Became the Escort Knight That the Princesses Were Obsessed With

7 – 7. An office is created (1)

A cold wind comes into the office hallway.

Is it because the building is old?

Every time I step on the floor, I hear a blood-curdling scream.

There is a piece of newspaper lying on the floor.

「The 80th official knight number one, Veil. Join the Capital Defense Force.”

It wasn’t a big news story.

However, it is proudly written on the front page of the newspaper.

‘A patriotic knight who gave up the wealth and glory of the imperial family for the sake of his country.’

I picked up the newspaper with the burdensome propaganda written on it.

And with it crumpled in my pocket, I walked down the precarious office hallway.

This is Northon, the northern part of the capital.

This is the poorest area in the capital and is also avoided by drivers.

So, most of those assigned are from commoners or fallen nobles.

Thanks to this, the knights here were often treated like police officers rather than heroes.

“I can’t believe this building is still in use… .”

I took a deep breath.

Perhaps because it is at the end of an old building, the air is stuffy.

Room 203.

Capital Defense Knights, Beil Mikhail.

An office with my name on it.

I wiped the name plate with the newspaper I picked up earlier.

“But now I’m really free.”

My heart is pounding.

This is my first assignment where I will work.

Although it is not a luxurious palace for princesses, there are fewer bosses who come to visit.

‘That means it’s my own paradise.’

That’s what I thought until I opened the front door.

However, the moment I entered the office, that thought disappeared immediately.

Because the office scene I first encountered was quite spectacular.

“No, what kind of office… .”

A lot of spider webs hung in the corners of the ceiling.

A table covered in dust and a broken sofa are still there.

Even the leather of the sofa has burst and the cotton is exposed unsightly.

“No matter how much the position is avoided, is it to this extent?”

Usually, knights have secretaries or servants to prepare for their chores and patrols.

However, this is a right that can only be achieved by protecting the princess.

As a junior engineer, all I have is a broom.

‘I didn’t suffer this much even when I was a candidate… .’

Just as I was finishing cleaning the floor, I began to hear the faint sound of military boots coming from the hallway.

‘Is it one person or two?’

Soon the office entrance bursts open.

Then I made eye contact with the two knights who burst open the door and came in.

“Are you here? “The new guy’s office?”

Arrogant voice.

A chubby knight with brown eyes and bald-white hair slicked back with pomade asks.

He looks around my office with narrowed eyes, wondering what he doesn’t like so much.

“Yes, that’s right.”

A female knight with short black hair and tear spots.

She answered in a calm, low voice.

Just looking at him, he looks like he’s in his early 20s, similar in age to me.

“What are you? “Your senior has come and you don’t even say hello?”

As soon as it arrived, was it picked on?

This is indeed the Capital Defense Force, full of inferiority complex.

I didn’t want to look unpleasant, so I saluted.

And at the same time, I observed its mana.

Considering how arrogant he is, he must be a pretty strong knight.

but… .

The mana in his body was so messed up that it was hard to believe he was a knight.

It was definitely more than the female knight standing next to her.

However, it is messy, as if it has not been properly trained.

“Kids these days are serious, really.”

A man who appears to be about the same age walks in with his back to me.

And that moment.

The expressionless expression I had managed to maintain almost disappeared.

Because dirty footprints were left where the heavy man’s feet passed.

“And if you come, clean it up. “If you get a work room, shouldn’t you keep it clean and tidy?”

He scolds me as he looks at the marks he has trampled.

At that moment, I thought.

‘What is this, a patience test?’

He sat down on my chair, which I had carefully cleaned, as if showing off.

Then, a groaning sound was heard from the shabby chair, as if it were about to break.

“This kid is number one among this year’s jockeys? “The level of candidates these days has dropped a lot.”

The female senior glanced up at me after seeing my reticence despite countless scoldings.

She is about a head shorter than me and answers for me.

“Still, he is the knight who defeated Richard.”

Feminine, low voice.

Her voice suddenly catches my attention.

With short black hair and black eyes, it resembles a cat.

“You Miya didn’t hear? “He was disqualified because he ran out of mana.”

The story seems to have been distorted.

It wasn’t a disqualification, I just beat the guy who had too much mana.

His comrades were probably spreading rumors to protect the honor of the nobles.

“That doesn’t work here, you bastard.”

He threw a stack of papers on my table.

That bundle contained data on cases I hadn’t even taken on yet.

Riot incidents at bars, domestic violence incidents, etc… .

What’s this.

Are you telling me to write an incident report that I haven’t been in charge of since day one?

“Since you’re the number one nominee, you’ll be able to take care of all the chores, right? “Let’s deal with it today.”

He chuckles and gets up from the chair.

“Let’s go, Miya. “There’s a lot of dust here. I’m going to get sick.”

Looper’s expression softened when he saw her.

However, Miya looked at her senior with a straight face and answered firmly.

“I will finish training my successor.”

“You will take care of it. “Let’s just go-.”

“Still, if you teach me well, I won’t cause trouble to you later.”

I will teach it for my seniors, not for myself.

