Became the Escort Knight That the Princesses Were Obsessed With

6 – 6. First sparring (4)

Her face seen up close.

It is quite different from the past when she shed tears.

Calm and haughty eyes.

Unlike other princesses who accompanied knights, she did not feel discouraged even though she was sitting alone.

but… .

If Lydia is the image of cheerful Middle Eastern music and Leah is the image of elegant classical music.

Irina felt sad, like hearing the sound of a music box in her memories.

Because I won’t be by her side in this life.

Irina, who didn’t know how I felt, looked at me and smiled.

With eyes as blue as emeralds.

“long time no see.”

Long time no see.

The words strike my ears.

Did I ever see Irina separately when I was a cadet?

I thought about it carefully.

“I’m sorry, but may I ask whether I have seen the princess in the past?”

At that question, Irina crossed her arms alone.

“Well, you don’t know, but I do.”

And he smiled as if it was natural.

“Because I am the princess.”

Has Irina’s reaction changed because her sparring performance has improved? ?

Unlike the past, she has become quite active.

“What did you think of the other princesses’ suggestions?”

“It was all too much of an offer for me.”

I spoke in the safest possible language.

However, Irina mischievously kept stabbing me in the heart.

“really… “Is that what you think?”

Before I knew it, Irina’s eye smile had changed into a pitiful smile.

“You know. “The fate of the last knight.”

fate.

For some reason, those two letters struck my heart.

As if she knew my future.

“That’s why you don’t feel like it. “I’m afraid of being used and abandoned.”

I couldn’t answer her words quickly.

Because I had no idea that the princess knew about the sorrow of commoners.

“Sorry… it was a long story.”

On a day when I was speechless, Irina looked up pitifully.

She apologized to me in a bitter voice.

And he handed me the paper that was lying on the table.

“Okay, now let me make a suggestion.”

On that paper… .

There was an appointment letter written on it.

‘Appointment letter for knight commander?’

The moment I saw those 4 letters.

I looked at her in disbelief.

However, there was not the slightest tremor in the eyes of the second princess.

He just looks up at me again.

“Recently I created an order of knights.”

A calm voice, as if making a declaration in front of everyone.

At that voice, both Leah and Lydia stopped their actions.

That’s what the 2nd princess said.

This means that she, who has been obsessed with ranking, will also jump into the competition.

“order-?”

Lydia said angrily, resting her chin on the back of her hand.

Leia also stopped moving her quill.

And with an expressionless expression, I waited for my younger brother to speak.

“My knights don’t care about origins. “Because they are selected solely based on ability and belief.”

This means not looking at class.

At those words, the eyes of my commoner classmates sparkle.

They were so depressed that they looked up at Irina as if they were looking at a goddess.

“Knights of Verdant, I will nominate you as the ‘first leader’ of this place.”

Knight Commander.

A position that only 7 out of hundreds of knights can climb.

That position would be given to a commoner rookie knight.

Was this the reason why you were confident even though the circumstances were unfavorable?

Indeed, it is a smart suggestion that only she can recommend.

but… .

“What kind of knighthood can you say that doesn’t have any entourage?”

Lydia, who was listening, begins to scold him.

It seems that Irina’s proposal was particularly annoying because she had been holding down the rank of second princess.

“I guess you don’t know because I’m just reading a book in the corner of my room, but it takes at least 5 years to create a proper knighthood.”

Lydia closed her eyes and shrugged her shoulders.

And his distinctive red eyes flashed thinly.

“And with Bale’s talent, you can become vice-captain of our Eastern Knights within five years.”

Lydia has always seemed like a girl.

In fact, she knew the Knights better than anyone else.

“He’s a talent that wouldn’t be a waste to play as the leader of the clumsy knight corps you created.”

Didn’t he become the ruler of the East simply because of his noble lineage?

Her judgment was more cool-headed than I thought.

“Yes, Irina. “If you need an escort, I will dispatch one.”

Leah, who was just listening from the side, also helps.

She grins and points to her Knights of Light.

“Do you really need to go through all the trouble to create an order of knights?”

Indeed, just looking at the Knights of Leah, each one is a skilled person comparable to a high-level sword expert.

They have the power to take on dozens of soldiers alone.

However, Irina did not react at all to the words of the two princesses.

Her blue eyes were only looking at me.

Eventually, she stood up between the princesses on either side.

And then he placed his hand on his chest.

“I won’t force you, Veil.”

The princess undid two buttons on her dress.

“But, I…” .”

A rosary necklace is hidden underneath.

“I will never let you die in vain.”

She took off the necklace and put it in my hand.

I can feel her warmth from the necklace touching my palm.

Brass filled cross with platinum rim.

There is a small emerald embedded in the middle of it.

A simple treasure for a royal family treasure.

However, the princesses watching from the side knew the value of the rosary.

Their father, King Baldwin IV.

Because it was the first and last gift he gave to Irina’s mother.

“… .”

I looked alternately at Rosario and the Second Princess in front of me.

Her confident eyes.

