Became the Escort Knight That the Princesses Were Obsessed With

77. Organizing the family (2)

The sky has already become dark.

I arrived in the eastern part of the capital in the early evening.

I entered the magnificent imperial palace proudly.

The soldiers saw my silhouette and raised their spears as if in warning.

But.

As the face got closer, it returned to its upright posture.

“Thank you all for your hard work.”

Is it because he already has a reputation as a teacher of Tau?

They started showing courtesy to me, whether I was a junior or not.

“What brought you here?” .”

An Eastern knight asks me carefully.

I slowly approached him with my back to him and said,

“I came to see Her Highness Lydia, but has she gone back to bed?”

“No, you will still be in the garden.”

If it’s a garden, it must be the empress’s secret garden that I visited a few days ago.

“I’d like to meet you for a moment, is that okay?”

I pointed to the imperial palace lobby with my finger and said.

Then, the guard knights nodded calmly.

“He told me to open the way whenever Lord Veil comes.”

They backed away from the gate.

Thanks to this, I was able to enter and exit the palace comfortably as if it were my home.

“Thank you.”

A new driver looking at me suspiciously from behind.

He looked displeased at the fact that I, a mere defense engineer, was receiving preferential treatment over him.

“No matter how you look at it, you look like a junior, should we bow our heads…?” ?”

“He is someone who has earned the trust of Her Highness the Princess. Besides, since you are Senior Tau’s teacher, please be polite.”

The successor pursed his lips.

He was well aware of Tau’s reputation among the Eastern Knights, so he eventually agreed.

“Okay….”

Meanwhile, I passed through a long hallway and arrived at the secret garden.

The fragrant scent of grass can be felt from the entrance.

I quietly stepped into the grass, smelling that scent.

And, at that moment.

The familiar sound of a woman sighing began to be heard beyond her bushes.

“Haaa….”

I stepped back for a moment and watched Lydia sitting at the garden table.

A few days ago, the table was full of dinner, but now it is full of documents.

The princess was sitting in front of him and reviewing various state affairs taking place in the East.

“This month, there have already been 10 accidents that occurred in bars…. I guess I should ban drinking or something… !”

Lydia put down her pen.

And then, alone, she stretched and yawned.

“Hmm-.”

Lips open enough to show fangs.

Soon, she raised her head and suddenly noticed a black cat sitting on the document.

“You guy. “How many times have I told you not to come and go in the imperial palace as you please?”

A guy who walks around government documents as he pleases.

Lydia raised her body to catch the cheeky cat.

“Do you know how many hundreds of people’s fates are at stake on that piece of paper you are stepping on?”

Lydia spread her hands like a leopard.

And then, she instantly rushed towards him.

“Oh… !”

However, the cat cleverly avoided it.

The guy sat down with another government document on his back and leisurely licked the top of his foot.

“You come and go as you please, just like anyone else!”

Lydia made a sullen expression.

And then, they started moving in earnest to catch the running away cat.

The cat noticed this and jumped lightly under the table.

Then it turned a corner and passed by me.

“Stand there!”

Lydia chased after him and turned the corner.

And, the moment when he stretched out his hand with an excited expression like a child.

“I’ll hold you tight so you can’t escape!”

Without realizing it, he grabbed my waist tightly.

“….”

A princess frozen as if time had stopped.

She looked up at me with fluctuating eyes.

“Veil, Veil? Why are you here….”

“Uh, that’s… “I’m here because I have something to tell you.”

I cleared my throat lightly.

Then, the youngest princess’s face turned red.

“What are you going to do if you come to the imperial palace without saying anything?”

He must have been embarrassed, so he started yelling in a loud voice.

“The princess ordered that you can come without reporting anything.”

Lydia cleared her voice, perhaps remembering the command she had given to her knights.

And then, turning her head, she said.

“Well, make sure to send Jeon Seo-gu from next time!”

The princess turned behind her and looked down at herself.

A face that has become distorted with dark circles.

After reviewing, I even put on the black one-piece pajamas to go to sleep right away.

It seems that she was quite ashamed of herself for being so defenseless.

“Why do you have to look like this? .”

