PMBPHP Chapter 108

It was around one o’clock in the afternoon when I rode a horse, left the royal villa, and arrived at the royal palace of the Kingdom of Seiran.
As soon as I arrived at the royal palace, I headed to the audience room.

During the audience, people were cleared out, and there were only father, who is the king, and mother, who is queen.
We all went in front of the throne with my brother and knelt down.

“Remilio has returned. I protected Miss Nonelia and brought her back safely. Also, the guests from the Kingdom of Tenar were in danger of assassination, so I judged the carriage to be dangerous and had them act with us. Finally, it seems that Lilith’s Healer was known to the Kingdom of Tenar.”

“Thank you for your hard work, Remilio. . . .Lilith, didn’t I tell you to be careful?”

My father held down his temple and sighed.

“I’m sorry. But I don’t regret it.”
“. . . It seems so. If it’s known, it can’t be helped. Everyone, make yourself comfortable. You came all the way from the Tenar Kingdom. My name is Raymond. I am the king of the Kingdom of Seiran.”

“It’s a pleasure to meet you for the first time. I’m Timir, the first prince and the crown prince.”
“The second prince and the next prime minister, Frair.”
“I’m the third prince, a knight and Lilith’s husband, Gresis.”

Gresis-sama stood up quickly and made an elegant and beautiful bow, far from barbarism.

“I was going to keep quiet, but I’ll tell you too. I will never allow anyone to talk about it other than the royal family. That’s good.”

My father is also the king of a country.
Everyone nodded to the unconcerned ambition.

“Our royal family is considered to be a descendant of the goddess, and Lilith is the one who appeared to have the healing power that the goddess had. It’s been called an awakened person for generations.”

It was the first time I heard of an awakened person.

“Will awakened people be born from generation to generation? Maybe in the future, for my child?”

My brother opened his mouth. I’m sure he’s worried because he knows my life.

“There is a possibility. But it’s not from generation to generation. It hasn’t been born in recent years. However, if an awakened person is born, the royal family has been told for generations to keep it secret. Remilio’s marriage was decided, and now that it was time for Lilith to return home with someone who knew the power. There are various reasons for concealment, but the most important thing is that the child of the royal family is not carried up to the church and used until they lose their life.”

I felt that Gresis-sama’s animal ears moved slightly.

“Have there been such cases in the past?”
My father continues to nod at my brother’s words.

“According to the history books of the royal family, the awakened people who were used did not reach the age of 20 and all of them died. The awakened person is not as versatile as the goddess. If you don’t heal yourself and wear out, you will become unwell. If the wear and tear is severe, there is a risk of losing your life. You know, Lilith.”

When I thought of it, I nodded in surprise.

“That’s certainly true. But if you absorb natural energy, you will recover.”

“It was a big discovery that had never been known before. But I was just lucky. There would have been a life crisis several times before. If the power is known, the possibility will increase. In the Kingdom of Tenar, you can’t guarantee Lilith’s life, can you?”

My father gave a stern look to Gresis-sama.
Gresis-sama took a step forward.

“Your Majesty the King, in our country, I swear on my name as a knight, no, as her husband, that I will never put Lilith in danger. I will protect her, and make her happy for the rest of her life.”

Naturally, he said it openly.
I’m so happy that I want to hug him right now and convey my joy.
Timir-oniisama also took a step forward.

“I also promise to protect Lilith as the crown prince, no, the next king.”

Frair-oniisama also takes a step forward.

“I will also make full use of all my power and demonstrate my ability to protect Lilith as the next prime minister.”

I also continued and took a step forward.

“Father, I married Gresis-sama, I became a family with my brothers-in-law, and everyone in the Tenar Kingdom is kind and happy. I’m doing what I want to do, and I’m not being used, and I’m sure I won’t be used in the future.”

So please, father, I want you to believe in my new family, the beastmen.

“I don’t like it.”
My father frowned.

“Father, why. . .”
When I was about to say it, my father stopped me with his hand and I shut my mouth.

“If there was even one man with a spirit like you in our country, I would have gotten Lilith engaged to him right away. But there was none. I don’t like that.”

