Became the Escort Knight That the Princesses Were Obsessed With - Became the Escort Knight That the Princesses Were Obsessed With chapter 291

291. One Lazy Afternoon (2)

On the way back from the emperor’s office.

In the hallway of the imperial palace, I made eye contact with a woman wearing a pure white dress.

Her face was hard to see because she was wearing a long-brimmed white hat.

However, I quickly found out who she was.

Very beautiful, long hair, like a silver wolf.

Mysterious emerald eyes shining within that hair.

Irina was the person I met in my past life and even in this life.

“Bale, you’re here. Are you here to see her father?”

“Yes, Your Highness. “I haven’t seen you in a few days, but it feels like it’s been a really long time.”

Irina slowly nodded her head in agreement.

Afterwards, she approached leisurely, holding the basket with both hands.

“I know. I guess this is the first time since I’ve been at a music concert hall.”

Performance hall.

I cleared my throat when I heard that.

However, Irina did not look embarrassed at all even in her memories of that time.

Instead, he patted my shoulder and smiled brightly.

“Can you wait a moment? “Let’s just see my father and go back together.”

“I understand.”

――――――.

She was very feminine for her attire as she went to report.

After about 10 minutes of entering her office, she returned with a gentle expression.

“You waited a long time, right?”

“No, shall we take you to the Northern Imperial Palace?”

I walked side by side with her and asked.

The princess shook her head slowly and said.

“No, I’m going to Northton Cemetery.”

‘Cemetry… ?’

Ah.

Now that I think about it, today is the 2nd Empress’s death anniversary.

“Then, I will take you there. “It’s close.”

We left the high heavenly palace together and climbed on horses.

Irina riding a white horse with ease in a white dress.

Even though it was clearly a feminine outfit, it exuded the elegance of an imperial princess.

Her voluptuous thighs her covered by the thin fabric of her dress her caught her eye her her her.

She stayed upright with that strength and drove her horse vigorously.

The emperor, staying on the terrace, gazed down at the sight.

He also had a pitiful look in his eyes as if he knew that today was the anniversary of his second wife’s death.

It was just a pity that she couldn’t show her daughter how beautifully she had grown.

Still, she didn’t seem to be sad at all.

When Leonhard’s eyes stopped on me driving the horse side by side.

Because the corners of his mouth his his his rose slightly.

He took a deep breath, as if he liked his best friend his his by his side his his.

And, when I noticed the emperor’s energy and raised my head, he lightly waved his hand.

“Please take good care of my daughter, Veil.”

I accepted his message and bowed my head in courtesy.

Afterwards, he rode his horse leisurely and headed north of the capital.

―――――――.

The weather in Northon, which is usually famous for being gloomy, was particularly nice today.

We walked down the busy road, feeling the cool autumn breeze.

Citizens who recognized Irina’s white horse bowed their heads and greeted us as we passed by.

In response, the princess waved her hand with a friendly smile and headed toward a garden.

There was a cemetery so ordinary that it was hard to believe that the royal family was buried there.

Even the gravedigger was a lithe elderly man from the Northton neighborhood.

“Are you here, Your Majesty?”

He immediately recognized Irina and bowed her petite head.

The second princess of the empire also responded with a light nod.

“I came to see her mother.”

“The lawn has just been mowed, so it will be easier to see you.”

The direction Nobu pointed to was a tombstone located at the highest point in the mountain.

Irina climbed the uphill hill steadily wearing a one-piece dress.

She said, “She should have prepared some comfortable clothes.”

“No, Veil. “I came dressed like this on purpose.”

The princess said it was okay and she climbed the hill calmly.

And then, she stopped in front of a small tombstone.

“My mother really liked me dressing like this.”

“You mean Empress Istina… ? ?”

Irina calmly nodded her head to my question.

And…

She took out a bouquet of pure white mist flowers from a basket that she thought would contain a picnic lunch.

“Huh. Her mother’s only joy was dressing me in pretty clothes.”

She slowly placed her bouquet in front of the small tombstone.

This was written on the tombstone:

“Istina Andalusia. Leon 25 years – Leon 55 years”

“They were worried because I only liked archery and horseback riding since I was very young.”

‘Maybe she was worried that the girl looked too manly.’

She tried to open her mouth to say she understood.

However, her next words were even more heartbreaking.

“Because they couldn’t protect me if I showed talent in the race for the throne. “Because she was a commoner and she suddenly became empress by becoming pregnant with me, she had few close associates.”

“Ah…”

Irina tilted her long-brimmed hat up slightly.

And, he showed his pure white face her to her her tombstone her her her.

