128. Student Date (2)
I had a dream.
I dream of going back to my days as a knight candidate.
Wearing a white dress shirt and black suit pants.
I took classes in a classroom with other classmates.
At that time, I was extremely toxic.
As a commoner and an orphan, the only way for me to survive in the competition was to raise my ‘value’.
So, when I was a candidate, I volunteered to be drafted to the front line.
When my friends were dating other female students, I studied practical skills alone until late at night.
Thanks to this, I almost never dreamed of going back to my candidate days.
But why….
‘Did I have this dream?’
The darkened night sky.
I stay in the classroom alone until late, preparing for the written exam.
Just like that, I was about to leave school for the last time today.
The dark classroom door opened.
―――.
And….
A dark silhouette of a woman approached me.
She is wearing the same student uniform as me.
However, because it was in her dream, her face was in shadow, so she couldn’t recognize who it was.
「Bale, why are you studying so hard?」
My classmate asked me a question.
“That’s right… “Because I want to get ahead.”
「Success in life? “Then is there a knighthood you want to join?”
“Um…. It would be nice to be able to escort the princess. “You can live comfortably while protecting the beautiful princesses for the rest of your life.”
Obviously I couldn’t see her face.
However, for some reason, it felt like the corners of her mouth went up.
「Really? So, which of the princesses would you most like to protect… ?」
I frowned at the persistent questions.
‘Was there a girl I knew who was close enough to me to ask this question?’ ?’
I gazed closely at the girl’s silhouette.
Then, with her back to her, she approached me with sensual steps.
「Perhaps….」
And then, he whispered in a captivating voice.
「Is it me?」
My eyes sparkled as I saw her getting closer.
That moment.
“… !!”
I woke up tossing and turning as if I had been struck by lightning.
“Ha….”
Because I was wearing an eye patch, the whole world was dark even when I woke up.
But, I could feel it.
The place where I am lying is the office chair.
“Well, I dream about things like this….”
I feel like my senses have become more sensitive since I acquired the Grand Aura.
Perhaps because of that influence, I started having strange dreams.
“….”
I finally came to my senses and slightly raised my eye patch.
‘Phew….’
Fortunately, the office is still the same.
Cynthia and Jane, the candidates who came to field training, are still sitting on the sofa.
“Hmm?”
But….
Unlike when I first saw it, the children seemed more nervous.
‘I let you go like that so you can be comfortable….’
Looking straight ahead with her arms on her thighs.
It was as if a commander had come to visit the office.
‘Wait a minute, Commander… ?’
Feeling anxious, I lifted the blindfold up to my forehead.
And the moment you turn your head in the same direction as the girls.
“You’re sleeping very soundly during work hours, Mikhail.”
A woman wearing a white uniform that fit her body caught her eye.
“Did you at least have a good dream? “Her face is red.”
She turns her back and looks down at me.
I touched her hair that was pressed against mine with her fingers.
“Hwa, meet Your Highness the Princess.”
I jumped up from the chair and tried to bow her head.
Then, Leah firmly shook her head, saying it was okay.
“I heard that the Defense Knights are free….”
The princess looked down at me with the cold eyes of a soldier.
Then she raised her arms on the leather chair I was sitting on and said.
“I didn’t know it would be this bad?”
The girls in uniform sitting on the sofa also flinched at her question.
Like herbivores facing a lion.
“No, I just finished patrolling nearby and took a break!”
I clasped my hands together with a sly smile.
However, she raised the corners of her mouth, saying it was no use.
“Really? “You mean making apple jam too?”
Leah’s brilliant blonde hair spilled from her chair and tickled my face.
“Yes… ?”
“You look curious as to how you knew.”
Leah looked down at me like I was an animal.
She called someone with a calm expression at the same time.
“Please come in.”
The office entrance is open.
Then, I noticed a man with glasses coming in with an awkward expression on his face.
“hahahaha…. Nice to meet you, Lord Bale.”
“Damian! “I told you to eat alone!”
I shouted in an oppressed voice.
Then, the Empire’s operational staff scratched the side of their head with an apologetic expression.
“That…” It looked so delicious that when I was eating it in the office, the princess came and stopped….”
Leah placed her hand on my shoulder.
She said, and she turned her chair towards herself.
“When giving and receiving gifts, don’t you usually take something from your superior?”
“I’m sorry. “I will definitely spend it with you next time.”
I turned my gaze away from her dizzying body that was getting closer.
“For some reason, I didn’t have enough apples to prepare for the princess.”
When the princess heard my sly reply, she narrowed her eyes.
There was a hint of playfulness in her eyes.
“Okay… ? “It means that if there were enough apples, they would have done my part as well.”
“Yes, that’s right.”
Seeing Leah calm down a little, she internally sighed in relief.
However, soon my breathing stopped again.
“Then, buy it now and make more.”
“Yes… ?”
My eyes twitched at the princess’s words.
“You’ve been sleeping all this time anyway.”
Leah rested her elbows on her leather chair.
