Became the Escort Knight That the Princesses Were Obsessed With - Chapter 317
317. The Fox and the Cat
There are currently seven women of the highest rank in the empire.
Of these, the Emperor is the most famous, but there are six others who are equally famous.
However, if you have multiple wives, there are bound to be people who secretly rank them.
Among them, it was the most favorite game of the upper class young ladies.
“Oh my, Miya Kyung. Aren’t you eating too much meat?”
“The seafood here is also really delicious-.”
My wife, Miya, has short black hair and wears a dress.
She attended the banquet dressed up differently than usual.
Her uniquely healthy and beautiful body was wrapped in white velvet.
“Oh, I was eating… Thank you for your concern.”
“I see. I thought the life of a knight was hard, and that you only looked for meat.”
Four women sitting on either side of her.
Among them, the two closest to Miya were particularly fond of ranking people.
Lauren, wife of the Northern Duke.
From noble mtl dot com
Titania, wife of the Western Duke.
“The life of a knight is more enjoyable than you think. It’s nothing to worry about.”
Miya answered the two middle-aged women blandly.
And then, I sighed deeply and suffered through the party I had no choice but to attend.
There was another reason why she had to force herself to attend the party.
“King Miya. It’s good to be faithful to your knightly life, but it’s also good to show your face in society sometimes.”
Advice from Leia who became emperor.
Although she seemed to care little for others on the outside, she cared quite a bit for Miya.
“You are no longer just a simple knight.”
I agree with Emperor Miyado’s words.
No matter how famous you become as a knight, if you want to live in high society later on, you will have to be friendly with them.
That is why I had no choice but to participate in this uncomfortable situation.
“But every time I walk around the palace, I feel like I’ve never seen Lady Miya walking around with Her Highness the Veil.”
“That’s right. It seems like you always hang out with other wives.”
As expected, the social circle’s pretending to care and turning it around was quite cruel.
Although he is kind to Miya on the outside, he asks her on the inside, ‘Aren’t you the lowest in the hierarchy among your wives?’
Even if it wasn’t true, it was still quite unpleasant.
“Well, I work during the day. We’re always together at night.”
Miya tried to speak to them with a calm face.
However, the dark circles under her eyes were trembling slightly.
“Really? Then that’s good.”
“Recently, His Majesty the Veil has been having a lot of fights with Lady Lydia in the garden-.”
The other young ladies also chimed in on what the middle-aged women were saying.
“That’s right. Laying it on my thigh-. It was a really nice sight.”
“Your Highness Lydia is quite the person. I thought you would be clumsy since you always have such an authoritative expression on your face-.”
Miya closed her eyes tightly as the two people talked.
At first, she didn’t care, but she started to feel a little anxious.
‘Come to think of it, today is the day I meet you… .’
In fact, she had intended to go on a date with Veil, but he had to leave due to unavoidable circumstances, so she ended up attending the party.
The dress you’re wearing now could also be considered a date outfit.
“Oh my, we must have been talking about something else in front of Lord Miya.”
“I’m sorry-, I have such bad cubic equations-.”
Miya tried to force a beautiful smile.
And then, I took a sip of champagne and consoled my gloomy mood.
“It’s okay. It’s not a bad thing to be close with other wives.”
“As expected of a vice-captain, you have a broad mind.”
As time passed, the sunset began to appear on the horizon.
Miya, who drinks with unwanted middle-aged women all day long.
She closed her ears, her nose slightly red.
Then, like a knight, he remained silent and controlled himself.
but.
“By the way, Lady Titania, your bag is new today?”
“My husband bought it for me for my birthday.”
The Western Duke’s wife answered in a chic voice.
“Oh my, this is a product from the Kingdom of Bakal. You put a lot of thought into it.”
“Do you think he chose it himself? He probably had his servants buy whatever was trendy at the time.”
The Northern Duke’s wife, Lauren, waved her hand and asked what he meant.
“Hey. My husband doesn’t even celebrate my birthday.”
“Well, of course, we’ve been married for over 20 years.”
Titania glanced at Miya and said.
With a very clever and persistent look in his eyes.
“You only take care of it when you’re newlyweds, like Miya Kyung-”
“Well, my husband bought a lot of things for me in the early days of our marriage.”
The two middle-aged women were asking Miya.
