How to Subdue the Masochist Princess 7

Chapter 7 – I Will Go See You Now

The beginning of the war.

Due to the overwhelming demand for commander-level talent, the imperial government decided that the officer training system operated in peacetime could not sustain the front line.

Thus, the institution established was the officer training center.

It was a kind of special education institution to gather candidates from nobles or semi-nobles conscripted from all over the empire in one place and grow them into commanders capable of putting them into action in a short period of time.

Numerous nobles, who had to enroll one or more of their precious children in this unfamiliar institution, similar to the ‘school’ that commoners attend, naturally objected.

In the end, when His Majesty the Emperor personally declared the mobilization order, he had to bring the ‘least precious’ children to Jedo with tears in his eyes.

Even aristocrats who had no children other than heirs were no exception, so some aristocratic families who seemed to be cut off if they didn’t care were probably going crazy.

But what can I do?

The coalition of foreigners who had achieved great unity in the north was stretching out its black grip to dare to invade the empire’s territory.

After all, war was inevitable.

And I was one of the first graduates of the cadet school.

‘Damn, Damn, Damn!’

“Hmm.”

The vice-captain, standing in front of me in a rigid posture, turned his head and cleared his throat slightly, his chest shaking.

Unlike usual, I couldn’t say hello.

In the end, the vice-captain asked me with a worried expression.

“Guild Commander? By any chance, if I made a mistake…”
“Ah, vice-captain. No, you didn’t do anything wrong.”

To the extent that he openly showed emotion on his face in front of the vice-captain who had come to report on work.

I think I’ve become quite disturbed because bad memories started to come to my mind.

But it can’t continue like this.

I opened my mouth with a very miserable feeling.

“Current commanders, no… Muster all commanders, including the tens commander. We need to spread the word.”

Instead of receiving a report as usual, he immediately gave an order to assemble, and the vice-captain looked quite surprised, but thankfully, he immediately complied without asking.

“Yes, I understand.”

I immediately moved to the conference room and waited for the commanders to gather one by one while sitting at the round table.

Without the vice-captain, it would have been more than twice as difficult as it is now.

The centurion, who should play a pivotal role in the Black Lion Knights, knows how to sharpen a knife. Because it’s not easy to work together.

Well, since they are all people who have risen to the rank of centurion, it is probably more because they have developed bad habits from working under their predecessors for a long time, rather than being incompetent themselves.

This is why the boss is important. Because all the people under him are bound to be affected.

‘Ha, really… ‘

During normal working hours, I intentionally refrain from thinking about other things, but perhaps because I am disturbed, these and other useless thoughts keep swirling in my head.

For a while, I kept my head down and my forehead pressed tight.

—What is it? Fuck, what kind of baby did you think?
— Shhh, be careful with your words. The captain may be listening

—Damn it, I don’t want to see that scary man angry just by looking at his face again
—I agree. Still, he’s a much better person than the leader.
—Don’t you think it’s rude to compare yourself to that pig?

I immediately corrected my posture when I heard a buzzing sound from nearby and the sound of urgently running one by one from a distance.

After closing the door at the end, all the members gathered, including one captain of the Ten Commandments.

Me and the vice-captain sitting around a round table. And the centurions.

And the preparations for the meeting were completed as the captains of the Ten Commandments, standing in line according to their respective affiliations, all took a break and took a posture.

“Vice-captain, is everyone gathered?”
“Old! Everyone has gathered here, except for the dispatched personnel and Raul, the commander of the Decenade, who should be in the infirmary by now.”

That’s right, everyone gathered except for those who aren’t in the unit right now and the guy with a hole in his shoulder.

“I’m sorry for calling you here while everyone is busy, but I’m speaking directly.”

When I opened my mouth, all the different colored eyes of nearly 100 goggles began to stare at one place.

A wide variety of faces, from puzzled expressions to tense expressions to irritated expressions.

After taking a quick look at the faces of the commanders, I finally declared publicly.

“The princess is said to be visiting our Black Lion Knights soon.”

Cold silence.

A suffocating silence dominated the entire space for a while.

“Heeep!”

What broke the silence that lasted for dozens of seconds was the hiccup of a female knight.

Because of that, everyone’s eyes focused on only one person for a moment, and she, unable to withstand the pressure from her, made a look as if she were crying.

“Hey… I’m sorry!”

It was a very obvious deja vu to me.

In an indescribably complex atmosphere, I quietly closed my eyes for a moment.

‘Yes, it must have been like this at that time.’

Right before graduation from the officer training school. That is, when the battlefield was just around the corner.

The ears of the candidates had heard that His Majesty the Emperor would come personally to boost the morale of the new officers.

When we received the news that a being close to the present god, a symbol of absolute authority, would arrive before our eyes, we all fell into a panic.

