Became the Escort Knight That the Princesses Were Obsessed With

34 – 34. Guardian of Balance (1)

“All right.”

The princess’s devil-like smile.

From noble mtl dot com

I ended up laughing at that smile.

“However, if something like this happens in the future, please keep the knights close by.”

I lowered my knees and was at eye level with the princess.

And he gave her some serious advice.

“I also cannot tolerate the monarch who commands the empire being threatened.”

Honestly, just now, when Orn’s arm was draped over Lydia.

I almost used Sword Aura in front of her.

What if the princess gets hurt while accompanying him?

Instead of living leisurely, you will be sent to prison right away.

Of course, if that happens, there will be no need to get involved with the imperial family.

A hanging rope will be tied around my neck.

So, I wish Lydia would act a little more discreetly.

“… .”

Is it because the right arm that threatened him a moment ago came to mind?

Lydia looked at me blankly.

“The road to success is very wide and covers a lot of trivial topics.”

The princess snatched the hat I gave her.

Then he turned his head and muttered.

“If you’re going to say that, I will personally protect you from your side… .”

“I didn’t hear you clearly.”

When I asked, Lydia shook her head and spoke slyly.

“No, let’s just go. “The atmosphere is messy and there is no atmosphere for eating.”

Lydia crossed her arms alone.

He then orders the knights to lead the carriage.

“I’m sorry, you went through so much trouble because of me.”

I bowed my head and apologized.

However, she didn’t criticize me at all.

Rather, before leaving… .

“Well, it’s okay. “Thanks to you, I got to visit the city and it was a lot of fun.”

The princess patted my shoulder.

And he whispered in a bloody voice.

“This time you showed me around the city, so next time I’ll show you around my imperial palace.”

“yes… ?”

I hurriedly raised my head at the sound of that voice.

And then I faced the bloody red eyes.

“I have been treated well, so isn’t it the duty of a monarch to give appropriate compensation?”

The area under my eyes is trembling.

You’re putting this together like this again!

The princess boarded the carriage that arrived with brisk steps.

“I guess I’ll see you later.”

And I nailed the following promise firmly to my heart.

“All right… .”

I responded with a formal service smile.

Then Lydia smiles and speaks to me.

“By the way, before I go, I will leave you a message.”

I tilted my head at her sudden command.

“What is?”

The princess placed her hand on the window.

Then he rested his chin and gave an order.

“Next time I see you, please bulk up a bit.”

“yes… ?”

I furrowed my eyebrows at the sudden remark.

“It’s just that they’re so skinny. “Would you use it if a knight of the empire was so corrupt?”

The princess laughed and hid her face in the carriage.

I looked at her with a shocked face.

And I just waited until the sight of the departing carriage completely disappeared.

* * * *

The royal carriage crosses Northon.

And soon they entered the eastern part of the capital.

Well paved road.

The road allowed carriages to go faster than they could at Northon.

Thanks to this, Lydia quickly returned to her mansion.

When the door opened, dozens of servants lined up in a long line.

The princess made them all leave and stood alone in front of the lobby.

Thanks to this, the mansion became quiet.

Lydia took a long breath that she had been holding.

“ha… .”

Is it because I took a deep breath?

After calming down, she looked at the huge full-length mirror in the lobby.

My own reflection there.

Unlike when I first went out to see the veil, it became very plain.

To go out dressed as a princess and come back as an ordinary princess.

She found this situation amusing and smiled and walked closer to the mirror.

Then, he turned his back and observed his appearance.

“That guy likes to look like this… .”

Navy blue overalls skirt.

And a plain dress shirt and tie.

No matter how you look at it, it’s no different from an ordinary academy uniform.

Does he feel like his ideal type is an elegant student?

The princess tried to gently move her stiff body little by little.

She was far from the usual dancing or graceful appearance of a young lady.

When I realize that Bale’s ideal type is close to him, I try to imitate the dance I learned at the Imperial Academy.

“Ugh… .”

However, no matter how much you learn, if you are not used to it, it will put a strain on your body.

She frowned, clutching her stiff waist.

And the moment I hurriedly looked around… .

I made eye contact with the secretary who was watching from afar.

“… .”

A brief silence follows.

The first to break the silence was the princess, whose face was red.

“Well, what were you looking at so gloomily!!”

“sorry.”

In response to Lydia’s scolding, the secretary bowed his head and apologized.

However, no matter how old you are, when you see a girl about your granddaughter’s age dancing awkwardly while wearing school uniform-style clothes… .

The corner of my mouth couldn’t help but twitch.

“Cha, don’t be mistaken. “She was just practicing as a debutant in preparation for the upcoming coming-of-age ceremony!”

“All right… .”

The secretary answered in a calm voice.

However, I couldn’t help but tremble at the end of my words.

“Whoa… .”

