52, Princess. (2)

‘… … What the hell is Confucius thinking?’

bring the princess

Receiving that instruction, it was a thought that naturally came to Dagnes.

What on earth is Gongja Cale doing, why do so many people get entangled?

… … Did you say Lucia?

Yesterday, the wizard of the Mage Tower suddenly came to visit him, saying that he had a relationship with him.

It was someone I had never heard of.

Aside from the fact that she is a wizard of the Mage Tower, at first glance, her strength was at a level that could not be surpassed by Dagnes.

Likewise, I heard yesterday that the ‘Mercenary King’ is looking for Prince Cale.

In addition to that, bringing the 4th princess, who was extremely rare to even see her face in the public eye.

The emperor’s illegitimate son.

They rarely even appear on official lines. The royal family is said to have a weak body.

Did you say that you fell out of the emperor’s eyes?

disrespectful though.

It must have been a little natural that disbelief had set its head a little earlier than faith.

After all, there would be no contact with such a princess.

actually.

Even Dagnes had only heard about her appearance, but had never seen the 4th princess in person.

“Meet Your Highness, the 4th Princess of the 4th month of the Empire. I am Dagnes of the White Lion Knights who came by order of Prince Cale.”

“… … yes. Nice to meet you. Sir Dagnes. Hey, just keep your head up.”

Ray rejects Dagnes’ greeting as if he is uncomfortable with excessive manners.

and.

The 4th princess, whom he met face-to-face, was a person so weak that it was hard to believe that she was from the royal family.

Was it true that I was sick?

Pure white skin, closer to a blank sheet, as if it had never faced sunlight.

The limbs and fingers were so thin that they seemed like they would break if touched.

If the blonde hair of the other members of the royal family was a healthy blonde with a dark tone.

Ray’s hair was a frizzy blonde.

However, the reason why she couldn’t not know that she belonged to the imperial family.

It must have been because of the golden eyes unique to the royal family and the pale color that could not be hidden even with a skinny body.

said Dagnes, who reached out for an escort.

“First of all, I would like to say I am sorry. Confucius was busy preparing for the Mutu Festival, so I, as a knight, acted as the princess’s escort.”

“… … Yes, is it? Then please, today. I wish you well.”

It was Cale himself that Bondi Ray made an appointment with.

It wouldn’t have been strange at all to reveal a bad mood in that a knight came instead of him.

Ray nodded as if he had no such complaints and grabbed Dagnes’ outstretched hand.

Soon, Ray follows the escort to the carriage.

It was only natural for the servants to follow the princess when she went out.

Not anyone else, but the princess.

A member of the royal family would go outside, but there was no way he would go out alone.

Originally, a few people would have had to catch up.

However, when the servants showed no signs of moving, Dagnes, who had been silent for a while, asked.

“… … By any chance, is the princess going out alone?”

“… … oh yes I just need to go. The user… … It probably won’t come out.”

The princess, who unconsciously touched the earring on one side, nodded at the question.

The servant won’t come out.

A ridiculous situation in which the servant does not move for his master.

However, far from being strange, the princess seemed familiar.

‘… … her.’

A situation like upside down.

Another royal family, no. Even the nobility of the frontier region would not be like this.

There might be a few servants who get along with the owner like family or close friends.

Does a servant who does not even move for the sake of his master deserve to be called a lady-in-waiting or a servant?

what the hell is the situation In my heart, I wanted to point out this point and turn the villa upside down.

‘Kindly bring me. He’s the kind of person who’s never even seen the outside of the villa a few times in his life.’

Cale’s words stabbed Dagnes in the lungs.

The 4th princess is a very rare person who has the experience of coming out of the villa.

Whether it was because of a chronic illness or because of the restraints of the imperial family.

It would not be possible to cover the memory of going out only a few times with blaming the servants.

Even if Dagnes was an honest knight.

At least, he had the ability to discriminate between reasons.

“… … Then we will depart.”

nod

The princess nodded. Soon the wagon departed.

Soon there was a dark silence in the carriage.

‘… … .’

In that desolate atmosphere, Dagnes swallowed dryly.

When I rode the carriage with Prince Cale, there was no such quiet silence.

In contrast, Dagnes found this quiet silence quite alien.

No, if it was just silence, there wouldn’t be such a big problem.

Glitter.

To the point where it feels strange to keep your mouth shut.

Because Ray’s eyes were going back and forth between Dagnes and the sword at his waist.

The eyes of curious children.

That gaze was not unfamiliar. Rather, it was an all-too-familiar gaze.

The curiosity that young aristocrats and attendants often show when they see the position of ‘knight’.

Because the princess’ gaze was similar to that.

Because it was a gaze that felt warm at first glance.

Dagnes cleared his throat and asked.

“Hmm. Princess. Do you have any questions?”