Muttering quietly.

Seeing that, I raised my tiptoes and asked.

“What did you say?”

“Oh, no.”

The princess turned her head towards me again.

And, at that moment.

She was the fluffy cat she wanted to hold so badly. Her paw touched her cheek.

“We have arrested the man who dared to disturb the princess.”

“Ah….”

A little while ago, a cat passed by me.

I caught Lydia while she was turning around and brought her face in front of me.

「Grumbling….」

This guy’s big blue eyes are flashing as if he’s upset that I caught him.

But as soon as he met my lifeless black eyes, he immediately fainted.

Thanks to this, she had no choice but to offer her skinny paw to Lydia.

“After all, a knight is a knight. “How did you catch this beautiful guy?”

The princess played with her cat’s paw with her trembling hands.

She then raised her eyebrows at the soft fur and skin she felt.

“There are a lot of wild cats where I grew up, so I’m good at catching them.”

“Is that so? “For some reason, the two really look alike.”

A princess holding a cat in her arms.

She smiled softly as she petted him.

“Yes? “You say I look like a cat?”

I asked with a puzzled expression.

However, the princess did not answer the question and simply turned her head.

“No, I’m just talking to myself.”

And then he leisurely returned to the table with a sober expression.

“So, what brings you here? “At this late hour.”

Lydia sat on her leather chair, holding the cat.

She then spoke as she organized the documents with footprints with one hand.

“This is a very urgent matter.”

“It’s urgent…. Is there a war going on somewhere?”

I sat across from her.

Then, in her arms, she handed over a copy of the prince’s instructions received from Ekina and said,

“If you say war, it could be war. “It’s a rebellion that will occur in the east.”

Lydia read the contents of her instructions.

Then he frowned and spoke.

“Hakeem…. “You’re about to cause another accident.”

An eastern monarch who already had little trust in his own kin.

She carelessly laid down her completed instructions on her table.

“Aren’t you going to punish me? “You should be able to pull out the buds now.”

Lydia shook her head at my question.

“There is not enough justification right now. “If you are arrested without clear evidence, there will be strong backlash in your home country.”

The princess’s home country is the Eastern Kingdom, Samad.

This is the kingdom where Vanessa lived before she married into the empire, and is her hometown.

Due to the tradition of preferring the eldest son, they still trust Hakim.

Thanks to this, unless there was a clear ‘justification’ for executing him or imprisoning him for life, it was impossible to prevent him from being released.

“If we don’t kill it right away, it will hide itself with even greater revenge.”

The princess’ red eyes flashed sharply.

The girl who was tired of state affairs and playing with her cat just a moment ago has long since disappeared.

“You’re saying we need a reason to completely lock him up.”

“Yeah, I’m also searching his hideout, but it’s not easy to find.”

In no time, the cat sitting on my soft thigh had fallen asleep.

“That’s strange. If it’s his hideout, it’s definitely within the territory, so you can easily find it….”

“Yes, it feels like they found out but deliberately didn’t report it.”

Lydia gently stroked the guy’s back.

Then, she spoke with murderous eyes like a conquering king.

“That means there is still an internal enemy following Hakim.”

The cat felt her life coming from her in that moment.

And then she quietly slipped away and went down to the floor.

“I want to find them and execute them right away, but there is no way.”

The monarch sighed deeply.

And, since I still didn’t know who the internal enemy was, I sighed.

“It’s not like there are no ways.”

I hinted to her like that.

Then, Lydia opens her red eyes wide.

She looked at me with puzzled eyes and asked.

“Is there even a sharp number?”

When she heard the princess’ question, she raised her finger.

Then, she pointed to the bar assault case document on the table.

“I know the tavern that this guy’s guard frequents. “After we catch him there, we will find his hideout.”

Lydia looked at my plan, which flowed smoothly, with a puzzled expression.

The look in their eyes as if they were wondering how I, a northerner, would know about that favorite bar.

I responded by placing an iron plate on her face and laughing cheerfully.

“I went to the East for a meal a few days ago. There she saw a man causing a ruckus, claiming he was Hakim’s guard.”

Lydia listened to me and crossed her arms alone.

