75. Surprise Visit (4)

When the topic of money came up, Camilla became an embarrassed girl.

“Work… Ten, hundred….”

The number of zeros written on the check.

It was an amount close to two years’ worth of her annual salary.

“Now, wait a minute! 10,000 Gold?! “Are you lying now?”

Camilla’s eyes darted back and forth.

She folded her hands together and didn’t know what to do.

“No. “This is the official amount given to me by the Imperial Chancellor.”

I looked down with cold eyes at the young genius who was confident in his own strength and had great momentum.

“Where is 10,000 gold for a mere defense engineer? “Aren’t you just making it up because there is no evidence?”

The vice-captain’s dignified manner of speaking has long since disappeared.

I looked around the office with an excited face like any other girl my age.

But she soon notices.

She said that the office she saw was also very fancy for a mere defense engineer.

“Oh… ?”

Beautiful marble tiles on the floor.

And Samid leopard skin.

Even the platinum-colored table and golden vase were much more luxurious than her own office.

Finally, she was greeted by the imperial treasured sword that hung proudly on her wall.

“What, what…?” . Surely the building seen from the outside was on the verge of collapsing?”

It is worth being embarrassed.

For me, I still burst into laughter every time I come into the office.

But, what can we do?

All of this is a gift from the princesses.

“I come from a humble background, but I like good manners.”

‘Life is real, kid.’

When I grinned, a black shadow appeared under my forehead.

“As you can see, I now own more than I could afford.”

Thanks to you, the face looks like a sinister treacherous traitor.

When Camilla saw that face, she started to get scared.

Even though I know a lot about war, I don’t know anything about money because I’m only 20 years old.

“Ah, no matter how good the people are, how can a commoner knight live like this…” .”

“So you’re saying you can’t pay it back?”

I tilted my head and cut off Camilla’s words.

And, she said, pointing to the Thorman clan and the Tau, who had been watching this entire moment.

“There are already too many witnesses.”

Especially Tau.

Since he is a person who has a bad relationship between the Imperial Knights and her, he will unconditionally make statements unfavorable to her.

“….”

Camilla, who knew this, could not help but become more anxious.

Then she sighed and finally opened her mouth.

“Okay….”

Camilla flopped down on the soft sofa that Leah had bought her.

She then had her buttocks half-sucked and she had a depressed expression.

“As soon as my salary comes in this year, I will send it to you…. So this is….”

I was finally recognized by the crown prince and rose to the position of vice-captain.

Reporting an accident like this so early in her tenure would destroy her credibility.

To prevent this, Camilla will somehow try to cover up the accident with money.

Now, it’s time to throw a ‘carrot’ to her.

“H-what do you mean?”

I sat next to the depressed young Sword Saint.

And with her palms joined together, she smiled like a wealthy merchant.

“If you give me all your salary, how will you live in the meantime?”

“Well, I don’t really have anywhere to spend money….”

Camilla twitched her fingers like a girl with no sense of money.

“Uh huh…. “You can’t do that.”

I raised my finger.

And, like her father, she urged very firmly.

“Don’t you know how expensive water prices are? “If you take money so easily at a young age, you will quickly become a beggar.”

When Camilla heard my yelling, she looked up at me blankly.

“Besides, if you are the vice-leader, do you have a lot of money to spend – do you have company dinners for members? Do you give performance bonuses?”

A nagging voice that feels like an old imperial knight commander.

The vice-captain was fed up with this and spoke as if he was being pampered.

“Well, then what are you going to do with me?”

She covered her face with both her hands.

He easily cut down the enemy enemy, which was originally several times larger than him.

For the first time in my life, I met an enemy called ‘10,000 Gold’ and was scared.

“I will introduce you to a ‘job’ that is good for paying back money.”

I quietly whispered to her.

Then, the young sword saint lifted her covered face.

“It’s a good job?”

Her face started to turn red, wondering what she was imagining.

“Dae, what on earth are you trying to make me do?”

Camilla swallowed her saliva deeply.

Then, as she hurriedly looked down at her body, she asked.

‘What, why is it acting like that all of a sudden?’

“It’s an ulterior motive. “It’s just a very simple pastime.”

Her I reassured her with her innocent smile.

Then, she got up from her seat and made a suggestion.

“Please follow me. “It’s a very legitimate and solid side hustle.”

Camilla eventually got up to her feet.

She then jumped out of her office with her outer wall collapsing.

“Hey, just think of something strange, I’ll cut off your head right away!”

The Tau and Thorman clans looked at Camilla following me like a criminal.

The situation has completely changed since I came a little while ago.

Since this was a situation they had already experienced, she smiled and focused on training and garden work again.

「―――.」

Meanwhile, the 2nd Princess’ Knights were busy training her candidates in her prime.

Before she knew it, the number of candidates had reached nearly 50.

Talented people from all over flocked to her due to the rumor that she could be taught directly by Princess Howie.

“Your voice is small! “Perform 1000 cutting movements!”

「Implementation!!」

The students are strong because they have mastered the basics well.

Allen stood in a line and looked at them with wonder as they brandished her wooden sword.

“Now I need to teach you how to use mana….”

The 81st official knight selection ceremony will be held in two months.

He was having a hard time because of the upcoming competition.

“Should we hire a new instructor?”

If children become stronger, it is definitely a good thing, but the more they do, the more they need to be taught in detail, one by one.

However, it was impossible for Allen to teach dozens of people alone.

“Damn, when will my Sword Master be ready?” !”

