Chapter 32
29. The outward princess is angry,
Between glances.
As the first heir to the throne, I was allowed to use this room last year only in my mother’s absence.
There is no better place than here to talk confidentially with a large number of people.
We paid for it, and when we arrived, all the Knights, including the recruits… and the son of the Knights Commander, were in the rear line. Seriously wounded, such as recruits and cavalier captains, still had bandages wrapped under their uniforms, and some smelled of disinfectant.
As they all set their posture right, I slowly walk their opened path toward the throne. Behind me is Stile, and Tiara is also following me.
Where I got to the throne and in turn took my seat with Style, Tiara, the Knights were all kneeling on the spot, too.
“Raise your face.”
Everyone turns to me on my signal.
“I have paid for it. Right now, only you and… me and my dear siblings are here.
I really wanted to leave Tiara, but I couldn’t because she seemed to cry like an example.
“If you have something to say to me, only on this occasion now, I will not blame you for any kind of rudeness.
There was another different tension in my words from all the Knights earlier.
“I heard from Stayle. I hear you kept a secret about one of my trips to the field. Thank you.
Yes, I’ve already received reports from the Knights from mothers and fathers in neighboring countries that I asked Style to send weapons to the ground or to predict a cliff collapse and instruct them to evacuate. But I went to the site that there was a cliff crash, and I’ve had everything kept secret that I was in a secret chamber space for about half an hour with the Knights Commander and the Raiders.
Even for me, it was certain that my mother and father would be pissed off that the royal people had done that, and as a Knights, it was a great lapse such as involving the royal people, and in the worst case, a severe punishment, so Style and his deputy chief discussed it and kept it a secret.
Of course, the guards, the samurai and Dr. Carl, who welcomed me yesterday from the mouth of Stayle, have also stopped me…. Especially since Dr. Carl couldn’t stop me, even though he was beside us all the way from the Knights’ Exercise Ground. There was also a liability issue and it seemed to be an instant answer.
“No, because that would be more helpful as well. … then.”
The Knight Commander began to open his mouth.
“With all due respect, Her Royal Highness the First Princess…. where is your experience with swords, sniping and martial arts?
The words… are heavy.
The words of the Knights Commander were spoken slowly so that he could put in every word, meaning and emotion.
I got a lot of pain from the start.
“Swords and protective martial arts are a little when the style is taught to teachers. The sniper…, I saw it yesterday during an inspection of the Knights.
As soon as that happens, all the Knights will be agitated.
I’m not lying. In fact, I saw most of them taught swords and protective martial arts as well, though only once immediately after they were practiced!
But I’m cheesy because I’m a lass boss. I can’t tell you, and this was the best I could tell you without lying.
The Knights said, “Are you kidding me?” “That’s all that stands around.” “Wait, I mean, you think the sniper itself started with that?” “No way,” he says. Well, that’s a natural reaction.
But only the Knights Commander calmly said, “I see.” I answered just one word and continued to ask the question.
“So then… how did you know that that ambusher was a special ability in our country”
“I predicted. During the fall of the cliff, I saw him build a wall of dirt with his ability to defend himself.
I was thinking about this properly. I can’t say very well that it’s the route of the game as well.
“So why did you go to the site alone?
Question from the Knights follows without getting a haircut. Afraid.
“On that occasion, I was the only one who could rush to you. As you know, my brother, Stayle, can only move his weight around his own weight.
“Then it would have been impossible to use the means of communication of the Knights to inform and move the recruits and advance troops beside them?
“By the time I predicted, they were already evacuated and largely off the spot. I don’t know if I made it. Besides, I’m the only one with special abilities who can see the face…”
“Still, it’s much better than getting you out on the battlefield.”
The anger of the Knights Commander echoed throughout the room.
Billy and direct ears vibrate the skin.
“If there was any other possibility that you might not have made it out in time, you should have told the advance unit about the man’s characteristics and left the rest to us.”
There’s a deputy captain in the ensuing fury. Hey, try to calm down and hold the knight captain down, but the incandescent knight captain won’t stop.
“If you were to go to battlefield, the advance troops… no, everyone in the Knights would have acted without regard for their lives.”
“Then in the worst case scenario, you and even that person have been caught in rubble. I’m the surest…”
“Far better than you, if two of our knights can protect one royal family by dying.”
Gu, I’m stuck with words. To protect one royalty, two knights die. That’s natural. For the sake of a royal family, it is only natural that a knight should be destroyed.
But I…
“How devastating your death is! I will now review your position once and for all. You were so short-circuited that I could give despair to all the people of this country!”
The words of the Knight Commander pierce. I’m sure that’s what you really wanted to say to me yesterday, over and over again.
No, I did what I was told. We have to accept this place in silence.
“We are knights, Your Majesty the Queen, His Royal Highness the King, and your shield and sword to protect you.” “You almost painted mud on your way of life as a knight.”
What he says is the best. He wanted to die as a knight. Not only would I die if I made a mistake there, but I almost even tainted his death. But…
Your son is up in the corner of his sight yelling at you by the Knights Commander. I can’t even read that look with my bossy hair. As soon as that happened, I was reminded of what he looked like yesterday.
Cry and see him screaming for me to save my father.
“Your life is not worth our lives.”
No… now, we have to be patient…
“For your sake, for the sake of the people, we will gladly give this life.”
Bear with me…
“We are here for your royal family and for the people. You should never move for us.”
Inner Arrogance Queen Pride follows me to spit out my feelings even now. No, listen to me properly as a royal…
“Forget it, if you put yourself in danger, even if my life, the Knight Commander, is not hesitant.”
