Many thanks to those who read and reviewed this fic. I am really happy and this inspired me to bring in the next chapter, and here a new character is introduced, and Naegi's remaining stay in Novoselic is going to be a bit...tenseful...
Will he succeed...?
Well, read on and enjoy!
Ch. 35: Sōri daijin
Elsewhere within the castle, the King and Queen went to the meeting room to have a closed-door meeting as it involves national security, and they instructed the staff not to interrupt unless there is an emergency of sorts, and thus the two, along with the royal advisor and the royal PR, are under closed-door meeting and have no idea about the events that would transpire next.
The royal PR and the royal advisor whispered among themselves, with the royal PR asking if this is okay about this closed-door meeting, worried that the chancellor might pick on Naegi and Sonia might blow a fuse if she caught him again, but the royal Advisor assured that it won't happened as the king gave the chancellor a very stern warning and thus the chancellor will definitely leave Naegi alone.
"You think the chancellor will leave that boy alone?"
"He will."
"How can you be sure?"
"The king warned him, and if the chancellor does it again, he will be fired."
"Really?"
"Yes."
"I hope so."
"Let's keep our fingers crossed..."

Meanwhile, Sonia discreetly left the guest room after making sure that no one is around as she walked towards her room, as she is a bit wobbly as her body is still adjusting its pace after the long sex she had with Naegi, yet she enjoyed it as she is definitely in love with him and is glad to give herself to him and not to some male royalty who only thinks of his ego.
As Sonia safely went to her room to take a shower so as to eradicate the scent of sex she had with Naegi, the scene shifts at the guest room where Naegi took a shower, and the room was filled with a scent of air freshener spray so as to kill off the scent of sex, and while showering, Naegi was still in a daze as he could not believe he had sex with a girl, let alone a European princess, yet he appeared happy as he found someone sharing his love, but then wondered where this would lead to, as he is due to leave in a few days, and is unaware that King Nevermind intend to extend the boy's stay for another week.
At the lobby of the palace, the staff and servants stared in surprise at seeing who just arrived, who turns out to be none other than the Prime Minister of Novoselic, and some of the royal maids glared at him in secret when he is not looking, as it turns out that the prime minister is the uncle of Prince Charming, and the maids have a feeling that trouble is already underway, guessing the reason the prime minister came to the palace.
"It's him..."
"The prime minister..."
"Yeah...he's the uncle of Prince Charming."
"Why is he here?"
"I bet he came here to harass Princess Sonia's friend..."
"Maybe we should inform the princess..."
"That would be better...the prime minister would shoot down anyone who pose a threat to Charming..."
"Shh...here he comes..."
The prime minister asked where the king and queen are, in which they told him that the king and queen are currently in a closed-door meeting, and the prime minister nodded when he asked where Sonia is, and upon being told that she is currently resting, the prime minister nodded as he asked the staff member to take him to where the chancellor is.
Upon arriving, he is rather surprised to see the chancellor sitting on a chair, his face bandaged and wearing a neck brace, and after being told of what happened, the prime minister promised prompt action and asked for the description of Naegi, even though he has seen his face on social media after seeing the trending pictures of the events on last night's royal ball.
After hearing the chancellor's complaints, the prime minister assured that he will take action against Naegi, as it turns out that he too disliked people who are social and financially beneath him, and tells the chancellor that he finds Naegi socially DISTASTEFUL to his standards and he will see to it that the Luckster will leave Novoselic on his own accord that even the king and Sonia would be powerless to do anything.
"Do not worry..."
"I have the right to be worried! That Japanese boy has won the support of the royal family! He even corrupted the princess!"
"Calm yourself, chancellor..."
"But..."
"Leave it to me. I will deal with that Asian gold digger."
"Really?"
"Of course."
"Thank you, prime minister!"
By then Prince Charming came and he ran towards the prime minister like a whining kid, and it is revealed that he is the prime minister's nephew, and there Charming told the prime minister in an exaggerated way about how he got humiliated, and the prime minister promised that prompt action will be taken.
"Do not worry..."
"But...uncle...please! I have the right to be worried! That Japanese boy has won the support of the royal family! He even corrupted the princess...and he has an army of bears at his disposal! I nearly lost my life!"
"Calm yourself, my nephew..."
"But..."
"Leave it to me. I will deal with that Asian gold digger."
"Really?"
"Of course."
"Thank you, uncle! Please make that brat go away!"

Much later, Naegi is seen walking the corridors of the palace, looking for a plugging outlet as he intend to recharge his PS Vita, and once he found one he immediately charged his gadget and wait for it to be fully charged, and by then a visitor arrived, who turns out to be the chieftain of a Samoan community stationed at a village within Novoselic, and he greeted Naegi.
As Naegi greeted him in reply, the chieftain said that he saw the events of last night's royal ball and admitted that he is impressed at how he carried himself despite having detractors, yet Naegi is modest and assured that he has no detractors, even though he already got one in the form of the chancellor and Prince Charming.
"Young boy...I am impressed that you kept your cool throughout the ball..."
"Um...well..."
"You sure know how to deal with detractors."
"No...I don't really have..."
"No need to hide it. You have the right to defend yourself...do not let others bully you."
"..."
"Just remain humble and something good will happen."
"..."
The Samoan chieftain chuckled and told Naegi he doesn't need to hide it and assured to him that the boy's detractors will not win and encouraged the SHSL Luckster to behave well and he will be rewarded in good kind, and even more blessings would come if he continued to be humble.
