29 – 29. Eastern Knights (6)

The secretary and I approached the princess.

Thanks to this, Lydia’s wet skirt becomes even more visible.

However, the important thing was not the dirty clothes.

Bloody red eyes without focus.

Even knights who are much taller than themselves.

She was the one who mercilessly struck down those who went against her will.

But a mere commoner girl committed a rude behavior.

There is no way the princess will let this go easily.

“How dare you… .”

warble.

Just by looking at him, you can feel that he is very angry.

Soon her lips part.

Then, his teeth stuck out and he growled at the girl.

That moment.

The skillful secretary stepped forward and started getting angry instead.

“Whose body has this b*tch dared to defile now?”

A loud voice.

The child was startled by that voice and flinched even more.

Thanks to this, citizens passing by also avoided the place as if they did not want to get involved with the blasphemous nobleman.

“These are clothes you can’t get even if you sell hundreds of bottles of your inferior drink!”

“sorry… Please forgive me… .”

A girl wearing a tattered dress covered in dust.

My arms were as thin as tree branches, probably due to all the hardships I had gone through.

From noble mtl dot com

I quickly tried to stop the inflexible upper class.

Even if the girl hit her first, the treatment was too much.

but… .

Just as I was about to leave.

Lydia grabbed the girl’s shoulder.

And then he asked, as if interrogating, with bloody eyes.

“How old are you this year?”

“heat… “There are fourteen.”

Lydia glanced down at the broken glass bottles and said in a cold voice.

“Since when can a little kid get a job like delivering drinks?”

“Well, that…” My mother is sick and I have no choice but to make money to pay for the medicine… .”

I closed my eyes tightly.

Among the poor, is there anyone who is merciless?

If Lydia was an eccentric person, she would definitely not approve.

“so. Since you made money illegally, you can afford to pay for my clothes, right?”

“Yes, I will pay you back. Uh, how much should I ask… .”

The girl’s eyelids flutter.

Then Lydia smiled like a devil with her eyes half closed.

“100 gold.”

The girl’s pupils constrict at the exorbitant amount.

She whimpered and her eyes turned red.

“Can I repay you…?” ?”

Lydia looked down at the girl arrogantly.

Then the young delivery man sniffled and nodded.

“I will pay you back…” Anyway… .”

I sighed deeply.

After all, what kind of monarch is a monarch?

Seeing how merciless she was even to the young people, any hope that had arisen in the carriage disappeared.

“That’s stupid. “When are you going to pay me back by selling those cheap drinks?”

She crossed her arms alone.

Then he snorted and shot the child.

“How much is a bottle of this drink?”

“It’s 1 silver… .”

A world where 100 silver is 1 gold.

In order for a child to pay for clothes, you have to sell 10,000 bottles of drink.

Besides, would a young delivery man pay the full cost of that drink?

The superiors who illegally hired her will exploit her.

“After paying the price to the business owner who hired you, you won’t even get it back?”

Lydia looked down at the blue bruises and wounds all over the child’s body.

A man’s shoe prints remain intact on his body.

When the princess saw those marks, her eyebrows naturally furrowed.

“Secretary?”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

“This kid has absolutely no ability to repay the money. What should I do?”

“Under the law, there is a way to make compensation through forced labor.”

The middle-aged man’s shadow fell on the young girl.

Then the delivery man cried and cowered.

“Yes, if you don’t have the ability to repay, you have to make it happen.”

The princess ordered the secretary with a stern expression.

“Take him.”

The secretary held the child’s hand.

And he gave an order with a stern expression.

“Follow me.”

“Where are you taking the child?”

When I urgently asked, Lydia said with a cynical expression.

“To my palace.”

“To the palace?”

Lydia narrowed her eyes and smiled.

“Yes, from now on, that kid will be cleaning the vast imperial palace every day. “I only get paid 2 gold every month.”

‘huh… ? ‘Something’s strange.’

2 gold.

This is money that is difficult for a girl to earn even if she works hard every day.

They give you that much money every month until you become an adult and even make you work.

Is this really labor…? ?

“It doesn’t end there. “I will force you to undergo boring imperial education.”

Imperial education.

If you have received education from the imperial family, you can get a job in many places even after you become an adult.

It is especially preferred when applying to become a maid or housekeeper for nobles.

“What, it’s scary just to imagine it… ?”

“Ah yes… .”

Feeling increasingly strange, I made a shocked expression.

“In the most powerful country on the continent, incidents like this occur frequently… .”

Lydia did not look back at the girl going with the secretary.

He just turns his head and makes an annoyed expression.

“I don’t like it.”

“… .”

When I saw that, I raised the corners of my mouth.

She thought she would only harshly reprimand the child.

However, her actions were close to salvation.

For a poor girl, becoming an imperial servant is a huge achievement.

Since he is a servant of the royal family, he will be able to receive welfare for his sick mother.

‘Even if you act like you don’t like it on the outside, are you really kind at heart?’

I had a brief misunderstanding.

“I think it will be difficult to have a luncheon in this situation. Shall I take you to the carriage?”

“What are you talking about? Shouldn’t you just change your clothes? “It is not for a monarch to step down over something like this.”

‘That damn monarch… .’

I tried to smile.

Then I looked around to see if there was a place to sell clothes.

One of the few high-end dressmakers in Northon.

Of course, even I would seem insignificant to Lydia, but this place seems the best.

“Let’s go to the dressmaker. “I will take care of you.”

