Became the Escort Knight That the Princesses Were Obsessed With

5 – 5. First sparring (3)

“What do the princesses think?”

Balderian looks at them with serious eyes.

He, whom I had only met as an enemy until now, was hoping for leniency from me.

Did the general have this kind of side? .

“I admit it. “It was a radical act like Richard’s, but Bale had a clear reason.”

The first princess Leah, who has been quiet so far, answers.

She, who only knew how to protect Richard, puts down her quill and firmly admits it.

“Do your younger brothers agree?”

Leah turns her head and asks the other princesses as well.

Irina was annoyed by Leah’s sudden veiling, but eventually agreed to it.

Lydia also shook her head excitedly, as if she liked the heated fist fight.

“The weight of the used fist was different, so of course it was a reasonable action.”

“Where is the law against using your fists in a fight? “It was hot and fun, right?”

Balderian let out a short sigh of relief at the princesses’ merciful hearts.

And he proudly declared it in front of all the knights.

“The sparring is over, the winner is Bale Mikhail!”

The sound of cheers from classmates.

The sound of applause from the princesses and seniors filled the villa.

The sound was so loud that it shook the villa.

Cheers and applause that I have never heard before.

I was still awkward about being treated like this, so I scratched the side of my head.

However, this was not the only unbelievable thing.

The moment the sparring ends and the nomination ceremony begins.

Because I faced something I had never experienced before.

“Nominee 1, Bale, please come forward.”

1 nominee.

A dream that I couldn’t achieve even when I was a knight candidate is coming true here.

I calmly stepped in front of the table where the princesses were sitting.

And I kept my poker face and waited for their reaction.

However, the princesses did not readily say anything to me.

Suddenly, I made eye contact with Irina, who was sitting in the middle.

She grinned at me with her mouth.

‘About Me.’

As the second princess said, I bow to them.

Irina’s lips smiled as if she was satisfied with my appearance.

“This is Bale Mikhail. “I am a cadet of the 2nd Knight Candidate Corps and do not have a separate home.”

Only then did the princesses begin to respond to me.

“Does this mean there is no family name?”

It was Lydia who spoke first.

“Yes, I was born an orphan, so I didn’t have a name given to me by my parents.”

Lydia cleared her throat lowly, as if feeling sorry.

“Well, maybe it’s because he grew up rough, but he’s strong.”

“Thank you for the compliment.”

When I obediently agreed, Lydia’s expression brightened again.

She got up from the chair and put her hands on her waist.

“Yes, of course, if you’re from the Empire, you know my name, right?”

Even when he woke up, he looked about two heads shorter than me.

Despite her short stature, Lydia’s red eyes were overflowing with pride.

“Yes, aren’t you Princess Lydia?”

“Then I guess you are familiar with the majesty of the knights of the Eastern Capital?”

I know.

Most of the knights in the East are tall, no matter what they ate to grow up.

In addition, it uses heavy weapons and is characterized by its ability to cut down heavy iron armor with brute force.

It is said that even the imperial elite soldiers do not bother to argue with the knights of the eastern region.

“I know it well.”

She gently rested her shoulder on the red silk on her arm.

Then he came out of the table and looked around slowly as if he was looking at a product.

It is cheerful, as if Middle Eastern music is heard every time the 3rd princess walks.

“Well, his size was a bit smaller than that of an elite soldier, but his skills weren’t that bad.”

I’m also about 180cm tall, but this is the first time I’ve ever heard that I’m petite.

For some reason, I feel strange hearing these words from a girl who is much shorter than me.

“Do you have a position in mind?”

“Not yet.”

The corners of the youngest princess’s mouth go up when she hears that she hasn’t decided where to go yet.

She approached me leisurely, her eyes wide open.

And then all of a sudden… .

“What is there to worry about? “Come under me.”

He said as he received the official knight medal attached to his uniform.

A blunt word.

I knew that the youngest princess had a strong personality.

However, it is quite embarrassing to suddenly hear something like this in front of everyone.

“Do you think anyone in the capital would care about a child like you who comes from a commoner background and doesn’t even have a proper hundred? “If you come under me, at least life won’t be boring.”

Lydia gently shook the medal she was holding.

“The knights who worked under me don’t retire until they die.”

She carelessly let go of the medal like a passing wind.

“Do you know why?”

Then I put my palm to my ear and whispered so that no one could hear.

“It’s so enjoyable that I never even think about taking a break. “Everything in the East is yours.”

I’m not interested in pleasure.

But the territory you will receive in the East.

It is difficult to even imagine owning land as a lowly knight.

If I do well, I might be able to move the orphanage that raised me to the capital.

Because it was located in a dangerous outskirt, I always had to pay rent to survive.

If I, in the past, had gone to Lydia’s side through activities like this… .

Could the orphanage have been maintained in the end?

“And if you mention my name in the eastern part of the capital… .”

Lydia pauses for a moment in answering.

Curious about her last words, I lowered my gaze and made eye contact with her again.

And at that moment… .

“I can turn a blind eye even if I kill at least one person I don’t like.”

Lydia’s red eyes smiled like a goblin.