“That, the sword at the waist… … . no. There are no questions.”

so ask

Rey opened her mouth reflexively, but belatedly closed her mouth and shook her head.

Soon after, Ray bit her lower lip and touched her earring.

Is touching my earring a habit?

Because she seemed to have a very shy personality.

After a moment of silence, Dagnes spoke.

It was the last thing her gaze turned to. knife.

“This sword was given to me by the Aion family lord when I was officially appointed as a knight and joined the White Lion Knights.”

“… … Heh, not interested.”

doesn’t seem to be interested

I was speaking coldly.

As if he had guessed right, he couldn’t hide his eyes sparkling with interest.

“The lord I serve is a great man. The Aion family lord is a very good swordsman before he is the family lord.”

sword of the empire.

The Empire’s number one sword master, Aion Reinhardt.

There were no people who didn’t know him, at least not in the Empire.

He didn’t say anything, but Ray’s eyes glanced at Dagnes.

eyes still full of interest.

You can tell lies with your mouth.

Emotions can be faked with facial expressions.

I couldn’t lie with my eyes.

It’s like trying to become friends with a cold child.

Dagnes, who had suddenly thought of that, hurriedly hid his thoughts.

* * *

… … Annoying.

Maybe, how could a man be so ignorant?

Don’t tell me if you’re not interested.

I kept making that kind of tee and even said it again.

Is it ignorant, or is it rather fast?

The story of Sir Dagnes was far from over.

And the most annoying and disgusting of them all.

“… … .”

Hearing his story, it was Ray himself who was amused before he knew it.

The story of Dagnes’ own chivalry.

The story of how he was knighted.

Up until recently, there was even a story about a girl named ‘Rin’ from the Nlang tribe in the north who had a sparring and was broken up.

What did you learn from the conversation?

The point was that Sir Dagnes was a very naive knight.

It’s like something out of a fairy tale book.

Sober, but not out of line. such a righteous knight.

When he heard that he lost in Dalian, even Ray clenched his fists.

When I told a funny story about Prince Cale that happened recently, laughter leaked out.

It was just a casual conversation.

It was close to a trivial story with no clear end.

Because that casual conversation was what Ray had longed for all his life.

Perhaps it was only natural that she couldn’t shake it off.

To the point where I forgot that I had a recording device in my ear for a moment… … .

Such a pleasant conversation.

“Ah, it looks like we’ve arrived at the stadium. get off Princess.”

And when you realize that it’s a consideration for yourself.

Belatedly, that cold reality came too coldly.

All conversations are currently being recorded.

… … He had to deceive the people he would meet from now on.

because of their greed. Because of the desire to go outside and see Mutuje.

To those who wanted to help… … I had to cause trouble.

“The princess?”

after dropping off

Sir Dagnes reached out as if to help him get off.

But when Ray didn’t move, he tilted his head.

“Do you have something to say?”

I don’t want to cause trouble.

So, maybe it’s too late… … .

Even now, he reveals that he has a recording device in his ear.

Or, at least, he said that he had lost interest in martial arts and went back.

One of the two had to be done.

… … I have to. to do.

“… … Lord Dagnes, how did you trust Prince Cale so much?”

The words that came out of my mouth were completely different.

“How are you saying you could trust Prince Cale?”

The story of Dagnes heard in the carriage.

They all had trust and faith.

Deep belief in kale.

It is also a belief in his powerlessness.

At the same time, it was also a belief in character.

I can’t be too introverted to the circumstances outside.

Ray had heard that Cale was quite an asshole.

However, in Dagnes’ words, none of that was felt.

Even the words of lamentation about Cale were filled with deep trust.

I inadvertently asked that question.

Rather, Dagnes did not give a clear answer to that.

“well. Perhaps, the answer to that can be found by looking at Prince Cale in person, right?”

It seems to follow me.

After saying that, Sir Dagnes held out his hand.

had to knock it off.

Unconsciously, Ray’s hand had already grabbed his hand.

“Then let’s go. Martial arts haven’t even started yet. You might want to join our group.”

uh, uh

before you even say anything.

Ray, who was caught in his hand, was pulled out of the carriage.

When I came out of the wagon, the sunlight was shining very brightly.

I feel like I’m going to go blind from that warm sunlight.

Ray had to close his eyes tightly.

And when I open my eyes again

In front of her, strange figures stood.

The party that Sir Dagnes spoke of.

The pink-haired handmaid, Siela, and the Northern warrior I had seen before. Lin.

And finally, the silver-haired wizard. Lucia.

Like a fairy, the mysterious magician whispered into Ray’s ear.

“hmm… … Artifacts for that recording. I don’t think you did it voluntarily.”

exactly.

Looking at the earring in Ray’s right ear.

“Is it okay if I play around with you?”

As if he had found an interesting toy, with a playful expression on his face.

A sorceress called Lucia said so.
