The procession fills the road.
A carriage shining with dazzling decorations, the horsemen guarding the front and back, and even the infantry wearing them.
The flag held by the leading soldier was engraved with a pattern that everyone on the Continent knew.
It is the emblem of the imperial imperial family.
Yes.
This procession was to escort the personnel of the imperial family.
“Princess, we are arriving soon.”
Albrecht, a man with dazzling blonde hair, said in the carriage.
At the end of what he looked at was a girl with blonde hair that looked just like him.
It was Erines, Albrecht’s only nephew, whose raised eyebrows resemble those of a hawk.
“Why is my father sending me to this place?”
Erineth said in a voice that was as clear as her appearance.
The signs of dissatisfaction and anger were expressed in the tone of voice.

One reason she reacts like this is that the one at the end of this road is none other than the Holy Kingdom Elia.
“What is studying abroad, I prefer to live in Hwangseong.”
Erineth’s lips protrude.
About three months ahead.
It was during this period that her father, Maximilian, ordered her to study abroad to cultivate an aptitude for theology.
Albrecht laughed awkwardly.
From https://noblemtl.com
Of course, because Maximilian, the older brother, knows the real reason why she sent her to study abroad.
– Oh, please. If she grows up like this, Erineth will become a ruthless human. There is no frills when you just support the people around you.
That was the gist of the words he asked for with a tired face.
Get along with your peers in Elia and let them know how to get along with others.
Also, know manners and respect.
Erines wouldn’t know.
How much was the donation used to push her into Elia, who has a strong tendency to close, and how much manpower was split up.
‘It was only possible because of Sir Vera’s acquiescence.’
It was a wonderful coincidence of understanding.
By the way, Vera also wanted to make friends for his children, and the imperial donation was enough to appeal to Vera, so Vera has no reason to refuse.
Moongrak-.
The wagon was shaking a lot, but the shock did not spread to the inside.
Maximilian’s magical engineering products made by grinding scholars were shining until this moment.
“It must be the villagers. They must be those who eat grass every day without even knowing the ‘Ma’ character of magic engineering.”
Erineth grunted and touched the ring on her hand.
This is also one of the magical engineering items bestowed upon her for self-defense.
she said with a grim smile.
“Hey, just try climbing. I’m going to blow my mind away with this.”
The way he smiles because he’s already crippled is quite evil.
Albrecht looked at him and smiled awkwardly.
‘Well… .’
Inside, there was a conjecture like certainty.
Vera and Renee, whom he knew, were not good people, so naturally the thought arises that their children will also be extraordinary.
‘… I shouldn’t have been too discouraged.’
Albrecht looked inwardly.
Please don’t hurt your nephew.
I hope that you will rise up from the pain of your pride being shattered.

In front of Elia’s gate, Vera and Renee brightened their complexion as they watched the royal procession approaching from afar.
“It’s coming.”
“Is the princess riding over there?!”
Lennon answered Renee’s words.
A bright smile floated on his face.
The thought of making friends of the same age was already full of anticipation.
Renee smiled and nodded.
“Yes, you are the Imperial Princess?”
“yes! Theresa said it! The people of the Imperial family have dazzling blonde hair!”
“That’s right, both the emperor and the prince are shiny blondes.”
Renee patted Lennon’s head and continued his thoughts.
‘Eight years?’
It was the last meeting with Albrecht that he met on the way back to Elia after he had just been resurrected.
For Renée, it’s nice to see someone he considers his best friend to come.
“came.”
As the thought continued, Vera said.
His face is also bright.
However, the reason was different with Renee.
‘donation.’
amazing donations.
There is a lump of donation burning inside that will give a green light to Elia’s finances for a while.
Since I don’t have a ponytail, did I ask you to educate me?
‘I’ll make sure.’
The corners of Vera’s lips rose sharply.
Their daughter, Lenny, looked at him with longing eyes.
‘cool!’
A smile that looks somehow dangerous is cool.
I want to make that face too.
With that thought in mind, Lenny twitched the corners of her lips with her twinkling eyes.
*
The carriage door opened.
Erines took Albrecht’s hand, got off the carriage, and raised her head in the most elegant position she could possibly have.
