Chapter 427: Chapter 302: I just want to say we are big fans of Sain_3

If it weren’t for my unique talent that makes me immune to mind control, I would’ve fallen for it long ago.

Selene had no choice but to pretend to be controlled and obediently went to the Royal City, living a life that everyone envied as a princess. She was a writer and had previously worked as a stage actress, fully understanding noble etiquette.

In her daily life at the Royal Palace, she was always on edge. She noticed that Liffis often had his eyes glow red toward others, but those around him seemed unaware.

It’s too terrifying. What kind of power is this? How many people has he controlled?

Thus, as an ordinary person, Selene chose to lie down flat. She also figured out Liffis’s plan, which was simply to wait until she became queen and use her to ascend to control the country. Since she couldn’t resist... then just don’t resist.

Of course, if the right conditions arose, she would try to struggle a bit.

Looking at the glamorous people, she sighed inwardly:

Ultimately, she still wanted to marry a tough guy like Ornstein or Artorias...

She was a big fan of the Sain Dungeon, loved all sorts of hero stories in it, and took a liking to Ornstein’s appearance at first glance.

Rather than being a puppet princess here, she’d rather let Ornstein kill her with a single thrust.

Selene was utterly bored and didn’t want to talk to people, so she reopened her auditory enhancement magic.

"Someone gave my father a gift the other day, guess what it was — a decoration from that Sain Dungeon. It’s hilarious, who would give something like that as a gift."

"Recently, a lot of Sain-related products have appeared on the market. I’m not interested, after all, they’re made by countryside workshops."

Selene listened as the noble ladies spoke disdainfully about the Sain Dungeon.

This group of horrible women was slandering Sain again!

She immediately clenched her fists. These noble ladies were sent by their parents to make a good impression on Selene, to show loyalty to Minister Oro and Liffis.

Wait a minute, Selene suddenly realized, doesn’t this mean they don’t dare offend me and have to follow my whims in everything?

Her lips curled into a smile as she stood up and walked toward them, intending to defend the Sain Dungeon.

The noble ladies saw Selene approaching them and promptly composed themselves, respectfully bowing.

"Princess, you..."

"You were just talking about the Sain Dungeon?"

The ladies exchanged glances, nodded one after another, and said, "Could it be that Your Highness also..."

"That’s right, I super— cough cough, I greatly admire that dungeon."

Realizing she almost lost composure, Selene quickly coughed.

Her sudden remark left the ladies speechless, unable to utter the words, "Could it be that Your Highness also dislikes Sain?" Their faces turned red from holding back.

Selene blinked and said, "Do you all like Sain too? I really want to chat with someone but haven’t found anyone who understands Sain."

Upon hearing this, the ladies recalled the task given by their parents to establish a good relationship with the princess, and hurriedly said:

"Yes, yes, I also like the Sain Dungeon."

"Not just like, I love Sain. People always give gifts from the Sain Dungeon to my family!"

"I’m a fan of the Sain Dungeon~"

Hooked.

Selene’s lips curved slightly as she clapped her hands and laughed: "That’s great! Finding so many fellow enthusiasts at once makes me so happy."

The noble ladies also smiled happily, unaware that the real hell was yet to come.

Selene posed a continuous stream of questions about Sain, and the ladies echoed her, cold sweat dripping down their faces because they knew nothing about it.

But the princess seemed to enjoy asking them related questions, forcing them to think hard for answers, each looking extremely awkward.

"By the way, I like the Platinum Son the most. It would be great if I could get a helmet that imitates his appearance." Selene said with feigned yearning.

Platinum Son? The name sounds impressive. Maybe it’s a knight-type monster in the Sain Dungeon?

One noble lady laughed: "Your Highness, my family is also involved in related industries. If you want, I can personally send it to you sometime?"

This cunning woman wanted alone time with the princess! The ladies were incensed at hearing this and couldn’t let themselves be outdone, so they all offered to send helmets of the Platinum Son.

"If you like, I can even wear the helmet and go see you!" Someone flattered.

"Really?" Selene’s eyes lit up, she said: "Actually, I know a bit about projection magic too. Why don’t you show us by wearing it now?"

Huh? What kind of request is that?

The noble lady who spoke those words was stunned for a moment, a complex array of thoughts running through her mind, and she eventually nodded reluctantly.

The name "Platinum Son" sounds quite impressive. His headpiece must be very handsome. As long as I can build a good relationship with the princess, wearing it would be worthwhile!

Then she watched as Selene pulled out a cute, chubby, big-eyed "Platinum Son" headpiece right on the spot.

"..."

The entire place fell silent.

"This, this is..."

The noble lady was almost in tears. What is this thing? How could it look so ugly!

"Come, put it on quickly. I almost drained my magic power making this," Selene said with a kind smile.

"I, I," the noble lady trembled all over. If I put this on publicly, won’t my life be over?

But you wouldn’t want the princess to dislike you, right?

"I’ll wear it!"

And thus appeared a "Platinum Son" in the crowd, so abruptly that even the musicians went off-key.

The young ladies showed an amazed expression, taking a step back one after another.

"Haha, you’re quite amusing, I admire you,"

Selene almost couldn’t hold back her smile. She patted the "Platinum Son" on the shoulder and said, "You must come to my afternoon tea party."

Does this count as building a good relationship with the princess?

The noble lady under the headpiece didn’t know whether to cry or laugh, but why does she feel like crying?

Charon, who was spying from the side, also couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat, thinking to himself that the princess was unexpectedly tricky.

However, I didn’t expect the princess to be so interested in Sain. I must seize this opportunity!

Just as Selene was about to take the young ladies to the garden to play headpiece hide-and-seek, Charon pretended to pass by the crowd, and a gilded Four Knights Under King medal fell out of his pocket.

"Sir, you dropped something."

Selene picked up the medal, and just one glance made her unable to look away.

"Sorry, Princess, forgive me for my carelessness," Charon apologized, pretending to be nervous, just meeting Selene’s shining eyes.

"Sir, where did you get this medal?"

"Oh, this? It’s the latest product from my family’s workshop. Are you interested?"

Selene looked surprised and said:

"Could it be, are you that Bed..."

"That’s right," Count Charon bowed and said with a smiling face, "Charon of the Bed family, at your service."

...

Soon after the banquet ended, the news that "Princess Selene likes Sain Dungeon" spread out.

Those nobles who wanted to build a good relationship with the princess started learning everything about Sain and competed to buy dungeon products.

Not long after, influenced by the nobles, people living in and around the Royal City began to follow the trend. Since the products of Sain Dungeon were all bought by the nobles, people targeted Sain’s surroundings, the most abundant of which were products from the Bed family.

Thus, the Bed family’s accumulated goods were quickly cleared, successfully opening a new market, and business was booming.

Also affected by this trend, those who want to earn noble money flooded into Sain Dungeon, which indirectly led to the Light Eagle Group’s base being overcrowded, forcing them to decide to relocate.

Even so, the teleportation gate near the Royal City was no longer enough, replicating the grand scene of people queuing to enter the dungeon.

The challenge numbers for Overlord Vonier surged, as a great noble put forth a huge reward for Vonier’s crown.

Yet even with the strategy published by the Skyrim Strategy Group, the vast majority were still unable to defeat Vonier; just collecting elf balls to capture rust monsters tripped up many.

The focus on Sain rose steadily in the Royal City, and naturally, the foremost Strategy Groups garnered attention.

According to an adventurer known as "Lion" Leon, they made a new discovery—

"How to enter Yilushier of the Cold Valley."
