059. Sowing (3)
To conclude, Madame Justine was a decent designer worthy of her reputation.
After the tedious process of measuring the size, Seongjin tried on the clothes that had been sewn with some modifications and was a little surprised. Because the finished clothes were quite decent.
It is made of loud material that scatters rainbow colors, has a large swallowtail butterfly pattern, and is embroidered with gorgeous jewels.
Seongjin, who had expected it to look like a space shaman with all the strange elements gathered together, gaped at the finished product, which was surprisingly normal and even looked quite sophisticated.
Madame Justine covers her mouth with her fan and laughs softly.
“Hohohong. “I think you have the looks to support a bold design.”
Is it true that the completion of fashion is ultimately the face?
As I was once again admiring it, Madame quietly approached me and spoke while touching the basting pins that were stuck here and there on my clothes.
“Perhaps it is fortunate that your Majesty has not ordered a banquet dress yet. “I would have had to cut it all anew anyway.”
“… “Banquet gown?”
There’s a lot of clothes piled up in Mores’ room, and he’s ordering more?
“yes. There will be at least 5 new clothes that need to be worn during the birthday party. Confucius from noble families often match more than 10 sets. “They’re sweeping up all the new designs for the season.”
“10 sets… … .”
“At least compared to royal events in other countries, it’s pretty decent. People who are prosperous generally like elegant and neat designs, and since the number of orders is not that large, it is rare for concepts to overlap.”
If you happen to go out wearing something similar to a royal banquet gown, you will be criticized for not knowing proper etiquette.
“That’s why some places prepare dozens of preliminary designs. “On days when the reserved clothes overlap with the royal design, there are many cases where all the clothes that were produced are thrown away.”
Therefore, it is a virtue for the royal family, who are the subjects of the banquet, to decide on their banquet attire as quickly as possible.
“The birthday party is less than a month and a half away. “It’s still quite late, so it would be a good idea to get your banquet attire ready while you’re here.”
Crack. Madame Justine stretched out her collar with great force, looked her s*x up and down her face, and wrinkled her nose approvingly.
“Hmm, now that I’m wearing it myself, doesn’t the state of the clothes change so much? “If you send only employees to Jinju Palace on business trips, no matter how well-matched they may be, they will not be able to perform their work satisfactorily.”
“… “If you don’t trust me that much, you can come to Jinju Palace, right?”
“That’s because I can’t enter the imperial palace.”
“… … ?”
Before he could ask anything, Madame Justine put her hand on Seongjin’s shoulder and smiled brightly.
“Now, shall we take a look at the condition of Gabon in the back?”
And he lightly pushed Seongjin back in front of the mirror.
“… … !”
At that moment, goosebumps appeared all over Seongjin’s body.
what?
Why is this so unpleasant?
It feels like I touched something empty.
I feel like I’ve encountered something that shouldn’t be here… … .
Madame lowered her head, puzzled by Seongjin’s suddenly stiff movements. When she noticed Seongjin’s somewhat unusual expression, she was shocked and pulled her hand away. The inertial smile from before could no longer be seen on Madame’s face as she took a step back.
“… … .”
Seongjin also stiffened and glared at Madame Justine in silence. It feels like something is very wrong, but I don’t know why.
However, looking at Madame’s calm eyes, I was convinced that she definitely knew the reason.
Chilly silence.
Sir Claudia, who was standing in front of the door, called out to him, embarrassed by the suddenly heavy air.
“… Lowering?”
How long were they glaring at each other like that?
Eventually, Madame Justine broke the silence and opened her mouth. Her voice was hollow, as if she had lost some strength.
“… I feel… “You are very sensitive.”
“… … .”
“After all, His Majesty’s bloodline is different no matter what… … .”
He hesitated as if he wanted to say something more, but then he chewed his lip and complained.
“… “I will bring the design drafts.”
Madame lowered her eyes and looked away, silently bowing her head to Seongjin.
And then he turns around and walks out of the special room. Even during this time, he was still walking lightly.
“Lowering? “Why are you doing this all of a sudden?”
Sir Claudia was embarrassed and asked again, but Seongjin was so busy talking to the devil in his head that he didn’t have time to answer her.
‘… hey.’
[huh?]
‘You said earlier that that guy is amazing, right? ‘How is it so strange?’
In response to Seongjin’s question, the devil paused for a moment and said, “Hmm.”
[Well, I don’t know what to say. uh… It’s hard to pinpoint, but I wonder if my body feels a little strange somehow. It’s like it’s not moving properly. Do you feel awkward, as if it doesn’t fit your soul? Feeling a little lacking in vitality?]
‘… What is that?’
[So you said it was difficult to explain. Anyway, I feel very different from people in this world.]
Are you different from people in this world?
