84. Visit to the princess (3)
A luxurious platinum carriage arrived in Northon.
I headed home, being forced to sit on that soft seat.
“Bail Mikhail. “Looking at your expression, you look very uncomfortable.”
The 1st princess, Leah, sat across from me.
She looked at me happily, resting her chin on the back of her hand.
“No. “I’m not uncomfortable at all.”
I just coughed once.
The two royal families persistently dug into me as if they had discovered my weakness.
As a result, the situation ended with me taking Leah’s carriage home.
Obviously, Lydia was against it at first.
But when she received an unspoken promise from Leah that she would go, she willingly let me go.
I concentrated my mana and tried to eavesdrop on the conversation.
But because her body was tired, she could not eavesdrop completely.
‘Home address… ?’
I felt like I only heard those three letters at a glance.
“There is no need to pretend to be fine in front of me.”
The princess shook her head with a cold expression.
Then, she said, taking off her imperial hat.
“Because I can clearly see the intense golden light shaking in your heart.”
‘Maybe it’s because the other person is a wizard, but I feel like my insides are being revealed.’
I cleared my throat and closed my mouth.
Then, avoiding the princess’ gaze, he turned his gaze outside her window.
It was raining outside.
The gloomy atmosphere really suited Northern Northon well.
All the roofs are black, even the dull gray roads and buildings.
I looked at the familiar atmosphere and waited for the right time to get off.
“The atmosphere in the North is depressing.”
Leah looked expressionlessly at Northon, who was visiting for the first time.
Residents walking around soaking wet without using umbrellas.
Leah said as she looked at the houses that were as dull as the tunnel they were entering.
“Are you saying you live in a place like this too?”
The first princess lived her entire life in a gorgeous and clean platinum-colored world.
I looked at her and said to her as if it was natural.
“Yes. “She has lived here ever since she returned from the Northern Front.”
“Why didn’t you move when you made enough money?”
The princess asked, moving her hair that was under her hat to her ear.
I responded with a decadent smile.
“If a commoner knight lives in a wealthy village, he will receive all kinds of attention.”
The princess said she was surprised by my answer and laughed.
“Most knights struggle to get attention from nobles. “You are so unique.”
I could have gone to the western part of the capital as she said.
However, there is no guarantee that there will not be a henchman of the crown prince among them.
If I don’t want to be noticed by them, it’s better for me to stay here at least.
“For the sake of unity, I need to hide my existence.”
I put on my hat with a serious expression.
And Leah brought out a very appropriate example to make it easier to understand.
“Just like the princess’s novel….”
She smiled and raised her head.
But, at that moment.
I was speechless.
At her joking words, Leah was looking at me with a very cruel expression, like a lion.
“I’m sorry.”
I apologized first before swearing.
However, even after hearing those words, the princess did not lose her expressionless expression.
“No. “Just keep going like you are now.”
On the contrary, he just smiled at the corner of his mouth and relaxed with dead eyes.
“That way, it will be more fun to handle in the future.”
The princess tilts her head and looks at my body.
It definitely seems like my mana has increased….
Something was a bit scary.
“I… “I would appreciate it if you could drop me off here.”
I arrived near my house at a good time.
I opened the door and bowed my head as much as I could to show respect.
“Thank you so much for taking me here, Your Royal Highness.”
I knelt down and took a step back.
And then he slowly got out of the carriage.
“Yes, I allow it.”
The princess smiled at me like a mole.
“However, the next time you call me….”
Leah paused for a moment.
He then looked down at me coldly and warned me.
“There should be no impure intentions like today.”
“I will keep this in mind.”
I kept my head down even after getting off the carriage.
And I waited until Leah’s carriage left.
￣￣￣￣￣￣.
Soon, the carriage drove away, cutting through a puddle of water.
Only then was I able to raise my head.
“Phew.”
I took a deep breath.
Then she furrowed her eyebrows at the stinging pain she felt in her lungs.
‘Let’s go back quickly.’
I went straight into the villa to meditate.
My accommodation is on the 3rd floor.
It is a structure that can be reached by going up the spiral staircase.
Noisy party sounds were heard from the second floor.
Normally, I would have been annoyed by noise pollution, but….
I had spent a breathtaking time with the royal family so far, so even that felt nostalgic.
“Whoa…” .”
When I got home, I took off my jacket.
And then, wearing a dress shirt, I sat cross-legged in the middle of the living room.
I started taking deep breaths.
Next, I closed my eyes to focus on the solid mana condensed in my Danjeon.
Is it because Mana has become stronger over the years?
Her young body cried out in pain.
She held back her teeth and brought her hands together.
And slowly green mana spewed out.
A level at the level of Vice-Captain Ekina of the Red Flame.
Level Sword Master.
Afterwards, scarlet mana spews out.
A level at the level of imperial vice-captain Camilla.
Sword Master Intermediate.
Lastly, there were only six people in the empire….
Golden mana was released.
Sword Master Advanced.
The overflowing power was calmly stabilized.
During the process, I broke into a cold sweat.
My legs were shaking as if they were going to explode.
My arms, which were tightly held together, also trembled.
In that way, the intense golden mana was condensed into the heart.
Soon, that moment.
“… !”
So much so that the curtains on the veranda fluttered.
A wave so strong that all the documents on the table flew away erupted from my body.
I remember right before I died.
The swordsmen that I have cut down countless times.
The mana and power I gained from them.
All of that came together in my heart and I reached the level of a sword master or higher.
And we called that state like this.
Grand Master.
Now we will be able to rise to that level again.
But, at that moment.
This body will explode too.
So this power cannot be released yet.
