Princess Who Hides Her Fandom

For the people of the empire who deeply loved the royal family, being a knight for the royal family was a very honorable thing.

That was why, among the four major knights’ orders comprised only of young knights, the White Knights held the most honorable position.

“But his status is….”

Agnes shook her head at the emperor’s words.

“I know what my father is worried about. However, the nobles’ reaction would be more favorable than giving him a title.”

“…Is it?”

“Yes. Everyone knows that Lord Gray saved my life many times.”

“Yes, but….”

When the emperor’s reaction seemed lukewarm, Agnes immediately spoke up as if she had expected this to happen.

“Father. I also heard about the recent incident that occurred in the Siloch territory.”

When the unexpected story was mentioned, the eyebrows of the emperor and crown prince furrowed.

When people who don’t know anything hear this, they might ask, ‘What does this have to do with the affairs of the Siloch Territory?’

The emperor and crown prince, who were in the position of leaders, naturally knew this.

The two events are by no means unrelated.

“I heard that there has been a lot of rain recently in the Siloch territory. At that time, a commoner saved a village from being flooded.”

“……”

“Even though he heard about the incident, Lord Siloch didn’t give any reward. In fact, he caught the commoners who talked about it and punished them.”

“Hmm…”

“When Father heard what happened, he became very angry and punished Lord Siloch. I heard that all of the people were impressed by your words when you said that if he makes a contribution, he should be recognized regardless of his status.”

“……”

Agnes smiled slightly and continued his words.

“It will be a good example. It will be a good example that you can be rewarded for your loyalty regardless of your status.”

The two had nothing to say.

It was definitely an opportunity to avoid backlash from the nobles and be seen as a good example.

If you don’t do as Agnes says…

Emperor Alexander will be a terrible emperor with double standards.

If Damian also opposes this, he will become a bad successor who, unlike his father, ignores those who have contributed.

“Then I understand that you have given permission.”

Agnes said with a grin.

Just as the Emperor was about to nod his head, Damien raised his hand.

“For a moment.”

“……”

As Agnes glared, Damian spoke with sharp eyes.

“Agnes, I didn’t know you were this thoughtful.”

“……”

“Father, I think the same as Agnes. Now that I hear it, it really makes sense. It is right to do as Agnes wishes.”

“…Do you really think so?”

When the emperor asked in surprise, Damian nodded his head and smiled.

“Yes. But it is only right that Sir Raymond Spencer also be given the opportunity to do so.”

“What do you mean?”

“As many of you know, Agnes recently had an accident outside the castle. Isn’t it Raymond Spencer who quickly moved Agnes to the imperial castle and saved her life?”

“……”

Agnes’ expression became depressed.

It’s just that Raymond Spencer witnessed the accident while darkly stalking him.

Whether she moved to the imperial castle or not, she would have come back to life.

But she couldn’t tell the truth.

Who would believe that she went to heaven and negotiated with God?

Damian continued speaking confidently.

“So, to be fair, I think it would be better to appoint both of them as Agnes’ guards. You just have to decide on a day.”

“……”

“Since both of them have made contributions, it is right to appoint them together as bodyguards regardless of their status. As Agnes said, it will remain as a good example for everyone.”

Agnes suppressed the urge to retort.

She had to be careful about what she said because if she opened her mouth for no reason, her contradictory intentions might be revealed.

Damien suggested.

“To be fair, I think it would be a good idea to have Raymond Spencer take 4 out of the 7 days and Lord Gray take 3 days.”

“Wait a minute. Brother, if you say it’s fair, why is it 4 days for Lord Spencer?”

When Agnes asked with a smile, Damian also smiled and answered.

“Agnes, wasn’t it Sir Raymond Spencer who saved you in your most recent accident? So, we should give it more weight.”

When Agnes was about to refute, Damian stopped her with a sigh.

“Oh! And Agnes. I have heard that Lord Gray saved you several times, but I have never heard the details.”

“……”

“And it’s true that I saved you on the first mission, but wasn’t it because Lord Gray made a mistake? I heard that from Lord Spencer at the time.”

Agnes pursed his lips.

‘Ah… What should I do with this picky bastard?’

But she had her last remaining weapon.

Agnes sighed softly and opened her mouth with a sad expression.

“But, brother… As I said, just looking at Sir Spencer’s face gives me a headache and makes me suffocate.”

“……”

Agnes frowned at him, placing her palm near his heart.

“Here… It hurts like it’s so tight here…I can’t bear it, brother….”

“……”

As expected, Damian was greatly embarrassed.

Agnes trembled on his shoulders, looking miserable.

“I don’t know why my heart is like this…People say Lord Spencer hurt me so much that I erased him from my memory… lIs that why?”

“What? Who on earth would say something like that… !”

“If not…Why on earth am I doing this, brother? How on earth did he hurt me? Is my heart hurting this much?”

Agnes cried pitifully, as if she would drop her tears at any moment.

Damian also knew that nobles made such a fuss. And I couldn’t deny that the content was also not true.

Damian had nothing to say so he was silent for a moment.

Agnes looked very pitiful, as if she was about to burst into tears at any moment.

But at the same time, it was somehow strangely heinous.

Agnes said.

“And…There is nothing wrong with what you said, but I still have a bigger debt to pay to Lord Gray.”

“A debt of the heart?”

“Do you remember that I insulted him in the past? I think I should take this opportunity to apologize for what happened and show the nobles that I have changed.”

“……”

“If you care about my reputation, please do as I want, brother.”

This too was not wrong. Damian muttered as he found himself at a dead end.

“Then what should we do?”

“I would like Lord Spencer to be my escort for only two days out of seven.”

Agnes blinked as if she was about to cry, but spoke firmly.

Damian thought about those words for a moment.

2 days out of 7…Isn’t that too little?

But Agnes couldn’t force her to see Raymond Spencer because it broke her heart.

For now, it was best to just accept this.

‘It’s not easy…’

Unlike before, dealing with Agnes was quite tiring.

When Damian nodded, the negotiation was finally completed.

It was a negotiation that was both disappointing and satisfying for the two.

But not for Emperor Alexander.

‘Guys. Nothing this father wanted came true….’

The Emperor’s wish to appoint Sir Clifford as his bodyguard was completely excluded from this conversation.

The Emperor didn’t want Raymond Spencer or Kylo Gray, but…I couldn’t bear to say anything.

‘I wonder if they are from the same boat….’
