Meanwhile, Sirius Melville continued to stand there in great shock.
After a while, he put his cigarette in his mouth with trembling hands.
He lit it, inhaled and exhaled the smoke, and only then did his head roll back normally.
‘I never thought Princess Agnes would make that kind of expression….’
The Princess Agnes he knows is…She was truly an asshole.
She’s been like that since she was little.
Because he was Crown Prince Damian’s friend, Sirius often visited the castle from a very young age.
During social gatherings when he was not at the estate, he almost spent time at the imperial palace.
So, he was one of the people who watched young Agnes closely.
Agnes…She was truly unique from the very beginning.
She was arrogant, authoritarian, selfish, and acted viciously when her wishes weren’t achieved.
Young Sirius hated the princess’s tinkling noise and wanted to stop starting her engine.
But at some point, he felt sorry for her.
The princess’s misbehavior was a whining begging for attention and affection.
Agnes lost her mother at a very young age, followed by the loss of her nanny.
What Agnes is left with is her kind but busy father and cold brother.
Agnes must have been quite lonely during that time.
Agnes’ expression from earlier kept appearing in Sirius’ mind.
It was a vulnerable side of Agnes that I had never imagined before.
“Raymond bastard, this is really too much.”
I don’t know what the hell he was talking about, but in Sirius’ mind, it was an established fact that Raymond had hurled mean things at the princess.
‘Who would have thought that the leader, who was thought to uphold chivalry better than anyone else, would do that….’
Of course, Princess Agnes had a lot of trouble with the leader…..
‘But can’t you be a little more lenient? She’s your friend’s younger sister!’
Just as the princess was his friend’s younger sister, she was the same to Raymond. He too had been a friend of the crown prince since childhood.
Sirius threw the burned-out cigarette on the floor and extinguished it by rubbing it with his foot.
Now there is a reason to stop seeing more people who gossip about the princess.
Isn’t there a sense of responsibility as her brother’s friend?
‘Wait a minute, but the day the leader verbally abused the princess….’
Now that I think about it, it was the day when i told the leader to go to the patrol area where the princess had left.
therefore…..
‘Uh? for a moment. In the end, this is all because of me, right?’
thud.
The guilt he had never felt, even when he was cheating, became a big rock and weighed him down.
***
A few days later.
Agnes was enjoying lunch alone with Emperor Alexander.
The emperor exuded a fearsome force like a tiger in front of his ministers, but when he was having a meal alone with his daughter, he was busy paying attention to her.
“Agnes, is everything okay?”
The emperor, who had been watching the whole meal, asked.
The social scene has been quiet since the rumor that the Spencer family bastard hurt her daughter.
Agnes, who always caused a stir in social circles, was showing a noticeably calm demeanor.
He did hear a rough report through his subordinate.
Agnes was leading a regular life, participating in knight training without missing a day.
So he was more suspicious.
“Yes, nothing is wrong.”
Agnes answered in a cheerful voice.
“Hmm, you’re leaving on a mission tomorrow?”
the emperor asked, noting her daughter’s complexion.
Agnes’ eyes sparkled at the word mission.
“Yes.”
Finally. Finally…!
Agnes laughed to herself.
Yes. A new mission was finally given.
It was a mission to go with Kylo.
Unfortunately, it is not just the two of us, but other members of the Dark Knights and soldiers are also on this mission…Still, it was good.
Agnes found it difficult to hide her excitement, like a child about to go on a picnic.
“…You look happy?”
The emperor asked with a puzzled expression. Agnes nodded without needing to hide it.
“Yes, because I am finally performing my proper duties as a member of the Dark Knights.”
“…….”
The emperor’s eyes narrowed at the incongruously sincere answer.
There doesn’t seem to be any strange plan…..
Is the princess really starting to show her maturity as the Chamberlain said?
When Emperor Alexander thought that, the tip of his nose became cold. When did that little girl grow up like this?
Anyway, his decision was right.
Entrusting his daughter to Kylo Gray, who was infamous during the war, was the best choice.
He was definitely talented enough to control my daughter.
However, I was also worried that the rough bastard might make the training too hard.
‘What should I do with that baby squirrel?’
The emperor looked pitifully at Agnes, who was eating innocently.
If readers of the original had seen this scene, they would have left comments like this.
[It’s not a baby squirrel, it’s a demon squirrel, mister…]
***
The morning of leaving for the mission dawned.
Agnes woke up early in the morning, put on her uniform and got ready.
I was so excited last night that I couldn’t sleep well.
A 4-day, 3-night trip with my favorite. How can i sleep properly?
It was even the day I met Kylo again after almost two weeks. Over the past two weeks, Agnes has almost become skinny.
Goods were definitely needed. I was too complacent trying to adapt to this world. Even when she couldn’t meet Kylo, she desperately needed photos of her to show off.
So for this trip, Agnes first brought a mini camera.
I can’t tell you how grateful I am for the worldview that combines steampunk, fantasy, and modern elements.
Note : Steampunk, a genre of science fiction that has a historical setting and typically features steam-powered machinery rather than advanced technology.
Cameras were truly like salt to geeks.
After carefully preparing her supplies, Agnes headed to the knights’ building.
Coincidentally, the White Coat Knights were also leaving for a new mission today, and their cart could be seen in front of the building.
‘Why are you carrying it around like this? Are you going camping? Is the mission a joke?’
In disapproval, Agnes glanced at the White Knights’ cart with a sour expression.
This mission takes you to one of the villages most affected by the war.
The role of the knights was not much different from the last time Agnes searched a small village.
However, this time the village was a little bigger and we had to stop by the shelter where the residents were taking refuge.
The main tasks were to comfort the frightened residents at the shelter, treat those who were sick, and check to ensure that the restoration project was progressing smoothly.
They also had to enter the villages they were controlling, confirm their safety, and return the residents safely.
Due to its location, the village was an area that served as a temporary home for monsters. As such, the probability that there were hidden monsters remaining was very high.
Because the village is quite large, the entire knights and soldiers are leaving together.
As the land of the empire was large, there were quite a few such districts, with the White Knights occupying the capital, and the Blue Knights and Red Knights covering the remaining districts.
And the area furthest from the capital was handled by the Dark Knights.
Agnes was honestly a bit dumbfounded.
‘Even in war, you were pushed to the front as a cannon fodder, and now you are making people suffer even in the most distant areas?’
It was clearly the decision of Raymond Spencer, the leader of the White Knights, who oversees the four major knights.
Agnes looked around, cursing Raymond in her mind. She was looking for Kylo.
‘It’s over there!’
Agnes’ eyes sparkled as she spotted Kylo in the distance.
How long has it been since we last met…Her heart ached as if she had met her lost first love.
But Agnes’ expression immediately hardened.
This was because her eyes met Raymond, who was behind Kylo.
Agnes glared at him with frozen eyes, as if wondering when he had ever sparkled.
However, perhaps because she was born with bright eyes, Raymond’s eyes had a different meaning than a glare.
‘… Also.’
Raymond frowned and turned his head as he looked at her with a deep desire in his eyes.
After that incident, the princess never really appeared in front of him and bothered him.
But she tormented him in other ways.
Because of the rumors spread by Agnes, Raymond had to explain things to everyone he met.
Princess Agnes must have been researching a new way to get him into her hands.
The intention is to diminish Raymond’s value by causing him to fall into scandal. It was truly her way.
“Let’s hurry to leave.”
Raymond ordered a quick departure, as if running away from Agnes.
Subsequently, the Black Knights also departed for their destination, SP-3 area.
