26 – 26. Eastern Knights (3)

Northern part of the capital.

It is famous for being the most secluded and quiet place in the empire.

In particular, the area around the building where Bale works is the most peaceful in the North.

but… .

Since one day, there have been persistent rumors that strange crying sounds were heard there.

As if animals were screaming.

Many people were startled by that sound every time they passed nearby.

―――――.

And now.

A huge carriage heading to the center of the rumor.

When several imperialists saw the carriage, they fell to their knees in shock.

And he bowed his head until the carriage passed by.

A gorgeous carriage with all gold corners.

Inside was the 3rd princess, with her chin resting on her face with a serious expression.

“Chief Secretary.”

“Yes, Her Royal Highness.”

The secretary sitting across from me bows his head.

Then the princess asked him with a dissatisfied expression.

“Recently, Tau and Bijou keep leaving the Order every lunchtime, right?”

“Yes that’s right.”

The secretary answers calmly.

“And every time you came back, you were in complete disrepair?”

“Yes, I was covered in dust.”

Lydia took a lemon candy from the carriage table.

And he spoke with his pink lips.

“As their owner, my actions now are natural, right?”

“yes… . That’s right?”

The secretary tilted his head while answering mechanically.

And then I looked at Lydia, who was trying hard to pretend to be bothered.

The princess actually came out of the palace in person when it was supposed to be a matter of sending out an investigation team.

To be honest, I thought it was a bit excessive, but the secretary decided to understand her.

Because the princess needs a reason to go out and meet someone separately.

And now, that cause has been fulfilled through the two knights of the East.

Soon the carriage began to slow down.

Then when it came to a complete stop.

The secretary got off the carriage first.

And he quietly looked around with his unique eagle-like eyes.

However, contrary to rumors, Vail’s office building is very quiet.

In fact, it is so quiet that you can even hear birds chirping.

“What, have we arrived already?”

Lydia got up to get off.

But, at that moment.

“Whaaah!!”

A man’s cries are heard from the back of the building.

At that loud noise, the secretary hurriedly tried to close the door of the carriage where the princess was getting off.

“With greater spirit! This means achieving maximum efficiency with little mana!”

A familiar voice coming from afar.

At that voice, Lydia pushed open the door that the secretary had blocked.

“Where does that sound come from?”

“I think it’s behind the building.”

Lydia got off the carriage.

Thanks to this, her outfit is visible at a glance in the sunlight.

Unlike formal appointment ceremonies and parties, this dress is much lighter.

From noble mtl dot com

It represents her free-spirited nature well.

“Her Royal Highness, winter is not over yet. Don’t you feel cold?”

“That’s why I brought you here, right? “Hurry up and use the heating magic.”

A rather short dress that shows off the thighs.

However, the hem of the dress is long around the hips, so it covers even the calves.

Lydia proudly crossed her arms alone in that outfit.

“All right… .”

The secretary knelt down and politely cast a spell on her.

The princess walked behind the building with her arms crossed.

And I looked intently at the vegetable garden in the distance.

“Is that the workshop that Veil was talking about…? ?”

She slowly approached the garden.

The third princess was curious about what she was doing with her knights.

Her eyes widened as she saw the images of her knights becoming clearer as the distance gradually got closer.

Even the sharp extra teeth were sticking out.

“W-what… this.”

Muscles strong enough to block any arrow.

Strong legs that won’t collapse in any trouble.

The body of the perfect knight he had invested in was covered in dust.

And even holding a short hoe instead of the large spear of the East.

Lydia was mesmerized by the sight of the knights wearing straw hats and turning into farmers.

“it’s okay! “Senior, the taste of hoe is killing me today?”

“Yes, it will sprout soon!”

Farmers full of satisfaction.

They wiped the sweat from their foreheads and looked proud.

However, that expression soon disappeared.

The moment they raised their heads.

“Woe, Her Highness?!”

Because I made eye contact with Lydia.

“What on earth are you guys doing here?”

The red eyes of the youngest princess looked piercingly at the two knights.

The two knights who were struck by this hurriedly hid their hoes and bowed their heads.

“Well, that is…” .”

The stuttering junior, Bijou.

The experienced Tau came up with something plausible instead.

“Huh, training, yes, I was training!”

Just by looking at it, it looks like farming.

Training.

Lydia was alone with her arms crossed and a suspicious expression on her face.

“Hmm… “Now that’s training?”

“That’s right!”

Tau quickly rolled his eyes and looked around.

Then, I hid behind a building I came across.

He desperately asked me for help.

“Are you telling me to believe that now? These… I gave him elixir and trained him, but… !”

Lydia tried to scold them with a serious expression.

At that moment, I leisurely came out of the building and approached the princess.

“Ah, aren’t you Princess Lydia?”

A wide smile.

However, Lydia looked at that smile like a sinister treacherous traitor.

“Yes, Veil. “What on earth is going on right now?”

I glanced down at the two knights.

They were several times larger than the princess and were very nervous when their owner arrived.

‘The master-servant relationship is bloody.’