After that the chieftain left as he intend to meet up with King Nevermind, and Naegi is left alone and continued to watch his PS Vita charging, in which the prime minister arrived, and his eyes stared maliciously towards the boy and approached him before introducing himself to Naegi, and while the Luckster showed courtesy, the prime minister discreetly asked Naegi what is his purpose in coming here at the palace, and if he intend to woo Sonia.
It did not take long for Naegi to guess that the prime minister having the same attitude as the chancellor, but he answered honestly, telling him the reason why he is here at Novoselic, but the prime minister did not take the Luckster's word for it and discreetly attempted to intimidate the teen boy by insinuating that he intend to SEDUCE Sonia into bringing him here at the palace, yet Naegi maintained his stance and said that Sonia invited him here, but is rudely rebuked.
"You have the wrong idea, sir..."
"Lying is useless, boy."
"What?"
"You duped the princess into inviting you here...then seduce her and now you intend to impregnate her so that you can use itnas leverage in order to..."
"That's a low blow sir. I have no intention if doing that."
"Really...?"
"I'm afraid I may ask you to leave me alone. If you intend to harass me..."
"Looks like your true colors have shown."
Bad luck struck Naegi, however, as the chancellor came and began to harass the Luckster, while telling the prime minister that Naegi intend to usurp the throne and trick Sonia into making him part of the royal family so he can steal the riches of the king and queen.
To add insult, the prime minister readily agreed with the chancellor in a discreet way, and is considering in having Naegi detained for questioning, much to the chancellor's enthusiasm.
"YES SIR!"
"YES SIR!"
"YES SIR!"
"YES SIR!"
"YES SIR!"
"YES SIR!"
"YES SIR!"
"YES SIR!"
However, Naegi calmly answered back saying he is behaving well and that the accusation hurled by the chancellor are due to the paranoia that the chancellor displayed, which happened ever since the Luckster came to the palace, and pointed out that the chancellor has been harassing him at every opportunity, even at recent royal ball.
As proven by Naegi, the chancellor underwent another exaggerated ranting and accuses Naegi of discreetly trying to assert himself within the palace, and the prime minister pretended to calm down the chancellor and REASONABLY tells Naegi that out of security concern he has to be detained for interrogation and this would commence right away.
"Out of security concern...and out of FAIRNESS...I'm afraid I may have to put you under detention..."
"What for?"
"The accusations against you have merit."
"Are you..."
"I find it suspicious...but depending on the interrogation...if you are innocent, then you will be set free...but if the accusations have merit and proven..."
"You're just like the chancellor, sir. You look down on me because I am just an ordinary boy who is not within the upper middle-class..."
"A charge is a charge...no exceptions. You are hereby..."
"Do not force me to defend myself against the likes of you, sir...
Two of the royal maids were discreetly watching the scene and realized that the prime minister is siding with the chancellor and is using the opportunity to harass Naegi and now he is using his position to detain the boy for such shallow reasons and the two maids agreed that Sonia must be informed at once before the Luckster is unjustly taken away by the prime minister.
"Look at him..."
"The prime minister..."
"Yeah...he's harassing that boy."
"No...he is using his position to detain that boy."
"But he is Princess Sonia's visitor...why would...oh no...he intend to have him secretly deport from our country..."
"I think we should inform the princess..."
"It would be better if we inform the king...the prime minister would shoot down anyone who pose a threat to Charming..."
"We got to..."
The maids are about to secretly take their leaves to inform Sonia, but the chancellor showed up and ordered them to do an errand, telling them to buy medicines for Prince Charming. The maids tried to stall the chancellor so that one of them would sneak away to tell Sonia, but the chancellor uses his position to threaten the maids into getting fired if they do not do as told.
The maids are in a bind, and were forced to do as told.
"YES SIR!"
"YES SIR!"
"YES SIR!"
"YES SIR!"
"YES SIR!"
"YES SIR!"
"YES SIR!"
"YES SIR!"
As the two maids left, the chancellor smirked wickedly as there is no one around to stop the prime minister from ejecting Naegi from the palace, and joins the prime minister as he called for the guards to have Naegi arrested, and there some guards, who appeared neutral, and seemingly unaware of Naegi's plight, were told to have him taken to the police for POSSIBLE INSURRECTION and SEDITION, and the guards seemingly obliges, as they are merely following orders since the prime minister is the only official available.
Naegi protested saying that he has done nothing wrong and not caused any disturbance, but the two guards said that they are merely following orders.
"Sorry...nothing personal."
"We are just obeying orders..."
"SO YOU'RE ARRESTING ME FOR A CRIME I DID NOT COMMIT?!"
"The prime minister is the official here right now."
"The charges against you is something we cannot overlook."
"WHAT CHARGES?!"
"So sorry...but assume the position."
"We are just following orders."
"..."
Another pair of royal maids happened to witness the scene in secret, and sneaked out of sight as they head for Sonia's room to inform her of what is happening. They could not believe that even the prime minister has joined the chancellor in harassing Naegi and now the two men are taking advantage of the king and queen's absence so that they will eject the boy out of the castle with no interference.
The maids feared that Sonia would lose her composure and go all-out, but agreed that this is the only way to teach the two men a lesson so that they would think twice before attempting to intimidate Naegi once more.
"Oh no!"
"Those fools!"
"We got to tell Princess Sonia about this!"
"Yes...she must be informed!"
"She might blow a fuse and go violent..."
"That may be the only way to teach them a lesson..."
"We better hurry..."
"Right..."
The two maids arrived at Sonia's room, but after knocking the door and getting no response, the maids entered, and are dismayed that she is not inside her room, and wondered where the princess went, worried that the chancellor and the prime minister would succeed in forcing Naegi out of the palace unjustly.
