Struggling People (6)
“Ah, wait!”
“Don’t let her get away!”
The residents tried to chase after Ester, who was running away at an unbelievable speed, shouting unintelligible things, but the residents who were chasing her easily lost her, wondering how she could go so fast in her sloppy running style.
“Terrible, terrible, if I become queen, I can make everyone happy with this country’s money, why are you tormenting me?”
Ester’s [everyone’s happiness], which she exclaimed while running fast and making no sense at all, was really something that made no sense whatsoever, which was to party every day with the money of the nobles and royalty.
As long as she could give them [happiness], she didn’t care what happened to them after. It was their fault if they were unhappy from that point on, Ester thought without question.
Although Ester seemed to be getting away despite being cornered to this point, her uniform was shabby, her beautiful pink-blonde hair was messy, and there were scrapes and blood stains on her cheeks and knees from where she had bumped into things.
Ester’s current appearance was not as lovely as it once was, and even those who knew her would have a hard time immediately identifying her as a princess.
It was all the fault of that wicked young lady Yurushia. If only she weren’t there, the world would revolve around her, she thought…
“Why don’t you people understand!”
Ester ran around the Capital, avoiding the crowds, until she stopped in a deserted alley, breathing heavily.
“Oh, are you tired?”
“Hiiiiii!”
Suddenly, hearing a voice in her ear and a gentle rubbing of her cheek, Ester screamed and rolled away with her hand on her cheek.
“Na, na, what are you doing! No matter how cute I am, I don’t have such interests!”
“Don’t worry, I don’t either.”
Yurushia smiled as she squinted her eyes, staring at the blood from Ester’s cheek on her finger while muttering some unintelligible words.
The blood began to glow faintly, and in front of Ester, who stood up with a bad feeling, Yurushia licked off the blood with a charming gesture, not unlike Ester’s 13-year-old self, and finally licked her own lips.
“Hey, what are you doing!”
Where did Yurushia appear from? How did she catch up with her?
Ignoring these questions, Ester tried to let her emotions take over, but as she tried to move forward, she stumbled forward and was surprised to find that everything she possessed was gone.
“What the…?”
“Fufu. Thanks for the meal.”
Seeing Yurushia’s eyes glowing slightly red, Ester was terrified for the first time of the unfathomable existence of someone other than the Queen.
“No, no, iyaaaa!!”
With the last of her energy drained, Ester staggered back to her feet and escaped. Yurushia waves her hands at her, smiling.
Who was that thing? What did it want? Ester, not understanding what was going on, started running as fast as she could as usual, but without reaching her maximum speed, she stopped short of breath after 100 meters.
“Haaah, haaah…why…?”
For some reason, she couldn’t run well anymore. Ester thought that she must be getting tired because she had run quite a bit up to this point, and when she tried to stop the carriage that was running nearby using [charm], it almost ran over her and she hurriedly avoided it.
“Wha, that’s dangerous!”
“You’re the one who is dangerous! What the heck do you think you’re doing, jumping out of a moving carriage?”
Ester shouted back at him, and the people around her gave her a blank look.
“If I return to my country, I will definitely execute you! Idiot, idiot!!!!”
“Ah, wait a minute!”
