Became the Escort Knight That the Princesses Were Obsessed With chapter 121

121. Dancer (1)

“Haa….”

I went to work with a distraught mind.

Maybe it was because of what happened this morning, but I couldn’t concentrate on my work as a defense engineer.

I was worried that this would cause disruption to my work.

‘How much work do I do at the office…’ .’

“Bale, what are you doing? “It’s your turn.”

Miya, who was playing poker together at the table, said.

“Oh, yes…” .”

I was bruised and played my card like a machine.

Then, the senior chuckled and said that he had been waiting.

“If I throw that away- I win-.”

Miya played a card with a higher number than me.

Then, she took the silver coins that were on the table.

“Ahh, I earned money for lunch.”

“Congratulations….”

When I said blankly even though I lost the money, Miya gave me a puzzled look.

“That’s strange-? “I can’t believe the miser Bale is calm even after losing his money.”

She observed me intently with round eyes like a cat.

I laughed and looked around.

“I guess it’s because I’m a little tired today.”

“Are you so tired that you can’t even think about money?”

Then, the senior becomes even more embarrassed.

She looked at me with a more serious expression.

“Isn’t it really painful somewhere?”

Miya stretched out her hand and slapped it on my forehead.

And he muttered with a thoughtful expression.

“Hmm, that’s strange. “I don’t have a fever.”

“It’s just because my mind is complicated. “Just get some rest and you’ll get better soon.”

When I said that I had concerns that I couldn’t say out loud, Miya agreed.

Instead, she comforted me as much as she could.

“Okay, then how about paying half a meal today?”

“I guess so. “I think it might be better to rest.”

I’m already very hungover from yesterday’s company dinner.

So, I thought it would be better to lie down and rest comfortably at home.

“Okay, I’ll go back to the headquarters and report in advance.”

“Thank you, senior.”

Miya got up from her seat.

And then she walked out of the hallway of her office, habitually dusting off her cigarette pack.

“Rest well and see you tomorrow.”

I waved her hand to her senior without saying a word.

Afterwards, she laid back on her office chair and sighed.

“Ha….”

It’ll be okay.

Because it was just a kiss.

I didn’t know that my first kiss would be stolen by her drunkenness.

Of course, I thought it was a dream and joined in, but….

If anyone were to see it, they would be taken straight to the gallows.

‘I’ll have to be more careful next time.’

From now on, let’s not wander around and act godly.

With that in mind, she waited for the vacation notice to arrive in Jeonseo-gu.

But….

―――――――.

In addition to the vacation notice, Jeon Seo-gu arrived from the headquarters and received another document.

And, there was a handwritten letter from Miya attached to that piece of paper.

「I’m sorry, Veil. The general gave his permission, but he asked me to carry only one piece of jewelry on the way back.”

A small pouch attached to the leg of Jeonseo-gu.

When I opened the pocket, several red rubies appeared.

Red like Lydia’s eyes….

「You can go to Jeokhwaru, an oriental restaurant in the north.」

Jeokhwaru.

This is an oriental restaurant located in the northeastern part of the capital and is mainly used by the upper class.

However. A secret place that only accepts a very small number of them as customers.

It is said that even the Looper family, which was famous in the north, was not allowed to enter.

‘Well, there’s no way I would accept such poor people.’

I put the ruby bag in my bosom.

And then, I got up from my office chair.

“Ha…. “It’s hard to rest.”

I locked the front door and went down the stairs.

Afterwards, we took a carriage and headed to the best restaurant in the North.

「――――――.」

“This is Jeokhwaru.”

“Thank you, please keep the change.”

I gave the driver a silver coin and got out of the carriage.

And….

I was greeted by a magnificent six-story wooden building standing in front of me.

Beautiful tile-shaped roof.

From the antique entrance to the restaurant guards guarding the front.

It is indeed a restaurant that only the highest class of the empire enters.

“What brings you here?”

“I came here for work.”

I showed the Subangsa mark in my arms.

Usually, when the bodyguards see the imperial knight symbol, they are startled and open the door.

However, Jeokhwaru’s guards were different.

“Please wait a moment.”

They quietly whispered to each other, then began to communicate with someone using electromagnetic magic.

