Gazef Stronoff lowered his head, not daring to look any further. Given Princess Renner's status and fame, if he stared at her too much, it might have a negative impact.
"Your Highness." Leinas didn't have so many concerns. She bowed and then raised her head again.
Princess Renner walked over briskly like a pure flower, with a gentle and somewhat shy smile on her face: "Your Excellency Warrior Captain, there is no need to be like this."
"Is it not disturbing you two?"
There was a hint of curiosity and amusement in the clear voice.
Gazef Stronoff was about to raise his head to respond, but he lowered his head again and quickly replied: "Don't bother... Um, what I mean is that Miss Renas and I didn't talk about anything just now."
"I thought I could hear something."
Princess Renner muttered quietly, her tone tinged with a hint of disappointed.
The murmur was not loud.
But with Leinas's and Gazef Stronoff's ears and eyes, they could obviously hear it clearly.
Leinas's delicate face remained expressionless, her waist-length golden hair was tied at the end, exuding a unique fragrance.
Gazef Stronoff, who was standing aside facing the two beautiful women, looked a little embarrassed.
"Then, Sir Warrior-Captain, we'll leave first." Princess Renner stretched out her slender fingers, pulled Leinas's sleeve, and smiled innocently and lovely. As the two figures disappeared.
Gazef Stronoff then raised his head and scratched his nose with his fingers, his embarrassed look slowly fading away.
The other side.
Princess Renner walked at the front on the long corridor with exquisite carvings, her white dress fluttering slightly with her steps.
Leinas followed closely behind, staring at Princess Renner's figure, her shiny lips pursed. She was a little surprised that Princess Renner would appear here, and it seemed that she was waiting for her.
Could it be that she wanted to ask why Ramposa III summoned her and Gazef Stronoff?
But while walking, Princess Renner showed no intention of asking any questions.
Instead, they would occasionally discuss stories like the taste of the pastries provided by the palace today, and which flowers on both sides of the corridor were more beautiful.
Another point.
Leinas also noticed that the other party seemed to be in a good mood recently.
"What's wrong, Leinas?" Princess Renner stopped, blinked her deep blue eyes, and looked at Leinas with ignorant curiosity.
"Princess. His Majesty, considering the defeat on the battlefield with the Empire this year, intends to form two legions."
Leinas paused and spoke softly. She was now an imperial refugee who had taken refuge with Princess Renner. There was no need to hide such a thing:
"Gazef and I will each lead a team of 3,000 people."
"That's amazing, Leinas."
Princess Renner clasped her hands together in front of her chest, a happy look on her face.
That smile was not because her woman had obtained the right to recruit the legion, but was purely out of joy that Leinas herself was valued.
At least that's what the "smile" suggests.
"That's why I'm a little distressed." Leinas shook her soft golden hair and sighed softly.
Forming a legion sounds simple, but recruiting people is a very complicated issue. Looking at Gazef Stronoff's recruitment situation, Leinas guessed that there should be some secret support from Ramposa III.
As for her?
From the moment she chose Princess Renner, she essentially rejected both the royalist faction and the noble faction.
And according to Leinas's observation, Princess Renner did not have any support from any force.
"Leinas, are you worried about recruiting people?"
Princess Renner spoke sympathetically, and after a moment of thought, "Indeed, it is not easy to recruit excellent soldiers, and Leinas has no fiefdom or connections here."
Having said this, Princess Renner lowered her head slightly, as if she was a little ashamed that she could not help Leinas.
"It's alright, Your Highness."
Faced with Princess Renner's pitiful appearance, even Leinas, who always behaved like a cold iceberg, couldn't help but soften her expression and spoke quickly.
Princess Renner could guess the reason, and Leinas was not surprised at all.
The title "Golden" not only describes Princess Renner's appearance, but also her agile mind.
In addition to observing Princess Renner, Leinas also attended many aristocratic banquets during this period, and naturally found out a lot of information about Princess Renner.
What the nobles talked about and ridiculed the most was that the other side proposed many measures to consider the people at the bottom of society and to enhance national strength.
Almost all of these proposals were rejected due to various loopholes and unrealistic situations.
But the kindness shown by Princess Renner was known to the people and deeply moved them, which is another meaning of the title "Gold".
Just analyze based on this information.
Leinas couldn't help but feel a deep affection for Princess Renner, but when she thought of her master's description of Her Royal Highness the Princess.
This made Leinas have to be alert.
Leinas knew very well how powerful and mysterious her master was, and to be able to earn her master's sincere praise for a princess who could be compared to the Bloody Emperor...
Think of this.
Leinas suppressed the thoughts and emotions rising within her.
"By the way, Leinas, I invited Brother Zanak to be my guest today. Maybe he has a solution."
