The Falsely Executed Marquis’ Daughter Wants to Live Peacefully with Fluffy God

Before we put up the wooden wards, Leon telepathically spoke to me.

"Rio, let's leave this place for a moment. Once we are away from the Crown Prince kid, we will be able to use our full strength."

"All right. I'll put up some wooden boundaries to make sure they can't see us."

After we left, I activated Recognition Inhibition, and Leon and I were transferred to the 50th level along with the goblins that had been chasing us. I had used my Transference Magic.......

Upon seeing us, the twin-headed dragon, the last boss, exclaimed, "What! You came again?" But as soon as he saw the goblins, he revealed his true brutality.

"Even if we leave the goblins alone, he would take care of them. Let's leave him alone and get out of here while we still can."

"Right."

Deploying a transfer magic circle.

Behind us, we could hear sounds of the goblins' demise and a few other noises we didn't want to hear, so we decided to get out of there as soon as possible.

Once again, we emerged in a familiar place.

"I can't help but end up back here, can I?"

This is the Rose Garden in the forest of the estate.

"Rio must really like it here."

"Yes. And by the way, Leon. I haven't had enough fluff. Please let me fluff just a little bit."

Leon shrugged his shoulders and changed into his cat form.

"Healing fluff."

After giving Leon a good fondling in his cat form, we returned to the original 20th level.

We ran back from a short distance away, as if we had defeated the goblins by attracting them to a different location.

"Rio! You're safe. Thank God!"

Looks like things have already been taken care of here too. Chris hugged me.

"I've managed to beat them."

I gently patted Chris on the back.

Dragging Charlotte, who was still holding on to him and wouldn't let go, the Crown Prince walked to Leon's side.

Even so, I started to feel sorry for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Enough, already! Charlotte.

"Leon. I'm sorry. Are you hurt?"

"Umu. I'm unharmed. I'm glad you are all right."

The Crown Prince bowed to Leon, then turned around and bowed to me as well.

"I am sorry Rio. For making you fight. ......"

"Please raise your head, Your Royal Highness. You are the Crown Prince of this land. How could we possibly put you in harm's way?"

Though I made it sound reasonable, I didn't feel the need for thanks since I was able to fluff Leon because of it.

"That's right. It is the duty of the subjects to protect the Crown Prince. Richard, you should not worry about it."

Charlotte interjected unnecessarily. Ah. This is bad. Chris is about to lose her temper. I held Chris in my arms and didn't let her break loose, thinking she was going to hit someone at any moment.

I secretly whispered to her, "Just bear with it, if you can, you can pet Leon later." And Chris's strength relaxed a little.

Her gaze coldly fixed on Charlotte, who clung to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Everyone was furious.

It would be best to return to the surface quickly before everyone loses their temper.

Even after leaving the dungeon, Charlotte did not separate from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and on the contrary, she collapsed.

Since it was impossible to leave her there, the Crown Prince carried Charlotte to the campsite in a princess carry.

Because of this unforeseen event, the orientation was cancelled.

"She was definitely faking it."

Chris's mouth curved into a smile as she fluffed Leon.

"Well, in my opinion, it was a great feat to fall backwards with the realization that she might've hit her head."

With a grunt, Charlotte had fallen backwards with an "'Ahh!" She must have calculated that the Crown Prince would be there to catch her in his arms. If she had not made the right calculation, she would have hit the ground and it would have been a catastrophe.

"Well, he's my brother, after all. He is a gentleman in a strange way. He should have just shoved her off and joined the fight."

"I admire Charlotte's courage. Even in the face of death, she refused to let go of the Crown Prince."

"Hey, Yurie. Did you really lose to that feeble-minded girl before you came back?"

Tojurou-san asked, sipping his tea while munching on veggie dumplings.

"Before returning, I had been so absorbed in my magical studies that I never took any interest in her."

However, Tojurou-san was wrong, Charlotte has never been feeble-minded. But above everything else, her obsession with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is incomprehensible. What made her so obsessed with him?

"Whatever, but why have you come all the way here Kikuno-sama?"

"I was feeling a bit pissed off about what happened at noon, so I decided to vent some of those feelings."

After the orientation was canceled, we disbanded and rented out Ayano-san's store for a tea party.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"Rio. Did you appraise those goblins?"

Leon opened one eye and looked at me while Chris fluffed him.

"Yes. There were too many of them, so I was curious about them and did an appraisal."

No matter how many species that attack people in groups, there were too many of them at that particular time. Although the dungeon is large and there should be monsters here and there, it was clearly an anomaly.

"I was fighting the goblins while keeping my barriers up, so I didn't have time to appraise them."

