Became the Escort Knight That the Princesses Were Obsessed With - Chapter 300



300. 10 years later (3)

“Then, let’s start the game…!!”

“Hey kids, who wants to go on the merry-go-round with Daddy?”

I stood among the fathers bending their knees for their children and asked.

Then, Helena looked at herself with intelligent eyes and calmly analyzed the situation.

“I think Ian would be the best.”

“What…? No, if it’s a flag, I can quickly steal it too.”

Lili spoke with a sharp look in her eyes, her hands on her waist.

Her red eyes were filled with competitive spirit.

“It doesn’t matter if Lily does it. She wants to do it like that.”

Ian also smiled leisurely and tried to give up the opportunity.

However, Helena shook her head, her pitch-black eyes gleaming.

“No, Lily has shorter arms than you physically. When it comes to capturing the flag, it’s advantageous for someone with longer arms to do so.”

“Huh… Even so, how much of a difference is there?”

If Helena was a cool-headed commander, Lily felt like she was looking at a female warrior.

Ian was as easygoing as a virtuous person, and he gradually softened the situation as it became increasingly heated.

“Okay, guys. Should we do it like this?”

I bent my knees and made eye contact with the boys and girls.

And then, I looked at Lily first and made a suggestion.

“This time, I’ll give it to Ian. Instead, I’ll eat Lily’s favorite pizza for lunch.”

“Huh… .”

Lili folded her arms alone with a sullen expression.

Then he muttered in a slightly smaller voice.

“Are you adding cheese too?”

“Of course. I’ll add as much as I want.”

“Okay. That should be it. It’s a fair trade.”

Lili was a very thorough person, even in small transactions, no matter who she resembled.

I wonder what it will become….

“And for dessert, we’ll have a strawberry crepe from a nearby dessert shop.”

“…!”

He said while looking at Helena.

Then, even she, who had grown up to be quite mature, had her eyes wide open like a cute lioness cub.

“Thank you for your advice, Father.”

Finally, I looked at Ian.

The guy was already loosening up, turning his shoulders as if he was ready.

“Okay, shall we go? Ian?”

“Yes, Father!”

Perhaps due to his special athletic ability, the silver-haired boy climbed onto my shoulders with great skill.

Although still on the skinny side, the guy had very strong legs and thighs.

“Then, Class A, Class B, and Class C, please come up to the playground. The final team competition will begin!!”

Many distinguished knights have claimed their sons’ horses as their steeds.

The young children stood on the battlefield with solemn expressions just like their father.

“Ian. Should we take care of the enemy leader first?”

“Okay, I’m ready.”

The guy who understood what I meant had black eyes gleaming between his silver hair.

And then he focused on Richard and his daughter, Lina, who was riding on his shoulders.

She’s clearly a girl of the same age, but she looks similar to Ian in size.

It seemed like he had inherited the strong bones that were characteristic of the Richard family.

From noble mtl dot come

“Goes…!!”

I bent my knees slightly.

And then, the moment came when it bloomed again.

He ran towards Richard so fast that the dust flew.

However, there were many other knight fathers in the playground besides him.

As I quickly twisted my body to dodge them, Ian followed suit and skillfully snatched their flags away.

However, the other parents noticed my identity and did not put up any resistance.

It was burdensome to approach me because I knew that I was the husband of the emperor and many empresses.

Richard noticed this and shouted in a loud voice.

“Don’t be scared!! Her Majesty Leia told me to do some exercise anyway!!”

Come to think of it, Richard was Leah’s closest confidant.

He had secretly received her orders.

“His Majesty has said that he will take responsibility. Whoever steals his flag will be given a golden medal!!”

“Wow―――!!”

Only then did the parents who had been reluctant to confront me start to open their eyes.

And, I have been challenging fair competition without hesitation.

“No, Leah said that…?!”

“I think it’s because my father sleeps on the sofa all day these days… ”

Even when Ian gave me a warning, I just shut my eyes tightly.

“Ugh… I kept my distance from you because you’re my fourth child… but you’re finally making me want to eat you again…!!”

Like the other wives, Leah was especially greedy.

A queen who is very sensuous in the evenings, but is very discreet on the outside.

I can already hear her voice in my head, using it as an excuse when I lose a game.

“You lost the game, Veil? Then I guess I’ll have to give you a massage myself. You’re not trying to reject the Emperor’s touch, are you?”

Blue eyes that glow in the dark.

If you are captivated by those eyes, time passes without any answers.

I also still tend to my garden, so my body is still in its prime, so nights with her are enjoyable… .