Lydia glanced at the dressmaker I pointed to.

And he muttered with a very disappointed expression.

“ha… Having to wear clothes from someone who is not an imperial tailor… .”

Even though she grumbles on the outside, she follows along leisurely.

Since I couldn’t walk around in sticky, see-through clothes, I went into the dressmaker’s shop together.

However, Lydia did not even pay attention to the clothes hanging on the model.

He immediately sat down on the leather sofa… .

He ordered the tailor to cross his legs.

“Bring me the most expensive and fashionable clothes here.”

The female tailor who was looking at the store looked at the princess, who was clearly annoyed.

Then she came out with the most expensive white dress.

“This product is the most expensive in our store.”

Lydia glanced down at her clothes.

Soon she was snoring so loudly that her overlapping teeth were visible.

“What is this fluffy thing? “Are you asking me to wear such tacky clothes now?”

“sorry… “I told you to bring the most expensive one.”

The princess clicked her tongue.

“As expected, as it is the most underdeveloped area, there is nothing going right.”

I looked around the shelves to silence the youngest princess.

Then suddenly a white blouse with a suspender skirt caught my eye.

“Even though it was a bit of a hassle, I had to have lunch at my palace… .”

Lydia muttered with her hand on her chin.

I wore different clothes in front of her.

“How about this?”

A white blouse and a moderately classy tie.

Navy blue suspenders and skirt made of soft fabric.

And even a suitable hat to disguise yourself.

“Hmm?”

Lydia looks askance at the fabric, which clearly does not seem to be of the highest quality.

“What are the clothes that students at this academy would wear?”

“I chose the clothes in this store that I thought would best suit Lydia.”

Is it because I said that I, who had always been an ironclad person, would suit him?

Lydia seemed interested and rubbed her skirt with her fingers.

“It is said that the eyes of commoners can only see commoners. “Are you telling me to wear something made in a factory like this?”

“Didn’t you say that you wanted to experience the life of the common people as a monarch?”

Lydia was struck by what she said.

She opened her eyes thinly and pursed her lips.

“Any clothes look different depending on who is wearing them. Even simple clothes like these will definitely look different when Her Highness Lydia wears them.”

I smiled and gently placed the clothes on her thighs.

And asked politely.

“There’s no way the monarch of the East wouldn’t be able to wear commoners’ clothes, right?”

A subtle provocation.

At that provocation, Lydia snorted as if mocking me.

“It’s the same. “What a low-level provocation.”

Lydia picked up the clothes and put them down carelessly on the seat next to her.

Then he got up and looked at me with dry eyes.

‘As expected, it was too much to wear with commercially available clothes.’

I was going to put my clothes back on the shelf.

However, the action soon stopped.

Because the princess’s delicate hand blocked the skirt she was holding.

“I never said I wouldn’t wear it.”

The 3rd princess with a somber expression.

She hung the clothes over her arms and threatened the tailor to lead her to the dressing room.

As she was going inside, she glanced back at me.

And he spoke calmly with a confident expression.

“Go out and wait.”

I lost my expression.

And he spoke softly with the corners of his mouth raised.

“All right.”

I came out in front of the dressmaker.

Then, with his back to him, he walked around until Lydia came out.

Is there anything that could threaten the princess?

I calmly looked around the tailor shop.

However, no matter how you look at it… .

A dark-haired man on top of a building.

A dark man with a dark shadow.

A dark-haired man reading a newspaper in front of a fountain.

‘There was no need to worry.’

Eastern knights sent by Lydia to replace my patrol.

They were all patrolling around the tailor shop.

Plus, the harsh gaze staring at me.

Their eyes are curious as to how the defense knight dares to treat the princess alone.

‘I didn’t want to do this either.’

I wanted to explain my injustice to them.

However, the sound of the dressmaker’s door is heard without time.

I turned my head to follow the sound.

and… .

I made eye contact with a girl who went from being a princess to a lively Academy daughter.

“I said it suits you… “If you say it’s not good, you’ll know you’ll be executed.”

She tries to keep her calm expression as usual.

However, I pursed my lips at the overall skirt and hat I wore for the first time in my life.

I briefly turned my head.

And he looked at the eastern knights who were guarding the princess from afar.

All their eyes were focused on their master.

It’s my first time seeing the princess’s school uniform-like atmosphere.

And even a sober expression.

I was mesmerized by the new side of her, who was usually cold and self-indulgent.

“At least you’re the princess, so you won’t get caught.”

I was happy to see her safer.

Then Lydia narrowed her eyes and asked.

“what? “What does that mean?”

“It means that, as expected from the monarch of the East, his camouflage is perfect.”

Something of a subtle compliment.

Lydia made a sullen expression at the compliment that did not mention her appearance.

“Even if you are hiding among the common people, you will never know… “Khaak!”

I was trying hard to praise him.

I felt a stabbing pain in my side.

The princess’s slender fist.

That fist dug into my side.

“You idiot… “After all, you’re a commoner, so you don’t even have any sense!”

Lydia leisurely led the way alone with her arms crossed.

“It’s a market, so let’s go to a restaurant. “You put me through this much trouble, but if you don’t even taste it, you should be executed!”

‘That guy’s execution… .’

I grabbed my throbbing back.

Until now, even when fighting Richard or Batshu and Allen, I have never allowed a single blow… .

After returning to the past, the first person to deal the blow was none other than the youngest princess.