Princess Renner seemed to remember something. She raised her head again, happily put her white arms behind her back, and smiled at Leinas.
Zanac?
His Royal Highness the Second Prince?
Leinas was stunned for a moment, and suddenly the words her master said to her before leaving flashed through her mind.
'No need to do anything extra, just hand the problem over to the princess and she will find a solution for us.'
Buzz!
My mind was shaken.
Looking at Princess Renner with an innocent smile in front of her, Leinas opened her lips slightly, revealing a small section of pearly white teeth, and a sense of horror inexplicably rose in her heart.
Regarding the formation of the legion, Ramposa III only informed some noble members today to discuss and decide, and only told the two of them the news after getting the result.
That is to say, until today, no one knew about the formation of the legion!
However, Princess Renner invited the second prince in advance. If you think about it carefully, Princess Renner already knew this result before today.
When I think about this.
Leinas's pupils couldn't help but shrink.
No!
There was another person who knew about it in advance, and that was the master. Thinking about all the arrangements made by the other party, it seemed that he had already anticipated that the kingdom would form a legion.
"Huh~" Leinas let out a light breath, and the tense feeling in her heart relaxed a lot.
If Minori knew that Leinas compared him with Princess Renner, he would definitely feel helpless. He completely deduced the result through the plot.
But the other party guessed it entirely based on his own wisdom.
Princess Renner curved her eyes into crescent shapes and smiled as she glanced at the change in expression on Leinas's face that had just occurred in a moment, then she looked away as if she hadn't noticed.
It's just a small movement of slightly upturned corners of the mouth, as if teasing a cute little animal.
"Come on, let's go back to the palace first."
Princess Renner turned around and a gentle voice came.
"Your Highness, aren't you going to Climb's place to check on the situation today?" Leinas seemed to have thought of something, and asked softly while keeping up with the pace.
After following Princess Renner, Leinas unexpectedly learned of the existence of such a person. It was said that he was a slave boy picked up by Princess Renner.
I heard that he only had one breath left.
It took more than half a year for Princess Renner to send someone to take care of him before his body was completely recovered, which shows how much Princess Renner cares about him.
Leinas had met him a few times, and if she had to make an evaluation, she would say he was just an ordinary boy.
"Not for now, Leinas. Don't let Brother Zanak wait too long." Princess Renner said softly.
"yes."
Leinas nodded.
What she didn't know was that since joining Princess Renner's side, Princess Renner's attention to Climb's side was far less frequent than before.
From the front that Leinas can't see.
For a moment, a monstrous look of excitement flashed across Princess Renner's innocent deep blue eyes.
"Who is it?"
"They actually sent such a cute little animal to my side."
"I'm really looking forward to it."
Princess Renner regained her eyesight and continued walking along the corridor.
After picking up Climb, Princess Renner felt a sense of satisfaction from the other's eyes, but after Leinas appeared, this sense of satisfaction became even stronger.
certainly!
The sense of satisfaction did not come from Leinas, but from the master behind Leinas.
He is able to control a powerful and proud woman like Leinas and send her to his side.
Princess Renner felt an invisible hand-fighting through the air. The feeling of being understood and recognized made Princess Renner tremble all over.
"Hmm~"
Princess Renner's pure white dress trembled slightly as her body let out a barely audible moan.
[TL: Our boy is screwed]
Leinas looked at Princess Renner in front of her with some surprise.
...
The Month of Earthfall.
December 20th.
It was clearly noon, but the overcast sky made the light in the whole world very dim.
Raindrops as big as beans fell to the ground with a crackling sound, forming a mist that blurred the vision ahead and enveloped the entire Royal Capital "Re-Estize".
A carriage came out of the rain and fog, its wheels moving quickly on the muddy road, stirring up a trail of mud and water.
Kuro pulled the carriage towards the huge royal capital in front. The dense rain dripped down its soft black fur but did not wet its body.
The obstruction of vision caused by the heavy rain had no effect on Kuro at all.
The originally open-air carriage was now wrapped in circles of plant vines that glowed with light green light, blocking the intrusion of rain.
Inside the carriage.
Enri looked through the gaps in the vines toward the blurry royal capital shrouded in rain and fog, her eyes filled with anticipation and curiosity.
As a citizen of the Re-Estize Kingdom, Enri had only heard of the capital but had never been there. In other words, let alone the capital, even the border city of "E-Rantel" was unavailable.
If she hadn't followed Minori, she might have been able to go there in the future.
"After more than ten days of travel, we finally arrived at the royal capital." Minori straightened his back, stretched, and spoke with a chuckle.
I don't know what the situation is with Leinas and Imina. This time I came to the capital except to meet them and arrange the next things.
It is also to leave a magic mark, so that it is convenient to use teleportation magic later.
