Became the Escort Knight That the Princesses Were Obsessed With

38 – 38. Knights of Verdant (3)

“You ignore me until the end… .”

Allen’s face turned grim as the wooden sword touched his temple.

He got nervous and struck down the wooden sword.

And he concentrated all his mana and stubbornly attacked.

“I’ll make sure to kill that unlucky face today!”

A guy who is proud of his family’s skills.

Thanks to this, we didn’t fight as fluctuatingly as before.

Rather, it is a pitiful sight that erases one’s own strengths.

As if to punish him, I dodged the blow and then struck the wooden sword in the same manner.

“cut.”

The moment I heard those words.

Allen’s eyes lost focus, as if he had lost consciousness.

And it lunged at me like an animal.

okay.

Since it’s not the imperial palace, his biggest weakness is revealed.

Just an emotional one.

When he realized that I wasn’t serious, he rushed towards me.

The only counterattack I can do anyway is cutting.

However, escorting the princess must never be emotional.

The moment you get emotional, the person being escorted becomes dangerous.

I raised my sword again.

And the moment he ignored my attack and tried to come in.

“Cut with both hands.”

I concentrated my entire body’s strength into my arm and struck the guy’s head with all my might.

Baaagh―――!!

“Maybe because my head is empty, the sound is so clear.”

The guy’s face was distorted comically by the intense shock.

The cadets who were watching this clearly covered their mouths to suppress laughter.

It was because I was dissatisfied with Allen, who had been teaching me so pathetically.

“Keuuu… .”

The guy staggered and took a step back.

But, I’m already out of my mind.

He muttered using only his mental strength.

“Use your mana… .”

The guy rotated his body and performed a sword dance.

So fast that the sharp wind blows and makes your hair fly.

“Use your mana, you bastard!!”

‘It’s so special that you come here.’

To help Allen withstand the ‘two-handed cut’, we decided to give him a preview of the next step in advance.

I clashed my wooden sword with the guy.

And it rotated smoothly as it was facing each other.

Allen, who had been hit on the head several times, spun and stumbled.

Compared to him, I was fine, so I stabbed him in the side with the sword I had grabbed.

“Wow… !”

Pain that stabs like a dagger.

The pain caused him to curl up like a bug.

Only then did the guy come to his senses.

I urgently requested time.

“Stop for a moment… “Big!”

However, there is no way.

He raised his wooden sword.

Then he looked at the cadet children and shouted firmly.

“Everyone saw it, right?”

The children all focused on what I said.

With the help of that gaze, I struck down my sword.

All over Allen’s body.

“The most important thing in swordsmanship is cutting.”

“stop… ! I lost!”

Allen hurriedly stretched out his hand.

However, I hit his hand and kindly put it back on the ground.

“no no. “You can still do more.”

And I pounded him with all my might as if to clear up his unfortunate actions so far.

“The kids want to watch and learn more.”

“Her Royal Highness… ! “Please stop this crazy guy!”

Only then did the maniac call his master.

Until now, I thought of her as a scarecrow of royal family.

but.

When Irina made eye contact with Allen, she gently turned her head.

“It’s raining a lot-.”

Next, I looked the other way as I watched the little rain fall.

She, too, was waiting for someone to hold Allen’s reins.

I smiled in response.

And he personally led the way by beating the next knight commander like chopping meat.

“Khaaa!!”

The cadets were watching closely.

Among them, the girl who was the only one who did not collapse when Allen was giving her mana training caught my eye.

She looked to be about 14 years old and raised her hand towards me.

“Isn’t the technique you used to defeat Knight Allen just now not a slash?”

“That’s an excellent question.”

I nodded at the look of a cadet full of passion for learning.

He then showed off his moves by gently poking the body of the slut.

“Just like a little while ago, if the opponent uses a ‘non-practical’ move. “You can subdue it by stabbing it with a sword like this.”

“Oh oh… .”

The cadets nodded in agreement.

And with serious eyes, he started asking questions one by one.

“Then why have you been avoiding sword contact since a while ago?”

“This is because the sword filled with mana is strong, and if I keep hitting it, my sword may break.”

In the eyes of the cadets, Allen was reduced to nothing more than a wooden doll.

But thanks to that, the children began to take my education seriously.

“Now, the blue hair I asked about first. “What did you say your name was?”

“It’s Sia!”

“Yes, Xia, start by cutting while shouting the command yourself.”

“all right!”

He is learning slowly, one by one, starting from cutting.

Looking at that, I nodded calmly.

The princess was the same.

She raised her eyebrows at the sight of the cadets learning step by step from the basics, no longer on the floor.

However, not everyone was happy with this situation.

Allen barely got up after lying on the floor.

He walked towards the director’s office alone, completely depressed.

I followed him slowly.

Now it’s time to throw carrots instead of sticks.

“Do you understand now how low your level is now?”

At those words, Allen lowered his head.

And he muttered in a hushed voice.

“Does it make you feel good to embarrass you like that in front of the kids? ?”

I tapped his side with my elbow where I had stabbed him with a wooden sword a moment ago.

Then the guy screamed.

“So you should have worked hard from the basics.”

I gave that guy a gentle arm around his shoulder.

And he told me privately that only he would listen.

“Study hard, I will teach you a lot from now on.”

“… .”

However, Allen was not yet satisfied with the vague proposal.