The man who went from being a fool to becoming a full-fledged instructor sighed deeply.

And while she was staring blankly at the entrance to the training ground….

I frowned at the faint feeling of strong mana.

“What is it? Is it really that Veil guy?”

Allen looked at the gate carefully.

Then the moment the door opens.

I frowned.

Because she was not an unlucky teacher, but a girl who showed up.

“… !”

A brilliant white uniform and short golden hair.

He looks downcast with a shameful expression.

And next to her….

I was standing there feeling happy, like an angler who had caught a big catch.

“Greetings, I am the vice-captain of the Imperial Knights.”

“What… ? “The imperial vice-captain?”

Allen, who didn’t know anything about her because he was only at her training ground, noticed her eyes flashing.

However, he was not the only one who was surprised.

Imperial Vice-Captain.

Students flocked like a flock of ducks upon hearing that high-ranking title.

“Tuesday, the imperial vice-captain came here?”

“What happened?”

The children surrounded us with their eyes wide open.

Camilla cleared her throat as if embarrassed by the enormous fame.

“Hey, vice-captain. “As expected, he is very popular.”

“Everyone, shut up…” . What they’re bringing in is just a new knight corps. “Who are you trying to treat as an instructor?”

Camilla looked up at me with an angry expression.

“The children are watching, vice-captain. “Please be considerate of her harsh words.”

“Ugh….”

Children looking up at themselves with innocent faces.

Seeing that, Camilla finally lost her cool.

“You’re the newly appointed person!”

“They said you were a hero who cut down dozens of enemy soldiers on the southern front!”

A young swordsman who was thirsty for recognition.

She had no idea what to do with her body and her own popularity.

“That… “Not dozens, but hundreds.”

Then, she corrected the children’s words with a sober expression.

“Oh wow… !! “As expected, it’s amazing!”

Camilla was alone with her arms crossed and her eyes closed. She

And she enjoyed the voices of children looking up at her in wonder.

“Hmm.”

But, the joy is short-lived.

Hearing the noise of the noisy training ground, the second princess of the empire appeared.

“Veil… ? “What happened without any contact?”

A silver-haired princess wearing a noble platinum-colored dress.

She approached me in a friendly way and spoke.

“You shouldn’t have contacted me when you came. “I would have prepared some tea.”

“No. “I have to go soon.”

Camilla looked puzzled at the princess and me standing close to each other.

No matter how much they know each other, it’s hard to believe that a defense engineer or something like that is so close to the royal family.

She, who had only been on the battlefield so far, was dumbfounded by the situation in the capital, which was beyond her common sense.

“This person here is the imperial vice-captain.”

“Nice to meet you, Sir Camilla.”

Irina said with a grin.

The smile of a beautiful silver-haired princess.

When Camilla saw that smile, her lips parted and she could not say anything.

This is my first time seeing Her Majesty the Princess so closely.

From Noble mtl dot com

“The vice-captain said he wanted to teach the young knights of the empire.”

“Oh my, is that really true?”

Irina covered her lips with her hand and flashed her green eyes.

“Yes, I came to personally introduce you to Irina to repay your ‘great faith’.”

I looked down at Camilla with the expression of a very noble knight.

“Right? Camilla?”

“….”

The young Geomseong kept his mouth shut in response to my question.

Then, she ended up nodding her head as the princess looked at her earnestly.

“Yes… “I came here to help young students.”

Irina raised the corners of her mouth.

And then, she held both of Camilla’s hands together with a faint smile.

“Thank you so much, vice-captain.”

“Nothing much to say….”

Looking at the royal family’s jade body.

Camilla looked quite embarrassed by that gentle touch.

“Princess, would you please lend her ears for a moment?”

I approached the happy princess.

And then, he whispered secretly.

“Actually, the vice-captain owes me a debt. “Could you please pay the instructor’s fees separately?”

“Hey, with something like that. Of course I should give it to you.”

Irina waved her hand lightly.

And. She promised Camilla a reasonable amount.

“I will give you 800 gold every month, for a total of 10,000 gold per year. “Is this okay?”

A generous amount befitting a princess.

Although she was not at an unconventional level like the 1st and 3rd princesses, she was a blessing to Camilla.

“Well, that much?”

“Of course-. Instead, you must ‘continue’ to work as an instructor for two years.”

Irina narrowed her eyes.

And then, she put her palms together with a cruel smile like mine.

“If the teacher suddenly changes, the children will also be in trouble.”

It looked as if her tail had grown out from under the hem of her dress.

And, I even saw myself applauding this.

“Now, for two years from now, Camilla, you will be appointed as an instructor of the Knights of Verdant.”

Camilla, who was attacked by her twosome, ended up signing her contract without thinking.

“Okay, well… please. Princess.”

“Please take care of me too, Vice Captain Camilla. Let’s do well in the future.”

I happily looked down at the young Sword Saint from behind.

Camilla still knows nothing about the crown prince’s plot.

In times like this, if you increase her favorability with the princesses….

Later, when he causes the purge, he will be tormented by guilt.

Maybe I can persuade them and get them on the same side.

“Don’t worry, vice-captain. You only work on weekends, and it will be reported to your superiors as volunteer work, so the crown prince will look at it favorably.”

Since she didn’t have anything to do in the first place, wouldn’t Camilla have been wandering around all this time?

She is putting idle, high-quality human resources to good use.

“Ugh….”

Camilla silently signed the contract.

Thanks to this, Irina’s knights finally obtained a sword master.
