At first, Victor tried to refuse. After all, the only subject he needed to protect was his lord, the crown prince. However, the mont Victor heard the na from the princess, he changed his mind.Lady Floyen?Victor believed he had fallen in love at first sight. He could not forget the ladys elegant appearance at the princess coronation ceremony. She had resembled an elf in the knights eyes.I cant believe this opportunity has co.Although the crown prince had asked the lady for a dance, Victor was convinced that it was simply a sche of so sort.His Highness has the Handkerchief Lady. It must be that he asked Lady Floyen for a dance so he can keep the Handkerchief Lady safe from the emperors eyes.Having made up his mind, Victor promised Beatrice, I will take responsibility and protect the lady.
Hearing his serious pledge, Beatrice smiled contentedly.Maximilians subordinates are certainly loyal.The only people Beatrice kept close were the empress subordinates. Therefore, the princess couldnt help but feel a bit of envy. Fair enough. I will keep what I saw today a secret in exchange.
Thank you, Your Highness.
Having finished the trade, Beatrice got up. If anyone asks what happened, I ca here to argue with my brother about the hunting competition. Do you understand?
Victor nodded. He knew that Beatrice had no benefit in being seen as having a close relationship with the crown prince. Such would only raise the emperor and empress hostility. Understood. Beatrice left, and Victorputting on the heltgrinned, thinking the princess was a better person than he had once thought.
Victor, a familiar voice suddenly called from behind him. Startled, Victor turned around.
Oh, Your Highness. You have returned earlier than expected. His lord looked sowhat more tired than usual. Victor observed his lord for a mont before noticing the crown princes gaze on him. The knight quickly stood up.
Did anything happen while I was gone? Max asked as he sat in his chair. Victor hesitated for a mont, recalling the conversation he had with Beatrice just now.
If anyone asks what happened, I ca here to argue with my brother about the hunting competition. Do you understand?
If His Highness finds out that the princess found out about my identity, I might be beheaded.His mind made up, Victor reported false information as planned with Beatrice. The princess ca and argued that her knight would be a better hunter than Your Highness.
Max slightly furrowed his brow in response.I wonder why she would suddenly pick a fight with
Could it be because ofNo matter how much Max thought about it, the only reason his sister would have a grudge was that he had witnessed her dance hideously alone in her room the other night. I see.
Seeing Max smirk sinisterly, Victor hurriedly added, Of course, I mocked the princess once I heard what she had to say!
Realizing his subordinate wanted praise, Max nodded. I see. Well done. Anyway, I think it is ti to start our evening eting
Ah, tonights eting is canceled, Victor replied quickly. Captain Dennis should be with Lady Fresia by now.
Fresia? What did she need him for?
Ah, it seems she had sothing to discuss about Your Highness orders to keep an eye on the emperors movents regarding the hunting competition. Anyway, the captain should be returning soon.
I see. As Victor was about to take off the crown princes armor, Max suddenly pointed out, By the way You seem uncomfortable.
Victor flinched slightly. Im sorry? he asked back. In what way do I look uncomfortable?
Im just saying this because youve been acting extrely nervous since Ive arrived. Is sothing the matter?
Victor had finally received the much-desired attention from the crown prince. Nonetheless, he felt his blood curdle. He swallowed dryly.He was never this interested in
What has gotten into him?If he reported what had happened, Victor was sure to receive disciplinary action for failing to fulfill his duties. Shaking his head, the knight forced a smile. S-sothing the matter?! Of course not, Your Highness.
