After I Stopped Sponsoring, the Female Leads Began Obsessing Over Me

71 – The Princess’ Request

There are various interactions between mana elements in Panta

Damage and effects vary greatly depending on the reaction between elements.

It was natural for players who reached a certain level to delve into ‘interaction’.

Of course, there were interactions that were considered trash.

A representative example is , Which is the interaction of ‘earth + grass’.

The only effect of germination was the effect of sprouts appearing on the screen.

As you can guess from the name, of course the derogatory term for this combination became ‘carcinoma’.

The combination of earth and grass was famous for its useless interaction.

Until one player discovered a unique effect.

– When the protective film is used and sprouts sprout, cracks appear.

It turns out that ‘germination’ is an interaction that can break down most protective shields.

When that effect was discovered, it was already after Panta

— Blah blah blah!

Ian was the discoverer who discovered the effect of ‘germination’.

“Oh, wow. Why, why is this broken!”

Yulan’s pupils dilated in an instant.

‘My, my complete immunity…!!!’

His shield is ‘completely immune’ to all physical, magical, and sacred things. This protective shield played a significant role in Yulan’s rise to the upper ranks of Shaleam Bridge.

Anytime, anywhere, Yulan could practice the ‘Vampire Great Technique’, the highest spiritual method of the Shaleam Church, whenever he wanted to.

The vampire method has complicated procedures and many restrictions compared to other life absorption methods, but has the advantage of being able to absorb the opponent’s life force and ability to the maximum.

‘… You shouldn’t hang up here.’

While practicing the vampire technique, no matter what happens, you must not break contact with the other person.

It is obvious that if you forcibly stop the vampire technique that you used while relying on the protective shield, you will suffer significant internal injuries.

It was natural that Yulan’s eyes, which were already absorbing the life force of the princess, trembled violently from side to side.

“Ahahahaha. Mr. Ian. Shall we talk for a moment?”

Of course, Ian lightly ignored Yulan’s words.

— Kwaaang!

Ian’s fist explodes into the crack where a sprout has sprouted.

Yulan’s protective shield crumbled to powder like glass made of sugar and poured down.

Absurdity, injustice, anger.

Ian smiled as he looked at Yulan’s face, whose smile had completely disappeared.

“Didn’t I tell you? You’re screwed.”

◆

Yulan escaped with major internal injuries.

Ian didn’t bother to chase after him.

Even if he suffered internal injuries, it is difficult to predict Yulan’s military power, and he is a person with many variables.

Instead.

Julan Altisic, who escaped, will be charged with various crimes, including assassination of the royal family and attempted murder of the royal family.

Even if he overcomes the internal injuries he suffered, there will be significant restrictions on his future activities.

The next day.

The reception room of the princess’s residence.

The princess woke up and immediately called her Ian.

When Ian arrived, Asteria, who had been sitting looking somewhat haggard, stood up suddenly.

“I survived thanks to your actions.”

“I just did what I had to do.”

According to the original story, this was something that Lina or Sharon would have had to solve while watching the festival. Sharon Pierce has returned to her family, and Lina is in a state where it is difficult to know whether she is sane or not.

But we can’t just leave the main character in Chapter 2 of the scenario to die.

It was really just something that had to be done.

In addition to her work, she also received her attention.

“I would like to express my sincere gratitude. Thank you, Ian Black Angus.”

Asteria lowered her head.

Despite her worryingly gaunt-looking face, her demeanor is flawless.

Is it because all of my energy has been used up? Asteria, with her spunky side gone, looked rather elegant.

Meanwhile, Asteria’s black short-haired escort, Karen.

She was restless next to the princess.

Because she was not able to protect her properly, it was as if the princess had made someone else bow her head.

“I’m sorry, princess. I wasn’t able to properly guard you…”

“Karen, I told you. It’s not your fault. Can you stop frowning now?”

As the princess said, Karen had a crying expression that did not match her sharp eyes.

“But the princess… Because I didn’t understand the traps, the princess ended up like this…”

“Whew. The main woman is more burdened by you crying next to her. Look at that. She is watching you, Ian, too.”

Ian was in trouble.

It wasn’t that she noticed Karen, and she was wondering if she looked similar to someone else.

“Ian, please tell me something.”

“Me?”

“Yes.”

A spark that flew out of nowhere.

Ian thought for a moment and then opened her mouth.

“You were too incompetent to be an escort. You need to work harder.”

“Big!”

A single teardrop falls from her eye.

Karen ran out of her living room as if running away.

Asteria watched in bewilderment as Karen ran away.

“Ian, you are not ordinary either.”

“?”

“I think this is the first time I’ve seen Karen get so emotional. She’s usually quiet and only gives short answers.”

“When you need to scold someone, you also need to scold them.”

Ian thought of someone who had been clinging to him a while ago, asking him to please scold him.

“Huh…?”

Of course, Asteria could not have missed such a hot topic.

The corners of her eyes were curved into a half-moon shape.

“You’re surprisingly strict, huh?

“Yes?”

“Are you this strict even at night?”‘

“…….”

Even just a moment ago, Ian was worried about the emaciated Asteria.

When I saw Asteria’s bent eyes, all those worries disappeared.

‘As expected, I’m not worried about the royal family.’

