Became the Escort Knight That the Princesses Were Obsessed With - Chapter 322



322. The Fox and the Lioness

Early morning, Lin’s house.

I secretly got up from bed without even noticing Lin who was sleeping.

Then, I picked up the clothes scattered on the floor and put them on in a hurry.

‘This is driving me crazy, seriously… … !!’

I can’t quite remember what happened last night.

I clearly remember hugging her, and the strong scent of soap enveloping my body… … .

As I recalled my memories, an ecstatic experience flashed through my mind.

Then, I decided to get out of there as quickly as possible.

But when I came out into the living room.

“who are you……?”

There was already a boy who had gotten up and come out first.

Rin’s younger brother, Rito, is completely healed and his eyes are wide open.

The guy stared at me as I came out of my sister’s room.

“Uh, so… … . I’m the manager’s coworker!!”

“Ah, I see-.”

The younger brother nodded calmly, not seeming to have any great doubts.

Normally, one would be suspicious of a stranger coming out of one’s older sister’s room.

However, since he had spent most of his life lying down, Rito was not one to make inferences easily.

furthermore…….

―――――.

I could hear a faint rumbling sound from his stomach, as if he was hungry.

“Is your sister sleeping?”

“Yeah. I think it’ll take a while to wake up.”

Rito nodded indifferently at Rin’s words that she was sleeping.

Then, I went to the sofa and sat down to enjoy the morning sunlight.

“Then, I guess I’ll have to wait until you wake up.”

A mature guy who resembles his older sister.

I didn’t force her to wake up and cry that she was hungry.

‘You must have been very tired from the treatment last night, so you must be very hungry.’

The sight of someone waiting quietly, enduring hunger.

The sight was very peculiar.

“If it’s okay, would you like me to make breakfast for you?”

“Really… …?”

Rito asked back with an apologetic expression.

Then I said, gently stroking the mature guy’s forehead.

“It’s okay, I can cook a little bit.”

I shook off my stuffy T-shirt.

Then, I went into the kitchen for a moment to check if there were any ingredients.

‘There are tomatoes, and I just bought some eggs.’

There were plenty of fresh ingredients.

However, the utensils were very clean, as if she had not cooked often.

“Let’s start with a light scrambled egg.”

I placed the eggs and bacon in a brass pan.

And then, after grilling with skillful hands… … .

I put in chopped tomatoes and cooked them in a wok.

“wow…….”

As if it had been a long time since he smelled that delicious scent, Rito came over to me.

The boy looked at the scrambled eggs and freshly baked bacon dancing on the pan in wonder.

“Isn’t your sister good at cooking?”

“No. You do this often… … . This is the first time I’ve seen something like this!!”

‘It’s strange, it’s the most basic dish.’

I chuckled and transferred the freshly made dish to a plate.

And, I took an orange out of the kitchen veranda and squeezed it with one hand to make instant juice.

“Okay, let’s eat.”

From noble mtl dot com

A delicious meal was placed on the cold table.

Then, Rito’s black eyes sparkled like black pearls.

“Sister, you should eat this too… … .”

The kind younger brother looked at Jigshi Lin’s room.

That moment.

The door opened slowly and a sullen woman appeared.

Wearing a disheveled t-shirt.

“It smells delicious… … .”

“Sister, let’s eat together!! Here, my colleague, Hyung, made it for me!!”

Fellow brother.

Lin tilted her head at the unfamiliar words and went out to the kitchen.

“veil……?”

“Oh, you’re awake…?”

I took out a plate for her with an awkward smile.

And, they slowly prepared food and freshly baked bread.

“I was just going to leave, but my little brother looked really hungry… … . When you get better from being sick, you’ll be hungrier, right?”

“… … .”

Lin sat at the table and stared blankly at her smiling brother and me serving him food.

It’s like seeing a harmonious family.

“You eat too. I made a little too much just in case.”

“Uh, yeah… … .”

Empty eyes in black hair.

A warm scrambled egg is placed on the previously lifeless cross-section.

“It’s fried eggs.”

“Yeah, I couldn’t do anything more impressive because I was in a hurry.”

I sat down next to her, pushing back my messy bangs.

With a piece of bread in his mouth.

“No, it looks really delicious.”

“Okay, let’s eat quickly!!”

Her brother kept waiting for her to pick up the fork.

