Became the Escort Knight That the Princesses Were Obsessed With

28 – 28. Eastern Knights (5)

“All right.”

I eventually agreed to the princess’s proposal.

Then, he took a deep breath while fumbling with his uniform jacket.

“Did you just sigh?”

Lydia asks with a sullen expression.

I answered her with a smile.

“no. “I breathed a sigh of relief because my workload was reduced.”

“Isn’t that right? “If you become a knight of this body, you will have many such privileges.”

I complimented her without even realizing it, and Lydia straightened her nose.

‘He definitely has the ability.’

I tried to pass it off as patrol work.

I never thought they would dispatch the Eastern Knights to the North.

The scale is definitely different.

“I’m ready.”

I said as I locked the office door.

Then Lydia leisurely walked toward the carriage, putting her back behind her.

“Okay then, let’s go straight to my main palace.”

A brisk step.

However, she soon stopped walking.

“That might be a bit difficult.”

Because I stubbornly stood in the way.

“Again, why? “You never take my words easily!”

Is it because everything in his life worked out the way he wanted?

Lydia stared at me with a sullen expression.

‘You can’t just accept it obediently.’

It takes almost two hours to travel from the east to the north and back.

Moreover, given Lydia’s personality, she would be dragged around the palace to show off… .

To prevent this, the luncheon must be completed in my area.

“I have to report to General Balderian by 5 o’clock, but time is running out when I return from the East.”

Balderian.

The general of the current empire and the hero who raised the six knight commanders.

He is famous for being strict with his work.

With a general like that in front of you, you take away the knight in charge of patrolling the north?

That’s ridiculous.

Balderian, regardless of whether he is a member of the royal family or a noble family, bites the bullet to the end whenever something absurd occurs.

This is the reason why upper-class children have so far avoided being assigned to Subangsa.

“Okay… Grandpa is a bit picky… .”

You call the general your grandfather… .

Lydia would be the only person like that.

Lydia was lost in thought, pressing her lips with the back of her hand.

I decided to dive straight into her complex head.

“Then how about this?”

The attention of the secretary and the princess is focused on my sudden proposal.

From noble mtl dot com

In response, I pointed to the vast northern city visible outside the window.

“You are having luncheon at Northon.”

The princess’s luncheon in a city full of commoners?

The secretary heard those words and firmly shook his head.

“It’s not possible. “I can’t believe we are treating Her Majesty the Princess in the northern part of the country, where security is already so bad.”

He raised his monocle and glared at me.

“I am against it.”

I looked at her in a more relaxed manner while she was worried.

Because here, the princess has only two options.

I asked Balderian if he would have lunch with me, but was turned down altogether.

At least go downtown and have a short meal together.

Lydia’s answer is probably already predetermined.

Even if it could be rejected, I would still go to request Balderian.

This is a person who has enjoyed the chef’s cooking in fancy restaurants all his life.

Then, you will be rejected like a knife and this situation can be resolved neatly.

but… .

The answer she received was completely unexpected.

“Ok, fine.”

Perfect positivity.

“The market sounds fun, right?”

The freewheeling nature manifested itself rather strangely.

At that sight, the faces of the secretary and me both distorted.

“ha… .”

Especially the middle-aged wizard who is responsible for her security.

The veteran secretary had a complex expression.

“As the princess of the empire, shouldn’t you be familiar with the lives of the common people?”

She is so amazing in a strange way.

“This is also the role of the monarch. “I will do my best as Bale says.”

He quoted exactly what I said and smiled like a devil.

She smoothed out the hem of her skirt that was sticking to her buttocks while sitting.

And then he confidently got into the carriage.

“… .”

I watched it indifferently.

Then Lydia peeked out from inside the carriage.

She asked, tilting her head.

“What are you doing? Don’t get on it.”

“How could a knight ride in the same carriage as Her Royal Highness?”

The secretary also had a stern expression on his face, as if he couldn’t allow this to happen.

However, the 3rd princess smiled and patted the seat next to her.

“Aren’t you going to show me the way if we go together?”

“Then, let me borrow a horse separately.”

I was going to go to the building next door to rent a jeonseogu.

However, Lydia pressed me with a calm expression.

“A guy who doesn’t have time, at what time is he going to talk to me? It’s okay, so hurry up and get on.”

The princess looked at the secretary carefully and said.

As a result, he eventually kept his mouth shut.

“… .”

I had no choice but to head to the carriage.

For the first time in a long time, I almost got my head caught in a carriage.

The Third Princess looked up with red eyes.

“Why are you doing that?”

“no… “It’s surprising that you’re taller than I thought.”

It is small compared to the average of the Eastern Knights.

I didn’t think it was a big deal and sat down across from the princess.

A carriage that gradually increases its speed.

Indeed, there was no shaking at all even at high speeds.

“how is it? “As a commoner, this must be your first time riding something like this, right?”

Lydia spoke excitedly, as if bragging.

However, my expression is sour.

Seeing that expression, Lydia pursed her lips and asked.

“what… “Aren’t you surprised after riding the imperial carriage?”

“No, it was so cool that I was just mesmerized for a moment.”

Of course, it’s a lie.

It’s just that I got sick of it because I got sick of it in the past when I was escorting Irina.

“yes-? Opportunities like this are rare, so enjoy them to the fullest.”

“yes… All right.”

Lydia raised her face proudly.

She immediately rolled her eyes and looked at my scar on my forehead.

Is it because I came here from farming?

I forgot to keep one side of my bangs.

Thanks to this, the scar on my forehead was slightly revealed.

