Royal Secret: I'm A Princess!

Chapter 874 MATURE ERA???

"It seems like your commander hasn\'t told you about how Vitu was revived," Giant Neoma said. "I don\'t have the time to explain everything to you, so go and talk about it with your commander later."

She frowned. "Is Ruto hiding something from me again? He doesn\'t need to do that anymore since I\'ve already regained my memories."

"He\'s not hiding it from you on purpose," Giant Neoma said. "Knowing your commander, he\'s just probably waiting for you to calm down first before he tells you the deal that he made with the God of Death and the Goddess of Life."

[Ruto made a deal with them to bring back Vitu?]

"Is it something that will break my heart again?" Neoma asked carefully. "Is it going to make me hate Ruto?"

"No, of course not. But you\'ll probably get upset since you\'re the type to get angry first before seeing the bigger picture."

Ouch.

"I\'m not saying that the chance of meeting Vitu if you try to conceive him with your commander naturally is zero," Giant Neoma said indifferently. "I asked you what made you think the child you\'d conceive would be Vitu when Vitu was a Sapling out of genuine curiosity. In case you misunderstood, I wasn\'t mocking you."

She actually misunderstood and thought Giant Neoma was picking on her again.

[It can\'t be helped since Giant Neoma has a resting bitch face scarier than mine.]

"I\'ll be honest with you, Neoma Roseheart de Moonasterio," Giant Neoma said in a serious tone. "I was too happy living in my little world with Yoan and Vitu that I didn\'t bother to come up with a solution as to how you\'d be able to meet Vitu in your timeline. Hence, I cannot offer any help regarding that matter. I\'m sorry."

Oh.

She was relieved that Giant Neoma\'s concern was failing to provide a solution for her problem related to Vitu.

"You don\'t have to apologize for that," Neoma said. "And don\'t worry about it. Ruto and I will figure it out together. Using my big brain is my expertise, so I\'m sure I can find a loophole in the deal that Ruto made with the God of Death and the Goddess of Life."

"Huh? Loophole?"

"Yes, loophole," she said, nodding. "There\'s bound to be a loophole in all sorts of contracts. Once I find the loophole in Ruto\'s deal with those two gods, I\'ll exploit it and use it to our advantage."

"You sound like a crook."

"Unnie, you won\'t survive in this world if you\'re too nice. You gotta have an asshole side that you unleash once in a while so that people wouldn\'t think you\'re a doormat."

"What does \'unnie\' mean?"

"It means older sister," Neoma explained. "I now acknowledge you as my older, prettier, and stronger version, so I\'m calling you \'unnie\' from now on."

Neoma unnie smiled. "That\'s an honor, little empress."

"Empress?" she asked, surprised. "Unnie, did you also receive the prophecy of becoming the first empress regnant?"

"I thought you already retrieved your memories?"

"Oh. My big brain deletes memories and information that I don\'t need," Neoma explained. "I can always force myself to remember. But I want to hear it from you, unnie."

Neoma unnie fell silent for a moment before she opened her mouth. "When Emperor Nero died, the throne tried to force me to become the empress."

"Then what did you do, unnie?"

"I destroyed the throne with my bare hands."

Pfft.

"But it\'s not something that you can do now, little sister."

Neoma wasn\'t only surprised that Neoma unnie called her \'little sister\'– she was also surprised by what her unnie revealed. "Why? What happened, unnie? The throne is just a piece of junk, isn\'t it?"

"It\'s not something I\'m allowed to tell you, but I\'ve already given Emperor Nero a warning."

"I don\'t like it when I\'m being kept in the dark."

"I\'m sorry, but I can\'t lose the little time that I have left in this world since I still have something I need to do for you," Neoma unnie explained, her voice and face apologetic. "Moreover, the matters related to the throne are something that your twin brother has to overcome himself if he wants to be the next emperor. You can\'t do his task for him."

Neoma pouted. "I know that. Nero is just as capable as me. But I\'m just a little worried as his older sister."

"Huh? You\'re older than Emperor Nero?"

"You didn\'t know, unnie?"

"Our father told me before that Emperor Nero was the First Star."

Pfft.

"That\'s a lie, unnie. We\'re older than Nero."

"Thank you for that vital piece of information," Neoma unnie said, and she really looked grateful. "Now I have something to annoy Emperor Nero with when we meet again."

Aww.

Since it was an important information, Neoma didn\'t forget the fact that she made up with Nero in the first timeline.

[I mean, Neoma unnie and Emperor Nero weren\'t as close as Nero and I in this timeline. But, at least, they forgave each other before it was too late. It\'s just a shame that Emperor Nero died before the two could get closer.]