She leisurely returned to the table with that smile on her face.

Thanks to this, I was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.

From the princess’s mouth, a license to kill… .

This is why, when I became Irina’s knight, I told my subordinates not to go to the East to play.

I calmly looked at the table to see who would be next.

Irina is still deep in thought, looking at the documents.

Thanks to this, I suddenly made eye contact with the first princess, Leah.

She gave me a mature smile as if she had been waiting.

“Irina doesn’t seem ready yet, so I’ll suggest it first.”

A feminine and considerate tone of voice.

Even though she was the highest ranking princess among the princesses, she treated me with respect.

Leah Andalusia got up from her seat.

Looking up close, she was much taller than Lydia.

Brilliant blonde hair and white blouse.

Just by looking at it, it feels as if you can hear elegant classical music all around you.

I can’t believe I could be chosen by such a woman.

My classmates, who were watching from afar, swallowed deeply even though they were not chosen.

“You said Lydia gave you a license to kill, right?”

I did not readily respond to her words.

Lydia obviously whispered in a low voice, but how did she know?

“Don’t be surprised. “There is almost no information in the empire that I don’t know.”

She smiled like a warm older sister.

Her face is feminine and mature, just like the older sisters who took care of me during my orphanage days.

There will probably be a cartload of nobles who fall for this face.

“I think Lydia is still young and doesn’t know Mr. Bale very well. “What you need is not just wealth or power?”

Leah asked as if she already knew what was in my heart.

“Rage for his comrades and consideration for those who fought against him. This is exactly what you want… .”

Leah received a medal from the Imperial Knights.

And then he put it down on the table.

“It would be an honor.”

I know that medal.

Golden cross with platinum border.

The most powerful and greatest knightly order in the current empire.

It is a medal of the ‘Knights of Radiance’.

“Do you know how many sword masters there are in our empire?”

“There are seven people.”

“How many of them are from the Knights of Light?”

“I think it’s 6 minutes.”

Leah got up from her chair.

Then, he gently tucks the protruding hair on one side towards his ear.

“Seeing as you know me well, I see you were very interested, right?”

The 1st princess leans down slightly and looks up at me.

“I think a brave person like you should sit in such a high position.”

From noble mtl dot com

She got up and slowly walked towards me.

Soon, long fingers touch my collar.

Eventually, Leah smoothed out the dent.

“If you become my knight, you can become not only a knight commander but also a sword master.”

It was so close that I could feel the princess’s breath.

Looking down at her blue eyes.

It sparkled as if it was trying to see through everything about me.

“A leader who was a commoner… “I’m sure it will be a great example to others, right?”

indeed.

She was reading all my flaws.

The fact that I come from a commoner background and the desire to overcome this.

However, I did not accept her offer right away.

Again, respond with a firm tone.

“I don’t have that ability yet.”

Leah also did not back down easily.

Rather, he smiled, perhaps thinking that my calm demeanor was ‘humility’, a virtue of a knight.

“From what I can see, he has enough talent. “Because you’re just not ‘ready’ yet.”

Long fingers gently ran down my chest.

The fingers soon stopped in his uniform pocket.

The princess placed a golden cross there.

And she whispered in a queenly tone that was different from usual.

“If you have a trivial problem like mana, it can be resolved right away if you come to me.”

The leisurely smile of someone who has everything.

Did you figure out the shortcomings of this body through a fleeting sparring?

‘Manara… .’

Of course, if you go under her, you will be able to easily solve this problem with the elixir and elixir provided.

And even private tutoring by sword masters from the Knights of Light.

Numerous benefits will follow.

Thinking about those benefits makes me chuckle.

‘Because I woke up anyway.’

“I can’t receive these items yet.”

“I’m not forcing it. “It’s just my little gift.”

Leah slowly returned to her seat with her back to her.

Then he sits down lightly on the chair and speaks.

As if everyone was listening.

“But just know this. “I do my best to help my knight grow.”

The comrades who heard that.

They all started staring at me.

Envious eyes.

The look in their eyes is that they wish me well.

but… .

noble classmates.

And even some of the same commoner candidates.

He was glaring at me with jealous eyes.

Yes, becoming a Knight of Leia means challenging the highest power in the empire.

It is true that members of the Knights of Light sit in high positions.

However, the shadows that remain behind their strong light are the groups that were defeated in the faction fight.

Most of them ended badly.

Although knights on the frontier preserved their lives, most losers in political battles were executed.

In other words, I have to fight my head every day to avoid going up to that guillotine.

This is the dark shadow of the imperial family.

“I’ll think about it.”

Fatigue gradually set in.

Feeling tired, I leisurely moved to the center of the table.

And there… .

The last princess, Irina, was sitting.

She looks up at me with a dark look on my face.

The face of the princess I finally met.

She must have been 20 years old, but her face still has the neatness of a young girl.

Lydia, whom I met a little while ago, had the appearance of a tomboy princess, and Leah had the elegance of a queen.

It’s like Irina… .

“Hello, Veil?”

hi.

It was not something a princess would say to a knight.

But for some reason, those words felt familiar, like a childhood friend.

As if we had known each other since the past.
