These days, in the Pace of Light where the Imperial Princess resides, a rumor that is hard to believe has been creeping up.

  The Imperial Princess, Alicia von Diana Soris.

  That she's in love with someone.

  "Marianne. Don't you think the Princess has something to hide from us tely?"

  "Yeah... That's right. Snow has been flying away all of a sudden tely and hasn't e back for a long time. I always fill her up, but..."

  "She keeps looking out the window and sighing deeply, or her expression suddenly bees hazy."

  Naturally, the topic of versation among the maids who serve Alicia directly was.

  The Princess, who had no i in men and never even had a fiancé, showed signs of her shy and i first love that she couldn't hide.

  "Then, that must be it, right?"

  "What are you talking about? At this point, it's almost impossible to gamble."

  "Yeah, yeah. It's clear that some dirty thief stole the i princess's heart."

  The question of who the other person was was iable.

  "How wonderful a man must he be that our princess 't e to her senses?"

  "The heir of His Highhe Grand Duke? Or, the prince of some vassal state? Holy, that would be a shame for the princess..."

  Of course, the frivolous words of the maids would not be carelessly leaked out.

  It was because of the 'Vow of Silehat was imposed on those who assisted the royal family most closely.

  The maids could never reveal to outsiders what they saw and heard ihe pace.

  On top of that, when they reached the age of marriage aired, all useless memories were erased for the sake of the royal family's security and their lives.

  Therefore, it is somewhat acceptable to gossip about the princess’s love story that stimutes the girls’ i.

  Of course, you have to avoid being caught by your superiors.

  Not even realizing that the short break is almost over. When the girls in their prime are gathered together and using their wild imaginations.

  “I, I see it a little differently.”

  “What is it, Emma?”

  “Kids, be quiet! Emma has something to say!”

  A maid who was from a powerless baron family and had a short career, so she was secretly ignored by the girls, cautiously opened her mouth.

  “Huh, ander of the Bck Lion Knights. Wolfgang von Schwarz. Isn’t that the person the princess likes?”

  “What? Hey. That’s ridiculous. Do you think that savage man would be suitable for the princess?”

  "That's right. Isn't he a total ogre? He's overly rge and his face is covered in scars. He's a battle maniad I've heard he's not ied in anything other than swordsmanship."

  "How did Bel know that...? I've never even heard of him before."

  Most people dismissed it as nonsense, but it wasn't treated as an eous rumor.

  Wolfgang of the Schwarz family wasly an unknown figure in high society.

  He was known by all sorts of ominous niames like Destroyer, Massacre, and Bloodthirsty, but he was still a war hero.

  He even showed up at the imperial ceremony hosted by the emperor himself. He was a figure that the nobles who were ied in the military knew about.

  However, he came from a family with many problems and his appearance was so fierce that he was never sidered a good groom.

  In addition, when the person rumored to be the successor to the general was suddenly demoted from a key position in the Unified and to a position as a knight ander, i in him also rapidly waned.

  "Ha, but… he even visited the Bck Lion Knights for no reason a while ago, and… even though he has a lot of scars, if you look closely, his face isn't bad either…"

  "Well, to put it nicely, he does have a kind of beastly charm. But do you really think that guy is a good match for the princess? The princess would never want a man like that…"

  "Hey, I actually like men with big muscles and rough bodies. How muen like that have at night…"

  "Ugh… Sister Leah is a pervert! Do you think the princess is like a sister?"

  That's when the versation gradually went off the rails.

  "Hey you guys! What time is it and you're still talking!"

  "Ouch! Maid!"

  The girls were chattering away without realizing how much time had passed, and the maid-in-waiting shouted at them, causing them to scatter in panic.

  "ho would say they are not the noble dies of the house? They are all pletely selfish."

  The maid-in-waiting sighed and lifted her monocle as she watched the girls running away.

  "But what oh is the princess doing, locked up in her room all day long…?"

  The maid-in-waiting muttered as she looked worriedly at Alicia's tightly locked bedroom door.

  And inside…

  —Knock, knock…

  "Haaah… Wolfgang von Schwarz. Why…? Oh, do I ck charm? You've already started senditers here and there…"

  Alicia, the i princess who had fallen deeply in love with her shy first love, was writing a sweet love letter for the lucky man who was receiving her affe.

  Alicia’s appearance, kissing the luxurious letter paper tless times and her sparkling blue eyes, looked like a girl in love to anyone.

  Although the method was slightly different.

  “The book clearly said that leaving kiss marks oter paper would set a man’s heart abze. So it would be better to leave as many as possible, right?”

  —Peck, pat… slurp…

  “I’m a little embarrassed, but I think this is enough.”

  As Wolfgang kissed the letter paper dozens of times, thinking that her master was right in front of him, the pure white paper was soon filled with symbols of Alicia’s love for her master.

  “Wow!”

  Alicia picked up her pen, shuddering cutely in deep satisfa at seeing that.

  “And… you said that most men are relut to read letters that are too long. The’s try somethihis time!”

  [I'm looking forward to it]

  Thinking like that, Alicia scribbled out a short and cise senteied it to the feet of a pure white eagle owl, a it flying.

  "Okay. Please take care of me this time, Snow?"

  —Owl!

  As the pure white eagle owl began to fp its wings, its speed soon soared to unbelievable levels.

  As expected of a princess's pet, the oh a thick flow of spirit blood possessed several mystical abilities that were different from those of ordinary eagle owls.

  One of them was the ability to share vision.

  "Are we getting there soon? Then show me what you're doing, Snow."

  —Pfft!

  As the blue light began to linger in Alicia's eyes, she was soon able to fully enjoy the bird of prey's superior vision.

  "Gyaat?!"

