“The princess is here…?”
“How did you get here from the noble blood of the Empire?”
” ..you don’t look like a joke..?”
“The pride of a noble bloodline, the eagle is very dignified..!”
When the golden hair that felt far away and the flying eagle symbolizing the imperial family appeared at the party, many nobles roared.
The fact that a member of the imperial family who sits in the center, at the apex of them, appears in the southern part of the empire, especially in Espera, the main street.
Besides, you are coming with the daughter of the Earl of Edinburgh, who is also famous for being a noble and knightly family.
If a reporter had sneaked into the party hall, it was clear that the whole of the empire would be blown away.
again and again.
The pinnacle of the empire, a member of the imperial family that reigns over the heads of all nobles and ranks third in the empire’s succession.
The princess walked into the center of the party hall.
And no one dared to come close to the princess and talk to her.
It would have been different if this place was the center, but now, this is the southern part of the empire.
In the situation of the southern nobles who had never met the princess in their lifetime, the princess was the object of fear.
If you make a mistake, your family will collapse and you will be criticized.
No one was willing to step forward and just looked at them.
And Goose, who had been ignored by Louis, only looked at the appearance of the Princess and Rose.
I was not willing to step forward.
No matter how much his family is said to be one of the founders of the empire, he dares not approach a noble bloodline.
He knows the subject, even if he doesn’t know the fraction, and no one is coming forward, so the option of going out on his own was close to the worst.
When no one is willing to step forward like that.
“It’s been a while, Princess. And Rosé-senpai too.”
“Welcome to Espera’s party.”
In addition to Louis’ greeting, which had lost all of her characteristic tone, Count Espera, who was by her side, also greeted the princess.
“Yes, it’s been a long time, Louis-san. It’s my first time meeting you then.”
“..It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you, so I’m deeply moved.”
“I’m happy to see this cute Miss Louis again.”
It’s like their own world.
They were able to continue the conversation flexibly because they were the ones I had met in the academy.
And above all, now, this place is not an academy.
A public seat watched by the nobles of the South.
It was not a conversation between the first year of the academy, the academy student council president, but the successor who would become the lord of the Espera estate in the future as the imperial princess.
When Louis and the princess were continuing their conversation.
Nobles began to gather around Rose, who came as the princess’s escort knight.
As the Count opened the door as the first runner, the nobles at the party gathered up their courage and approached Rose.
“Nice to meet you, the eldest son of the Southern Jains of the Empire…”
“Nice to meet you, Rosé Youngae. My name is…”
“Are you thinking of coming to a social church?”
Next to the bustling Rosé.
“Nice to meet you, Edinburgh Rosé.”
” ..Yes, nice to meet you.”
“I’m not interested in the social church. It’s time to focus on studying at the academy.”
Rose was feeling extremely tired internally while answering the questions of the nobles one by one.
For Rosé, who has not been able to build enough social relationships with people because she has been practicing swords since childhood, this place is now a place of hardship.
It’s a pity that I was educated to be able to stiffen my face and answer politely, but if it was the old Rosé, I would have run away to the corner without saying anything.
A man with a hair color similar to Rommel approached Rosé, who was skillfully greeting him.
A man exuding a subtle aura, a look similar to Rommel.
But something was different.
Unlike Rommel, who had a skinny physique, the man was quite muscular and, above all, his intense eyes were very different from Rommel’s.
“Nice to meet you, young Rose. I am the eldest son of the Griff family, Griff Goose.”
“Grif…?”
Rosé pondered, and came up with the fact that House Griff was Rommel’s.
He always called him by the name of Rommel, but did not mention the family name separately.
In the first place, Rommel didn’t even talk about his family affairs.
For whatever reason, I didn’t ask about it.
“Oh, yes. It’s called Edinburgh’s Rose.”
As Goose reached out and greeted her, Rosé also tilted her head and took Goose’s hand.
Pretty muscular hands, and a soft smile.
Rosé noticed that this person also wanted something from him, so he approached him.
Countless people have approached this way to get something.
