Became the Escort Knight That the Princesses Were Obsessed With chapter 101

101. Emperor’s Lunchbox (4)

“This is the details of the patrol for the past week.”

“Good job, Bale. “Noston is peaceful again today.”

After receiving the report, Balderian raised the corners of his mouth happily.

This is the Capital Defense Headquarters.

Technicians with offices in other regions, like me, have to report like this once a week.

If you successfully complete this procedure, you can return to Northon and enjoy your leisure time again.

Oh, of course, that doesn’t mean I’m just lazy.

What position do you sleep best on Leah’s sofa?

Where to sell the watermelons that will soon be harvested, etc.

A lot of serious consideration must be given.

So, I want to quickly get out of this stuffy headquarters and return to Northon.

“By the way. I saw it in the newspaper earlier….”

I was lost in thought alone.

The general picked up his newspaper on his desk.

“Did you at least give money to your reporter? “You drew this so handsomely.”

Balderian smiled and showed me my interview article.

“hahahaha, it can’t be. “We responded calmly to avoid causing as much pressure to headquarters as possible.”

I responded to his joke with a standard answer.

However, the sly middle-aged man’s puns continued.

“For all that, the content was really cute. “My wife prepares lunch for me.”

Balderian laughed cheerfully as if everyone could hear.

Then, other executives laugh along.

“The fantasy about marriage is amazing! “You can do that if you’re young.”

“Ahahahaha….”

I couldn’t help but laugh along.

“So, is today’s lunch also a lunch box that your wife packed herself?”

Balderian said, raising his huge body from the chair.

“No, I am single. “I have to go out and eat.”

I somehow raised the corners of my mouth and answered.

“Yes, yes. “I may be single now, but I hope to find such a true wife someday!”

Balderian motioned for me to come quickly.

And then, he smiled as he unpacked the lunch box his second wife had packed for him.

But.

“Huh… !”

The moment he saw the contents, the general’s smile disappeared.

All the contents of the lunch box are good for men to eat when they are working out….

Because it was a rice bowl with long tail fish.

The general’s eyes, who had been teasing me all this time, trembled.

He, who fought against numerous enemies, was also afraid of his duty of defense.

“hahahaha… !”

He wrapped his head in fear of the siege that was soon to come.

I left the executive office while looking at that.

Then, I was passing by the general engineer’s office.

The familiar black head in the corner caught my eye.

Short hair shaking as if he was dozing off.

At this, I raised the corners of my mouth and approached him.

“Senior.”

I grabbed Miya’s shoulder.

Then, at that moment.

“Wow… ! “I didn’t doze off, Vice Captain Camilla!!”

Miya turned her head as she started the game.

“Ah, it’s a veil…. You were surprised….”

Her face I met was a sight to behold.

Whenever you are happy that you won first place in the evaluation for the first half of the year, you always look depressed.

Dark circles are no joke.

“If it’s okay, would you like to go get some food together?”

“Okay… It’s already time to eat….”

Miya sobbed and got up from her seat.

Like a sleepy cat.

“You look very tired.”

“The vice-captain has added a lot of work….”

It’s unfortunate to see her exhausted, but it’s definitely a good sign that she has more work to do.

Since the difficult vice-captain trusted her and entrusted her with the task, she was close to being promoted.

“It means you trust your senior that much.”

“I hope so.”

We left the office together.

And then, when I arrived at the headquarters cafeteria.

I encountered two bell knights walking around as if they were looking for someone.

Men carrying lunch boxes wrapped in luxurious silk.

Just looking at it, it looks like a luxurious lunch for executives.

Thinking like that, I joined the food service line.

But, at that moment.

“Senior Veil Mikhail, are you there?”

I stopped dead in my tracks when I heard a voice calling my name.

The same goes for the seniors who were eating first.

My eyes widened when I heard that I was the owner of that luxurious lunch box.

“It’s me… “What’s going on?”

“Take it here. “The Knight of the East and the Knight of Verdant gave it to me.”

I unexpectedly received two luxury lunch boxes.

“What is that…?” ?”

“Did they all come to Veil?”

I sat down at the table with a nervous expression.

And then, let’s unfold the silk carefully….

I came across two boxes with very familiar looking leopard and wolf patterns.

“No way.”

A situation filled with anxiety.