  Then, the sight that immediately caught Alicia’s eyes was a chaotic se of tless knights and vionsters fighting each other.

  It was a chaotic se remi of war.

  Alicia, who had been watg the se with anxious eyes, blocked the shared vision as soon as she witnessed Wolfgang knog dowant ogre with one punch.

  “Wow, you are ihe master. But, ugh…”

  The bloody battle between humans and monsters was too horrible for Alicia, who had grown up without eveing a drop of water on her hands, to watch. The se just now was even worse.

  Alicia ran straight to the bathroom in her bedroom ached, thinking.

  ‘While I was living fortably, they were doing such horrible and dangerous things…’

  She had never been ied in how the knights were doing, but she felt a surge of passion and gratitude for them.

  The i in Wolfgao i in his job.

  "Ah, I should visit him more often from now on."

  However, Alicia's mood improved a little when she realized that Wolfgang was not ied in her but was busy with work and could not send her letters.

  Also, whetle was finally over and news came that Snow had finished delivering the letters.

  She decided to let Snow watch Wolfgang a little longer rather than making him e back right away.

  It had been quite some time since she st saw her master.

  "Okay, Snow. Please show me your face."

  —Paat!

  So, she shared her vision with Snoas h in the sky near where Wolfgang was, with a poundi.

  "That, that female cat!"

  She saw a blue-haired woman walking affeately with Wolfgang in pin clothes in the ercial district of Bartok's ties.

  The two of them were having a friendly versation, and Alicia felt like she was going crazy, but unfortunately she couldn’t share her hearing with Snow.

  However, Alicia could clearly see the female cat making a vulgar female expressioo Wolfgang.

  “T-this…!”

  Alicia felt something snap in her heart.

  “This ’t be happening! I should be the first for you, Master, but if I keep doing this, that b*tch will be first…!”

  She thought as she bit her nails.

  When Wolfgaurns to the capital, she’ll definitely have to kill him.

  ‘It’s a little early, but. I ’t help it…’

  “Whew…”

  After replying to the princess’s eerie letter as sincerely as possible.

  There was nothing I could do about it right away, so I was just lying in bed and rolling around.

  —Knoock!

  When I heard a knock, I got up right away and opehe door.

  Then, an unfamiliar peared before my eyes.

  Her sky-blue hair looked familiar, but no matter how I looked at it, it was someone I had never seen before.

  An attractive woman with slightly curly hair that was long and loose.

  Overall, she was smaller than the princess, but her body shape was just as provocative, and she was a very impressive beauty.

  Her beauty looked slightly proud, ae her petite body, her curves were so revealing that they almost seemed immoral.

  What about her clothes that were mysteriously in harmony with her features?

  The blouse that slightly revealed her sternum and the tight pants that emphasized her rather long and firm lower body pared to her small height were very impressive.

  Such a fancy outfit is popur among the women of the Empire.

  It seems that the world has ged a lot during the war. It doesn’t matter because it looks good.

  Anyway, there’s no way that a heretiquisitor would wear such clothes. If that’s the case, then who else would e to see me…

  “Excuse me, dy? Are you the security agent who was supposed to e?”

  When I asked carefully, I received a pletely ued answer.

  “I’m ing, ander!”

  The void tone were familiar. The expression seemed somewhat disappointed. Could it be one of my subordinates?

  Could it be that she was a woman who showed regret for nnizing me right away, beyond a subtle sense of intimacy…

  “Could it be… the viander?”

  "Yes. Now that I think about it, this is the first time I've met you in pin clothes."

  It was a truly jaw-dropping transformation.

  A woman's transformation is not a crime, but isn't this too extreme?

  With her hair down and her clothes ged, I couldn't reize her at all. Judging from the fact that her face looks a little different, did she even put on makeup?

  "No. I didn't reize her because she looked so different from usual. She's so beautiful."

  "Again, such direct words... Ahem. Anyway, thank you, Captain."

  It's o see you, but now that you're probably not going to enjoy the vacation you've been given, why did you e to see me?

  "But what's going on? Even dressed like that."

  When I asked that question out of curiosity, the Vice Captain's face turned a little red.

  “Aren’t you the savior of my life, ander? Of course, I will have to repay this favor for the rest of my life, but I still want to express my gratitude a little…”

  “No. It is only natural for allies to exge favors otlefield. There is o repay it. ime, you save my life.”

  How rades fighting back to ba the battlefield talk about being the savior of their lives?

  When I showed a slight expression of refusal due to the burden, she hurriedly put her foot through the cra the door.

  How did she know that I was going to close the door?

  “No, but I feel too bad about just letting it go. S-please treat me to a meal…”

  “Take me to a meal?”

  Now that I think about it, I do feel a little drawn to some delieat.

  It’s been a long time since I’ve had a proper dinner because I’ve been so busy. It’s been about two weeks.

  It would be a bit awkward to just let him go, and si came to this, it wouldn’t be bad to have a meal with the vice-captain.

  “Do you like meat?”

  “Yes. Of course I don’t hate it…” “Just wait outside for a moment. It’ll only take 3 minutes.”

  —Bam!

  I closed the door and got dressed.

  I didn’t bring any proper clothes except for my armor and uniform, but since I ended up losing them while fighting the monsters, I prepared some simple shirts and pants.

  —Jiing!

  I raised my fingers and quickly fihe ve shave that erhuman’s privilege, and after fixing my spiky hair, I looked someresentable.

  “Let’s go.” “Yes! Captain!”

  —Gnce

  But why didn’t that pure white eagle owl go bad keep cirg around?

  “Captain. Do you happen to know what the specialty of Bartok ty is?”

  "I don't know. But thanks to you, I've just bee ied. What is it?"

  "That's…"

  I went out into the street with the vice-captain, who seemed to be full of enthusiasm for some reason.
