Became the Escort Knight That the Princesses Were Obsessed With chapter 205

205. Fragment of Memory (2)

“Captain of the princess’s guard, Bail Mikhail. “I’ll ask you again.”

Imperial knights surrounding the collapsed imperial palace.

The representative among them silently stepped to the center.

First, I walked silently among the corpses of the fallen knight commanders.

“If you surrender now, I will appreciate your martial skills and let you become an imperial knight.”

Tall height and manly physique.

A blonde man in a white uniform held out his hand.

“So, get out of the way and reveal Princess Irina’s escape route.”

Rosanna stared at the leader of the imperial knights who proposed her.

And then I realized that he was Richard, a member of the Knights of Light of Leia.

Only then did she realize.

This current situation is the future.

“If you do that, Emperor Leon will definitely reward you greatly.”

The news that Leon became emperor.

Satisfied with this, Rosanna closed her eyes as if listening to her beautiful melody.

After her own son became emperor and purged her princesses.

Resurrecting the mother country Ekina by destroying all alliances of the empire.

The image was reflected brilliantly like a famous painting.

But, at that moment.

「That’s funny.」

The blood-covered veil opened its mouth as if to ridicule Rosanna’s plan.

「When I returned as an official knight after making a contribution on the northern front, you were the ones who appointed me here.」

A knight guarding the princess with blood dripping from his forehead.

He smiled bitterly, as if he was empty.

「And now, come and stand on the crown prince’s side… ?」

His lips were all swollen and stained black.

「Be honest. From the beginning, you were planning to appoint her as a guard for the princess who is scheduled to be purged soon and kill her together, right?”

Bail stood upright, wearing a torn uniform.

And then, he pointed his sword at Richard, who had turned to the Crown Prince’s side from the Knights of Leia.

「But now, do you believe me saying something like that?」

Even though he had cut down dozens of elite knights, the man’s voice was loud.

The imperial knights hesitated at the sound.

Only their vice-captain Richard is relaxed.

“Oh my…. “It seems like he was very dissatisfied with being Irina’s escort.”

Guardian of the abandoned princess.

Richard nodded his head, perhaps aware of the hardships of the job.

“So, shouldn’t we give them a chance now?”

The vice-captain’s bloody blue eyes flashed.

Ten years later, Richard’s eyes did not look like a knight’s, but instead had eyes that were as mean as a snake.

“This is the last consideration I give as a member of the Knights Templar.”

At his relaxed attitude, Bale wiped his forehead with the back of his hand holding the sword.

Then, he slowly shook his head.

「No, that will never happen.」

If it were a life-threatening situation, anyone would have kneeled.

However, even though he was given the last chance, he resolutely refused.

Rosanna looked at that with interest.

「I fought my whole life to become an official knight on the Northern Front. But what you do after becoming successful like that….」

At that time, the aura that flowed over the body of the veil was golden.

Rosanna stared blankly at him, who was very strong even before he acquired the Grand Auror.

「If you are just a puppet who kills an innocent princess….」

Aurors obtained by killing numerous sword masters.

As they became entangled several times, his mana began to shine like a diamond.

I got to see the process of him becoming a grandmaster right before my eyes.

「I would rather die with honor.」

The princess Howie raised her sword.

Behind the sword in front of him, his black eyes held a bright light.

“The complaints of an abandoned person are solemn.”

Actually, Richard knew it too.

She says Irina is not guilty of anything.

Even after the emperor died, he was under pressure from curses and various assassination attempts.

However, every time that happens, the guard leader, Bale Mikhail, stands in the way.

All the other princesses were unable to withstand the pressure and left for their home countries or other countries.

For Irina, any pressure was completely blocked due to the veil.

Accordingly, they were targeted for purges and faced even greater danger.

Richard, who knew this well, smiled bitterly.

“If I had been weaker, I would have escaped alive.”

Richard took out his great sword.

And then, he pointed to Bale and said.

“I will clear a path. If I create an opening, you can stab it with your spear.”

The Imperial Knight Commander thought that only he, a fellow sword master, could deal with him.

He boldly took the lead holding a great sword.