Half-jokingly, there was even a story going around that it would be better to just go to the battlefield right away.

One of the candidates, the son of a wealthy merchant who received an honorary title of nobility, hiccups like that.

Is that friend still alive?

It’s a face I miss if I miss it, but there’s no way to know where it is.

As soon as everyone graduated, they scattered in order to fill the void in the front line.

When I slowly opened my eyes from my thoughts, the 1st Centurion commander who was sitting next to me spoke cautiously.

“If it’s the princess… Are you sure you’re referring to the princess Alicia? No, why would she be here…”

I don’t know, you bastard.

For a moment, I almost spit out the harsh expression I remembered as soon as I heard the meaningless question, but I managed to hold it in with a faint sense of self-restraint.

White chief. If that’s to the extent that a guy the size of the first centurion would openly ask for it, needless to say the embarrassment the other men must have felt.

“Who the hell is coming? The royal family? The royal family why?!”
“This isn’t real…”
“Why is someone the size of a princess interested in a knight’s order…”

Uncharacteristically for knights and even commanders, all of them gave up their dignity and showed reactions that were close to being drunk. I didn’t even think of reprimanding him.

There was no way that the princess, who had grown up like a flower in a greenhouse, would suddenly become interested in the military field.

The reason you have to come here is probably because of me.

Things that happened that night start to flash through my mind one by one.

The naked body of the princess, not even wearing a thread. The look on my face made me tremble with fear. Even physical contact that did not ask for consent there.

‘What happened to me today. Never forget.’

Why are you doing this to me? There are things that will prick my conscience… There were too many.

When I see the subordinates showing symptoms of panic as a group, regardless of top or bottom, my eyes close tightly.

‘I’m really sorry, everyone.’

My sins are great

Princess of the Empire, Alicia von Diana Solaris.

Unlike other members of the imperial family, who adhered to mysticism as much as possible to maintain her royal dignity, she was unusually active outside the country.

Because she was Alicia, who approached even the most lowly people without hesitation and generously gave good deeds, while she visited her church whenever she had a chance and prayed for her personally.

Her benevolent personality and sincerity were already well known.

That’s why, when she said that she would visit the Knights of the Black Lion, one of the knights who protect her empire, for the purpose of consolation, no one doubted her purpose.

In the first place, it was not uncommon for high-ranking officials, including the imperial family, to inspect military bases or knights.

However, since Alicia had never shown any interest in the military field of her empire, some doubted that she might have begun to pay attention to the competition for her succession.

Since the reputation of the princess built up so far was so solid, such impure opinions quickly faded.

Of course, Princess Alicia herself had a completely different idea.

“Your Highness the Princess. A carriage and escort have been prepared for the visit of the Black Lion Knights.”
“Yes. I have something to prepare, so could you tell me to wait a little bit?”
“Yes, Her Highness the Princess.”

After sending all of her maids out, Alicia looked at herself in the full-length mirror and checked her outfit once more.

A pure white dress reminiscent of her bridal wear and a large navy blue ribbon accentuating her mysterious silver hair. Even a pure gold necklace with a large sapphire set in her middle.

It was truly dazzlingly beautiful.

However, her expression was only pouty. Could there be something unsatisfactory about her?

“Huh! That man, you dared not even contact me after doing such a shameless thing that night.”

The appearance of Alicia who began to mutter to herself at the mirror.

Now, Alicia was telling herself a secret she couldn’t even confide even to the ladies-in-waiting of her villa, who had taken care of her ever since she was a baby.

“You dared to shake my heart this far, so you must take responsibility.”

Her hobbies, which she used to enjoy regularly to relieve her accumulated stress from acting out her ideal princess figure in front of others, she could no longer enjoy.

Also, her memories of that night were vividly recalling and haunting Alicia even now, more than a week later.

It was all the man’s fault.

“Even to make me go find it myself. I can’t get over it.”

—Sreuk

After muttering a meaningful word, Alicia suddenly began to remove all of her clothes that covered her lower body.

Shoes, stockings, garter belts, and…

“Sigh…”

Even the pure white piece of cloth that should cover the most secret wife.

“Wolfgang von Schwarz. You must be prepared.”

—Sureuk, sureuk…

Alicia threw herself back on all the clothes she had left on her carpet, sounding out her warning to a man who wasn’t here.

Just one thing. Except for the most important one.

“Sorry, did I make you wait a little longer?”
“Please don’t talk like that. We are always ready to assist the Noble One.”
“Hehe, thank you. Alright, then shall we go?”
“Yes, Her Highness the Princess.”

After Alicia leaves.

Under the ornate full-length mirror in the princess’s bedroom.

Only her pure white underwear, which had lost its owner, was left alone.