I swallowed deeply and opened the leopard lid first.

“Wow… “What is all this?”

Miya, who was watching from the side, covered her mouth and ate the amazingly gorgeous shrimp fried rice.

The second compartment contains glossy grilled sausage and sliced watermelon.

“It sounds really delicious!”

The seniors also stood up at the sound of her voice.

And then, he came closer and looked down at the fried rice.

“Wow, it’s a real lunch box?”

“Did the ladies who read the newspaper send it to Vale?”

Whenever they make fun of me, their eyes turn into envious looks.

“Can I have a bite of the veil?”

Haggard Miya.

She was exhausted and asked me with earnest eyes.

“Yes, try it.”

The senior scooped up the fried rice with the included spoon.

Then, she popped it into her mouth and savored the taste.

“Mmm- it’s really delicious! “Who on earth made this deal?”

Miya tasted her and returned her gaze.

The cat with an ecstatic expression looked the happiest in the world.

“Really? “I want to try it too!”

“Me too!”

The seniors saw Miya’s appearance and began to take interest in her lunch box.

However, that interest soon faded away with just one word from me.

“I think it was probably sent by Princess Lydia.”

“….”

It is said that the food in front of you is the work of the 3rd princess.

After hearing those words, the seniors all began to step back.

The same goes for Miya.

He looked like he was a traitor for eating the food the princess made for me.

“Huh… ! “Why are you saying that now?”

I left the panicked senior behind and opened the wolf lunch box next to me.

Then, a delicious scent as strong as fried rice began to flow out.

“Is it beef stew?”

The moment I saw it, I could immediately tell who made it.

2Nd princess, I guess it will come.

Even in her past life, she used to make her own stew, saying that she would save money by cooking it herself.

Of course, my skills were poor back then….

I raised the corners of my mouth, recalling past memories.

And then, he looked back at his seniors and said.

“Would you like to eat together?”

When I asked, the seniors shuddered as if they had seen a ghost.

“No!! “How are we supposed to eat that!”

They waved their hands saying it was done.

And then he muttered as he left the restaurant.

“By the way, why did Her Majesty the Princess send him a lunch box?”

“Veil, who was nearby, also made a contribution when capturing Prince Hakim. “It must be compensation for that.”

It was surprising to receive a lunch box from the princess.

They all came up with plausible inferences to deduce the meaning of the gift.

“The only reward is a lunch box?”

“Because Veil is a commoner. It’s hard for him to resign. “It’s probably going to be something like that.”

A senior pitied me with her pitiful eyes.

“Huh… “Isn’t that too cheap for compensation?”

“Shh, I will listen. Just do it. “Where did you even get a packed lunch?”

Miya, who was listening together, looked disapproving at the seniors’ backbiting.

“Wow, how difficult cooking is. “If the princess made it herself, this would be a truly great gift.”

“I’m fine, senior. “When will I ever receive something like this in my life?”

I said it was okay and opened the lunch box lid completely.

Miya, who had received the fishy bean soup, stared blankly together.

“Wow….”

No matter how much it is the princess’s cooking, it actually looks delicious.

Saliva is about to drip from her mouth.

“Try it quickly, Bale. “I heard it was really delicious.”

Thanks to my senior’s words, I first took a sip of Lydia’s shrimp fried rice.

Then, I slowly put it in my mouth and savored it.

“Um….”

Plump and sweet shrimp meat.

Soggy grains of rice.

All of this comes together as one in your mouth.

“Oh, the corners of the veil’s mouth went up.”

“Yes, it’s really delicious.”

I answered with a grin.

Because that smile was the truth.

Lydia’s outwardly grumpy and pushy personality comes to mind.

Her generous and soft side is evident in her subordinates.

‘Now, let’s try Irina’s lunch box this time.’

Fragrant beef stew.

If you dip freshly baked bread in here and eat it….

The hearty and warm stew wraps around your mouth.

The fluffy bread fills in the missing texture.

A familiar and nostalgic taste.

In the past, the food Irina made by saying she would cook it herself was also stew….

As expected, this student was the same.

Of course, the taste is much better than it was back then.

As if I had learned to cook professionally.

I enjoyed the excessive lunch box.

After that, she broke up with Miya-senpai and walked down the hallway alone.

She was planning on going back to her office and getting some sleep.

