Cuckold Wizard's Adventure

Chapter 506 Tsubaki Negotiation

Edited by: Kanaa-senpai

Tsubaki, who had been unconscious, wakes up unexpectedly. Her blackouts lasted only a short time. She collapses on the cold wooden floor, but when she wakes up, she is sleeping on the futon.

As she lies on the futon, Tsubaki’s eyes meet with Iris’s, who is sitting by her bedside, her blue hair tied in a knot on either side. She knew immediately that she was the one who had checked on her when she fainted.

”...Are you feeling better?”

”Y-yes... I’m fine...”

”T-then, I’ll go get Shinji, desu”

Iris stands up and heads to the next room, and Tsubaki, who has only her upper body up, looks away from her. Looking at her chest, she sees that her kimono, which was supposed to be stained with a nosebleed, is still there, only the stain is gone.

(This is magic, isn’t it? It’s amazing...)

While she is thinking absent-mindedly, Shinji arrives at the same time as Iris. The room where Tsubaki was sleeping is the next room to the one where Shinji and the others were mingling. Therefore, the room is still clean.

”Princess, I’m very sorry about this...”

”Eh? No, it was my sudden visit, and, well, I was wondering if it was appropriate to ask to come over. But then I fainted...”

”I’m sorry you had to see something inappropriate. I apologize again”

”P-please don’t worry about it... I had my own faults too...”

Tsubaki’s face turned bright red at this terrible blunder. And unable to face Shinji who sits next to her and bows deeply, she says something like she forgives him without any blame. Meanwhile, after causing her to faint, Shinji had been thinking that this could be a weakness, but he was relieved and grateful to Tsubaki’s forgiveness.

”Thank you very much. So, princess. What is it that brings you here alone at this late hour of the night?”

Tsubaki is trembling with embarrassment, but when she hears Shinji’s words, she breathes in and out heavily to calm herself down. It took a few seconds for her face to change from that of a red and embarrassed woman to that of a princess of a country, but Shinji did not speak a word during that time. Now, after Tsubaki is calm, she sits upright on the futon and looks into Shinji’s eyes.

”I believe Shinji-sama is planning to leave the castle tomorrow. And you don’t intend to visit the castle again, do you?”

”...I doubt that will be the case. The exchange of information is over. We return to our search. Now that we know they’re not in the city, there’s no need for us to come”

Coincidentally, Shinji’s words served as a reminder to Tsubaki, who had already made up her mind to make a decision. But that is precisely why Tsubaki speaks her words so openly.

”Yes. That’s right. I’m going against my father’s policy. If I save the country from disaster, it will be my right to choose my husband. And I will be the ruler and rule the land”

It took Shinji a while to understand what Tsubaki was saying with her straight eyes. He wondered how difficult it would be for a woman to do this in a society where women are expected to take a step back. But it was also true that Shinji found it interesting.

”Are you serious? How difficult would it be for a princess like you to become a ruler with no precedent and no one to support you?”

”What’s the use of precedent? If I just follow my father who wants to protect the country without any concrete plan, destruction will be inevitable. Then, I have no choice but to do it myself”

Tsubaki stands up in a fit of anger and gazes at Shinji, who remains seated. The heat in her eyes was befitting a princess and the only princess in the land.

”I am Tsubaki. I am the princess of Soukai Country. If I do not do what is right for my country and my people, who will? So, Shinji-sama. When I become queen, I will use my power to fulfill your wish. Therefore, please help us in this national crisis”

Shinji felt as if he had witnessed the moment when Tsubaki’s sleeping talent had sprouted. Or should one say, a talent that attracts people. If he had been in a more free position before he met Alvin and the others, he might have offered his help.

However, Shinji now has a lot of things to do and a lot of things to bear. He could not take the risk. That’s when a thought came to his mind.

[Shinji, it’s bad]

[What’s wrong? Freri?]

Freri’s words came as an unexpected surprise to Shinji, who was inwardly surprised by the thought that showed she was in a great hurry.

[Tenshou Country may catch uncle and aunt]

[What...?]

Shinji swallows his reply to Tsubaki and falls silent.
