Became the Escort Knight That the Princesses Were Obsessed With

22 – 22. Sweet Trap (2)

“Do you mean time?”

The 1st princess’s proposal to live alone.

The suggestion sent a chill down my spine.

Leah smiled and placed her hand on the table.

Then he frowned and asked gently.

“Why, are you afraid to talk to me alone?”

He says the obvious so eloquently.

What kind of knight would live alone with a princess?

“no. Would you use it if you were afraid of the one you were supposed to protect?”

“Oh, so you mean you want to protect me?”

Hwang Sil-seok becomes quiet after her words.

The other two princesses looked at me intently.

“Unfortunately, the body sacrificed to the entire country. “I think it will be difficult to serve just one person, Her Royal Highness.”

I tried to smile.

He then pointed at Leah’s guards with his palm and spoke calmly.

“Besides, don’t you already have many knights better than me?”

Praise and reject at the same time.

Leah smiled slightly as if she was surprised by the flexible response.

“I heard that you come from a commoner background, but your speech is almost the same as that of a noble.”

I followed her and raised the corners of my mouth.

Of course, I spent 5 years in the imperial family in my previous life.

“That’s right, I already have a lot of great knights.”

Leah grabbed the teacup.

And then I started putting sugar cubes inside.

“but… .”

many.

“The more troops you have, the better, right?”

a lot.

Soon a sweet scent rises from the teacup.

Leah slowly savored the scent with her eyes half closed.

“Isn’t that right?”

I kept my mouth shut in response to her question.

1st princess, Leah.

Twenty-four this year.

As a strategist who has won many political battles so far, he never lost a single word.

When I saw that, I sighed deeply.

“All right. “I cannot go against Her Highness’s orders.”

Now that things are like this, we have no choice but to face each other head-on.

Anyway, no matter what you suggest, they will respond with an iron wall.

“Where should I go?”

Leah slowly got up.

Thanks to this, her whole body can be seen at a glance.

The princess came wearing a sophisticated dress, contrary to her usual demure image.

White fabric that makes the body stand out.

He pointed down the hallway in that adult-like outfit.

“I have a parlor prepared for you. Let’s go there and talk.”

I got up and followed her.

Then he glanced at the other two princesses.

Irina is nervous.

She also looks like she doesn’t know what Leah’s purpose is.

Same goes for Lydia.

He had his arms crossed alone, as if he was suspicious of the 1st princess, and had a serious expression on his face.

“Bale, are you okay? “If you want to refuse, just refuse.”

“So, what is it that takes a civil service engineer?”

The two princesses glared at Leah as if she were a witch.

A repeated battle of wits.

I was exhausted and spoke politely to them.

“It’s okay, I just want to ask you something. I’ll be right back.”

Empty hallway.

It’s quiet, as if it was controlled in advance.

Leah walked leisurely there and stopped in front of a luxurious stone door.

“This way.”

It’s a suspicious space at first glance.

Moreover, a strange scent flowed from inside.

“Don’t worry, it’s just a simple reception room with only mana blocked.”

The door opened.

There was only one table and two chairs.

“Is this a room where the royal family chats behind each other?”

Leah covered her mouth with her delicate hand and laughed.

As if he also loved it.

“All right.”

It definitely feels like my mana is blocked when I enter the room.

Still, there doesn’t seem to be anything particularly threatening.

The door was closed.

In the end, I was locked in a secret room alone with the first princess.

“Now, let’s have one more drink while we’re at it.”

Leah approached the table in the corner of the room.

And skillfully boiled the kettle.

“Come on, sit down. You’re wondering why I called you, right?”

I sat down on the chair with a nervous heart.

A kettle starting to boil.

However, Leah did not turn off the fire.

I just stared at the steam rising from the kettle.

“It smells good, right?”

“yes… “This is my first time smelling this scent and it’s really nice.”

Leah touched the steam with her delicate fingers.

And they fanned the flames and spread it far and wide.

“My mother told me. “It is said to be the scent that charmed the white lion of the empire a long time ago.”

White Lion of the Empire.

It is the nickname of the emperor who was the conqueror.

Could this mean that it was actually the scent that put him to sleep?

“My mother was called the ‘Witch of the South.’ “He was good at handling incense and magic.”

Leah gathered her hair.

Then begin to gently tie it to one side.

Thanks to this, the clear nape of my neck was revealed.

There was a black dot on the nape of the neck.

“That’s how my mother married the white lion and protected Echina. “Even though it’s like a puppet country.”

Leah held the kettle and slowly approached me.

Then he leaned down and made eye contact with me.

“Because you were pretty. A lot for a witch.”

Stylish dress.

Her breasts stand out due to her bowing down.

The scent of figs rising from there.

The scent mixed with the smell of tea made me dizzy.

“Thanks to you, my daughter, I also have similar talents.”

I frowned.

It was only as I got closer that I realized the identity of this scent.

Silver Rose.

It is originally a magic candle used in confession magic.

‘How could the princess do this…? .’

“I guess you’ve noticed it?”

Leah came closer to me as I became dazed.

Before I knew it, the way he spoke to me changed.

“Did you dare ruin my sparring and think you could escape the party safely?”

The noble princess’ appearance has long since disappeared.

She speaks to me with a sensual face like a queen.

“It’s no use struggling. “This room is already full of my guards.”

From noble mtl dot com

Leah pushed her hair over her ear.

Thanks to this, a stronger scent rose from her.

“Come on, Veil. Would you like to tell me now?”

The princess bent her knees and was at eye level with me.

