The Real Monster 3 Call to Another World III

The sight was amazing. These middle-ages style of clothing and the showing of skin is awesome I can say! The plump of the princess' chest is peeking out as it threatens to burst out and greet me. The thought of it alone is waking me up from my indifference towards the people around me. I basically want to sleep and just take it easy, yet they summoned me and want me to be their slave, collar or not. I have no love for them; but it this princess were the one to greet me instead of that old man earlier, I would have thought it to be reconcilable a matter.

Of course when we entered her room, the person herself noticed us quickly and put her guard up. I see, she was making the kind of face that says she was not wary of me, instead she was wary of the maid. Is that how it is, she's a captive in her own castle? Does the king not care for her because she's a woman and cannot inherit the throne?

Let's look at her status:

Name: Giselle vi Acadria

Class: Princess

Sub-Class: None

Title: Seventh Princess of Acadria

Stats:

[STR - Uncommon] [INT - Rare]

[MGC - Rare] [DEX - Uncommon]

Skills:

[Management] [Human Language - Advanced] Space Magic] [Etiquette]

Blessing: None

Status: Alarmed

That's how she is feeling huh, Alarmed. I wonder if I should make her my ally? That would be good for me, but it may be troublesome for her. Let's ask her later when the scary maid is gone.

[Princess, pardon our intrusion. The Hero has been entrusted to you by the Chancellor. He wishes that you would impart to him our language and convince him of our cause, by any means. That is all. I have done my job, please excuse me.]

The maid seemed to have no respect for her. What an arrogant maid they have. Evidence of how low they see the princess, maybe? I'm tempted to make an alliance with her even more now.

As the maid left, the princess' wariness left her face as well as if it were just an illusion. She now wore a dignified face, worthy of her standing. I see, this is how the situation was and I can clearly see now. Plus, her Status says Normal now. This one's clever huh? Let's look confused for now and face the princess. She's also looking over here without batting an eyelid. Haha. This is the dumb princess they talked about, look just how sharp her eyes are! Those are the eyes of a predator.

[It seems they really succeeded in summoning a Hero of sorts. I wonder how strong you are even as you just arrived?] She spoke and then gasp as if remembering what she forgot. She then slowly came to me, closer and I inched back just as she advanced. That was so until I hit a cabinet for books behind me. Even as I was stopped, she continued coming for me and our face drew closer and closer as I could not bend my body more than I had already.

[Why is this guy so afraid? I' such a beauty that you'd lunge at me given the chance right? Maybe he's shy? Fufufu]

If I did not understand her from the beginning, that laugh just now would have scared me to death! phew! Thank you gifts and abilities!

[Well then, let's have you granted the laguage now. They made me into the one to put a leash on you, so that I could become useful huh, just all you wait and see. Even thinking of making me use my body to lure this poor guy.] As she said that, Giselle leaned even more forward and our foreheads touched then suddenly she muttered something I could not quite get and some kind of warmth entered my body through our foreheads. Then:

Language Acquisition - Advanced levels up.

Language Acquisition - Master acquired.

My language skill leveled up just like that. Awesome.

[now with this, you should be able to understand me right? Please answer me if you do. Even if its just basic for now, as you continue to use it, that language skill would level up to master in no time.]

"Of course I understand princess. But please let me ask you to please discipline your subordinates your highness. Please tell those two to stop staring at my eyes, they have been really rude since the start." I told the princess in a joking manner. I wonder if she'd understand my joke?

I was staring straight at her peeking chest. If I take my eyes off them now, I'd feel that I am not worthy to be called a MAN! This is how a man should act! Straightforward and devoid of pretenses!

[W-What are you saying you sex offender!] And she sent me a slap.

*Pak*

A resounding slap and a hurt hand was the result. I wonder how hard my face has become, thank you Cryptonian Genes! Finally, it has a use!

"Forgive me, but please, explain to me what happened. For me to be able to understand you very suddenly?"

[What's with the sudden change of pace? Anyway, I just imparted you with the language skill. Although it should still be basic right now and if I ever used terms that have deeper meaning like 'Philanderer' to describe you, then you'd only hear a beep of some kind. See?]

I did not hear a beep at all, plus, my skill is at Advanced level so I can totally understand what you just said. She holds grudges huh?

[Why don't we sit there for now and talk about things.] She then gestured towards the coffee table she had inside her room. There was also a sofa set, and some more bookshelves at every wall. I wonder if I can read these things and be entertained at least, let's think about that later. I followed her and sat at the chair opposite hers. She poured tea for both of us and took a sip. I too followed her gesture.

[How do you feel? I know you must be quite perplexed as you have just arrived, so let me introduce myself first. My name is Genna the Seventh Princess of Acadria. So my full name would be Genna vi Acadria. It sure is not pleasant to meet you, Philanderer from another world.] She smiled when she said that. Does she think I did not understand what she just said? Should I tease her back, no, I need to gather important information right now, endure, Clay, endure.

