Became the Escort Knight That the Princesses Were Obsessed With - Chapter 305



305. 10 Years Later (8)

A dinner party with the craftsmen and their wives.

Even though there were so many people, there was a quiet silence.

‘I think I misspoke.’

Well, even though Bakal is far away, it is a very distant kingdom.

Moreover, since she exchanged letters with Christina almost every day, the wives were keeping a close eye on her.

I didn’t know that these proud and arrogant women could be so jealous.

especially….

“Bakal? I wonder if it’s too much for you, a person who is the head of the empire, to come and visit.”

Your Majesty the Emperor.

From the beginning of our relationship, and even now, I have been wanting to sleep with him every week.

Even though I just gave birth to the fourth child, you’re still overreacting like this.

She spoke calmly on the outside through her splendid golden hair, but I could tell.

I realized that I had a really sullen expression on my face right now.

“It seems too dangerous for the Grandmaster, the protector of the Empire, to vacate the country.”

She was the one who gently hugged me from behind while saying plausible words.

Irina also chimed in, agreeing with the soft and sensual tone.

“That’s right. I think it would be more appropriate for Prime Minister Damian or Director Lin to visit.”

As if I had urgent work to do in the empire.

What it was could be seen from the strange smile on the corner of her lips beneath her innocent smile.

“The Black Knights were quite popular in Bakal too.”

Currently, Commander Lin’s Black Knights have established themselves as one of the Empire’s flagship knight orders, also responsible for public diplomacy.

In particular, her decadent yet warm-hearted appearance is impressive.

“I agree. The veil should be attached to the capital.”

Lydia also folded her arms and made up her mind.

Her eyes, which had been sharp and piercing, now overflowed with mature and feminine charm.

“Phew… .”

Mago and Miya also nodded in agreement to the royal family’s words.

In the past, I had a hard time with those high-ranking women.

Now, we have developed a relationship where we chatter together and even make strange plans together.

“That’s what the children think, Veil. Is there anything else you want to say?”

The situation was like listening to the daughters’ opinions and holding out a big palm.

And most importantly, he asked for my opinion.

“If you refuse to go to Bakal, the banquet will send Prime Minister Damian.”

I will send an unrelated prime minister to the party you invited me to out of the blue.

If we do that, not only he but also I will be reprimanded later.

If we are unlucky, it could lead to a situation where the two countries become estranged.

To that extent, Christina also truly cared about me.

“no.”

I recalled a scene from the past when we survived together against the werewolves.

And then, he stood up calmly and spoke to the most high-ranking people in the empire.

“Although Christina has come down to the capital to see me many times, I have rarely been there myself.”

He added while looking at the situation.

With serious black eyes that were different from usual.

“Your Majesty, you must have had a lot of resentment towards me over the years.”

Baron Greta and Leonhard, who were very aware of reality, nodded.

It’s definitely nothing else than my father-in-law’s birthday.

“In this situation, I think that if I refuse the invitation, things could escalate into a problem between the two countries.”

“It’s true that my precious and only daughter came to the empire without complaint for ten years, but my son-in-law comes only once every six months, so it’s disappointing.”

Baron Greta stared at me and said, “Do you agree with this opinion?”

He was implicitly reprimanding me for rarely visiting his house.

I tried to smile and added kindly to the craftsman.

As if he was saying that he would come see me more often from now on.

“Of course, that won’t happen, but if it’s something that can be resolved by me going there, I think it’s better to eliminate any future troubles in advance.”

I put my hand on my left chest.

And then, he spoke politely and confidently to the family in front of him.

“That way, I can keep the promise I made at the wedding to love everyone equally.”

The wives listened to me and were silent for a while.

Because you have been monopolizing my love for the past 10 years.

Now that they are trying to sanction me again, I have nothing more to say because it involves national security issues.

“That’s right. Thanks to that promise back then, I was barely able to allow my daughters to marry.”

Leonhard took a deep breath.

Even just thinking about it, he really thought of killing me, but these days, his anger has subsided a lot because of the kids who are acting cute.

Even just looking at my face made me feel annoyed.

Because the fox cubs resembled my daughters’ outstanding appearance and my friendly personality, they were very cute.

“From now on, I guess I’ll have to consider it once every two months.”

The emperor’s father finally made up his mind and drank the water in one gulp.

After that, he looked at his three daughters, including me, and the other wives and spoke solemnly.

“It seems that the will of the king has been decided. It would be better to send him to this Bakal banquet.”

Although he had stepped down from the throne, Leonhard was still respected by the people.

That’s why the wives didn’t immediately refute his words.

Instead, I started looking for a compromise, wondering if he would let me go.

Just like my strength, which has grown stronger and unchanging over time, their affection remains the same.

“Then, let’s do this. We will send a diplomatic delegation to celebrate the King’s birthday.”

Leah took a sip of wine and opened her mouth.

Her eyes were sharp, like a lioness seriously planning to pounce on her prey.

“If the Emperor himself came to congratulate me, Bakal would be very moved.”

“Leah, are you saying it yourself…?”

No, the empress who had just become pregnant with her fourth child would embark on such a long journey.

Leonhard, as well as the other falcons, looked on in bewilderment.

However, Leah paid no attention to their gaze.

He tried to pretend that nothing had happened and pass it off with a plausible remark.

“Yes, the great king himself came here in the past, so he didn’t tell me not to go, right?”

Then I looked at Leah with a stern expression.

