Became the Escort Knight That the Princesses Were Obsessed With - Chapter 313



313. 10 Years Later (16)

Beck’s lips parted as he faced the seven commanders of the empire.

“These are the heroes of the empire… .”

Crown Prince Leon, the eldest son of the Emperor, is proficient in numerous great magics.

And then, his close associate, Balderian, caught my eye first.

“This man is the son of Veil.”

The captains looked at Beck with fondness.

“You already became a sword expert at the age of 10?”

“Oh, that’s right… .”

As Beck answered in a mumbled voice, the three female knight commanders chuckled.

Camilla and Echina in particular teased each other by pointing at the guy’s eyes and me alternately.

“Look at those fox-like eyes. How can they look so similar?”

“When you grow up, don’t be like your dad.”

The atmosphere is friendly with all the managers.

But this was just the beginning.

I look at Richard, Bats, and Allen, who are known to be the strongest in the empire, with a relaxed expression.

“You too, say hello. This is my son-.”

“Wow… You really look exactly like your teacher. Is it because your hair is black?”

Because they all called their father ‘Master’.

Beck then looked up at me blankly with a dumbfounded expression.

It’s as if I want to ask what kind of ‘life’ my father lived that he was close to all these people.

“Haha… How is it? You’ve grown a lot, haven’t you?”

I came close to my son.

And then, he said, squeezing the guy’s tense shoulders.

“I’m going to be an exchange student in the Empire for the next few years.”

He looked at the 7th division leaders and said.

Of course, when I saw Balderian and Leon, I smiled faintly.

“So, please take good care of me from now on-”

“Veil, isn’t this a request…?”

Leon Hwang looked at me like that and snickered.

Then I put my hands together and rubbed them together in a clever manner.

“Hey–. Aren’t you the guy who wants to protect not just the Bakal Kingdom, but the entire continent-.”

He approached the eldest son of the empire in a cheeky manner.

And then he flaunted his epaulets.

“It’s so special because it has such deep meaning.”

“Surely, a man should have that level of ambition.”

Balderian nodded in agreement.

He was in his sixties and looked down at Beck with a grim expression.

“I will help you achieve that ambition, Beck Mikhail!!”

“Hee, heeeek… …!! Understood, thank you!!”

Even in old age, the general’s fierce face remains the same.

But he’s still a good guy.

While the captains were petting Beck.

I could hear women talking outside the terrace.

Then came the sound of the servants greeting them in loud voices.

When Leonhard heard that, he called me.

“Go to the garden now, Mikhail.”

A craftsman with a relaxed expression, carrying a backpack on his back.

He looked quite relieved after seeing Beck, and his expression was kind.

“It looks like your daughters have come to see you.”

“Understood, Your Majesty. Then I will conclude my report here.”

I motioned for Beck to come toward the door.

Then, Camilla and Echina’s son, whose chubby cheeks had been pulled tight, hurriedly followed them.

“Goodbye, Beck.”

“See you in class-.”

The two beautiful female knight commanders waved their hands lightly.

Beck bowed with a blushing face in front of that splendid beauty.

“It was an honor to meet you, Commanders…!!”

“Your manners are the opposite of your father’s.”

As Camilla said with a chuckle, Echina agreed.

Same goes for Rosanna.

The three beautiful women looked at me with strange eyes.

“You’re against it…!! I’ve been so diligent lately!!”

When I asked while looking towards Leonhard and Balderian, the two men turned cold and serious.

The prince covered his lips with his fist to hide his laughter at the sight of his father and general.

“Ahem…!! Then, see you next time-!!”

I held Beck’s hand and quickly escaped from the Emperor’s office.

Then, the last knight commander who had been waiting alone at the door followed.

Gray eyes shining softly in long, black hair.

In that calm and quiet atmosphere, he finds himself becoming reverent.

“Did you have a nice trip?”

As she opened her mouth, a voice as static as the atmosphere filled the hallway.

“Yeah, nothing happened to you either?”

I looked at her with calm eyes as she became the Commander of the Imperial Knights.

A completely different expression from when he was joking around just a moment ago.

“We’re always the same, you know. We’re peaceful.”

After Camilla served as the head of the imperial household and stepped down as the head of the training unit herself.

Naturally, Lin, who was second only to me in military power in the empire, became the guardian of the imperial family.

“Your face looks better?”

“Really? I thought it was the same as usual.”

The captain unconsciously placed his hand on his cheek.

She no longer had a bandage over her left eye.

