Chapter 302 (1/2)

“Don’t worry about it. I heard that the surviving family of Sir Lake received a big compensation.”

“I see. It’s impossible to compensate for his lost life because he was involved in something that had nothing to do with him….I’m so glad to hear that anyway.”

“Yes, that’s too bad. But he passed away while on duty, so it was something he had to be ready for as a knight. You don’t have to blame yourself for it.”

“Right.”

Several knights nodded, agreeing with Sir Freia who spoke firmly. I felt relieved to hear them now. While I was talking with him about what happened at the time and the traitors, suddenly a young knight said, as if something came to his mind.

“By the way, Sir Monique.”

“Pardon?”

“Is the rumor true that you will leave the knights divisions sooner or later? ”

At that moment the atmosphere among them became subdued. I smiled rather embarrassedly, looking at the nervous knight. How should I respond? Given my current situation, I have to quit anyway.

“Well…”

“Why are you hesitating? Are you really…”

“Oh, no! Absolutely no! ”

“We’re strongly opposed!”

“You are the only woman… No, you should not quit!”

While I was blinking, startled at the simultaneous shouting among the knights, suddenly the knights on the opposite side stood up and bowed deeply.

“Loyalty to the Lion! We’re honored to see the Sun of the empire!”

“Glory to the empire! That’s true. She has to start to prepare from now on for the wedding ceremony during the New Year festival.”

Huh? What is he talking about?

When I turned around in a hurry, I saw the emperor standing obliquely, with his head tilted to one side.

“Wedding ceremony?”

“Your Majesty, I don’t understand what you mean…”

“That’s exactly as I said. So, keep that in mind, everyone!” he said, wrapping my shoulder with one hand after approaching me. Then he smiled at me when I looked up at him, startled.

“You don’t like it?”

“…Your Majesty.”

“If you don’t like it, let me retract it. You don’t like it?”

“That’s not what I mean…”

“Then, it’s a done deal.”

When I looked down, putting my hand on my pounding heart, he whispered into my ears, leaning forward, “I’m on my way after seeing your father. He also agreed to the wedding ceremony during the New Year festival.”

“Ah…”

“Now it’s only about two months left, you’re going to be very busy preparing for the ceremony. Put in some more effort. Let me help you a lot.”

I felt something soft touching on my forehead, then fell. At that moment, there were screams, exclamations, groaning and sighing here and there.

“No!”

“Unbelievable…”

“Oh my God!”

“Sir Monique … our goddess …”

“What did you say? Goddess?”

Suddenly, he turned and stared at the knights sternly. Knights flinched, faced with his sharp glance. Turning his mouth up slightly, he rebuked the coldly.

“What did you say about my fiance a moment ago?”

“Oh, that… ”

“Are you Sir Ryan? Answer me.”

“Oh, what I mean is Lady Monique is our goddess …our idol, in other words, she is the mascot of our knights divisions…”

“Ha…”

When he roughly swept up his blue hair as if he was dumbfounded at his response, I pulled his cuffs, startled. As I looked up at him with anxious eyes, he said, patting my shoulder lightly, as if to reassure me, “I knew she was popular among you, but I didn’t know she was so much loved by you all. In fact, I was worried that she might have had a hard time as a knight, but I feel relieved now. ”

“Your Majesty.”
