I was very embarrassed.
‘Why is he here?’
Except for Leonard and Derek’s combination, eting with two male players at the sa ti was a rare occurrence in the ga.
In the midst of a flurry of unexpected developnts, he recited in a lower voice.
“Penelope Eckart”
A cold chill swept over the back of the neck.
‘It’s not very good.’
Whatever it was, I had to break the situation down quickly. I hurried out of Eckliss’s arms. However, the hot palms that lay on the back of the hand did not budge at all the ti.
“......Eckliss?”
I twisted my wrists again, calling him. But the more I struggled, the stronger the power of clamping down.
“Eckliss, let go of your hand. Because it hurts.”
I finally tilted my head to the top and looked up at him. The gray eyes rolled toward .
After eting my eyes for a mont, he finally loosened his grip on . The hands that fell off were cooler than before. I hurried out of his arms and paid a silent tribute to Derek.
“What are you doing?”
But the only thing that ca back was the cold gaze.
‘Why is he so angry?’
Not long ago, he finished his work with the knights well with the Duke. A few days later, Derek didn’t say much, and then I didn’t do anything to be blad.
I answered obediently, tilting my head against Derek’s bad spirits.
“I was practicing the crossbow with my escort..”
“The archers of the family are obviously left behind.”
The cold gaze went beyond to Eckliss, behind .
“You can’t bully soldiers in training.”
I added, shuffling in front of Eckliss as if I were protecting him from Derek.
“And my escort knew about the crossbow well enough to be teach .”
“To teach you?”
I saw a blue spark splashing in his eyes as to what had hurt his sarcasm. His head began to blink dangerously. But I felt more scared of his face, which was turning violent than his favorability gauge.
Derek looked alternately at and Eckliss with a contemptuous tone.
“You don’t have the basic common sense to point you bow to your peers, what can you learn?”
“I don’t have any common sense, so I’m just trying to learn a little bit before I go to the competition, Little Duke.”
I don’t feel much of a blow because I didn’t do what I did, but I couldn’t help but sighing at the sharp response.
“If you don’t like using the field, I’ll go sowhere”
“.....”
“Let’s go, Eckliss.”
I took Eckliss and tried to hurry out of my seat. I was about to pass Derek. Tak-.
“Where”
I could not move further by the grasping grip of my arm.
Looking back with astonished eyes, he was covered with a blue face.
“I’ll teach you myself if you need such instruction.”
“...Yes?”
“You.”
He suddenly turned away from and looked at Eckliss.
“If you don’t have any further training, then go back to your quarters.”
I couldn’t say anything about Derek’s haughtily giving orders. No matter how much I said I’d bring him and make him my escort, but thanks to the tacit permission of Derek, the leader, Eckliss was able to participate in the training anyway.
As with any army, the Knights of Eckart were very thorough in their top and bottom. So I thought he’d go back to his quarters.
But instead of leaving, Eckliss gently wrapped around my wrist holding a crossbow, opposite of hand Derek’s caught.
“...my master wants to teach her.”
And he answered with a crooked tilt of his head.
‘What’s wrong with them?’
In a situation where my hands were held together, I just looked at them with shaky eyes. Derek’s face turned violent when he saw the rebellious Eckliss.
“Who dares teach whom on the subject of slavery?”
“The Imperial Army also suffered a devastating defeat in the Battle of Livius by Delman’s court martial.”
I opened my mouth at Eckliss’s direct reply. This was a clear check.
From so point on, I felt a sting in my skin. I didn’t know who it was coming from.
I’d like you to let it go...
I tried twisting both wrists, but neither of them budged.
“...Delman?”
Derek, who was staring at Eckliss without saying a word, suddenly laughed at one corner of his mouth.
“Ah.”
“.....”
“A country of shallow savages that was betrayed by the small countries that had been deviant and erased from the map without a break?”
Soon Eckliss’s grip at my wrist was tightened.
‘You’re going to get into a fight!’
I looked at the two n in a whirlwind of eyes, unable to groan.
Frankly speaking, I had a big wish that Eckliss would stop saying anything. In any case, there is a huge difference in status with Derek in the Empire.
But contrary to my earnest wish, Eckliss opened his mouth, glaring at Derek.
“Then let’s take a look at it today.”
“How that shallow savage teaches the only princess of the empire how to hold a bow.”
“You cocky little..........”
Derek’s face was horribly distorted in a sarcastic tone. Their heads began to blink dangerously. Anxiety crept up over my body.
If it’s one of the episodes that they’re fighting at this rate, I’m sure I’m the only one who gets swept away.
I was holding my breath to see if my back would burst if I stepped out for no reason, but I couldn’t.
“Stop! Stop!”
I shouted loudly, shaking off the wrists held by the two as hard as I could. I was able to retrieve my wrist safely thanks to the carelessness of those who were staring at each other with a ready-to-fight spirit.
I put my hands together in front of my chest just in case I get caught again.
“I’m off. I suddenly don’t want to practice.”
Then I turned to Derek first, and then hurriedly notified him.
‘I have to get out of here right now’
I left them alone and tried to get out of the targets. Perhaps embarrassed by my behavior, the two imdiately tried to catch .
“Penelope.”
“Master.”
Even Eckliss, who seed unlikely, ca close as if he were racing. I narrowed the gap between my eyes and beat him coldly.
“Don’t follow . I’m going back to my room alone.”I think I told Eckliss, but it was actually ant for Derek. He may follow to the mansion.
‘If you’re going to fight, get out of here and just two!’
“Goodbye, then.”
I hurried out of the field in case two people chased .
I could feel the stinging eyes on the back of my head. The faster the walk got away from them, the more I ran.
“Oh, my gosh...”
Just entering the forest road, I breathed softly and glanced behind . Fortunately, no one was following . Only then did I slow down my speed.
“Phew... I almost died in it for nothing.”
Anxiety is always right. The chill I felt earlier ca back to and my body trembled.
In the midst of that chaos, I muttered helplessly, laughing at the way I had brought the crossbow.
“But I’m glad I ran away well....”
It was not known whether the two lost and started to fight. Even so, it didn’t matter now. I think I’m not going to lose my favor because I’m not even in the right place.
‘I’m just going to ask the Duke to have a separate archery teacher, so I’m going to practice alone in the backyard.’
I started walking again, vowing many tis not to approach the Secretary of State for the ti being.
