Became the Escort Knight That the Princesses Were Obsessed With

9 – 9. An office is created (3)

“No, that’s ridiculous. “You can’t just leave something so precious lying on the floor!”

Looper thrust the leather at me as if he couldn’t believe it.

“If this is really a gift from the princess, it’s all your fault for handling it carelessly!”

I smiled leisurely at his shouting.

“Yes. You shouldn’t treat the supplies carelessly.”

I took the leather from him.

And then it was carefully laid back on the ground.

“But what if it was being used well for its original purpose?”

Looper furrowed his eyebrows at my meaningful words.

“This has a different purpose?”

“Yes, Samid says it is polite to lay out the leopard skin in front of the front door.”

Looper’s mouth opens at the unexpected meaning of leather.

Soon he looked down blankly at the princess’s gift placed at the entrance to the office.

However, the leather was already full of dirty military boot marks.

I personally approached him, who must have been very shocked.

And then he pats my shoulder kindly.

“are you okay. “I’ll keep the fact that I broke the gift a secret.”

“Really?”

Looper raised his head so quickly that his neck shook.

“There is a condition instead.”

“condition…?”

Soon the senior’s face became cold.

He swallows deeply and waits for my offer.

“Okay, well, it’s nothing big. Let’s change positions.”

I grabbed the patrol armband from his arm.

And then he rips it off as if showing off.

“Hand over patrol duties to me.”

Patrol mission.

At first glance, it seems like a nuisance.

Because I have to wander around the northern part of the capital all morning.

However, strangely enough, most of the patrol positions are occupied by senior officers.

Actually, they had special benefits that no one could interfere with.

There is no ‘miscellaneous work’.

A patroller spends the morning hanging out at the market, then checks his patrol card and ends his day’s work.

“Why should I hand it over to you? “If you’re a newbie, of course you have to do the chores first!”

Looper muttered to himself as if he didn’t want to hand over the position he had barely been given by his seniors.

“Not if you don’t want to. Then I have no choice but to report this sad accident to the princess.”

He looks down at the leopard skin with a regretful expression.

Then, he gently stroked it with his palm, as if comforting an injured child.

“Miya-senpai, what did the secretary say about this leather earlier?”

“Princess Lydia said she chose it ‘after much deliberation’ all day.”

Miya seemed to understand my intention and naturally responded with cat-like eyes.

“Huh… Despicable child… .”

Looper clenched his molars.

“Why are you like this? You were the one who treated me dirty first, right?”

I personally rolled up the sleeves of my uniform for him who was still feeling aggrieved.

Then, several cuts and bruises on his forearm are revealed.

“If you don’t like this, you can solve it yourself by sparring. Be like a knight.”

Traces of long training.

Looper, who saw the traces, twisted his body and shuddered.

“Ahh… I understand! “You can just pass it up!”

After barely breaking free, he took a step back and stood up.

Only then did I give him a bright smile like a rookie.

“Okay then, senior. “I understand that you will be on patrol duty starting tomorrow.”

Looper didn’t respond to anything I said.

I just hold my hands tightly and head towards the front door.

“Let’s go, Miya! “It’s time to get off work soon!”

Looper kicked down the door and went out.

The sound was so loud that it echoed throughout the hallway.

“senior.”

Looper stopped walking at my firm call.

And then he slowly turned his trembling head.

“That door now. “Did you kick it?”

Is it because of learned fear?

Looper shook his head like crazy and denied it.

“no! “The wind blew and it opened hard!”

“Please be careful. “Because Princess Leia installed that door.”

Only then did Looper quickly look at the door he had kicked.

Then he rubbed it with his finger and walked out of the hallway with a embarrassed expression on his face.

While Miya was following Looper, she glanced back at me.

Then he raised the corner of his mouth and lightly waved his hand.

“See you tomorrow, Bale.”

The senior slowly closed the door instead of the roofer.

The sound of two military boots moving away.

Listening to that sound, I sat down on the sofa.

“What, that bastard came in? Do you think he got promoted by receiving some gifts from the princess?”

Looper’s faint voice is heard through the wall.

I snorted alone behind his back.

That’s right.

It’s not about success.

Because I’m just a lowly knight of the Subangsa Temple.

As time passes, these love calls will naturally disappear.

“It seems like they probably have separate beliefs. I should tell my dad and have him take care of it… .”

Even revenge wasn’t something you did in your own power… .

He was amazing even when he left.

After the popularity has completely disappeared.

I lay down completely on the sofa and closed my eyes.

“Well, the more expensive one is definitely better.”

I find myself falling asleep on the sofa, which is more comfortable than the dorm bed.

For a moment, I surrendered myself to the pouring comfort.

―――.

How much time has passed?

Darkness had already fallen in the sunset sky.

The sound of citizens leaving work.

The sound of traders pulling carts can be heard.

I suddenly opened my eyes at the sound.

The golden clock shows 8 p.m.

From noble mtl dot com

I was the type of person who didn’t normally take naps.

I can’t believe I slept for over 3 hours.

