After the battle ended and everyone was cheering, Peroroncino quietly left and came to Renner's bedroom.
When Renner saw Peroroncino, she respectfully knelt in greeting.
"I'm curious, why didn't you participate in the battle? If you did, you would have gained the support of quite a few people!"
"Master, I feel that revealing my strength too early is not a good idea."
"Either way, it will be exposed sooner or later, so it doesn't matter if it's delayed a little." Peroroncino bent down and lifted Renner's chin.
Of course, Peroroncino's other hand wasn't idle and was reaching toward that pair of...
Knock knock knock! "Lady Renner, good news! His Majesty the King and his men have driven away the demons..."
The maid, overly excited, knocked on the door and, without waiting for a reply, opened it.
She happened to see Peroroncino with one hand holding Renner's chin while the other hand was...
The maid froze, but Peroroncino didn't even glance at her. Neither did Renner, who ignored the maid as if she didn't exist.
Peroroncino pressed Renner's head with one hand and kissed her.
And Renner even showed a very happy expression.
It was as if she were looking at her dream lover. Of course, this was all an act on Renner's part.
The maid took a step back, "Lady Renner, who exactly is he...?"
"Come here...!" Shalltear pressed her hand over the maid's mouth.
"Watch carefully and don't make a sound, or I'll kill you!" Shalltear's tone was very calm.
The door that the maid had opened was gently closed by Shalltear's summoned minions.
The murderous aura around Shalltear made the maid feel a deep fear. When she saw so many small black creatures near Shalltear, cold sweat started to pour down her forehead.
Hearing Shalltear's words, the maid had no choice but to obey. She held back her urge to make a sound, forcing herself to watch as Peroroncino and Renner interacted intimately.
Just as Peroroncino was about to proceed to the main course, the King returned with his royal guard. He could be seen clearly from the window.
As a princess, Renner had to go greet him.
Between the King and Peroroncino, Renner did not hesitate to choose the latter.
In Renner's eyes, the King was irrelevant—he had no decision-making power, and everything he did required consultation with the nobles. Even his own personal guard, Gazef, was forced by the nobles to be sent to the border to die. Compared to the person in front of her, what was the King?
Renner had always been curious about how this person became the King—was it just because of the bloodline he carried?
......
Soon, the King returned. Since Princess Renner did not come out to greet him, the King instructed the second prince to check on her.
The second prince was also curious as to why the usually intelligent Renner did not come out to greet the King. He went alone to Renner's bedroom.
When he arrived at the door, he noticed that the maid who should have been on duty there was missing.
"Hmph, the maid actually left her post."
The second prince knocked on the door and called out, "Renner, are you there?"
Renner endured the pain and looked at Peroroncino. "Master, what should I do?"
"Do whatever you want," Peroroncino didn't stop his "work."
Renner was contemplating whether her reputation or Master Peroroncino's "work" was more important, but soon she made a decision.
Both were important. Killing the second prince would solve everything, and then she could frame Jaldabaoth for it.
As for whether others would believe it, Renner didn't care. After all, no one would suspect her.
"Brother... , I'm here... my body... feels... unwell."
"Perhaps... a bit from staying up late... too much."
"Are you okay? Do you need me to call the royal physician?"
The second prince was still somewhat sensible and didn't insist on going inside to check. After all, a prince entering a princess's room late at night would be very inappropriate if it were to spread.
"It's fine... Brother, you... fought for so long... you must be tired..."
As someone with experience, the second prince could clearly tell why Renner's speech was so fragmented. However, since he still needed to cooperate with Renner, it would be bad for anyone if such matters were brought up.