“Oh, it’s no big deal. “It’s a wound I received from a subjugation mission before I became an official knight.”

“Dispatch for subjugation… ?”

“Yes, it was a mission to subdue the Thorman clan living in the northern mountainous region.”

The princess’s lips parted as if she knew their names.

“I’ve heard of it. “They said they keep coming down from the mountains and exploiting the northern citizens.”

“Yes, it is a wound caused by splinters from the fight with their chief.”

I told him not to worry and lowered my bangs.

However, the princess looked calmly at the potentially disgusting scar.

“You worked quite hard.”

“After all, I am a commoner. In order to compete with prestigious universities, the only way was to achieve excellent grades in this way.”

I hinted at a memory from a past time.

Then Lydia listened happily, but then suddenly looked puzzled.

“okay? “You worked so hard to become an excellent student, but why did you refuse to be the princess’s escort?”

‘ah.’

Is it because I only saw her as a very immature girl?

I never imagined that Lydia would dig in so persistently.

I quickly shook my head.

And then I hurriedly spit out the words that came to mind.

“It’s also thanks to my experience in subjugation.”

“It’s a lesson… ?”

Lydia placed her hand on her chin, looking intrigued.

“Even if you go to the imperial family, there are very few great people who can threaten the royal family. “The guards of our empire are famous for being strong.”

He sings praises to the imperial family and his escorts.

And at the same time… .

“However, the empire has a very large territory.”

“And the various victims I saw at the dispatch site. A child crying while holding his parents’ corpse. Even the old mother who lost her son.”

“I thought that the place that needs the knight’s help the most right now is not the imperial family, but the ‘country’ itself.”

He said he wanted to work hard for his country.

At those words, the princess narrowed her eyes.

“If you become a civil servant, you can move the National Guard. “Unlike escort knights, we can deploy troops directly to troubled areas.”

I spent the night with a satisfied comment.

Fortunately, the princess also cleared her suspicious eyes and put a smile on her face.

“That’s fun.”

Lydia crossed her legs.

Then, she gently lowered the hem of her skirt with her finger and said.

“Bale, you are definitely different from those kids who only imitate knights.”

The princess immediately stretched out her hand.

And then I gently placed it on my bangs.

“I will definitely remember that I will live for the country, not for individuals.”

The princess’s eyes got closer.

The white fluff that is still stuck on the pale face catches my eye.

“And when I became this country itself. “I will have you.”

She took down my bangs and covered the wound.

Don’t let other royal family members see it.

“Hmm.”

Is it because we have become closer to each other?

The secretary cleared his throat harshly.

“Her Royal Highness, we have arrived in the city.”

“okay… Let’s take a look. “This place was confidently suggested to me, so of course the taste would be great, right?”

Lydia turned her head and pretended to look out the window.

“of course.”

The speed of the carriage gradually began to decrease.

He proudly crossed Northon Market as if everyone could see him.

Thanks to this, the citizens’ attention was focused on the gorgeous imperial carriage.

A situation where everyone clearly knows that the royal family is inside.

Citizens all stopped their actions and were busy bowing their heads.

“It would be better to get off here and go.”

The secretary, who was listening, firmly shook his head at my words.

“Do you mean to take Her Highness the Princess into the city alone without a carriage?”

Of course, the carriage has a protection spell, so it is safe.

However, such a flashy appearance attracts attention and is therefore more dangerous.

“These fancy carriages are dangerous because they can be identified.”

I calmly persuaded the secretary.

“The commoners of the North will not know the face of the Third Princess anyway, so it would be safer to naturally assimilate to them.”

Lydia likes stylish skirts more than her usual dresses.

Thanks to this, even if you walk around the market, you will look like a cute young lady who is sensitive to trends.

“greatness… .”

However, the secretary-general has not yet fully accepted it.

I dealt him the final blow with a sly voice.

“Besides, isn’t there an imperial mage and veteran secretary by her side, Her Majesty?”

Even enemies who hate me praise me.

The secretary cleared his throat at such flexible persuasion.

“Okay, you and Veil are there, so what are you worried about? Besides, the Eastern Knights are already coming here.”

The secretary was dissatisfied with the schedule, which was so different from usual.

However, the princess’s words are absolute law to him.

In the end, he agreed and opened the carriage door.

Lydia got out of the carriage, the hem of her skirt fluttering.

And then, with his back to me, he tilted his head towards me.

“Besides, if a problem arises, our defense engineer will take responsibility.”

Her easy-going words sent shivers down my spine.

The 3rd princess left those words behind and leisurely looked around the market.

So many commoners.

And maybe it’s because it’s my first time seeing it up close.

Everything she saw was amazing.

‘It’ll be okay, but this is my area.’

Results of several patrols.

There have been no major incidents yet.

So, no matter how wealthy a lady appears to be, there is no reason for anyone to touch her… .

While I was thinking so.

The sound of something breaking woke me up.

“Her Royal Highness, are you okay?”

The secretary who makes a fuss.

Thanks to this, everyone’s eyes are focused on us.

I quickly turned my head and looked at the source of the sound.

“this… .”

Lydia was walking leisurely.

She bumped into a girl coming out of the corner.

However, it wasn’t just a collision.

A lot of sticky drink stains on her stylish dress.

The girl was delivering drinks when she bumped into Lydia and knocked her over.

“… .”

The 3rd princess’s eyes become harsh.

She looked down at the girl with dead, unfocused eyes.

“Sorry… I was in a hurry because the delivery was late…”

The girl looked up at the princess and trembled in fear.