Perhaps because my body is old, I sleep a lot.

I straightened my waist and poured water into a teacup.

And the moment I stared blankly at the surface of the water.

I stopped all my actions.

Because the tea, which should have been calm, was shaken very slightly.

Looking at the office entrance.

Obviously there was no sound in the hallway.

However, it is a subtle act of popularity that gradually grows bigger.

Someone was approaching the office, intentionally making no sound.

‘Are you a knight?’

no.

What kind of knight would bother to hide his presence and approach?

‘That too for just a defense engineer.’

This is closer to a rogue or a thief.

I calmly searched through my memories.

‘Was there anyone at this time who could have sent an assassin to me?’

Then, Looper’s stupid face suddenly came to mind.

A smile came out on his face.

‘Have they already sent mercenaries?’

Planning revenge in just a few hours?

If I had that ability to act, I would have rather practiced mana.

I clicked my tongue and picked up the sword hanging on the wall.

And then quietly headed towards the entrance.

―――.

A light knocking sound.

You’ve been approaching silently until now, but now you’re knocking… .

It’s not at all suspicious.

I slowly opened the door with my hand on the scabbard.

If they attack me by surprise, I plan to counterattack immediately.

but… .

The person in front of me was very small for a mercenary.

Even I am alone without any companions.

“who are you?”

Soon the door was fully opened.

Soon, the golden chandelier hanging in the office brightly illuminates the hallway.

‘woman?’

A face covered by a white robe.

Below that, a tight-fitting blouse and skirt come into view.

A basket held gently with both hands.

The basket had its contents covered with silk.

I frowned at that sight.

Because I could feel the magic energy from the robe worn by the mysterious woman.

‘There’s a spell to reduce awareness.’

That was the reason why I couldn’t hear the footsteps a moment ago.

While calmly analyzing the opponent alone.

An unknown woman opened her mouth.

And that moment.

I let go of the sword sheath I was holding with one hand.

“I came here because the office light was still on.”

Because I knew the owner of the voice.

The woman lowered her robe with one hand.

Then, her beautiful silver hair gently flows down her chest.

“Her Royal Highness?”

I asked in a loud voice without realizing it.

Irina answers that question with a gentle smile.

“Why are you so surprised?”

“I’m sorry, I didn’t know you would come to a place like this in person.”

I bowed my head and apologized.

Then Irina laughed, covering her lips with her fist.

“are you okay. “It looked like you had been working overtime since the first day, so I stopped by to give you some encouragement.”

She leisurely enters the office carrying a basket.

It feels natural, as if it were your own home.

“Can I come in?”

He has already entered the middle of the office and asks a joking question.

I answered that question with a smile.

“of course.”

I carefully looked down the hallway and closed the door.

Did you come this far alone? ?

Irina put the basket on the table.

Then, with my back turned, I take a quick look around the office.

“The office is pretty. “I thought it would be shabby because it’s Subangsa Temple.”

“It’s thanks to the princesses’ concern.”

Irina’s expression froze when she heard the words ‘princesses.’

Soon her eyes turn to the vase on the table.

A golden rose in that bottle.

Irina tapped it with her finger.

“I see… .”

She didn’t like the rose, so she bent the branch and hid it in the bottle.

“I was thankful for yesterday.”

Irina points to the rosary placed on her chest.

I responded to her words by lowering my head.

“I just did what I had to do.”

“No, if it were other guys, they would have been bragging and talking about it, right?”

Irina smiled bitterly and sat down at the table.

Then place the basket on your lap.

“So I came here to say thank you.”

I cleared my throat and approached her.

Then he looked down at the basket the princess was carrying and asked.

“May I ask what this is?”

“Oh, this?”

Irina approached me as if she had been waiting.

Then he gently unraveled the silk covering the basket.

Red and vivid peel.

Firm and plump flesh.

‘Northern sun apple… .’

It is the capital’s representative fruit and is only available in December.

Although it is commonly found in the market, it is also famous for its good taste.

“I go to this market often. “I bought some on the way.”

I glanced down at Irina’s legs.

Slightly torn white stockings.

Even the subtle dust particles.

I still go to the market alone.

I silently accepted the apology.

The two of us were reflected in the smooth apple peel.

I used to eat it often in my past life too.

Every time I asked her to eat with me, I told her that this one was enough.

However, it was actually a lie told to save the princess’s finances.

At that time, it was so hard to even pay for food.

Irina got closer.

She turned her back and looked up at me.

The face of the princess I encountered was smiling brightly at me.

“It’s a commemorative gift for becoming an official knight.”

“thank you… .”

I lightly wiped the surface with my sleeve.

And then he took a bite and ate it in front of Irina.

‘Sweet.’

Although it is still an unripe green apple, it has a nostalgic taste.

As if I had gone back in time even for a moment.

“excuse me… You know, Veil.”

While I was savoring the taste, I turned my head when I heard her call.

Then, Irina slowly asked me while holding both of her hands together.

“Why did you choose this place instead of the imperial palace?”

A look of hurt pride.

Her pale face turned red like the apple she brought.
