Isekai Majutsushi - Volume 1 Chapter 2 Part 3
I leave the conference room and return to my room, asking Tia for information about the second princess. She is the second child born to the queen, and the fourth in line of succession to the throne, which means she is the lowest.
Thanks to the fact that she is not participating in the succession struggle, she seems to be behaving quite freely, leading the knights to the front and taking command. It seems that she is now in charge of the defense of the Gurtha fortress.
She seems to be a skilled commander and has a high reputation among the soldiers of the castle, and now the soldiers trust her more than the princes. However, that is not important for now. What I need is something that can be a weakness of her.
「Margarete-sama, is it? First of all, I've never heard of any blunders or ugly stories of her. As for the succession to the throne, there is little hope to begin with, so there are no conflicts, and I have heard that she get along well with her parents and her siblings. In addition, she is well-liked by both men and women because of her excellent literary and military skills and her decisiveness.」
「She is a very capable personel in this country, huh. ...... Are there any rumors that she is actually homosexual or something like that?」
「I've never heard of anything like that either. It is true that she treats the queen and Sophia-sama more intimately than her male family members, but she is a bit fastidious, so she is not very fond of homosexuality or any other sexual affairs between men and women outside of their marriage.」
「If that's the case, it's better to catch her from around than to take advantage of her weakness. Tia, do you have a better idea?」
「Well, Margarete-sama has been raised in a privileged environment since she was a child, so she shouldn't have any experience of being betrayed by people who are thought to be her allies. It would be good to spread ugly news to many people and lose people's trust, but I think it would be better to have her betrayed by her family and subordinates. I think we should use the first princess, Sophia-sama, who she says she trusts especially here.」
Tia, with her cute face, is making a very black statement. Let's not make her too angry.
But still, it's quite a cruel proposal. For me, it's just a light threat of payback. She must be very frustrated that I was underestimated, and her anger towards the princess is evident in her voice when she talks about Margarete.
When I hugged her and patted her head, she seemed relieved and rubbed her face against my chest. All right, all right, I'll do my best for the sake of my lovely maid.
※
I decided to go along with Tia's idea, and so I first tried to contact Sophia, who was the Margarete was closest to. She was probably the one who told Margarete about yesterday's conversation, so I decided to ask her how it went.
Since I had reminded her earlier that I had something confidential to discuss with her, Sophia was already waiting for me when I arrived at the room.
「I'm sorry, but I need to talk to you.」
「No, it's fine. If it's a request from a hero, it's easy enough to spare the time to talk to them.」
The maid came in, prepared tea for the two of us, and left. I've been trying to find out, but there doesn't seem to be anyone suspicious around the room. As a precaution, I put up a soundproof barrier to eliminate the possibility of eavesdroppers.
「It seems that you have already told the second princess about yesterday's discussion.」
「Yes, I made sure to tell her about the magic of the heroes. Marie seemed to be particularly concerned about Sagami-sama's magic. But I couldn't explain Yard-sama's magic very well, so I don't know if I told her properly. I'm sorry for my lack of knowledge.」
It seems that Marie is Margarete's nickname, and if that's the case, Sophia would be called Sophie or something.
As she continued to talk in a good mood, I used the <Mind Steal> to avoid being noticed, and found out that she was indeed telling her about yesterday. However, it seemed that my information had not been conveyed correctly. Sophia's explanation would have conveyed only enough to have a conversation without moving her mouth.
I don't think even Sagami, who is probably the second most knowledgeable person on the subject after me, fully understands it, so in a way, it can't be helped, but they all misunderstood my strategic class magic.
The strategic class is not only for offensive magics, but also includes magics such as ultra-distant transference and group consciousness induction.
In the first place, offensive strategic class magics are so large that they are used in interstellar wars. They are usually so broad that they can annihilate a country or two if they are not good enough to distinguish between friend and foe, so it is impossible to use them in places where war has already broken out or in your own country.
However, the power of their imagination is drastically wrong, and they think that it can blow up a dozen people. It's not a strategic level, it's just a range magic, not even a tactical level.
There are probably a good number of magicians who can use ranged magic, so I can understand why Margarete would want to insult me after hearing her unreliable information about me. Well, I'm not going to stop trying to get back at her for actually insulting me, though.
