The Grand Duchess Is Defeated Again Today

The princess runs away.

The commander of the Imperial Knights, Veronica, could be sure that she had never shed such a cold sweat in her life.

“Where did you go?”

“Young-ae, calm down for a moment.”

“Where did you go?”

“····.”

The reason is none other than a young noblewoman who is looking at her with a terrifying expressionless expression.

She was a very beautiful woman. thought Veronica.

The red hair of the long, twintails was enough to attract the attention of many men.

The red and white dress was a good match for her eye-catching hair.

If it wasn’t for those empty red eyes that were pointing towards her, I would have thought she was the most beautiful woman in the empire.

“Should I say it again? Don’t you mean what I’m saying?”

“It’s not…”

“If it’s not that, tell me right now. Where did you go, the damn prince?”

“····.”

Isn’t that figure the most terrifying grim reaper in the world, let alone the most beautiful woman in the empire?

When she was strict, her mother, who was stricter than anyone else, had never given her this feeling.

It was the first time that she, the most outstanding knight in the Empire, had made her feel this way.

“Young-ae. I think we need to be a little more serious.”

“····.”

“It is true that Young-ae’s fiancée disappeared with the Crown Prince, but we are also preparing to find the Crown Prince, so we would appreciate your patience.”

That’s why some of them showed a serious sign.

It’s natural for a normal noble girl to be frightened when she sees her transformation as a knight leader.

Because the young girl standing in front of her now was no ordinary young girl.

Although he felt a little guilty, he showed a strong sign.

“·······What to do.”

“····.”

“I’m not asking for help. I’m just asking you to tell me which way you went. Is it that difficult?”

Of course, it was true that the young Ae in front of him did not seem to have any effect at all.

“····.”

By this point, her self-esteem had reached a level where her self-esteem was hurting.

Even if she endured to call the Crown Prince, who was like her boss, half-spoken, or to put the word “bastard” in front of the word Crown Prince, it was hard to bear ignoring her.

No matter how young she is from a noble family, she is also the leader of the Imperial Knights, the number one knight in the empire.

What kind of family is this young-ae standing proudly in front of her?

“············· Young-ae, what you just said…”

I mean, I can send such a disrespectful gaze…

At that moment, fragments of memories passed through Veronica’s head.

– Who just told you to be careful…

– Rebecca Valencia, the only daughter of the Duke of Valencia. She’d better watch out for you too.

– . . . . . . . . . . . No matter how much, I am the leader of the Imperial Knights…

– I’ve clearly warned you, so take care of your next steps.

– ···.

It was the memory of the Crown Prince, who had always called her busy and spoke nonsense, warned her with a serious expression.

At the time, it was passed without a second thought.

It doesn’t take a day or two for the Crown Prince to call her and talk nonsense. I thought it was a story that should flow as usual.

– Did you hear the news?

– What?

– The only daughter of the Duke of Valencia made the Auror?

– ······really?

Until I heard the gossip of my fellow members with my own ears.

For swordsmen and knights, an auror was a kind of symbol.

A certain amount of talent is of course required, but it is a state that cannot be obtained only by talent.

The realm of Auror was reached only by those who practiced sincere efforts.

Such an Auror, a young lady from a high noble family.

The news that a girl who hadn’t even held a coming-of-age ceremony did it.

It was by no means an illusion that the warning that the Crown Prince had given me came to mind again.

Was it from then?

Veronica started investigating the person named ‘Rebecca Valencia’ in her own way.

It wasn’t that they did research until they spent money or people.

– Did you hear that?

– What again this time?

– The daughter of the Duke of Valencia, whom I mentioned last time, is said to have a high level of magic.

-······The last time you woke up the Auror.

– So! Isn’t this the magic swordsman you just listened to?

Rebecca, the Duke of Valencia, has heard just how great Valencia is just by hearing from people around her.

magic swordsman.

A term used to refer to a person who has mastered both fields of magic and swordsmanship at a high level and freely utilizes both of them in battle.

However, unlike this grand introduction. Most of the magic swordsmen had almost no real force.

It is never easy to deal with one field at a high level, and you have to raise two fields, not just one, to a level level.