I threw him a bright carrot.

“Then someday I will teach you Sword Auror.”

‘Sword Auror.’

The guy raised his head at those magic words.

“Really…?” ?”

This guy doesn’t want to learn the basics even if it kills him.

Whenever the story of Sword Auror comes up, I get excited.

“Okay, if you’re going to be the leader one day, won’t you need to know how to organize things?”

Allen’s eyes widened when he heard that he was a knight commander.

The moment I decided to help the Verdant Knights, I knew that the position of leader would go to me.

“Are you saying you’re going to hand over the leadership role to me?”

“Yes, anyway, the territory given by the Prime Minister is enough for me.”

The guy soon cleared his throat and regained his dignity.

And the feeling of despair had completely disappeared, and I answered coolly.

“In that case… “I’m sure I’m the only one capable of becoming one.”

‘He’s such an easy guy to deal with… .’

The reason why I want to keep Allen in the Knights so much is simple.

That’s his bloodline.

Although he did not have leader-level blood, he gained fame through sparring at the banquet hall.

Thanks to this, you can participate in many high-class positions and receive sponsorship and connections.

What I need now is a star like him, with good physique and a smooth face.

Moreover, he has a good personality and is very persistent, so if you teach him, he will grow quickly.

‘Now that we’ve gotten over it, let’s finish it off.’

“Should we organize the rankings one last time?”

“Ordering the order… ?”

“Yes, because now I am in a teaching position. “You should call me Master.”

I stared at him with unfocused eyes.

Then Allen pursed his lips as if his pride was hurt.

“After being treated like that, do you still have any pride left?”

He furrowed his eyebrows at my scolding.

And he licked his itchy lips.

“Oh, if you don’t like it, don’t. “Take me Bassuna and raise her.”

The guy closed his eyes tightly when he heard the word “Bashu.”

And he shouted in a loud, idiot-like voice.

“Master!! I’m a teacher!! Are you done now?”

The bastard barely uttered a title of submission.

Satisfied with this, I smiled and patted his shoulder.

“Yes, disciple. “Please take care of me in the future?”

“Ulgeudg…” .”

The guy clenched his molars.

He huffed and entered the manager’s office to unpack his luggage.

“ha….”

At this level, you’ve probably laid the groundwork.

I’m tired because I feel like I’ve orchestrated a lot of things in a short period of time.

“… .”

I was getting ready to go back.

I made eye contact with Irina, who was watching me from afar.

I approached her and bowed my head politely.

“The sparring is over, so I’m going to go now.”

The rain seemed to have stopped and I was thinking of returning alone without the carriage.

but… .

“okay? “I’m going back to the mansion too. Shall we go together?”

Irina offered me company with a girlish smile.

“Where did Dasha go?”

“Yeah, I ordered something, so he’s away for now.”

Did they entrust you with collecting information?

“Okay, I’ll call a carriage.”

“No, the carriage is fine. “Now that the rain has stopped, I want to take a walk.”

The princess said as she stood at the entrance to the knights’ order.

Raindrops falling under the eaves.

She stretched out her palm and felt the cold touch of it falling.

“Is this okay?”

“Still, you’re wearing a raincoat. Someone might recognize you.”

The Knights of Verdant are located outside the imperial palace.

While returning to the mansion, you may encounter citizens.

“Well, how about it?”

The princess smiled and turned away.

“Rebels from defeated countries frequently carry out terrorist attacks against the empire. Just in case, be careful… .”

Irina said she understood what I said and raised her eyebrows.

Her face was covered with brilliant white silk.

“okay-. But you don’t have to worry.”

The princess gently stepped on a puddle of water.

And he said while smelling the fragrant rain.

“Even if you attack Lydia or Leah, you won’t gain anything by touching me.”

Is it because the clouds haven’t cleared yet?

The princess’s face looked particularly pale even from outside.

“… .”

She was more aware than anyone else that she still had no power.

She walked ahead with a confused expression.

From noble mtl dot com

I approached the princess.

And as we walked together, he lightly straightened the crumpled raincoat.

“Her Highness Irina is definitely the princess of the empire.”

A light word.

With that one word, the princess’s shoes, which had been walking trudging, suddenly stopped.

“So, I hope you value yourself a little more.”

Just like in her last life, she was still the same in this life.

Not valuing your own life.

“… .”

The princess did not respond for a moment.

Then, when he got closer to his mansion.

“okay.”

Only then did he calmly open his lips.

“Thank you for saying that, Veil.”

Irina’s eyes sparkle as if filled with rainwater.

To avoid those eyes, I turned my head away.

Because only if she stays healthy can the prince’s purge be prevented.

There is an awkward silence for a moment.

Then, the princess asked me with a shy smile.

“Hey, you know, Veil?”

She turns her back and avoids my gaze.

The princess spoke in an awkward voice unlike usual.

“Would you like to have a cup of tea while you’re here?”

“You mean tea?”

“huh. “The nobles who supported me happened to bring a nice car.”

She imagined her mansion soon emerging over the hill.

but… .

Soon her imagination was completely shattered.

An acrid smell began to emanate from afar.

And even the embers rising into the air.

Because the roof of her small mansion was engulfed in red flames.

“ah… !”

The day after receiving promise of support from nobles.

A fire broke out in the princess’s mansion.