If she was a truly beloved wife, wouldn’t she have received a special gift?
“Oh, we haven’t exchanged gifts yet.”
The two people showed an indifferent attitude to Miya’s bored reaction.
“Well, His Majesty doesn’t seem to be a meticulous person.”
“That’s right, you must be busy meeting different wives every day.”
Miya placed both hands neatly on her thighs.
Otherwise, I felt like my clenched fists would be caught shaking.
“I’ll wake up first… … .”
However, I couldn’t refute them.
In fact, after marriage, she never exchanged gifts with her husband.
I didn’t really want a gift from him.
However, I was really worried that I might be second in line among my wives.
“Oh, you need to go to the bathroom?”
“You may not be familiar with the palace, so should I provide a servant for you?”
Miya no longer listened to their words.
I just wanted to get out of here, one step at a time, as quickly as possible.
otherwise…….
Because I felt like I would get angry at them for a moment.
However, I absolutely did not want to do that because it would be a burden to Veil.
――――――.
High heels have always been awkward, then and now.
The moment I was about to leave the banquet hall, staggering with such clumsy steps.
“… … !”
Miya had no choice but to stop walking.
Because a man had arrived in the hallway I was about to leave.
“Senior Miya.”
The hallway was shadowed by the sunset sky.
In the dark shadows, I approached her.
“Veil, didn’t you say you were busy today?”
Miya looked at me and her eyes widened like a cat’s.
With eyes mixed with joy and bewilderment.
“I’m sorry, I heard there were illegal sorcerers in the capital, so I came here to help out for a while.”
My senior blankly looked at me with black blood on my forehead.
Along with the black eyes sparkling in the messy hair.
“Oh my god… … . What’s wrong with your face? Are you hurt?”
Miya approached me with clumsy steps.
Then I quickly waved my hand and said it was okay.
“It’s okay. This isn’t my blood, it’s the sorcerers’.”
I took a step back, afraid that I might get dirty blood on her.
With one hand hiding something.
“By the way, are you okay, senior?”
At my question, Miya stopped walking for a moment.
And then, he looked at me intently and asked back.
“Why me… … ?”
In response to her question, I pointed to my senior’s face.
To be exact, the hot tears that had gathered in the corners of my eyes.
“Your eyes are gleaming.”
Miya slowly placed her hand on her cheek, following my fingers.
And then, I soothed the hot tears that were welling up.
“Ah… … . This is… … .”
I passed by Miya, who was speechless for a moment.
And then I looked at the middle-aged women sitting at the table and chatting away.
“Ve, Veil Your Majesty… … ?”
“Oh my, what brings you here?!”
The Archduke’s wives were startled when they saw me with blood on my forehead and got up.
However, the reason they were scared wasn’t just because of the blood.
“Excuse me, may I ask what happened here today?”
Because my whole body was pierced by the eerie gaze that met my eyes.
“My wife doesn’t look too happy.”
The women had no answer to my questions.
They just looked at each other and didn’t know what to do.
“We didn’t really do anything… … .”
“Right, right. Right, everyone?”
The women who had cooperated with them until now kept their mouths shut.
With an expression on their face as if they knew nothing.
“Everyone, please speak to His Majesty. Be clear… … !!”
“Obviously something.”
I quietly put the hidden object down under the chair for a moment.
And then, he looked at the two middle-aged women who dared to make his senior cry with a fierce look and asked.
“It seems like the Dukes of the fortress are taking me for granted these days?”
At my meaningful words, they quickly rose from their chairs.
“What do you mean?”
“How much we respect Your Majesty… … !!”
The women were instinctively terrified, as if they had touched something they shouldn’t have.
Because the souls of thousands of dead people were reflected in my eyes, which had been sleeping absentmindedly until now.
“Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to gossip about my wife in front of her, right?”
Just as dogs fear dog traders, so too could poor women.
“Should we take this opportunity to gather all the arch-rivals and do some defensive training?”
Guardian of the Empire and the authority of the Grandmaster.
If you deem it necessary, you can call upon any lord from anywhere in the empire to train him.
All of them, including the middle-aged grand dukes, were forced to do so.
“I’m sorry, Your Majesty… … !!”
“From now on, I will never do anything to displease His Majesty!!”
Now, there are women who call Miya ‘Your Majesty’.
