lion in chains.
I mean, is it okay? Bringing in a lion. If it rampaging in front of the princess, the whole circus troupe could be decapitated.
「But after all of that I\'m sure the princess will be entertained.」
「No, no one has been able to entertain the princess yet. I\'ve tried, but it ended in disaster.」
「Is that so. What did you do, by the way?」
「Naked dancing.」
「Eh......」
「The princess looked at me as if she was looking at garbage. But I was ridiculously well received by Her Majesty the Queen, so I didn\'t get fired.」
「…………」
Her Majesty the Queen, you\'re quite fond of that kind of thing, aren\'t you?
It was kind of surprising.
「You can try it if you like, Kaizer-san. If you do well, you\'ll get a huge reward.」
「I\'ll think about it.」
I left the knight and stepped into the castle.
From the other side of the line of people waiting to present their acts to Prim, those who had finished their cues came strolling toward the exit.
I guess it didn\'t work out.
Everyone\'s shoulders slumped and they were dejected.
「Ah, its Papa」
Among them was the figure of my beloved daughter.
「Meryl, you\'re here too?」
「I heard that if you entertain the princess, you get a lot of rewards. After my Papa and family, I like money?」
Meryl forms a circle with her thumb and forefinger.
She\'s cash girl.
「How\'d it go? 」
「Hmm, It didn\'t work. The princess didn\'t even twitch. I\'m always entertain the kids in the residential area.」
Meryl puckered her lips in frustration.
「Maybe I should have shown her something special. For example, I could have used space-time magic to send the princess flying, or I could have used magic to tear this castle to pieces.」
「Don\'t you ever do that!」
It has gone far beyond the level of a performance.
That\'s already a case.
「Did Papa come here to perform for the princess, too?」
「I\'ve been asked to tutor the princess.」
「Buu...... Papa, lately you\'ve been leaving me alone with the girls outside. The girl from the knights, the blonde girl from the adventurer\'s guild...」
「You know it well」
「I\'ll always be watching Papa?」
I pat Meryl on the head and start walking again.
Standing in front of the door of the King\'s Chamber.
「Uwaaa! This is bad! Somebody get over here!」
A voice came from behind the massive door.
I open the door as if I\'ve been pried open.
In the king\'s room was the circus troupe I had seen earlier.
The beastmaster, as well as the clown, were so dismayed that I could see it through their makeup.
I mean...
The chain that held the lion had been removed and it was on the loose.
Knights surrounded the lion with swords and spears at the ready.
However, in the face of the ferocious beast, they were atrophied.
Her Majesty the Queen was smiling.
「Oh dear, what a performance」
And I don\'t have a good understanding of the situation in front of me.
「Now things are finally starting to get a little interesting.」
Prim grinned her mouth.
I\'m not too upset.
Do you see the current situation like a coliseum?
「Ka...Kaizer-san! Please lend us a hand!」
「We can\'t do this on our own!」
「I ask you to protect the princess and the queen!」
When the knights noticed my appearance, they sent a desperate request for help. Then the circus troupe gave me the same look.
I\'m not here to fight, but ...... I don\'t have a choice.
I stood in front of the knights and faced the lion.
Its growling and roaring
There was a glint of hostility in his eyes.
「Garrrrr!」
He jumped at me.
As I ducked, its claws tore through the space where I had been a few moments before. I glare at the lion as it turns on its heel toward me.
「Stay down...」
「Guga......!?」
A glint of fear passed through the lion\'s eyes.
In this instant, he must have sensed the overwhelming difference in power. The hostility that had been building up in his entire body deflated like a balloon with a hole in it.
I walked up to the shriveled lion.
「Hand」
「Kun......」
The lion placed his left hand on the right hand that I held out.
「Oh! Its tame!」
「He\'s as sullen as an abandoned dog on a rainy day.」
「All right! Put the collar and leash back on!」
Once again, the lion had to be collared.
He showed no more signs of resistance.
Looks like we\'ve got it all worked out.
「Her Majesty the Queen! Princess! I\'m very sorry!」
The members of the circus troupe were all on their knees at the same time.
「No, no, no. Please don\'t worry about it~」
Sonia responded with a smile.
The circus performers repeatedly apologized to Prim and Sonia, and after receiving their forgiveness, they came up to me and said
「Thank Goodness. If anything had happened to the princess or the queen, everyone here would have been beheaded.」
「That\'s good to know」 I say
「Kaizer, you\'re finally here. I\'ve been bored while you were away. That is why I have organized this event.」
Prim said.
「But there was nothing that made my heart skip a beat. There were a few ripples, but it was as still as a calm.」
「I had a lot of fun, didn\'t I?」
「Your mother\'s a very funny woman.」
「Ufufu. The knight\'s naked dance was the best of all. I think I\'ll ask her to do a naked dance at the next meeting with other countries.」
I think you should definitely stop.
「Kaiser. I\'m very bored. Entertain me.」
「Entertain......?」
I pondered for a while and then came up with an answer.
「Well, I have an idea. It doesn\'t mean I\'ll hold an event, but I\'m sure the princess will enjoy it.」
