A Righteous Female Knight Never Compromises!-Chapter 15 : Princess Visit
{Chapter 15} Princess Visit
“So... what's going on here?”
...The day after planting strawberries, looking at the four people present, all wearing scarves of different colors around their necks, Princess Mia, who had just taken off her helmet and proactively revealed her identity, was completely baffled.
“This is... isn't the weather a bit cold?” Louise, who was acquainted with Princess Mia, spoke up first, “Anna happened to think these scarves looked nice... so we decided to try wearing them today.”
After giving such an excuse, Louise secretly shot a reproachful glance at Anna.
Then Anna glared back defiantly.
After all, who was the one who planted the strawberries first? Anna made it clear she wouldn't forget.
Subsequently, Anna also felt somewhat awkward looking at the scarves of different colors around the others' necks.
Although she had learned through the simulation that Princess Mia would be coming today, and Anna had run another simulation yesterday with the same result, confirming that Princess Mia was indeed coming today, Anna had forgotten about the six red marks on her neck and one on her collarbone.
It wasn't until a servant mentioned the visit and Louise's expression changed dramatically that Anna realized what the problem was.
Fortunately, Anna had several scarves of different colors in her drawer, which now came in handy.
Don't ask why Anna had so many scarves in her drawer; the answer is simply that Anna likes them.
“Is... that so?”
Looking at Helga, who was still wearing short sleeves, and Atala, who was only wearing a thin shirt, Mia hesitated to speak.
“That... Mia, it's been so long. What brings you here?”
Silently mocking how these two's attire completely contradicted her excuse, Louise quickly employed the topic-shifting tactic to ask about Mia's purpose.
“Ah... right.” After a moment of speechlessness, since Louise brought it up, Mia proactively explained her purpose—
It was similar to what was said in the simulation, roughly that she was here on behalf of Margaret, explaining that Balin's real name was Jean, and that Margaret had intercepted him, sending Mia to hope for cooperation with them.
“This matter... we still need to consider it.”
“It's fine, my sister has given you time to consider, just hoping you can give her an answer in a few days.”
Mia expressed understanding.
After hearing all this, Helga's expression still didn't look too good.
With the serious matters discussed, it was time to chat about some trivial things.
Just as the servants finished serving the desserts, Mia also put away her previously serious demeanor.
“Louise, you've changed a lot.”
“Changed a lot?” Louise was puzzled by Mia's assessment, “I feel I'm pretty much the same as before.”
“No, no, no, it's a big difference.” Mia shook her head, then showed a hint of reminiscence, “The old Louise always talked about inheriting her father's dukedom and such, and there was hardly a smile on her face.”
“Wait... wait! You don't need to say that kind of thing!”
“And back then, Louise also said she must become the kingdom's most formidable female knight, kicking the demon king, tearing apart the dragon king, becoming one of the top overlords of the Gaia continent...”
“I told you to stop talking!”
As Mia's words grew worse, Louise instantly became frantic.
“Any more? Say more, say more.”
“Hehe, Louise was so cute back then, right? And Louise always liked to carry a wooden sword, swinging it at peers, and loved playing the knight...”
Seeing Anna and Mia suddenly discuss her past, and Atala and Helga listening with great interest, Louise became even more frantic.
“Stop talking!!!”
Louise forcefully covered Anna's mouth, Anna's innocent eyes looking at Louise.
It wasn't me who spilled your dark history, why aren't you covering Mia's mouth instead of mine?
Louise naturally understood Anna's meaning and spoke somewhat righteously:
“If I can't handle Mia, can't I handle you?”
‘Who says I can't handle you, I…’
...Then Anna thought about her usual performance and bed performance, and instantly became speechless.
Seems like she really can't handle Louise.
“I never thought Louise was like that before, I thought the old Louise was as cheerful as she is now.” Atala commented on the side.
“That's why I'm surprised to see the current Louise.” Mia looked at the little interaction between Louise and Anna, a blush appeared on her face, clearly enjoying it.
"But Louise actually likes girls... What a surprise. Even though we used to talk about romantic topics between men and women, and gossip about men and women, I never expected she'd find such a beautiful and excellent girl like Miss Anna as a partner."
“I told you to stop talking about the past!”
In Louise's frenzy, time flew by...
“Alright, I should be going.”
As evening approached, Mia stood up and gave a slight bow.
“I'm really happy to have chatted with you again after so long, Louise.”
“...Is that so?” Louise looked at Mia's smile, hesitating to speak.
Louise seemed to want to say something but didn't.
Anna naturally noticed this but wouldn't interfere with the two's matters.
After all, as people grow up, they're not the same as in childhood.
The two ultimately have the difference between royalty and nobility, and in a kingdom with pronounced class distinctions, such a difference means they can't have much interaction, unless the princess were to marry Louise, or Louise were to marry into the royal family.
‘But, Louise is mine now.’
Thinking this, Anna suddenly and inexplicably kissed Louise.
“...Mmm.”
Blushing from the sudden kiss, Louise didn't say anything.
Seeing such an intimate interaction between the two, Mia's smile suddenly became much more genuine.
“Really nice.”
“Huh?”
“Ah, no, nothing, please pretend I said nothing.”
Shaking her head, Mia looked at Anna and the others and bowed again.
“Then, farewell, Louise, Miss Helga, and Miss Atala.”
“And Miss Anran too, please take good care of my friend.”
“Of course, Louise is my most beloved... one of them.”
Just about to say most beloved person, but Helga's gaze came over, forcing Anna to quickly amend her words.
...
After seeing Princess Mia off, Anna suddenly realized something—
What name did Princess Mia just call me?
