10 – 10. An office is created (4)

“I don’t have any strength, so let’s just say it is. But, you could have gone to Leah or Lydia… .”

At her question, I forgot the taste of the apple I tasted a moment ago.

It’s coming.

It must have been enough to hurt the princess’s pride.

Because they were pushed to an underdeveloped place like Subangsa Temple.

However, I didn’t come here because I undervalued them.

‘Rather, that overwhelming power is burdensome!’

If you live under them, you will have to participate in the hellish competition for the throne again.

Many knights will die in the process.

I’m tired of that now.

Because I no longer want to see my colleagues who have been with me my whole life dying.

A long-awaited second life.

I want to live and die comfortably, even in a remote place.

That’s what I thought.

however… .

Irina is standing in front of me right now.

When I look at her, I feel a pang in my heart.

“There was no particular reason.”

Is it because of some affection?

“I just wanted to live quietly without any big troubles.”

I became honest without even realizing it.

“Quietly, no big deal… ?”

Irina’s pretty brow furrowed.

She placed her hand on her lips for a moment as if trying to understand what I meant.

‘You won’t understand.’

Originally, the princess was just a being who dealt with subordinates.

There is no way to know our position of being exploited.

but… .

After thinking about it, Irina gave an answer that was completely different from what I expected.

“I understand, your heart.”

Irina’s green eyes were filled with brilliance.

“Then… can you wait?”

She smiled.

Then he speaks seriously, placing his hand on his chest.

“I will create a knighthood strong enough for you not to worry.”

I think you completely misunderstood what I meant.

All I did was be as polite as possible and put up an iron wall.

It seems that the princesses were seen as lacking in me.

“When that time comes, you will become my knight… ?”

She smiles.

However, there was a subtle sadness mixed into that smile.

What should I do with this little girl?

I’m only 20 years old, so I don’t even know how to say things back.

Either that or… .

They might be deliberately playing psychological warfare to get me to promise them something.

“all right.”

I reluctantly agreed.

“Really? “Is that what you promised?”

“It’s true.”

A smile inevitably leaked out from her bright girl-like eyes.

It would be impossible to form a proper knight corps with her current abilities anyway.

Even if they come with a vague assortment, it’s okay if I reject them.

but… .

Irina was a princess who was more clever than I thought.

As if she had anticipated this whole situation, she took out a piece of paper from her pocket.

“Now, sign here.”

A contract written step by step in handwriting.

“When Irina builds an order of knights at a level acceptable to Bale, she appoints him as the leader of the order.”

“The level of the knights is judged by the General, Balderian, and if he is satisfied, Bale must fulfill the terms of the contract.”

When did you and Grandpa do anything again?

I read the crude contract slowly.

‘Fortunately, there doesn’t seem to be any other target.’

I calmly grabbed the quill.

And he coolly wrote his name in the autograph box.

“Okay, that’s it.”

The princess quickly took over the contract handed to her.

And then he rolled his blue eyes and looked intently at my sign.

Then he lowered the paper and asked if he found something strange.

“I… veil? “What is written under this sign?”

Irina points with her finger to the small phrase written under the sign.

“Oh, that? It’s no big deal. “It’s kind of my safety net.”

“However, even if Balderian is satisfied, if it appears insufficient in the eyes of Bale, this contract can be canceled at any time.”

The princess’s lips pout at my unexpected condition.

From noble mtl dot com

“This isn’t actually a rejection… ? “No matter what the status of the Knights Templar is, if you don’t like it, that’s okay.”

Her depressed face.

I smiled broadly at that face.

“It can’t be. Would I play a prank on Her Royal Highness? “I will join the Knights whenever they are well established.”

She narrowed her eyes and stared at me.

Then, he took a deep breath and smiled.

“okay… okay.”

The 2nd princess surprisingly easily agreed.

In the past, she was the type of person who would get what she wanted by thoroughly targeting it.

“I’m satisfied with this for now.”

Irina smiled while holding the contract.

Do I have the confidence to create an order of knights that will satisfy me unconditionally?

The corners of my mouth naturally rose at that cute confidence.

“Okay then, I’ll go now.”

The princess put on her white robe again.

“I think I took up too much of the driver’s time.”

And then I carefully put the contract I received into my pocket.

“I’ll take you to the front.”

We went down to the first floor of the building together.

Soon, the dark night street welcomed us.

This is especially dangerous because it is on the outskirts of the capital… .

You must be such an amazing royal family to think of coming to a place like this alone.

“I’ll call a carriage.”

“No, I’m used to going alone.”

Irina slightly lifted her robe and made eye contact with me.

And then he waved his hand lightly.

“Goodbye, Bale. “I’ll come again next time.”

“Please enter carefully.”

I greeted him with one arm crossed over my chest.

And I thought.

I hope she never makes a proper knighthood.

This is not for my comfort.

‘Because it’s for all of us.’

The moment she gained military power.

He will become the enemy of all royal families.

So please… .

I hope you don’t think about fighting them.

Because I never want to see her die again.

The sound of her footsteps moving away.

I waited until the footsteps disappeared.

