Chapter 9 – The Side I Want to Show Only to You
A few minor incidents did happen.
Fortunately, in the end, no major accident occurred and the schedule of the princess’ visit to the unit, which had many problems and many problems, was coming to an end.
“The schedule is almost over now. You’ve worked really hard, Vice-captain.”
“No. It’s all thanks to the strong support of the captain.”
“Honestly, what did I do? You did all the practical work.”
In particular, the vice-captain really put a lot of effort into it.
No matter how much the princess said she looked around her troops, it was her credit that she was able to fix the knights headquarters, which was a mess, to a plausible level within a short period of time.
The vice-captain was truly outstanding in his ability to manage crises, as if this had happened more than once or twice, and thanks to that, my confidence in the vice-captain increased even more.
On the other hand, it seems like I’ve shown almost all of the facilities of the Black Lion Knights that I can brag about to the princess.
There would be no need to make the princess stay here any longer.
He felt sorry for his subordinates, who could not do anything while confined in the headquarters barracks.
Everyone has worked hard day and night for a few days, so I have to let them go home early today. No matter how strong the knights are, physical fatigue and mental fatigue are separate issues.
—Tdubeok, thudbeok
But, why did the princess just walk away without saying anything?
Even so, the princess of the empire personally came to visit her one knight leader, but in the end, it was a car that felt very uncomfortable because I couldn’t have a proper conversation with her.
That’s why I was just thinking about whether I should forcefully create a seat after the schedule was over.
— Creepy!
Suddenly, goose bumps rose from his spine.
‘What?’
In addition to the five senses, humans also have another sense.
It is what is often referred to as the sixth sense.
In general, coincidence or misfortune are simply treated as other terms, but when you enter the realm of superhumans, the story changes.
It is the sixth sense that sometimes acts as a more powerful basis for judgment than the five senses at critical moments, such as on a battlefield, where lives come and go.
However, in such a peaceful moment as now, my sixth sense even sends a small but warning signal.
It was strange.
However, it was literally a minor warning sign, so it wouldn’t be such a big deal.
Of course, as long as the princess was here, she wasn’t harboring any complacency.
Currently, the Black Lion Knights are guaranteed almost absolute safety by the Imperial Guard and the commander-level vigilance troops that I personally selected.
It was because the possibility of something dangerous happening was extremely low, as I personally guarded the princess’s side.
Maybe it was just a warning sign that something a little unlucky might happen today.
No matter how high you climb, you can’t trust your sixth sense in an inconclusive situation.
Even outside the battlefield, those who rely on their sixth sense all day are often called paranoid or paranoid.
It is not right to be overly vigilant. Just being conscious would be enough.
Thinking of that, I looked up at the sky, and the sun was already setting in mid-heaven.
It was early in the morning when the princess and her party had just arrived at the guardhouse, so time had passed.
I asked the princess for her opinion, who had been holding on to the hem of her skirt since earlier and wiggling her fingers while her face was strangely blushing.
“Princess. With this, the tour schedule of the Black Lion Knights has been completed. Is there any place you would like to visit more, or do you have any additional questions?”
Then, the princess raised her head, and she met her eyes with mine and gave her an unknown smile.
“I don’t have any questions, but there are places I want to look around a little more.”
“Is that so? Then where else…”
As expected, some of the facilities seemed particularly impressive.
‘It’s no wonder.’
The site of the Black Lion Knights is quite large, and there are quite a few facilities that stand out.
To be honest, it was a car that I was a little disappointed in, expressing indifference to the efforts of me and my subordinates to the extent of being too much.
When I answered in a feminine way, the princess’s piercingly blue eyes continued to stare at me.
I’m not used to dealing with women. Still, I wasn’t so insensitive that I couldn’t even recognize that signal.
‘Is something to come?’
Obviously he wants to be alone with me.
It was also something I was determined to do in the first place.
“Vice-captain. You can go in now. The scheduled schedule is all over, so I think it will be enough for me to guide you alone.”
