“Okay. I’ll see you in a few days.”

I can’t go right away anyway. There are things to do in the palace, and there are things prepared for Lucille, so you have to do that too.

“Yes. Thank you. And I…”

As I stared at it, the female knight let out a heavy sigh and carefully opened her mouth.

“I accompanied the Leventia knight on the battlefield as an attendant four months ago.”

“therefore?”

“…That. Leventia… is looking for the wise man every day. It’s so heartbreaking to see him… and he’s suffering a lot…”

Her explanation continued. According to the detailed explanation, it is said that Leventia has completely changed as a person.

Feeling sorry for that, the female knight was pleading that I must see her again.

I heard that other things can be said easily.

It was so funny.

Very few people know what my relationship with the warrior party is like.

The reason was simple.

Because I, and the very few people in the kingdom who knew it, refused to reveal it.

In the kingdom, if it is known that such a thing happened in the warrior party, the kingdom’s hopes will be tainted, and the morale of the battlefield they were put into will fall into abyss.

I also don’t like it because it’s hard to get achievements when the monster’s movement becomes active and chaos gets worse in the process.

We don’t have anything good for each other, so what are we going to do?

So the truth was thoroughly hidden.

Those who didn’t know this used to defend me in this way whenever the warrior party members looked for me, or after seeing them suffer.

“It’s fine even once… why don’t you meet him?”

One article showed great courage.

Staring at her with a hard expression, I praised her courage, but there was no reason for my response to change.

“Hey. What’s your name?”

“This is Roxy Bleimanhart.”

I smiled at her and spoke calmly.

“Why don’t you just stop worrying about others and do your own thing properly?”

“I’m sorry.”

Roxy was taken aback by my sharp reaction, said hello, and disappeared as if running away.

My head is still spinning

The first response method, when the language is difficult and useless, I tried to solve it with the second response method, the fist.

I looked in the direction she was going, then I put the cane I secretly took out and put it back on my waist and went back to my room.

“Anyway, Leventia has changed that much…”

Naturally, it reminded me of the time I met Claire not too long ago.

The girl who was talking nonsense in front of me and confessing her mistakes.

Hmm…

If I go to the battlefield soon, I might run into Evangeline as well as her…

I also have to prepare myself.

The next day, when it was regular class time, I found Lucille.

At the same time as usual, a class close to small talk, he instructed her to use magic as usual.

After confirming the beginner magic that Lucille can use, I tapped the table and said,

“I’ve been trying to figure out the princess’s aptitude and skills for the past few days. The basics seem to be there.”

“…Yes. I did a little in the past.”

“Thank you. And I asked Rukel the other day and told you to try intermediate magic. Have you learned it?”

“I’ve been learning… but…”

My shoulders hunched. In order to use intermediate magic, a certain level must be raised. However, if she, who is more like a housewife, raises her level, how can she raise it?

There are three main ways to level up in the game.

First is hunting.

The second is an event.

The third quest.

All three had nothing to do with Lucille, who was a housewife.

“I’m sorry…”

While I crossed my arms and continued my thoughts, Lucille’s head hung down and she was depressed again. The ladies-in-waiting who were watching her were at a loss for what to do, but that wasn’t the point.

A little better, but Lucille’s self-abasement was still severe.

This self-abasement, too, must be shattered.

of course. I have prepared everything for this.

“Princess, if you don’t mind, could you give me some time?”

“Yes? What, what?”

“Let’s go outside together for a bit.”

As soon as I finished today’s training, I went straight to the queen. She, who was working in her office, accepted my request to visit, and as soon as I entered her room, I said directly.

“I’m going to take the princess and go on a trip abroad.”

“…It sounds like you’re openly trying to kidnap the royal family.”

“I kidnapped the royal family, so where are you going to use it?”

“I don’t know if it’s something you don’t know. Thinking of the difference in status, you’re trying to escape love.”

What a funny joke. Seeing my expression, the queen smiled and shook her head.

“If you don’t report a clear purpose for what you’re going to do, we won’t allow it.”

“What the princess lacks is combat and socialization. I’m trying to make up for that.”

“…Hmm. Is he also a law that lives in the world?”

“Yes.”

The queen seemed to be quite troubled. Tapping the desk with her fingers, she thought about it while drinking a cup of tea, then nodded.

“It’s for the princess, but I can’t refuse it. So?”

“Yes?”

“Can you tell me what kind of training you’re going to do?”

“It’s a group assignment.”

The Queen stared blankly at me with a bewildered face.

The center of the palace is a special place even within the palace.

It was a place where the royal family lived for generations, and traditionally, it was a place where access was prohibited except for those who received special permission.

The Lily Knights patrol every hour, and they are protected by the magic of the kingdom’s magician, Lukel.

With dozens of traps prepared in the hallway alone, this place could be seen as the most important facility in the kingdom.

I was walking down the hallway while the sharp killing spree created by the countless traps and defenses pierced my body.

The royal residence area that many people want to visit at least once, but have never actually been to.

I walked down the hallway of Baekam Castle, commonly known as Baekamseong, and arrived at the princess’s room.

