Became the Escort Knight That the Princesses Were Obsessed With

71. Golden Lion (5)

I looked down at the princess whose face was covered with a book.

The first princess’s pale face turned red and she was breathing heavily.

Apparently, the aftereffects of her curse still remain.

“You look bad. Is it okay if I call your doctor?”

“I’m fine.”

Leia narrowed her eyes.

She said, calming her breath.

“I’m just annoyed that you rejected my offer.”

The princess began to openly give me her attention.

Well, I’ve already rejected her orders twice, so her pride must have been quite hurt.

“Thank you very much for the suggestion.”

I need to speak well from now on.

If you offend them for no reason, they may turn into enemies rather than allies.

“But, as I said, I will protect my country to the end.”

Leah looked like she was about to interrogate me.

However, he closed his mouth again after hearing my next words.

“And I want to live in the homeland that I have protected, serving His Majesty the Emperor and the Princess with the utmost respect.”

Leah raised her monocle.

He will remain loyal until the end even though his country is falling into ruin.

She began to become more interested in the sight.

“Hmm-. Okay?”

The princess placed her hand on the table.

Then he gently leaned against her face and smiled.

“What that means is that if the empire is maintained, you will serve me for the rest of your life.”

“To be precise, His Majesty the Emperor comes first.”

I firmly drew a line between her harsh words.

However, the princess dug deeper with her eyes showing that she would not miss a bite of water.

“Yes, if the empire is safe, I will become the emperor in terms of rank, so you will become my property.”

‘Uh….’

That is correct.

Why does it sound so scary?

“You should be prepared then.”

Leah once again showed the expression of a mature adult. She

She And with her chin erect, she looked at me with sensual eyes.

“Of course, for that day, I will join the alliance as you said.”

I frowned.

And then, I thought about her cleverly twisted words.

“Then you too will be able to protect the empire, and I will also become emperor….”

Leah spoke straight away so as not to give me time to think.

“Everyone will be satisfied.”

That is correct.

If the Empress and Crown Prince disappear, the leading candidate to become the next emperor is naturally the first princess, Leia.

But.

Even if you say that, you have to work under her for the rest of your life.

Now, the 1st princess is quietly trying to put a leash on me.

“Good.”

I approached her slowly.

Then, she looked down at her with her formal smile.

“But, I hope we can organize this properly.”

“Tell me.”

Leah looked up at me with her confident eyes.

I answered calmly.

“I follow the entire empire. “I am not following only the princess.”

“I know. But the emperor’s will is the empire’s will. So when I become emperor, you will obey me.”

“That’s right. If you become emperor, I will follow you without a word. But.”

I raised my finger.

And, he prayed to the first princess of the empire.

“After all, you have ascended to the rank of ‘Emperor.’ Until then, I will only help you, but I will not become the princess’s.”

“What… “Does this mean that you will remain like a helper?”

Leah lowered the corners of her mouth as if she was disapproving.

“That’s right. “I will just maintain that relationship.”

The appearance of a defense engineer who even proudly makes a suggestion in front of the princess.

Leah seemed to think that was cute and smiled brightly.

“So, this means that you will come and help me whenever I call, right? “Because that’s a helper.”

“For now, yes.”

I nodded indifferently.

Then Leah cut me off with a cold voice like that of an empress.

“Take out the word ‘for now.'”

“I understand, if something ‘urgent’ comes up, I will definitely help.”

Who are you going to treat like Jeon Seo-gu?

There is no way.

“Hmm.”

The princess narrowed her eyes.

Then, she started doing calculations in her head for a moment.

When she herself united with her princesses to confront her mother.

Hundreds of ways to win.

She soon finished her thoughts.

She looked up at me calmly and opened her mouth.

“Well, I understand. “Anyway, if I put my mind to it, I can do it with her mother.”

“This is an excellent choice.”

Her I bowed my head and expressed my gratitude to her.

Then, in her grunting voice, Leah explained the reason why she had been avoiding her queen all this time.