‘I need to train my body so that it can withstand it like it did in my previous life.’
I clenched my teeth tightly to block the intense white mana that was about to be released from my heart.
Then, I concentrated my mind to the point where all my nerves were protruding, and I was able to barely contain the force inside my heart.
“Ha….”
Only then did the creeping white mana subside.
Thanks to this, the fluttering curtains became calm, and the papers were scattered on the floor.
I sprawled out on the floor, sweating profusely.
And then I took a deep breath.
Fortunately, the pain that was constricting my heart subsided.
However, my whole body was exhausted, as if I had just marched.
Thanks to that, I couldn’t even shower and went straight to bed and stretched out.
￣￣￣.
The sound of pouring rain.
The platinum carriage still remained in Northon.
“I’m sorry, princess….”
Is it because I have only traveled on well-paved western roads my whole life?
The wheels of Leah’s carriage were broken on the poor roads of Northon.
“No, it’s my fault for not ordering a spare wheel.”
The princess looked down at the uneven ground.
A strange unpaved road where you never know where you might end up.
It looked like someone who had escaped from himself like a snake.
“Ha, this guy even lives in the same place as himself.”
Her knights tried to put an umbrella over Leah.
“Please wait inside. “The mechanic will be there shortly.”
However, she shook her head resolutely.
“That’s it, the rain has almost stopped.”
She slowly looked around her carriage until the repairman came.
Suddenly, my eyes stopped at the cargo compartment.
When I opened the partition, the box of novels that Bale had saved was revealed.
Then, something she had forgotten suddenly occurred to her.
“Did you guys receive anything from Bale?”
The knights look at each other in response to the princess’s unexpected question.
They all bowed their heads and apologized.
“I’m sorry, but I haven’t received anything from Lord Bale.”
The princess rummaged through her box again.
However, no matter how hard you search, there are only tactical books.
The novel that Bale said he had set aside was not visible.
“Oh my….”
Leah put her hands on her waist.
Then she sighed briefly and spoke to the knights.
“You all have to wait here until the repairman comes.”
“Yes… ? Then, for the princess….”
The knights were taken aback by the sight of the 1st princess trying to leave somewhere alone.
They hurried over to catch up with her.
But, at that moment.
Leah ordered with fierce eyes like a lion.
“I have places to go alone.”
“No. Northon is already a really bad city….”
Knights who are as hesitant as they are deeply loyal.
Leah spoke firmly.
“Northon is also his father’s land, so why have such prejudice?”
The knights were speechless.
The princess stepped away from them and ordered.
“It will take care of itself, so don’t worry.”
Leia put on her uniform hat.
And with her back to her, she leisurely walked through the drizzling Northon.
It’s as if she doesn’t want her subordinates to find out what she’s looking for.
The princess soon reached the street where she lowered her veil.
She had already memorized Northon’s route out the window and confidently went up to his house.
Kkiik-.
The stairs were so old that she screamed every time she stepped on them with her boots.
The princess pressed the button again as if the sound was fascinating.
She then quickly climbed the spiral staircase.
When we reached the second floor, two drunk men were coming down the stairs at an angle.
When they saw Leah, they were so shocked that they pressed up against the wall.
Even though her appearance was beautiful, the aura of a monarch that was felt from her still remained.
“….”
Leah passed them by indifferently.
And….
I realized that room 302 was Vail’s dorm.
Because I felt his mana, which was usually hidden, strong there.
“It sure looks like it hurts.”
Leah proudly stood in front of the door of Veil’s room.
She then knocked with the back of her hand.
Knock knock-.
“….”
The princess silently waited for the veil to appear.
However, there was no reaction from inside.
Even though I can still feel the mana.
This made her feel uncomfortable.
I turned her doorknob with her leather gloved hand.
Kkeak….
The old door opened very easily.
Leah senses something strange about her.
“Veil? “Are you inside?”
From Noble mtl dot com
The princess frowned when she saw the documents scattered on the floor.
Because she was a mess, as if there had been a thief in her house.
“I’ll go in for a moment.”
She briefly took off her dripping uniform jacket.
Afterwards, she entered the living room, taking out the wand from her bosom.
“Is it in the bedroom?”
Mana waves felt in the living room.
Lea, attracted by this, carefully opened the door.
And….
Her sharp eyes began to sparkle.
Bale fell asleep on the bed.
I saw intense white mana emanating from his shirtless body.
“That…” .”
A white radiance that she had only seen once in her life, from her father.
Leah approached slowly, as if fascinated by its brilliance.
She then looked down at the tired, sleeping face of Veil.
“Are you asleep?”
I already knew that this guy was a sword master.
However, she had no idea that she had reached a higher level than that.
“I guess this was the reason it hurt.”
The princess took off her gloves.
And she carefully stretched out her hand.
Leah presses her palm against his sweaty shoulder.
She cast a healing spell on him to make him feel less pain.
“Ugh….”
After hearing Veil’s groaning, the princess withdrew her hand for a moment.
She then tied her own abundant hair back behind her.
“Be patient. “You’ll feel comfortable soon.”
She came close to him again.
She stretched out her hands and breathed her mana into her palms.
Soon, that moment.
“Huh?”
Leah blinked her blue eyes at the black shadow cast over her.
Because the sleeping Veil reacted to her mana and raised her body slightly.
Well, he didn’t stop there.
Her body tilted towards her, causing her to lose her senses again.
“Now, wait a minute…” .”
His fainted body fell upon Leah.
The shock caused the princess to fall down on the carpet in her bedroom.
“Veil… !”
However, no matter how many times I called him, he did not respond.
His upper body, which was covered in cold sweat, covered the princess.