So Lindo quickly picked up his spoon and took a big bite of the egg.

And then, at that moment.

“… … !!”

This was the first time she had revealed her feelings in front of a boy her age.

The genuine smile of a twenty-year-old woman.

“delicious.”

His younger brother Rito also smiled as he saw his older sister like that for the first time.

And then, the moment he takes a big bite and tries it.

“Wow… … !!”

The corners of his mouth went up as if he had eaten a delicacy from the mountains and the sea.

“How is it? Is it delicious?”

“Yes!! Much better than what my older sister did!!”

Lin coughed at her brother’s honest answer.

Her once pure white skin seemed to have strangely turned red.

“I wish someone like my brother would cook for me at home for the rest of my life!!”

“Lito…!!”

She cried out, startled by her brother’s mischievous words.

“huh?”

She sighed deeply at the sight of her calm younger brother.

And then, he handed me the juice while glancing at me from time to time.

“Oh, no… … . Here, eat while drinking the juice.”

Could it be because of her human side that I only saw on the battlefield?

The corners of my mouth twitched without me knowing.

“Lin, you eat a lot too.”

“Thank you, Veil.”

She picked up an egg with a fork and put it in her mouth.

After that, he stared at the table for a while with a helpless look in his eyes, holding a fork in his mouth.

“Why, you keep looking at the table?”

“No, it’s just… … . It’s the first time we’ve sat at a table like this.”

In the warmth of a warm breakfast, she smiled sweetly.

That’s when I felt it for the first time.

She, who had spent her entire life growing up on the battlefield, was still a woman in her early twenties.

Unlike the gloomy, protective look he had in the middle of the night, he was very warm.

「――――――.」

I finished such a hearty breakfast.

After saying goodbye to Rito, we went out the main gate.

“I’m going to go now. Some people get anxious when I leave them for a long time.”

“Yes, Their Highnesses will be worried….”

A man and a woman wearing baggy T-shirts.

She turned her head askew, one eye hidden by her messy black hair.

“Thank you so much for yesterday and today, Veil.”

“No problem.”

I answered with a relaxed look.

And then, while trying to hurry back to the palace.

Suddenly, I turned my head and approached her again.

“for a moment.”

He gently placed his fingers on her bangs, which usually looked stuffy.

Then comes the moment of gentle wetting.

The knight’s black eyes, bathed in brilliant sunlight, appeared.

“After seeing it yesterday, I don’t think there’s any need to hide it.”

The blind left eye also appeared.

The black and white mixed together and turned gray.

However, to my eyes, it didn’t seem strange at all.

Rather, since both eyes were visible, the face looked much brighter and more beautiful.

“Look at this. How nice it looks.”

“… … .”

Lin blankly looked up at my face as it got closer.

“Draw it,” he muttered, his lips tightly shut.

“Really, you… … .”

Lin, whose bangs were lifted, turned her gaze towards me.

Without letting go of my hand.

“Go ahead, Veil.”

“okay.”

I chuckled and let go of her hair.

And then, waving his hand, he left.

“… … .”

The knight silently watched me walk away.

Then, he gently pinched his bangs.

It’s like a part of my body that I’ve never cared about in my life is particularly bothering me today.

――――――.

“Whew… … .”

I walked leisurely down the street alone.

As if I was just coming back from a walk without anything happening.

but.

My steps soon stopped abruptly.

Because I could feel a very subtle and powerful mana from afar.

‘You’re hiding it on purpose.’

To think that such a powerful force is hidden within you.

It was at least the level of a great wizard like Leah.

However, my expectations were spectacularly wrong.

The one who was watching me from afar was… … .

“oh.”

Because it wasn’t Leah, it was her mother.

“Your Highness Rosanna… … ?”

“Veil Mikhail. You can see everything from here.”

A gray one-piece dress that hugs her beautiful body like an enchanting hourglass.

Brilliant golden hair flowing down her delicate shoulders.

It was hard to believe that she had such vitality for a woman who had just entered her 40s.

“Why are you coming out of Captain Lin’s house-?”

‘I see you were watching everything.’

“My younger brother is sick, so I came to look after him for a while.”

“Hmm, really-?”

“Yes, Your Majesty, what brings you here so early in the morning?”

I asked back with an effort to remain calm.

Then, the voluptuous empress shrugged her shoulders slightly.

