I was curious why Viscount Pelsus just went back.
'He planned such a terrible thing and then just went back.'
He was very persistent in matters about his own interests.
Can't you tell just by looking at them, trying to kidnap me, a member of the royal family?
'I'm sure he didn't do it alone.'
He must have wanted to take me because he had someone he could trust.
But isn't it strange that he just went back quietly?
'But there's no reason for Callius to lie about Viscount Pelsus.'
There must have been a good reason for Viscount Pelsus to have firmly declared that he would never come back again.
'I don't know what happened, but for now, I feel relieved.'
I was so nervous that something might happen.
I thought I was being dragged back to the hell of my previous life.
I closed my eyes and felt the cold air enveloping my body.
The cold northern air that pierced through the walls of the building served as a reminder from time to time that I had escaped the torturous hell that had been like a pit of fire.
But I can't completely relax yet.
I knew that several chains around my ankles could drag me back to hell.
'We must eliminate the Kavala's weeds one by one.'
Taking advantage of today's crisis, I decided to start working on it right away.
“What do you mean, Your Highness?”
The hallway was noisy.
Brentian, who was discussing tomorrow's itinerary with Hawick, headed towards the sound to see what was going on.
Chloe was confronting the imperial knights in front of the room on the new floor she had moved to.
"What are they doing among themselves? Is this a split?"
He could have pretended not to see and moved away, but Brentian deliberately stood in a prominent position, making himself a prominent bystander.
It was to shame those Arrentals.
As Brentian watched openly, the other subordinates gathered around him one by one.
The royal knight shouted at Chloe.
“Do you doubt our loyalty to the Idelian royal family?”
The momentum was so strong that Brentian expected Chloe, who looked as delicate and fragile as a glass doll, to turn around and run into the room with tears in her eyes at any moment.
But Chloe surprisingly opened her eyes wide and confronted the knight fiercely.
"Loyalty? Yes. I'll ask honestly. What on earth were you doing while the intruder was sneaking into my room?"
"That..."
The imperial knights who were about to answer grew angry when they saw Callius' men crowding on both sides of the hallway and watching.
“What are you looking at? Are you seeing something? Yes? Are you seeing something?”
Chloe stopped him from waving his hand as if to tell them to disperse.
“Leave them alone, they are only carrying out Marquis Rodrian’s orders to protect me.”
“Yes? But...”
The imperial knights grimaced.
Chloe looked astonished at the sight of Ronheim defending her.
It was because it seemed like everyone was gathered there to watch us get scolded.
Chloe said coldly.
“If they disperse, who will protect me from intruders now?”
It was a reprimand for what happened earlier.
The intruder came in and out of the Princess's room, even carrying food, but the imperial knights were completely unaware of this.
They were so negligent in their security that they didn't even notice the intruder who had been hiding on the fourth floor from the beginning. They were even smoking a cigarette in the corner of the hallway and keeping an eye out while the intruder was walking around on the fourth floor.
The knights were proud and did not admit their mistakes.
“Didn’t I tell you earlier that the incident happened because Marquis Rodrian’s men kept interfering with us?”
A voice claiming so crept in.
Because we also know how flimsy that excuse is.
Besides, you didn't dare to say those words out loud while surrounded by the people involved and being watched.
Chloe shouted.
“If you can’t be honest, don’t even open your mouth!”
Brentian, who was watching Chloe like that, was wondering what kind of plan she had.
'Is this not a plot, but a public execution?'
As I listened to Chloe's subsequent words, my doubts gradually turned into certainty.
"You had only one mission: to protect me. And you failed to even properly carry out that one mission."
“...”
“I ask you: Was your loyalty bribed, or was your skill lacking?”
“...!”
Callius's men exchanged glances and cheered silently.
It couldn't be more exciting.
The royal knights, who came from noble families in Arrental, were furious, as if they could not tolerate such treatment.
“Your Highness! You speak too harshly!”
Chloe concluded.
"Looking at your attitude, I see the answer. Your loyalty has been bought. Isn't that right?"
“What is that..!”
“So you helped the intruder avoid detection?”
“That is not right, Your Highness!”
Brentian was a little surprised to see Chloe come out stronger than he expected.
Chloe looked really angry.
'Well, if the Princess had been in that room instead of a maid, who knows what would have happened by now.'
Still, he expected her to defend the imperial knights and even find fault with Callius's subordinates, but he was surprised.
Chloe was unstoppable.
“I will charge you with betraying the Idelian royal family, colluding with the enemy, and endangering the lives of the royal family.”
The imperial knights were dumbfounded by those outrageous words, and their mouths fell open.
Then he suddenly came to his senses and got angry at Chloe.
“That’s ridiculous!”
“It’s unfair! That’s Your Highness’s unfairness!”
Brentian and the other subordinates unconsciously watched Chloe's expression as they watched the attitude of the royal knights.
How could knights be so rude to those they serve? It was unimaginable.
'I don't know if it's because of Arrental's military discipline, or if they think the Princess is ridiculous.'
When they first started watching, they thought that anyone could win and anyone could lose, but after seeing the absurd attitude of the royal knights, everyone's hearts turned towards Chloe.
Chloe's words may be a bit extreme, but they are not wrong.
Given the circumstances, it was reasonable to suspect that they had been bribed by the enemy.
Even more so, according to what Alex had told her, those knights had never met Chloe before.
'It's not enough to apologize for your mistakes, but you're acting like a complete fool. I feel sorry for the Princess who treats those guys like knights.'
The onlookers found themselves secretly cheering for Chloe without even realizing it.
Chloe gave the order without batting an eye at the objections of the royal knights.
“Ah, before handing down your punishment, you should apologize to the knights of Marquis Rodrian, who have contributed greatly to this matter, for your rudeness.”
"Oh!"
“Woooo!”
Callius's men cheered, unable to contain themselves.
Brentian realized that Chloe had intended from the beginning to scold the royal knights in this public place.
It was truly a public execution, meant to win the hearts and minds of the people.
The imperial knights were no longer able to resist as Chloe quickly won over Callius' men to her side.
They quickly realized that the rumors about Chloe being crazy were false.
Not only the imperial knights, but everyone here was like that.
No one thought Chloe was crazy anymore.
“Ahem!”
“That’s really procrastinating.”
Callius's men, noticing the imperial knights, pressed closer.
Trapped in the shadows of the tall Ronheimers, the two royal knights, unable to bear the pressure, eventually bowed their heads to Callius's men and apologized.
“I apologize for my rudeness.”
“We’re sorry. We were foolish.”
Callius's men were amused to see the royal knights bowing their heads.
Their expressions looked as if all the accumulated tension had been relieved.
Brentian clicked his tongue inwardly as he saw his colleagues' gazes change in an instant as they looked at Chloe.
'Ugh, these shallow guys.'
It is not a good thing for a Kavala spy to be clever.
Brentian decided he should watch Chloe a little more closely.
Then Chloe asked Hawick a favor.
“Can Lord Hawick help me to get these people the punishment they deserve?”
“Of course.”
Hawick ordered his men to drag away the imperial knights.
“I’ll go on my own two feet, so let go of this!”
“Where are you taking us? Your Highness! Your Highness!”
The imperial knights were dragged away, struggling.
Brentian thought as he watched the imperial knights, who had been acting so overbearingly as if they were his superiors, being dragged away by their comrades.
'Still, it's refreshing to see that sight.'
'He planned such a terrible thing and then just went back.'
He was very persistent in matters about his own interests.
Can't you tell just by looking at them, trying to kidnap me, a member of the royal family?
'I'm sure he didn't do it alone.'
