The Fiancee Who Betrayed Me Is Obsessed With Me

47 – Blunt Knight

“Lord Mernis. What do you think about Yuna?”

1 prince. Edgar Fontana Helias asked Leah.

The expedition to the Deipson Kingdom was completed successfully, but as a result, a completely unexpected variable occurred.

Originally, Edgar should have led the expedition successfully, gained support from the Ceramide family, and been selected as the clear successor.

However, the unexpected intervention of the Fourth Princess Yuuna. And the fact that she was an exceptionally talented wizard.

I couldn’t understand how she had been hiding her magic skills and acting like a cruel villain.

There were some things I didn’t notice because I wasn’t interested in Yuuna, but all the evil deeds she did weren’t just acting.

If it was really all an act and he had been hiding his power all this time to aim for the throne, Yuuna was an opponent he could never ignore.

“Are you talking about the 4th princess? I was surprised to learn that it was definitely a wizard. “I think it’s fair to say that I planned everything for my participation in this expedition.”

“I guess so… ha… ”

From Edgar’s point of view, it was a lightning strike.

It remains to be seen what Yuna will do in the future, but her strength as a magician could never be ignored.

According to the information quickly gathered, it is assumed that Yuna has a talent that is worthy of being counted even on the continent.

If she used her talent to expand her horizons, she could have lost her throne.

“Lord Mernis said he was sharing a room with Yuna’s favorite escort knight.”

“yes. That’s right.”

“How is he? Or is there anything about Yuuna’s movements that you can tell from him?”

“he is… “

Leah thought.

Beryl, his most precious comrade and roommate.

He said from the beginning that he wanted to become the Four Princesses’ bodyguard.

And contrary to the general public perception of the Four Princesses, he was not afraid of the Four Princesses at all.

Rather, it seemed that after he became the guard of the Four Princesses, he did not hear any rumors that the Four Princesses had killed someone.

In fact, Beryl is favored by the Four Princesses, so their relationship may be deeper than Lia thought.

“… He never specifically talked about the Four Princesses, but from the beginning, he wasn’t as afraid of them as others thought. “There is probably no one who can behave as he pleases in front of the Four Princesses than him.”

“Did you say you were a commoner orphan? “Maybe that’s why Yuuna keeps her close to me.”

He was a person who had no political problems.

Since his skills were certain, he might have thought it would be good to use it as his own sword.

Of course, in Lia’s opinion, it didn’t seem like that was the reason.

In any case, there seemed to be no doubt that Beryl was Yuna’s faithful confidant.

“First of all, when you are with him, secretly find out information about Yuna.”

“… I’m not a very soft-spoken person, but I’ll try my best. then.”

Leah bowed her head to Edgar and changed duties.

Although it meant that work hours were over, Lia did not lose her composure on the way back.

It was truly a knightly gait.

However, contrary to her discipline, her mind was a mess.

Although Lia was a knight to her core, the fact that she was a nobleman was unavoidable.

Moreover, since his father was also the leader of the Royal Knights, he was inevitably involved in many political matters.

The Knights remained neutral on the surface, but in reality, Commander Mernis was a little closer to the First Prince’s side.

Rather than for other philistine reasons, the knights valued tradition, and it was appropriate to stand on the side of the first prince who had officially started the succession process.

As a result, Lia was automatically assigned to be the first prince’s bodyguard, and had no choice but to become involved in political affairs.

A knight is someone who protects their lord. With the King lying in sick bed, it made sense to remain loyal to the First Prince.

First of all, Lia was doing that, but for some reason, she felt uncomfortable with that fact.

Maybe it was because he thought he might run into Beryl in the future.

The thoughts that had previously popped out without knowing why were becoming more and more clear.

As the Four Princesses gradually revealed the aspects they had been hiding for the past 10 years, a future in conflict with Beryl was clearly depicted.

“ha… ”

After returning to the room and being alone, Lia finally relaxed and sat down on the bed.

Beryl wasn’t in the room. It seemed like he was still on a mission.

Get information about the Four Princesses from Beryl. She could try, but Beryl didn’t seem to open her mouth.

In fact, more than anything, Lia wanted to spend time alone with Beryl in a casual way.

Asking Beryl to comb her hair, telling her about the day’s events, and playing flirtatious jokes.

Lia loved spending time with Beryl so much.

Still, everything was still a long way off.

Right now, I just wanted to enjoy my time with Beryl. Lia waited blankly for him to return.

I was planning on going to eat with him when he came back.

Just imagining eating together face to face made me feel much better.

-smart

“who are you.”

Squeak…

Not long after Lia arrived in the room, someone knocked on the door, and Lia immediately opened the door.

From noble mtl dot com

“Captain?”

“Ah, Leah. “Were you alone?”

“Yes, it is, but… ”

He was the leader of the Guard Knight Corps.

Although he said it was time for personal maintenance before dinner, it was rare for him to come by in person like this.

Naturally, Lia became curious about the matter.

“Actually, I have something to convey to you two. “I think there will probably be a move to the dormitory sometime next week.”

“… yes?”

“This is an order from above. Maybe Leah should move to another empty room. Of course, from now on I will be using it alone.”

Lia couldn’t believe her ears. Then, I remembered what Yuna said in Deipson.