“I’ll say it again, I didn’t avoid my mother’s power because I was afraid.”

Leia took off her monocle.

And, her beast-like blue eyes sparkled in the shadows.

“I was just afraid that my people and tribe would get hurt.”

The leader of the golden lion who feared that her own pack would be harmed.

The ferocious beast eventually decided to monopolize the habitat from her blood relatives.

“I know. How dare His Majesty’s family be afraid of the enemy?”

She bowed her head politely and praised her.

After that, she secretly raised the corners of her mouth while she was in her bowed state.

But, so was Leah.

She looked down at me with a naughty smile.

“Okay then, where should we sign a contract?”

“Just give me the paper and I will sign it right away.”

As I headed to her table to retrieve her paper and pen, Leah stopped me.

“No, you don’t need paper. I keep my word until the end.”

Then, she elegantly stretched out the back of her hand and spoke.

“So… “The contract is concluded by kissing the back of my hand.”

The back of the princess’s hand arrived in front of me.

Pure white hands without a single ring on them.

“….”

I looked down blankly at that soft, white skin.

Then, he confidently approached with a determined expression.

“I understand.”

With her eyes half closed, she slowly kissed the back of the princess’s hand.

Afterwards, she expressed her courtesy to him with a bold expression.

“I hope that our union will be a complete success.”

The princess placed her chin on the back of her hand where I had kissed her.

And, she said with an expression that she was not worried.

“From now on, whenever I call, you will always come, so what’s the problem?”

Leah smiled.

However, I responded firmly to that smile.

“That’s right. “I will definitely go there when I have something really ‘important’ to do, so there won’t be any problem.”

“….”

Spear and shield.

We didn’t say anything more, as if acknowledging each other’s firmness.

We just felt the gentle spring breeze together in the shade of the parasol.

Leah’s golden hair fluttered.

She flipped her hair and gently closed her eyes.

“Veil.”

“Yes, Her Royal Highness.”

Leah lifted her body from the backrest as if her strength had been restored.

She spoke to me with her back straight.

“Would you like to play a game of chess while we’re here?”

An indifferent look that says it doesn’t really matter if you reject it.

However, looking at the chessboard on her table and the textbook she has read countless times….

This was actually close to an order.

“I have to finish the game I couldn’t finish that day, right?”

A blue flame burned in the princess’s eyes, as if she wanted to avenge the humiliation of the draw.

But, because I know that she has already surpassed my level by working hard….

“I’m sorry, but I’m a little tired today so it’s going to be difficult.”

I refuse like a sword.

“What… ?”

Rejected three times in a row.

At this, the princess frowned as if she was deeply embarrassed.

“What is so difficult about a guy who spends all day looking at the ground and looking for watermelons?”

“How does the princess know my daily routine so well?”

When I asked with a calm expression, Leah also answered shamelessly.

“As the soon-to-be emperor, I observe the lives of the people, so of course I know.”

“Oh, you were simply ‘observing’?”

Leah said she didn’t want any more of my puns and pointed to her chessboard.

Then, she threatened me with her eyes to tell me to sit down.

I responded with honesty.

“Actually, I don’t like it because I feel like I’m going to lose.”

“Ha?”

A knight avoids competition for fear of losing.

Leah snorted at my shameless attitude.

“You said earlier that you would achieve peace…. Was it all just a bluff after all?”

“The enemy has fully prepared, so we can only retreat for operational purposes.”

Leah finally sighed.

“I understand, you foxy bastard.”

The princess closed her eyes like a lion missing a fox before her eyes.

Then, she motioned for me to go away.

“One day, I will take off your clothes and find your tail.”

I smiled and said hello.

Afterwards, he leisurely walked out of the parasol and said.

“Okay then, I’ll just leave.”

Warm sunlight pours down on my face.

After barely being liberated, I immediately decided to leave the West.

But, at that moment.

Leah spoke to me in a cynical voice.

“Are you leaving the land documents behind?”