It couldn’t have been that easy.

It was true that among the people who generally call themselves a magic swordsman, there was not a single person who could handle Aurors.

Princess Valencia was different.

According to the rumors already heard, she was a genius among the geniuses who realized Auror earlier.

If it was true that Princess Valencia was able to handle magic at a high level, it might have been a true magic swordsman of this era.

Only after such rumors spread.

At that point, Veronica stopped listening to the rumors of Princess Valencia.

Anyway, if you hear more, all you will get is awe and a sense of inferiority, and if you ever hear the news that she was trying to dig up information in the ears of a princess who said that she has a personality that is inversely proportional to her skills.

Because that was the most terrible thing in the world.

She was the one who stopped getting information about the only daughter of the Duke of Valencia in order to save her life.

“····.”

Why does the noble young-ae standing in front of her feel familiar?

Veronica’s instinct, who was silently watching the situation in her head, was shouting.

“······························ Young-ae, what is the name of the fiancée who went missing along with the Crown Prince, by any chance?”

If you want to live, at least if you want to live the rest of your life like a human, don’t provoke the mysterious noble girl.

“…Alber Xernias.”

After thinking for a while, Rebecca, a mysterious young girl presumed to be Valencia, showed a questionable face and told her the name of her fiancée.

“····.”

It was a name Veronica was familiar with.

Because it was a name that appeared as the fiancée of the Princess of Valencia among the names that the Crown Prince occasionally uttered without thinking.

and.

“The Crown Prince headed over there at the start of the hunting competition.”

“····.”

“Our knights will quickly lower the Crown Prince… No, we will do our best to find the princess’s fiancée.”

Veronica was more faithful to her survival instinct than anyone else.

***

“······Haste.”

When the light chanting was over, Rebecca’s feet became lighter.

The skirt hem of the long draped dress was a hindrance to running.

The weight of the dress itself was barely noticeable due to the weight reduction magic applied, so I was able to focus on running while accepting the stumbling block.

In fact, it was still very late.

It had been quite some time since the hunting tournament started.

If her fiance hadn’t stopped moving, it wouldn’t be strange to have reached the deepest part of the forest.

That fact made her steps with Haste magic made faster.

The wild animals that existed inside the forest were not scary.

According to the people she heard, a prince who is uselessly good at swordsmanship seems to be with her fiancée.

Because her fiancé wasn’t weak enough to be harmed by the wild animals her fiancé would have hunted.

The scary thing was people, not animals.

The news that the Crown Prince, the only heir to the Empire, will participate in this hunting competition, is a fact that everyone in the Empire knows.

It was not at all strange that the anti-imperial nobles sent assassins to assassinate the Crown Prince.

Besides, it was her fiance who had already been attacked by an assassin once.

Even if the assassins were aiming for a saint in the garden, not her and Albert.

Doesn’t that erase the fact that he was attacked by assassins?

At the time, it was Rebecca, who was still guarding her fiancé, who had been hit by a poisoned arrow.

The emotion she felt then was helplessness.

A sense of helplessness engulfed her body, unable to do anything for her fiancé, who was struck by a poisoned arrow instead of her.

Fortunately, thanks to the saint, Estelle, who happened to arrive at the Imperial Palace, her fiancée was able to get up without any after-effects.

It was by no means unreasonable that the feeling of helplessness she felt was engraved deep in Rebecca’s heart.

Of course, it was still difficult to understand why she felt this way.

Obviously, the other person is just a mean person who has always tormented her.

I’m just a person who is engaged in a forced relationship by both parents.

Why, for what reason, does it hurt so much to imagine Albert collapsed?

Is it because the memories of the time when Albert was shot with a poisoned arrow instead of her come to mind and torment her?

I couldn’t quite understand it though.

At least, one thing was certain.

“·······Just try to get hurt with the handkerchief I gave you. I really won’t let you go.”

Her heart, who is honest with herself more than anyone else, doesn’t want to see her fiance get hurt.

“Haste.”

He once again grants himself a speedy magic that is almost ineffective.

Rebecca ran to the heart of the forest.