“… 4Is this an order from the princess?”

“Yes. Anyway, since that’s the case, please pass it on to Beryl as well. Unless another female knight joins the guard knights, you will probably live alone forever.”

“… All right.”

The leader left immediately after delivering the business.

Lia wanted to say no and that there was no reason to change rooms, but she couldn’t.

This was because disobeying orders without any reason was against Lia’s own beliefs.

She didn’t want to be treated with consideration just because she was a woman, but disobeying orders was even more unbecoming of a knight.

Puh-uh-Puh-uh-

Lia was unusually emotional. For some reason, I felt like crying.

I was angry. I even wanted to scream. I wanted to go see the Four Princesses right away and argue with them.

But all Lia could do now was hit the innocent pillow.

It was a feeling that Lia had never felt before.

“Off… “What’s on the menu for dinner tonight, Haas?”

“I remember it was probably fried chicken and noodles. “If you don’t hurry up, there won’t be any food left.”

“If it’s that menu… It’s not even meal time yet, but there’s already a line. “Hurry up and take Lia with us.”

“I agree.”

After completing the mission, I met Haas on the way back and I headed to the dormitory.

Today was a rare day when the three of us could have dinner together.

I hated seeing Haas, but it wasn’t often that all three of us had missions that didn’t overlap, so we thought we’d take Leah and head to the restaurant together.

Suddenly-

“Lord Lia! Let’s go, tonight’s dinner… huh… ?”

Haas, who was excitedly leading the way, hurriedly opened the door to my room and entered, then froze.

I followed him and looked into the room over his shoulder, and I couldn’t help but freeze.

“lee… ah… ?”

“Lee, Sir Lia… What’s going on… ?”

Leah was just sitting on the bed. Holding the torn pillow tightly in my hand. Without even a movement.

I could clearly tell that she was not in a good mood from her stiff expression, as if she was going to explode at any moment.

Since she didn’t usually show her emotions, she looked even more scary.

“… no. “Let’s go now.”

“Yes, yes…” ”

Lia dropped the pillow on the floor and stood up.

The cotton of the burst pillow fluttered.

Leah walked out and passed us, not caring that her pillow had burst.

“W-what’s going on?”

“I don’t know either… ”

Haas and I followed her, trembling.

No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t think of anything that would make her angry.

Could it be that Yuna came and started an argument?

That’s why Yuuna was with me all day today.

“Lee, Leah? What’s going on?”

“… does not exist.”

After receiving her meal, Lia sat down and chewed some fried chicken.

The crispy batter and moist, juicy meat were very delicious.

However, it was difficult to fully enjoy the taste due to the atmosphere.

“… “Get up first.”

“Yes, yes? Too bad… Give me whatever is left… ”

“Eat it all, Haas.”

“W-Wooot?!”

Lia, who had only had a few drinks, quickly got up from her seat, and Haas looked at her leftover food with regret.

Lia threw the remaining fried chicken to Haas, returned the plate, and left the restaurant.

Haas chewed on his fried chicken and looked at the back.

“Hmm… I can’t believe I don’t eat this menu. It’s clear something big is happening.”

“really… “Someone is going to die.”

“Ask me when you get back to your room.”

“I’m scared to even go back to my room… ”

I don’t know what it was, but it didn’t seem like an ordinary situation.

Still, it’s okay to pretend not to know when I’ve received a lot of help from Lia.

After a leisurely dinner with Haas, I went back to my room.

*

When I returned to the room, Lia had already finished showering and was lying dazedly on the bed.

As expected, the pillow was lying all over the floor, so I placed the pillow I had received from the military administration next to her.

“… “I’ll take a shower.”

I cleaned up the slightly damaged pillow and finished taking a shower.

Lia was still lying in the same position, and the pillow was still where I left it.

It was still too early to fall asleep, but I just lay quietly in bed.

“… Beryl.”

“… huh.”

After lying down for a while without turning off the light, Lia spoke to me.

I answered in a somewhat nervous voice.

“The 4th princess… Are you aiming for the throne?”

Sudden question.

I couldn’t sell information about my lord, but I thought it would be okay to tell him this much.

Because it was no longer a secret that Yuna was aiming for the throne.

This is probably something that the 1st Prince is expecting anyway.

“… that’s right.”

“so… Is that so? No, that’s… ”

Leah heard my answer and mumbled in an inaudible voice.

Suddenly-

Then he suddenly got up, got off the bed, and came towards me.

“Lee, Leah?”

“Beryl.”

“Uh, okay… ”

“Can we sleep together today?”

Then he sat down on my bed and said.

The distance suddenly narrowed, so I unconsciously half-raised my body in a hesitant position.

“Go, let’s sleep together. “We continued to sleep together.”

“no. In the same bed. “Can we sleep together?”

“… yes?”

I couldn’t help but be taken aback by what followed.

The look in Lia’s eyes when she said that was extremely sincere, and she invaded my space as if she really wanted to sleep in my bed.

“Now, wait a minute, Lia, why are you suddenly like this…” ”

“not… Will it work… ”

As I pulled away, Lia lowered her head with a sullen expression.

I didn’t know what was going on, but I couldn’t say no to that face.

“Oh, no… are you okay. “Of course.”

“… !”

In the end, I ended up answering like that again.
