Princess Who Hides Her Fandom

The day the crack opened again.

According to the reports of the members of the Black Knights who were deployed at the time, the monsters were much stronger and bigger than before.

If Kylo Gray hadn’t been there, the battle probably wouldn’t have ended easily.

A stronger and bigger monster than in the past…It was terrifying to even imagine.

Perhaps the second war would have ended in defeat.

Even during the last war, humans had to endure enormous damage.

Many knights and soldiers died.

When I think of the horrors of that time, I still feel dizzy.

But the second war ended before it even started.

All of this would have been impossible without Agnes’ sacrifice.

I wanted to silence people who were talking about things without knowing anything about it.

“People…are so cold-hearted.”

At that time, Hugo Rodian, who was standing next to him, spoke.

Sirius said with his amused snort.

“Didn’t you also come forward and criticize the princess at one point?”

“…I can’t deny it.”

He tried to criticize him as much as he could, but when Hugo easily agreed, Sirius was left with nothing to say.

At that time, Joshua, who was still between the two people, muttered.

“I know, right…Everyone is so great.”

This time, Hugo furrowed his brows at Joshua’s words. Joshua was also one of the people who hated the princess more than anyone else.

Joshua drank the strong champagne that made him feel sick.

He remembered the image of the princess trembling, saying that she didn’t want to meet Raymond Spencer one day.

That was the first time he realized that Princess Agnes was a young and fragile woman.

But how did you make that decision?

She looked like a coward who trembled because she didn’t want to run into anyone…How could she give her life to save the world?

This peace was obtained at the cost of someone’s life.

So, it was normal for people to feel grateful to the princess. It was impossible to criticize it like that.

Joshua clenched his fists and twitched his lips.

Then, as if his chest was constricted, he untied his cravat and asked.

“Anyway, what happened to the leader? Is it possible for him to return?”

“…….”

Sirius and Hugo’s complexions darkened at those words.

After the death of Princess Agnes, Raymond Spencer hasn’t yet returned to his position as Leader.

“There were scary rumors going around…Our leader can’t do that, can he? he wasn’t on good terms with the princess anyway…”

Joshua muttered as if he didn’t understand.

In fact, rumors surrounding Raymond were plentiful.

Some say he lost consciousness and just slept as if he were dead, while others said he committed suicide by harming himself.

Sirius, who knew the truth, didn’t bother to say anything.

Both rumors were true.

Raymond attempted to kill himself but failed.

Since then, the Duke of Spencer has once again used the drugs for fear of his son doing something like that.

It was a deeply soothing medicine.

Since he felt like he was going to die when he woke up, he had no choice but to choose this method.

Sirius sighed deeply.

Even though they were dressed in dark clothes, the nobles laughed and talked.

One person’s death seemed to be forgotten like that.

Sirius felt very bitter about that fact.

Hugo and Joshua, who were standing next to each other, also felt similar emotions.

A quiet village in the northern part of the empire.

The children who were playing at the edge of the forest noticed someone and started shaking.

“Brother. Wasn’t that person doing that over there yesterday too?”

“Hey, don’t point fingers! Dad told me not to talk to people I don’t know!”

“But our world is no longer a dangerous world.”

The young girl said innocently.

The boy standing next to her twitched his lips as if he was dissatisfied.

“It’s not a dangerous world! The debt collectors who come to our house right now are such scary guys, you idiot!”

“Chii….”

“Just pick up the fruit!”

“You always say things to me!”

“Why don’t you be quiet?”

The girl picked up her fruit again, grunting and glaring at her brother.

However, her curiosity kept turning to the man whose identity she didn’t know.

The man standing blankly in front of the large tree was really big and intimidating.

The expression on his face was somewhat scary, but… Maybe it was because he was wearing a knight’s uniform, but somehow I didn’t feel like a bad person.

The knights in fairy tales were all wonderful and just people.

So that person probably isn’t a bad person either.

To begin with, this village was a rural area, so it was rare to see people wearing knightly uniforms like that.

When I had the chance to see it, I had to do it to my heart’s content. When will we see a knight like that again in this rural village?

The girl glanced at the man for a while and then heard a shout from her brother again.

It happened that night.

A girl who had been innocently picking berries during the day ran into the forest crying.

The child’s eyes were filled with tears, desperately searching for someone in the darkness.

‘There is…!’

The knight was still there under the big tree. The child ran straight away without fear.

She looked closer and saw that the man was bigger and scarier than she thought. But the child had no time to hesitate.

“Hey, knight! Please help me, ugh… Hey, you’re a knight, right? m, my dad…Hey, please save my dad!”

“……”

The man who had been staring blankly at the tree returned his gaze.

A young girl was standing at her feet and crying.

“help! P, please help me…tho… Those scary men, my dad, my brother…Ugh.”

The man’s expression was cold even as he watched the child cry miserably.

“Please, please help me! okay? My dad might be dead…!”

It had nothing to do with her whether someone died or not.

The most important person in his life has already died, so what is the point of knowing about the deaths of the others?

For the second day he stood under this tree.

It was the tree whose petals once fell on her face in the imperial castle.

It seemed like it was time to leave.

“……”

However, as he tried to ignore the child and move on, his steps stopped.

As the wind blew, flower petals fluttered.

I heard an auditory hallucination.

It’s okay if every day isn’t as beautiful as a fairy tale.

Sometimes it rains, sometimes I feel sad, depressed, and lonely. Nevertheless, I hope you can live a little longer in this beautiful world.

Although these were words I had never actually heard in her voice, they rang in my ears.

Clear and warm…A voice I miss.

What did the world look like through her eyes?

Agnes, what makes you feel so beautiful?

Kylo, you were the most precious thing I ever had.

What did she see in a guy like me that made her choose to die instead?

…At least it wouldn’t have looked like this.

Kylo gestured to the crying child.

“Guide me.”

“…Huh, really?”

The child, who finally realized what the man said, got up and pointed to one side.

Hope came flooding back.

The man was a knight with a sword strapped to his waist. At least you won’t be defeated by those scary debt collectors.

Even in fairy tales, the knights were very strong.

The child held onto the end of the knight’s sleeve and began to guide him in case he ran away.

After that day, a rumor began to circulate from a small northern rural town.

There was a rumor that a wandering knight was going around rescuing people in danger.