「Okay, come….」

Veil held Irina’s treasured sword firmly.

Afterwards, he faced the rushing imperial knights alone.

――――――!!

The two leaders’ swords were strongly interlocked.

Bloody flames flew here and there.

There were definitely knife marks all over his body, and his uniform was a tattered veil.

He competed with Richard, who was in full condition, for a whistle.

“How can I still have this kind of power…” !!”

Richard held the sword firmly with both hands and attempted to parry the driving sword of Veil.

However, the more the swords clash, the more they clash.

I can only feel the disastrously strong difference between myself and him.

“This, this bastard…” !!”

He also activated golden aura.

However, he soon realized.

“… !”

He was a knight from a commoner whom he had looked down on so much.

One of them has reached brilliant white aura.

The state he had finally achieved after killing so many knights sent shivers down his spine.

“Car, prepare the windows!!”

Richard swung his sword repeatedly, leaving an afterimage.

Then, he finally limited Veil’s actions by crossing swords with each other.

“Now is the time!!”

According to the command of the commander, the knights stretched out their spears from behind.

「… !!」

Bail violently pushed away Richard’s sword that was facing him.

Afterwards, he flew a white sword and broke the spear blades of the rushing knights.

Some knights were thrown into the air by its overwhelming strength and fell.

Rosanna’s lips parted as she saw that scene.

“The power of the empire’s strongest people was absorbed while fighting for life…. Yeah, that was the secret….”

He was a veil that absorbed the power of all the imperial knights he had captured.

The Empress’s heart pounded as she saw his beast-like appearance.

But.

「… !!」

No matter how human he was, he couldn’t break all the dozens of spears.

Some spears began to prick his tattered body.

“The movement has slowed down. Push harder!!”

Richard shouted loudly.

She smiled sinisterly, as if she felt it was now her turn to cut off his head.

A man who could not defeat General Balderian or Camilla.

He raised his sword in the air, apparently excited to boast that he had killed the man himself.

「Ugh… !!」

The veil was stabbed in numerous places, including the side and chest.

He mustered the last of his strength and raised his head.

「It’s not over yet… !!」

The guard leader did not let go of his sword even though he was pierced by a spear.

He grabbed the sword again with superhuman mental strength.

One hand held the sword hilt and the other hand held the sword blade.

Thanks to this, I was able to hold the sword briefly and swing it quickly.

「Do you think I will make way for you guys?!」

“… !!”

Richard was raising his sword into the air.

He tried to cut me apart by striking straight away.

However, red blood was already gushing out of his chest.

Richard’s blue pupils were shaking like crazy.

“All right, Captain… !!”

The knights hesitated at the sight of Richard staggering.

Then, Veil fired white sword energy one after another.

―――――!!

Numerous knights fell to the unexpected counterattack.

The entrance to the collapsing imperial palace was littered with knife marks, as if they had been clawed by an animal.

“Retreat… !! “Retreat first!”

Richard’s SS shouted loudly.

They barely managed to escape from the chaos, taking the seriously injured leader with them.

Thick dust swirls.

Thanks to that, Veil was no longer visible, and he fell into a lull for a moment.

“….”

Rosanna took advantage of the opportunity and calmly entered the smoke.

And then, she watched the back of Veil staggering into the imperial palace.

“Poor thing.”

From Noble mtl dot com

The Empress gazed at her man, whose entire body was aching, with her pitiful eyes.

His blue eyes are very similar to Leah.

“Even though you had that talent, you couldn’t blossom.”

Rosanna thought of her relatives who had married her emperor out of fear of her own abilities.

Thanks to them, the empress also used to spend lonely times alone.

“She died alone and lonely in a place like this.”

The Empress exhaled her breath deeply.

And she, with her hand on her ample breast, watched the end of the veil.

It was clear that his appearance was extremely shabby.

However, the mana forged by the power of the enemies it had cut down shone brightly.

Rosanna stared at that ironic sight.

In the end, she quietly closed her eyes as she watched the veil fall to the floor of the vast imperial palace.

“This is the true nature of the power shown on the stadium.”

Rosanna remains humbly silent, as if in mourning.