[okay. I don’t know why, but that guy somehow smells like something from another world. So, where is it… Oh right!]
The Demon King, who was groaning, seemed to suddenly realize something and shouted with a bright smile.
[Gyusang World! I feel just like a human from the normal world!]
Seongjin was shocked by the unexpected answer.
The normal world.
A place said to be one level higher than the flame worlds such as Sigurd 34 and Gehenna.
A world that follows a single, gigantic flow that passes through dimensions and thus maintains extreme stability.
According to the Demon King’s explanation, most of these normal worlds are characterized by their standardized appearance. This is because all laws in the world are bound to the same flow.
So, as these worlds have a narrow range of change, their tone is so solid that it is incomparable to the world of bad dreams. It’s almost impossible to force open the gate and break in from another dimension.

In other words, things belonging to the world of normal images cannot easily appear in the world of mental images or real images.
But how could a person of that level exist here in Delcross?
[But if you say that you are a human from a completely normal world, that is not true. Souls belonging to the normal world are a bit unique and can be recognized immediately when you see them. But that guy’s soul is not much different from Delcross’s soul.]
That’s why the devil said it was difficult to explain.
[But that guy’s body is different. Like everything else in the normal world, I can feel one huge flow controlling that body. That’s why I feel like I can’t properly blend in with this world and keep feeling awkward.]
At first glance, there may not be much difference.
However, since the materials that make up the body and the laws that govern it are fundamentally different, some differences are bound to appear.
For example, the mass is different.
That you can be a little heavier or a little lighter than other humans.
‘Ah, so… … !’
Only then did Seongjin realize the identity of the sense of discomfort he felt.
The unpleasant feeling I felt earlier was nothing else. His energy, which was better developed than others, felt like a strangely inappropriate load was applied just by applying a little force to his body.
A human from the normal world with a body from the normal world. then.
‘Is he possibly possessed like me?’
Seongjin, a human from the world of imaginary images, became Mores of the world of natural images.
Although they are slightly different cases, they have something in common: they are souls that entered the body of a human from another world.
So, wouldn’t it be possible to get a clue about Seongjin’s current condition by investigating Madame Justine?
‘It makes sense to think that way… … .’
But why are you so reluctant?
I feel like I just want to cover it up like this.
[So, what do we do now? While I’m at it, do you want to try hitting on that guy?]
The Demon King asked, but Seongjin thought for a moment and shook his head.
There are guard knights next to Seongjin now. It wouldn’t be a situation where he would suddenly grab Madame and ask her about another dimension.
Moreover, it was the twins who first introduced Salon de Mercy. There is a good chance that you already know about Madame.
If the twins know, shouldn’t it be assumed that Seonghwang also knows? Is there any need for her to intervene and cause trouble?
Above all, Seongjin was caught up in the strange feeling that he did not want to delve too deeply into his current state. A feeling that she might consider a kind of premonition.
[okay? If you are, well.]
The Demon King trembled once in his soul, as if he was stretching himself, and then continued speaking.
[By the way, now that you are a prince, you have a lot to think about. If it were my nature, I would have just flipped it over without measuring it.]
‘… uh?’
[You can’t stop being curious, can you?]
‘… … .’
That’s right.
Ah, I feel uncomfortable. I can’t wait to go back to Jinju Palace and swing the nutcracker to my heart’s content.
Madame Justine left as if she was avoiding the place, and after a while, she returned to the special room with an innocent expression on her face. Holding a ton of design books in both her hands.
After laying out a bunch of them all over the place, he passionately began explaining the design concept. Of course, I maintained an appropriate distance from Seongjin.
“Come on, Haha. How do you like this design? Don’t you think the sharp falling lines, combined with the angular traditional patterns, look truly elegant? This one was named ‘The Great Emperor of Blades’!”
“Look here, my dear. This design is ‘Moonlight Glory’. The motif is the fairy tale of the moon fairy who announced the improvement of the success of the first generation. “Aren’t the silver-colored jewels truly beautiful?”
In Seongjin’s opinion, they were graffiti that he couldn’t quite figure out on what basis to appreciate them.
I was reacting half-heartedly with a sullen face, but surprisingly, there was a person who started to become absorbed in this.
“The design with the theme of improvement for an event hosting foreign guests is a bit… … .”
“Ah, the saturation is a little darker here… … .”
“This is great! The dignity encompassed by the understated mise-en-scène… … .”
Sir Claudia. Did you like this?
“Did you say Lord Claudia? Wow, it’s been so long since I’ve had someone I can communicate with. “How is it possible that there are so many knights with such great fashion sense?”
“Hehe! Even though I’m like this, when I was young, there was a time when I was studying Breton culture with the intention of going abroad to study.”
“How! “You said that too.”
