There were a few minor is.

  Fortunately, the princess's visit to the unit, which was full of talk and trouble, was ing to an end without any major is.

  "The schedule is almost over. You've worked really hard, Vice-Captain."

  "No. It's all thanks to the captain's strong support."

  "Holy, what did I do? You did all the actual work."

  The vice-captain in particur worked really hard.

  Even though the princess only looked around the unit roughly, it was her credit that she was able to fix the Knights' headquarters, which was a mess, to a det level within a short period of time.

  The vice-captain showed excellent crisis ma skills as if this wasn't the first or sed time this had happened, and thanks to her, my trust in her increased even more.

  Meanwhile, I think I've already shown you most of the facilities of the Bck Lion Knights that I brag about to the princess.

  Now, there's o make the princess stay here any longer.

  I feel sorry for the subordinates who are stu the headquarters barracks, anxious and uo do anything.

  Everyone has been w hard day and night for several days, so I should at least let them leave work early today. No matter how strong the knights are, physical aal fatigue are separate issues.

  —Tread, step

  But why has the princess been walking silently since a while ago?

  Even without that, the princess of the empire came to meet a mere knight ander in person, so I was feeling uneasy because I ended up not being able to have a proper versation with her.

  That's why I was just thinking about whether I should force myself to make room after all the schedule was over.

  —Creepy!

  A chill suddenly ran down my spine.

  'What is it?'

  In addition to the five senses, humans have another sense.

  It is only referred to as the sixth sense.

  In general, it is simply treated as a different name for inousness, but wheering the realm of superhumans, the story is different.

  In critical moments where life ah are at stake, such as on a battlefield, the sixth sense sometimes acts as a more powerful basis for judgment than the five senses.

  But in this peaceful moment, my sixth sense is sending me a small warning signal.

  It was strange.

  However, it was literally a small warning signal, so it shouldn't be a big deal.

  Of course, sihe princess is here, I wasn't having any pt thoughts.

  Currently, the Bck Lion Knights are almost guaranteed absolute safety by the imperial guard and the ander-level guards that I personally selected.

  Since I am personally guarding the princess, the possibility of something dangerous happening is extremely low.

  Maybe it was just a warning sign that something a little unfortunate might happen today.

  No matter how high you reach, yut instinct is not something to be trusted in a critical situation.

  Even outside of the battlefield, people who rely on their gut instinct all day are often called delusional or paranoid.

  It's nht to be overly cautious. Just being scious is enough.

  Thinking that, I gnced up at the sky and saw that the sun was already halfway through the sky.

  It was early m when the princess and her party had just arrived at the guard post, so quite some time had passed.

  I asked the princess, who had been holding onto the hem of her skirt and twiddling her fingers with a strange blush, for her opinion.

  "Princess. This cludes our iion tour of the Bck Lion Knights. Is there anywhere else you would like to see or anything else you would like to know?"

  Then, the princess raised her head a my eyes directly, giving me an inexplicable smile.

  "I don't have anything else to ask, but there is a pce I want to look around a little more."

  "I see? Then where else..."

  As expected, it seemed that one of the facilities articurly impressive.

  'That makes sense.'

  The Bck Lion Knights' grounds are quite rge, and there are quite a few facilities that stand out here and there.

  Holy, I was a little disappoihat they were so indifferent to my and my subordinates' efforts.

  As I answered in a carefree mahe princess's cold blue eyes tio stare into mine.

  I'm not used to dealing with women. But I wasn't so iive that I couldn't even reize that kind of signal.

  'It's e.'

  They must want to have a private versation with me.

  It was something I had been prepared for from the beginning.

  "Vice-captain. You go now. Since all the scheduled activities are over, I think it's enough for me to guide you alone."

  "Yes. Uood. Then…"

  The vice-captain immediately bowed to the princess auro the headquarters barracks with measured steps.

  Sihe moment she hesitated during the inauguration ceremony, she has never once refuted an ave her.

  Also, it was fortuhat the meetiweewo women ended on a good note.

  Although they had a bit of an argument, judging by the princess's expression, it seemed that there was no ill feelings between them.

  'Well, in the end, they seemed to recile.'

  To be ho, I was a little worried because the vice-captain was ag overly fident in front of the princess.

  It was absolutely uable for her, a precious subordio be dragged away for the crime of insulting the royal family.

  "Hoohoo…"

  When the vice-captain was no longer in sight, the princess smiled and pursed her lips, lookiremely refreshing.

  "You said Mo Square? That pce where the lion statue that looked exactly like you was. I'd like to see that pore time."

  "Yes. Then I'll take you there."

  Mo Square.

  It's called a square, but it has a strong meaning as a kind of sanctuary, so no one visits it uhere's an importa like a memorial service or a military departure ceremony.

  In other words, it was the perfect pce for a private meeting.

  Acc to the report of the 4th Huh Captain, there was a ret romaween a female knight and a servant under his and, and the pce where they had their secret meeting was right here.

  Well, sihey were both good friends, they didn't give him any heavy punishment other than a light disciplinary a for publidecy.

  It was truly something that would make the previous Bck Lion Knights shed tears from the sky.

  But when oh did the princess see this? As expected, the royal family has a wider field of vision than ordinary people.

  Just as I was about to ehe very small artificial forest path leading to the mo square.

  "Give me your hand." "Yes?"

  The princess made a remark that embarrassed me greatly.

  "Even Coco, who is raised in the front yard of the vil, gives it to me right away if I ask for a hand, so how someone who is bigger than an orot uand that?"

  "Wait. What are you doing, Princess?

  —Sudden!

  Without any time to say anything, I had no choice but to let the frail Princess, who I could easily subdue with just one finger, hold my hand.