When my father adjusted his breathing, he said in a dignified voice.

“His Royal Highness Gresis, His Royal Highness Timir, His Royal Highness Frair, please. I could only protect Lilith by locking her up. If it’s you, you should be able to show Lilith a new life.”

“””Yes. Please leave it to me.”””

When Gresis-sama looked into my father’s eyes and replied powerfully, my father had a calm expression.

“Lilith, thank you for coming back. You must be tired today. The guest rooms in the villa are prepared. Take a good rest with everyone. Tomorrow is the goddess festival. I’m sorry, but please take care of it.”

“Understood.”

“I’m sorry for you, but I’ll have you hide until the day of the wedding. Please be patient for a while. But tomorrow, I have to ask Lilith to use Healer on me. You must be tired from the long trip, so you are free to decide what to do.”

“””Yes.”””
After the audience is over, I said goodbye to my brother and guide Gresis-sama to my villa.

There are many hidden doors in the royal palace.
The door is connected to a passage dedicated to the royal family, and if you use that passage, you can go to my villa without seeing anyone.
There is also a hidden door between the audience, so I headed to the villa from there.

“I had a guest room prepared in the villa where I was spending time. I think it’s a little narrow for Gresis-sama and my brothers-in-law, but please be patient.”

“It’s very quiet.”
Gresis-sama muttered.

“This passage is a passage that can only be used by the royal family. You can get to my villa without seeing anyone, so it’s convenient to hide yourself. My villa is in a secluded place that only those who know can get close to.”

When you open the door at the end of the passage, you will go out to the garden.
Walk further back on the road like a green maze.

“This way.”
When we go through the arch, a beautiful garden with various flowers blooming, appears from the garden that was full of greenery.

“This is a very nice place. It looks like a fairy lives there.”
“It seems like a different world only here.”

Timir-oniisama and Frair-oniisama look around, and I’m happy to see them surprised.

“Isn’t it? It’s a proud garden that I made with my gardener.”
“Has Lilith been living here alone all the time?”

Gresis-sama seemed to be curious about what kind of life I was living when I couldn’t get out of the royal palace.

“I’m wasn’t alone. There are a lot of kind chamberlains, and my family and educators also visited me. Now, let’s go into the residence.”

When I pulled Gresis-sama’s hand and went in front of the door, the door opened on it’s own.

“Welcome back, Lilith-sama, Your Highnesses.”

The chamberlains greeted us all at once.
Maybe because of the misunderstanding about the beastmen, everyone’s face is tense and you can see that they are nervous.

“I’m back. This is my husband, Gresis-sama. This is the Crown Prince, Timir-oniisama, and this is the next prime minister, Frair-oniisama. Look, he’s beautiful and nice, isn’t he? He won’t get angry even if I do this.”

I gently held Gresis-sama’s tail in my hand, put it on my cheek, and showed it to them.

Beast people are barbaric, fierce and dangerous. That’s what’s rumored, and many people believe that rumor.
So I wanted to tell them that it was wrong.
The chamberlains look surprised at my words and actions, and they are frozen.

“Lilith, everyone is surprised. Isn’t it counterproductive?”
“I think they’re more surprised that Lilith touched the tail than our reaction.”
“That’s true. I’m sorry, Lilith, but it seems that it didn’t get through.”

Frair-oniisama patted my shoulder and comforted me.
That’s strange. Even though they’re so kind.

“I may not be able to convey it, but they’re my very kind family, so I don’t want you to be afraid.”

When I appealed to the chamberlain hard, I heard laughter.
It was Mia, a handmaid who took care of me from a young age.

“Lilith-sama is so lively, there is no doubt about it.”

The tension of the chamberlains was relieved before I knew it, and they had calm expressions.

“Yes, it’s definitely a wonderful husband and brothers-in-law. Because you came to brag to everyone.”

I was happy that everyone accepted them, and my smile spilled.

Sorry for the missed updates the past two days. There have been a lot of storms in my area lately and some trees knocked down the power line in a few places, so I haven’t had power and was unable to update.

I hope you enjoyed this chapter and thank you for reading!
