Princess Reincarnation

"I'm not an Expressive Person"

I'm not a very expressive person, so I'm sure I look as emotionless as before. If there is someone who excels at reading expressions, and is used to the concerns of others, then that person is Klaus. I smiled bitterly at that thought.

"Did Klaus cause trouble for you, Your Majesty?"

"What does that mean?"

"Persis what it means," said Sir Leonhard softly, eyes calm.

I can't feel any ulterior motives, but this is too different from anything I've ever experienced in the game. I can't read the implied at all. Why in this world, for what purpose, did he ask me that?

Are my words influenced by Klaus' behavior?

Surprised, I don't know what to say. I just know I don't want to lie to him.

Trying to relax, I took a short breath and said, "If I say I have no problem, it would be a lie. ”

“…………”

Sir Leonhard smiled wryly at my answer, and said nothing. Her calm eyes gently urged me to continue.

“He's an amazing keeper; I have no complaints to offer. I never doubted his ability either. But he was too protective. ”

Basically, Klaus is a submissive man.

But if a little danger were thrown into the mix, he would be very different. This trip is a good example.

"Clause overprotective?"

"Yes nih . In her eyes, I must look very fragile. As my protector, he might want to go as far as closing me in the ivory tower – he's that soft-hearted. But, I am an individual with my own desires. There's no way I've ever agreed to let myself be locked up for my 'safety! ”

I became more angry the more I spoke.

Looking at me, Sir Leonhard's smile somehow became more sour. He looked like he was trying to calm a raging baby, and it was a splash of cold water to the face.

I feel ashamed. Wreaking out all my pent-up frustrations to an unrelated party is something only a child does.

"No . You're not so weak. ”

"What…?"

“Klaus is not the type of man who easily pledges himself to a sensitive princess who only has her beauty qualities. ”

A smile disappeared from his face when he saw me, who had been made speechless.

The low tone of his voice deepened with emotion.

"In front of you, he may seem like a dog, but …"

A-dog …?

An unpleasant word. If we talk dogs, I like Border Collies. Or, Shetland Sheepdogs. I don't have a hobby of keeping an adult man as my pet!

"The real nature is the wolf. Even if his master was the only one he could not bite, he was actually a beast that could not be tamed. ”

“……………”

I couldn't bring myself to mock him and say, "Can't you tame it if you're sadistic?"

As mentioned earlier, Klaus was one of the five most powerful knights in the order of knights. If you consider her age, being promoted to a princess guard means she has risen very quickly in her career.

Our royal chivalric order is remarkable because it emphasizes the importance of ability over social standing. Precisely because of that, there was a lot of jealousy floating around. Perhaps no one was foolish enough to display it in front of the princess, but I knew she was being targeted secretly from the shadows.

However, Klaus was not a refreshing man like him. He avoided the violence elegantly, and went back to double insult. He destroyed comrades who would make enemies so hard that they never dared to return.

Does it still mean anything to him to be a masochist?

Would a masochist be this aggressive? Or, is sadism and masochism really two sides of the same currency? Yes, I can barely understand what I am saying myself.

“After taming the beast, you cannot possibly be weak. You are honorable, a princess who will never allow herself to be protected. But sometimes, it can be dangerous. ”

“………?”

Dangerous?

Since I look weak, I don't look dangerous?

I don't know what he wants to say. What does he mean when I am not weak, but dangerous?

I don't know if he noticed my confusion or not, but Sir Leonhard kept staring at me with reprimanding eyes.

“You are someone who stands on his own feet, thinks with his head, and can complete the task he sets out. But there is a limit to how much one can do on their own. Please, count on the presence of those around you a little more. ”

I blinked a few times to respond to those unexpected words.

"But I did…"

There was a bit of surprise I could do with my own strength. I know that, and I intend to rely on others. Take it today Although it was selfish for me, I asked Sir Leonhard to drive me.

But he seems to disagree.

Sir Leonhard shook his head.

"More. You don't do it enough. Klaus felt the same way, which is why he became overprotective. ”

“……………”

Even if Sir Leonhard were to say that, I cannot just nod my head in agreement.

I also have my position as a princess to consider. I can't just unpack my flaws.

But, even more than that, I don't know how to determine how much I should explain, or to what extent I should rely on others.

With whom can I share an unfolding future with whom?

I violently lowered my head, and Sir Leonhard smiled wryly again.

“Please, keep these words somewhere in the corner of your mind. ”

I honestly didn't think that I would remember the disappointment in his voice or his words until much later.

It was a story for the future, a few years later.