Hakim was also taken care of, and Ekina would report to me if anything happened, so I had some peace of mind.

‘I miss the 1st princess’s sofa.’

She was thinking that as she walked down the hallway.

A familiar face caught her eye.

Just looking at the white uniform made me irritated.

The only familiar one is the 1st Princess’s Knights of Light.

The chief of staff of operations, Sir Damian, was a fairly high-ranking officer there.

“Lord Veil. “Have you been okay so far?”

After saving Leah, he became friendly and smiled.

Then, he came to me carrying a basket wrapped in silk.

“As expected of a Subangsa, I am always relaxed.”

“It looks like that. “You look like you’re having fun.”

Damian smiles politely.

Like Miya, there were dark circles under his eyes.

“What are you doing here in the West?”

When I asked, Damian handed me the basket he was holding.

“I’m here to deliver this.”

A lunch box peeking out from underneath the luxurious white silk.

A warm temperature rose as if there was a warming spell.

“Uh… Why is Sir Damian preparing my lunch? .”

When I asked carefully, the staff member raised his glasses and answered.

“The princess made it herself.”

“Yes… ? Leah herself?”

Damien opened his mouth to my question with serious eyes.

As if giving important operational information.

“Yes, you said you made it ‘out of boredom’ after reading Lord Bale’s newspaper.”

‘I was bored so I sent the empire’s operational staff here… ?’

“Well said, I’ll just leave now.”

“Thank you for your hard work on the long journey.”

I spoke to him with a shocked expression.

Then, a young man with glasses turned his head.

“No, I was happy to be outside in the fresh air for the first time in a long time….”

He leisurely left Subangsa Temple with a tired expression like Miya.

Looking at him like that, I thought silently.

‘As expected, Subangsa is the best.’

Before he could return, he received another lunch box and threw it away.

Thanks to that, I came down the hallway and sat down on a quiet bench.

Nearby, knights and couples were enjoying lunch in privacy.

I lifted the basket in that atmosphere.

What’s inside?

If you are the 1st princess, it will probably be a very burdensome dish, as is her usual charisma.

‘Isn’t there a grilled dragon tail?’

I smiled and opened my lunch box.

“Um… ?”

Surprisingly, there was a small hamburger and orange juice inside.

And, there is a letter underneath.

I opened the letter and read it quietly.

「I made this because I was bored at work, Bale Mikhail.」

「Looking at the kitchen, it looked like he didn’t enjoy eating, so I made only a little bit.」

「So, even if it’s not enough, don’t complain and eat it.」

「Lea, Andalusia.」

“Thank you so much.”

I sighed in relief and took out a small hamburger.

My stomach was already full from eating the two princesses’ delicious dishes.

I took a bite of the hamburger.

Then, the sweet and savory bread, fresh vegetables, and juicy meat melted.

Clean and delicious.

I never thought the first princess would make such friendly food.

It was nice to enjoy it because it wasn’t burdensome.

I enjoyed my leisure time drinking refreshing orange juice.

A butterfly fluttering under the warm sunlight.

You can even see young people smiling and eating food with each other.

‘Ah, how nice it would be to live in an atmosphere like this for the rest of my life.’

Thinking like that, I quietly closed my eyes.

But.

Soon, I heard the sound of something landing on the bench.

I was drawn to that sound and opened my eyes.

Next, I encountered a Jeon Seo-gu with a note tied to its leg.

“Secret letter… ?”

Powerful mana is detected in the note.

However, no evil energy is felt.

I carefully opened the note and read the words.

「Did I interrupt meal time?」

‘He is the Imperial Prime Minister.’

I recognized it through the handwriting.

“It’s okay.”

When I spoke, the text erased itself and a new phrase was engraved.

「I’ve taken care of everything for the afternoon, so come to the central imperial palace. “Very secretly.”

‘Very secretly.’

The moment I heard those words, something went down my spine.

To the point where the peace I enjoyed a little while ago is overshadowed.

“I don’t feel good…” .”

As I muttered to myself, the text on the note was rewritten.

「Don’t worry, it’s good news.」

It’s good news.

What is the good news that will be delivered to me from the center?

I swallowed the hamburger.

And then, following the secret route written on the note, we headed to the central imperial palace, ‘Cheongung’.

As the Prime Minister said, very secretly.
