Princess Who Hides Her Fandom

The place located far south of the capital was a territory owned by the imperial castle.

Normally it would have taken more than a week, but since there was an intermediate gate, it was scheduled to arrive in two days.

Moreover, the cart was also mechanical, so it was not a difficult journey.

But the soldiers’ expressions were not good.

Why did I end up accompanying the Black Knights…Since they were soldiers who didn’t belong to the Knights to begin with, they could not hide their dissatisfaction.

It wasn’t just that the Black Knights were a group of crazy people.

This was because this procession included a princess who was a walking time bomb.

“It’s unlucky, why did we get caught…”

“That’s right.”

The soldiers murmured as they glanced at the princess riding a white horse in front of them.

No matter how long the journey may be, it will be a rough journey for the princess who grew up in the imperial castle all her life.

“They will pour out all their evil intentions on us.”

“Lord Gray is also a person who treats us like bugs, and he will treat us even more, I guess.”

The soldiers expected that they would have to bear the brunt of the princess’s misdeeds, and their morale were broken from the start.

But their worries were unfounded.

Agnes didn’t frown even once until the moment she arrived at the first campsite.

She had a bright expression on her face the whole time, without a single complaint, like someone on a spring outing.

‘The best picnic with my favorite.’

The sun was warm, the wind was cool, and the air was clear.

Agnes enjoyed the journey, watching Kylo’s hair blowing in the wind. There was no other superb view.

Kylo, who was riding ahead, noticed the dark look of the soldiers and glanced at Agnes.

Agnes had a bright expression on her face, not knowing who was causing the soldiers to act like that.

Kylo didn’t like that.

Does the princess think she’s going on a picnic somewhere now?

Well, since she grew up in a safe castle all her life and never experienced anything dangerous, it would just be like an outing.

Kylo recalled the look in Raymond Spencer’s eyes that he had encountered before leaving the Imperial Castle.

‘Insolent bastard.’

If i think about it, Raymond Spencer and the princess were of the same grade.

The gaze that treats oneself as lowly due to one’s superior status, and the disregard and contempt that is given as if it is natural.

For a moment, I felt sorry for the princess who had been verbally abused by Raymond because of me.

When I saw the face of the princess who was going to enjoy flower viewing, I couldn’t suppress the feeling of wanting to pour cold water on her.

So Kylo spoke in a serious tone.

“This mission is going to be quite difficult. The monsters we encountered last time will come out in droves.”

“Is that so?”

Since she was covered in the blood of monster last time, the princess must still have some fear left in her.

However, even though he brought up the story of the monster as if he was deliberately trying to scare her, Agnes’ expression was bright.

“Then I guess I’ll have to stay close to the leader to avoid danger.”

“…….”

As the unexpected words came out of Agnes’ mouth, Kylo was speechless.

It was definitely an unspoken warning to take care of yourself and avoid danger like last time.

She is, after all, a woman who is not to be taken lightly.

Kylo cursed under his breath, making himself tense up.

What the princess said was right. On the day when even a single hair of the princess is injured during this mission…The emperor won’t leave me alone.

‘This is no different from childcare.’

He suddenly felt like he had taken on a problematic child.

Kylo’s head was already aching at how much Agnes would complain at the camp.

The bed will be uncomfortable and the food will be poor. Maybe she would burst into tears saying that bugs were coming out.

The first campsite was at the beginning of the mountain range after passing the middle gate.

The mountain range was high and rugged, so we had to camp in front of the forest area today, and camp on the way down through the mountain range tomorrow.

Since it was a granary area with flat land behind it, it was easy to reach the destination.

While the soldiers divided up into groups to search the surrounding area and set up tents for the camp, Anna and Victor skillfully brought in firewood and started a fire.

Agnes glanced around to see if there was anything else to do. No one told her what to do.

At times like this, she had to move wisely. She was a princess and she couldn’t avoid doing anything. Her current status is that of a member of the Knights Templar.

Kylo mounted his horse and went out to search the surrounding area with his soldiers. He wanted to check if there were any dangerous elements.