  The Princess began to examine my lumpy and hideous hands as if she was curious.

  "Your hands are really huge. They must be twice the size of mine. With those big, rough grips, I… "

  "Princess. You're pying a little too much."

  At that embarrassing act, I tried to stop myself with a serious expression, fearing that someone might see me, even though it was impossible.

  "Huh! Why? That night, you hugged my body tightly, covered my mouth, and sniffed my hair… "

  At the princess's words, I kept my mouth shut and couldn't say anything.

  "I'm sorry. You do whatever you want." "Hehehe..."

  It was a hand with nothing but scars and calluses.

  My teacher always nagged me about my hands being so big that I had to eat a lot.

  It was nothing more than an eyesore that shouldn't be shown to someone who was the princess of the empire.

  "Huh..."

  But why was the princess putting her white, soft hand on my palm and making a strange sn sound.

  She was even looking at me with a look of satisfa.

  I felt like I could die from embarrassment.

  "Ah! Lord Wolfgang. Your face is red."

  "Huh? You 't possibly be..."

  "Uh-huh... So you're a human after all, not a monster made of steel. How cute... "

  You blushed in front of others?

  Me?

  I couldn't believe it. The princess must have misuood something.

  All knights are superhumans.

  And superhumans trol areas of their bodies that ordinary people 't reae extent. Even blood circution is one of the easiest parts to trol.

  And otlefield, one of the things you shouldn't reveal the most is your vital points aional ges. It's just this, this trivial thing...

  It seems like I'm not in a position to criticize others for being dull.

  I guess the month of rest must have made me a little rusty without me knowing it.

  However, the princess's story that followed made me e to my senses again.

  "Sir Wolfgang. I've been thinking about it for a long time sihat day, but I don't think I just let that night go."

  It seems like it's not the time to be embarrassed by something trivial.

  "I'm just embarrassed. What should I do about this great sin?"

  "Extremely honorific. I'm sure you told me not to use it? You should speak informally instead."

  "I'm sorry."

  The words of the royal family have great power in themselves.

  If the princess feels ashamed because of that day and wants to execute me, I should go up to the execution stand without a trial.

  For the people of the empire, the royal bloodline has such absolute power.

  Because those with the blood of heaven flowing through them have the right to dispose of those who crawl on the ground as they please.

  "I've been thinking a lot about what to do with you. Even now, when I think about that day, my head gets hot and my stomach starts pounding. How could that be?"

  "...."

  "Sir Wolfgang. I bet you hought you'd just get away with it, right?"

  "Yes. That's right. I'll gdly accept whatever punishment you give me."

  "Hmm. There are so many things I want to do with you, but..."

  Gulp.

  I couldn't help but swallow my saliva ireme tension.

  The crimes itted against the royal family are not subjeunity.

  My loot and gifts, evehree indulgences granted by the royal family, were nothing more than pieces of trash.

  'Is my life over?'

  Was the ominous feeling I felt earlier, the warning from my sixth sense, meant to foretell what was to e?

  Now that the war is over, there are no more old subordinates who have to take responsibility for my life, and I have s about my family and position.

  However, I feel sorry for the Bck Lion Knights who have finally started to follow me to some extent.

  What will bee of me now?

  If you think about it, what happehat night was just bad luck, but in any case, it wasn't pletely my fault.

  That's why I don't feel wronged. Even if I do feel wronged, I don't think I'll resist with force. I clearly itted a crime that 't be resolved with an indulgence.

  Resisting with force after itting such a serious crime is something only a gangster would do.

  Power exists to defeat enemies otlefield, suppress injustice, and protect the weak, not to be wielded freely.

  While thinking that and slowly preparing myself, the princess's lips finally parted.

  Torture? Execution? Or, extermination?

  Surprisingly, it wasn't any of the three.

  "First, hold my hand straight. So that I feel your body temperature properly. Like ing it tightly." "Yes?"

  I was pletely dazed by the ued flow, but for now, I followed the princess's instrus.

  "Hehe. Why are you so surprised? I'm going to make you do much more from now on."

  It didn't seem like it was meant to be humiliating. What oh was the iion?

  —Hug

  "Ah... I'm already feeling a little better. Let's walk together like this for a bit."

  "...I'll follow your orders."

  What oh did the princess want to do?

  "Hehe~ There's no one around. No female cats. Just the two of us. It's perfect."

  Judging from the fact that she was even humming, it seemed like she wasn't feeling angry or upset, so it was a blessing in disguise.

  As I walked, holding the princess's hand tightly, half-scious,

  Before I k, her and I had reached our destination, the mo square.

  "This is probably good. You should be fag the sunlight so that you see it well."

  The priurned around, looking at the huge bck marble statue of the bck lion from afar, and said, holding onto the hem of her skirt with both hands.

  I still have no idea what she wants.

  "Because of you, I 't even do my hobbies, so I'm already a bit stressed out."

  "I'm sorry."

  To be ho, it's a bit hard to even follow the flow of the versation.

  What oh am I going through?

  "Again, again, I'm sorry. You should restrain yourself from now on. That's not your role."

  "..."

  "Well, then your first role is... I guess I'll just be a bystander."

  The princess's aade it impossible for me to do anything, or even think properly.

  What is this moment that I'm experieng right now, what is this sight that I'm seeing right now?

  Was she perhaps dreaming of a midsummer night's dream that she had only heard of?

  "Haa, haa… Who, don't look away."

  The princess of the empire.

  Alicia von Diana Soris.

  To a man who had only had a strange one-night stand, and who was now looking for a new retionship after overing the scars of war.

  She lifted up her pure white skirt.

  She was pletely horny, and was exposing her most precious part as a woman, dripping a transparent, sticky liquid.