“You must have been that high-ranking young lady of the Edinburgh family. I’ve only heard of it, but seeing it face to face like this, I am deeply moved.”
“I came here as a knight, as a knight, as an escort knight for the princess. There is no other particular reason.”
Half right and half wrong.
On the surface, he came as an escort knight for the princess, but in reality he had come to meet Rommel.
“If you have time, would you mind giving me a chance to talk about Young-ae in person?”
“..as the princess’s escort knight, I can’t devote my time to you alone. I’m sorry.”
” ..haha, you’re so stubborn.”
Although he tried to approach Rose, Gus felt intense anger at his request being rejected from the beginning.
Come to think of it, today was the worst day for Goose.
No one in the territory disobeyed his words, dared not even think of going against him, nor should he go against him.
But by the way.
Today, after meeting Rommel’s family’s trash, the day began to go awry.
Louis, who had been targeted, was near Rommel, and Rose Youngae, who had the courage to speak up, was pushing herself away from the beginning.
As the eldest son of the Griff family, Gus did not preserve his dignity at all.
“Did you make an appointment with someone else?”
” ..No promises, I would have said. I’m here to escort the Princess.”
” ..her. “
I don’t know if it’s for any other reason, but if it’s because of the escort of the princess, there’s nothing to say in Goose’s situation.
It’s not anyone else, she’s a princess.
The fact that the knight who dares to escort the princess is summoned separately for private business can be charged with blasphemy.
So Gus took a step back.
It’s more profitable to make friends with the Edinburgh Youngae, a central nobleman, than Espera, who lives in the countryside.
Even if it took time, I decided to slowly turn to the direction of making friends with Rosé.
“Rosé, what are you doing there now?”
“Oh, I’ll go right there.”
Rosé rushes to the princess’s call.
Gus looked at him slowly and smiled inexplicably.
“If you’re good at this…”
A kid who doesn’t know anything about society because he hasn’t gone out yet.
It’s also a freshman who has only practiced swords for the rest of his life.
I thought that if I did well, I could bring Rosé here.
The Edinburgh family, who could move at will, was a more attractive prey than the stupid central imperial aristocrats who never gave up important posts no matter how much bribe they paid.
Already, the head of the Edinburgh family has health problems.
Although the Earl of Edinburgh has weakened in power compared to the past, even though it is a faded sword, it does not mean that it cannot cut people.
A prestigious family is a prestigious family, and the name of the family does not disappear forever and remains in the public perception.
Goose changed his goals, devoured the Earl of Edinburgh, and began to imagine happy thoughts of himself ascending to the Earl of Edinburgh.
*************
“But what happened to the princess here..?”
“Of course I came to find him, a terrible man who left only one letter and left for the South.”
flinch.
Louis and Rosé flinched when the keyword ‘that man’ appeared.
In the situation of Louis, who was having a happy time with Rommel, it sounded like a thunderbolt, and Rosé, who dared to follow the southern part of the empire while hiding her heart, citing the reason that she was the escort of the princess, also began to prick her conscience.
“Who is that man talking to?”
The Count, who was listening to the story next to Louis, asked who the man was, and the princess smiled and began to open her mouth.
” that man.. “
“Are you sane, you’re following me all the way here?”
At that time, the man with the tail begins to walk in front of the princess.
Rommel asked why he came here with a frown on his face, even though there was no death in front of the princess and Rose.
“Are you crazy?! In front of the Princess!”
Although the Count was surprised to discourage Rommel.
“I’m crazy, Rommel. How much has happened while you’re away.”
“Because I believed you, you came down to the South. Is everything in the academy sorted out?”
“Of course.”
The princess looks at Rommel, who puts her palm on her cheek and makes a sad expression.
“.. are you? Princess…?”
The Count who alternates between the Princess and Rommel and sheds a cold sweat.
wow.
and..
” ..So far.. “
Louie clenched his teeth and made a resentful expression as if something had piled up.
The princess and Rommel met face-to-face in this place where the eyes of the nobles all gathered.
