The Strongest Fairy

Chapter 64 A Surprise for the Beast Princess

「You must be the one who was going to help us rebuild our kingdom. I am called Forna Fox Meniant Ladaria, the 3rd princess of the 250th Ruler of Ladaria. 名乗れ」

「...I am known as leader of 『Fairy's Banquet』Aidle.」

「......」

Mu, Eh. Doesn't she know about handshakes? Is there a difference in culture? No, maybe she is just trying to be domineering? It feels like she's acting strange though.

「Oh, King Mondal-sama, are you sure that these people really are the ones who defeated the Heroes? I can only see her as nothing but a little girl though?」

「That is a matter of course. You have seen the Heroes that were imprisoned in the dungeon, right?」

「...Ah, that is, indeed」

Although convinced, she was still giving me a look of doubt. When I turn to him, Mondol-san nudges his chin that seems to be telling me that it was troublesome.

「I will do my best on my own. You can assist me if you want」

「......」

Is she serious? I turned towards Mondol once more. He showed me a look that tells me she's really serious. Nnthis, is this girl really alright?

「What?......Why won't you respond? This rude person」

「...Ah yes. I'd be glad to help」

「...Fun~」

After that the little princess went back to where she came from.

「......Sorry about that but please do forgive her. Other than her, all other royalties were killed during the battle against the demons. It was natural for her to hate humans... But well, if you show her what you really are, I think she will also come to open up to you」

「Well......I could also show her my strength. I do have a much better plan to cure that...but」

I know about that kind of look, which is one has when trying to take the entire burden and carry it alone. I think she was just trying to look tough and was keeping herself in. She even wore high heels which she was definitely not used to.

Her image of her from before was definitely a lie. That must have been only a disguise, and I want to know the real her. I will definitely find a look of helpless suffering caused by the entire burden. I will also be honest with her.

「Aren't you too cute?」

「You understand about it」

「Hearing an Old-man praise master makes it look dangerous」

Aren't you just overthinking it? But well, there is no other way than to do this for us to get along......yosh...

◇――――――――――――――――

When Forna returned to her room, she greeted Meru, the sheep beastman butler who has been serving her.

「Welcome back Princess. Were you tired from wearing high heels? Please come here, you can change from those now」

「......Un」

She politely followed, and changed from the high heels to comfortable sandals. She sat at a table and ate the cookies that were prepared for her. The moment she started eating sweets, Meru place a cup of tea for her, and when she finished eating, she put the remaining sweets aside, then then took a sip of the tea that was giving of a sweet scent.

「nom...nom...gulp... fuu~... Meru, thanks」

「I am honored to be of service, princess」

Forna didn't have even a slight trace of the air she had before. This is how she truly is. But because she has to shoulder the burden of all of the beastmen, she needs to show that farce to make it harder for people to look down on her.