And she stared with a sullen expression.

“….”

‘Do you really suspect that I am on the same side as Hakim? ?’

I was swallowing deeply.

The princess opened her pink lips.

“She came east alone recently?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

Surprisingly, they don’t seem to doubt me.

However, her next question caught me quite off guard.

“Why did you go to the restaurant alone when you came to my land?”

“… ?”

Is eating alone a problem?

She only stopped by for a moment on her way home after training Tau.

When I didn’t respond, Lydia pursed her lips.

And then, with her eyes wide open, she turned her head away.

“Of course, if you came to the East, you should have said hello to me and gone with me!”

“… ?”

‘If you come to the East, do you have to go together?’ ?’

“I’m sorry.”

I apologized with a shocked expression.

Then, the princess spoke quietly to me in a grumbling voice.

From Noble mtl dot com

“This is my territory, so next time you come, be sure to ask for my permission and accompany me.”

“I understand.”

I wonder if there is any need to accompany the lord.

Once she seemed upset, she nodded.

Only then did the princess return to the monarch’s eyes.

And, I even talked about the strategy I proposed.

“Anyway, this means that I found out the tavern that his guard frequents.”

“Yes, that’s right. “If you allow it, I will wait until tonight and arrest you immediately.”

The princess said she understood and gave her permission.

However, there was a condition.

“Okay, you’ll have to disguise yourself instead.”

Because I have already been to and from the eastern part of the country, my face is somewhat known in the eastern part of the country.

If the internal enemy had revealed my identity to Hakim, I would have been caught right away if I went barefoot.

“I understand. “I have black hair anyway, so it shouldn’t be that difficult.”

I stood up as if responding.

Then, I was about to leave to buy clothes to disguise myself.

I stopped suddenly as the princess gently grabbed my sleeve.

“And, take me with you.”

“Yes… ? It’s not possible. “How can you take Her Royal Highness to a place where something unexpected could happen?”

I persuaded her as calmly as I could.

However, the princess refuted me with her serious eyes.

“Even if you are lucky enough to catch Hakim, if there are no witnesses, you will not be able to persuade the kingdom’s officials.”

She snapped her fingers.

Then, the two servants who had been waiting in the distance slowly approached.

In their hands were robes for going out and chadors to cover their faces and hair.

“So, if I come forward as a decisive witness, the old people of the kingdom will have nothing to do!”

The princess stretched out both her hands.

Her servants began dressing her in robes that had been enchanted to reduce her awareness.

“But, no. “Please put Tauna Bashu on it instead.”

I shook my head firmly.

Whatever happens to her, I would also be in trouble if she were to be taken hostage.

However, Lydia did not hesitate.

Instead, she held my wrist tightly and her red eyes flashed under her robe.

“Didn’t you promise me?”

“What do I promise?”

I tilted my head.

Then, the princess smiled and gently shook the robe she was wearing.

“When you come to my territory, be sure to accompany me.”

The princess spins around me, wearing a robe like a witch.

Thanks to this, I remembered the order Lydia gave me a while ago and snorted.

“Okay, let’s go together.”

The princess glanced back at me, who had no choice but to agree.

He grins like a devil and thinks he has conquered me.

As if punishing that sight, I also raised the corners of my mouth with a grin.

“Then, shall we start by creating a fake identity?”

Then the princess started saying something unexpected.

“Let’s call them brother and sister. “I am the ‘older brother’ and the princess is the younger brother.”

Oppa.

The princess’s red eyes flashed like a cat’s at those two embarrassing letters.

“What… what?”

I only called Hakim that bastard or that bastard.

A big brother to an escort driver who is only a year older than you.

Her lips parted at the sudden words that came to her, leaving her speechless.

“Well, what should I do? “We are young men and women, and we have no particular status other than lovers or siblings.”

I left her alone and turned her head indifferently.

And she said, raising the corners of her mouth with a grin.

“You wouldn’t dare disguise yourself as a lover with the princess, would you?”

‘You probably understand by now.’

This is Lydia, who has had strong pride since her past life.

If you make a comment like this, she will have no choice but to back off on her own.
