A Righteous Female Knight Never Compromises!-Chapter 9 : There’s no taste lying
{Chapter 9} There’s no taste lying
[Simulation ended, calculating results...]
When Anna woke up, the only thing displayed on her retina was the simulated results interface.
After that, Anna skipped through the simulations, almost frantically skipping important plots just to see the steamy scenes.
However, while the simulator did have some steamy scenes, they were given too sparingly.
This teasing left Anna both furious and helpless.
As she approached the end of the simulation, Anna managed to wet one spot, but that was it.
Fortunately, after one round, Anna felt a little tired. And since she was only lacking a bit of exhaustion, she finally managed to fall asleep peacefully without anyone accompanying her.
That said, after struggling for so long to finish, Anna still harbored a lot of resentment towards the broken simulator when she woke up.
It went all out on the parts it shouldn't have written about, but when it came to the parts it should have written about, it focused on serious matters. What kind of nonsense is it to have steamy scenes that make up less than a fifth of the content?
Can't I file a complaint with customer service? Can we have more steamy content and less serious stuff in the future?
Full of resentment, Anna squirmed on the bed for a while, but eventually, she reluctantly got up.
Although she slept late, at least she got some sleep, which is better than staying up all night in the simulation because no one was there to accompany her...
‘By the way, what did the simulation simulate yesterday?’
After changing her clothes and freshening up in her room's bathroom, Anna finally realized this.
Never mind, it's fine to check later...
...
[XX, you planned this! (Bronze Medal): Being plotted against to death, and finally understanding who plotted against you.]
[Reward: 1 achievement point, a half-face mask to block sunlight][Conditions to unlock silver medal: None]
So the serious plot in yesterday's simulation was that intense?
Last night, Anna was too focused on the steamy scenes and didn't pay attention to the serious plot at all. Especially in the later part, she didn't even glance at the serious content, instead searching for steamy scenes between the lines.
When it came to the critical moments, building up momentum, ready to burst forth, with a roaring storm, vast and mighty, getting weaker with each reduction, as thin as a trickle, and finally quieting down, who has time to read the extra words that were added as fillers!?
Those words should be read when you've calmed down, not when you're in the moment!
Although Anna fell asleep right after and didn't get to see what the content was.
Now, taking a look... It seems like in the simulation, I was completely sold out by Margaret?
After agreeing to Margaret's invitation, the Latimir family immediately expressed support for Margaret. Margaret, representing the eldest princess faction, quickly turned the tables and directly exposed Theodore's issues during a speech, completely breaking off with Theodore.
Theodore's pure-blood faction was also powerful, but Margaret's swift political coup caught them off guard.
Although the pure-blood faction had some military power, the second royal guard, directly controlled by the eldest princess, and the fifth royal guard, controlled by the Latimir family, launched a coup at night, aiming for a surprise attack.
The pure-blood faction in the royal city was immediately arrested. The fourth royal guard, controlled by the pure-blood faction, was sent to the border to deal with the increasingly tense border situation.
The other garrison and border troops controlled by the pure-blood faction wouldn't and couldn't be stationed in the royal city.
As for the first royal guard? They were only responsible for the king's safety and didn't care about power struggles. As long as the king who ascended the throne had a legitimate claim, these knights wouldn't interfere.
Even the royal knight faction within the first royal guard itself was a faction, but they didn't have much power in other areas. The only thing they had was military strength.
With the other royal guards keeping them in check, these knights couldn't rebel.
In any case, the coup launched on the first day of Frost Month directly arrested Theodore. Charles V, who was as clueless as a puppet, abdicated to Margaret. Since abdication wasn't considered usurpation in name, Margaret was officially crowned.
After that, Margaret spent a year cleaning up the remnants of the pure-blood faction in the outer regions.
Because the pure-blood faction had a large family business and their ideals attracted many people, the cleanup took a year.
Once the cleanup was mostly done, Margaret turned her attention to the nobles who had supported her ascent to the throne and who now hold a bit too much power... such as the Latimir family.
Seeing herself die a sudden death at home, with dozens of explosive arrows piercing her back, and only realizing at the last moment that Margaret had killed her, only to be posthumously declared a suicide, Anna couldn't help but felt both angry and amused.
Why didn't I take it seriously when Louise warned me earlier?
Am I really that stupid?
Feeling frustrated, Anna accepted the reward and casually tossed the mask that could cover the upper half of her face into her spatial ring.
It seems that collaborating with Margaret, a woman in her thirties, was indeed like making a deal with a tiger. I'll check in the next few days of simulation to see what happens if I make different choices.
...Also, in the later simulations, there wasn't much mention of Jean. I don't know if she died or what happened to her in that simulation.
“Anna, are you okay?”
Seeing Anna listlessly poking the bread on her plate with her fork, Atala looked worried, and Louise changed at Anna a few times.
“I'm fine. I'm just thinking about the royal city's lockdown,” Anna said, straightening her expression. She couldn't let them think her listlessness was because no one accompanied her to sleep.
After all, what she was thinking about was indeed related to the royal city's lockdown... Isn't the lockdown related to Margaret?
...Wait, if they misunderstood and felt sorry for me, wouldn't the chance of someone accompanying me to sleep at night increase?
I shouldn't have blurted out what I just said so quickly!
It's still salvageable!
Now, I just need to put on a forced smile...
Anna tried hard to put on such a reluctant expression, but Atala, sitting next to her, suddenly leaned in...
“Sniff sniff...”
“Atala...?”
Under the bewildered gaze of Anna and the sharp stares of Louise and Helga, Atala leaned close to Anna's cheek, sniffed, and then lightly licked Anna's ear.
“No smell of lies. Anna is telling the truth.”
So the elf race can tell lies by licking? What kind of strange racial ability is this? Or is it some evil spirit causing trouble?
In any case, Anna, who had been making plans so clearly, was completely stunned now.
