True King's Ecstasy

The emergency door was surrounded by nobles who wanted to escape the castle safely. They shouldn't even know about this place as it was the royal family's secret but Julie didn't know how they clustered around this.

"Damn it, those commoners, as soon I go back to my territory, I'm going to kill every single one in my land,"

"You said it, they are so used to biting the same hand that fed them, it's revolting,"

Julie covered herself near a pillar, so they won't notice her and listened to their conversation.

'Is this really the people father used to take help from? Why did I stay blind for so many ears?'

She didn't know what to do anymore but she had one purpose in her mind, which was to protect her dear home and help her brother.

"I will make things right with my brother, this is too cruel," She decided to change everything in the kingdom. She knew if commoners win this war royal family would lose their position but still, she was motivated to do whatever she had to protect everyone.

"Oh my, look who's here," Before she could even collect her thoughts, Julie heard a rough voice behind her making her body jump back a few meters back.

Everyone else who was near the entrance looked at her with happiness as only royal blood can open the emergency exit.

"Princess, we were searching for you, please open this gate, commoners are rebelling against us, we should collect our regional armies to deal with them," One of the nobles shouted as he bowed his head showing respect to Julie.

Julie couldn't even imagine how these people are so disillusioned. Well if she said she wasn't until now it's just hypocrisy so she didn't want to be one of them.

"Count Smith, why are you escaping? Shpulsnt we come to deal with commoners and provide them what they ask for? Why are you running away?" Hearing her question, everyone frowned.

"Come to a deal? With those filthy commoners, looks like our princess is quite a jester," Everyone thought she was joking, they didn't even think about commoners as humans so why deal with them?

"I'm serious, Duke Perera, why are you running away you're one of the highest authorities in this kingdom, shouldn't you deal with this?"

Everyone who was laughing until now started to realise that their princess wasn't joking.

"Are you serious? Princess Julie, do you want us to bow our heads in front of that garbage?"

Dissatisfaction started to build up among them, they felt their patience running slow.

"Yes, this is wrong! Those commoners are fighting with ha because they are hungry and sad with the current status of the kingdom, join with them and let's improve this kingdom," Julie thought at least a few of them would have changed, but unlike what she expected everyone looked at her with angry faces.

"Grab her! Use her hand to open the seal,"

Suddenly an unexpected order came making everyone confused.

"Is it really ok? She's a royal family member," They doubted these orders until they heard the next words from Count Smith.

"Who's there to question us? King is on his deathbed, the prince is captured by rebels, and our royal family is done for so at least let's enjoy this last present," As soon as they heard those words, prevented smiles came onto their faces.

"Now that I think about it, she might be the most beautiful woman I have seen in my entire lifetime," Slowly getting close to her, everyone started to surround Julie like they were beasts waiting to hunt their prey.

'Nooo! Nooo! Why did I make the same mistake again? Why did I think they would listen to me when they are already this corrupted? I should run'

Julie tried to run away seeing their creepy faces, but soon everyone started to capture her and grab her toward the door.

"I have an idea, we will use her as much as want, we will take turns, when everything is over let's use her abuse as an excuse to seek more help,"

"Commoners will be shaken after they witness her body, I heard she's loved by most of the commoners so we will be able to divide the rebellion and attack them,"

Nobles started to form nefarious plans as they quickly used Julie's hand to open the emergency exit gate.

*Grrrrr

With a huge sound, it suddenly opened giving away the musky smell of dust and causing everyone to close their noses with uncomfortableness.

Julie couldn't help but feel like an idiot.

"So this is the punishment I get for being an idiot," She imagined her future where she becomes a plaything for this noble.

"I feel like puking,"

The gate opened with everyone happily smiling until it fully opened enough I see the inside.

"They really came, as expected of Miss Delviny, she knows how fools like them would play,"

The messenger girl who is under Naomi said to her team as she looked at everyone in the group until her eyes laid upon Julie who was just as surprised to see them.

"Oh my! Looks like your own people are turning on you, well what did I expect from you, I knew you were weak, to begin with, those ignorant eyes of yours sicken me, princess,"

Her words were harsh but Julie didn't feel offended, she knew deep inside her mind that she wasn't wrong.

"Shit! What are they doing here? Wasn't this supposed to be a secret tunnel?"

"Well, It doesn't matter either way, they are no match for our noble skills and mana, let's show them why we are called nobles,"

Everyone took their sword getting ready to fight with the assassin group while Julie sat with her eyes looking at the scene in front of her.

"Am I really going to be a princess from beginning to end? I want to become something more than princess even if have to go against my own father, I would build this kingdom for everyone's sake, for my brother's sake, and most of all for my sake,"

She smiled muttering those words to herself.

"I really am a selfish woman,"