Then he pressed my cheek with his finger and asked.

“Why did you interrupt my sparring by ruining the stage?”

I didn’t answer that question right away.

Instead, he pressed deeply on his fingers, which gradually became numb.

Prick your fingernail and make it bleed.

Soon, red blood began to drip from the torn thumb.

Thanks to this, the hazy hypnotic effect gradually subsided.

“I’m just tired of things getting bigger.”

A clear answer given by a sane person.

Leah’s dead eyes widen at the answer.

“what… “Because it’s annoying?”

“Yes, if the VIPs get hurt, it’s my responsibility as a defense engineer.”

Leah smoothed her chin.

Then, in the end, he slowly nodded his head in agreement.

“Why did you hide that you were a sword master?”

“It’s because I don’t want to get involved with the imperial family.”

Is it because I am completely different from the ambitious person I imagined?

Leah was speechless.

“Well, what… ? “Why do you not like it?”

“I thought it would be a hassle if we got involved.”

Leah’s eyes fluttered as she heard the repeated words ‘it’s annoying’.

Because there has never been anyone in my life who rejected me for such a trivial reason.

“No, then the reason you rejected me during the appointment ceremony was just because you were annoying?”

Leah’s hair, tied back, sticks out.

A face of resentment that he didn’t usually show.

The corner of my mouth almost twitched at that face.

“That’s right.”

“I didn’t ask this time!”

“All right.”

When things didn’t go as planned, Leah’s white face turned red.

“Choi, was the hypnosis weak? I’m sure I followed my mom’s recipe… .”

Pursed red lips.

It seemed like there was a deep rose scent coming from those lips.

“Okay, well… If you have ambition, you can keep it by your side and nurture it little by little… .”

The princess immediately lowered her face to mine.

And he spoke firmly, as if making a decision.

“good… “Then this is the final command.”

Are your true feelings finally coming out?

I swallowed deeply at her solemn face.

Are you thinking of forcing me to follow you?

Or, they may tell you to leave the capital because it is intrusive.

To Leah, a powerful person who doesn’t follow her is just a thorn in her eyes.

Soon her red lips parted.

The princess looked at me as if she were looking at a mirror and asked.

“Maybe these days… “Is there anything else that bothers you?”

My eyebrows almost twitched at the completely unexpected question.

What is the purpose of this… ?

Is this also a highly deliberate move?

“You mean something that bothers you?”

He asked stiffly, as if in hypnosis.

At that question, Leah covers her lips and clears her throat.

“Yeah, yeah. “It’s something that keeps coming to mind or something that bothers my eyes.”

Leah stuttered nervously.

Are you trying to figure out exactly whose side I am on among the royal family?

The answer to this question may cause the princess’s attitude to change 180 degrees.

As an enemy or as an ally.

Now it’s my turn to make a decision.

I answered, sounding as hypnotized as possible.

“there is.”

Is this the answer you were hoping for?

Only then did Leah put a smile on her face.

“okay? “Who on earth is that?”

The first princess came close to me and looked down at me.

With blue eyes without guns, the princess asked back as if she was confident of victory.

“That’s it… .”

“as soon as… ?”

The princess asked back as if she was confident of victory.

Lydia too.

Not Irina either.

Waiting for his name to come out of my mouth.

“ostrich… .”

The answer you wanted.

Leah smiled brightly like a girl.

And he gently stroked my cheek like he was treating an animal.

“Yes, of course you should! “Because I am much superior to half-baked people and clans from the frontier.”

However, her touch soon stopped.

Because I’m not finished talking yet.

“The princess… “The leather sofa you bought me.”

The sound of the kettle boiling has gone off.

Eventually, the secret room became as quiet as ever.

Leah’s already pale face turned white.

The area under her eyes is fluttering.

“Well, so… “Are you saying you like that damn sofa I bought you better than me?”

Leah’s face turned as red as my blood flowing from her fingers.

Soon she started shaking like a boiling kettle.

“this… “How dare this commoner mock the princess?”

The 1st princess grabbed my collar.

“no. I really like the sofa… .”

“Shut your mouth!”

The princess pushed me back onto the chair she had grabbed.

Thanks to this, my body ended up lying helplessly on the sheet.

“You’re throwing away the opportunity that came your way… .”

The princess huffed and grabbed the teacup.

And unlike when I pretended to be noble, I drank it refreshingly.

“Did you turn your head from swinging your sword all the time?”

Thanks to this, water droplets dripped onto her chest.

Leah was so angry that she closed her dress tightly.

And without hesitation, he starts heading towards the exit.

“I wasted my time, thinking of investing in such an idiot!”

The sound of the princess’s shoes clacking becomes distant.

Soon the princess slammed the drawing room door shut.

“Her Royal Highness, are you okay? The complexion… .」

“It’s okay, so call a carriage quickly. “There is no reason to be here anymore.”

Maybe it was because she was so excited, but she couldn’t keep her tone of voice even outside.

He just left the imperial palace with rough steps.

Afterwards, when the sound of her feet disappeared completely.

I slowly opened my eyes.

And he lightly shook off the dress shirt that Leah was holding.

“It definitely has a strong scent.”

I look down at my thumb.

Before I knew it, black blood had formed on the wound.

The reason why the blood drops turn black is simple.

Because Leah’s confession magic substance was released together.

In the past, he had fought against the crown prince’s shaman, so he knew about the law of destruction a long time ago.

I shook off my sore fingers.

And then he leisurely returned to the banquet hall.

“The sofa was sincere… .”