If she has more children here, she will no longer be able to run the country.

At this, my spine tingled and I glared at him with intense black eyes.

“Ian, can you hold on tighter?”

“Of course, father.”

Our eldest son has a very strong lower body, perhaps because he resembles Irina.

Thanks to him, I was able to take the game more seriously.

I will definitely achieve victory and use that as an excuse to get through tonight safely…!!

――――――!!

He lowered his body slightly and outran the knights with overwhelming speed.

The father and children who had been trying to pounce on me and take over Geumilbong were all just staring at my afterimage with blank expressions.

However, there was one person who still kept an eye on me with his rather excellent skills.

Richard Stonefield and his daughter Lina standing right before our eyes.

The two of them prepared to greet me with their identical blue eyes.

“Come, Veil!!”

They rushed at each other at a rapid pace.

And then, at the moment when we were about to bump shoulders.

“…!!”

We instinctively thought of our children and reached out our hands to try to persuade them to bump into each other.

They linked arms and began a power struggle.

“Ugh… … . It’s still the same even though it was always spread out!!”

“Have you been exercising lately?”

I looked at Richard like a sly fox.

Then, the guy raised his eyes and signaled to his daughter.

“Lina, now is the time!”

“Yes, Dad!!”

While the fathers were wrestling with each other’s hands.

Lina, a blonde girl, stretched out her arms with a fierce movement even at a young age.

“Ian, watch out!!”

He shouted out loud at the extraordinary talent.

Then, Ian quickly twisted his body like a wolf to avoid the girl’s surprise attack.

After that, he immediately counterattacked with his sharp eyes flashing like a fox.

“Whew…!!”

Lina didn’t moan in pain like other girls her age.

She evaded Ian’s hand by flexibly leaning back with a shout like a warrior.

As expected of the daughter of the Knight Commander, she was no pushover.

Children who are already engaged in fierce flag-capture battles at such a young age.

Lili and Helena cheered them on from the bench seats.

“Dad, don’t give up!!”

“Cheer up, Ian!!”

While the two children were shouting in heated voices.

A familiar shadow loomed behind them.

“Is the game over yet?”

The girls turned their heads at this.

Among them, Lili welcomed the visitors with a brighter voice.

“mother!”

“I’m a little late because I had to take my little brother to horseback riding practice.”

Lydia hugged her daughter, who was half a head shorter than her.

Dressed in a black one-piece dress, she was holding the reins while her son, Leon, was riding a calf.

Unlike himself, who was not good at horseback riding, he was training his son diligently.

Leon has black hair and red eyes like Lily.

However, unlike the older sister Angkaljin, he was closer to a gentle and pretty boy.

“Did your father arrive on time?”

“Yes, I am participating in capture the flag.”

Helena answered Lydia in a relaxed voice, like family.

Following this, the eastern monarch of the empire turned his head and looked at the fierce competition scene.

“Huh… Why are the kids putting so much effort into the game?”

“But you didn’t use Mana.”

Lydia glanced at Helena, who looked just like Leah.

Then he snickered, saying that it didn’t taste like anything.

「Ahhh-. While the match is coming to an end, the fight between Captain Richard and His Highness Veil is still fierce!!」

“Khuh… … .”

“Ian, are you okay? If it’s hard, it’s okay to give up!!”

I looked worriedly at my son, who was engaged in a close fight with Lina.

Then the guy impressed me with his very special words.

“No!! I will definitely win so that my father can rest in the garden!!”

“Sigh… Who did I take after to be so precocious…?”

Richard also looked up at his precious only daughter and said.

“Lina, it’s okay. If you’re having a hard time, you can come down.”

“No, Dad…! I told you I wanted to flatten Uncle Veil’s nose!!”

The daughter on the other side was also quite filial.

Perhaps because she was only 9 years old, Lina was not pushed around by Ian even though she was a girl.

The moment she reached out to Ian’s shoulder with a hand movement full of filial piety.

The guy who didn’t miss the other person’s greed had a sharp wolf-like gaze.

Percussion―――!!

“Ouch…!!”

Ian predicted the path of Lina’s arm and struck her with the back of his hand.

The moment the girl frowned, he reached out and snatched the blue flag hanging from her back.

“no…!!”

“Ah, the results are in!! Ian Andalusia Mikhail has taken the captain’s flag… “

Lina’s blue eyes shook gently.

At this, Ian felt sorry and kept his lips tightly shut.

“The final winning team is Class A…!!”

There was a lot of applause from our class and the parents’ group.

The kids who were eliminated and waiting on the bench also shouted in excitement.