「Arrived.」

「Ask them to come inside.」

I overheard their conversation as a Grand Auror.

And then, he frowned.

‘Isn’t this a simple delivery mission? ?’

“Let’s go in, I will guide you.”

I didn’t think it was a big deal and followed them inside.

Anyway, all I have to do is deliver the ruby.

But.

“How long do I have to go in?”

“We will arrive soon.”

They obviously only came to give me jewels, but they led me deep into Jeokhwaru.

Climb the stairs to the top floor of the 6th floor.

It was originally a secret space not revealed to others.

I, a commoner and defense engineer, dared to enter such a place.

“Please sit here.”

I was suddenly seated in a small guest room.

There were oriental tables and folding screens.

“Hey… “I just came to deliver, not to eat.”

I said while looking at the plate that looked expensive at first glance.

However, the bodyguards said in a tone that it did not matter.

“I know.”

They closed the sliding door.

And then he went far away.

“….”

What the hell is going on?

I sat down in the chair, tilting my head.

I stared blankly at the folding screen with the poppy on it.

The same picture as the place where we met Lydia’s relatives a few days ago.

The pictures are spread out in a long line.

‘It feels like sitting alone in a theater.’

I only drank water in that strange atmosphere.

“Are you here?”

While I was drinking water, my eyes lit up when I heard a sound coming from beyond the folding screen.

“Lydia… ?”

When I asked, the youngest princess appeared between the folding screens.

“I was waiting.”

Unlike her usual routine, she came wearing a loose oriental dress.

She smiled and came to the seat next to me.

“Was it the princess who asked me to send you her ruby?”

“Yes, I made a special request to the Subangsa executive.”

I was surprised by her power that even controlled executives from other organizations.

However, I calmly asked her what her purpose was.

“Why did you ask for the jewels?”

From Noble mtl dot com

“I just needed a little bit so I asked you to bring it to me.”

Lydia glanced at me with a gloomy expression.

Actually, it was as if there was no need for things like Ruby.

“I heard she had a day off today?”

The princess asked me with strange eyes.

“Yes, I was planning on just delivering this and resting.”

“Is that so-?”

When I told her that I had no more schedules, Lydia raised the corners of her mouth.

It was as if she had been waiting for those words.

“Then you don’t have to go home today.”

The princess sat next to me.

And, she spoke in a friendly voice.

“After all, tomorrow is the weekend, right?”

“That’s right. However, I have no intention of staying out.”

I nodded at her with an embarrassed expression.

Then, the princess placed her chin on the back of her hand and smiled her desired smile.

“Then, let’s have a meal together.”

“Okay, we can at least have a meal together.”

I answered her words skillfully.

With the nuance of only having a meal together.

“Hmm-.”

As I avoided staying out all night like a snake, the corner of the princess’s mouth twitched.

However, she hid her lips and shouted.

“Please bring lunch.”

Clap clap.

As she clapped, chefs began to come out from beyond the folding screen.

As if we had been waiting in advance.

‘What…? ?’

Luxurious Oriental dishes began to be placed on the spacious red table.

Most of the dishes were dishes I enjoyed at the conference.

“Now, do you want to eat it?”

The princess picked up her chopsticks, pretending that nothing had happened.

And then, he skillfully placed the meat on my plate.

“Are you prepared to have a meal with me this time?”

“Of course, otherwise why did I order rubies to be delivered when I didn’t need them?”

I sighed in relief at Lydia’s confident words.

‘Yes. ‘If it’s just a meal, she’s a fairy.’

Is it because of what happened with Leah?

I slowly started to become afraid of the princesses’ proposals.

Liquors as gifts piled up at home and a broken sofa.

Now that my house was breached, I couldn’t let down my guard even an inch.

In that respect, the meal with the youngest princess was at the level of cuteness.

“I will eat it with pleasure.”

I smiled and ate the meat she served.

“But next time, please eat in a more open place. “It’s a bit burdensome here.”

“Hmm- really?”

The princess did not eat the food.

She just sipped water and stared at the folding screens in front of the table.

“But the reason I called you here wasn’t just because of the cooking.”