“What are you doing?”

As usual, the maids stood in front of the princess’s room. Dressed in white frills and black cloth, they appear to be quite polite and well-educated ladies-in-waiting, but in reality they are different.

All of them are trained assassins who guard the princess in the dark.

Those who would lay down their lives like straw to protect the royal family in the event of an emergency.

I laughed and said to those who might attack me after hearing the decision I had made.

“Tell the princess that I have something to tell you about tomorrow’s class.”

Regardless of their original status, on the surface, I am the princess’ teacher, and they are the princess’s maids.

Since there is an obvious difference in status, I spoke comfortably, and the girls took it for granted and knocked on the door.

After a while, the door burst open.

“Master?! What are you doing at this hour?!”

It was a surprised expression. With my eyes wide open, I looked away from the girl whose eyes were shining with a flushed face.

“to?”

Was it to sleep? Lucille’s outfit was not the usual long dress, but thin and light like a butterfly’s wings.

And it was a nightgown that subtly revealed her inner self.

“ah…”

Lucille’s face grows red. Lucille, whose face turned red in an instant like her long hair down to her back and her lips pouting, slumped to the floor. Trying to hide the exposed place somehow, she didn’t even receive the robe I gave her.

can’t help it

I draped the robe over Lucille’s shoulders.

The robe alone was enough to cover her body, probably because she was obviously smaller than me, who was quite large.

“Go, go, thank you…”

Lucille, who barely spoke in a crawling voice, lowered her head.

It seemed that he was quite ashamed of himself for showing an insolent appearance, and there was no need to touch this part for nothing, so I continued talking as if I didn’t know.

“I’m going to go out for a while tomorrow morning. It’s an outside class, so be prepared.”

“…Yes? Yes?”

Lucille didn’t seem to understand what I was saying. While she tilted her head, the lady-in-waiting understood her words and asked politely, but in a rather cool tone.

“Outside. Sage-nim. That’s…”

“I have received permission from the Queen.”

After hearing that, the ladies-in-waiting quietly stepped back. that he had the Queen’s permission.

In other words, it is the same as saying that their follow-up was implicitly permitted.

“And I want you to refrain from doing useless things.”

“…All right.”

Follow-up is permitted, but intervention will not be tolerated.

The ladies-in-waiting accepted my words of determination. Well, I don’t know if it will be like that tomorrow.

“Outside…? Can I… go outside?”

“I’ll go too.”

“That’s right. Touring the kingdom as a princess…”

“no.”

I held out the bag I had brought. I bought it when I went out for a while.

Upon opening the bag, what came out was a robe and a staff often used by wizards.

Lucille, who looked at it and me alternately, tilted her head again.

“This… Why?”

“I’ll tell you more about it tomorrow. Have a good night then.”

I still tilted my head as if I didn’t understand, then waved to Lucille, who barely greeted me.

the next morning.

Unlike usual, Lucille, dressed as a beginner wizard, came to the garden hesitantly. I, who had been waiting, went right out with her. There were some interruptions on the way out, and the ladies-in-waiting followed suit in disguise, but there was no particular problem.

“Where are you going?”

“I’ll leave that for your enjoyment after you arrive.”

Lucille was quite curious, probably because it was her first time going out so early. Of course, I was afraid as well, so I didn’t loosen my hands holding the hem of my clothes.

The place where she took her was the adventurer’s guild.

“Welcome. Sage.”

“What missions are currently unsolved?”

“Eh… that’s it.”

“And I’m going to register this friend as an adventurer. His name is Lucille. I’m the guarantor.”

“The wise man’s guarantee is sufficient. And this is an unsolved mission.”

Lucille, who had been staring blankly at me while Nando was picking out what I wanted out of the unfinished missions, finally came to her senses and asked,

“S-Master? What is this…”

It was then.

“Ah! Sage-sama! Aren’t you Sage-sama?! Hey~ I’m so happy to see you here again! Today is a day that somehow looks like something will happen from the morning! Huh? What you’re holding right now is… Oh! That! Mushrooms! Collecting! I, too, like the wise man…”

I heard a bright voice accompanied by a lot of chatter that would drive me crazy just by listening to it.

A bright werewolf shaman boy with no countermeasures who had been on a quest before.

Upon his appearance, Lucille opened her mouth wide, and I immediately accepted the quest.

“Hey, over there. Su, Master, this. This… over there. Are you requesting an adventurer…?”

“Yes.”

“I… I wonder if I can do it well…”

Looking at the worried Lucille, I laughed.

“To me, the princess is better than him.”

Lucille was happy and didn’t know what to do and twisted her body.

People with low self-esteem should always be praised.

And our werewolf boy, who always had a field of flowers on his head, began to smirk and talk eagerly.

“No, Sage. How can you say such harsh words?! What should I give you if I catch it? I really want to catch it. Oh, by the way, with the priest the other day…”

Lucille, who had been staring blankly at him, who had never stopped talking nonstop since we met earlier and sprinkled unplanned positivity, looked at me with a tired face and slightly covered her ears.

how is it?

am i right?
