A suggestive room.

Pink wallpaper and a fluffy carpet create a pink, pink atmosphere.

 

 

Moreover, dolls and cushions were placed everywhere, and the attached bathroom right next to it, and the various beds placed unnecessarily, hinted at the purpose of this room.

 

 

Perhaps that’s why the expressions of the woman silently drinking tea and those attending her were extremely cold.

 

 

If this was the only room available, it would be understandable, but out of so many rooms, to guide me specifically to this place and then grin like that, what kind of manners are those?

I wanted to tear down this castle and butcher the pig in front of me right away.

 

 

But I couldn’t do that.

 

 

Even though his title was low, the Amar estate he owned was of considerably high quality. In modern terms, you could call it a ‘honey land’.

 

 

It had agricultural productivity capable of self-sufficiency and even selling surplus products to the outside, a port city that could trade with other countries or other cities within the country, and even a mine producing high-quality iron ore.

And even an outstanding knight force.

 

 

If you only consider the potential, it is evaluated as superior to the Reisha County right next to it, and he is invited to many noble gatherings, and is gradually establishing a position in the ‘Central Noble Council’, a kind of noble council and social gathering.

 

 

So, no matter who she is, he can’t just overturn everything because of a mere feeling or nuance.

 

 

Of course, if he openly ignored or flirted with her, even if he were a Marquis or Duke, not just a Baron, his estate would have been blown away, but unfortunately, he wasn’t that stupid.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“When I saw you from afar the other day, I lowered my head because you were so dazzling, but now that I am seeing you up close like this, I don’t know where to look because of your endless beauty.”

 

 

Baron Amar looked at the woman with gleaming eyes.

 

 

With her long red hair reminiscent of a ripe apple, she possessed something that his wife, concubines, or maids could never approach.

It wasn’t just that she was beautiful, but she also had the dignity of royalty. You could dare to say that this woman is ‘walking royalty’.

 

If possible, no, even if it’s impossible, a dark desire to somehow get her came up from within.

 

 

The desire was so strong that the woman facing him immediately noticed.

A chill ran down his spine as if bugs were crawling all over his body, and he shuddered without realizing it, and the knight standing behind her reached for the sword hilt.

 

“I will cut him down.”

“Pardon?”

“Stop it.”

 

 

Ssiing!

 

 

By the time Baron Amar’s absent-minded utterance and the woman’s quiet command began, the knight’s sword had already come out of its sheath and was heading for his neck.

 

 

A furious sprint.

It seemed as if it would cut off the neck of a fragile human being and even cut down this suggestive room with its disgusting atmosphere.

 

 

But heeding the Princess’s solemn words, he retrieved it.

 

 

The sword that had reached near his neck was now tucked away in its sheath, as if it had never been out.

Except for the fact that a long, thin blood vessel appeared on Baron Amar’s neck and the room behind him was a mess.

 

 

When the Baron blankly dropped the cookie he was holding, his knights, who hadn’t even reacted properly, flinched and frantically debated whether to reach for their sword hilts or not.

As knights hired and raised to protect him, they should naturally draw their swords, but the opponent was too formidable to do so.

 

None other than the country’s Princess.

If they even put a finger on their swords and it was misrepresented as ‘the Baron’s knight pointed a sword at the Princess,’ the knight in question, as well as the Baron family itself, could be destroyed.

 

 

Even in the atmosphere that had frozen in an instant, the Princess leisurely lifted her teacup. The elegantly raised pinky finger was the point.

 

“What kind of attitude is that without warning? How undignified.”

 

 

She drank her tea alone in the quiet, then continued speaking.

 

 

“Act elegantly.”

“…I’m sorry.”

The knight obediently lowered his head and took a step back.

 

 

That charisma that makes a knight who can neutralize everyone in this room in just one second follow her without a peep.

Truly beautiful and magnificent.

 

 

“You too, take away that unpleasant gaze. I’m not your concubine, am I?”

“Hmm…hmm..I’m..sorry.”

 

The Baron also lowered his head, averting his unnecessary gaze.

Anyway, it wouldn’t be good to upset her.

 

 

 

“Also, I hope you don’t misunderstand. I’m here as the head of the Knights Order, to ensure the fairness of the Knight Battle, not because your power reaches the royal family.”

“O-Of course, Your Highness the Princess.”

 

The Baron answered, sweating profusely.

He was showing a desperate appearance to show some manners, but rather, it lowered the Princess’s mood even more.

 

 

First of all, his appearance was an automatic out.

 

His almost bald head, aged skin, and fat body like a back alley pig gave a very unpleasant feeling not only as a woman but also as a knight.

On top of that, he was sweating so profusely that it went beyond feeling bad and even felt disgusting.