She chuckled and rested her chin on her palm.
“I will give you the work to do myself.”
“hahahaha…. All right….”
I somehow maintained a smile and nodded.
I then looked at Cynthia and Jane sitting on the sofa.
The girls looked blankly at Leah, who is famous for being cool-headed, playing a prank on me.
The moment I was about to order them to get an apple.
“You sure you’re not trying to pass on the duties to your juniors who came on field training, right?”
Leah resolutely blocked it.
“Oh, how could that be…? . “I will go to the market by myself.”
I smiled broadly at the lion looking down at me.
Then, she hurriedly got up from the chair and took her jacket.
“Let’s go together.”
As I headed to the entrance of her office, Leah followed.
“Can you follow me to the shabby market?”
“Yes, as the commander, I have to watch to see if you are doing your job well.”
The princess follows behind her back.
I looked at her burdensomely.
“It’s okay, I’ll be back soon.”
A white uniform with ornate gold epaulettes and decorations.
If you show up at the market dressed like that, it’s obvious that everyone will stare.
But.
“No, how can I trust this guy who was sleeping like a fox just a little while ago?”
The princess patted my shoulder and smiled coldly.
“Come on, let’s get out.”
“Okay….”
Unfortunately, it became difficult to refute the accusation due to negligence in work.
In the end, I followed her out of her office.
“….”
The two girls in uniform looked at that with dumbfounded expressions.
Then, Jane carefully whispered to Sia.
“What on earth is your teacher doing?”
“I don’t know this time….”
The two knights were amazed to see Leah up close for the first time in her life.
Even her younger cousin Jane is embarrassed.

“But what should we do now…” ?”
“Well, there are still a lot of things I want to learn from Master….”
Damian approached the girls who were in trouble.
“Would you like some cookies, candidates?”
The Empire’s operational staff smiled brightly.
The girls pursed their lips at his tall appearance.
“It will take some time for you two to return, so I will help you with your practice in the meantime.”
Damian has only ever heard of Leah delivering lunch boxes and helping her.
I didn’t know, but he was also one of the best talents of the Knights of Light.
“Directly from the Chief of Staff?”
The girls’ eyes lit up at the suggestion of the empire’s elite executives.
“Yes, when you are 18, you will be learning the command system, so I will teach you.”
The girls were excited about a special experience that is difficult to have in life.
They expressed their gratitude to Damian with clear eyes.
“Yes, thank you!!”
“I will study hard!”
The defense engineer’s apple jam practice was soon forgotten.
「――――――.」
Northon Market.
A man and a woman walked through a city full of people.
‘How did this happen…? .’
I suddenly went out to buy groceries with the first princess.
“Hmm… “I heard that Northton’s security has improved these days, but the roads need repairs.”
Even after going to the market, I watched Leah thinking about national affairs.
Not knowing that she was attracting the attention of all the people, she was worried about whether she was asleep or awake.
“Your Highness…. Since there are so many eyes watching, wouldn’t it be better to go back to the imperial palace?”
When I asked, Leah glanced back at me.
And, she answered with a calm expression.
“We walked around well together before, didn’t we?”
“At that time, she was disguised because she was wearing a maid’s uniform, but now anyone can see that she is a princess.”
Leah looked down at her own uniform.
Then, she tilted her head as if she didn’t notice anything wrong.
“Isn’t anyone looking at an ordinary knight like you?”
“He is not ordinary, he appears to be at least an elite executive.”
A collaboration wearing a tight-fitting uniform with fancy gold epaulettes.
Nothing attracted as much attention as that.
“Well, it doesn’t matter. “As a member of the royal family, it is important to keep the people in mind.”
In the first place, as she was a wizard, she had no particular concerns about her own safety.
Because she is much stronger than most knights.
“But today, there are many students wearing school uniforms.”
The princess said as she looked at her cadets who came out to her market.
“Yes, there are many students going to and from field training, as well as students attending nearby academies.”
We looked at the students moving around in droves with satisfaction.
They were busy laughing and chatting with their classmates.
“You must have had times like that too.”
“That’s right. However, I was always training and had little time to go to the market.”
I laughed and shook my head.
Then, Leah looked up at me with suspicious eyes.
“Were you a good student?”
“Well, he was quite the senior. So, wouldn’t she have seen the princess up close during the appointment ceremony?”
Leah heard me and narrowed her eyes.
“I wouldn’t believe it based on what I saw in the office just a moment ago.”
“….”
When I cleared my throat, Leah raised the corners of her mouth.
“I’m just kidding, because I think highly of your abilities.”
‘I think I’ve gotten a bit more into jokes these days….’
Leah smiled and slowly took the lead.
The wand held between her hands behind her back fluttered like her lion’s tail.
“Now, go ahead and lead the way to the fruit vendor.”
“This way,”
Soon we arrived at a fruit vendor.
Leah looked curiously at her apples lying on the street.
“Is this okay?”
The princess picked up a red apple among them.
I responded softly.
