Became the Escort Knight That the Princesses Were Obsessed With

8 – 8. An office is created (2)

Office renovation is complete.

However, we waited in the hallway for a while.

The architect asked us to ventilate for 30 minutes before leaving.

While waiting, the senior took out a cigarette pack.

Then he shakes it off lightly and asks me.

“Bale, tell me straight. “Are you really so helpless?”

Miya opened her eyes very thinly.

Eyes full of suspicion.

“Yes, really. “If you had a hundred, would you bother to come here as a defense engineer?”

“Hmm… ”

She tapped the cigarette pack she was holding against her lips.

“but… If you’re a noble, there’s no reason to come here. “It would be much more convenient to escort the princess.”

It’s not comfortable at all.

Not only do we have to provide escorts, but we also get books that people want to read, and sometimes we have to go to the market together.

I wanted to tell the young female knight this, but I held it back and just smiled.

“Ugh, who won’t pick me? “I use quite a bit of strength too…”

Miya threw her head back.

And I mumbled at the sound of people coming from the first floor.

“There are a lot of customers in remote places today.”

She immediately raised her head with a sour expression.

However, the senior’s expression soon became contemplative.

Those guests who came up from the first floor.

Because they were all employees of Lydia, the ruler of the East.

“Even the third princess’s secretary… ?!”

Miya hurriedly hid the cigarette pack behind her back.

And then he hastily bows his head to them and says hello.

However, because she is leaning down, her back is completely exposed.

In the end, the cigarette pack that I tried so hard to hide was exposed.

“Lord Veil Mikhail?”

A colorful turban embroidered with jewels.

A middle-aged man with wrinkles underneath asks me.

He didn’t even care about Miya’s cigarette.

“Yes, that’s me.”

After confirming my identity, he approached me leisurely.

Then, he took out a luxurious edict hardened with candle wax from his inner pocket.

“Please sign here.”

I suddenly accepted that luxurious piece of paper.

“Confirmation of receipt… ?”

I looked at the man with a frown.

“It’s a certificate of receiving a gift from Lydia.”

The secretary stepped aside as if showing off.

Then, strange luxury items from the East that I have never seen before fill the hallway.

Tyrant of the Desert, Samid Leopard Skin.

The ruler of the eastern mountain range, even a taxidermied brown bear.

These are just strange items that are completely useless in practice.

“Something like this as a gift….”

Miya was watching from the side.

She smiled and nudged my side.

“Hey, smile… .”

Thanks to this, I forced myself to raise the corners of my mouth.

Lydia.

His gifts are just as eccentric as his personality.

“I’m sorry, but would I dare accept such a precious item? After all, sending it back… .”

“Are you now rejecting the gift that Her Majesty the Princess chose after much consideration?”

The secretary was clearly smiling.

However, it was almost a forced laugh.

“no. I will gratefully accept it.”

In the end, the royal decree was signed.

At best, I escaped from Irina… Somehow, I feel like things are getting more complicated.

“ha… .”

I opened the office door holding a brown bear that was not even in my arms.

And the moment I entered with a deep sigh.

“What is this…?” .”

My eyes widened at the completely changed appearance of the office.

A chandelier so burdensome that it could hardly be considered a junior engineer’s office.

There’s even a golden table like you’d see in the knight commander’s office.

“It’s crazy, it even bloomed flowers.”

I snorted as I looked at the vase decorated on the table.

Inside was a rose made of gold.

The moment I saw that rose, a chill went down my spine.

Because the golden rose was Leia’s symbol.

It feels like it is sending a strange signal that it has marked me.

Miya leisurely entered the office, carrying a leopard skin.

And then he slowly sat down on the luxurious sofa.

“Hey, isn’t this a bit too much treatment for a patriot?”

The senior laughed heartily while touching the sole of the leopard’s paw.

“Iknow, right. under… “Where should I put this?”

I slowly put the brown bear down so as not to break the marble tile.

And I take a deep breath as I look at that overwhelming figure.

“Should we just throw it in the warehouse?”

He muttered with a sour expression.

Then Miya shakes her head, her round eyes flashing.

“You can’t put the princess’s gifts in the warehouse!”

Miya got up from the sofa with a confident expression.

“Give it to me. “This senior will decorate it himself.”

She clutched the brown bear’s waist proudly.

And I tried to lift it with all my might to show my dignity as a senior.

“… .”

But the brown bear didn’t even move.

In the end, Miya looks back at me with an embarrassed expression.

“Can’t you see that your senior is suffering alone right now?”

I was so dumbfounded that I snorted.

Then he slowly approaches and places his hand on the brown bear’s waist.

“Where shall we go?”

“Let’s put it next to the leather sofa. “Wouldn’t it be nice to look at it while the guests are waiting?”

I lightly lifted the brown bear.

Then, he ended up lifting the short senior along with him.

“Huh… !”

Miya clinging to the brown bear’s legs like a cat.

She glanced up at me, babbling.

“a little… “Would you please drop me off?”

I calmly and slowly looked down at her.

Then the senior covers his mouth with his fist and clears his throat as if he is embarrassed.

“Hmm. This time, this leopard skin.”

Miya headed to the office entrance with the leather she was wearing like a cape.

And then I laid it on the floor like a carpet.

“Well, what do you think?”

“that… “Is it okay to step on a gift like that?”

When I asked, Miya half closed her eyes.

Then he snapped his fingers and spoke confidently.

“Our junior, you don’t know much about the East?”