However, she soon lifted her golden eyelids as if she sensed something strange.

“Wait a minute….”

It makes no sense if his strength was gained at this time.

This is what it looks like 10 years later.

However, even 10 years ago when she first met him, he was using a Grand Auror.

“With that power, you could turn back time…? ?”

The first empress of the empire looked at his deathbed with an expression of incomprehension.

That moment.

“Veil… !!”

――――――.

The precarious sound of shoes.

With that sound, a neat woman came running towards him.

Irina, the second princess of the empire.

She thought she had run away, but she returned to Bale.

「Why on earth did you come back…? ?」

As if responding to the words of her guard, the princess placed her man’s face on her lap.

And, she answered with bright eyes.

“I thought about it countless times while running away….”

Irina touched his face.

And, she spoke in a whisper.

“But, in the world I decided to create….”

She finally let tears flow down her cheeks.

The tears fell down Veil’s cold, frozen face.

“I don’t think I can do it without you….”

After the thick smoke cleared, Irina and Veil began to be seen more clearly.

Her white dress was stained with bright red blood.

A short dagger stuck in the abdomen.

Blood bubbles were boiling inside that dagger.

“Why on earth…?” !”

I heard Bale’s sad voice for the first time in my life.

Rosanna was surprised by this and her lips parted.

“How did you protect it…?” .”

After this, the moment his hands disappear no more moves.

Irina put her hands together and said her prayers.

More earnestly than anyone else.

She has already lost too much blood and is dying.

Her body came into contact with Veil’s disappearing Grand Auror.

That moment.

“Ugh… !”

A brilliant light radiated from the side of the two people.

“Oh, what happened…?” ?”

The First Empress of the Empire witnessed the miracle created by the Grand Auror and the daughter of the person with the Auror.

“No way…” . “Is it really possible to turn back time?”

Rosanna somehow opened her eyes and tried to observe her miracle.

However, the moment I close my eyes for a moment and open them due to the bright light.

「――――――」

She felt the cold tile floor against her cheek.

「Did you have a good dream?」

A familiar voice.

Hearing that voice, Rosanna gently opened her beautiful eyelids.

“… !”

Soon the Empress realized that she was lying on the floor of the Lastium waiting room.

That too while lying face down.

“Ugh….”

Her black-haired man sat on her waist.

Just a moment ago, she looked like a dying wild fox with a faint look in her eyes.

Now, she looked healthier than anyone else.

“Lord Veil… ? “How did this happen?”

Both arms tightly tied with my tie.

The empress was bound by her man for the first time in her life.

「This is what I want to ask.」

I sat on top of her and thoroughly checked the knots tied on her arms.

After that, something happened in her body.

「Her Majesty Leia, Her Majesty the Empress…. “It’s clear that you don’t just resemble each other in appearance.”

I picked up the hourglass that was lying on the table.

And then, the falling sand was stopped by the Grand Aura.

「To the artifact that stops time. Even peeking into my memories through witchcraft-.”

I smiled with thin eyes.

Like the picture of a fox riding on a lion written in a tarot card.

「I kept leaving you alone to see what you were doing, but I’m glad you just watched quietly.」

Rosanna blinked her blue eyes through her tangled golden hair.

It looked as if Leah had just woken up from sleep.

“No way, I knew everything… ?”

In the past, I remember Leah muttering that there was no way the hypnosis her mother taught her would not work.

Honestly, if it weren’t for the cute spots under her lips and on her chest, the two look very similar.

“That can’t be…” . There’s no way my home country’s treasures won’t work….”

「When I first met you, did you think I was simply weak and couldn’t fight back?」

I approached her slowly.

Then, he knelt down to meet her eye level.

「You’re welcome. “I’m just being polite to you considering your high rank.”

Rosanna swallowed her saliva deeply.

The mole under her lip was also frowning.

“Then, why did you allow us to peek into your memories?”

As expected, the first empress of the empire was different.

She asked me calmly, as if exploring her knowledge even in a situation where she was cornered.

“It could have been unpleasant, but that’s why I let you see it.”

「….」

I looked down silently at the emperor’s first wife.