“Yes. I understand. Then…”
The vice-captain immediately bowed to the princess and returned to the headquarters barracks with modest steps.
Since she hesitated for a moment at her inauguration, she has never vomited on my orders.
Also, it was fortunate that the meeting between the two women ended up with a good ending.
Although they argued with each other a little, judging from the princess’s facial expression, it didn’t seem like there was any ill feeling between the two.
‘Well, at the end it was also an atmosphere of reconciliation.’
To be honest, I was a little worried because the vice-captain showed an overly confident attitude in front of the princess.
It was absolutely unacceptable for her precious subordinate to be dragged away for blaspheming her royal family.
“Whoops…”
When the vice-captain was no longer visible from her sight, the princess bit her lips with a smile that seemed very refreshing.
“Did you say it was the Monument Plaza? The place where there was a lion statue that looked exactly like you. I want to see it one more time.”
“Yes. I’ll see you then.”
* * *
Monument Square.
It is a square, and it has a strong meaning as a kind of sanctuary, so it is a place where no one seldom steps unless there is an important event such as a memorial service or a launch ceremony.
In other words, it was the perfect place to have a meeting just the two of you.
According to the report of the commander of the 4th centurion, a feud had recently developed between a female knight and a servant under his command, and it was said that this was also the place for the two’s tryst.
Well, they said they liked each other, so in the end they didn’t give any heavy punishment other than light punishment for disorderly conduct.
Indeed, it was something that made the previous members of the Black Lion Knights shed tears up and down in the sky.
But when did the princess look at this place? After all, she is of the royal family, so she has a wider field of vision than the criminal.
Just like that, I was about to enter the very small artificial forest road leading to the monument square.
“Give me your hand.”
“Yes?”
She said something that made the princess feel very embarrassed.
“Coco, who grows in the front yard of the villa, is kind and gives it right away when asked for a hand, but doesn’t a person bigger than an orc understand that?”
“Wait. What now, Princess?
— Bumping!
Without a moment to say anything, I had no choice but to let the princess’s hand remain as it is, a fragile princess who could easily be subdued with just one finger move.
The appearance of the princess began to peek at my rugged and ugly-looking hands as if they were curious.
“You really have really big hands. I think they’ll be twice the size of mine. With these big, rough grips, I’ll hold you that night…”
“Princess. You’re playing a little too much.”
At that embarrassing act, I tried to stop it with a straight face, fearing that someone would see it, although it was unlikely.
“Hmph! Why? You hugged my body that night, covered my mouth, then put your nose in my hair and sniffed…”
At the words of the princess, I couldn’t say anything with my mouth tightly closed.
“Sorry. You can do as you like.”
“Whoops…”
It was a hand with nothing but scars and calluses.
I have always heard from my master that my hands are so ignorantly large that I will eat a lot of rice.
It was nothing more than an abomination that shouldn’t be shown to a person the size of an empire’s princess.
“Huh…”
But why is her princess putting her own white and soft hand on her palm and making her strange snort?
Are you even looking at me with a satisfied look?
I felt ashamed and felt like dying.
“Ah! Sir Wolfgang. Your face is red.”
“Yes? Could it be that…”
“Uhuhuhu… You’re not a steel monster after all. You’re a human being. You’re cute…”
You blushed in front of others?
Is this me?
I couldn’t believe it. The princess must be misunderstanding something.
The knights are all superhuman.
And superhumans can control their bodies to some extent to areas that ordinary people cannot reach. Even blood circulation is one of the easiest parts to control.
In addition, one of the things that should not be revealed on the battlefield is the change of emotions along with vital points. At least in such a trivial matter as this…
It seems that I am not in a position to accuse others of being dull.
The one-month break must have made myself a little rusty without even realizing it.
However, the story of the princess that followed made me wake up again.
“Sir Wolfgang. I’ve been thinking about it for a long time since that day, and I don’t think I’ll ever be able to let that night go unnoticed.”
It was because it didn’t seem like the time to be ashamed of trivial things.
