How to describe that figure?
Her figure was excellent, the best Liens had seen among all the won so far.
She had light golden hair tied in a single ponytail, erald green eyes, and a faint smile on her face.
Her features were delicate; at first glance, she seed a bit cold, but upon closer inspection, she exuded an alluring charm.
Of course, it might also be the feeling her proud curves evoked.
She wore white armor with gold trim, but this armor seed more like an ornant to accentuate her figure than for defense.
It was precisely the armor's figure-enhancing design and the close-fitting white inner garnt, like a one-piece swimsuit, that made Liens' first impression of her being so 'ample'.
Besides that, one thing to ntion was her height.
According to Liens' careful observation, she was about 1.7 ters tall, very statuesque, perhaps even a bit taller than he was currently.
However, most importantly, he felt a threat from her.
This was an intuition, a judgnt of friend or foe he had developed through continuous killing and near-death experiences.
Especially after comprehending 'Simplicity', this intuition beca even more accurate.
While it couldn't directly tell him how strong an enemy was, it could at least allow him to draw a line for everyone he encountered.
For example, Gars, to him, posed almost no threat.
Therefore, he didn't even bother to spend ti in the Instance testing Gars' specific situation.
And with his current strength, anyone who could make him feel threatened was at least an Extraordinary One.
Thus, this existence, whom he had always considered a "vase" in his perception, was actually a strong person.
This, it must be said, once again exceeded his expectations.
Could it be that the so-called "Princess Knight" was not a "vase" at all, but a knight capable of truly leading an army?
Had he misunderstood due to preconceived notions?
The doubts in his heart made Liens watch the "Princess Knight" standing before the soldiers with even greater seriousness and scrutiny.
"Hmm?"
Liens quickly turned his gaze to Gars beside him, a look of excitent appearing on his face as he patted Gars' shoulder.
"It's Her Highness, that Princess is indeed as beautiful as in the album... No, she's even more beautiful in person."
Liens said to Gars, feigning excitent.
"Too sharp, to notice the difference in my gaze among so many soldiers."
"A strong person, this is definitely a strong person... perhaps even stronger than that Knight of the Pello Family."
"Is this what they call a genius? She looks to be only in her early twenties, yet her strength already rivals that of a thirty or forty-year-old Knight."
Liens thought to himself while talking to Gars. My Virtua*l L@ibr%ary^ Em#pi-r^e* (*)^
He hadn't expected that just by making his gaze a bit more serious, the "Princess Knight" would suddenly turn her attention this way.
Such acute senses, even Liens himself felt inferior.
He himself had, after all, experienced countless killings and deaths, yet he still couldn't detect individual differences from a multitude of gazes.
"It seems I still need to practice more."
Liens sighed slightly.
"Yeah, Lucrezia is really beautiful, especially that part... Tsk tsk, I envy those guys standing in front."
"Wait, Her Highness Lucrezia seems to be looking over, is she looking at ?"
"Alright... she turned back again."
Gars kept his eyes on the graceful figure in front, not even turning his head when responding to Liens, his gaze seemingly fixed on that subtle tremor.
With each change of words, his expression would change.
First intoxicated, then excited, and finally disappointed, like changing faces, it was very entertaining.
Seeing Gars' performance, Liens suddenly felt that his own acting might need improvent.
At least he hadn't conveyed the feeling of a fervent fan like Gars just now.
...
"Greetings everyone, I am Lucrezia Hartwin, the current 'Princess Knight'."
"From now on, I will shoulder the responsibility of the 'Princess Knight', helping everyone with training and boosting morale."
"Let us together protect our families, protect Kara, and protect our nation."
Lucrezia maintained a faint smile as she introduced herself to the soldiers in front of her in a very normal manner.
But as her calm yet sowhat impassioned words reached everyone's ears, a faint surge of excitent actually rose in Liens' heart.
He seed to genuinely feel a sense of agreent with the Princess's speech.
And if Liens was like this, what about the others?
"Clap clap clap!"
"Good, excellent, Princess Knight said it so well."
Gars imdiately clapped and shouted.
Subsequently, enthusiastic applause and cheers began to rise in the training ground.
To be honest, Liens didn't think this short speech was particularly good, but seeing everyone else applauding, he didn't want to act differently.
He also clapped and cheered along.
However, not everyone was like this.
"Princess Knight, it's not that I look down on you, but what abilities do you think you possess that can help us?"
A general in his thirties or forties suddenly shouted.
Amidst the cheers, his questioning words stood out even more abruptly.
And seeing their leader speak, the soldiers, who had been fired up for certain reasons, imdiately cald down.
On one side was their future beautiful leader, and on the other was their current leader.
When the two clashed, the soldiers, not wanting to be caught out by their current leader, quickly and sensibly chose to remain silent.
Liens pulled Gars, who was still intent on supporting his idol, reminding him to recognize the situation.
Lest he be kicked out of the army right after enlisting.
"I believe my swordsmanship is decent, and it should help everyone improve their swordsmanship skills better."
"At the sa ti, I also have so knowledge of military strategy, troop deploynt, and other military matters."
Lucrezia replied with a touch of humility.
"Putting aside military knowledge for a mont, since Princess Knight believes her swordsmanship is good."
"Then, would you be able to demonstrate it to everyone present?"
"However, I personally feel that rely demonstrating swordsmanship forms is ultimately lacking."
"Coincidentally, I also think my swordsmanship is decent, so how about we spar a bit?"
The general continued.
"Naturally."
Lucrezia nodded, agreeing to the general's proposal.
Upon receiving her affirmation, the general began to have the soldiers spread out, clearing an open space suitable for a sword duel.
"Who do you think will win?"
"Of course, I hope Lucrezia wins."
"But he's a military general after all, and quite strong; even I might not be able to defeat him."
Gars excitedly asked and answered himself.
He seed to be talking to Liens, but in reality, his eyes never left the open space in the middle.
As for Gars' self-talk, Liens naturally couldn't be bothered to respond.
He looked at the general; he felt that the person was either a stooge or soone sent by the Glenbagen Family to cause trouble.
If he was a stooge...
Then his act of sacrificing himself to elevate the "Princess Knight" was very reasonable.
But if he was from the Glenbagen Family...
Then it could only be said that they had underestimated the strength of the "Princess Knight" before them.
At least he didn't feel any threat from the general.
