Chapter 838

"…"

"…"

In the bushes in a corner of the palace, the young noble and two disheveled girls looked at each other, speechless.

Shien was once again doubting his life.

The two girls were stunned by the sudden turn of events. They froze there, unable to react for a long time.

Naturally, they recognized each other's identity.

That's right.

They just happened to know each other, and they even had a rather deep relationship.

"Y-y-y-y-you …!"

Tilly pointed at Shien with a trembling finger, wearing a look of shock and disbelief.

Beside her, Capeline, who was holding a piece of clothing in her hand, was silent for a moment. Then, she abruptly pulled out the imitation holy sword, using her clothes to protect her body with one hand as she dashed towards Shien.

Swoosh!

The tip of the imitation holy sword pierced through the air at an astonishing speed, piercing towards Shien's direction.

Clang!

Almost reflexively, Shien stretched out his hand and easily caught the tip of the imitation holy sword with two fingers, stopping it in its tracks and preventing it from advancing any further.

"… Isn't this a little too harsh? Your Highness? "

Shien's mouth twitched as he spoke.

Capeline glared at Shien and shouted in a low voice, "Then why aren't you turning around!"

"Yes, yes, yes." Shien curled his lips. As he turned around, he muttered, "It's not like I haven't seen it before."

Indeed, back in the high priest's underground prison, Shien had already seen Her Highness naked.

In addition to the beautiful scenery he had seen in the previous half an hour, and seeing Capeline's naked body, Shien was able to keep his heart as calm as still water.

Of course, Capeline, who was unaware of this, only had the urge to stab Shien to death on the spot when she heard his muttering.

After suppressing her impulse with great difficulty, Capeline shouted at Tilly, who was at a loss of what to do.

"Why aren't you getting dressed?"

As she spoke, Capeline quickened her pace and put on her clothes.

“~~~~~！”

Tilly finally came to her senses. She immediately put on her clothes in a fluster with her face and ears flushed red. The shame in her heart was simply about to burst.

Sean could only hear a series of rustling sounds coming from behind him. The sounds were rather chaotic, which told him how flustered the two girls were.

In the end, after a few minutes, the two girls finally put on their clothes.

"… Alright, turn around."

Capeline said coldly.

Shien shrugged, turned around, and saw the two girls who were neatly dressed.

At this moment, both Capeline and Tilly were dressed in court attire. They looked like the daughters of a noble family in the kingdom, and not at all like a princess of the empire or a descendant of a knight family.

Beside the two women, there were pieces of armor and other equipment scattered around them. Those were their original outfits.

This allowed Shien to see something at a glance.

"Are you hiding here in disguise?"

Shien raised a brow.

Tilly was still blushing. She was dominated by her shame and couldn't utter a word. Only Capeline was still glaring at Shien.

"Is there a problem?"

Capeline's tone was very harsh.

After all, Shien had seen her naked, it was impossible for her not to be harsh.

Even though she had the experience of being seen naked by Shien before, that was a different matter. Both matters couldn't be mixed up.

No matter what, it was unavoidable last time. It could even be said that Capeline owed Shien a favor. It was already good enough that she was rescued by Shien. Naturally, there was no reason for her to pick a fight with Shien over such a trivial matter.

But this time, it was different.

This time, Capeline didn't owe Shien anything.

So, Capeline was quite upset when Shien took advantage of her again.

Unfortunately …

"Whether there's a problem or not, isn't the current situation enough to prove it?"

Shien crossed his arms and stood there looking at Capeline with a faint smile, causing Capeline to hold her breath.

Shien's meaning was very simple. He was hinting at why Capeline didn't find a suitable place to change her clothes but hid in the bushes.

"It's broad daylight. You guys hid in a place to change your clothes. Can you blame others if you're seen by others?"

Shien wouldn't spoil the little girl at all.

They were the ones who disregarded the situation and did something inappropriate. In the end, they had to blame others for being taken advantage of?

Shien wouldn't feel that he was in the wrong just because he took advantage of her and deserved to be blamed.

In his previous life, he hated this kind of plot the most in the novels. Just because he took advantage of someone, he felt that he was in the wrong and allowed the girl to beat and scold him. It was really frustrating.

Even if the other party was changing in the room and you pushed the door open and saw it, even though you were at fault for not knocking the door, the other party was also at fault for not locking the door.

Therefore, Shien wouldn't spoil the little girl.

Right was right, wrong was wrong. It had nothing to do with whether he took advantage of her or not.

If it were the women who had been taken advantage of by him in the past half an hour, Shien would feel that he was in the wrong.

However, this time, it was the other party who wanted to change in a place like this. Since he had taken a shortcut and bumped into them, he couldn't be blamed.

