"I like being able to see you clearly." What does he mean by seeing clearly? I buried my face in his chest with my head bowed low. Then I muttered. "......Don't say such perverted things." Isn't the Grand Duke of the North a bit too smooth? Sometimes when he's like this, I find it difficult to know how to react. With that handsome face, those languid, half-lidded eyes, and that husky voice whispering seductively...... who wouldn't fall for it? I've realized lately that I seem to be weak…-

I removed my gloves from my now clean hands. I made my way to the competition venue prepared for watching the mounted lance tournament. People with excited faces were all picking their favorites to win. "Your Highness, I'm so nervous." "Me too. Will it be alright?" If Cedric were to get hurt, I might rush out immediately and use my ability. The competition had a high risk of injury because points were earned when lances broke. That's why people were so enthusiastic about it, and it was very…

"I'm not sure what's going on, but they're currently walking around with papers asking for signatures." "Signatures?" "They say it's to verify the people on the list, but something feels fishy, so I called for Your Highness." "Are imperial knights doing this?" Kaven nodded. It seemed the emperor was racking his brains to find the missing Bowell and Paul. "Don't worry about it, just act as usual." "Then I won't say anything special to the others." Cedric nodded. Claire would be asleep…

The emperor arrived at the place where the divine beasts were kept. He confirmed they were all obediently inside, but he couldn't easily turn away. "Has anyone been here?" "No, no one else has come, Your Majesty." The knight responded with strict discipline. The emperor read his mind but found nothing unusual. "Kameli, have you noticed any changes?" "The knights are checking now." The emperor had summoned Kameli on his way to the divine beasts and brought him along. Kameli's gaze shifted…

Cedric used escorting the emperor as an excuse to leave the place. Otherwise, he would have had to continue tiresome conversations there. "Return to the barracks now. You never intended to escort me in the first place, did you?" "Yes, that's right. I'll return to the barracks." Cedric immediately turned around at the emperor's words. He was grateful for being told this, given his position. As he walked quickly toward the barracks, a bird flew over and perched on his shoulder. "Tweet!…

I was at a loss for words. For something he described as "slightly" putting them to sleep, the guards were sprawled all over. Since there were no injuries, it seems he really just touched them. "What would you have done if I hadn't come out before the banquet ended?" "Then I would have quietly gone back in." "......I thought you had a plan, but you were just reckless." "Sometimes no plan is better than having one." Well, he's good with words. "I learned all this from you,…

The banquet began. After the hunting competition ended, everyone gathered to share drinks and food. I sipped my beverage without touching any alcohol. 'I can't let Father catch me.' I hadn't looked into the imperial palace's physicians. It wouldn't change the outcome anyway. "Have you lost your appetite?" "No. It's delicious. I'm just glad we have a day to rest." If the mounted lance competition had proceeded immediately without rest, it would have been physically draining. In truth,…

The knight dismounted and retrieved the arrow embedded in a tree. Cedric discovered who the arrow belonged to and turned his head to look in the direction it had come from. The one who appeared, riding a snow-white horse, was none other than the emperor. "Oh dear, oh dear. I'm sorry. My eyes aren't what they used to be. But why were you standing there like a fool in the hunting grounds?" "I apologize. It seems I disturbed Your Majesty's hunt." "It looks like the winner of the hunting…

Kaven nodded as he gripped his sword. "I understand perfectly your instruction to keep them alive so they can answer questions." "Yes, exactly that." I gave a thumbs up and headed toward the encampment. When I went to the back of House Monteroz's encampment, I saw Yerenica. "Yeni." Remembering she had asked me to call her by that familiar name, I called out to her warmly. Yerenica turned her head quickly, scanning her surroundings with caution. "Don't worry, guards are protecting the…

After the tea party ended, I prepared carriages filled with gifts to express my gratitude to those who had come to see me. "My goodness! Your Highness. This is too generous." "Not at all. You came all this way, so I should show my appreciation. I enjoyed myself thanks to you." "But this is too much......" "I've included famous specialties and fabrics from the North. So please don't refuse." "Thank you so much. It feels like I've received an unexpected gift." "I'll send invitations from…