Agnes glanced around, then picked up the empty bucket and headed towards the stream where horses were quenching their thirst.

Originally, the meals at the campsite were poor. Beef jerky and soup were a sumptuous meal, and if you could find game nearby, you were lucky.

However, Agnes wanted to have a nice meal because it felt like she was going camping for the first time in her life.

So he looked around the stream to see if there was any fish to grill. Unfortunately, there were no fish. however…

“Uh?”

Agnes noticed something by the clear stream and looked around.

Nearby, only a few soldiers were seen giving water to horses.

Agnes approached them and asked in a friendly way:

“Hey, isn’t that edible?”

“What?”

When the princess spoke to her, the soldier became as frozen as ice and was embarrassed.

It wasn’t pointed out directly, but the soldier behind him, who was less embarrassed, checked the direction Agnes pointed.

“You can eat it….”

At the soldier’s words, Agnes entered the stream without hesitation.

Since the boots are waterproof, they don’t get wet or heavy.

“Woah, Her Royal Highness…?”

The soldiers were so shocked that they had no time to stop her. Agnes splashed into the stream, grabbed something without hesitation, and lifted it up.

It was a freshwater lobster.

There wasn’t even just one. Agnes began scooping up as many crayfish as she could see into the bucket she had brought.

“What is this?”

Kylo, who returned after searching the surroundings, couldn’t hide his embarrassment.

The surroundings were already dark, but the area around the campsite was brightly lit with the lights we had prepared.

And around the fire, soldiers and knights were gathered together and sitting.

What confused him was the food they were all eating together.

Originally, the camping food to be prepared today was beef jerky and soup. But what is this like now?

Why are we all eating the crawfish dish with such excited expressions?

“Leader. Come and eat. It’s very delicious.”

Victor Craven said, his mouth covered in sauce.

And the princess sitting next to him was also offering him her red crayfish leg.

Kylo felt her head pounding.

Did the princess complain about her food and the soldiers saved it?

Does the princess really think we are on a picnic?

Just as he was about to become angry, one of the soldiers spoke in a loud voice.

“Thanks to the princess, I am able to feast like this, and thank you! This is my first time eating food like this at a campsite!”

“In the first place, when you go out, you have to eat more heartily.”

Since when did she become so friendly, the princess conversed with the soldiers without hesitation?

Kylo didn’t know where to start to criticize her and was displeased with everything, but he held back because it was better to be cheerful than to have her morale lowered.

In fact, the soldiers’ expressions looked more joyful, as if they were on a picnic, rather than fearful of the difficult journey ahead.

Victor held out a well-cooked lobster leg to Kylo, who had given up on pointing it out and sat down.

“Eat. leader.”

“…….”

Kylo suddenly accepted it and took a bite.

The crawfish dish, soaked in sweet and salty seasoning, was so delicious that it was hard to believe it was made on the spot.

Yes, tomorrow’s journey will be quite difficult, so the soldiers had better eat well.

Kylo gave up on bothersome thoughts and started eating.

The first night at the campsite passed without incident.

The soldiers were worried that the princess might be picky, but they were unfounded.

Although it may have been uncomfortable because it was a hard floor, Agnes fell asleep as soon as she lay down on the floor.

Moreover, I wasn’t surprised at all when I woke up at dawn and found bugs.

She just yawned, took out the wand in her arms, and waved it around.

In fact, he approached the soldier, who was startled by the appearance of a large bug and screamed, and indifferently caught the bug.

Then Agnes trudged to the stream.

After washing her face with clean stream water, he dried herself with magic and purified her body.

Then she became soft and refreshed, as if she had just taken a bath.

I wish I had been able to use this magic the last time I got covered in monster blood, but I was too embarrassed to do it that time.

After tying her hair neatly, Agnes walked towards Kylo’s barracks.

At that moment, I saw Kylo coming out of the barracks.

‘It’s Kylo!’

Agnes approached him, putting on the prettiest expression she could.

If Damian had seen it, he would have been shocked and thought it was pretentious.
