Raised in Dungeon



"Eldritch will become king?"

ƥαṇdα- ηθνε|·ƈθm Eldritch's party, which consisted of the adfeqtus reliqua he had obtained in the dungeon, was now gathered in the opulent palace dining room. The table was adorned with an array of dishes, tantalizing to both the eye and the nose; all these weapons were eating surprisingly gracefully. Two of them had control over the wind spirit; they wielded their powers over the gusts, causing the plates, food, and glass to dance delicately in the air, and fly to them. All of them were adfeqtus reliqua, except for one person, an other-worlder.

"Jihye, why are you surprised? Of course Master will become this kingdom's king, the crown prince after all. This day has been determined since he was born," Denia said.

"Jihye... beautiful... but... stupid..." utter Guiltia.

"Hohoho, if I'm not mistaken, we already told her that our master is the prince of this kingdom," said Crestfarren.

"I KNEW THAT! What surprises me is that the inauguration is a week away. I didn't expect things to go so fast," said Jih-ye.

Nam Jihye, was an other-worlder brought by Eldritch when he happened to find her in the middle of his adventure.

"That shouldn't be surprising news. The king's condition was already unwell. In fact, just a week ago, someone attempted to kidnap him. Fortunately, our arrival prevented the king from falling victim to the attempt. Without our intervention, the king would surely have perished, leaving a sudden vacancy on the throne. Master really came up with surprising timing for everyone," said Howl.

"It's not that the king will die anytime soon; it's just that he's at an age where he can't fight back," Crestfaren explained.

"Ugh... I don't like this kind of royal family's thing. I feel like I shouldn't have to know so much about the troubles in this world. I want to stop being associated with Eldritch immediately and go to a remote village and open a restaurant instead!"

"You should be grateful Eldritch-boy picked you up. Do you think other-worlders can survive well in this world? Since you have no nationality, you're very good prey for slavery. Not to mention that your black hair will have a high price," Destroia said.

"You don't have to say that! I'm grateful enough to suddenly appear in a river where a handsome prince is bathing," Ji-hye replied with a giggle. Because she kept getting scolded and made fun of, she tried to fight Destroia back.

"AAARGH! Don't mention that again in front of me, you pervert! Don't you ever think that it was a meeting of fate or something!"

The dining room door swung open with a creak.

Eldritch comes inside. He was resplendent in his official clothes, intricately designed and made from luxurious materials. Eldritch's clothes were a reflection of his position of power. As a prince, he was expected to dress in a manner that conveyed his status and command, and his official attire did just that. Every detail spoke of his elevated position in society, from the layers of his robes to the opulence of his adornments. The thick fabric of his robes hung heavily from his broad shoulders, embellished with precious stones and intricate embroidery, showcasing his status and wealth.

"What are you doing, get ready," Eldritch commanded, his deep voice carrying authority. Two maids stood dutifully behind him, ready to attend to his every whim. With a subtle hand signal, he beckoned them to enter the room and assist in doing something.

"Pardon our intrusion," said the maid. They geld Jihye's hand, then pulled her out.

"Eh? What's wrong?"

"You will be taken care of by these two maids."

"Eeeeh?! Wait! I haven't finished eating yet!"

As for the Eldritch relics, they instantly changed their clothes with mana, match Eldritch's clothes.

"Let's go."

...

Inside the dressing room, Jihye struggled with the two maids, who continued to dress her roughly.

"Ouch! That's hurt!"

"Please bear with it."

"You need plenty of things to improve your elegance."

A month ago, Jihye suddenly arrived in this world, and the first thing she saw was Eldritch bathing in one of the secluded hot springs.

Confused by the situation, she could not leave there right away. Eldritch was the only person she could see, so she simply turned around and asked him what was happening.

Eldritch understood what had happened to Jihye and continued the bath without caring about Jihye behind him. He explained to Jihye the situation she was going through. About the other-worlders, the angels, and where she was now.