─ Pumpkin.
Something could play in me.
“Shut up.
The voice sounded stronger and lower than I thought.
The Knights captain, who had raised his anger until just now, instantly shuts up.
The deputy commander and the other knights also calmed down like they had struck water.
That’s good. Trying to be defamed of being an arrogant self-centered princess in this statement, though. If you are unconscious as royalty, even if the knights abandon you if it is not the vessel of the queen.
I’ve seen it in my last life, to a queen like that… I’d be much better off if I were to be the Queen of Pride who can laugh at everything for what it’s worth.
In a quiet room I get up slowly.
“You’re right, Commander of the Knights. I have annoyed many with short-circuited behavior. I tried to help you in a way you didn’t want. But.”
Step on the ground with both legs and force. It still hurts from muscle aches, but now as the first princess, have the best of luck.
“You’re not the only one I saved! You, and the knights you will raise, will save many more people.”
When I say that, I just breathe in again to the knights who look up at me standing in front of the throne with no reply.
“You don’t understand the value of the Knights, Captain. How much the people involved admire, love, and incline their hearts to you.”
In my words, the Knights Commander is hitting and rounding the change.
“I am royal; I am the first princess and the first heir to the throne of this country! The people of this country are the ones who live for it.
The words I spit out once keep coming out of my emotions. Yes, even I have something to say to the Knights Commander.
“Even if you’re not the Knights Commander, and you’re not just a soldier, I must have done the same thing. If you save me when I know I can, I won’t allow you to die unnecessarily.”
Even Style and Tiara peek into this one as surprised.
“You are knights and at the same time you are the people of our country. You are a proud people. It is the duty of our royal family to protect our people. If you are to be named knights, regret that you will not be able to save the people you would not have saved in the future than you will not be honored to death.”
I’m desperate to breathe on my shoulders so I don’t look ugly, spitting out all the words I was hoarding with my breath. For a few seconds, no one said anything. They all have the same look with their eyes open when they look at each of the knights faces after their breath is ready.
I knew I might have said too much. I said I wouldn’t blame you for anything you said, but I said everything I wanted to say back. Totally pulled or frightened.
Then at least that’s all I have to say at the end of the day.
“At the end,” separates a word, and I correct my posture.
“I sincerely apologize in the name of the First Princess, the Pride Royal Ivy, for treading and vandalizing your sacred battlefield and for the enormous inconvenience caused to your Knights by their unsolicited actions and for pushing my self-satisfaction through royal authority…. I’m sorry.
That’s what I said and slowly lowered my head. The knights, as well as the styles and tiaras. That’s all the weight the royalty weighs in on bowing its head and apologizing to anyone else.
Style said, “Sister, you are the first princess…” but controlled it by hand.
“There’s nobody here but us, Style. This is my personal sincere apology because it does not come true in an official setting.
With that said, I bowed my head for a while, and then slowly lifted it up, the knights saw a look of confusion and surprise.
There was no word from each other for a while, and it was time to think about opening it for you.
“Her Royal Highness the First Princess of Pride.
It was Lieutenant Clark who broke the silence. Get back to the vice president who hasn’t spoken before.
“If this is not the official place, but the individual’s words are allowed, can I have one?
He had a calm look. I forgive you, and when I answer, the Deputy Commander rises, crosses the Knights Commander, and takes the position of front of me.
“Thank you for your help, Mr. Stayle, and… for saving our Knights’ predicament.
Say that and kneel before me again.
As surprised as the Knights Commander or “Oh, hey Clark,” he tried to call out, but as soon as that happened, he shouted “and” and “and” and was cancelled.
“My friend… I thank you most sincerely for saving the Knights of Roderick…. Thank you…!
So I bow my head and lay flat.
Surprisingly, I had no words.
But the most surprising thing is the Knights Commander.
“As a knight in this case, you must not admit anything that involves royalty. It would be outside of gratitude and such. But I want to thank you personally on this occasion right now. Without your actions, we would have definitely lost one dear friend.
Every single word was a chewy word. For Lieutenant Clark, I know exactly how much the Knights Commander existed.
Then, one more person stood up and lay flat behind the deputy commander in a way that refrained. It would be a recruit based on the condition of the injury. “I was ashamed to save my life this time by Her Royal Highness the First Princess… Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Then, as it continued, the next knight in the operations conference room, a knight from the advance unit, lay flat in front of me as if the recruit had… cut a weir. All, it was thanks to the Knights Commander for his help that he spoke orally. One by one, the knights held back behind the Knights Commander fell back and lay flat on my front, behind the Deputy Commander, and if I noticed, all but the Knights Commander and his far rear son had done so to me.
The Commander of the Knights is also solidified in a distracted manner. I thought again that he was truly a beloved captain.
And finally.
……
Your son, he moved. Stand up loosely and lay flat, saying nothing, as peculiar as they are, although they seem unfamiliar when they move behind the knights.
The Knights captain could no longer block his open mouth as if he had seen something incredible. I’ve never seen a Knight Commander like this before.
“… Now, if you’ll excuse us.
Deputy Clark laughed a little funny at the Knights Commander’s face and stood up as he calmed down and signaled the knights. I said, “Yeah.” The knights greet each other and leave before answering.
The last time the Deputy Commander lined up next to the Knights Commander, it was then.
“Huh… Um! …
It was out-of-the-box, voice. Look, your knight captain’s son is staring at me with his head up.
“From me, too, … is it good…”