She said, “In order to survive, she thought it was best for her to grow up as a woman and get married to a foreign country.”

The princess held the hem of her dress with both hands as if nothing had happened.

Then she waved lightly and smiled brightly at me.

“That’s why he really liked me wearing such flowy clothes.”

I silently looked at Irina’s her smile her her her.

Her eyes were truly beautiful, just like her mother.

However, I knew at the same time.

Irina and her 2nd Empress’s childhood she was not as happy as she said.

“Even though she lived a difficult life in the countryside, she did not like the wealthy life of an empress.”

The princess said, looking back at her quiet cemetery.

She said, “So when she passed away, she asked to be buried not in the crypt of the imperial palace, but in her hometown of Northon…”

“…”

Could it be that she was so frustrated with the imperial palace that she hated it even after she died?

I looked down at her tombstone with mixed feelings.

“Still, I think he must have been a truly amazing person.”

“Okay… ?”

As Irina asked again, I gently swept away the fine dust that settled on the tombstone.

I took out a handkerchief from my uniform jacket and wiped the stone slab engraved with ‘Istina’.

“Yes, you steadfastly stayed in the imperial family that you hated so much and raised your highness well.”

The princess didn’t say anything for a moment in response to her.

We just looked down blankly at the well-polished tombstone.

“Moreover, she will be even more favored in heaven, since she has been firmly established as one of the pillars of the empire.”

I got down on her knees.

Then, he neatly collected the gypsophila placed in front of the tombstone and prayed.

“I will definitely be by your side in this life, so please watch over me with peace of mind.”

Irina knelt down with me as I prayed.

Afterwards, she gently closed her beautiful silver eyelids and brought her hands together.

“…”

After a short silence.

We got up at the same time.

“What did you pray for?”

Irina answered my question with a wide smile.

“When my mother died, she was always worried that I would be left alone in the imperial family.”

The princess’s brilliant silver hair swayed gently.

Soft emerald eyes shining through them.

Those eyes looked at me and spoke with a sincere voice.

“She spoke to my mother that she didn’t have to worry anymore.”

The second princess of the empire gently grabbed my rough hand.

“Now I have a wonderful knight by my side to protect me.”

The corner of her mouth twitched unconsciously at the princess’s refreshing words.

Then, I soon calmed my voice and spoke confidently to the tombstone.

“Istina, Her Royal Highness.”

Now, he stands straight and straight like a member of the imperial family.

Afterwards, he made a promise to her at her knighthood ceremony and in her angular voice when she shouted.

“In this life, I will protect the princess until the end.”

She got down on her knees.

Next, she, who was from a commoner background, paid the utmost respect to the second empress and left her final greetings.

――――――.

As if repaying my greeting, a gentle autumn breeze blew.

The fluttering green leaves settled gently on the top of my head.

As if Her Royal Highness she was really stroking my head.

“My mother would have liked the veil too.”

Irina spoke with beautiful half-closed eyes.

“He said he wanted me to be an ordinary man when I get married.”

“I guess I also came from a commoner background.”

He said with a chuckle at her words.

The second princess of the empire also laughed and picked up the fallen leaf that was sitting on the top of her head.

“Well, at the same time, you are the Marquis, but-. “I am also a commoner and a member of the royal family, so wouldn’t it be the same fate?”

After saying that, we came down the cemetery together.

Afterwards, I decided to stop by my office and have a cup of tea before returning to the imperial palace.

―――――.

“Wow, it feels like it’s been a really long time here.”

“I know. “I stopped by frequently at the beginning of the year.”

We were lost in memories as we looked at the shabby three-story building.

In the past, after the knight appointment ceremony, Irina came to shyly ask why she was not chosen.

Even Leah and Lydia, who decorated the office themselves.

I headed to the back of the office, following the memories that came to mind.

Then, now that I had moved to my western territory, an empty vegetable garden came into view.

An afterimage of me once trying hard to grow watermelons there passed by in a blur.

“Mr. Orne and the Thorman clan used to farm here.”

“That’s right, but those friends no longer work for me.”

Irina asked back with a puzzled look.

Her round green eyes looked like a pretty silver wolf.

“Really? Did you really cut it?”

“No-. We all recently got married and became independent. “I set up a distribution company in the western city center.”

Of course, because they were immigrants, their safety was a problem, but Leah took care of it herself.

The distribution network is making a lot of money for Lydia by connecting her with Samad.

“So, you don’t farm in your territory anymore?”

“I can raise it myself, okay? There won’t be anything to do anymore-.”

I stretched and yawned.

From noble mtl dot com

My sharp fangs stuck out and reflected the sunlight.

“Hmm… Is there really nothing to do? ?”