By the way, she hid her real name from me. She must not trust me at all and she must be confident enough that she let her guard down quite a bit while I am facing her, despite being alone, or there must be something giving her this much confidence huh?

"Princess Genna, I am called Clay. Please take care of me from now on. I'm very afraid of that old guy that greeted me earlier. He looked at me as if I wasn't a human being but some sort of lowly being. However, when I looked at you, I was mesmerized and immediately fell for your beauty. As if Fate telling me; "She's the one!" I must tell you, you have captured my heart the moment I laid my eyes on you!" I said all that while reaching for her hand that she immediately slapped away. Her Status clearly states Disgust huh?

[Philanderer! I am unworthy of your affections for I am but a princess, a flower without thorns the dumb princess that they say I am. I cannot dare sully your name oh Philanderer! I must not! I cannot bear the shame I would inflict upon you.]

I noticed this earlier but we have been exchanging this conversation for a bit now, I have already noticed her eyes hinting me about something behind me. if I use my hobbyist power here, then those hints are for telling me that there are people spying on us and our very conversation now. Really, what a clever girl she is. I wonder if I can see through objects by now?

Oh no, I won't use it to peek at the princess, I want to see the people behind me and know exactly how many there are. However, I cannot be blamed for when I turn to the Princess again right?

"Oh noble princess! I have no care for such drivel. I do not care! I only want to be with you and you alone. Be mine!"

What a great pick-up line from me. I will have to remember this one.

"Now, what should we do about the people at the back of that room?"

I whispered to her to clarify that I got her signal, she nodded and she started another line of conversation.

[Now then, Hero, I must ask you to become our Hero and defeat the enemy forces for us. If you are able to accomplish this, I shall offer myself and my life to being your wife.]

[Princess! There is no greater sacrifice than that which you do for those whom you love. I understand your determination, however, I cannot let you do this for the sake of paying me, I want it to be of pure and moving heart.

No matter how it sucks, my acting that is, it;s necessary!

Let's tease her here, "However princess, seeing as you really are hell bent on offering yourself to me, how could a man not do his responsibilities. I accept Princess. With this, she's tied to me. I can use her to live a very easy-going life here in the castle. look at her face cringing over there, let's see what those men are doing in the hidden room. Hmm. They're slowly moving out, did they get convinced of me getting totally charmed by the princess? After a few more seconds and they will totally be gone.

[They should be-]

I stopped her right there. I extended my index finger to cover my lips. She should understand that, as she did stop talking after all. Let's wait a few more seconds for good measure. And~ they're completely gone, just in case let's survey the surroundings and... all clear. Let's give her the go ahead now. I took my finger off my lips and showed her my open palm, signifying for her to continue.

[Is it okay to speak now?]

"Yes princess. The coast is clear. We may continue our love-love conversation." I teased her a bit.

[Coast is clear? What do you mean by that?]

Ahh, she got distracted with my foreign terms, let's stir the conversation away from that shall we?

"Princess Genna, are you able to seal the space we are in with your ability? It is better to be safe than sorry later on. Please do it if you are able and let's proceed to the real talks."

She showed a very alarmed look on her face and a glint of viciousness also appeared. I told her that with a serious face so that she would understand that I am not someone as simple as the people of this world would think. Just as I have known her real identity and how she really is the moment her eyes cleared from the encounter with the maid. After a few seconds of shock, she recovered and instead chuckled right after saying:

[How cunning. It seems you have already grasp who and how I am. And your eyes are extraordinary it seems. To be able to know that I have the ability to seal space, this is indeed a very good surprise.]

[It seems it will be of no use to retain the name Genna. Let me re-introduce my self then, I am Giselle vi Acadria Seventh Princess of Acadria. Sorceress of Space, self-proclaimed it may be, but my skill is real and I take pride in it.]

[A pleasure to make your acquaintance, Hero Clay.]

"The pleasure is mine Princess." The atmosphere just turned a few degrees lower and chilly. The atmosphere became serious as well. I guess it's not time to fool around now. "As you already know, I am called Clay. It seems this Kingdom of yours has grown a tad bit too unrestrained, even maids look down on their princess. This is a surprise to me."

[You have observed well, Clay, please call me Giselle and I'll call you Clay, is that alright? Continuing on, yes, you are absolutely right. The king has been bedridden for a time now and the chancellor has grown more and more audacious. He began taking command as if he were king and now he even initiated the hero summoning without father's consent nor anyone else. Worse, this hero summoning should have been passed down only to the king yet he knew about it, that to me smells very fishy.]

[He has become a bitt too much to just tolerate so, I need something to make him fall and with you Hero, I would be able to move even more freely and do things to take him down while you distract him with your heroism.]

{That is... if you agree.]

"Oh, I only have one principle in life, Giselle. I move only when I need to. So right now, whatever you say to me will only sound as someone else's problem and I would not even care a bit."

