Chapter Index

    I would like to leave the warriors, who are very angry because they have been ignored for so long, to vent their anger, but since I am the CEO, I cannot stand by and see that happen.

    In the end, what she chose was to hide her identity and secretly come to see the sights.

    Since I knew that there were many listening ears and prying eyes in the imperial palace, I spoke with my voice as quiet as possible.

    “How about putting the cloth back on? “The imperial palace has more eyes to see and ears to hear than you might think.”

    “No one is looking at us?”

    “It would be better to do that if you want to clearly hide your identity.”

    “It’s frustrating.”

    “Come on.”

    Princess Haehwa pouted her lips and wrapped a black cloth around her face again.

    There was a lot of talk about ethnic minorities wearing unique clothes ever since they arrived, so no one thought it was strange.

    The attention of the people around them was focused on the knights and warriors who were about to collide.

    “It looks like they are trying to compete 1:1.”

    “Our warriors win.”

    Princess Haehwa was clenching her fists.

    I applied so much force that I was shaking.

    Although they were saying that their warriors would win, they seemed to be very worried about joining the knights.

    The confrontation began quickly.

    The knight seemed to think that the warrior’s skills were inferior to his own, so he held the sword in his hand and swung it leisurely.

    He must have been a bit of a stickler, so a golden, shining sword appears behind his back.

    ‘Oh, it’s cool.’

    Why don’t I have such cool abilities?

    Feeling a moment of skepticism about my abilities, I watched the knight’s abilities shine in a particularly splendid manner.

    He took an arrogant stance, as if he was trying to attack someone.

    The warrior, on the other hand, had his eyes twinkling thoughtfully.

    I felt that the yellow and blue eyes were piercingly staring at the knight, identifying his weaknesses and waiting for an opportunity to attack.

    “Tsk, if you do that, you’ll get hit from behind.”

    “Afterward?”

    “… It’s a bad word, so don’t learn it. Forget it.”

    What reminds me that I shouldn’t speak carelessly in front of my child?

    Princess Haehwa must have heard me mumbling and repeated the words as if she didn’t know them, and I had to hurry and tell her not to learn anything like that.

    “What does it mean? Please tell us.”

    “Don’t try to find out. “Because it’s a mean word.”

    “I like mean words!”

    Princess Haehwa’s unconventional words made me laugh because of the absurdity.

    Just a few meters away, an imperial knight and a minority warrior were fighting, making bloody noises.

    “Why do you like saying mean things? “The princess.”

    “Actually, it’s a secret… .”

    “Wait, if it’s a secret you shouldn’t tell it, why are you telling me?”

    “You’re a friend.”

    I don’t know if Princess Haehwa was doing this to everyone or just me, but she kept making secrets and putting a burden on me.

    In addition, when Princess Haehwa suddenly said that we were friends, she looked at my speechless expression and even burst into laughter.

    My heart ached at the sound of laughter that was so innocent.

    What can I do if I tell my friend a secret?

    For a girl of Princess Haehwa’s age, there was nothing more fun than sharing secrets with friends.

    “So what’s the secret again?”

    “They call her a princess here, but she’s not that great. “The princess is very special, but I am not.”

    “Aha~”

    So, roughly speaking, it goes like this.

    Here, Haehwa is treated by Princess Mona because she is the ‘princess’, but in the North she is not usually treated like a princess.

    “But since you’re a princess, didn’t you come here as a representative?”

    “no. I said I would do it. “Because no one wants to come forward.”

    We needed to get help from the empire, but it seems no one was willing to step forward and do it.

    There is nothing good about doing something like this.

    This is something that must be done for the North to continue to survive, but wouldn’t it be a good thing if it weren’t treated like a traitor?

    “Incredible.”

    “yes?”

    “The princess mustered up the courage to do something that all the adults had turned away because they said they didn’t want to, right?”

    “Yes, but I don’t know if it was a good thing. They hate each other. “Like that.”

    Thump-!!!

    Kwaaaang!!!!

    The fight was intensifying.

    The driver, who I thought would soon fall off, was holding on surprisingly well.

    However, anyone could see that the outcome of the fight was tilted towards the minority fighters.

    If the warrior hadn’t been watching the knight, the game would have ended long ago.

    It seemed like he was trying to take more time to vent his anger.

    “Still, you will gain a lot from coming here.”

    Princess Haehwa nodded and said.

    “that’s right. It was my first time knowing this. “I didn’t know there was such a thing as purification fluid.”

    “If we hadn’t had an exchange like today, the North wouldn’t have known about the purification fluid.”

    “oh! “I guess I won.”

    At that time, the warrior seemed to have finished venting his anger and placed his foot on the fallen knight’s neck.

    The face of the knight who was stepped on by the minority warrior was full of humiliation and anger.

    “You should know that we are strong at this level, right?”

    An empire must not ignore minorities.

    Just because they came to receive help from the empire doesn’t mean they are ‘weak’.

