After that, I explained the situation to Daisy.
Daisy is surprised, but she accepts it much better than Iris. As a palace maid, she had seen part of the atrocities committed by the nobles.
In fact, she would have been the victim of such cruelty if not for her being my personal servant. And even like that, he had several times almost become a victim.
The recent incident about ring theft is just one of many.
After we met Daisy, the group of three men continued their adventure in the forest.
We met the student enemies several times during the journey, but we easily managed to avoid or defeat them.
The first day of the expedition ended.
When the sun finally set, and darkness arrived in the forest, we stopped to make camp using a portable magic tent.
Portable magic tents are a kind of magic tools. In their normal form, they are the size of small beams and are also quite light, making them easy to carry around. But when you put mana into it, the arrangement inside is active and the block expands, turning into a tent with a basic function for outdoor camping.
This kind of magic tool was rather expensive, but something that even the poorest nobles could afford. Of course, if you want a tent with better quality and better functionality, you have to pay a higher price.
And as a prince, obviously my tent is of the highest quality, it's the same for Daisy, who got her tent from me. The iris is not too shabby, but it is definitely inferior compared to us.
Once the camp was ready, we lit a bonfire and had dinner for a while, before assigning night duty.
Daisy offered herself for the first hour, and I, as the only man in the group, took the second most difficult hour. Thus, Iris was in charge of the third and final guard.
Realizing that she needs to recover as much energy as possible for tomorrow, Iris goes to bed immediately after dinner.
I, on the other hand, stayed out with Daisy.
As soon as Iris left, Daisy smiled happily and sat down beside me, leaning her head on my shoulder.
“... Glad to be together like this, Your Highness.”
I smiled and stroked his head. "I think so too."
"Are you not sleeping?"
“I think I'll keep you company. Don't worry, this lack of sleep won't affect me.”
Daisy nodded in agreement. He knows a little about my true abilities, so he doesn't doubt my words.
Instead, he closed his eyes and enjoyed the moment, not even bothering to be wary of the night attack.
After all, with me beside her, she had nothing to fear.
"By the way, Your Majesty, do you have any plans regarding this situation?" ask Daisy.
I nodded. "i have. I plan to use it to our advantage. ”
Daisy looked at me confused, so I smiled and explained to her the crux of her plan.
When I finished speaking, Daisy was dumbfounded.
"… Your Highness, you're so bad."
"Girl, you mustn't speak like that to your husband." I grinned wickedly and hugged his waist.
Daisy moved her body playfully and blushed. After that, we shared a short kiss, followed by another kiss.
Ten or more kisses later, a panting Daisy moves away reluctantly.
"Then, Your Majesty, when will we meet the princess?"
"soon. Dina had already attempted to contact the other students with the help of the teacher.I, on the other hand, needed to take care of something else first. ”
"Another thing?" Daisy tilted her head sweetly.
I smiled and looked towards the tent where Iris was sleeping.
A look of consciousness appeared on Daisy's face.
“So, you're after Miss Iris, yes.” Daisy understands.
I'm nodding. “Actually, my relationship with Iris is complicated. She actually likes me more than her fiance, Bryan. Actually, he hates it. But even though she hates him, Iris is a good girl. He did not dare betray the morals and expectations of his family."
“In normal circumstances, Iris would never betray Bryan. Instead, she will reluctantly agree to marry him for the welfare of her family, sacrificing her happiness for them.”.
"Exactly. Just like that my revenge can be perfect.” I smile. “On the one hand, she will see the evil that her fiance can do just to achieve her goal. And on the other hand, she will see how I will protect her and the other students. In this way, it was only a matter of time before he decided to follow his heart.”
"i think I understand, Your Majesty." Daisy smiled mischievously. “My role is to help her to more quickly realize what the right choice is, right?”
"My Daisy is very smart." I smiled and kissed her lips.
"Mou, Your Majesty." Daisy smiled shyly and returned the kiss.
We then shared kisses and caresses for a while. Unfortunately, I had to stop Daisy from reaching the final step. Now is not the time.
"Rest.you'll need it later.” I said.
Daisy grins. “I'll rest here.” He then put his head on my lap and closed his eyes.
I smiled wryly and sighed. “What a spoiled waitress. Using its master as a pillow.”
Then, I gently combed her hair until she fell asleep.
Looking at the beautiful maid sleeping on my lap, I couldn't stop my lips from curling into a gentle smile.
Funny thing.
Then, I sighed and closed my eyes.
Now, I just have to wait.
If I'm not mistaken, they'll start moving tonight.
And my thoughts were soon proven right.
Two hours after Daisy fell asleep, I felt four presences approaching our camp.
I don't even need to see them to know their identity.
Daemons.
…
Outside the forest, Evelyn narrowed her eyes as she looked at the black-clothed daemon in front of her.
"You look worried, Principal." The daemon grinned ferociously. "Could you be worried about the safety of your students?"
Evelyn smiled. “Actually, I'm worried about something different.”
“Mm? May I know what it is?”
"Well, it's not a secret or anything." Evelin shrugged his shoulders calmly. "I wonder how long you'll keep me waiting before it shows up."
The daemon was shocked for a moment. “So you know we are here, yes... Then, you also know that my people are attacking your students at this exact moment.”
Evelyn nodded. “Yes, I also know about it. However, I am not worried about my students.”
Daemon furrowed his brows. Evelyn calmed. Too quiet for this situation.
"… A trap?"
"Not exactly, but something like that." Evelyn laughed. “We will use your people as scapegoats to take care of a group of intruders. Great, right?”
"Hehe." The daemon smiled coldly. “You look very confident, headmaster. However, do you really think everything will go according to your expectations !? ”
With those words, the daemon aura exploded.
An oppressive aura filled with hatred and killing intent attacked Evelyn. The aura was so powerful that it seemed to affect the world itself!
It was the aura of a saint L.14!
But Evelyn reacted calmly. With a wave of his hand, his surroundings were enveloped by a dim light, stopping the daemon aura.
Then, he released his own pressure against the daemon.
Instantly, the daemon's expression changed.
“... So you managed to break through the fourteenth layer.” Daemons are serious. “I understand why you are so confident now. However... There is no way this newly advanced saint is a match for me!”
Evelyn smiled. "Let's fight and see."