However, since he couldn’t avoid his real name and scars, he covered them with one side of his hair.

“Do you want to go to the garden together?”

As we reached the end of the hallway, we heard several voices.

I pointed there and asked the black-haired knight.

“Can I come with you?”

Lin looked at the green grass with sunlight pouring in through her empty gray eyes.

Even after ten years, her absence seemed unfilled.

but.

“of course.”

I reached out to Lin like that.

And just like he had raised her up in their last showdown ten years ago.

“… .”

Lin looked down at the hand silently.

Then, he slowly came towards me… .

“… … !”

He just lightly kissed me on the lips.

“You can just look at it separately at night.”

Her black hair brushed the tip of my nose.

After that, Lin left the seat with lighter steps.

Beck stared at her blankly with wide eyes.

Then, in Lin’s empty eyes… .

I gradually witnessed it coming back to life.

“Father, who is that person…?”

“Who do you think you are?”

When I asked again, the young fox became absorbed in thought.

After that, he quietly expressed what he felt.

“I heard you were the captain, but you had a different vibe from the others.”

As expected, Beck is just like me, with a good sense of humor.

He added with a serious expression.

“It was just like how my father used to look when he was going to spar.”

Just like I killed countless people before I returned.

Lindo had to face countless enemies to survive.

“Really…? Who does our son resemble to have such good intuition?”

I covered my lips with my fist.

And then, with a forced cough, she revealed who she was.

“Your little, little, little mother….”

Beck blinked his big blue eyes as he listened to me.

Then, he followed me as I walked ahead with my lips parted.

“Oh, so your mothers know too?”

“What did they think of me as…? After 5 years, everyone acknowledged me.”

Only then did Beck breathe a deep sigh of relief.

And then, standing next to me, he entered the bright imperial garden.

「――――――」

“Veil, are you back-?”

The first one to welcome me was Irina.

She had neatly combed her silver hair and was holding a watermelon on a tray with her second daughter, Elle.

“Yeah, you came back a little early this time?”

“Oh, I heard from Princess Tina. She recommended Beck as an exchange student?”

The silver-haired Hwangmae came to me and neatly brushed back her bangs.

He looked really happy, like something good had happened today.

“That’s right. It looks like Tina and Beck will be staying together in the Empire from now on.”

“That’s great, Father. It will be a great example for exchanges between our two countries.”

Helena, who was helping Irina transfer the watermelon to a plate, spoke in a mature voice.

Lili and Mika were also by her side.

“But still, the top position at the Academy is mine-.”

“LiLi, move the watermelon properly and then talk.”

Lily, with her pigtails, shrugged her shoulders and the watermelon slipped.

A girl with short hair who looked exactly like Miya caught it as quickly as a cat.

“I got it-.”

Mika takes after her mother and is quite athletic.

However, her best feature is her uniquely friendly personality.

Thanks to that, he became the class president among the 9-year-olds in the school.

“Beck, sit there with your brothers. Little Mommy will bring you some fruit-.”

As Irina spoke with a smile, Beck approached the table with a slight nod.

In fact, he had an awkward relationship with his siblings.

He only visited the empire twice a year, and because of his timid personality, he was not very talkative.

Then he noticed three boys sitting at the table.

Leo, a blond boy reading a book of magic even at a garden picnic.

Silver-haired Ian waves with a faint smile at the approaching Beck.

Finally, there’s Leon, who’s sleeping, with his soft ball pressed against the table.

“Welcome, Beck. Was it hard to get here?”

“Oh, no… You came surprisingly quickly.”

From noble mtl dot come

The guy smiled awkwardly at the three brothers of the same age he was facing.

In fact, their careers were already splendid, unlike mine.

Ian is number one in the entire academy.

Leo is already serving as the youngest magician in the Magic Tower.

Leon is lazy and not particularly interested in becoming a knight, but like Lydia, he is good at management.

So she is already showing her talent as a leader in managing her farm.

Even between siblings, it’s not easy.

Helena occasionally takes charge of imperial affairs.

Lili is first in the sports department, and Mika is the class president.

Lastly, Margot’s daughter Marie is talented in witchcraft and can even move plates herself.

Except for the younger siblings, they were all great elites.

“As expected, they are all amazing… .”

In comparison, Beck has only just begun to master the art of sword expert.

As it turned out, his own achievements were the least impressive.

“Then, could it be that the praise the captains gave me earlier was all…?”

Beck began to wonder if their encouragement was a formality.

As the wave grew bigger and bigger, the depression that had been there before I met my father began to rise again.