 

 

If she hadn’t been educated in etiquette for a long time and trained as a magnificent knight, she would have shown that disgust on her face.

And she would have said in a cold tone. Get lost.

 

 

Of course, even now, she was receiving a tremendous temptation to leave this place at every moment.

 

 

 

Tok.

 

 

She put down her teacup and wiped her mouth with a napkin.

She didn’t even want to touch the refreshments on the plate.

First of all, getting out of here is the top priority.

 

 

“I will stay here for two days and then go to the Reisen Barony. You have prepared all the materials, right?”

“Of course, Your Highness the Princess.”

 

 

The materials refer to the list of items to be transferred to the other party through the Knight Battle, and the items that can be moved immediately among those listed.

Usually, when it happens by mutual agreement, they set similar conditions, but in this case, the Amar Baron family unilaterally initiated the estate battle, so the risk was much higher on the Amar side.

 

 

For example, in the case of the Reisen Barony, if Baron Reisen listed becoming Baron Amar’s concubine, some property lists, and part of the estate, Baron Amar would not become the other party’s concubine, but would transfer his Baron status and Baron estate to Baron Reisen, and at the same time, he would become a commoner.

 

 

Moreover, since he transfers almost all of his property, if he loses, he will become a commoner who is barely able to live.

 

 

Of course, if that happens, he will lose all of his many concubines and maids, so he may even lose the reason for his life.

 

“As I mentioned in the official letter, the items listed will be temporarily stored in our Knights Order. After the matter is over, we will return them then, or transfer them.”

“I look forward to seeing you again.”

 

 

Standing up following the Princess, the pig Baron gave a bitter smile.

It was a somewhat different feeling from him sweating just a moment ago.

 

 

“Then I’ll be leaving now.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

.

.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Ah. That pig bastard, really.”

 

When the Princess’s party left the Baron’s room and were alone, one of the knights blurted out in a rough voice.

A rough behavior that you would never think of as a woman who received advanced education.

The aggressiveness that tried to cut off the Baron’s neck without hesitation, even though it was only an attempt, was revealed in her words.

 

 

“Princess-nim, why did you stop me? That pig bastard’s actions deserve to have his neck cut off.”

 

A suggestive room deliberately selected by someone, gleaming eyes, and a disgusting appearance.

Everyone was angry at the sight of him having all three elements.

 

 

They hadn’t stepped forward like her, but in their hearts, they had butchered the Baron’s body a hundred times.

 

“No matter how upset I am, I can’t punish him just for that. We’re not barbarians, are we?”

“Still….”

 

The Princess smiled.

 

 

“I can do it anytime. Beheading a pervert without such qualities. So there’s no need to do it today.”

“Is that so?”

 

 

At the sight of her tilting her head and asking, she chuckled softly.

 

“Yes. Someday, he will surely make a big mistake, that person.”

 

And when that time comes, I will behead him without hesitationㅡ,

 

 

She hastened her steps, omitting the rest of her words.

Because she didn’t want to breathe the same air as that pig even for a moment.

 

 

 

 

“But Princess-nim.”

 

This time, another knight asked a question.

It was not the hot-tempered female knight, but a handsome man neatly groomed.

 

“This Knight Battle, is it really okay for it to take place? Frankly, the Reisen Barony is too disadvantaged.”

“T-That’s right! I heard that the Reisen estate lost almost all of its knight force just recently. They’re wiped out except for the vice-commander.”

 

Other knights agreed with him.

The Knights Order, which oversees the knights of the kingdom, that is, they who can be said to be the essence of knighthood itself, did not like this Knight Battle, which was disadvantageous from the start.

 

And that was the same for the Princess.

 

As a knight herself, she also thought that this Knight Battle was unfair. At least Baron Amar used a cowardly trick. To initiate an estate battle by taking advantage of the other party’s excessive weakness.

However, in this situation where all the surrounding lords agreed to this estate battle, there was not enough grounds to overturn it.

 

 

“It can’t be helped. That’s how this world works.”

 

Perhaps Baron Reisen will be a victim of this Knight Battle.

He will be defeated by that disgusting pig and lead a miserable life.

 

 

She thought it was definitely unfortunate.

 

 

But at the same time, she also acknowledged that it was one of the inevitable principles of the world.

Even if she used her position as a Princess to make the estate battle nonexistent, nothing would improve.

 

 

Rather, an even more serious situation could be created in a place where her eyes don’t reach.

Since the knight force has been almost wiped out, sending assassins would be too easy, and they could be killed or even kidnapped and forced to work as sex slaves.

 

 

If that happens, it would be the worst for Baron Reisen. Entering as a concubine while maintaining at least the status of a noble may be a better option.

 

 

“I can only watch. I can only hope. For that person’s mistake.”
