Chapter 44: Showing Off
The Great Tomb of Nasalik was once again hidden.
The movement they made was so great that even the kingdom was under a lot of pressure, and spies from all over the world, large and small, sent people to the great forest outside the fortress city of Ye Lantil to find out the information.
The Great Tomb of Nasalik is in danger of being exposed at any moment.
The flying squirrel has had a headache about this matter I don't know how many times.
Kingdom of Ri Jestijah.
Unlike the nobles who are anxious every day, Princess Lana has been very happy these days. The failure of the demon invasion means that this world can still be sacrificed by her to the Demon Lord in exchange for some treasures.
Although she didn't know who stopped the Demon Lord, it was clear that this matter was not in her consideration.
At least not for now.
Princess Lana has increased her lifespan by a hundred years, and her body is still young until she dies.
The last imperfection on her pretty face is gone, and even if she doesn't practice smiling secretly in the mirror at night, she can smile with a sense of "sincerity" at any time.
This made Clem, a knight, afraid to look directly at his direct boss, Princess Lana, in recent days.
Her Royal Highness's smile seemed to have a kind of magic, and as long as he looked at him, his heart would beat violently.
This is a fatal mistake for a warrior who has been training under the Warrior Commander of the Kingdom for many years.
As soon as Clem thought of the death of the warrior he trained on weekdays, the light in his eyes couldn't help but dim.
The kingdom's army stationed outside the Great Forest, except for the two nobles and their few private soldiers, everyone else
Because of the constant friction with the empire every year, a new round of conscription began within the kingdom. This time, no one thought it was a good errand to go to the Great Forest.
If you don't get there, you're going to die!
There is an undercurrent surging in the kingdom, and there are precursors of impending storms, which even Clem, a dumb knight who only knows how to be loyal to Princess Lana, can feel it.
One day.
Clem was practicing his sword when he was called out to the maid in the palace of Her Royal Highness the Princess.
Clem, who was dressed in silver-white bright armor, didn't say much, Princess Lana called him more often on weekdays, and he didn't care about it this time.
Whether it's a small thing or a big thing, he, Clem, will definitely go up the knife mountain and down the sea of fire for Princess Lana, and he will not give up on life and death!
After all, his life was given by Princess Lana.
In Clem's heart, there is no one who can compare to Princess Lana, not even the legendary angel, right?
As a knight, even though his strength is not good, his hearing is still excellent. From the corridor, you can hear the voice of Her Royal Highness talking and laughing, and it seems that Princess Lana is in a good mood.
Thinking of this, a smile tugged at the corner of Clem's mouth, but then disappeared.
With a solemn and serious expression, he knocked on the door.
"Is it Clem?"
A crisp female voice came from inside the room.
The maid replied, "Yes, Your Highness Princess." ”
"Let him in."
The maid then pushed open the door and made a "please" gesture to Clem.
Clem nodded to the maid and walked inside.
Princess Lana's reception room, except for His Royal Highness the Second Prince and Marquis Ren, I believe that he is the only male who has ever entered, which makes Clem feel very honored in his heart.
The window, which occupies almost half of the wall, is wide open, and the breeze outside blows the first layer of light veil of the inner curtain.
It's tea time.
As a knight, Clem subconsciously observed the situation in the room, which was something that Gerdjieff had taught him.
Clem was stunned.
He had heard the laughter of Her Royal Highness the Princess in the corridor before, and he thought it was the captain of the Rose Adventure Team.
Unexpectedly, sitting across from Her Royal Highness the Princess was a girl in a black dress he had never seen before.
'Could it be that she is the daughter of some great nobleman?' ’
The idea flashed through Clem's mind, but was quickly rejected.
The daughters of the noble families in the kingdom will not sit with Her Royal Highness the princess no matter what, at most they will only be inserted by the big nobles to become the maids who serve the princess and act as the eyeliner of various families.
As Princess Lana's "confidant," Clem has never seen a young lady sitting across from Princess Lana.
can
The long black dress was a style he had never seen before, the skirt was about to drag to the ground, and the girl did not maintain a ladylike sitting position like Princess Lana, but playfully put her little shoes under the table like a little girl, and stepped on the brisk beat from time to time.
With two ponytails and closed eyes, it seems to be enjoying a rare afternoon tea.
The long eyelashes were eye-catching on top of the creamy skin, but even so, Clam looked elsewhere. The little tear mole under the corner of the girl's eye tightly tied Clem's eyes.
"Click~"
"Click~"
At the first sound, the maid outside the house closed the door to prevent disturbing the afternoon tea between Her Royal Highness the Princess and her friends.
The second sound was the sound of the girl putting down the teacup and the base touching the table.
The long eyelashes suddenly flipped upward, and in an instant, even took away the magic of the tear mole.
The wine red bloomed, and Clem's heart tightened, and the girl looked at him expressionlessly.
Clem's body stiffened, and he didn't know what was going on, and the muscles in his body became numb, as if he had stayed for two or three seconds at the end of a lonely night after performing the Five Dragons Holding Jade Pillar Divine Skill.
As if to scrutinize, Clam raised his head and tucked his abdomen, unconsciously completing such an action. It's as if the one who examined him was a great big man.
"Alright, Kurumi. You're scaring the lovely Clem. ”
Clem's body stiffened even more.
He had never heard Her Royal Highness say such an outrageous thing.
'Cute? ’
Shouldn't a warrior say strong or something?
Today it seems that I have disgraced Her Royal Highness the Princess.
Clem used his brain circuitry to figure everything out in an instant.
Take a half step forward and get down on one knee in salute.
Bow your head: "Your Royal Highness, Princess." ”
"Clem, didn't I say that? There is no need to bow in private. ”
"Yes"
"Get up."
With the sound of metal grinding, Clem, whose body was surrounded by armor, stood up.
'It seems that she has a very close relationship with Her Royal Highness, but why have I never met her?' Not to mention I've seen it, I've never even heard of it. Could it be that she is the princess of another country? ’
Clem was so confused that he didn't know what he was supposed to think.
"How?" Princess Lana was quite expectant, and Clem didn't squint, he knew that Her Royal Highness the princess was asking about the thrillingly beautiful girl opposite.
"The will is acceptable, the talent is extremely poor, and if there is no opportunity, there is no hope for the hero field for life."
Clem gritted his teeth and said nothing.