Quiet night street.

Only the sound of my military boots resonates.

but.

Suddenly I realize that I am not alone on the street.

Because I could feel the energy of mana from afar.

It is also very well organized and powerful enough to be difficult to hide.

‘Have you been hiding it all this time?’

I turned my head towards the place where I could feel that energy.

A long row of street trees.

After looking at that place carefully, I finally found the source of the mana.

‘Up in the tree!’

I made eye contact with the purple eyes sitting on the branch.

That moment.

A hidden black silhouette suddenly rushed in front of me.

Faster than Richard.

In response, he immediately drew his sword.

And then I collide with that guy’s dagger.

“Who are you?”

Are they really mercenaries sent by Looper this time?

Flames rise from each other’s blades.

A log that is gradually pushed by force.

He backed away and at the same time threw several short knives.

 ̄ ̄ ̄!!

Concentrate mana into your arms.

And he resolutely swatted away the rushing blades.

The loud sound of blades falling on the floor.

When even the thrower didn’t work on him, he began to retreat hesitantly.

“Is that the unit price you want to show me?”

I dusted off my uniform sleeves.

Even though I dismissed it lightly, it doesn’t seem like I’m a beginner at all.

It didn’t seem like he had any intention of killing me, and he even showed the composure to avoid the critical spot.

Looper, you bastard.

Were you planning on catching me and threatening me?

If you come out like this from day one… .

‘Thank you so much!’

Contracting to threaten is a serious crime.

If you catch Looper’s weakness with this, you can reign like a king in Subangsa Temple for the rest of your life.

Just thinking about it makes my mouth water at the fascinating life of a knight.

“You’re a contractor, right? It’s okay, I won’t catch you!”

I approached him with as harmless an expression as possible.

“Why are you here now? “How long have I waited?”

The assassin frowned at my changed attitude.

Usually, when you see yourself, you tend to beg for your life.

It seems the sight of them welcoming me back was bizarre.

Soon the guy turned his head.

And begins to run away at high speed.

“Uh… Why are you running away? “Let’s talk for a moment!”

A log hurriedly climbs up a street tree.

He quickly ran away like an Eastern ninja.

Each time it stretches its long legs, it moves to a different tree.

I couldn’t help but laugh at that amazing speed.

However, I am not giving up here either.

No, you can’t!

How could you miss this golden opportunity?

I started chasing him, concentrating all my strength on my legs.

Even though I don’t have the talent to climb trees, my legs are strong.

“You have to catch me, right? “That’s what I came here for!”

However, the guy didn’t care.

He came down from the tree again and hid in the back alley.

I turned the corner after him.

Even if you can’t see him right away, he pursues you tenaciously.

If he jumps over the fence, I have to crawl up.

If you climb a building, it will chase you even if you turn around.

The result of such constant tracking.

He ended up reaching a completely dead end.

“ha… It’s so fast, really… .”

I took a deep breath and blocked the escape route.

“Did you think a knight wouldn’t be able to chase you?”

The masked assassin took a step back as he saw me getting closer.

However, no matter how hard you try, it is a dead end wall.

“It’s okay, it’s okay. “I won’t hit you.”

I confidently walk towards him.

“Just tell me who’s behind it and I’ll let you go. “This is real.”

As the distance got closer, he took out a dagger.

As if they were trying to somehow hide their affiliation.

That sight stimulated my curiosity even more.

As he approached, Rogue swung his dagger.

However, I did not dodge his sword.

Instead, I focused my mana on my arm and took his sword alive.

“With your arm and your sword… !”

The guy’s purple eyes widen as he sees this for the first time in his life.

In the meantime, I grabbed his wrist.

And in order to capture them alive, they threw them down just as they were captured.

However, this time it was my turn to be surprised.

The moment the guy falls to the floor.

Because he moved his slim waist like a snake and escaped my grasp.

As he escaped, he pulled out a black sphere.

Then throw it hard on the floor and explode.

‘smoke shell… !’

Suddenly my entire vision is obscured.

I hurriedly covered my mouth with my sleeve and hurriedly traced the guy’s silhouette.

Is it because I was cornered?

Unlike when I first saw him, his mana became very unstable.

Thanks to this, the irregular waves can be slightly felt even in the fog.

I looked somewhere else for a moment, pretending I couldn’t see.

And the moment he sneaks past me.

I immediately grabbed his face.

“I finally got it.”

The face he grabbed was slammed into the wall.

 ̄ ̄ ̄!

A plosive sound strong enough to cave in the walls.

Even a decent knight would have fainted at this level.

I pulled the captor away from the wall.

Now, shall we open it?

A gift sent to me by Senior Looper.

I pulled him towards me to check his face.

And the moment the mask was taken down.

I looked dumbfounded for a moment.

White skin showing through the loose mask.

It was too soft to be considered a rugged assassin.

‘Female assassin… ?’

Soon, purple eyes were revealed.

Long eyelashes and feminine eyes.

Looking closely, the body is as slim as an hourglass and the wrists are also delicate.

The vicious assassin of my imagination was nowhere to be found.