“A light walk, I guess. To check out the strong mana I felt last night.”

“It was me, so you can rest assured.”

I cut the conversation short and concise.

but.

“Really? But if you treated me at night, I should have just gone home. Why did I only come out in the morning?”

Instead, Rosanna approached me confidently.

With sharp eyes like a lioness.

“I just came back from having a serious conversation with Lin.”

“This is a serious conversation….”

The young mother-in-law placed her finger on her chin.

And then, he tapped lightly like a piano key and left an eerie word.

“I guess that conversation includes body language as well?”

“yes……?”

Rosanna poked my baggy T-shirt with her fingers.

“Why does your clothes smell so strongly of soap?”

“… … !”

I coughed.

‘Since it’s come to this, I might as well be honest.’

“Actually, I had a bit of an accident one night while I was giving advice.”

“An accident? It wasn’t intentional?”

The woman in front of me is also my wife’s mother.

So, of course, this situation is unpleasant.

“Yes, if you don’t believe me, I’ll show you my memories.”

I obediently reached out to her.

Then, Rosanna folded her hands with a half-doubtful expression.

“… … .”

I just told her my memories from before I fell asleep.

Afterwards, he blocked her mana source with Grand Aura.

“Did you see… … ?”

“huh.”

Fortunately, she seemed more focused on her own troubles than on the incident that had occurred between me and the Black Knight Commander.

Lin’s pain was greater than he thought, so he didn’t say anything for a while.

“I didn’t know Lin would have such a hard time.”

“That’s right. I was also embarrassed.”

Rosanna gently pushed her voluminous golden hair over her ear.

“Still, fortunately, it seems like you healed well.”

“That’s true, but… … As you can see, things have gotten a little bigger.”

Rosanna nodded, saying she understood.

“What should I tell my wives about this… … .”

“Well, so what? There are already six, so what difference would it make if we added one more?”

‘… … ?’

My mother-in-law is much cooler than I thought.

I couldn’t help but laugh at her and Leah’s uniquely relaxed expressions.

“Are you okay…? Isn’t this an affair?”

“It’s okay. After all, my first wife is our daughter.”

Rosanna extended her sensual fingers.

He said, lightly rubbing the bread crumbs on my lips.

“And, Lin is also a child I cherish.”

She was free from the anger caused by misunderstanding.

Thanks to that, I have a very rational eye.

“The Lin in your memories looked so pretty. Now, she finally looks like a girl who just turned twenty.”

“Still, you speak so easily… … .”

Rosanna took her baggage leisurely.

And then, looking at the streets of the beautiful city, he said:

“Actually, I tried to arrange a match for her several times. However, there was no one who could heal her.”

As she took a deep breath, her voluptuous body stood out.

Come to think of it, there were some strange crumbs left on Rosanna’s mature curves.

“On the other hand, you filled that child’s deficiency perfectly.”

Rosanna looked up at me intently.

“Love is about filling in each other’s shortcomings. So isn’t that a healthy relationship?”

I shook my head at the logic of the miracle she spoke of.

And then, looking down into Leah’s blue eyes, he said:

“Your mother-in-law is a very dangerous person in many ways.”

“It’s dangerous. It’s just a self-rationalization technique that adults use.”

Rosanna shook out her dress.

“Just think about this to yourself, and when you return to the palace, beg my daughter for mercy.”

“I was planning to do that anyway.”

The Empress smiled with her red, luscious lips.

“If you confess honestly first, maybe you’ll understand?”

“Okay, then I’ll go back right away.”

I greeted her politely.

And, while moving forward.

“Ah, Your Majesty.”

He said, glancing back at Rosanna.

“But Your Majesty, you have an unexpected side to you.”

“… … ?”

Rosanna tilted her head, pointing at herself.

Like a giant she-cat with two round eyes.

“Actually, you’re not taking a walk, you’re coming to a famous bakery, right?”

bakery.

Her lips parted as words unbecoming of a proud empress came to her lips.

“After waiting for a long time, you finally received the croissant and took a bite of it.”

I smiled at her, who had been teasing me about my weaknesses all day.

Like a fox teasing a predator.

“It was very good.”

“this……!!”

The area under Rosanna’s eyes trembled.

The beautiful empress tried to approach me as if to question me.

However, I ended up quickly returning to the palace first.