Since the place where she appeared was very scary, she asked Eldritch to at least take her out of that place, and Eldritch easily agreed. But after they got out and reached the settlement, it turned out that Eldritch was still carrying her and ended up reaching the palace.

'I've been with him for a month. At least I know what kind of person he is. He is sure handsome—more handsome than my idol oppa. But he is cold, and I could sense many redflag if I stayed with him for long. He has great power—great enough that even without him moving, he can solve many problems. But he still doesn't use it to help people. He doesn't care about people, and doesn't care about the problems happening around him,' Jihye thought.

'Then, why did she choose to bring me here? Eldritch is not the type to help others. It wouldn't be strange if he left me alone when I first came to this world,'

After much thought, the maid finished putting on her dress without realizing it. She was now unaware of the stunning transformation she had undergone. Looking at herself in the mirror, she was taken aback by the European-style dress that adorned her body. The intricate detailing on the dress amazed her, leaving her in awe of its beauty.ραпdα `nᴏνɐ| сom

Jihye's dress, typical of those worn during the middle ages, was made up of several layers. The inner layer was a plain, linen chemise dress that came up to her ankles and had long sleeves. On top of this, Jihye wore a dress known as a surcoat, which was open at the sides and buttoned along the front. The surcoat was made of wool or silk, with elaborate embroidered designs. Her dress was cinched at the waist with a leather belt, and she wore a pair of leather shoes that were tied with laces. The final touch to Jihye's outfit was her headwear, which consisted of a wimple and a fillet.

Jihye smiled to herself as she admired her reflection, feeling as if she had stepped back in time

"You are very beautiful."

"As expected, the other-worlder's dark hair matches this dress perfectly."

"Beautiful," Jihye said to herself as she turned slightly, looking at the details of her dress.

'But the design is different from the manhwa I usually read—not that detailed but still historical. That means it's probably from an older era than the fantasy isekai I usually read. But as far as I know, if time goes back further, sanitary items like soap and shampoo should not have been invented yet, but they have. Well… maybe I shouldn't think about it. This is isekai after all.'

And when she saw how beautiful she looked in the mirror, she immediately realized something.

'OH NO! Maybe Eldritch brought me here because he's in love with me and loves me at first sight! AAARGH! That could be it!'

Try to deny it; she shook her head and said, "N-no, there's no way such a thing happened; there's no way such a manhwa plot would suddenly come to me."

"What is it, lady?" asked the maid.

"Ah nothing! Thank you for helping me. What should I do now?"

The door to the room opened. Outside the door stood two twin teenage girls with short pink hair, holding a bouquet of lilies. They wore dresses similar to the one Jihye wore but simpler and shorter.

As soon as Jihye saw them, they began to bow and say,

"Miss Nam Jihye, we have come to escort you to the inauguration room. His Highness is already waiting for you."

"Ah b-well… okay!"

'What the hell is this?! Why do I feel like I'm getting married?!'

The twin girls walked before Jihye, escorting her to the inauguration place. After walking a few meters away, she finally arrived in front of a large door that looked more conspicuous than the rest. She was sure that this was her destination.

"Hmm? Where is Eldritch?"

'I thought he would stand before the door waiting for me!'

"Already done? Good." Eldritch suddenly appeared behind Jihye; then he offered his hand.

"Hmm?"

"Why did you silent? Hug my hand."

"Eh? How so?"

Consumed by Eldritch's intimidation, Jihye could not help but obey his orders. She quickly embraced Eldritch's left hand.

'Sh*t! What the hell! Why do I have to do this?!"

The large door opened. A very bright and dazzling light came out of there. And a shouting voice was heard.

"The crown prince, Eldritch Odelina Wildenhall! Together with his future empress, Nam Jihye! Enter the chamber!"

'HMMMMMM?!!!!'

'Didn't I hear it wrong? Future of what?!'

"Don't forget to smile," Without Eldritch telling her to do it, smiling was the easiest way to hide her surprise.

"I demand you for a veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeery long explanation later, YOUR HIGHNESS."

They began to step into the room on the red carpet, followed by the two twins holding flowers behind them.
