094 – Master and Pet #1

Kiiik-.

I opened the door and went in.

What greeted me was the sight of Aira elegantly enjoying a tea party amidst the luxurious furniture, bed and table.

She probably just took a shower as she was wearing a light pink silk robe and had wet hair, which looked stunning.

The table had various dolls such as a bear and a rabbit. The moving teacups were a scene ripped straight out of a fairy tale.

“Welcome, Theo. I was just playing chess. I was thinking about having tea afterwards. Would you like to have a drink?”

“Thank you, Your Highness.”

“Then, have a seat.”

I sat down on an empty chair. The rabbit and the teddy bear, who were sitting next to me, started turning their heads as I looked at them… It was quite eerie, but I couldn’t complain.

“So what brings you here, Theo? Care to play chess with me?”

“Of course, my lady.”

I looked at the chessboard placed in front of Aira, which quickly arranged itself.

I was playing the black pieces.

While Aira got the white pieces.

“Then, you go first, Theo.”

“All right.”

I grabbed the black pawn in the left corner, but soon realized that I could never win this game.

Heavy.

It was because the pawn piece was heavy enough to weigh dozens of kilos. I didn’t know how this little thing got so heavy, but I just couldn’t lift it.

“What are you doing? It’s your turn.”

“I’ll… pass my turn.”

“Okay then, I will start with my knight.”

Dalgak-.

Aira moved her knight without touching it. It seemed that this was a kind of training where Aira learned to better control her telekinetic powers.

I knew that Aira’s magic was amazing, but now that I started to embark on the road of magic, it became clear that Aira’s level couldn’t be described just by the word ‘amazing’.

“Come to think of it, I heard that some interesting people have arrived at Ark.”

Jjoreureuk-.

Aira said, pouring black coffee-like tea directly into my cup. I took a sip and asked.

“Interesting people?”

“They say it’s a warrior’s party. I heard that there are strong people who have united around a strange hunter.”

‘Ah.’

So she was talking about the main character’s party…

I wanted to warn Aira about them and to not get involved with them. But Aira was a step faster than me.

“One of them came to me and said some strange things.”

“Truly?”

The hunter party contacted Aira first!? That shouldn’t have happened! Because Aira, who had not become a tyrant, would not have been an interesting target to the hunter.

Was there any reason why they approached Aira in the first place?

“So the hunter met Aira-nim?”

“By hunter, do you mean that tall and weird-looking man? No, that fellow didn’t come. Instead, it was a short and strange guy.”

If it was a short, strange guy, then was it the guide?

“Was it the guy with a hood on?”

“Yeah, he somehow reminds me of Theo, but a bit different.”

I was worried about what the guide said to Aira. After all, I’d been trying hard to reform her.

“What did you two talk about?”

“Huhuhu-. Are you jealous, Theo?”

“Jealous?”

“Yes. You look jealous, Theo. Are you worried that I’ll leave you and keep someone else as a servant?”

“…….”

Now that I heard it, that could be the case.

But Aira smiled leisurely.

“Don’t worry, that isn’t something you should be worried about. However, we did have some weird conversations. It was about my family.”

“Family as in the King, Queen and Princesses…?”

I shut my eyes tight.

Aira’s family died one after another in just a year or two, for different reasons and in different ways.

I didn’t know anything about psychopathology, but everyone could see that the shock and trauma brought by the death of her family was contributing to Aira becoming a broken Queen.

So, if possible, I tried to not bring anything up regarding Aira’s family.

And then this bunch just came and decided to pull a fast one on me?

Weren’t they fųcking me up on purpose?

I couldn’t help but be angry at this development.

However, that anger was immediately quenched by Aira’s next words.

“He said he knew why my family died.”

“Is that true!?”

Aira could easily see through lies.

Everyone lived by telling a certain amount of lies so one couldn’t just believe what others say.

“Did he really know why?”

If that was a lie, then Aira’s hatred might start, and the fight between the hunter party and Aira would begin.

But if it turned out to be true, the influence of that guide would grow on Aira. I couldn’t even imagine Aira listening to others…

In a way, this was the ordinary Queen life I was envisioning. Aira getting along with people other than me and listening to their opinions.

But, somehow, it didn’t feel right. At least it should be someone I know, and not some unknown guide.

As I thought, it was best to deal with him.

But how?

Should I ask Kalira to assassinate him?

No. By then, I would be no different from the original Theo Gospel and might end up opposing the hunter party. In the end, I would simply get beaten up and executed.

It was not good to be associated with the hunter party.

As I was thinking about various things, Aira said.

“Don’t worry, my ears will never listen to anything other than your voice. You’re more than enough~.”

She then got up and started stroking my hair. I was not sure if I should be happy or uncomfortable with this.

Then I became curious.

Was I really enough for Aira?

Was she telling me the truth?

After all, the text on Aira’s status window said otherwise.

「Hiding the deadly truth from everyone.」

I’d like to ask what those words meant.

But, there was really no good way of going about this.

So I just asked moderately.

“Queen Aira, are you perhaps hiding something from me…?”