With this thought in mind, Shien could be so bold and confident.

"You …"

Capeline was furious, but she also made a rebuttal.

As for Tilly, her eyes were brimming with tears.

She had no choice. She was the one who suffered the most.

Shien had never seen her naked body before.

Because of this, this was the first time that this Bigusler family's young miss had been seen naked by a man in the truest sense.

Just thinking about it made her feel like she had suffered a great loss.

Seeing that one of the two girls was accumulating anger, while the other had a face full of grievance, Shien didn't provoke them any further.

"Honestly, what are you two doing?" Shien asked doubtfully, "Why are you hiding here to change? And to change into the kingdom's palace attire? "

Shien didn't ask why Capeline and Tilly would appear in the Mithra Kingdom's palace.

The Tri-Race Conference was at hand. As the person in charge of the Empire, the number one military force among the human race, it was only normal for Capeline and the others to appear in the Imperial Capital and represent the Empire in the Tri-Race Conference.

Presumably, the Empire had only just arrived in the Imperial Capital, which was why the news hadn't spread in time. Shien probably didn't know of their arrival either.

However, it was worth pondering over the reason why Capeline and Tilly would hide here and secretly change into the kingdom's attire.

"This …"

Tilly forgot her shame in an instant and her expression turned somewhat awkward.

Not to mention Tilly, even Capeline shifted her gaze.

"What's wrong?" Shien said with a subtle expression, "Don't tell me you two are planning to do something shady?"

As the kingdom's rival country, the higher-ups of the Empire, if the two of them were to disguise themselves as their own people in the palace, once this matter was known, people would definitely think that they were doing some shady espionage work.

Or even assassination missions.

When the thought crossed his mind, the way Shien looked at Capeline and Tilly changed.

It was as if he was carefully sizing them up, thinking about how to tie them up and bring them back for interrogation.

Capeline and Tilly shuddered when they saw that.

It was because they knew Shien, and they had seen some of Shien's suffocating and terrifying operations, both of them were scared out of their wits.

Tilly was the first one who couldn't help but speak up.

"We're not planning to do anything suspicious!"

Tilly quickly explained.

"That's right." Capeline didn't hide it anymore, and said straightforwardly, "We're just going to meet Rosie and Rusty."

"Meet Rosie?" Shien was stunned.

"Yes," Tilly nodded heavily and emphasized, "I don't want to do anything shameful."

In order not to fall into Shien's hands, the young lady knight had given her all.

The problem was …

"Since you two want to meet Rosie, just go and meet her. Why are you in disguise?"

Sean still had a suspicious look on his face.

On the other hand, Capeline and Tilly exchanged glances. One of them snorted coldly, while the other looked helpless.

"It's not that we don't want to meet her, but we didn't get permission." Tilly reminded and said, "Whether it's His Majesty Anxi or His Majesty Harvey, they don't want Lady Capeline to go against Her Highness Rusty at this time."

After Tilly put it that way, Shien understood.

All this while, Capeline had treated Rosie as her rival for life, and she had an extremely strong attachment to her.

Back in Kosmos, Shien was targeted by Capeline because of his close relationship with Rosie.

Now that Capeline had come to the Mithra Kingdom, to the royal capital, and even to the royal palace, how could she not look for Rosie?

Naturally, she didn't look for Rosie because she wanted to make friends with her, but because she wanted to fight with her.

However, the higher-ups of the two countries definitely didn't want to see the two princesses fight each other during the meeting between the three clans.

Since that was the case, Capeline naturally encountered obstacles when she wanted to meet Rosie.

However, Capeline was obviously unwilling to compromise.

"So, you're going to disguise yourself as a citizen of the kingdom and find a chance to get close to Rosie?"

Shien looked at Capeline speechlessly.

"Hmph!"

Capeline snorted coldly again and turned her head away.

This was undoubtedly a tacit agreement.

Shien immediately rolled his eyes.

"I think you have nothing better to do."

Shien sneered mercilessly.

"You're the one who has nothing better to do!" Not to be outdone, Capeline said, "Rosie, Rusty is your fiancée. Of course, you'll help her!"

It seemed that Capeline thought that Shien would only scold her like this after he knew that she was going to cause trouble for his fiancée.

However …

"I also know that of course, I have to help her, right?" Shien curled his lips and said, "She's my wife, but you're not."

His words almost made Capeline explode in anger.

This dog of a man, he actually directly admitted that he was on Rosie's side. Is he being biased and taking sides? Isn't he trying to hide it at all?

Although I'm not your wife, you've seen me naked!

Twice!

For this sake, you should at least be tactful in front of me, right?

Bastard! (̄ ∀ □ ′) (̄ ━ ̄)
