Although she was treated as crazy, she was able to quickly overcome the misunderstanding thanks to her competent doctor.
A few days passed like that.
Agnes, who became a prospective mage for the Black Knights, was enjoying a leisurely life.
Today she was with his maid.
“The Black Knights, how could Your Majesty make such a decision…!”
One of Agnes’ maids, Daisy, the famous daughter of the Duke of Lothian, was outraged.
Daisy also had magical talents, but she did not belong to the Order.
Only one person from each family could enter the 4th Knights’ Order, which trains young knights, because Daisy’s older brother was already a member of the White Knights.
Rather than dividing them by gender, they were usually admitted into the knights’ order based on ability or order of succession.
Daisy’s eldest brother was a scholar, so her younger brother, who received a knighthood first, entered the White Knights Order.
Anyway, Daisy was a pretty good maid.
She had a very bright and positive personality, so she tended to ignore Agnes’ vicious behavior.
Maybe that’s why she was also Agnes’ favorite maid.
However, because she was a bit obtuse, she seemed to be secretly ostracized by the other maids.
“The Black Knights are where Cleo Gray is the leader! I heard His Majesty even called you and told you to be disciplined?”
Daisy started talking without notice.
It was like that. The emperor seemed to want to somehow revive Agnes’ fallen reputation.
So he called Cleo, the leader of the Black Knights, and gave him a strict order.
“Now Princess Agnes is a mage belonging to the Black Knights. Since she has become your subordinate, you should never give the princess any preferential treatment. I orders you to treat Agnes only as a Black Knights mage, not as a princess, as long as she is wearing a mage uniform. Keep this in mind.”
It seemed like the rumor had already spread throughout social circles.
“The ladies are talking about how His Majesty the Emperor has finally taken possession of the Princess. What now? Cleo Gray, that eccentric man will treat the princess badly!”
Agnes was troubled for a moment by Daisy’s words.
Yes, Cleo disapproves of me, so he will definitely treat me badly.
‘Plus, they even slapped me on the cheek….’
Isn’t this a joke and I’m going to be persecuted?
My Favorite character is bothering me…
It’s not my type of thing, so it’s a bit awkward…Maybe it’s not that bad?
But i couldn’t continue to be bullied.
Since things have come to this, we have no choice but to somehow improve the relationship.
Should we just say that she suffered from amnesia while suffering from death due to a cold?
If you pretend not to remember that I slapped him in the face..
Of course no one will believe it.
“But princess, I heard you were so sick that you were on the verge of death, and you look really gaunt. I guess your cold was really bad.”
Daisy said worriedly, lowering her eyebrows.
In fact, only half of the people believed that Agnes was so sick that she was on the verge of death.
Those who thought it was real firmly believed that Agnes was in pain because she was punished by God for talking nonsense.
On the other hand, people who noticed the lie naturally thought that the emperor had put up a shield.
Daisy was a complete believer.
‘If it were Daisy, she would believe me even if I lied and said I had amnesia…’
Anyway, the constant chatter next to me gave me a headache. I needed time alone to think.
“Well, do you really have to kill me? Anyway, I have a headache, so please stop today, Daisy.”
“Yes, princess. Then take care of yourself and call me again.”
Daisy bowed politely and left.
Agnes, left alone, flopped down on the bed and thought.
From a few days on, she will begin carrying out her duties as a member of the Black Knights.
Well, it’s not a big mission, but…
Now the people of the empire were intoxicated with the joy of winning the war against the devil.
All that was left was to return to daily life.
A saint purifies people who have been demonized, and healers heal people with incurable diseases.
Everyone was filled with hope that they could return to their peaceful daily lives, but unfortunately, the peace was short-lived.
‘In half a year, the fissures of hell will appear again in the eastern region.’
At that time, enormous casualties occur.
All the people of the empire believed that the devil had disappeared, and then they were stabbed in the back.
‘If possible, I will try to stop it.’
The idea is to prevent the damage in advance and credit it to Cleo.
‘Uh? Isn’t this the perfect plan?’
Honestly, Cleo needed to be a little greater.
Even more so than Raymond, whom everyone in the empire praises as a hero.
Agnes’ eyes lit up.
It was the look in the eyes of a truly vicious individual fan who only thought of Cleo.
It seemed impossible to believe that she was the one who had slapped Cleo in the face not long ago.
***
Latium Palace Crystal Hall.
After the war ended, festivals were taking place every day throughout the empire.
It was the same in the imperial palace.
Nobles gathered at the imperial palace banquet hall every weekend to enjoy victory in war and peace.
And at a time when the nobles were slowly becoming accustomed to peace, the most talked-about topic in social circles recently was Princess Agnes.
The fact that Princess Agnes, also known as ‘Winchester’s time bomb,’ had become a mage belonging to the Black Knights caused a huge stir.
As the emperor expected, some nobles’ anger toward the princess was considerably alleviated by that fact itself.
“Anyway, I think His Majesty’s behavior is a bit excessive. How could the Black Knights have the royal family member…?”
“Yes, of course. The person who loved dancing so much must have been seriously ill when she saw that she couldn’t even touch her nose.”
“If the princess continues to remain secluded and stubborn, His Majesty will eventually withdraw this decision.”
“I guess so. Would she accept that with your noble pride? But even though she’s still a young girl, it was too much.”
“She’s so honest, but She isn’t a bad person….”
However, unlike those who held this opinion, most people were relieved and thought it looked good.
“His Majesty made a very wise decision this time. How long will I have to tolerate this evil behavior? Our nobles are not stupid. Besides, she’s not just a young lady anymore.”
“That’s right. If you think about it, isn’t this the first time that a member of the royal family has been expelled from the White Knights?”
“That’s right! Expulsion is the perfect word. She is a first in many ways.”
“She said her pain is all healed now, so why won’t she come to the ball? It was so embarrassing that she couldn’t even lift her face. Or maybe her face was a mess of tears.”
“She needs to see for herself that the beauty she was so confident in has been ruined.”
“Even if it were me, I don’t think I could walk around with my face up because I was embarrassed. Wow, such a person is a member of the royal family…Where is this kind of nuisance even for His Majesty the Crown Prince?”
“I know, right. She even hated the saint and kept her in check…Now she will never be able to mess around with her mouth.”
Most people’s reaction was like this. they were the type of person who wished for the princess to be further humiliated.
“Anyway, people really like to talk about other people.”
A man who was listening to the nobles’ backstory clicked his tongue in a low tone.
A tall handsome man with pale yellow blond hair.
He was Sirius Melville, a member of the White Knights and the eldest son of the Marquis Melville.
‘No matter how much the princess has crossed her line, isn’t it a bit problematic for everyone to openly enjoy her misfortune like this?’
Sirius Melville looked at the nobles who were excitedly talking about others with a disdainful gaze.
At that time, Hugo Rodian, who was standing next to him, spoke in a low voice.
“There’s nothing seriously wrong with that, right? It’s not even a day or two that nobles talk about other people.”
Sirius twisted the corner of his mouth at Hugo’s words.
Even the quiet Hugo seemed to be itching to hear about this incident.
‘Well, it’s worth it.’
Hugo Rodian has been in love with a saint for quite some time.
As much as his loving heart was deep, Princess Agnes, who hated the saint, must have felt like a thorn in his eyes.
“I think the same as Lord Lothian. You didn’t directly cause harm, and the princess has to endure the fact that people are talking about her.”
It was Joshua who spoke in a sharp tone.
He also didn’t like the princess very much.
In the first place, there was no one in the White Knights who had a friendly heart towards the princess like these people.