However, the palm holding out the necklace was subtly trembling.

I carefully cupped her open palms with both hands.

Thanks to this, my trembling hands were soon covered.

“You don’t have to humble yourself to me.”

Her cold hands touched each other.

As soon as it touches my hot hand, the trembling gradually begins to stop.

“I will think about it slowly. “Please stop this undeserved treatment.”

The corners of Irina’s mouth quirk up.

Her face, which had been slightly stiff, regained its smile again.

Soon, she pointed to my hands that were holding each other.

“I want to, but your hand won’t let go?”

At that moment, I was so shocked that I had dared to touch the princess’s jade body that I quickly withdrew my hand.

“sorry.”

“are you okay. If it had been someone else, I would have been guilty… .”

Irina muttered, looking down at the returned Rosario.

Then when I looked up again.

Her green eyes held a faint smile.

“I’ll give you special attention. “Because I didn’t feel bad.”

Irina passes by me.

She stopped for a moment and whispered to me in a very low voice.

“I won’t burden you any more. “Please choose carefully.”

I watched her leisurely departure.

And he answered quietly with a smile.

“thank you… .”

* * * *

Finally, all of the three princesses’ proposals came to an end.

All that remains now is my choice.

I slowly looked around.

From noble mtl dot com

Leah puts her monocle back on and looks at the documents as if nothing had happened.

If you work under her, you will definitely succeed and grow quickly.

However, because of this, I will have to fight political battles with other noble sons.

If you are pushed out of there, not only will you not be able to run for a long time, but you may be accused of being a political enemy and executed.

Next, Lydia.

Thanks to her yawning appearance, her pointed fangs become visible.

The choice to go to her.

Luxury and pleasure, and even the lowest knights can be granted fiefdoms that are unimaginably spacious.

It would definitely be of great help if the orphanage that raised me moved there.

However, in return, you will have to fight faction battles with knights from the east.

Because they reject drivers who are not from the same region.

“ha… .”

I sighed deeply.

Then he turns his gaze and looks at Irina one last time.

When I ran into her, she smiled brightly at me.

However, unlike her beautiful smile, the princess has a very big flaw.

The point is that her knighthood is currently unfinished.

It will be as flimsy and weak as a newly built Saturn.

If I go to her side right away, I have no idea where to start.

This is definitely not a problem that can be solved solely through past affection.

Still, it is not without its drawbacks.

An offer to give me a knight’s rank.

And that you will make sure I don’t die in vain.

I really liked that statement.

“Are you still thinking about it?”

While I was thinking alone, I raised my head when I heard the sound of heavy military boots.

General Balderian.

He was approaching me with his eyebrows furrowed.

‘What, why are you angry…? ? Just a moment ago, he was watching me with satisfaction.’

“You are the first. “The child who wrapped Her Highness’s hand.”

He glared at me with a cold tone.

Those eyes were so harsh that it took my breath away.

“I’m sorry, but I was worried about him.”

“Because you’re worried?”

Balderian’s brow furrowed.

Thanks to this, the shadows in his eyes became even darker.

“The princess gave me a rosary. “I will treat you with respect if you come to me.”

The general frowned as if he couldn’t understand.

Thanks to this, his lion-like face becomes even more grim.

“Rosario… ? No driver has ever treated me like that… .”

“The sacred object was burdensome, so I quickly rejected it and made a mistake.”

Balderian nodded as if he understood the reason.

“I’ll skip it this time, but be careful from now on.”

“All right.”

“And you’d better choose quickly. “It would be rude to keep the royal family waiting.”

Balderian tapped my shoulder and leisurely returned to his seat.

The general joined the corner of the long table where the princesses sat.

He looked at the distant mountains alone, as if he felt regretful about losing such a good talent to them.

‘Okay, there’s no need to make you wait any longer.’

Thanks to the words of the general, I walked leisurely in front of them.

Then the three princesses all raised their heads and looked at me.

“Yes, Veil. “Have you made your choice?”

Leah’s calm voice.

My classmates who were confused by that voice also focus on me.

They were curious too.

The 80th knights of the Adel Empire.

Where will the top rank of the knights go?

“Yes, I… .”

Finally I opened my mouth.

Three great people watch me silently.

Leah of the Knights of Light.

She raises her monocle and leisurely raises the corners of her mouth.

Lydia of the Eastern Knights.

She also folds her arms and watches me with narrow eyes.

and… Irina Andalusia.

He held the rosary tightly with both hands and looked at me intently.

He spoke calmly in front of them.

“I will join General Balderian’s Capital Defense Force.”

Was it then?

The moment when the villa full of people became incredibly quiet.

“what-?!”

My classmates looked at me with mesmerized expressions.

Balderian’s once solemn eyes widen to the point where the shadow disappears.

“Where did he just say he was going!”

But, that’s just the beginning.

Leah’s monocle, which she had confidently assumed would come to her, falls down.

Lydia’s lips parted and her sharp teeth stuck out.

And even Irina, who dropped Rosario in surprise.

The princesses all looked at me with fascinated expressions.