Lydia stretched out her finger.

And he pointed to the middle of the room, which was set up like a stage.

“This place is famous not only for its cuisine, but also for its dancers.”

‘Dancer… ?’

When I tilted my head, the lights in the room began to turn off all at once.

「Begin.」

As the princess shouted in a magnificent voice, a red light appeared in the middle of the stage.

Soon.

Women wearing cheongsam began to enter elegantly in a row.

A thin cloth wrapped around the body.

Thanks to this, their bodies stood out.

――――――.

They began to dance softly to the dreamy oriental music.

The appearance was as sensual as a goddess from mythology.

Furthermore, the dizzying hem that is open all the way to the pelvis….

She was nervous as she stood next to the princess, fearing that her gaze would go that direction.

“How do you feel?”

The ruler of the East sitting next to me asked me.

For some reason, his voice became more serious than usual.

“It’s beautiful.”

I answered honestly.

However, I was not swayed by the atmosphere.

Because I already went through something big this morning.

After getting used to the dancers’ movements, I calmly drank the water.

And then, alone, I observed their dance rationally with my arms crossed.

“The dancers’ skills are amazing.”

“Really?”

The princess looked at me carefully.

Then, she asked in a very meaningful voice.

“Is it to the point where you fall in love?”

“… ?”

I was watching the dancers as thoughtlessly as possible.

I answered her question mechanically.

“Yes, what man wouldn’t fall in love with such a beautiful scene?”

I spoke calmly to praise the hard work of my subordinates.

“Everyone will be mesmerized and look at it.”

“Yes, I guess so.”

Lydia raised the corners of her mouth as if she was satisfied with my reaction.

“Because this dance is performed by adult women when they find a man they like.”

And then, for some reason, he spoke in a voice that became sullen.

“It is a dance that every woman from the East must learn at her coming-of-age ceremony.”

“I see.”

‘It’s a coming-of-age ceremony…’ .’

I nodded without thinking.

Still, with this kind of eye relief, I felt like I was forgetting the events of today a little.

Thinking like that, I watched the play with the princess.

But.

A fragrant smell gradually began to waft from the room.

And that smell somehow made people feel hazy.

“Her Royal Highness, may I dare to ask whether she wore perfume?”

Thought it was strange, I silently looked at the dancers and asked.

“….”

Lydia’s answer did not come back.

“Her Royal Highness… ?”

My eyebrows twitched when Lydia, who had been responding kindly up until now, became silent.

“Are you okay?”

I turned her head to see her reaction.

And, the moment I look at the princess’s seat.

“… ?”

My eyes sparkled at the sight of her suddenly disappearing.

“Where did you go…?” ?”

Thought it was strange, I quickly looked around.

However, no matter how much I looked, I could not see the girl with pigtails in the audience.

She tried to get her body up from her seat to find her.

That moment.

――――――.

I stopped at the sharp sound of a string instrument.

Then, I looked towards the dancers, the source of the sound.

‘What is it? The dancers….’

Definitely the dancers who came right in front of me and were dancing.

Those women disappeared.

Just like Lydia.

Instead, a white and red mist began to rise from the side of the folding screen.

“….”

I looked closely at the fog.

Then, a small silhouette gradually appeared among them.

“No way…” .”

My eyes sparkled at the familiar shadow.

Soon.

“Bale, please take a seat.”

A little while ago, I came face to face with Lydia, who had changed into a slutty outfit like the dancers.

“The dance begins now.”

She wore a black cheongsam.

She spoke to me with eyes that were more seductive and erotic than anyone else.

“Hwa, Her Royal Highness. When did you prepare for this dance?”

I asked with embarrassed eyes.

Then, the princess walked towards me, showing off her desirable pelvic line.

“Well.”

Lydia looked down at me with devil-like eyes.

Then, she gently traced the tip of my chin with her finger.

“The bill allows you to share the same room from the age of 19…”

That’s right.

Lydia is 19 years old, past her last birthday.

I was now at the age where I could do everything as I wanted.

“After signing?”

A girl with pigtails came up on the table.

Like a female leopard.

Her red eyes twinkled as she took in her prey.

“You agreed, Michail.”