Ian sighed softly as he looked at Asteria, who quickly regained that mysterious smile.

Asteria raised the corner of her mouth and patted the seat next to her.

“I want you to come and sit down instead of standing there with a scary expression on your face.”

“Excuse me?”

A sofa that is wide enough to lie down on.

Ian deliberately sat down next to the princess.

There was no point in Asteria immediately moving to one space next to her.

“I want to ask you one thing.”

“As much as you want.”

“Do you really not feel anything when you look at my wife’s body?”

It was a provocative question that came while he was subtly touching her chest, but Ian remained calm.

“Yes.”

“…Really? Even if it’s the real woman who looks so pitiful because she’s in so much pain? It’s rare to find a man who doesn’t give her even a glance like this.”

Ian knows Asteria’s original personality.

So, it was rather annoying for her to come out like this.

“I guess I’m that rare guy.”

Asteria was slightly dazed by the firm answer.

Actually, Asteria was flirting with Ian as a joke because she wanted to get closer to him.

‘Is it really true that the woman’s beauty style doesn’t work?’

The fact that her own body was not eaten at all was a different story.

That means that a man named Ian is one of two people.

‘He is either a wise man with deep experience and wisdom enough not to fall for the main woman’s temptation.’

Or…

“Are you, by any chance, a eunuch?”

Ian put down the teacup he was sipping for a moment.

“No. Rather, I think you need to cover the front a little.”

“Why? The real woman is so proud.”

Ian silently pointed towards her chest.

Asteria’s light indoor clothes were soaked with sweat, and the inside was clearly visible.

She hurriedly covered her somewhat protruding parts with both hands.

“Look, the main woman, isn’t it this bad?”

Asteria’s face suddenly turned red, as if that relaxed expression had disappeared.

“I know.”

Asteria hastily wrapped her upper body in a blanket.

Turning his gaze into the distance, Ian opened his mouth.

“I’m actually interested in something other than the princess’s body.”

“What is that?”

“It’s a request.”

The princess’s hand, which was fastening her buttons, stopped.

She muttered quietly.

“How much do you know?”

“It’s just that you want to cut off the first prince’s hands and feet.”

— Suddenly

Ian lowered his head as he felt a cool sensation on his neck.

Karen’s sword was carving a thin, blood-red line into Ian’s neck.

‘As expected, he is a very talented person.’

She couldn’t feel anything as she approached.

It would not be an illusion to think of the prestigious assassination family, the Black Tomb Party, in those neat movements.

“Shall I ring you?”

“It’s okay Karen. I think you’re overreacting.”

“This is a confidential matter that should not be leaked anywhere.”

Asteria nodded her head.

“That’s true. But you’re a benefactor. Put away your sword for now, Karen.”

The cool sensation on her neck disappeared.

“It stings.”

Ian grinned.

I felt like I could now get to the main topic.

Asteria’s serious eyes are proof of that.

“Can you explain how you knew, Ian?”

The voice that used to be infinitely playful is now much deeper and more serious.

‘You’ve finally come out. ‘Serious princess.’

Ian opened her mouth.

“The princess is notorious for being an idiot and a nymphomaniac.”

“That’s right.’

“I made an assumption here. What if the 3rd princess is acting? She has a weaker foundation compared to the eldest prince and princess. In that case, she would be hiding behind the shadows and looking for an opportunity. Why would such a person be at the Academy? You have come to the frontier called.”

“Keep talking.”

“Since he doesn’t have any limbs that can be used quietly, he must have been thinking of seducing a few innocent children here and using them. It’s a good place to hide and build strength. There are a lot of uncut stones.”

“Are you planning to insult the princess?”

Karen scolds me coldly.

Ian shook her head.

“It wasn’t an insult, it was just cold-hearted. I would have done the same. The third princess’s ultimate goal is to inherit the throne… No, to fight for it.”

Asteria stared at her Ian expressionlessly.

I thought he was definitely a capable wizard.

But I didn’t know it would be this wise.

‘It’s a similar feeling as when dealing with a great sage.’

Her teacher said that being wise means penetrating the essence of a person.

I was planning to send others for this request and watch a little more.

The princess modified her plan.

“The goal is the head of the Pierce family. To collect evidence that he is a Shale Cultist.”

Karen is taken aback by the princess’s mouth suddenly opening.

From noble mtl dot com

Asteria and Ian exchanged opinions quickly as if they were continuing a conversation they had been talking about for a long time.

“How confident are you?”

“100 Percent.”

“What is the reward if successful?”

“Do you want gold coins?”

“It’s not bad, but I prefer something a little more valuable.”

“Then… I will give you one of the yellow things that the main woman has.”

Karen’s eyes widened as she barely caught up with the conversation.

When it comes to waste, it is treasure collected by the empire from the continent.

It is an object in itself that cannot be tampered with by anyone other than the royal family.

‘Well. If it weren’t for Numbers, it would be worth it since you saved my life.’

The value of the numbered items called ‘Numbers’ is at a level that cannot be measured even in gold coins.

Karen is convinced.

The princess followed her words.

“Anywhere from 100 to 110.”

“Woe, princess!”

While Karen, who was shocked, tried to stop him.

“If it’s the 100th… Of course it’s good.”

Ian smiled and held the princess’s hand.