However, I wasn’t satisfied with even that.
Because tears were welling up in Miya’s eyes, which had been so strong.
“Why are you apologizing to me? You should apologize to my wife directly.”
I turned my head briefly and made way for Miya.
Then, the women who had been holding their heads upright in front of him until now began to move busily.
He was staggering, his legs giving out.
“I’m sorry, Your Majesty. We have a mouth… …!!”
“I won’t make you uncomfortable again!!”
The relationship between A and B changed in an instant.
However, Miya did not respond at all to their apology.
rather…….
Because her gaze was fixed on me.
The way he’s been sleeping late all this time, studying how to take a nap.
The look had completely disappeared, and the eyes had become sharp like before.
Miya was looking at those eyes that made others look scared with a heart full of excitement.
“Veil, I’m okay… …. I was just happy.”
Miya looked at me and smiled brightly.
The tears that had been gathering in the corners of her eyes finally burst open and began to flow down the corners of her cheeks.
“I missed you so much today… … .”
The Imperial Vice-Minister of the Empire sheds tears.
Like a poor woman.
So I quickly picked up the object I had placed under the chair.
The bouquet of flowers I prepared to give to her today.
“I’m sorry I’m so late.”
I approached her hurriedly.
With the youthful expression of a knight of the defense, not a royal envoy.
“I was late because I bought this on the way back.”
He carefully placed the bouquet of flowers on her empty arms.
She looked up at me blankly, her hands full.
“What, what is this… … ?”
I gave her several gifts right after we got married, but this was the first time recently.
“It’s not even my birthday today… … .”
Miya looked up at me with a cute face like a cat wearing boots.
Then I gently wiped away the tears that had gathered in her eyes and said.
“Today is that day.”
Even if she seemed to forget for a moment, I could never forget.
Today was the day I first met Miya-senpai.
“The day I first met my senior at the office after I was appointed.”
Only then did my wife remember everything, and her red lips parted.
With sharp fangs showing like a cat.
“sighe…….”
“Do you know what you said to me the first day we met?”
Miya shook her head, saying she didn’t know.
Then I looked back at the middle-aged women with a smirk.
After that, he shouted at them in a loud voice.
“Ha, fuck!!”
All the middle-aged nobles flinched in surprise at my shout.
After that, they just lowered their heads and hid their faces.
On the other hand, the senior’s reaction was mixed.
Her face flushed as if all the sadness she had felt just a moment ago had disappeared.
“What the… …!! When did I do that!!”
Miya became a confused cat like she was when she was a defense engineer.
She rocked her body back and forth so much that even the moles under her eyes shook.
Thanks to that, a gentle fragrance rose from the rose he was holding.
“Now you’re starting to act a little more like a senior.”
I chuckled and shook my head like a fox.
Afterwards, they walked together through the palace corridors and left the banquet hall.
With his back turned to the dumb upper-class women.
“… … .”
Miya stared down at the bouquet of flowers I had given her as we walked down the hallway together.
Like a cat that is curious about a rose when it first sees it.
“Do you like it that much?”
“What, what… … . It’s just that it’s my first time receiving a bouquet of flowers, so it’s just new.”
I chuckled and poked Miya’s cheek with my index finger.
Then, the soft flesh was pressed warmly like bread.
“Still, it was a little cool after a long time.”
Miya snickered like she did back when she was gossiping about Looper.
And then, he gently laid his face on my wet shoulder.
“I’m dirty. I’m sweating so much.”
“okay……?”
Miya closed her eyes tightly.
And then, he rolled his face over and buried his nose in my chest.
Like a female cat addicted to smell.
“I’m rather happy. It’s been a while since you’ve looked so cool.”
Miya quietly reached out with both hands and hugged me.
And then he looked up at me with his characteristically lecherous eyes.
“I just came from fighting, but I think it would be better to wash up… .”
Miya covered my lips with her index finger.
And then, she said, pressing her voluptuous curves against my chest.
“Now we’re both wet.”
Miya smiled faintly.
And then, as they entered the dark shadows together, they said:
“Then, it doesn’t matter, right?”
The bouquet of flowers she was holding landed softly on the floor.
After that, Miya whispered with her beautiful eyes half-closed.
“You left me lonely, so stay with me till the end tonight.”
