Became the Escort Knight That the Princesses Were Obsessed With - Chapter 310



310. 10 years later (13)

As I cheered with a big smile, Leah’s illusion that appeared above the crystal ball also responded.

She watched Beck with a sensual gaze, her chin resting on the back of her hand.

“You’ve grown up well, Beck. I guess you’re about the same height as our Leo.”

At the Emperor’s voice, Beck turned his head during the duel and cautiously greeted him.

“Oh, hello… Grandmother… .”

In such cases, it is usually dangerous because you are allowing the opponent to attack you from behind.

But who would make such a surprise attack in front of the emperor?

Luten would often scratch the back of his head to figure out the situation.

“Oh my, Grandmother. Leah, you look so old. Hehe… “

Lydia, with her pigtails, suddenly appeared next to Leah’s welcome.

She grinned like a devil and waved at Beck.

“Beck, you’ve grown so much. Our Leon is still a little kid.”

“Lee, Lydia’s mother… Hello… .”

The atmosphere in the arena became even more tense as the Empire’s de facto co-chief of staff appeared.

Because it is a critical situation where great kings of a country are appearing one after another.

“Hello, Beck!! You’re about the same height as Ian, huh? You look really cool with your sword.”

Irina suddenly rested her chin on Leah’s shoulder.

The silver-haired, elegant princess smiled and waved her hand.

There are probably only two people who would be so friendly and at His Majesty’s side.

“You guys… Would you please step out of my office?”

“No. Who would want to secretly contact Veil like that?”

“It’s still gloomy even after 10 years.”

Bakal’s vassals were at a loss as to what to do with the trivial conversations of the royal family unfolding in a foreign country.

I was also confused.

I forced a smile and waved both arms at my wives.

“Hey ladies, the kids are sparring right now…!!”

The three beautiful women in front of you are all wives.

At those words, Bakal’s vassals glanced at me.

“Okay-. Beck, fighting!!”

“You know you can’t lose if you’re the son of Veil, right? You have to win-.”

Beck bowed politely to his grandmothers with a red face.

The guy must have been very embarrassed because he kept his head down and couldn’t raise it for quite a while.

“I’m sorry, we’re so interested in Beck. Let’s continue with the duel.”

Empress Rhea apologized, but I knew her intentions.

The sight of the Empire’s highest authority declaring that he is the child they are eyeing.

This is exactly why I contacted you yesterday.

“Let’s continue with the match. Everyone, just focus on the sparring!”

Only after hearing the professor’s shout did Luten and Beck look at each other again.

The guy who was the crown prince of Marton somehow tried to focus only on the duel.

But, perhaps it was because I realized that the Emperor and I were behind Beck, who I thought had fallen behind even in the royal family.

The gaze that looked down on others disappeared, and it was natural to feel nervous.

Beck, on the other hand, was different.

A boy who thought that his father, who only visited him once every six months, neglected him among his children.

However, seeing the Emperor come to cheer me on today gave me my confidence back.

Because I finally realized that I am loved by everyone.

“Ha… Look at those eyes. Do you think that just because the Emperor is cheering you on, your skills will improve?”

Luten expressed his displeasure at Beck’s liveliness, which he had been overwhelmed by until then.

I swung my sword again to pressure him as usual.

Kwaaang―――!!

Rather, Luten decided to use this situation as an opportunity.

If you think about it, the big shots of the empire are watching this match.

The guy injected as much mana into the sword he was holding as possible.

A blue aura began to rise up the sword’s hilt, giving it strength.

‘A 10 year old is already trying to use Aura… .’

I looked at that guy with concern.

Because in the Empire, Aurors aren’t taught until the age of 12.

Of course, I supported my body with excellent teachers and elixirs… .

There’s a reason why there’s an appropriate age.

Kaaang!!

“Ugh… …!!”

Beck’s wrists trembled as Luten’s sword grew heavier and heavier.

However, the special guy tried not to dodge the sword but to face it straight in the face.

As far as possible towards the sword handle.

To somehow avoid it.

I took the blows while remembering the tips I had taught you.

“How is it…? Can you stop this too!!”

As Beck’s expression grew increasingly distorted, Luten became more and more confident in the power of the Auror.

He pulled up the mana from his entire body, starting from the tips of his toes, and charged at his son.

“Of course… … . Your attacks are so light… … !!”

The black-haired boy smirked with eyes as sharp as a fox’s.

And then, with quick movements, he retreated and put some distance between them.

“Is running away the most you can do?!”

Luten scanned Beck’s boots with his characteristically sharp eyes.

If you retreat at that speed, when you chase after it and strike it… .

‘Counterattack is impossible…!!’

Luten, who had been trained by excellent teachers, caught it right away.

And then, with the aura he had pulled up, he rushed at Beck before he got tired.

“That’s going to be hard to avoid…!”

Christina must have noticed that too, because she instantly grabbed my hand tightly.

After that, when we looked at Beck together with concern.

“Beck…!!”

I gave Tina a handshake.

Then he said with a confident look in his eyes.

“It’s okay, Tina.”

These are all the little fox cub’s schemes.

―――――.

Luten quickly swung his sword at Beck, who was hastily retreating.

That moment.

“… … !!”

The black-haired boy did not raise his sword in a hurry to defend himself.

Rather, I let go of both hands.

Kaaang!!

As the sharp blade hit the floor, a loud friction sound echoed.

And when that sound was over.

“Whew… …!!”

Beck twisted his body with his lightened body to avoid Luten’s sword.

At the same time, he grabbed Luten’s arms, which were filled with mana, with both his free hands.

I struck his wrist with my elbow.

“Whoaaah… …!!”

The groans of Crown Prince Martin filled the arena.

