Became an Academy Spearman - Chapter 801
801. [Western Front] – Anastasia & Princess Rachel (77)
***
Day 24 of the front line.
The time passed through the morning and was approaching noon.
There was untimely turmoil on the Western Front.
One by one, each high-ranking officer adjusted his clothes and corrected his posture, and various offices and departments also cleaned their interiors to a greater extent than usual and took all precautions.
ㅡImperial family.
To an officer, the royal family could be said to be a far superior being.
Even when facing higher-ranking officers than oneself, one had to be careful about one’s behavior and appearance neat, and much less was the royal family like beings who could not be compared with higher-ranking officers.
Again.
And Anastasia, who came down to the first floor of the first castle, was walking while checking her clothes for the first time in a while.
“… … “I can’t believe it again.”
At Anastasia’s slightly dazed voice, her assistant Meryl, who was walking right next to her, also smiled awkwardly.
“I see. No way, in the yellow stance… … “I can’t imagine there would be a member of the royal family visiting the front lines on their own.”
Of course, it was not entirely unheard of for the royal family to visit the front line during a time when the state of alert was heightened, but for the royal family to take their own risk and come to the front line.
In fact, it was something no one wanted.
-The royal family themselves.
-Most officers and soldiers on the front lines.
We knew that it wasn’t good for both of us, so it was exactly something that put a burden on each other.
And yet today. There was a member of the royal family who took that risk and came to visit.
Slam! Slam!
And soon, Anastasia, who came out to the first floor of the castle, could hear a very small noise.
I turned my head to the source of the sound, and sure enough, it was different.
In the border area between the western city of Krill and the Western Front, on the long highway, an unusual carriage was moving quickly towards the first fortress.
“… … .”
The luxurious exterior of the golden carriage. And there was a very beautiful pattern representing the imperial family on one side of the carriage, which alone made Anastasia feel a kind of intimidation.
A feeling of intimidation that comes from enormous authority.
‘Princess Rachel… … .’
I knew the purpose of her visit to the Western Front because I had received orders early on.
And that made it even more surprising.
I knew well from the past few meetings how outstanding and valuable a man Han Tiansheng was.
But, no matter what.
I can’t believe the princess would visit such a dangerous frontline area.
Slam!
When the carriage stopped, several high-ranking officers and I also carefully straightened up on one side.
Slurp.
The carriage door opened and two golden knights got out first.
They were golden knights with red and blue hair, respectively. It was something Anastasia was familiar with as well.
‘It’s Sir Selene and Sir Elin.’
It is said that the Golden Knights have different reputations, but both female knights are strong men who have reached mid-level 8 or higher in their characteristics.
Again.
And in the meantime, when the princess, wearing a pure white dress that emphasized practicality, stepped down, the entire crowd inadvertently held their breath.
“… … .”
Anastasia was no exception.
Regardless of her strength, she took a graceful step and watched the princess pass by several officers with their heads down.
Bright blonde hair that looks as if it were made of gold.
A beauty that seems not to belong to this world.
And even more than that, the firm confidence in herself reflected in her eyes.
‘She is an unusual woman.’
The moment I first saw it, I felt that right away.
Regardless of whether or not I had ever encountered Princess Rachel at the imperial palace in the past, I had no particular memory. However, the Princess Rachel that she was now facing was giving off a presence that overwhelms those in attendance.
A strange spirit that is not inferior to that of Princess Lyudmila, who visited the front line not long ago.
With that alone, Anastasia had an intuition.
This princess named Rachel is also a member of the royal family who will gain great power in the future.
Again.
Again… … .
Rachel, who was passing by the officers with their heads bowed, suddenly stopped in front of Anastasia.
And when she gently turned her head to look at herself, the gazes of the two women crossed.
“… … The main axis of the Western Front. “You are the famous ‘Anastasia.’”
“It is just an infinite honor to meet the noble Princess Rachel.”
Hearing Rachel’s light voice, Anastasia immediately showed the polite manners one would treat a member of the royal family. Then Rachel nodded and accepted the example as if it was natural.
“First, let me tell you one thing. There is no need to think too much about me or make any special preparations. “Other high-ranking officers are probably listening to me right now, so I’m saying this out loud, but I don’t want to get caught up in ostentation.”
Anastasia’s eyes suddenly lit up when she heard Rachel’s voice calmly continue speaking.
The meaning of her words felt greater than I thought.
Princess Lyudmila had previously requested something more grandiose and extravagant for the Western Front to demonstrate her authority.
But now.
Princess Rachel was hoping to reduce various aspects as if she didn’t need to do anything for herself.
Anastasia bowed her head a little more amidst the strong presence of the two princesses in stark contrast.
“… … “I just want to thank you.”
Again.
As Rachel entered the first fortress, leaving behind a brief conversation with Anastasia, several high-ranking officers who had their heads down bowed and Anastasia immediately walked away.
Jerk.
From noble mtl dot com
Again.
The faces of each of the high-ranking officers were filled with strange emotions, and those who saw Princess Rachel for the first time were filled with admiration without even realizing it.
