Became the Escort Knight That the Princesses Were Obsessed With

33 – 33. Eastern Knights (10)

“Apologise to the lady?”

A girl who is paler and younger than herself.

In addition, he wore academy-style clothes and was from the eastern part of the country with a short history.

The Count’s lips instinctively twitched when he was told to apologize to a woman who didn’t even know her family name.

“Why don’t you like it? “You bowed your head and apologized to a mere defense engineer like me, right?”

I asked with an expression that I couldn’t understand.

Then the Count immediately snorted and waved his hand.

“No way! Looper, quickly follow me.”

Dwyer urged his son.

And then we headed to the terrace in front of the restaurant together.

When the door opened, the bronze-skinned Eastern knights looked down at the father and son fiercely.

The Count walked past them with a bold expression, unlike when he apologized to me.

With an expression as if he knew who he was and shot him.

“So, did the story end well?”

Lydia’s sour voice.

She looked at the two nobles while sipping the sparkling water the store owner had just made.

“Yes, it’s been a while since I met a commoner I can communicate with.”

From her father’s sly look, she saw the face of Looper, who had been flirting with her a little while ago.

“If you forgive my son for his rudeness, the case will end with the arrest of that scoundrel.”

It is a cheeky nuance, as if everything will be resolved once the Thorman family is arrested.

Clearly, the reason they threatened the young lady was because of Looper, who stood by and ignored them.

Lydia tilted her head.

She soon realized my intention and raised her pink lips.

“Vail, you clever guy… .”

The young lady put on her hat even more tightly.

And he looked down at the Count alone with his arms crossed.

“Okay, please confess your sins one by one.”

“All right.”

The Count was not at all intimidated.

This is Northon.

Because there is no noble in this land who does not know their own prestige.

Rather, he uses the current situation to seek connections with the eastern nobility.

That’s why he, who has no talent for mana, was able to rise to this position.

It’s about personal connections and communication skills.

“When you run a fiefdom, many personal incidents are bound to occur.”

The count wrapped his arms around his son’s shoulders with a pleasant smile.

And he appeals to the fact that he is a high-ranking nobleman with a fiefdom.

“To prevent this, proper deployment of management personnel is necessary.”

Lydia nodded.

Encouraged by the nod, the Count begins to play with his tongue even more brilliantly.

“However, the Northon patrol has so far consisted of only one person. “He is only my son, the predecessor of Lord Bale, whom you met a moment ago.”

The Count then made a sad expression.

“No matter how strong a knight is, it is difficult to maintain security in the entire city alone.”

“Yes, I understand because I also lead the territory on my own.”

The count smiled brightly when he heard that Lydia also had an estate.

It means that they are the highest class in the East, as if they were employed by the Eastern Knights.

I plan to use this opportunity to connect with her properly.

“So what we chose was to create an intermediate manager in the city.”

Looper nodded with a noble expression.

As if he had no choice but to use the Thorman clan.

“Born lords also often hire personal knights to manage their people efficiently. “They usually deal with troublemakers instead of busy lords.”

Count Dwyer bowed his head.

So much so that the top of his head is visible.

“That’s the same reason Looper hired the Thorman clan.”

The father pressed his son’s shoulder and made him bow his head together.

And with a solid build-up, he apologizes to Young-ae.

“However, I really didn’t know that they would be so ignorant that they wouldn’t recognize the lady! “This was clearly our mistake and we sincerely apologize!”

Lydia nodded with interest.

He then took a handkerchief from the knight of the East and wiped his lips.

“It’s funny, using strong-willed thugs to manage the territory.”

At her softened response, the Count raised his lowered head.

And with an evil smile, he looked at Lydia’s face hidden behind the hat.

“Yes, this is a method that other lords often use. “I believe you will fully understand, since you are the owner of a fiefdom.”

The count had his son raise his head slowly.

Then he shows his generous face and asks.

“So… May I ask what family you are from? “Isn’t it good if people of the same lord level get to know each other?”

Dwyer is proud of his chubby son.

He asked subtly, as if he wanted to connect his son and the lady.

“You mean my family?”

Lydia chuckled at that question.

This was the first time in my life that I was asked where my family came from.

“Well, I’ve hardly ever called my father by his name.”

Lydia picked up the brim of the hat I bought her.

And the moment you slowly raise it… .

Her beautiful hair, passed down to her by her mother, the princess of Samid, Eastern Kingdom, fell softly.

And the clear facial features inherited from Baldwin IV, the conqueror, are revealed.

“If I say Baldwin, will you understand?”

The two nobles looked up at Lydia blankly.

And when I heard that her last name was the same as the current emperor of the empire, my face turned white.

“To control the people of the territory, they used street thugs as middle managers… “That is truly plausible.”

Lydia took off her hat and lightly shook her hair.

Thanks to this, the faint scent of figs spread around.

“Is that why my father appointed a scum like you as a middle lord?”

Ruby-red eyes penetrate Count Dwyer.

The count’s breath stopped and his lips parted, unable to say anything.