“I was teaching ‘Mana Management’ to two seniors.”

“How to use mana?”

“Yes, it’s training to make it a habit to use mana in real life and become proficient at handling it!”

I explained it to her in a clear tone like an instructor.

However, Lydia still frowned.

“Does that make sense? How can you get training in something like farming? .”

Due to her pessimistic attitude, I pointed out the secretary who had followed the princess.

“If you don’t believe me, let’s ask the secretary.”

Everyone’s attention followed my touch and focused on him.

“… .”

The secretary adjusted his monocle.

And he looked closely at the mana of the knights rolling in the garden.

“Ho… ?”

Soon the man’s mustache flashes with interest.

He took off his monocle and wiped it with silk and spoke calmly.

“I definitely feel like the mana flowing throughout my body has calmed down.”

The secretary-general is famous for being honest and silent.

Lydia looked surprised at his words.

“okay? That’s really interesting. “It wasn’t easy to save mana no matter what training I did.”

Seeing Lydia agreeing, the two knights finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Next, they asked the princess to quickly.

“That’s right. “The results of my training have been sufficient, so I will now return to the Knights.”

The knights threw down their hoes and quickly tried to get up.

Then Lydia shook her head resolutely.

“No, it was actually good. “Please continue to receive training here in the future.”

Lydia gradually opened her eyes thinly.

And he spoke to me with a mischievous smile like a devil.

“Vail, if it’s okay, may I ask you to continue guiding these children’s training?”

“Please just leave it to me. “I will make them the best in the empire.”

As if responding, I looked down at the Eastern Knights.

With a devilish smile like Lydia.

‘Of course, as the best farmer in the empire.’

This does not mean that they will not be trained at all.

Because I actually taught you how to use the right amount of mana while hoeing.

It’s not just about pampering.

They even provide fair compensation for labor.

Isn’t this what chivalry is all about?

However, Tau and Bijou do not know my deep meaning.

They looked up at me with their faces turning white.

“I… Her Royal Highness. “I think we’ve already learned enough.”

“That’s right, this is enough for me to come back!”

The two knights howled like animals.

Then, I smiled and grabbed their shoulders.

And they pressed the chicken and cow tattoos on each person.

“No, seniors. “There is still a mountain of things to learn.”

My appearance full of passion.

Lydia, satisfied with the sight, approached me leisurely.

“I like it that you take such great care of a senior from a different affiliation.”

Then he smiled and patted his shoulder.

However, the secretary, who was uncomfortable with that appearance, gave firm advice to the princess.

“Your Royal Highness, such encouragement is too much for a mere defense engineer.”

“Well, how about it? “There aren’t really any foxes spying on you right now, right?”

fox?

Are you talking about Leah and Irina?

As I thought hard, Lydia changed the topic.

“Anyway, it’s a bit chilly here. “It feels somewhat empty.”

Lydia said, touching her arm.

The secretary tilted his head at that sight.

Because he had obviously cast a warming spell on the princess.

“How dare you continue to leave the princess in a place like this?”

Lydia asked me with a strange smile.

‘Look at this.’

Are you planning to go into the office?

That’s not possible.

No matter how much a princess she is, humans are bound to keep looking for places that are familiar to her.

Once you step into my office, you never know when you might want to visit again.

“Then I’ll take you to a warm carriage.”

After saying that, I tried to guide him politely with my hand.

Then Lydia gently held my hand and smiled.

“No, since I’m already out, I’d like to get some rest.”

An attack and defense that never backs down.

As if driving a wedge, Lydia began to take the lead toward the office.

“I got motion sick after riding the carriage for a long time.”

The back of the princess walking with her back to her.

The red ruby gems on her ears glimmer.

The long hem of the skirt at the back also flutters like a tail.

‘ha… .’

Dealing with a young princess is not easy.

I ended up going to the front of the office with her.

“Go ahead and open it. “I was wondering if you were okay with the ‘goodies’ I gave you while you were here.”

As if responding, he turned the doorknob.

As the door gap opened, the princess was greeted by a leopard skin spread on the floor.

The corners of the princess’s mouth went up with a grin at the sight of the gift being laid out as intended.

However, her expression soon hardened.

Because a tear in one corner of the leather was clearly visible.

On the other hand, the treasured sword Irina gave me was kept well on the wall.

He stuck out his lips as he saw that only his gift was damaged.

“Why are you doing this, Her Highness?”

When I asked, Lydia looked up at me with a serious expression.

“Yes, you… .”

And he pointed to Irina’s treasured sword with his finger.

“The treasured sword Irina gave you was decorated so well, but the one I gave you was smashed to pieces like that?”

The youngest princess, whose pride was soon hurt.

Her red earrings fluttered and danced.

I looked down at Lydia like that.

‘That’s not what I did… .’

I wanted to mention Looper, but I missed the timing.

Moreover, Lydia’s leather is treated quite well.

Because it is being used as intended.

Rather, the treasured sword that Irina gave was reduced to a market fruit knife.

Lydia, who didn’t even know this, just crossed her arms and fumed to herself.