And I looked at the people of Seongguk who came to meet me in front of the castle gate.
Startle-.
Erineth’s body trembled.
‘What, what… .’
It was different from the image I had imagined.
This is because the apostles and paladins in front of me were in a fairly classy form, contrary to my perception that they were ‘villages’.
Among them, the most striking are the men and women in the front row.
From what I had heard in advance, it was clear that it was the Holy Hwang and the Saints.
‘Mmm, that’s cool… .’
Erineth’s cheeks reddened slightly.
Then, after realizing that she had acted rudely, she coughed heavily.
“I see the Holy Father and the Holy Lady. I am Erines van Frich, the first princess of the Frich Empire.”
A greeting while gently lifting the hem of the gorgeous dress she is wearing.
Renee covered her mouth and blushed.
‘You’re cute… .’
Isn’t she the perfect girl to be called a doll-like child?
Renee, who had a smile on his face, smiled and gave the answer.
“Nice to meet you. How are you doing for three months?”
A sweet voice resounds.
Erines pursed her lips and held back her smile.
Then, belatedly, Lennon took a step forward.
“Princess! Nice to meet you! I… Well! This is Lennon, your son and the Holy Father!”
Elia does not follow the hereditary system.
They also do not give any special status to young children.
So Lennon, who was thinking about introducing himself, ended up saying the same thing.
Erineth’s eyebrows narrowed slightly.
‘what? Didn’t you learn this kind of culture?’
The face is quite… .
No, I only looked after him a lot, but I was eliminated because I had no education.
Erines, who had been judging Lennon inwardly, looked at Lennie.
Lenny caught Erineth’s gaze with an indifferent face, and tilted her head slightly.
‘Cheap, cheap… !’
Erineth’s teeth were slightly chipped.
Erines thought.
I don’t think I’ll ever get to know these people while studying abroad.
*
The flower garden of Daeshinjeon.
Lennon, who took care of Erines, introduced the flower bed with a smile while the grown-ups who were in charge of complex administrative tasks left.
“This is the flower garden of the Great Shrine! These are the flowers that Bargo has always worked hard to grow. Isn’t she really pretty?!”
A question posed with twinkling eyes.
Erineth snorted ‘Hoo’.
‘I prefer the Imperial Garden.’
The flower garden of the Great Hall was not a big attraction for Erines, who was looking at the gardens decorated by the best gardeners on the continent, where all kinds of flowers were shining brightly.
Also, the person who introduced me was Lennon, who was a model of a peasant, so Erineth couldn’t feel good.
Lennon scratched his cheek.
‘weird. They said that girls like flowers.’
Was the pirate king wrong?
Lennon, who had been embarrassed by Erineth’s sullen reaction, made a pale face, Erines said.
“Anyone else?”
“ah! Rohan-sama and Marie-sama are dispatched! Theresa-sama is preparing a class, and Vargo-nim is educating the Paladins! The Pirate King… .”
“I’m not asking that, I mean, are there other people who manage the garden?”
“uh… .”
Lennon’s eyes rolled.
“yes… Bargo takes care of the garden by himself.”
A sigh escaped from Erineth’s mouth.
“Ehh… .”
A head shaking with his forehead.
It was already a sigh of relief that I had to spend three months in a town where there was nothing to see.
Lennon’s body trembled.
His expression was also getting a little worse.
Lennon was always smiling, but he had a sense of humor, so he knew what that reaction meant now.
‘I ignored the flower garden… !’
Lennon felt a strange feeling for the first time in his life.
Something was boiling in my stomach, and I felt bad.
The thought that I do not want to see the person in front of me rises.
Lennon, who loved Elia, felt dislike for Erines, who ignored what he loved.
“What are you learning here? My dad really doesn’t know at all.”
Lennon’s expression darkened.
Both fists were clenched.
The moment his lips licked up to shoot him, Lennon put up with it.
‘… You’re a guest.’
In front of them was the guest.
Don’t get angry because your mother and father told you that you must take good care of them.
Lennon didn’t want to disappoint his loved ones, so he struggled to think of a laugh.
“Well then, shall we go somewhere else?”
As always, the answer I spit out with a bright smile.