But, at that moment.

“Beck, I heard you achieved Sword Expert?”

Ian asked, his black eyes gleaming through his silver hair.

“Congratulations, your father said you figured it out on your own. Is that really that great?”

“Uh huh…?”

Beck looked dumbfounded for a moment at the praise from the Empire’s strongest 10-year-old.

Then Ian asked Leo, who was concentrating on his book while wearing monocles.

“Isn’t that right, Leo?”

Ian winks and signals with one eye closed.

Leo nodded at this.

“Wow, that’s amazing. I don’t know if it’s magic, but they say that it’s hard to master the skills of a knight without earnest desire and effort.”

He took off his monocle and put down the book.

And then, looking at the black-haired Beck, he smiled leisurely, resembling Leah.

“You worked hard, didn’t you?”

Leon, who had been burying his face in the table and melting, also glanced up.

After that, he added with red eyes that resembled Lydia’s.

“Bacal is a society that relies on sheer force. I did my best to survive in it.”

He dragged his drooping hands up to the table.

He then gave Beck a thumbs up to encourage him.

“He’s just like my dad. He’s cool.”

Until now, I only thought of myself as the worst.

Beck was left speechless for a moment as everyone cheered him on.

He just silently looked down at the bright red watermelon placed in front of him.

“Hello, Beck?”

Helena set the plate down, her golden hair flowing gracefully.

“You’ve gotten more handsome since I last saw you.”

“Oh, you seem to have become more beautiful too, Helena… .”

Unlike Bakal, the siblings are friendly towards each other even though they are not of royal blood.

Beck then picked up the watermelon and smiled heartily.

This is ‘family’.

With a face that realized something.

‘Fortunately, the kids are nice to Beck.’

I looked at my kind sons and daughters with joy.

Then I made eye contact with Leah, Lydia, and Miya who had joined me in the garden.

“Was Bakal good, my husband-?”

Miya put her arm lightly on my shoulder.

I almost dropped the watermelon I was holding in the shock.

“Oh my-. Don’t be ridiculous. I missed you guys so much that it was hard for me…!!”

Thank goodness Christina is taking a quick nap in the annex!!

I tried to cover up the situation with a foxy, sly smile at them.

“really?”

Lydia snuggled up next to me, her pigtails fluttering.

The same goes for His Majesty the Emperor.

Two beautiful women placed their hands, one on each of my thighs.

“Hey, ladies… …!! I’m home today!!”

I tried to smile and looked back and forth between the two of them.

But, at that moment.

A gentle hand reached out from behind my back as if grabbing the back of my neck.

After that, the silver wolf Irina whispered in a strange voice.

“If you wanted to see me that much, why don’t you try that after a long time, Veil…?”

While the kids were concentrating on the watermelon.

Irina, who had come so close that I could feel her breathing, opened her red lips.

“I’m talking about what we did at the concert hall.”

A familiar elixir is placed on Irina’s sensual tongue.

I know what it is.

‘Dashvik, no way… … !!’

I later found out that in exchange for giving him the elixir, he received a lifetime pass to the hot springs of Northon.

“Then, I’ll look forward to it.”

Irina wrapped her soft tongue around the elixir and swallowed deeply.

Her hot breath gushed out from between her spit, tickling my cheek.

Miya was startled by Irina’s sensual appearance.

Feeling a sense of crisis, she wrapped her arms around my waist and shouted.

“Okay, everyone, eat some fruit!”

Miya hissed like a cat.

The dark circles under her eyes were furrowed.

“And, today it’s my turn to use the veil!!”

The children flinched at her honest cry.

In particular, Mika, Miya’s daughter, sighed deeply and shut her kitten-like eyes tightly.

“Haa… Mom… .”

She shook her head, tightly covering Margot’s daughter, Marie’s, ears with both hands.

“Hey guys, is there anywhere you want to go for fun? Since we’re all here, let’s have a fun day…!!”

I sent an urgent rescue request to the children.

Then, Irina covered my lips and Leah and Lydia sat down on my thighs.

“Woof, wow…!!”

“Kids, Dad is busy today, so let’s ask him to play with us tomorrow-.”

As Emperor Rhea shouted in an elegant voice, all the children nodded their heads in agreement.

“yes–!!”

Warm sunlight pours into the empire’s lofty palace.

Children growing up in that warmth.

And, still hot guys and their wives.

Everyone enjoyed a peaceful afternoon in blessings.

So we spent the day enjoying abundant happiness.