“This land is too burdensome for me.”

In the first place, the scale is so large that it is difficult to obtain a 5,000 gold loan.

If I swallow this land, the princess might try to use me as an excuse.

“It’s okay, take it.”

“Yes… ?”

A princess who is easy-going and runs the land.

My eyebrows naturally lit up at that sight.

“This is a gift to commemorate the conclusion of the alliance, so feel free to take it.”

Leah looked at me blankly.

And, he said it in an indifferent tone, saying it had no special meaning.

“I’ve put that damn watermelon and all the farming equipment in the warehouse, so I’ll just grow it there.”

Seedlings sprouted this morning.

And the northern land occupied first.

This is the moment when the culprit of all these incidents is revealed.

“Are you sure?”

“Yeah, that ugly guy.”

Leah turned her head away as if she didn’t want to talk to me anymore.

And then, I closed my eyes until she couldn’t hear my footsteps.

“Thank you, Your Royal Highness!”

I left, leaving behind a true smile for the first time.

To my glorious first territory.

「―――.」

The sound of the defense engineer’s feet has completely disappeared.

Only then did Leah lift her closed golden eyelids.

“….”

The princess stretched her hand under her chair.

Then, she took out the long telescope she had prepared in advance.

She observes somewhere with her eyes wearing her monocle.

Her target was the veil heading to the warehouse.

“Well, I…” “Look at the way he smiles when he sees the watermelon.”

A defense engineer who has only given himself a perfunctory smile and made pretentious remarks.

The driver looks at the watermelon and smiles happily.

The princess was shocked to see that.

“Does everyone become that weird when they become a sword master?”

As Leah asked, Da Mian, who was waiting inside her villa, approached her.

Then she cleared her throat and spoke carefully.

“Lord Veil seems to be particularly unique.”

“Well, I’m glad I’m more sound than other stupid guys, but… “You truly are a child who cannot understand what is going on in your head.”

Damian blinked at the princess’s words.

“There are people who the princess cannot analyze.”

“That’s right. “It’s the first time I’ve seen a guy like that in my life.”

When the princess shook her head, her advisor carefully comforted her.

“I don’t know if it’s because I just turned 20.”

However, the princess did not even pretend to listen to her advisor’s comfort.

I just focused on the number 20 that Damian said.

“Yes, I am a sword master at just 20 years old. It’s also very mature….”

Leia muttered and put down her telescope.

And then, looking up at her staff with her cool eyes, she said.

“Damian. Do some research on that kid. “Birth or whatever.”

“I understand.”

“Oh, by the way, let’s find out where Camilla is assigned.”

The staff member lowered her head and wrapped Mana around her legs.

Then, she disappeared as fast as the wind.

“….”

She is the first princess of the empire who is finally left completely alone.

She placed her hand on her heart.

Then, she took a deep breath and regained her composure.

“It’s strange….”

Once her mind cleared, Leah lifted herself from her chair.

After that, she walked over to the table and lifted up her chessboard.

“I heard that this book is based on a true story.”

Leah took out a familiar book from under the chessboard.

Then, she raised the rim of her monocle and read attentively.

“Why didn’t it work?”

Soon the princess arrived at a passage where he kissed the back of her hand.

Satisfied that she had made it this far, she held back her laughter like a girl.

Then, I gently rubbed the skin that touched me and turned the page.

Then we reached the passage of the Archduchess, who threatened her own slave knight by grabbing his tie.

Then, she analyzed what she had left out.

“….”

However, no matter how many times I reread it, her actions were exactly the same as in the novel.

In that case, Bale would have had to look as embarrassed as the slave in her novel….

The guy was so calm.

She rather boldly thrust her face.

As if he was looking down on himself.

“Could it be that I was less attractive than the Grand Duchess?”

The princess pursed her lips with an annoyed expression.

The princess, in her frustration, slammed her book shut.

And, she vowed that she would soon summon the author of the novel, the Archduchess, and interrogate her.