However, the fire within Lennon has not yet been extinguished.
*
Erineth’s provocations continued.
Halls and chapels moved sequentially, and even restaurants and barracks.
-what? Is this just a hall?
-chapel? Well, this place deserves a good look.
-to? Is this a restaurant? chandelier? Jewelry on the chair? No, you have to leave it all and eat with other people?
-Ugh, it’s blowing dust!
While Lennon was holding back his anger, it was Erinis’s words and actions, which became more and more arrogant.
The girl, who grew up as an imperial golden jade leaf, and ran wild without knowing that it was high in the sky, didn’t care at all how Lennon’s expression was changing now.
Lennon persevered.
Even if the things you love are denigrated and denied, even if you hear bad things and ignore them all the time.
I endured it all with a single heart that I did not want to disappoint others.
However, even that patience was coming to an end.
“What is here? forest? Ugh, bugs.”
Erineth was ignoring her house, where she couldn’t stand everything, and a haven where her green leaves were always blown by the wind.
The fire inside Lennon swelled.
He opened his mouth wide and swallowed the reason.
“… hey.”
A cool voice that Lennon had never heard before.
Erineth trembled at that.
At that moment, Erineth turned her head and could see the dark, gleaming gray eyes.
“What, what! Why do you open your eyes like that… .”
The moment when he was about to shoot at Lennon, whose pride was hurt by the fact that he was momentarily frightened.
damn-!
Erineth felt a sensation she had never felt before.
In an instant, the mind wanders.
I can feel the burning sensation rising from my jaw, which is pulled tingly.
Reason, who scrambled to his seat late, accepted the situation.
‘I am now… .’
did you get hit in the face?
Erineth looked at Lennon with an indescribable feeling.
Lennon said, looking straight into her eyes.
“Do it in moderation.”
It was a growling fish.
If Renee had seen it, he would have said that he looked exactly like an angry Vera from head to toe.
Erineth let out a smirk.
Then he gritted his teeth and held out the ring.
“You, you are fine… !”
Wow-!
A light shone on the ring.
It created a blue arrow in the air, drawing a single technique.
It will shoot you in the head like this.
The moment Erineth made up her mind.
Chae Aeeng-!
The ring is broken.
The arrow also fell.
Lennon’s body was glowing with pure white divinity.
“End?”
empty question.
Erineth felt her heart flutter.
Bark-.
Lennon took a step closer, and Erineth took a step back.
behavior by instinct.
It was an act that I did because I thought I should get away from him, but it was a meaningless action.
chin-.
Also, the steps he was taking back were blocked by a tree and could not be avoided any longer.
damn-!
Again, Lennon raised Erineth’s cheek.
Erineth couldn’t understand the current situation, so she grabbed her cheek with a blank expression on her face.
As she trembled, Lennon leaned her head toward her.
“hey.”
Erineth’s head, which had been nailed to the floor, was lifted.
What you see in front of you is a beautiful white boy who is all white.
Such a boy was looking at him with a cold expression.
The boy stretches out his hand.
It wipes away the inorganicly slapped cheek.
Erineth felt the pain disappear the moment she touched it.
“You have to do it in moderation… .”
Still a cool voice.
Eyes slanted down towards the stroking cheeks.
And the white eyelashes that faded.
It was a sentiment that did not fit the situation, but the moment she saw them from such a close distance, Erines unwittingly burst into admiration for his beauty.
While Erineth’s nerves were all taken to a strict position, Lennon whispered.
“If you don’t have a flair, it might not end like this next time.”
thud-.
Erineth’s heart trembled at the gentle threat.
Heat rose up on his face.
‘Hey, what is this… .’
feeling aching in the heart.
Erinez let out a rough breath, remembering her mind confused by the strange feeling she had felt for the first time in her life.
“Let’s do it?”
Lennon smiled wryly.
Erineth nodded her head with a blank mind, not knowing what I was doing.
Erines is 7 years old.
Growing up as an imperial family member, she, who had never even been hit by her parents, woke up to her first love with pain in the cheek.
… Erines, who later recalled that day, said:
“The face is the problem, the face.”
If it wasn’t for that face, I would never have fallen for him.