“… … “The royal family definitely has a different side.”
“Aren’t they the ones who will lead the empire?”
“Princess Lyudmila and even Princess Rachel have such a huge presence… … .”
Between the different words, Anastasia was also a little dazed.
Again.
Her eyes were blurry as she walked with Meryl.
‘… … Such an outstanding princess.’
ㅡI am interested in Han Cheon-seong.
Suddenly, such a thought took hold of my mind. In the past, I heard from Han Cheon-seong that he had a romantic relationship with Glesia.
And I heard directly from him that he was also having relationships with other women.
In short, a kind of harem relationship was established.
And given the current state of the empire, I also understood to some extent. For a man like Han Tiansheng, who is outstanding both on the outside and inside, and is highly talented, there is nothing he can do.
No matter how much more precious and outstanding Glesia is to me, if Glesia likes Han Cheon-seong, I will comply… … .
However.
I never would have thought that even the supreme being called the princess was interested in Han Cheon-seong.
“Hey, Major Anastasia.”
“… … uh.”
Meryl suddenly tilted her head as if whispering in my ear.
[Did Princess Rachel really visit the Western Front to see Han Cheon-seong? Do you have any other intentions? … ?]
Hearing the whisper that seemed so hard to believe, I too felt strangely strange.
“Maybe so.”
There was no other purpose stated in the command given.
Just mention Han Tiansheng,
Inquiring about Han Cheon-seong’s condition,
The orders all ask what kind of situation Han Cheon-seong is in.
In fact, it was all just instructions regarding Han Cheon-seong.
And when I remembered that, my heart sank even deeper.
“and… … “This is truly unbelievable.”
Meryl lifted her head away from me and blinked, and a deep sigh escaped me without my knowledge.
“… … “That’s right.”
As I was belatedly returning to the castle, I could see the princess walking in the distance.
Since they have already been warned, the personnel staying in the first fortress will not dare to show disrespect to the princess. I felt like my heart was being disturbed just by her princess appearance.
‘Glesia.’
I thought that Glesia’s beauty and unique charm would not be lost no matter what noble she was around. She was greatly loved by Han Tiansheng and was able to dream of future happiness.
But if that competitor becomes a princess like that… … .
Tight.
I started chewing my lips without realizing it.
It is said that, thinking of the danger of the nine apostles, they are expressing their energy and surrounding the first fortress.
Even more than now, the sight of Princess Rachel seemed to disturb my heart.
***
There was an untimely commotion in the enemy barracks.
And at the center of the commotion, as if it were natural, there was nature.
And as Cheonseong carefully left the inner room, Roxanna and Rune greeted Cheonseong as if they had been waiting for them.
“ah… … .”
When I saw the two women who had completed their mission last night and were about to take a nap, Cheonseong blinked involuntarily.
“and. “My youngest, when was the last time you wore an officer’s uniform so neatly?”
“… … “I don’t think you need any help from us.”
When Rune and Roxanna opened their mouths brightly, Cheonseong nodded in confusion.
“Are you both okay with not going to bed during the battle?”
“Well, it’s okay. From now on, you’re going down to the parlor to see Princess Rachel? “We waited to see if there was anything we could do to help.”
“It’s just as Rune said. But since you seem to be doing well on your own, I don’t think I need to tell you about precautions or etiquette when dealing with the royal family. “You basically know the rules of etiquette for dealing with members of the royal family, right?”
Cheonseong smiled lightly at the two women’s gentle words.
“Yes, I know.”
Cheonseong, thinking of Isabelle who was probably still by his side, was not particularly nervous.
“Okay, anyway, do well. Still, just in case, you must never do anything that will attract the attention of the royal family, right? “You know you have to deal with it even if you feel bad, right?”
“sure. Ensign Rune. “You don’t have to worry too much.”
As Rune smiled at Cheonseong’s words and caressed Cheonseong’s neat officer uniform, Roxanna, who was nearby, suddenly caught her eye.
The appearance of Cheonseong that caught her eye was neat and tidy.
And it occurred to me once again how much better Cheonseong looks when he decorates himself, and for the first time in a while, I was surprised by his appearance.
“Rune, you have to let me go now. “If this continues, it will be late.”
Then, when Roxanna looked at Rune and spoke softly, Rune stopped.
“Oh, yes… … “That’s how it should be.”
And then he suddenly brought his lips to Cheonseong’s ear.
[No matter how pretty Princess Rachel is… … Can’t I just fall in love and do that?]
Hearing her playful yet affectionate whisper, Cheonseong instantly burst out laughing and nodded.
“… “Then I will have a nice trip.”
As Cheonseong turned and left for the drawing room where the princess was waiting, the two women suddenly looked at his back.
“Rune… … .”
“huh.”
When Rune answered, looking at Cheonseong blankly, Roxanna glanced into her eyes.
Lately, Rune has been acting strangely and has been seen approaching Cheonseong, but Roxanna doesn’t bother to say that thought.
“No, it’s nothing.”