「I'm sorry to interrupt your conversation, but I have something to ask you.」
「By the way, you said you wanted to talk to me about something. If it's okay with me, please tell me anything.」
At this point, I use the Seventh Type of Telepathy Magic, the <Thought-Guiding>. This is a magic that dulls the other person's reasoning and prevents them from questioning my words. It's not like you can manipulate your opponent's thoughts, but unlike brainwashing, this is a counter magic that doesn't break the spell, and unlike <Dominate>, there are no conditions, so depending on how you use it, it can be quite useful.
「As a matter of fact, I had an argument with Margarete-sama at the meeting earlier, and it seems that she thinks I'm slowing her down.」
「That's ...... very rude of her, and I apologize on behalf of my sister. I'm sure you're offended, but I'm sure my sister is just misunderstood. It was I who was at fault for explaining Yard-sama magic, so please forgive Marie with a generous heart.」
「Yeah, it's okay. I'm not saying that she's at fault, because my attitude was also at fault. It's just that I'm embarrassed to have run out of the conference room, and I need your help to reconcile with her.」
「I see. Then by all means, let me help you.」
Looking at her smiling face, I can see that she and her sister really seem to be on good terms. I guess this will go as planned.
「Thank you. I've heard that you and Margarete are very close sisters, so if I show her that you and I are on good terms, I'm sure she'll be friendly with me, what do you think?」
「That's a wonderful idea. I think that's a good idea too.」
I'm already talking out of turn, but she doesn't seem to notice and agrees with my opinion. From what I've heard about Margarete's personality, I think it's normal to think that she would go crazy if she saw me and Sophia getting along well, but I guess she doesn't have such doubts because of the magic I used.
Well, the preparations for the mission had just begun. I got out of my seat and walked over to her and took her hand in mine, which was still confused.
「In fact, everything I've said so far has been in order to say something to you.」
I looked her in the eyes and said the words after a pause.
「Sophia-sama, I love you as a man.」
With the words, I activated the magic without chanting. The Seventh Type of Telepathy Magic, <Paradise Happiness>. The effect is to secrete a narcotic into the brain, making the target feel happy. It is one of the easiest of the telephathy formulas.
In addition, I'll use <Madness>. If you use it in its original effect, it will strip away the reasoning of your opponent and put them in a state of excitement, but I've reduced the effect to just a little bit of excitement.
After receiving these two magics on top of the effects of the <Thought-Guiding> I used earlier, she honestly believed my confession, which was sudden and suspicious no matter how you look at it. She froze in surprise for a moment, but when she regained consciousness, her cheeks flushed and she turned her face away.
「P-Please don't joke with me. We've only just met. ......」
「As the saying goes, love at first sight, time has nothing to do with love. Or do you hate me?」
「I don't hate you at all! Ah, well, no. ......」
The fact that she was shyly glancing at me suggests that she was happy with my words. The euphoria and excitement she felt at the same time as my confession must be making her feel as if she were in love.
Her rational mind is suppressed and not working properly, so it doesn't seem to occur to her that she, as royalty, can't have a relationship with an unknown person like me who was called in out of the blue.
She was unsure of how to react to me, so I lightly pulled her to me and brought her face close to mine, almost nose to nose. Her eyes are moist and red, which I think is cute, though not as cute as Tia's.
「Sophia-sama, will you accept my love?」
I can't believe I'm saying this, but the way I look right now is pretty weird. Anyway, here's another shot of <Paradise Happiness> for a bad push. The euphoric feeling that comes over her again causes her body to relax and she becomes flustered. I guess it's okay now.
「Yard-sama. I love you too.」
Sophia replies with a beautiful smile. We looked at each other and our lips naturally touched each other. It was our first time, so we kept it light and parted our lips.
「Sophia ......」
「Please call me Sophie......」
「Sophie, I love you.」
「I love you too, Yard-sama.」
I hugged her around the waist and pulled her close, and she put her hand on my cheek too.
I kissed her a second time. I extend my tongue and push her pretty lips away from mine and enter her mouth. I lick her up gently as she stretches out her tongue to me. After a few tries, she tries to intertwine our tongues, and we feel the heat of each other's mouths.
I guess she couldn't breathe well after her first kiss, so when I pulled my mouth away, she looked down and put her hands on her chest, breathing a little.