“At that time, it was not the King who came, but his eldest son. It was completely different from now when he became King.”

He stared at her intently with a look of genuine concern.

Then he added a word in a kind voice.

“And the journey to Bakal will take quite a while. I do not wish to cause any trouble to my precious Majesty and the child.”

Leah stared intently into my hazy eyes.

It looks like it hasn’t completely come over yet.

So I convinced her with a final blow just for her.

“If you wait, I will definitely come back healthy and tell you two a joyful tale of bravery.”

“… .”

Leah let out a short breath after hearing those words.

Although I didn’t really feel like it, I felt my will and silently agreed.

“Okay, Veil.”

but.

She was definitely not the type of person to just let it go so easily.

“When you get back, let me know what fun things happened.”

Is it because everyone has already become one family?

She said elegantly, placing her finger on her red, luscious lips.

“In the bedroom, I mean.”

She makes the number ‘2’ by saying that she has not even been pregnant for two months.

She gave me a sign with a sensual smile.

The Emperor failed to accompany him.

Then, this time, Irina confidently raised her hand and made her claim.

“Then, I’ll go. Bakal is a region that borders our northern part, so it’s under my jurisdiction, right?”

This was also something I could accept naturally.

The power and status of the wives also rose considerably.

“No. Your Majesty, aren’t you currently preparing for the founding ceremony to be held in the north?”

I looked at Irina and smiled.

“I think it would be a problem if you were absent from the largest festival in the empire.”

“That’s right. I don’t know about other regions. It’s right for the highest leader of the region he or she is in charge of to keep his or her position.”

Leonhard also nodded indifferently.

At this, Irina died with a regretful expression.

The sight was very fresh and cute, like a gloomy silver wolf.

“Haha… Then I guess there’s nothing I can do. I have no choice but to go myself-.”

Lydia stood up proudly, placing her hands on her hips.

However, she couldn’t escape my clever words either.

“I think Lady Lydia must be having a hard time too. Isn’t there joint training between Samad and the Knights of the Empire during the banquet?”

She has outstanding leadership skills, to the point where she can handle the articles herself.

Before it was mentioned that I would attend the Bakal banquet today, I had been so absorbed in preparing for the event that I had memorized the textbook by heart.

“Well, shouldn’t that be left to Batsuna Tauhan?”

“I heard you say before that you would personally direct them and that they should just focus on their work. Now, it will be difficult for them to take over the work during the remaining period.”

Lydia pursed her lips in annoyance as I spoke only the most appropriate words.

And then he turned his head away with a very distorted expression.

Just like when I was just twenty years old ten years ago.

“You speak very well…!”

Her pigtails twitched as if to reflect her current emotions.

I don’t know why everyone becomes so girlish when I get involved, to the point where they neglect their own work.

As the three princesses were all restrained by my eloquence, the docile cats began to sneak up onto the kitchen floor.

Mago and Miya thought this was the moment and raised their hands to join the fight.

“Then how about I, who am not the commander of the knights but rather someone with some leisure time, accompany you?”

“Me too. I’m also an ordinary person, so I think I have enough justification to attend as a wife.”

Our wives can now confidently express their opinions in front of the royal family.

Come to think of it, they might be part of the royal family too.

The two men were wondering how to refuse the arduous journey.

But, this time, the rejected wives themselves stepped forward and stopped him, so there was no need for that.

“King Miya, you are pregnant with your second child. Do you really need to accompany a knight on such a difficult journey?”

“Miss Margo. Bakal is still a city that rejects witchcraft. I’m worried that you might be in danger if you go there.”

Lydia and Irina each threw punches at them like a knight duo who had been in sync for a long time.

Here, Emperor Leia delivers the finishing blow.

“That’s right. Both of you are important members who cannot be absent, so I would like you to refrain from traveling abroad.”

Leah smiled and spoke to the two of them.

But, I knew instinctively.

‘I can’t go out, so no one can go!’

That the emperor’s jealousy was deeply entrenched inside.

“Well then, I guess there’s nothing I can do. It would be better for you to go to the banquet alone.”

“I agree. I don’t really want my daughter to go through that difficult path.”

“dad!!”

Miya shouted at the Baron with a very aggrieved expression.

Then, the craftsman simply shook his head firmly.

“It’ll only last a week at best. Just be patient, Miya.”

“Miyaaah… … .”

The black-haired knight muttered softly in a dead voice.

At this, I smiled and comforted her.

“I’ll buy a lot of souvenirs. I’ll also bring Mika’s favorite Bacal chocolate.”

“I have to go quickly… .”

I looked at my wives with an apologetic expression.

but.

My heart was on the verge of flying away.

‘A whole week of free time-!!’

You can even sleep to your heart’s content in the carriage along the way!

Enjoy the festival at Bakal!

From the beginning, my mind felt like it had set off on a journey.

“Okay, let’s start with the food. If we keep doing this, the dinner will get cold.”

Leonhardt smiled and lifted his glass first.

In response, everyone became one family and toasted.

‘Ugh-. The alcohol is going down really well in my mouth today…!!’

I drank a lot of alcohol, even though I don’t usually drink.

I thoroughly enjoyed a dinner for the first time in a while, eating meat to my heart’s content.

but.

Until this point, I had no idea.

After dinner, while I was sleeping soundly in the bedroom of the palace.

Because wild beasts, worried about the long journey, came to mark us.

They were so active that it was hard to tolerate the bimonthly gap.