Although Tojurou-san and my brother defeated the goblins that came at them one after another, they were not able to handle all of them. The goblins that flowed to the rear were then handled by Kikuno-sama and Chris.

"Me, too. It was hard for Sieg and I to handle that many goblins. If only we had the Crown Prince's Fire Magic."

"Did you notice that Kikuno?"

Kikuno- nodded in affirmation to Leon's question.

"The goblins were under ''abnormal status,'' correct?"

Kikuno-sama was right, all the goblins were found to be "abnormal " in the appraisal results.

"What caused them to be 'abnormal'? No poison was used, I'm certain of that."

Tojurou-san's question was valid. There was no poison of any kind used against us. Spreading poison is dangerous in a dungeon, let alone applying it to swords and arrows. Unless you are well equipped.

"I can only guess, but those goblins were male. I think they were bewitched by Charlotte's skill."

"The Demonic Enchantment! Don't tell me it works on monsters too?"

No wonder Chris was surprised. After escaping from the dungeon, while fluffing Leon in the Rose garden, I had surmised the same thing. I don't know if Charlotte was unaware of this or if it was intentional.

"Hey! Don't tell me that the girl was manipulating them?"

"That's a possibility, too. However, since it was an accident that she fell into the 20th level, it is possible she is unaware of it."

Kikuno-sama also appraised Charlotte in the midst of the melee. The result was 'magic attribute: light, skill active'. However, she could not confirm whether she activated it intentionally or unknowingly.

"You can never be too careful," he said, "I wish I could get some more scales of the dragon god race to distribute to the other students. Shall we pull off all of Ron's scales? If it's his scales, it doesn't have to be reverse scales."

Leon is muttering something disturbing.

"How long do the scales of the dragon god tribe last?"

"It will last as long as the owner of the scales is alive. I would say forever. The Dragon Gods are immortal and sturdy."

It lasts forever. That's amazing! Scales of the Dragon God Tribe.

"Hey! Now where is that stupid cat that's trying to pull all my scales off?"

Speak of the devil. It's Ron-sama and Sylphy-sama.

"Hmph! So, you heard me."

"The Dragon Gods have good ears."

"Then it's time for a chat. Give me your scales."

Is Leon going to turn Ron-sama into a dragon without scales? That's terrible.

"Why not make Ron's scales part of the school emblem? That would require only a small amount, wouldn't it?"

Sylphy-sama, who was selecting rice cakes, made such a suggestion.

"What is a school emblem?"

"I see. There are no school emblems on this side of the world. Don't you have something to symbolize your magical academy?"

"Our symbol is the phoenix."

I showed Sylphy-sama the student handbook of the Magic Academy.

On the cover of the student handbook, the symbol of the school, a phoenix, was stamped in gold foil.

"I think Ron's scales could be fitted over the phoenix's eyes, don't you?"

"But it would be expensive to make an emblem for the school. Do you think the upper echelons of the Magic Academy would approve?"

The suggestion of Sylphy-sama is very good, but Ron-sama is right in his objection.

"No," he said, "I think it's a very good idea. I know a guy who can make a big impact in the upper echelons of society."

Leon boasted proudly.

◇◇◇◇

The anomaly occurred the day after the orientation.

The Crown Prince and Charlotte were close to each other.

If only that were the only thing, it would seem that Charlotte is getting closer to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince than she should. ......

"Rick. I want to have a cup of tea at a cafe on my way home."

"Sure," he said, "Shall we go? Lottie."

The two of them referred to each other by their nicknames.

"What are you talking about? Brother, today is hardly another cabinet meeting! You said you were going to leave early and attend the conference with Father."

Chris admonished but the crown prince merely grunted.

No way!?

We hastily appraised the Crown Prince.

The result was "magical attribute: fire and wind, abnormal condition."

What we had feared had happened.

When we looked to see if the Crown Prince was wearing a tie, we saw that his tie pin was missing!

He always wore the tie pin. Why!?

"What's wrong, Rio? Were you frustrated when you saw me with Lottie?"

I shook my head.

"It's all right. Even if I marry Lottie, I'll make you my second queen."

A laugh that contained mockery, a laugh that he showed me when I was being executed.

No doubt. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has fallen under the spell of Charlotte's skill, "Demonic Enchantment"!

TL: Dun-dun-dun!!!!! Looks like things are finally moving to some major plot points~! I can’t wait to see what Rio and crew will do and how far Charlotte’s scheming mind gets~ Also, side note, but I’ve always felt this way, but why did the Author-san make Sylphy-sama an otherworlder (or at least I think she is)? Wonder how this will play into the plot. Anyway, I hope you thoroughly enjoyed and happy reading guys~!
