244. Shaman (2)
On the way home from work after meeting the Northern Grand Duke.
Three princesses and a secretary were on board the returning carriage.
A man sandwiched between them.
Just a little while ago, we had suppressed the Empire’s Black Tiger together, but now that he is gone, all eyes are on the fox. It was focused on
.
“Why do you want to go there alone?”
Lydia still sitting on my lap.
She is alone with her arms crossed and a sullen expression on her face.
“That’s because it’s dangerous. “She obviously doesn’t have good intentions if she goes so far as to smuggle herself into a warring country.”
At some point, it seemed as if her thighs had become a comfortable home.
The young black panther glanced back at me with his red eyes.
“That’s right. “How anxious would we be if you went to a dangerous place alone?”
Lydia pressed her soft buttocks against her thighs even more mischievously, as if scolding me.
However, because she is so light, I just find her cute.
I found it fascinating every time I saw the difference in size between his usual boisterous personality.
“Are your highnesses worried about me? “After all this time, have you been watching?”
She looked at him cutely and tried to laugh it off.
However, Lydia’s words upon her return were words that were difficult to ignore.
She actually stopped smiling playfully for a moment and became serious.
“Your body is no longer just yours, right?”
Lydia slightly lowered her head as if she was embarrassed even after speaking.
Her pigtails, which were draped over her shoulders, also fell down.
“….”
I stared blankly at the youngest princess’s black head and then slowly lifted her face.
Then, she looked at Irina and Leah sitting across from her.
The noble princesses look at me with concern.
The worry wasn’t that I was worried about losing to the shamans.
It was pure concern that arose because we had a deep connection with each other.
“That’s right, Bale. I’m not doubting your skills. “But I want you to know that you are not alone anymore.”
Irina said with her neat eyes as she placed her hand on her own chest.
Leah seemed to agree with this as she crossed her legs and silently agreed.
They were princesses who led the strongest knights in the empire and lived without any worries.
I can’t believe they think of me and worry about me.
For some reason, her heart felt hot inside.
“I understand.”
I soon softened my white-faced expression.
Next, I hugged Lydia’s stomach as she sat on my lap with both of her hands.
“… !”
The youngest princess, her pigtails instantly flinched at that touch.
Soon, I held her angry eyes and stroked my hand that hugged her.
“I will come back unscathed. So, I hope you trust me.”
I smiled brightly at the high-ranking superiors who were worried about me.
Then, they calmly nodded, probably feeling relieved.
“Also, you must not follow me disguised as a government official, female student, or saint!”
“Okay….”
They know how important this time is.
The situation is unknown whether the crown prince will pretend to be with the empire or if he has other ideas.
Knowing this, the princesses watched in silence as I changed into a carriage heading to Cornell.
I shook off the jacket I was wearing and went down the stairs of the carriage I was riding in.
Then, senior Miya, who was silently sitting next to me, followed me.
“Veil…. Why do you suddenly want to go alone?!”
I raised the corner of my mouth in response to her urgent question.
“Even I cannot predict the skills of shamans. “I don’t know if it’s magic or simple swordsmanship, but it’s hard for me to fight while protecting everyone.”
“I am strong enough. And, I’m your secretary!”
Miya said confidently, placing her hand on her waist.
“How can a senior leave his junior alone and send him to battle alone?”
Come to think of it, Miya-senpai was also the type of person who graduated from the academy early on and gained practical experience.
So she was able to take on the gladiators with just a hatchet.
But, this time is different.
The opponents are really court shamans who smuggled themselves into the empire, prepared to die.
I wanted to cherish her as I was her senior who was the only one scolding her that day.
“… !”
The moment I was persuaded by seeing Miya’s cheerful appearance.
I came to understand the concerns the princesses had about spending her days alone.
“This is what it felt like.”
The senior tilted her head when she heard me muttering to myself.
Her well-combed black short hair was gracefully tilted.
“What…?” ?”
“No.”
In response to Miya’s question, she pursed the corners of her mouth.
Then, she slowly shook her face and stroked her cheek.
“I’m not going to the battlefield. “Cornell is my hometown.”
She slowly walked away, leaving behind the senior who worried about me.
Then, out of a desire to reassure her, I shook her hand.
“I have watermelon cut into cubes in the office storage room.”
Miya’s lips twitched as she was depressed by her unexpected story about watermelon.
“Wait while eating. Senior.”
He said he would come back when he had eaten a watermelon.
Miya ended up laughing at that bravado.
“Really….”
So I boarded the carriage heading to Cornell.
Afterwards, I left the princesses and Miya behind and headed to her hometown along the well-paved road.
“Just come back. “I will really scold you then.”
The senior blew on her soft cheeks, puffing them up.
Then, I became nervous as I saw the princesses approaching me.
‘Could it be that you are angry because I stole your last greeting…? ?!’
Dressed in her secretary uniform, she gently placed both her hands together and bowed her head slightly.
She then heard the noble and noble voices of women.
“Hmm…. It won’t be easy this time. “I made it a point to go alone.”
“You said you did it because you were thinking of us. Because the opponents are shamans.”
When a grumpy Lydia muttered with a sullen expression on her face, Irina gently scolded her.
He seems to have become more relaxed after his relationship with Veil deepened.
“Hmph. “We, the knights of the East, will be able to sort out those shamans in an instant.”
