The Fiancee Who Betrayed Me Is Obsessed With Me

22 – Reunion (3)

Last night’s first escort mission was completed safely.

When Gion saw me walking out unharmed after entering Yuna’s room for the first time, he looked at me in astonishment, beyond surprise.

He kept asking me what happened and if I was going to be executed tomorrow, but I couldn’t tell him anything except to say that nothing bad happened.

Literally nothing special happened.

No, actually, Yuna woke up from a nightmare because of me and glared at me with the intent to kill me, but that was it.

There was nothing to say that they would kill you tomorrow or that you would be dismissed. In fact, I didn’t hear any such news the next day.

Thanks to this, I even earned the nickname among the escort knights that I was the first knight to come back from hell alive.

“How on earth have you been living, rookie?”

“They just sent it to me. “It seemed like you were having a nightmare.”

“So that doesn’t make sense?! All the other guys are dead! “Did you do anything special when you went in?”

“… The princess caught her arm as it was fluttering in the air, and she woke up. “That was it.”

“So he should have died at that moment… It doesn’t make sense… ”

In particular, Yuna’s escorts, who had already witnessed numerous deaths, could not believe the current situation even after hearing the story from me.

But in reality, that was all there was to say, so there was nothing more to say.

To be honest, I was surprised that it passed like this. Contrary to rumors, it was passed without any major punishment.

“Surely, handsome guys are different? “Did you look at me because I was handsome?”

“I don’t think so… ”

“Otherwise it’s absolutely impossible! Well, the princess is also a woman, so if she looks like this… Isn’t that right, newbie?”

For reference, this is my room. Leah was there too.

A senior who was looking closely at my face said that and raised the topic to Lia, who was sitting quietly on the other side of the bed.

Even so, he was saved because of his face. Even when I heard it, it sounded like nonsense.

“As a woman, what would it be like to look like this? Is it worth saving?”

I knew that Lia didn’t like being treated specially because she was a woman in the knights’ order, so I was curious about what the senior said.

Strangely enough, Lia was in a bad mood today, and I was worried that this senior’s words would make her mood even worse.

“surely… “I don’t think it’s possible.”

“Look! “Is that true?”

“… ? Lia, what are you talking about… ”

-5 minutes before meeting!

What kind of bullsh*t is Lia talking about? As I was doing this, I heard a voice announcing the meeting time.

We had no choice but to get up.

I also slept all morning because of work last night, and had to return in the afternoon.

To be honest, I thought that if you worked the night shift for 6 hours, you should be allowed to sleep all day, but they said that was not possible because they let you sleep before going to work.

The absolute amount of sleep time was the same, but I was still more tired.

I felt like it would take some time to get used to this life.

“The gathering of all people except workers has been completed!”

“The new recruits will be selected as escorts, and the rest will be training. And Beryl, please participate in the training as well. more!”

Since I had already decided on the escort target, it was a natural step.

I wanted to warm up a bit, so swinging the sword wasn’t a bad idea.

“… hmm? “Wait a minute, Beryl, stand by.”

Then, just as I was about to line up with my seniors and move to the training ground, the commander called me over.

“This is a call from the 4th princess. “Go to the palace garden.”

“… All right.”

The knights looked at me with pitiful expressions, and I nodded silently.

I wasn’t afraid of Yuna’s call, but swinging the sword today seemed wrong.

***

Yuuna sat alone in the garden and sipped tea in silence.

If it weren’t for her well-known evil nature, it was such a beautiful sight that it would steal all men’s hearts.

“Beryl… ”

Before she went out, she was thinking about the events of last night for a moment.

What I don’t understand the most is my own choices.

I should have been angry at the guard who arbitrarily entered my room and ordered him to cut off his head, but strangely, I didn’t feel like it.

In fact, Yuna also knew that killing the guard was wrong.

Because they were just faithful to their mission.

However, Yuna, who woke up from a nightmare, could not control her emotions, so she always killed them in the same way.

The reason he didn’t kill Beryl was, strangely enough, because he was at peace last night.

That peaceful, warm feeling was completely incomprehensible.

“Did you call me, princess?”

Beryl, who had called just in time, came to see her.

Originally, he wasn’t supposed to be the escort this time, but Yuuna called him on her own.

Because I wanted to confirm again that strange feeling I felt last night.

‘There’s nothing else… ‘

Yuna looked her up and down in silence. I didn’t feel anything special.

His expression was so cold that it was comparable to his own.

From what I heard, his skills are solid, but his personality is not that sociable.

Still, I was even more surprised that he had broken the rules and entered his room last night.

Whiing-

As they were silently looking at him, a pleasant breeze passed by the two of them.

Thanks to this, his bangs were slightly blown out, completely revealing his face, and Yuuna was able to look directly at his face.

“uh… ?”

And moment. Was it because of my mood?

His face looking down at me somehow reminded me of Ben.

Looking at it this way, he seemed quite similar to Ben.

His face wasn’t as dark as Ben’s, which was always swinging his sword in the sunlight 10 years ago.

His eyes weren’t as full of passion and joy as Ben was back then.

His face was pure white compared to his black hair, and his eyes showed no particular emotion.

Even though the hair color was different from the beginning, I felt that he had strangely similar facial features to Ben, and I could always see Ben in his face.

‘… Because there are similar people everywhere.’

Yuna, who had been imagining something absurd for a moment, shook her head.

He is a person who wisely saw himself dying 10 years ago in the first place.

And people who look like this are everywhere.