At that sight, Luten’s father suddenly stood up from his seat.

“Luthena!!”

The guy grabbed his swollen wrist with a smirk.

Then Beck asked cautiously with an apologetic expression.

“Are you okay…? Did I hit it too hard…?”

However, his son’s regret could not calm Luten down.

He was seen being subdued by light combat, without even holding a sword.

Because I just can’t accept that appearance.

The guy was clearly furious and it was obvious he was going to run wild.

I can be sure of that.

From noble mtl dot come

Well, the current situation is… .

“It’s the same as before.”

“Yeah, that’s right.”

Early spring exactly ten years ago.

Because it was exactly the same as what happened at the knight appointment ceremony.

“I won’t leave this son of a b*tch alone… … !!”

Luten shouted with a distorted face.

And then, somehow, with both hands, he grabbed the sword that was heavily loaded with aura.

The next moment is when I swing my sword with all my might towards Beck.

――――――!!

Blue mana began to surge in a crescent shape.

‘Black magic…!!’

A sword spirit that was blown away in a moment of anger at a young age.

It may look very weak, but it would be a huge threat to Beck if he faced it.

I tried to storm into the stadium with Grand Aura in my eyes.

The academy professors also saw this and hurriedly ran towards the son.

“Beck, get out of here!!”

I really hoped Beck would just dodge the attack with his whole body.

but.

My son didn’t back down anymore.

“No. I won’t avoid it!!”

The boy decided to protect himself as his father had told him to.

Then, he picked up his sword that had fallen on the floor and raised it with all his might.

The mindset that if you don’t yield to any force and stand up to it, you will be able to protect your parents later.

With that mindset, Beck faced the swordsman.

Kwaaang!!

The guy’s sword clashed with the blue sword energy that Luten had unleashed.

Then, a loud scream along with a strong spark echoed through the training ground.

“Ugh… … !!”

The appearance of clenching one’s teeth and enduring.

There’s no way a child who hasn’t even come yet can stop that.

――――――.

I ran up the stairs of the training hall and got right in front of the guy.

But, at that moment.

He yelled at everyone to stay put and not help Beck.

“Everyone, please wait a moment!!”

Beck, blocking the sword with both eyes wide open.

Because a blue aura began to slowly swirl around in the guy’s blue eyes.

Sword expert.

The appearance of a low-level expert starting to manifest at the young age of 10.

Unlike Luten, who achieved enlightenment through the guidance of elixirs and masters, he is awakening on his own.

And, the auror who awakens on his own will be able to advance to intermediate level in no time.

“Could it be that Beck’s aura has manifested…? No matter how much I taught him, he didn’t move at all…!”

Christina also came to me.

Leah, Irina, and Lydia also watched the situation with interest.

Beck, who is receiving everyone’s attention but is not giving up.

He shouted loudly and struck out his sword with all his might.

―――――!!

That moment.

Blue mana began to wrap around the guy’s entire body, protecting him.

The sword energy that was struck with all its might soared toward the sky and disappeared into thin air.

“… .”

Thanks to that, the training ground was briefly filled with silence.

The professors suddenly approached Luten and began using defensive magic.

They stared blankly up at Beck, who had himself launched his sword towards the safety of the sky.

“Haaah… . Haa… .”

The black-haired boy was unaware of this and just let out heavy breaths.

“I guess the results have come out.”

In the quiet training ground, the Emperor of the Empire, Leia, spoke with a pleased expression.

Irina nodded happily at her shoulder.

“How can this be… … . A 10-year-old just got hit by a black magic bullet… … ?”

Prince Marten, Luten’s father, had redness under his eyes.

He finally realized that Beck was the son of the Grandmaster and slumped down in his chair.

“The match is over, the winner is Beck Mikhail Bakar!!”

The Academy’s swordsmanship professor shouted in a loud voice.

That moment.

“Wow―――!!”

Before I knew it, the imperial diplomatic corps that had come to support Beck following me were loudly congratulating me.

Damian shouted, jumping so hard that his glasses shook.

“I can tell right away whose son he is.”

“Yeah, it’s like seeing Veil when he was younger.”

“Ian and Leon should be nervous about this-.”

The imperial family also sent their applause one after another.

In the midst of that ecstatic celebration, Beck looked back at me with a dumbfounded expression.

“father……!”

The guy looked up at me and his cute eyes twinkled.

Then, I quickly ran over and hugged him tightly.

“Father, is that an Auror that I just shot…?”

The guy in my arms asked me back with a blank expression.

But I just shook my head.

“No, that’s not what’s important right now.”

I wrapped my arms around his neck.

And then he whispered with a proud expression.

“The heart that takes up the sword to protect someone. Always remember that heart.”

Beck, whose soft cheeks were pressed against my shoulder, stretched out.

The guy blinked his big eyes like a fox cub… .

“Yes, Father…!”

He nodded as if he understood what I meant.

“Beck.”

Christina also came leisurely towards us.

She also hugged me and Beck and closed her eyes comfortably.

“You’ve worked hard, my son.”

The evaluation of Dalian was so heated that it could have been seen as cold.

But is it because of the warm image of our family?

The duel ended very peacefully.

“This, this-. Should Ian be nervous?”

Leah glanced at Irina and smiled with the leisurely smile of a queen.

At this, she smiled faintly and tried to speak confidently.

“Our Ian will awaken his Aura soon too-!!”

“Instead, why don’t we invite Beck to the Empire while we’re at it?”

Lydia looked at her little son with a relaxed expression.

“Well, as exchange students between the two countries.”

Exchange student.

The culture of international students coming to study abroad has existed for many years.

I perked up my ears at the thought that Beck and Christina could legally live together in the Empire.

“Is that okay…?”