A person with black hair, whose father was an emperor.

And even the feeling of déjà vu I felt when looking at it from afar.

Because I now realized that the person in front of me was Lydia, the cruel princess of the East.

“Li, Your Highness Lydia… . That is… .”

So far, I have been able to excel in any situation.

The Count treated anyone he met with ease.

He never imagined that he would meet the princess in such a shabby pizza shop.

“I understand what you mean. “Because they lacked ability, they mobilized municipal government agencies to control the city.”

Lydia stood up alone with her arms crossed.

“Thanks to you, the neglected people ended up being rude not only to the common people, but also to the royal family?”

And then he looked down at the Count with his creepy eyes.

“I’m sorry, Your Highness!! “I have committed a sin that even death cannot wash away!”

Only then did the Count’s fear rise.

He pushed the chair aside and crouched on the dirty store floor.

“Ah, father… !”

The embarrassed look of my father, seeing him for the first time.

Even my generous son is embarrassed by this.

“What are you doing if you’re not kneeling right now?!”

The count shouted at his son with a look of horror on his face.

Only then does Looper begin to kneel as well.

“Why are you suddenly apologizing? “Aren’t you insisting that your actions were justifiable?”

Lydia tilted her head at the count’s change in posture.

“No, it was just my disgusting sophistry!!”

Dwyer hit his head on the floor.

Loud enough for everyone to hear.

The 3rd princess shook her head at that ugly appearance.

And then I looked pitifully at the middle-aged man with his head down.

“Tsk… “He was once a promising person in the imperial family, but he suffered because of this ugly bastard.”

Lydia indifferently passed by the two father and son who were on the ground.

And he gave an order in a cold voice.

“Raise your head, Count.”

“Yes, yes! Her Royal Highness… !”

The count hurriedly raised his face as if responding to a call.

A trace of blood remained on his forehead.

“I will not propose this matter in particular to the Imperial Council.”

“Thank you so much!!”

The Count’s eyes became red as if he was alive now.

but… .

The Emperor’s name is not over yet.

“No, because children don’t always turn out the way their parents want. “His Majesty the Emperor also suffered a lot because of my mistake.”

Lydia looked at Count Zigsy.

And he spoke cruelly with a smiling face.

“And, every time that happened, my limbs would be beaten until they died instead of me.”

At her words, the Count’s straightened face distorted again.

“When I saw that, I realized the weight of my position. “If I do something wrong, other people will suffer too.”

Lydia pointed to the riding whip the driver had on his belt.

The coachman who was singled out took out the whip and immediately slapped it at Lydia.

“Do you understand what she means?”

The princess carelessly dropped the whip in front of the count.

“… .”

Dwyer stared blankly at the whip in front of him.

And when he realized what the princess meant, he grabbed the whip with trembling hands.

“father… .”

Looper looks at his father holding the whip.

His face was completely different from the past, when he was kind no matter what mistakes he made.

“You… . Because of you… !”

Dwyer straightened up.

Then, she grabbed the whip with one hand and the hair of her son, whom she loved so much, with the other hand.

“Oh, it hurts! father!”

Looper screamed like a pig being slaughtered.

However, the count didn’t care.

If you are not careful, your family could be destroyed.

He grabbed his son, the culprit of the incident, and dragged him into the restaurant.

And then he made eye contact with me as I was leaning against the entrance of the store.

“Excuse me… .”

The Count spoke to me in a brusque voice and closed the door.

Taaa!!

Soon, the sound of violent whips began to echo inside the store.

Taaa!!

The Eastern Knights soon blocked all the windows.

And I watched straight as the Count struck his son hard.

Dwyer responded by whipping his beloved Looper with tears in his eyes.

“Hmm, that sounds really good.”

Lydia stretched refreshingly.

Her half-closed red eyes sparkle.

Soon she looked at me blankly as I came out to rent the restaurant.

“How clever of you to dare use me to deal with a corrupt noble.”

“I didn’t mean it that way.”

I calmly shook my head.

However, Lydia smiled and asked even more persistently.

“No, you don’t think I know that you are trying to make a mark by making achievements in front of the royal family?”

The princess slowly approached me.

‘Could it be that my actions also felt impure?’

Of course, it is true that he used the princess to stop Looper from going to the imperial family.

However, it would be troublesome if it seemed like an ambition to overtake a senior.

I kept my mouth shut and lowered my head.

And while waiting for the princess’s disposition… .

Unlike when dealing with the Count, I heard a playful girl’s voice.

“Good job-.”

Lydia snuggled into my body with her head down.

“It’s really cute how he knows his situation and takes advantage of those around him. “It was a good strategy.”

And then I poked my new rank insignia with my finger.

“I hope you will always depend on me from now on. “New knight, Lord Bale.”

Is it because they are close together?

The faint scent of figs blooming from her tickled the tip of my nose.

“So you’ll end up owing me a lot of money and crawling back on your own.”

The young lady tilted her head and smiled broadly.