Then, she opened her lips with a meaningful look.

「Before that, I would like to ask you about your review of my memories.」

“Review… ?”

I stepped away from the tightly bound princess for a moment.

Then, Rosanna lowered her lifted dress with her bound arms.

Thanks to this, the tight black stockings were hidden.

「I don’t even know how to use magic like the Empress, so you should know that there is no manipulation of memory.」

“Yeah, I don’t really have any doubts.”

「Then you must have noticed that I came from the future to the past.」

“….”

Rosanna couldn’t answer that question quickly.

No matter how much she remembered her, even if she had seen it in person, it was so unrealistic.

“Yes, I definitely wouldn’t be able to understand your power without knowing that much.”

I calmly nodded her head.

Afterwards, she emphasized the word ‘inside’ that she mentioned.

「That’s right, everyone has their own personal circumstances.」

I walked slowly, avoiding Rosanna’s gorgeous dress that covered her floor.

Then, he stopped right in front of her and asked her.

「Have you ever thought that just as there are circumstances that I cannot tell others, your Majesty the Emperor may also have secrets?」

The emperor suddenly mentioned.

Rosanna expressed her displeasure at this.

“Why is he bringing it up all of a sudden?”

「In the past, I heard that His Majesty brutally killed His Highness’s relatives right before his eyes. From that moment on, the Empress began to hate His Majesty.”

When Rosanna revealed her sad past, her eyes became cold.

It felt like the temperature in her waiting room was strangely low.

「However, the Majesty I met was not that kind of person. “He loved his children and was truly worried about the Empress.”

“There’s nothing you can say about having me tied down for a while, Mikhail.”

Rosanna spoke in a harsh voice as if she did not want to hear about this.

It seemed like the entire space would be frozen at any moment.

“It’s too much of a joke.”

‘It’s great magical power…’ !’

「It is not a joke. If that were the case, why would I take the time to show Her Majesty the Empress my memories?”

I approached her with her serious eyes.

Then, she got down on her knees and said.

「Just as you know how I became stronger, I wanted to let you know that there are circumstances in which even your Majesty would not be believed even if I told him.」

Rosanna met her eyes.

And, he made a request in a meaningful voice.

「So, let’s have an honest conversation together. “I will help you.”

The first empress of the empire looked coldly for a moment after hearing what I said.

“If you don’t like it.”

The eyes of a woman who feared even her own country, and who swallowed up empires in the past.

If you were an ordinary person, everyone would instantly freeze at that look in your eyes.

However, is it because she already experienced it in advance through her daughter?

I smiled brightly when I saw Rosanna.

「If you don’t like it, there’s nothing you can do.」

Like a sly fox.

「Right now, I have no choice but to take you to the middle of the stadium, tied with my tie.」

“What… ?”

Rosanna burst into laughter as if she was shocked.

Her lips also frowned.

「I must report that Her Majesty the Empress entered the room of her husband, stopped her time, and groped her body.」

I made a pitiful expression, like a guard knight in a sad novel.

And then, with a faint smile, he waved the hourglass.

「All a weak man like me can do is tell you.」

“Ha….”

Rosanna was so shocked that she couldn’t help but laugh.

Thanks to this, every single mole on her chest was naturally shaken.

“The guy who was so powerful on the field is now sly.”

The Empress waved her tied arms with an angry expression.

「She will be remembered as an empress who could not yet control her youthful spirit and coveted another man. Otherwise, it is up to her to have a frank conversation with His Majesty the Emperor.”

I put both hands together and tilted her head like a poor girl.

Rosanna spoke in a scary voice despite the fact that I was the grandmaster just a moment ago.

“One day, I will make you beg for my life….”

The Empress exhaled her breath deeply.

“Huh…”

And, for a moment, I thought about why I was suggesting this.

Afterwards, I muttered quietly as if I had gathered my thoughts.

“Okay, so let’s solve this first.”

Rosanna politely held out her tied hands to me.

Because her hands were together, her voluptuous skin was also beautifully puckered.

「As expected, it is a wise choice.」

Only then did I smile brightly and loosen the tie that bound her.