When I gave a confused look, Miya confidently walked out of the office.

Then he steps lightly on the leather and comes inside.

“The precious leopard skin you step on when entering. “It makes guests feel good as if they are the rulers of the East, right?”

She placed her hands on her waist as if imitating the 3rd princess.

“Besides, Samid leopard skin has the property of reflecting mana.”

This is information I didn’t know even in my previous life.

“That’s why the Eastern royal family puts a floor like this at the entrance to prevent intruders from using stealth magic.”

“Senior, how do you know all that?”

Miya’s smile stopped at my question.

She immediately makes a bitter expression.

“I studied in advance. “I was originally chosen as Lydia’s bodyguard.”

Miya calmly backed away.

And then I looked intently at the brown bear standing next to the sofa.

“But it was soon pushed aside. “One of my classmates had a duke’s son.”

Miya closed her eyes and smiled.

From noble mtl dot com

Now it’s like nothing happened.

“But it’s okay. “By remaining in the capital, you’ve avoided the worst, right?”

But, I know.

The reality of a fallen nobleman who cannot cry or get angry.

The senior’s smile is a fake smile created to adapt to that reality.

I approached her.

Is it because I served Irina?

Naturally, I lowered my knees and removed a strand of leopard fur from my senior’s forehead.

“It must have been difficult.”

The distance got closer.

She looked up at me blankly.

“uh… ?”

Shaking black eyes.

She looked embarrassed and dumbfounded.

“There is no need to smile in front of me. “Because I understand everything.”

My shadow cast over her.

Thanks to this, Miya’s black eyes sparkled even more.

Soon she bit her lip lightly.

And then he immediately rubbed my lowered head.

“Just worry about yourself. “On a new topic.”

Miya quickly got up.

And I was trying to do the remaining chores.

I looked at the office entrance as if fascinated.

“Who’s here? why… .”

I turned my head to follow her gaze.

Eventually I realized.

The reason why Miya’s face became contemplative.

“What are you guys doing now?”

Looper.

He was staring at us blankly, trampling on the leopard skin.

His thick eyelids opened taut, as if he had seen our situation just a moment ago.

“Ah, senior… “The veil lifted the dust off my head.”

Miya seemed to be well aware of Looper’s jealousy and hurried to protect me.

However, that kind of behavior ended up having side effects.

Because when I saw it through Looper’s eyes, it looked like Miya was protecting me.

“Why is that kid taking that away from me?”

He huffed and glared at me.

For some reason, the situation is becoming more and more difficult.

“sorry. I grew up with my younger sister my whole life, so without even realizing it… .”

In fact, she is not a younger sister but a princess.

“Is the senior your younger sister? “Isn’t this completely crazy?”

Actually, Miya is still, but I don’t know why she’s acting like that.

“And what is this office mess? “How dare you paint gold on a minor subject?”

He snorted as he saw the brown bear greeting him with its front paw.

Moreover, for a commoner to decorate his office so extravagantly.

It seems like he couldn’t bear it at all.

“Ha, I tried to just skip it because it was the first day, but I ended up pissing people off.”

Looper rolled up the sleeves of his uniform.

And it begins to surround its body with mana.

“Seo, senior… .”

Seeing that, Miya urgently tried to stop her senior.

But, at that moment.

“You shut up too. “Why are you dating in the first year?”

Looper shouted and focused his mana on his legs.

He slams his boots on the ground in anger.

And at that location… .

There was a leopard skin that was said to reflect mana.

―――!

Looper’s mana touches the leather.

Then, along with a strange sound, the reflected mana rushed towards us.

At insanely fast speeds.

If an ordinary person is hit, they die instantly.

Even if the driver gets hit, it is a fatal wound.

Soon, a sharp piece of mana was about to hit Miya’s face.

A fleeting moment when one o’clock is urgent.

I instinctively focused my mana on my left arm.

And instead of Miya, who couldn’t react… .

I grabbed the fragment right in front of my nose and threw it away.

It’s so hard!

Their mana collides with each other and rubs violently.

I calmly absorbed his lost mana into my palms.

“Are you okay, Senpai?”

Miya was lost in a situation where she could have died.

She collapses helplessly on the table.

“uh… .”

I shook my palms and glared at Looper.

He looks as if he doesn’t even know what he did, and is in a daze.

I calmly walked towards him.

Soon, Looper looks up at the black shadow cast over him.

“Did you say looper?”

A short word.

The guy who was penetrated by that one word stutters and answers.

“Well, what is it? “Did you just talk to me informally?”

Instead of answering, I grabbed his collar.

And then he puts his face in his face and says.

“Should I call this guy who can’t even control his emotions properly my senior?”

A looper with even the soles of his feet floating in the air.

I can feel his trembling through my grasping hand.

“Do you think you can live as a knight even after this? “Get your hands off me right now!”

I raised the whimpering guy high.

And then, as if to show off, he hit the floor with all his might.

So much so that the newly laid tiles broke.

“Ah, why is this knight so noisy?”

I squatted down next to the slumped guy.

Then he looked at the leopard skin lying on the floor and smiled.

“Do you think you can destroy Her Highness’s royal gifts and survive?”

Hearing the word ‘princess’, she quickly raised her head.

“what… ? Huh, princess?”

He looked down at the leopard skin he had crushed.

Cool torn leather.

The imprint of his black military boots remains intact on the skin.

“This is something that belongs to Her Highness the Princess… ?”
