Became the Escort Knight That the Princesses Were Obsessed With

98. Emperor’s Lunchbox (1)

Irina slowly rubbed her soft cheek against my collarbone.

Thanks to this, our skins intertwined and our body odors mixed together.

She left her own scent on my body.

After that, she shyly stood up and looked up at me.

“….”

As they made eye contact, Irina’s face lit up.

She hurriedly lowered her head and got away from me.

She looked helpless, as if she couldn’t understand her own actions a moment ago.

She feels like this is the first time she has this instinct.

“Well, see you later then.”

She quickly ran away from me.

Her silver ponytail danced like her tail.

Like a wolf disappearing after expressing affection in the forest.

“….”

I stared at that figure.

Then, her silver hair remaining at the nape of my neck caught my eye.

She grabbed a strand and slowly looked down.

Irina, who had kept an eye on me even in her past life.

She did not hate me when she saw me devastated from life and death on the northern front.

But this student is also involved like this.

Relationships are truly amazing.

Her hair blew in the spring breeze.

Then, she turned her head and looked at Miya, who had already arrived.

“Vale, are you there?”

Miya motioned to me from the hillside of the training ground.

Standing next to her was a person she had never seen before.

“Greetings, this is a reporter covering the imperial family.”

A young man wearing a hunting cap.

He put his fist to his left chest and bowed formally.

“Nice to meet you, Lord Bale. “This is reporter Victor.”

“Yes. “What is happening to me?”

Reporters authorized by the imperial family to report.

They were famous for reporting many big stories happening in the capital.

“You became the first Subangsa company to be ranked high in the article evaluation for the first half of this year, right?”

Victor smiled broadly and took out his notepad and pen.

And, he spoke with sparkling blue eyes.

“I would like to have a light interview regarding this.”

“I don’t know if it’s worth covering because the evaluation scores are good.”

When I smiled shyly, the imperial reporter nodded and told me not to worry.

“Ah… I understand.”

He showed his notepad to Bale.

Then he flashed his fingers and showed several articles.

“Currently, even though the empire is about to be founded, there is no good news.”

Indeed, most of the material he wrote down was trivial.

“Of course, there is good news that His Majesty the Emperor will be able to open his eyes soon….”

He held his notepad towards himself again.

And then, he tapped his pen on a blank page and spoke.

“Wouldn’t you feel better if you heard at least some good news when you wake up?”

Are you planning on using me and your seniors to create a festive atmosphere?

There is nothing good about being featured in breaking news like this for no reason.

Because they are in the position of organizing a secret knighthood to assassinate the crown prince.

So, it is better to refuse….

I turned my head briefly.

Then, Miya looked up at me earnestly like Puss in Boots.

Her eyes, filled with anticipation of making her name known in the newspaper, pierced through me.

‘Ha….’

“Your Majesty, the emperor who will soon awaken, will be delighted that two such sturdy knights have emerged from Subangsa Temple, which is famous for its laziness.”

Victor also spoke with earnest eyes.

“Yes, I understand. Instead, let’s keep it simple.”

Miya, holding both of her hands, raised the corners of her mouth wide when she heard my permission.

And first, I faithfully agreed to an interview with the reporter.

Her appearance confidently talking about her family name and achievements.

I watched it leisurely.

“Now… Now it is Lord Bale’s turn.”

Victor had already heard about the evaluation from Miya, so she only asked me personal questions.

Who is the teacher, what is the secret to Subangsa’s grades, etc….

However, in the end, he did not receive a satisfactory answer.

My story of growing up as a commoner through battlefield experience was not that interesting.

“Then, let me ask you the last question.”

“Yes, try anything.”

Ask about Baeknal.

Because you will never be able to hear the answer you want.

I quietly closed my eyes and leisurely waited for his question.

Because I was planning on avoiding any questions like a snarky snake.

But….

“Lord Veil is as handsome as you can see….”

Contrary to my thoughts, the reporter’s question was truly absurd.

“By any chance, what is your ideal type?”

“My ideal type… ?”

When I asked again, Victor raised the corner of his mouth.

The experienced reporter threw a dagger at me, who had so far slyly avoided all the questions.

“Yes, the style of the woman I like.”

Then I noticed a small gold badge attached to the inside pocket of his jacket.

And, that badge….

It was Mark, an honorary reporter from Samad, the eastern part of the capital.

‘Could it be that Lydia is investigating me…? ?’

“Hmm….”

When I heard those words, I pursed my lips.

I didn’t particularly think Victor’s question was rude.

It’s just that I’ve never thought about what my ideal type is.

I spent my whole life at the front.

I have tasted the blood of my enemies more than alcohol.

How could I know about this woman?

“Well….”

When I hesitated to answer, Victor helped me.

“You know that. Ah, I want to marry this person. I want to be your husband. “That kind of style.”

His sly eyes.

It’s similar to the look I gave to the princesses.

Because she is a woman….

Let me recall my memories with the women I have met.

「I will make you depend on me even more from now on.」

「I guessed you first.」

「I should take responsibility for embracing a part of my body, right?」

“….”

Just thinking about these memories makes me dizzy and takes my breath away.

Thanks to those memories, I couldn’t help but laugh.

“If I had to choose…. “He must be a family man.”

I answered with a smile.

As a person who is the opposite of those memories.

“Ho… Because it’s homely. “Could you please elaborate a little more?”