Maybe I feel this way because his dream overlapped with my dream last night.

“… “Princess?”

As I look at him without saying anything, he opens his mouth.

“I’m going down to the royal capital and need an escort, so I called. “We are leaving now.”

“… All right.”

Beryl followed Yuna without saying a word.

He was definitely the perfect person to be an escort knight.

***

I followed Yuna down to the royal road.

The purpose seemed to be shopping.

I didn’t understand why she called me instead of the designated escort, but I stayed silent and protected her.

Because the longer I was with her, the better it was for me.

In addition, there was a maid named Shien, who was already on the verge of crying.

In fact, just being with her must be scary to the maids.

From noble mtl dot com

The first place she headed to was a dressmaker. It seemed like they were trying to fit a dress together.

It was common for people of royal level to go on a business trip and have their dresses tailored.

However, sometimes there were nobles who liked to look at clothes with their own eyes, and Yuna also liked shopping in person from a young age.

This part of me still remains from when I was young, so I felt a sense of sadness in my heart.

Back then, I often picked out dresses for her.

I still clearly remember her taste in dresses.

“Oh, oh, are you here, princess?”

As soon as she entered the tailor shop, the owner greeted her with a very nervous expression.

From the looks of it, it wasn’t her first time visiting here.

And I think the owner must have been sweating every time he came.

“I’m going to look at the dress, so please get ready.”

“Yes, yep!”

“… The princess always sees dresses here, but she has never bought them. Every time the princess’s expression crumples, I sweat profusely… ?”

Shien, who was following Yuna side by side, whispers to me in a low voice.

Fortunately, it didn’t seem like anyone was killed here.

But for them, just seeing the rumored four princesses’ expressions hardening would be scary enough.

However, unlike those people who were clearly nervous, it was something else that held my thoughts.

‘It’s been a while… ‘

That’s because this dressmaker was a place we often visited when we were fiancés.

I often stopped by when I came to Helia Castle to see her, and every time, Yuna would always buy the dress I chose for her with a happy expression on her face.

Maybe Yuna was also reminiscing about that time.

No, that won’t happen. I guess it just comes to me because I’m used to it.

“This is a new product created by a famous designer in the empire. The elegant and simple lines are very… “

“I don’t like it. next.”

“Well, then how about this? Made by fusion of dresses from the Eastern Continent… ”

“Not really. next.”

“Well, well, well, then…” How about this dress… ”

“next.”

Yuna flipped through the dresses brought by designers without even trying them on.

Looking at Shien’s expression, it seemed familiar, but if it was going to be like this, it made me wonder why he came.

‘… for a moment.’

… As I was thinking that way, I was able to quickly figure out the cause.

“under… next.”

None of the clothes brought by the designers were to Yuna’s taste.

All are luxurious, adult-like dresses with long lines.

Considering Yuna’s current image, something like that might suit her well, but her tastes were completely different.

‘Apparently Yuuna liked cute dresses.’

From what I remember, her taste was for cute, princess-like dresses with lots of flowy, frilly decorations.

Of course, it was a little strange to imagine that a villainess who easily kills people would wear such a dress, but this was definitely her taste that I remember.

Actually, it was because of her expression, but her face was still cute, so I thought it would still look good on her.

“… “Hey, knight?”

I stayed quiet, walked quickly into the store, picked out a dress I thought Yuna would like, and returned.

When Shien and the designers brought in a dress with lots of cute frills that didn’t seem at all suitable for the Four Princesses, who are famous for being evil, the expressions on Shien’s and the designers’ faces turned comical.

“S-No way… “

And they seemed to read my thoughts.

Every time I took a step closer to Yuuna, they started shaking their heads like crazy.

But in my opinion, this was correct.

Even if it wasn’t, I wanted to end this meaningless shopping quickly.

“… Princess. Try this on. I think it will suit you well.”

-Quaaah… ! no… !

When the designers and Sien saw me proudly putting on the dress, they closed their eyes and fell into tears.

It was worth it. The dress I brought was a cute one that didn’t fit the image of the Four Princesses at all.

To be honest, the thought of killing people while wearing these clothes was a bit funny.

“hmm… ”

Yuna looked at the dress I brought, stroked her chin and thought for a moment.

It was a fleeting moment, but during that time, everyone in this space moved slowly, as if time was dilated.

It was so quiet that you could even hear the sound of drool flowing down your throat.

“… “Of course.”

-… ?!!!!

However, as I expected, the moment Yuna accepted the dress.

Their expressions went beyond astonishment to one of horror.

“… Are you telling me to wear it alone?”

“Oh, no, I will help you, princess!”

After she changed her dress and came out,

“Ah, ahahahaha… Well, you look good on me, princess. also!”

“Oh, it looks like the clothes have finally found their owner! Ohhohohohoho!”

They began to forcefully laugh, hiding their expressions as if they had seen something they couldn’t bear to see.

At that reaction, Yuna blushed slightly and looked around at the dress in the mirror.

“… “Let’s do this.”

Their faces were once again filled with shock as the shopping ended in just an instant.

It seems that Yuna thought that she would actually wear a dress like this.

“Yes, yes! “I will repair it and send it to the royal castle!”

“… great job.”

“Yes, eh… ?”

“Wow, this is the first time I’ve seen the princess speak like that… !”

Shien, who was also in astonishment next to me, whispers to me.

I certainly didn’t expect you to even say thank you for your hard work.

Would wearing that dress be that shocking?

… It just seemed like a good match to me.