At those words, Looper raised the corners of his thick mouth.

And he speaks in a bright voice that makes you wonder if it’s the same person who grumbled a moment ago.

“Huh? After all, the only person who thinks of me is ‘Miya’?”

Looper cleared his throat for a moment, looked at his successor, and very slowly walked out the door.

And before leaving, he stuck his head out and made the gesture of smoking a cigarette.

“I’ll wait below. “Smokes and pizza later.”

“I quit smoking.”

Maya saluted him until he left, then closed the door only after his massive body was completely gone.

Then, with my back to the door, I took a deep breath.

“Ha, f*ck… .”

My eyes sparkle as I wonder if I didn’t hear correctly.

Because curses came out of her mouth, which had been polite until now.

The sound of a match is heard next.

I turned my head to follow the sound.

And contrary to what I said about hanging up a little while ago, I saw Miya coolly lighting the fire.

Her tear spots were frowning, as if she had accumulated a lot of anger over the years.

Soon the senior asked me with a decadent expression.

“Why, do you want to fill it too?”

“no.”

When I refused, Miya roughly threw the matchbox on the dusty table.

And he starts smoking as far away from me as possible.

“Is he a dick?”

“it’s okay. “I’ve seen that style a lot.”

From noble mtl dot com

Miya’s long fingers bend gracefully.

The finger absentmindedly flicked a cigarette into the ashtray.

“It’s okay, although his expression is sour.”

Miya chuckled and lowered the corners of her eyes with her fingers.

Was my face like that?

I tried to control my facial expression as much as possible.

“It’s because you’re so good. He hates competent juniors. “You’ll want to get it out somehow.”

“I want to stay here quietly for a long time.”

Miya snorted at my firm answer.

Then, he started gurgling as if he had a headache.

The sound was like a small animal sneezing.

“Well, it might be hard to hold on. “He shouldn’t be the only one who was sent away like that.”

She tapped the back of her hand on the wall of her shabby office.

And he tells me a secret I didn’t know.

“Originally, the office you were supposed to receive was a new building in the square.”

no wonder… .

Did that happen even though this building was particularly shabby?

“But the roofer asked what new building the new employee was using, so he was assigned here.”

Miya took a deep breath, as if she didn’t want to think about Looper anymore.

Then he crossed his legs and held the cigarette to his lips.

“That guy’s family is pretty good. That’s why I became a knight even though my body wasn’t up to the standard.”

Ah, so that’s why his mana was so crappy.

It was just a simple elixir.

“As soon as I met him, he said nothing but unpleasant things.”

Miya apologized to me with an embarrassed expression.

Then he rubbed his palms on his thighs and offered to shake my hand.

“I’m Mia Greta. “It’s your first year in office.”

“This is Veil, please take care of me.”

After shaking my hand, she looked at me and smiled.

Then I went to the table and looked at the chores the roofer had entrusted to me.

“Leave the chores to me. “It’s not something a rookie should do anyway.”

“thank you.”

I calmly bow my head and express my gratitude.

Then Miya shook her head and said it was okay.

“There is nothing to be thankful for. “If I do something wrong, I’ll just end up having a headache.”

She opened the document with skill.

Then, he checks the reports for me and starts writing them by hand on a blank piece of paper.

As if he was trying to show me his dignity as a senior.

“You too have suffered a lot. “You’re just going to escort the princess, why are you cleaning here?”

She said, looking at the mop next to the table.

“Because I don’t like political fights.”

Then the senior nodded as if he understood.

“Well, it would be a headache if a commoner who couldn’t get ahead was involved in something like that.”

As expected of her senior, she gave a leisurely warning.

“Not here though. “If you stay in a place like this, you’ll ruin your personality like I did.”

She has deep dark circles.

It certainly looks like you’ve had some trouble.

I nodded roughly and started sweeping the broom.

Because I have no interest in career advancement anyway.

But soon the broom had no choice but to stop.

The hallway beyond the front door.

Because I could hear the sounds of many people coming from there.

It’s even loud because of what they’ve packed.

￣￣￣.

A light knocking sound.

I went to the door before Miya woke up.

“I will open it.”

I opened the door carefully.

In front of the office, there was a man with a mustache that I had never seen before and his assistants.

“Are you Lord Bail Mikhail?”

“That’s right, but who are you?”

“I am Leah’s imperial architect, Colbert.”

He handed me the edict with a relaxed expression.

The royal decree had Princess Leia’s golden seal engraved on it.

“Princess Leia was greatly moved by your conviction to protect your country. To help support that belief, he ‘directly’ ordered repairs to the office.”

Colbert showed off the expensive materials he had brought, such as gold and marble.

“My office?”

“Yes, you said to renovate everything to the highest level and to make it as comfortable as possible.”

“Even burdensome things like this… .”

Miya’s eyes widen at the gorgeous procession she sees.

“Who are you employed by?”

She was shocked to hear that she was a servant of the princess, something she had never seen before in her life.

He hid the ashtray with his quick hands like a thief cat.