“Well, it’s just like other men. “He’s the type of person who prepares me a packed lunch and greets me with a bright smile when I get home from work.”

Victor nodded his head the whole time he listened.

And, I wrote down everything I said in great detail.

“Hmm – okay. A homely and kind type…. Lunch box….”

To the point where the blue eyes sparkle.

‘No, is this really that important?’

“Are you satisfied with this?”

I asked Victor angrily.

Then, the reporter smiled broadly and nodded his head.

“Yes, I am very satisfied with the detailed information!”

The man covered the note with all his might as if showing off.

And then, he said as he put it in his arms.

“You can look forward to good news coming soon!”

“Yes, whatever. “I look forward to it.”

I answered the reporter indifferently.

And then, I looked at him heading east.

“Well, nothing much will happen.”

Thinking about that, I sighed deeply.

But….

I will soon regret the interview I did today.

This small spark caught the eye of the awakened emperor.

「――――――.」

A few days later.

A freshly reported, warm newspaper arrived at an office in the eastern part of the country.

And, he placed himself on a luxurious desk with a leopard pattern on it.

The slender and soft fingers that pick up the newspaper.

The owner of the finger read the text leisurely.

“The Capital Defense Knights, who were suspected of neglect of duty, received the best knight in the evaluation….”

Soft and moist lips that hold a teacup.

After taking a sip of the adult-like Oriental coffee, the corners of his mouth turned up with a grin.

“My ideal type is a family woman….”

Lydia showed her newspaper and rested her chin on the back of her hand.

And then, with her red eyes sparkling, she spoke alone.

“A friendly type who brings packed lunches?”

The princess put down the teacup.

She then narrowed her eyes as she looked at the newspaper.

“Despite her skills, you have very cute thoughts, Bale Mikhail.”

Lydia lightly folded the newspaper she had finished reading.

Afterwards, she carelessly threw it in the trash can and said.

“Just as her mother said. “All men are just children.”

The monarch of the East smiled mischievously.

And then, he proudly stood up from his desk and shouted.

“Hello.”

Her bloody words.

Following those words, the office door opened.

The knights of the East who had been waiting in advance enter in a line.

They have a humble expression saying they will do anything for the princess.

“Today I will give you a very important command.”

The men lowered their heads and swallowed deeply.

Waiting for orders from her master.

And, the name is….

“Take me to the best chef in the capital right now.”

Chef.

Knights who thought they would receive noble missions such as capturing the continent’s demons or escorting important people.

“He’s a quiet guy who won’t get caught even if you secretly visit him.”

They looked puzzled when told to visit the chef.

However, he immediately obeyed the order as if responding to the monarch’s murderous gaze.

The place where the knights arrived was a small restaurant run by a chef who was a former imperial chef.

Arriving in the quiet northeastern part of the capital, menacing men from the east stormed in.

“W-what brought you here…?” ?”

Mancini, the chef facing the fierce Eastern Knights.

He was just 30 years old and trembled under the cruel gaze of his men.

However, that was just the beginning.

The red-eyed beast soon began walking between the knights.

Although he was obviously much shorter than himself, the energy he gave off was like that of a general.

“Are you Manchi, the disciple of the previous imperial chef?”

“Yes, that’s right. Her Royal Highness….”

Mancini knelt on the restaurant floor.

Then he bowed his head and had an audience with the daughter of the conquering king.

“How did you come to such a squalid place? .”

The young chef asked cautiously.

Then, at that moment.

Boom!

I was startled by the sound of the knight hitting the floor with his spear.

“Hey… !”

The 3rd princess slowly approaches him.

She crossed her arms alone and looked down at her man and asked.

“You….”

My pigtails are fluttering.

However, the chef feels that even the rustle is like a strong wind.

He closed his eyes tightly and waited for the princess’s command.

And, at that moment….

“Teach me how to cook.”

“Yes… ?”

My eyes fluttered at the princess’s unexpected command.

“Why? “Do you not want to teach me?”

Lydia narrowed her eyes and questioned her chef.

Then, her man hastily shook his head.

“It can’t be! “Of course I will obey your orders.”

After hearing the satisfactory answer, the princess smiled.

“Don’t worry too much. Because there is nothing this body can’t do. “Do you think cooking would be more difficult than managing the state of an empire?”

Lydia held her face straight and headed toward her kitchen.

Then I stopped at the sound of someone coming from inside.

“What is it? “I heard that you are running the store alone.”

The princess made a disapproving expression.

Because it was top secret that I was trying to learn how to cook.

So, she chose Mancini over other chefs.

It was obvious that if this fact became known to the public, it would become a laughing stock, so she tried to proceed in secret.

The princess glared fiercely at her chef when she heard a rustling sound coming from inside her.

“Yeah, that’s true, but… “There is another person who is learning from me.”

“What… ?”

Lydia furrowed her eyebrows and headed toward her kitchen.

I plan on kicking out whoever is inside right away.

But.

This is what I saw when I entered the kitchen.

It was a very familiar silver hair.

“What, what…?” ?”

Irina stirring egg water with her face covered in flour.

She must have already had a hard time, and her apron was covered in white powder.

“Lydia… ?”

Irina faces her youngest sister.

Her hair stood on end as she was embarrassed to show such an embarrassing side of herself.

“… “

The princesses glare at each other through the smoke of flour.

Thanks to this, the atmosphere of the restaurant became more solemn.