“No, when making jam, green apples have a better texture and are more delicious.”
Leah nodded her head and took a handful of her green apples.
I somehow found it cute to see them collecting apples one by one in their fierce uniforms.
“It certainly seems like you have a knack for cooking.”
“I have 20 years of experience living alone.”
The princess listened to my answer, nodded her head, and then suddenly felt something strange.
As far as she knows, she is already 20 years old just by my age.
“20 Years… ?”
Leah must have sensed the meaning of my words, and her lips parted.
The expression on his face when he realized that I came from an orphanage was astounding.
“….”
However, she soon raised the corners of her mouth with a grin.
And then, she spoke to me subtly.
“It’s okay, isn’t a family something that can be created later?”
“Yes, you can make it…” .”
I cleared my throat for a moment after hearing her words.
“Hmm, then, since I bought some apples, shall we go back soon?”
I put an apple in a paper bag and took the lead.
The moment you are about to go outside….
“Hmm?”
I could see people retreating outside.
And, there was a long line of people lined up on the main street.
I carefully squeezed through the crowd to see whose procession it was.
Soon, both eyes sparkled.
‘Prime Minister Mosian… !’
Sudden patrols of His Majesty’s Imperial Guard and the Prime Minister.
When I saw that, the area under my eyes started fluttering.
“What’s going on, why are you so bruised?”
Leah followed me.
Then, I took her and hurriedly turned her head again.
“Let’s go back in, I need to buy something other than apples!”
“Is it watermelon again?”
I whispered quietly to her question.
“This is the Imperial Guard. “It’s all over the place!”
“Hmm, is this an unannounced patrol?”
Leah tilted her head calmly.
It seems that they were not aware of the seriousness of the situation.
“If we get caught, it won’t be a good look.”
“What’s wrong with us being together?”
Fortunately, the Imperial Guard has nothing to do with the crown prince.
However, the most important thing here is ‘who’ is the imperial prime minister’s close associate?
“If His Majesty is told that we are together….”
When I mentioned the Conqueror, Leah’s mature eyes sparkled.
“I think I know what you mean.”
The princess nodded her head.
And then, as she glanced towards the market, she said.
“However, it won’t be easy to avoid all the SS scattered around….”
“Is there no way?”
When I asked, the princess placed her hand on her chin.
And with wise blue eyes….
I looked at the academy students filling the market.
“All I have to do is not get caught because I’m here.”
Leah took the lead deep into her alley.
Soon, she headed to a nearby dressmaker.
“Wait a moment.”
I followed her orders and guarded the front of the store.
I guess about 20 minutes passed like that….
She turned her head at the sound of the door opening.
And, at that moment.
“How do you think, at this rate, even Mo Xian won’t notice?”
The sensual silhouette I saw in my dream.
A woman who fit that silhouette walked out.
“It was a little difficult because there was no uniform size that fit.”
The academy uniform dress shirt is tightly wrapped around her body.
A tie barely draped over those dizzying curves and shaking.
A skirt that is tight on the pelvis and makes the waist line tight.
In another way, it was perfect for attracting people’s attention.
“She may only be wearing a school uniform, but just by looking at her face, you can immediately recognize that she is still the princess.”
“Oh, that can be easily solved.”
Leah took out the wand.
And then, let’s lightly touch her own hair….
“… !”
Her brilliant golden hair was dyed a beautiful black.
“At this level, you won’t recognize it unless you see it right in front of your nose.”
She glanced at the girl in school uniform who was smiling maturely.
Of course, for a girl, her body was very sensual….
It certainly seemed difficult to immediately recognize it as Leah.
“Then, while we’re disguised, shall we look around a little more?”
The princess was still relaxed, whether she knew my tense feelings or not.
As expected, it is the leisure of an empire’s eldest daughter.
“I understand.”
Perhaps it was because her outfit had changed, but she looked happily at Leah, who seemed more lively than usual.
I followed her lead and walked side by side through her market street.
“Why don’t you take off your jacket too?”
While walking, the princess glanced up at me and asked.
“It would be strange if you were a driver and I was the only student.”
“That is certainly true.”
I took off my uniform.
Then, the princess took the jacket from me….
Her own short skirt was tied at the waist.
Thanks to this, her backside was naturally covered.
“Then where do you want to go first?”
I asked as I loosened the knots in her neck from sleeping.
Then, Leah answered in a relaxed voice.
“Hmm, wouldn’t it be natural to go to a place with a lot of students?”
Leah thought about it as if she was planning a strategy.
Afterwards, she seriously pointed to her food alley with her finger.
“….”
I soon realized that she was actually looking at her students with interest.
She naturally blended into the crowd together as if responding to her gaze.
However, even most of the students were busy looking at the princess.
That’s because the princess’s visuals were of a type not commonly seen in her academy.
‘I don’t know if this has any camouflage meaning.’
Leah didn’t particularly care about the students’ gaze.
She just enjoyed this place, which was different from the fierce world she had lived in so far.