“It’s just a shame. What am I supposed to do with this great sin?”
“Extremely respectful. I must have told you not to use it? Rather speak plain language.”
“Sorry.”
The words of the imperial family had great power in themselves.
If the princess felt ashamed of what happened that day and wants to execute me, then I should go to the scaffold without trial.
For the people of the empire, the lineage of the imperial family is what exerts such absolute power.
Because those with heavenly blood have the right to dispose of the earth creepers at will.
“I’ve been thinking a lot about what to do with you. My head still heats up when I think about what happened that day. My stomach thumps and thumps. How could that be?”
“…”
“Sir Wolfgang. I don’t think you ever thought you’d be able to get over it, right?”
“Yes. I am. I will gladly accept any punishment.”
“Hmm. There are so many things I want to do with you…”
Gulp.
I couldn’t help but swallow my saliva from the intense tension.
The right of immunity does not apply to crimes committed against the imperial family.
My booty and bounty, even the three indulgences bestowed by the imperial family, were nothing more than scraps of trash.
‘Is my life over now?’
I wonder if the ominous feeling I felt earlier, that is, the warning of my sixth sense, was to inform me of the current event in advance.
Now that the war is over, there are no old subordinates to take responsibility for their lives, and there is no lingering attachment to the family or position.
But. I just feel sorry for the members of the Black Lion Knights who have finally started following me properly.
What am I going to be now
After all, that night was just unlucky, but it wasn’t entirely my fault anyway.
That’s why I don’t feel resentment. Even if it’s unfair, I don’t think of resisting with force. Obviously, he committed a sin that could not be solved with indulgences.
Resisting by force against a subject who committed such a serious crime is something only a bully would do.
Power exists to defeat enemies on the battlefield, to suppress injustice, and to protect the weak, not to wield it freely.
Thinking of that, while slowly preparing her mind, the princess finally opened her lips.
Is it torture? Is it an execution? Or, extermination?
Surprisingly, neither of the three.
“First of all, hold your hand straight. So that I can properly feel your body temperature. As if you are hugging me tightly.”
“Yes?”
I was completely dazed by the completely unexpected flow, but for now, I followed the princess’s instructions.
“Whoa. What are you so surprised about?
I don’t think the purpose is to give numbers. What is your intention?
—Kokok
“Ah… I’m already feeling a little better. Let’s walk together like this.”
“…I will follow orders.”
What the hell does the princess want to do?
“Heungheung~ There’s no one around. There’s no female cat. It’s just the two of us. It’s perfect.”
Judging from the fact that he even hummed, it seemed that he wasn’t feeling anger or displeasure, so it was fortunate among all his misfortunes.
As she walked while holding onto the hand of the princess with her mind half confused.
Suddenly, her and my footsteps reached her destination, the Monument Square.
“This is good enough. You can see it well if you turn your back to the sunlight.”
Looking at her huge black marble statue of a black lion from a distance, the princess turned behind her and held the hem of her skirt with both of her hands, she said.
I still have no idea what I want.
“Because I couldn’t even enjoy my hobbies because of you, I already had a lot of stress.”
“Sorry.”
To be honest, even the flow of the conversation is a bit difficult to follow.
What the hell am I going through?
“Again, again, sorry. You’ll have to hold back a little from now on. That’s not your role.”
“…”
“Now, then, the first role… Let’s do it as a spectator.”
The princess’s ensuing actions made me unable to act or even think properly.
This moment I’m experiencing right now, what the hell is this look I’m seeing right now?
Are you having a midsummer night’s dream that you’ve only heard about?
“Ha, ha… Nu, don’t look away.”
The princess of the empire.
Alicia von Diana Solaris.
To a man whose strange relationship lasted only for one night was all he needed, and now a man who has finally overcome the wounds of war and is looking for a new relationship.
Her white skirt was rolled up wide by herself.
She was completely in heat and shed a clear, sticky liquid, revealing her most precious part as a woman.