    Princess Haehwa raised her nose and smiled brightly.

    “I need to stop you now.”

    I used my hand to stop Princess Haehwa from getting up from her seat.

    “well. “I think it would be better to leave it alone a little longer.”

    “yes? “If we fight any longer, someone will get hurt, right?”

    “When trampling, it is better to trample firmly. “If you step on it carelessly, it will only cause resentment and will not provide a proper warning.”

    Although the Imperial Knights were clearly defeated, their spirit was still ferocious.

    Sure enough, another knight from the Imperial Knights came out and was arguing with the warriors.

    ‘He was the weakest among us!’ Isn’t that what you’re trying to say?

    The more they talk to the knight, the more the ethnic warriors’ faces harden as they feel good about their victory.

    “Anyone can see that it looks like the drivers are having a huge fight.”

    “The atmosphere has become worse than before. Right?”

    “yes. “We might fight quite a bit.”

    If you lose, you must learn to accept it humbly. Tsk tsk tsk.

    Those things are like walking around arrogantly claiming to be knights of the imperial palace.

    I can’t raise my face because I’m embarrassed.

    Even if they fought again, the result would not have changed, but the imperial knights seemed to have insisted, and they started fighting once again.

    This time, a knight with unusual momentum entered the battle.

    It was natural that a person who seemed quite strong also stepped forward from the minority warrior side.

    “Eh? “What are you doing over there?”

    Princess Haehwa checked the ethnic minority warrior character and muttered to herself.

    “Who are you?”

    “I’m the unit commander.”

    “If you are the commander… .”

    “The person who leads the warriors is called the captain, and he is the person immediately below the captain.”

    “Usually, the strongest person is chosen as the leader, right?”

    “that’s right. And the next strongest person takes over as unit leader. “My father was very worried, so I came with the unit commander.”

    So, does this mean that the person who came forward on the warrior side is the second strongest person in the North?

    “It means you will win no matter what.”

    “If the unit commander came out, he was very angry. Warriors fight when they are angry. And solve it.”

    Wouldn’t it be great if you could fight and relieve your emotions like in a shonen cartoon?

    Unfortunately, there was no way the empire would recognize the skills of ethnic minorities so kindly.

    “uh?”

    I thought the imperial knights would be trampled right away.

    But surprisingly, the knight was calmly counterattacking.

    “The knight is strong too!”

    Princess Haehwa opened her eyes in surprise.

    I also nodded, thinking that I was not the only one among the Imperial Knights.

    Then, I saw one of the attendants, who had been hidden among the knights, slowly disappearing with something in his arms.

    ‘It’s suspicious?’

    It seemed like the knights were deliberately covering up the servants.

    “I’m going to go somewhere for a moment.”

    “yes!”

    Princess Haehwa let me go without particularly questioning whether she thought I was going to the bathroom or was absorbed in watching the fight.

    I quickly moved in the direction where the servant had disappeared.

    I was soon able to find the servant, who threw something in the trash can and moved to another place as if he felt relieved.

    After the servant disappeared.

    I checked the trash can and frowned.

    “Would you like to see these petty bastards?”

    Used and torn consumables were thrown away in the trash can.

    Is there any reason for buff scrolls to be used out of nowhere?

    ‘I thought it was holding up well. Did you want to win even by doing such a petty thing?’

    It makes me feel bad to think that a so-called Imperial Knight would secretly use this and be happy that he won.

    I was especially angry that the thing he used was the consumables I was selling.

    However, it was not possible to let the public know that the imperial knight had committed fraud.

    “That won’t work.”

    If the match was not unfair, it would have been better to not have a winner and a loser determined at all.

    We moved back to a place where we could watch the fight.

    Princess Haehwa sat quietly in her seat and watched the battle with her hands folded.

    “Are you still fighting?”

    “yes. “It’s a great showdown!”

    Princess Haehwa seems to have liked the battle between the imperial knight and the commander.

    If there had been no cheating in that match, I would have been able to honestly respond to Princess Haehwa’s reaction.

    But I couldn’t do that once I found out that there was cheating.

    “Let’s see the confrontation up to this point and stop it now.”

    “yes? “Already?”

    “This match should not be about winning or losing.”

    Even if you lose, it’s a problem, and if you win, it’s a problem.

    Princess Haehwa showed signs that she wanted to see more, but she did not ignore my advice.

    He had been looking at me with interest until I left and came back, but when I suddenly told him to stop, he seemed to think there was something there.

    “Is there something?”

    “It’s a secret.”

    “This is disgusting! “I told you a secret.”

    “Come on.”

    The confrontation lasted a long time because the skills of the imperial knight and the commander were not equal, but because they were equal, the result could come out in a split second.

    Princess Haehwa seemed to have no choice but to stand up at my urging.

    “I’ll be back.”

    What was needed to stop the confrontation was the identity of a ‘princess.’

    She began preparing to reveal her identity without the attention of those around her.