“Yes?”

When I questioned Irina’s her self-talk, she smiled and shook her head.

“No-. Let’s go up.”

I looked blankly at the princess who was ahead with a confused expression.

She climbed the stairs first, fluttering the hem of her long dress.

“Did I hear wrong… ?” ?”

I tilted my head and followed her up the stairs.

Then, I passed through the familiar, tattered hallway and opened the door to her office.

That moment.

――――――.

“Hmm hmm–.”

A woman’s humming sound was heard from the sofa.

When I looked at it with Irina as if responding to this.

“Uh… ?”

She made eye contact with Miya, who was lying diagonally on the sofa and humming.

She was leisurely enjoying her time, tapping her toes in her black stockings.

Even her tie was loose and worn like a necklace.

“…”

When we made eye contact, the senior’s lips parted.

The sharp fangs like a cat began to tremble.

Obviously she wasn’t shouting, but when I saw the shape of her lips, I thought, ‘Miyaahhh…’… It seemed like he was shouting ‘!!’.

“Uh, senior. When did you come… ?”

“Oh, that’s… I guess I came to visit while I had some time left after the imperial vice-captain training ended… ?”

Miya hurriedly got up from the sofa, shaking her fingers.

Then, she gracefully gestured that Irina was okay.

“Vice-captain training must have been very difficult, but rest in peace, Lord Miya.”

“Ahaha… Thank you, Your Majesty…”

Miya’s tear spots were gently trembling.

She hurriedly put on her military boots and began to show respect.

“Since you’re here, would you like me to pour you a cup of tea? Bale, you too?”

“Okay, I think black tea would be good for both of us.”

We sat leisurely on the sofa together.

Meanwhile, Miya served us her tea with her skillful skills.

But.

Suddenly, her hand as she put down the teacup caught my eye.

She had many bruises and blisters from all the training she had done.

“Senior, wasn’t it very difficu

I said, gently holding her hand.

I turned her palm and saw that her index finger was quite rough from squeezing the hilt of her sword so hard.

“It’s okay, thanks to that, I’ve started to take over the vice-captain position as well.”

“I think you’ve swung it at least a thousand times. “You’ve worked hard.”

As I seriously listened to her training story, Miya looked down at me.

Unlike me, who was concentrating on what Camilla’s manual was, her eyes her were only looking at my clasped hands her

She gently waved away my hand, perhaps wanting to hide her increasingly heated expression.

Afterwards, she hugged her shoulders and spoke cheerfully.

“No way-! Why are you so worried!! As a senior, this is basic-.”

He touches her shoulder and then pulls her towards his face, giving her friendly skinship.

In response, Irina put the car she was holding back down.

Afterwards, she neatly brushed her silver hair and said something insinuating.

“Lord Miya.”

The senior stopped for a moment at her serious voice

Only her bobbed hair swayed slightly.

“Bale is about to become ‘National Secretary,’ but aren’t you treating him too roughly?”

“…”

The cold eyes of a she-wolf who has only one companion.

At this, Miya swallowed her saliva deeply.

However, she was not a cat that would lose to anyone wherever she went.

“Oh, because I’m still a senior when I’m at work. I think this is quite possible, but-.”

As Miya said that, she smiled with her characteristic cat-like pretty eyes.

“… ,”

With the two of them between me, they stared at each other.

In the cold air, I looked at them in turn with my fox-thin eyes.

“Ahaha… Everyone, don’t be like that and get some rest. Anyway, I don’t have to work hard anymore.”

I took out the golden lion badge I had kept in my uniform pocket.

And, I proudly showed it to the two people.

“Uh, this is a symbol of the royal family, right? Could it be that His Majesty gave it to you?”

The appearance of a symbol so famous that even Miya immediately recognized it.

At this, Irina covered her lips with her hand and her eyes widened.

“That’s right, that’s right-. “If I have this, I don’t have a boss who can put off work for me anymore.”

“Hmm, really?”

Miya smiled strangely at this.

“Then you will be more relaxed in the future, right?”

“Okay, no need to look at government documents, just a comfortable bed…”

I was talking back and forth alone.

I stopped talking at the strange gaze I felt.

‘What… ?’

Her eyes fluttered, but then she came to her senses and glanced at Miya.

She swallowed her saliva deeply and instead of giving a friendly look, she gave a dirty smile.

But.

That was just the beginning.

“Ugh…”

The sound of nausea was heard momentarily from the other side.

When she turned her head.

Because Irina shyly covered her lips while drinking her tea.

“I keep feeling nauseous these days… ?”

The 2nd princess, who had always maintained a neat and clean image, smiled strangely like a female.