"At first I planned to do what I can as a Hero and disappear from the battlefield later on when it get's chaotic, however that would have been too much work. However, seeing you and having this encounter, I have changed my mind. I want you to be Queen, Giselle, and you will have me as husband. That way, I can live my life at ease of whatever. What do you think about my wondrous plan, what do you think?"

[...]

Giselle stayed quite for a bit and shook. Did she hear what I said just now? I don't think she did.

"Don't worry, I will do what you ask of me until you become queen, however, just know that killing innocents and the children is against my policy. That's all I have as a condition. If you want to use me, then use me, but remember, I will want my peaceful unhindered life after everything else."

[You.. are surprisingly very cunning. I was thinking of using you, but you have already grasped even that from the start, so you went straight to negotiating your terms. Alright, I will agree. I will agree to shelter you as Queen and you will be the symbol of peace in Acadria. How's that?]

"That's not bad at all, then let's first set some ground rules. On my end, I want to live in comfort without being unreasonably disturbed, I will also not move if its to harm innocents and third, I will kill you if you try something funny with me. That's it from me, anything else, I'm game."

[Okay. I will be able to agree with all your terms. However, to threaten someone, one has to have an overwhelming advantage over the other, but as you are now, I don't think you're in that position just yet.]

She was provoking me with that. She wants to know if she can rely on me, use me well. She really is very clever huh. If I don't show her strength to back up my words, she'll only take it as a bluff huh? How should I go about this, I don't have anything to show for it. Hmm. Let's go with the image of releasing killing intent in the atmosphere? I have a lot of novels and manga on my belt, I can probably pull of some intimidation of some sort right?

I should get serious with her and look her in the eye. While maintaining that look, I try to remember that pain I had to endure just because I was summoned, who was I to blame for all that? Imhoteph? No, he gave me a fighting chance, but why did I have to be given that in the first place? Yes, because of these self-righteous bastards that only think of themselves and not the other people they involve in their foolishness. Yes, the king the emperor who ever in high power, even this princess right in front of me. Even that pompous god Safir, sooner or later, I will look for him and make him truly live up to his name and Suffer! You were the ones who took me without even consulting me and you had the gull to try and enslave me to do your bidding? Is that how low humanity has fallen in this world?! You play games with your god buddies and since you want to play soe more you summoned heroes to your play as a chess piece?! Fuck THAT! I will pay you back for this, just you wait you damn gods. I will find any means I can to visit your realm and I will put you in a frying pan. kukukukuku

[H-He-hero Clay, p-p-please calm yourself. I was merely- eeekkk!]

I heard Giselle's voice and I turned my downcast eyes towards her direction. I think she was pleading, I couldn't hear her very well because of the turmoil in my head, tsk. I need to calm down, no need to be so hung up on things like that, as long as I'm alive, I don't care what happens to people unrelated to me, just don't do it in front of me.

Oh, and Giselle seems to have fallen off her chair and was holding her dagger aiming towards her heart. What're you doing?

"What're you doing?"

That's dangerous you know.

"That's dangerous you know."

You'll never know if you accidentally press on it.

"You'll never know if you accidentally press on it."

What's going on, my thoughts are leaking. I need to calm down! NOW! Chill Clay. Chill!

*Breathe In*

*Breathe Out*

I did that breathing exercise thingy for about ten seconds and finally started to calm down. I have to show Giselle a very generous smile to appease her. She looks frozen in fear. I don't think I had that much of an impact right?

*Ping!*

Overpower acquired.

What the heck? Did I just get a skill for that?!

Anyway, I have to talk to Giselle first.

"Princess? It's not that I wanted to show you something nasty right, but since this is a closed space, it's convenient enough. I hope we'll be able to cooperate well, Giselle." I ended that speech with a smile just as planned.

However, Giselle seemed to have frozen instead.

[...] Was the Overpower skill too strong for her to handle?

"Uhh, Hello? Princess Giselle?" I waved my hands in front of her eyes and she seemed to have come to. However..

[EEEKkk!]

She squealed and fainted on the spot. A good thing that the dagger she had, already fell away from her when she fell again. I just leaned and waved my hands but she fainted instead, just how overpowering is Overpower?

Overpower

«[Passive: Intimidation at highest level. Uses mana to boost the effect. Uses Killing Intent to further enhance the effect] [Active: Can be used when shouting a battle cry to demoralize and induce heart-bursting fear into enemies. Weaker enemies affected either faint(70% Chance) or die from heart attack(30% Chance); Allies gain morale to the highest peak.]»

This is too overpowering man! Good thing Giselle did not die of heart attack. She just fainted... right! Shoot!

I scoot over to check on her pulse.

*thump thump thump*

Phew! That was too damn nerve-wracking! I should let her sleep for now. We won't be able to talk about anything either way anyway. I should just sleep, here, it's not really a bad thing, with these babies looking at my eyes, as rude as always. hue hue hue hue hue
