-But why does the hero chosen by the Goddess bow down to the royal family?
Lost amidst the flood of viewer comments, a certain viewer posed a question unnoticed by Han Se-ah.
They wondered why, in a world where the Goddess truly exists, the hero chosen by Her would bow before the royal authority.
Han Se-ah, who should have been answering, was too focused in the lavish treatment of the maids, melting into a puddle of relaxation, so I could only respond inwardly.
It's because the king is also chosen by the Goddess
The Divine Right of Kings
In this world, the political ideology that the king's power is granted by a divine entity, not by humans, was not just a concept to bolster royal authority, but a historical fact.
It was said that the Goddess, who created all life on this land, had bestowed a crown upon those among humans who possessed extraordinary talents.
I didnt know the truth of this land's history, but at least from the fact that the temple wasnt foaming at the mouth, declaring a holy war against the royalty, I could tell it was real.
These fanatics wouldnt tolerate using the Goddess for propaganda.
We shall escort you inside.
Do you have any luggage that needs to be carried?
If you are tired from your journey, we can prepare a bath for you.
In essence, if the hero is a grand general appointed by the Goddess, then the king is a leader appointed by Her.
According to the K-medieval fantasy common sense embedded in the game, swordsmen rank just a notch below leaders.
Since the temple publicly announced the hero's appointment by the Goddess, it was natural for the royal family, recognized by the Goddess, to verify such a hero.
And for Han Se-ah, the player, there seemed to be no complaints about such treatment.
-Why is the hero treated so well?
-They all melt with those expressions on their faces, its irresistible.
-While one hero gets massaged and bathed by maids, another carries a water jug from the Nakdong River*...
-The royal treatment for heroes here is quite impressive.
How many games were there where one is only superficially treated as a hero?The origin of this chapter's debut can be traced to N0v3l--B1n.
Starting with games where the world-saving hero is given a pittance and a twig to embark on their journey, to a great commander who has to chop wood in the mountains after a season change, to a world-saving hero carrying boxes in a general store, and to a protagonist with dragon blood getting beaten and arrested like a dog by a local guard.
Therefore, even though politically it appeared as bowing to the royal family, players like Han Se-ah and the viewers couldn't help but laugh at the genuinely royal treatment received.
Ah, ahh
Oh my, your back is quite tense. I guess its because youve been valiantly fighting the Demon King in the tower. I heard that mages tend to stiffen up from sitting at a desk for too long.
Ah, that spot-?
Yes, its okay. It might hurt a bit at first, but it will feel better soon.
-Isn't this a bit risky?
-If the stream gets suspended before showing the princess, Ill write Han Se-ahs name in my suicide note and jump.
-Now I see why massage streams are so popular.
-Going as far as exposing the back... well, we've probably already earned a warning.
-If were going to get suspended anyway, why not go all out?
I, I didnt expect this, a suspension? Am I going to get a warning, ah?! I dont know! Just look at Rolands face! I thought it would be a harmless, but this is seriously risky!
The scene captured by the camera said it all.
The women, led away in a different direction under the pretext of needing to unwind.
Roughly meaning its hard to milk donations with just maids.
Hey! How do you even interpret it that way?
Han Se-ah, who was concerned about her stream, was being mocked by her viewers.
They were just laughing, asking what she could possibly do if they genuinely enjoyed watching real maids.
Eventually, Han Se-ah had to accept it.
Isnt it the first generation of virtual reality games without fast-forward or skip functions?
Theres nothing to do but patiently wait for the princess's call.
Yet, the time spent waiting wasnt painful, so no one felt any dissatisfaction.
I, too, was able to enjoy some peaceful web surfing when Han Se-ah took the camera to explore the capital.
From preparing the bathwater to arranging meals, the maids took care of all the trivial tasks, allowing me to lie on a soft bed, surfing the web under the cool breeze of a magic tool.
This must be what a luxury hotel stay feels like.
Miss Hanna, the princess has said she would like to invite you and the heroes' party to dinner tomorrow evening. Shall I adjust your schedule?
No, tomorrow evening is fine.
Yes, understood.
However, this maid hell, where guests are kept forever, informed us on the third evening during dinner time.
The housekeeper approached us, making deliberate footsteps yet not moving her waist an inch, as if there were steel rods inside her dress.
If it werent for her apron, she might have been mistaken for the owner of this villa.
Her elegant and meticulous appearance sparked another pointless debate among the viewers.
-This is what a proper maid looks like.
-Sniff sniff, it smells of old age
-The kids are cute doing their thing, why try to undress them
-Because theyd look even cuter in different outfits.
-Sigh, there are too many friends who should be playing mobile gacha games instead of this VR game.
But if you're going to talk about short skirts and exposure, wouldnt it be better to look at different outfits? A maids uniform, after all, focuses on the black dress, white apron, and the cap they wear. If you're going to go for exposure with that outfit, well...
[Theory Master has donated 10,000 won!]
As expected, trust the expert!!!
[Maid Cafe Stamp Collector has donated 30,000 won!]
So you want to see an apron with exposure, you tasteless fool!
[Prefer Censored Over Uncensored has donated 20,000 won!]
It's more enticing when it's covered up. If you want exposure, go look at a nude collection.
Whether it's the Japanese-style moe transformation of the nerdy maid uniform that's preferred, or the traditional maid outfit with a dress and apron without exposure.
A discussion befitting the viewers who find happiness just watching Han Se-ah surrounded by maids, without any story progression.
In the midst of this, Han Se-ah, seeing an opportunity to rake in donations, cheekily joins in, ensuring the wait is anything but dull.

*The Nakdong River is one of the major rivers in South Korea, and mentioning it in this context suggests a more humble or basic way of living.
