Two-Faced Princess

Caelion was staying in the guest room in the Emperor’s palace where only those people, who were close to the Emperor, were allowed entry.

As he accumulated achievements in the Royal Militia over and over, his rank also rose until he became a precious guest of the Royal Family.

Even if Caelion wasn’t present, Apollonia often visited the Emperor’s Palace since her father would never go there unless he had important guests.

The Emperor’s Palace also had a large library where she could read books about Military Law, Philosophy, and Politics in secret.

Every time she accidentally ran into someone, she would tell them that she was only reading romance novels that girls loved.

When Apollonia’s servant heard that Caelion had been away for a while, she instructed Uriel to visit him while she visited the library.

The moment she took a few of her favorite military books and sat in front of a desk at an empty corner, she suddenly heard a loud sound a few steps away from her;

*WOODANGTANG*

*PUCK*

“Ouch!”

When Apollonia glanced up, she saw Evangeline standing in front of her, dropping several thick books she had picked up from the shelves unto the table the same way she did.

She looked like she was in pain as if the corner of her book had hit the top of her foot, her leopard-like face crumpling like a surprised cat.

“What are you doing here?”

“Uh-oh! What are you doing here, princess?”

The two almost asked at the same time.

Evangeline looked perplexed when she saw her and Apollonia had the same reaction.

She didn’t want anyone else to know that she enjoyed reading military books in secret.

“I just came here to read some romance novels. ‘Like Your Lips’ is popular among noblewomen these days.” Apollonia smiled nonchalantly as she covered the book, ‘Military Code,’ with the said novel.

She deliberately approached the spot where Evangeline dropped her book to hide hers on the desk.

When Apollonia tried to help her pick up the fallen books, Evangeline shook both hands in refusal.

“Oh no! I’ll do it!”

She seemed to be trying too hard to prevent Apollonia from seeing the books she wanted to read.

“Do you read about Military Law or political books like me?”

Apollonia looked at the cover of the book she just picked up, thinking that they might have the same interest.

A few seconds later, Apollonia’s face burned with chagrin.

“Ten Kinds of Monsters and their Sexuality?”

“AH!” Evangeline screamed and stretched out her long arm to snatch the book Apollonia had in her hand. “This is for research purposes only!”

Shaking off the nasty image, Apollonia shook her head vigorously before picking up the book next to it.

The second book might turn out differently this time since Rajan’s princess just came out from a corner where the history books were placed.

However, another strange title was written on the cover of a silver book she was holding.

“The Mating Between a Jackalope and a Wolf: A Vivid Sighting.”

“No. That’s for research purposes as well.”

Once again, Evangeline snatched the book from Apollonia’s hand tearfully.

“How about the Orgy of Crows? Are they that obscene?”

“AHH!!!! NOOO!!!!”

“One thing these monsters have in common with humans is that… they have the most promiscuous way of mating.”

“Please give that to me!”

Every time Apollonia picked up a fallen book and gave it to her, Evangeline would scream while shaking her head.

Finally, when she handed over [Which Monsters Copulate 100 times a day?], Evangeline was almost sitting on the floor with unshed tears in her eyes.

“No, I mean——It’s not my taste. These books are not my taste at all.” She rambled excuses while picking them up. “This is all for research. There aren’t many books like these back in my Kingdom and I want to learn more about my pets.”

Apollonia nodded as she tried to erase the apprehension on her face.

Although the subject matter was all about mating, the books were all academic.

Apollonia heard that Rajan’s Princess was crazy about monsters, so that might be true.

“I heard that there is nothing you don’t know about monsters. You must be exhausted from what my brother did to you recently. However, your enthusiasm for learning is great.”

She meant it.

When Rajan’s Princess was taken as a prisoner, her status dropped to a position similar to an enemy general’s maidservant.

It was great that the first thing the princess did was study after she was well-rested.

Evangeline’s eyes widened from her compliment and blushed hard.

“Is your body alright? I heard that you got hurt a lot from the match.”

“I love to walk around. As long as I don’t break my bones, I think I’m alright.”

She was unlike anyone Apollonia had ever met.

Her boyish aura was similar to Tanya from Li Shan province, but just more intelligent and eccentric.

Even as they continued talking, Evangeline kept glancing at a book cover as if she couldn’t wait to read it.