"I\'m happy that you have the opportunity to meet Nero again, unnie," Neoma said, smiling. "Did you also meet Nero of this timeline? The Eternal Flame said Nero was in the middle of an important conversation earlier with an important person. I had a feeling that it was you."

"That\'s right. I visited the current Prince Nero in his dreams to give him a warning."

"Unnie, how come you know the current state of affairs here when you\'ve been stuck in this world ever since the first timeline?"

"Well, I still have eyes and ears outside," Neoma unnie said, smiling haughtily. "We\'re not the only ones who remember the first timeline."

"Oh, I see."

"Are you not going to ask who my people are? You can ask them to help you, too."

Neoma paused for a moment before she shook her head. "Nah. Those are your people, unnie. Just because I\'m you doesn\'t mean they\'re obliged to help me. Plus, I don\'t need that much help yet."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, unnie."

Neoma unnie chuckled. "You\'re fun to talk to, little sister. It\'s a shame that I have to send you off now."

"Am I getting revived now?"

"Not yet. Trevor hasn\'t finished gathering the ingredients needed for your revival yet."

"Then where are you sending me off to?"

"Have you forgotten the people that you saw first after you "died?" Neoma unnie asked, laughing as if she was amused. "They\'ve been waiting for you all this time."

Neoma gasped when she finally remembered those people. "My ancestors!"

"RUTO, I didn\'t snap," Neoma said when Ruto returned to her side. "I actually had fun talking to Neoma unnie."

"I see you\'ve finally gotten along well with the other Princess Neoma," Ruto said, cupping her face between his hands. "You did well, Neoma."

She just grinned, then she wrapped her arms around Ruto\'s waist. "Did you fight with Commander Yoan?"

"I have no reason to fight him, and I wouldn\'t show violence in front of our child."

Aww.

Neoma looked around.

Her Neoma unnie, Commander Yoan, and Vitu weren\'t there because the three had to prepare the portal for Neoma and Ruto to safely get out of the Eternal Flame\'s domain.

[I think their Mana or something is needed to create the portal?]

"Are you looking for Princess Neoma and her family?"

"I just realized something, Ruto," Neoma said, then she looked up at Ruto with sparkling eyes. Yes, she loved the fact that she had to look up at her man because he was taller than her. She liked making herself believe that she was a tiny babygirl and not a giant princess. "I told Neoma unnie that we\'re going to conceive Vitu naturally this time."

"Ah, I told Commander Yoan the same."

"Then didn\'t we just practically announce that we\'re going to have sex?"

As expected, Ruto\'s entire face turned red quickly.

Neoma giggled at her man\'s cute reaction. "Why are you blushing so hard when you\'re no longer a teenager? Come on, Ruto. You\'re too old to be embarrassed by a mere sex talk."

Ruto cleared his throat, his face still red from embarrassment. "Neoma…"

"Don\'t you feel bad for me? You let me die a virgin!"

This time, Ruto choked on his own saliva.

"Gosh," Neoma complained while lightly hitting Ruto in the chest with her hands. "Now that I\'m thinking about it, you must have not liked me enough because you never laid your hands on me in the first timeline."

"I was just trying to respect you then…"

"But I don\'t want to be respected that much– I want you to ruin me– mmf!"

Ruto, who looked like a human tomato now, covered Neoma\'s mouth with his hand. "Neoma, you\'ve just turned eighteen. I\'m already in my early twenties. It just doesn\'t feel right to be talking about this already…"

Neoma removed Ruto\'s hand from her mouth. "Are you crazy? If you combined all my ages from the lives I\'ve lived, then I\'d be over sixty years old by now. You\'re older than me, so you\'re probably over seventy years old mentally. So, if you combined our ages together, then we\'d be over a hundred years old. We\'re allowed to have sex at this age!"

Once again, Ruto choked on his saliva. He was also sweating profusely by now. "Alright. Calm down. I won\'t let you die a v-virgin this time. But marriage–"

"I\'m open to pre-marital sex, so don\'t make me wait for too long."

"Do you want your family to kill me?"

"How would they know if we did it or not?"

Ruto looked stupefied by what Neoma said, then he laughed softly.

"Hey, I\'m serious– mmf."

This time, Neoma was shut up by Ruto\'s deep kiss.

[Okay, this way of shutting me up is kinda sexy.]

***

"ARE YOU not going to tell the current Princess Neoma?"

Neoma turned to Drystan who met her at the gate of the Eternal Flame\'s domain. "Tell her what?"

Of course,she knew what the King of Hell was trying to say.

[But I don\'t want to think about it too much.]

"That once Princess Neoma and the Divine Lord leave this place, you and Commander Yoan will completely disappear," Drystan said in a serious tone. "That the piece of your souls that were left here for many years would vanish into oblivion?"