“Wow―――!!”

Amidst the cheers, I silently looked at Richard.

Then, the guy also let out a rough breath and smiled faintly.

“It was fun after a long time.”

“Me too. But I would like you to refrain from talking about me in front of your daughter.”

I looked up at Lina, who was looking depressed, and said.

Her blue eyes sparkled as if she felt sorry for losing to her father.

“I’m sorry, Father… I really wanted to win this time…”

Richard’s lips parted automatically when he saw his daughter’s crying face.

And then, he comforted her with a somewhat serious expression.

“No. This is a festival for you guys, so why are you apologizing to Dad…? Rather, it was my fault.”

Was it because I unconsciously told myself at home that I would beat Veil this time?

It seems that her father’s playful determination felt like a burden to his daughter.

That’s why you have to be careful about your children’s behavior.

“Father, you don’t have to worry. I’m happy as long as you grow up healthy…”

I looked with pleasure at the sight of Richard comforting his daughter.

The boy has now become a mature adult who knows how to focus on his own duties rather than his competitive spirit.

“… .”

Ian, the protagonist of the victory who captured the flag, also watched the scene silently.

Seeing the crying girl made me feel sorry for no reason.

“Okay, then everyone from Class A, please come up to the stage!!”

Still, the awards ceremony had to be held.

In response, Helena, the representative of Class A, took the lead and Ian also began to climb up onto the podium.

Most of the children stood in a line with excited expressions on their faces.

And then, Ian, Lili, the main characters of the victory, and Helena, the class president, came out to the front row.

“I sincerely congratulate you on winning the 91st Laurel Cradle Academy Athletic Competition!!”

Mosian, who was appointed as the headmaster of the academy, presented the trophy with a big smile.

After retiring from his post as prime minister, he was spending his time happily looking after his children.

“thank you.”

Helena took the trophy in a calm voice and handed it over to Ian, the hero of the victory.

Then, the silver-haired boy briefly lifted the trophy and glanced at Lina, who was sobbing under the podium.

“what’s the matter?”

Lili, standing next to him, tilted her head and asked.

Her pigtails also tilted to one side, as if she was curious.

“for a moment….”

Ian briefly handed the trophy over to Lily and then jumped down from the stage.

And then, he approached Lina.

“Reena.”

“why….”

The blonde girl turned her head at Ian’s question.

As if he was embarrassed to show his crying face.

“If it’s okay, wouldn’t you like to share the trophy with me…?”

“What are you talking about? The winner is you, Class A.”

Ian’s pitch-black eyes glowed softly in his silver hair.

His appearance and voice were very calm.

“It doesn’t matter who wins. This is a competition we’re here to enjoy. So let’s celebrate together.”

“… .”

Lina glanced at her father.

Then, I, who was standing next to him, tapped Richard on the side.

“Shouldn’t we at least take a big commemorative photo?”

The Commander of the Knights of Light noticed my intentions and nodded silently while looking at his daughter.

“… .”

Was it because even his father asked him to respond to Ian’s kindness?

Lina tried to stop crying and held Ian’s hand.

And, as the class president of Class B, we went up on stage together.

The situation was so lively that even the class presidents from each class participated in the event.

Thanks to this, the photographer looked at the packed stage with satisfaction and exclaimed.

“Okay, then I’ll take a picture. One, two, three… … !!”

――――――.

Richard and I looked at the novel technology of the photographs airlifted from the duchy with delight.

“good night.”

“what.”

At Richard’s firm question, I glanced up at him with a sly look.

“Just leaving a record of our children growing up like this. The world has become such a better place.”

“Well, it’s amazing how a drawing that would take hours to draw can be completed in an instant.”

I patted Richard on the shoulder happily.

And then, the moment you turn your head.

“… .”

Lydia, who had come up close to me, suddenly came into view.

“Oh, Lydia’s here…?”

Now, she has become so friendly that she speaks informally to me.

Lydia’s expression was like that of a very angry black panther.

She raised her fists in the air.

And then he patted my shoulder and scolded me.

“Why are you putting so much effort into a kids’ game!!”

“Ugh…!! It hurts, it hurts!”

I was sobbing and shaking under Lydia’s touch.

Then, her meaningful words made my eyes widen like a fox’s.

“If you don’t have a place to put all that effort, then just use it tonight…!”

‘huh…?’

Lydia’s longing, lustful red eyes stared up at me.

At this, Richard coughed and took a step back.

“Richard, do you remember we decided to take the kids to a pizza place today?”

Please tell me you remember!!