Lydia turned her head away, as if she didn’t like that.
“No, what Irina said also makes sense.”
Leah’s face was met when she turned her head.
Even though she was usually laid-back and relaxed like a queen, she frowned when she heard the story about the shaman.
“The origin of witchcraft is the southern region. “There are many technologies that are not yet known to the empire.”
She was originally Leah, the daughter of Rosanna, who was called the Great Witch.
She murmured, placing a graceful hand on her own chin.
“Furthermore, Cornell is a place where shamans who were rejected by the empire gathered. “Maybe he could collude with the southern shamans and plot something.”
The main entrance to her academy became quiet for a moment after Leah’s meaningful words.
Then, Lydia glanced at the two princesses and the female knight and spoke.
“So, since it’s dangerous, you’re just going to see it safely in the capital?”
The third princess of the empire with sparkling blood-red eyes.
Her eyes were fierce, as befits a powerful person with strong opinions and great action skills.
“Of course not.”
The same goes for Leah and Irina.
As befits the children of conquering kings, when the veil disappeared, she opened her eyes with a strange and cold look that had never been shown before.
“Yes, but Veil was disguised and told me not to follow you…” ?”
Miya, like a black cat standing among wild beasts, asked back urgently.
Then, the princesses smiled sinisterly at the corners of their mouths, as if they were now used to it.
“Hmm-. Well.”
Lydia stroked her smooth lower abdomen, where her veil hugged her tightly.
Now that I think about it, it felt like something black was showing through the white dress shirt.
She said, “She told me not to follow her in the form of a schoolgirl….”
As her Miya focused on the faint colors, Lydia slightly unbuttoned her own Y shirt.
And she quietly showed what she was wearing.
“Wouldn’t the rabbit be okay?”
“… !”
Miya’s lips parted at the obscene clothing design she had never seen before.
The material clings tightly to her body, showing the curves of her navel and pubis.
The shape of the clothing that covers the breasts dizzyingly without any bra straps.
The princess, who is supposed to be the most noble in the world, is dressed like this… !!
“Uh… ?”
The black cat slowly turned his head to see the unbelievable reality and also looked at the eldest daughter of the empire.
Then, Leah slowly raised the corner of her mouth, as if she had already known about Lydia’s underwear.
“That’s right, because rabbits are not humans.”
Leah chuckled, putting her back to her.
Now that I think about it, she is the first princess who, unlike usual, is wearing strange stockings with black lace.
It seemed as if it was a set with something she was wearing underneath.
“….”
Unlike the dull veil, the faces of the women, Irina and Miya, turned white.
They looked blankly at Leah and Lydia, who were laughing and hiding their shallow and sinister intentions.

“It’s only natural to help your soon-to-be husband, isn’t it, Leah?”
“That’s right, I’m not the best at witchcraft here, so it might be helpful.”
The 1st and 3rd princesses dispersed, perhaps thinking of acting separately from now on.
They were secretly fiddling with something they had put in their pockets.
“There are some things I want to try.”
A round and smooth crystal ball.
The princesses parted ways, stroking the beads they each received.
“….”
Irina and Miya are left alone.
I wonder what Lydia and Leah are planning.
I was curious about ‘what’ I was wearing underneath.
So they, who had the same goal, looked at each other blankly.
“Lord Miya.”
“Yes, Your Highness Irina.”
The two exchanged solemn glances like knights about to enter a great war.
And then they boarded the same carriage to chase the two people together.
Before leaving, the words he left behind have long since faded away.
「――――――」
“Whoa…” .”
I barely got on the carriage.
Thanks to you, I was finally able to be left alone.
“I’m finally alone!!”
He stretched out his arms and legs as if he had finally found his own home.
And then, I laid down on the carriage seat in that state.
I stared blankly at the carriage ceiling.
The imperial emblem of the empire was beautifully carved on the ceiling.
‘When I think about it, I never thought the day would come when I would ride a carriage like this….’
The past days when I just tried to live quietly at Subangsa Temple.
However, Irina’s visit and the missions I performed as a defense engineer led me to this point.
Rosanna, who was the greatest underworld, also resolved a misunderstanding with the emperor.
Camilla also became a strong enough woman to become the teacher of Miya and the Verdant Knights.
Director Lin’s sick younger sister has been cured, and she plans to return to the battlefield as soon as her injuries recover.
“Okay, now we just have to take care of the crown prince’s business and that’s it.”
I naturally felt stretched out in every situation that was slowly coming to an end.
However, one question suddenly came to mind.
“But what remains after that?”
Once all forces threatening the empire are over.
What will happen to me?
Suddenly, the image of the future I saw in fortune teller Regina’s bead came to mind.
Two children lying together in my bed.
And, the twins and another child who came to see me outside.
However, the scarier fact here is that they may not be the end.
Probably the time at that time was around 5 PM.
At that time, it is time for children to leave their seats for tutoring or go to the academy.
“I guess I’ll be okay…” ?”
Suddenly, goosebumps appeared all over my body.
Since I became Grandmaster, I have never felt cold except when I met Princess Christina.
“I guess it’s my mood….”
I tried to comfort myself and closed my eyes.
And then, I took a deep breath and went to sleep.
“You are all noble people, so is there anything going on?”
Hometown of my heart.
Heading to Cornell.