The princess put her hand on her heart and managed to calm down her anger.

And then I asked him with a serious face.

“Um, the secretary?”

The secretary calmly approached as if responding to this.

“You know what. “How do I look now?”

“yes… ?”

Lydia has always worn only what the maid told her to do.

I thought you had no interest in clothes or decorations your whole life.

The secretary’s mustache twitched as he heard her question for the first time in his life.

“I walked around wearing low-class commoner’s clothes, so what did people think of me?”

“Oh, did you mean that?”

The middle-aged wizard nodded with a yes expression.

There was no way that the princess, who was always stubborn, would be as interested in her appearance as the girl.

“Well, you were quite elegant. “No matter how commoner’s clothes are, they cannot cover the dignity of the royal family.”

The secretary then encouraged the princess with plausible words.

“On the contrary, thanks to Your Majesty’s beauty, the clothes I bought downtown felt luxurious.”

“yes? “It will be natural enough to wear clothes like this in the future, right?”

“of course.”

The secretary obediently agreed with the princess’s words.

Lydia gently placed the hat that Veil had given her on her head.

Then, looking at his own shadowed face, he asked the secretary.

“How many imperial tailors are in my palace now?”

“There are five people.”

“Tell them to come to my mansion right now.”

The secretary lowered his head as if responding.

The princess walked around the living room with her back turned until they arrived.

About twenty turns like that.

The tailors dropped everything they were doing and arrived at the palace.

“Meeting Her Highness the Princess.”

Four men and one woman shouted at the same time.

Then Lydia nodded with a grim expression.

“Welcome, I’m sorry for calling you in a hurry.”

His tone of voice changed when he met people other than the secretary and Bale.

The tailors all tensed at that tone.

She lined up the tailors.

And then he asked in a cold voice, as if interrogating him.

“Now, what do you think of my outfit now?”

A question that would be scary to a tailor.

At that question, the five craftsmen’s entire bodies froze.

“What is it? Is it such a difficult problem that you have to think about it for so long?”

Lydia frowned in disappointment.

Then, a quick-witted female tailor stepped forward.

“I think it’s beautiful.”

Other male craftsmen also hurriedly nodded along with her words.

“you’re right. The elegance and neatness make Her Highness Lydia’s appearance stand out even more!”

“I don’t know which tailor made it, but I’m sure he was quite skilled… .”

Lydia, satisfied with the sight, chuckled.

Her shoulders were shaking from the praise pouring in.

“Yes – indeed, Bale’s eyesight is also excellent. “I can’t believe the craftsmen chose such great clothes for me that they praised me so much.”

The princess put her hand on her waist.

And with a relaxed expression, he orders them.

“Okay then, make sure you keep this outfit in sight.”

Lydia spins around and shows them her outfit.

And she showed off her beautiful figure by shaking her heels.

“Then, have each of you make 10 garments of the same fabric and style.”

A command given with unfocused red eyes.

The tailors’ eyes widen at that command.

However, this was just the beginning.

“The period is one month. Is that enough?”

10 pieces in one month.

The tailors were startled by those words and began to take out the paper and quills they had brought with them.

Then, he quickly drew the clothes worn by the princess in front of him.

“I… “Your Royal Highness, can you tell me which great tailor made that costume?”

Violet, a female tailor who has studied clothing for decades.

she asked, looking at the school uniform-style skirt that Lydia was proud of.

Then the princess spoke confidently.

“Northern Market, Northon.”

market.

The tailor’s face froze with a smile at those two short words.

Then Lydia smiled and patted the tailor.

“why? “Would you like to send me on a field trip there?”

“no… . “I will definitely offer more beautiful clothes with similar designs.”

“That’s right, I have very high expectations.”

After saying that, the princess dismissed the tailors.

Then they went up to the bedroom to relieve the fatigue that had built up while they were sketching themselves and their clothes.

The attendants tried to help her undress and collect her clothes.

Then Lydia warns them with a very cruel look.

“Be especially careful when washing, so that it doesn’t get even the slightest bit worn.”

“Yes, Your Highness…” .”

“Oh, and this is okay.”

Lydia, who had changed into her pajamas, tightly held on to the hat that Bale had bought her.

Then, I lay down on the huge bed and looked blankly at the lamp.

“hmm… .”

The princess gently stretched out her hand alone.

And he made a shadow appear on his face.

As if someone was protecting him with his arms.

Soon she remembered a memory from her past.

In that memory, there was a man with a sturdy build standing there.

He wore a crown and protected Lydia with his trusty arms when she was in danger.

“Be more careful from now on. Aren’t you going to be a monarch who will command the empire someday?”

Is it a coincidence?

What the driver she met during the day said and what her father said to her in the past were very similar.

“I think it would be similar if it were just a little bigger… .”

The princess closed her eyes, remembering the words the two people exchanged.