Seeing her like that made me want to kiss her again, so I put my hand on her cheek and turned her around so I could put my mouth on hers. She wasn't breathing well yet, so I enjoyed her mouth as much as I could, feeling her rough breath against mine.
She reached her tongue into my mouth as well. The place where our tongues touched in my mouth felt good somehow.
We continued to mix our saliva and kiss each other so thickly that I thought I would lose the sensation in my tongue, until someone from the castle knocked on the door to tell us it was time for lunch.
Okay, now I'm ready to get back at Margarete.
※
After lunch, while the soldiers were hurried around getting ready to leave, I decided to call Margarete with Sophie's help. As I waited alone in Sophie's room for her to arrive, I heard footsteps for both of them, so I made myself presentable as well.
「Thank you for your patience, Yard-sama. I've called Marie, as you requested.」
「I'm sorry. Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule.」
In contrast to Sophie, who was talking to me with a smile, Margarete had a sullen expression on her face, as if she was unwilling to talk to me. When our eyes met, she gave me a hostile look, but I brushed it off with a serious face.
We both took our seats. Margarete and I are facing each other. Sophie let her sister sit first and then sat down next to me. Margarete frowns even more when she sees this.
「Onee-sama. Why is this man here? He said he had something to tell me before we left, so I came.」
「Yes, Marie. It's about the disagreement between you and Yard-sama. There was only a short time before your departure that I had the chance to reconcile the two of you.」
Margarete glared at me at Sophie's words. It seems that she thinks that I've told her something. In fact, she is right.
「I'm sorry. I asked her to prepare a place for me. Margarete-dono, I regret that my uncooperative attitude was the cause of your displeasure earlier. I would like to apologize for my rude attitude.」
Before Margarete could say anything else, I took the initiative and apologized. Perhaps unexpectedly, she blinked her eyes a few times and let out a sigh. She looks at me again, but she doesn't send me the glaring look that she had just given me.
「No, I was out of line too. I'm sorry that I said something that insulted the heroes.」
She seemed to be a good person at heart and accepted my apology without hesitation. She stood up and extended her hand to me, so I stood up and shook her hand as well.
Sophie, who had been watching us, smiled reassuringly and leaned toward me. Margarete looked astonished at her sister's sudden action.
「What on earth are you doing, Onee-sama!? Please don't do such a trifling thing as leaning on a gentleman outside of your family!」
「It's okay, Marie, I'm in love with Yard-sama. It's a natural feeling for a woman to want to be close to the man of her dreams.」
「L-love you say!? Do you even know what you're saying!? Anyway, please get away from that man!」
Margarete, unable to keep up with her sister's change, hurriedly tried to separate me and Sophie, but Sophie also grabbed my arm and resisted, trying not to be shaken off. This allowed me to enjoy the softness of her ample breasts as they pressed against my arm.
After successfully pulling Sophie away from my arms, Margarete pulled her arms and sat her down next to her.
「Yard-sama, what is the meaning of this? My sister is not the kind of person who would do something like this. Did you do something bad to my sister, ......?」
「No, I did not.」
「What has Yard-sama done to you? I will not allow you to doubt him, no matter how much Marie think of me!」
Before I could say anything, Sophie took a bite out of her sister with great speed. Well, she loves me, doesn't she?
Letting go of Margarete, who was cowering from her sister's shouting, Sophie hugged me and put her lips on mine. She squeezed me tightly, and I wrapped my arms around her waist and hugged her.
We kissed as if to confirm our love for each other, and then she gently pulled away and looked at me with a shy smile on her face. There was already no trace of the look on her face when she yelled at her sister.
「Marie, I love Yard-sama of my own free will. No matter what anyone says, this feeling will never change.」
Sophie declares proudly to her sister. When Margarete heard her sister's confession, she wavered, looked around and gave us a clinging look.
「It is not my intention to make you see this, but I love you too, Sophie. Of course, it was no joke, as you could see from what I just did.」
Margarete, struck by my words, collapsed in her chair as if she had lost her thread. She seemed to be in a state of shock. Seeing her like this, my heart overflows with a sense of exhilaration. At the very least, she should regret her decision to fight me.
After that, Margarete said she suddenly remembered her business and left as if she was running away. The rest of us, Sophie and I, had already forgotten about her and were enjoying the last kiss before I left.