“Ehehe.”
After a heated discussion, five sets of banquet dresses were decided on in an instant. There was no room for Seongjin to interfere.
Finally, when the two people asked about his final intentions, Seongjin waved his hand indicating that they could take care of it.
All the clothes are there, so there’s something to choose from.
Still, thanks to Sir Claudia, we surprisingly saved time, so let’s go back quickly and practice.
After thinking that, Seongjin got up from his seat without delay.
“My dear.”
However, Madame Justine, who followed him to the entrance of the Salon de Mercy to see him off, cautiously approached him and opened her mouth.
“It is difficult to give a detailed explanation right now. But I swear to the Lord, I can assure you of this.”
Madame lowered her posture a little more and whispered softly in Seongjin’s ear.
“Hey. I am your Majesty’s person who has worked for you for a long time. “You can just trust that.”
“… … .”
Seongjin quietly glared at Madam.
[Is your pulse stable? It doesn’t really seem like he’s lying.]
The demon lord next to me quietly makes a comment.
As he said, Madam’s more serious attitude than usual seemed genuine in Seongjin’s eyes.
only… … .
“Can we say that it is your father’s will that you cannot enter the imperial palace?”
“… … .”
“okay. At least I will believe that you are in the palm of your hand.”
Crispy. The solid smile covering Madame Justine’s face cracks.
Seongjin, who stared at that stern face for a moment, snorted inwardly and got into the carriage.
okay. There’s no way I can be easily trusted just because I pretend to be obedient.
Seongjin’s senses, which had been sharp since he first saw Madame, were still sounding an alarm towards the author.
* * *
Claudia Bowling was very excited.
It was indeed the day I left the imperial palace for the first time in a long time and went into the city. Recently, training has increased and the palace guard has been strengthened, so even on off-duty days, I’ve been busy staying in the dorms.
Additionally, the high-quality designs she saw at Salon de Mercy perfectly satisfied her aesthetic desires that she had forgotten about.
Banquet dresses that fully reflect your taste. How wonderful it would be if Prince Mores wore it!
Even though Sir Maria was subtly noticing her from the side, Claudia couldn’t stop herself from bursting out into laughter every now and then.
“Hehehe.”
If other seniors had heard about it, they would have been upset, but Claudia, who had just become an official knight, did not dislike the 3rd prince whom she served.
Whatever the previous rumors, the prince she saw was a rare swordsman genius and diligent. She lost weight in an instant and looked like a prince from a fairy tale.
‘Sometimes I give off a strange vibe that is not appropriate for my age… … .’
The young prince, who had no way of knowing what she was thinking, just stared out the window with his usual sullen expression.
Meanwhile, the carriage was unable to move forward at all and kept stopping repeatedly. As the late afternoon approached, the crowd on the streets increased even more.
“I think it will take quite some time to get to the Pearl Palace. “I think it will get a little quieter after evening.”
As Sir Maria was looking outside with a worried face, Prince Mores said something unexpected.
“Then, since we’re going to be late anyway, should we just eat and then go in?”
“yes?”
“I thought it would save a lot of time to eat in advance and return after it was quiet. “Do you two want to eat anything?”
At that moment, a list of famous restaurants appeared in Claudia’s mind. Even high-end restaurants where the salary of a low-ranking engineer would not be possible.
“rain… “Can it be expensive, sir?”
In response to her trembling question, the prince obediently nodded.
“If you want to eat anything, go there. “I’ll buy you anything.”
Wow! Prince is the best!
However, Claudia’s excitement did not last long.
The problem was that a group of Breton people came into the restaurant where they were sitting. They started talking very foul language in Breton.
“… Success… piggy… Damn… … .”
“… It’s like… Delcross… Ridiculous… … .”
She, who had once prepared to study abroad in Brittany, could barely understand. They are obviously gossiping about Prince Mores, who is known to be a bastard!
Embarrassed Claudia glanced at him, but the prince just put a small piece of meat into his mouth with a nonchalant expression.
‘Well, there’s no way the prince knows Breton… … .’
Should I say I’m glad? It was when Claudia, who felt uncomfortable being alone for no reason, was chewing on her meal.
“… girl… From humble origins… … .”
“… abject… The status is falling… … .”
“… prostitute… … .”
These bad guys even hit Princess Amelia this time!
Claudia’s face is becoming increasingly pale due to the excessive gossip.
Grumble.
Suddenly, Prince Mores stood up, pushing his chair. Claudia suddenly looked up at his face and was startled for a moment.
The prince was smiling with his teeth showing, with an expression that was more ferocious than ever before!
And Prince Mores, who approached the group of Bretons with great strides, said exactly this in extremely fluent Breton.
“ruler. Try talking bullshit again. “You bastards.”
