The Main Heroine Likes the Extra

22 – Mischievous laughter

When I heard that Her Highness Princess Yuril was in Count Wentos. I looked at my father in the same room, but my father also looked very surprised. Was

It must have been the first time my father had heard of it, too.

When I moved my gaze to Her Highness Aine again, she smiled shyly and began to explain.

To summarize her explanation.

His Highness Yuril was accompanied by an ample escort and was conducting a secret inspection.

Of course, her words were secret, and all intelligence organizations knew that she was inspecting her, but she moved around the kingdom with such movements that they couldn’t even pinpoint her exact location.

One of the visits to the Baron’s territory, which was believed to have made her contact with Duke Ignis, was one of them.

She returned to her words, and she traveled all over the kingdom except for the northern part, but decided that the northern part was somehow dangerous.

There, thanks to the coincidence of her highness with Her Majesty Aine, who was about to lead her men to the north for training, she entered the northern part of the kingdom with her troops and is now in the county.

The escort judged that there would be no problems as long as they were among Her Highness Aine’s subordinates.

Anyway, it couldn’t have been more than a staggering coincidence.

Her Highness, Princess Yuril, said that she was staying in the annex of the mansion where the knights were staying.

We decided that the sooner we met the better, we followed Her Highness Aine to the annex.

“Come to think of it, it was the first time I met Yuril, right?”

“Yes, since he is not good at public activities…”

“What is it?”

Her Highness, Princess Euryldria Palaginia, is number one in the succession line, but she avoids public activities.

There are rumors of this and that, but in fact the reason is very simple.

Because her life is being targeted.

To none other than half-brothers.

“I personally didn’t want him to come out until he was safe, but he’s a very stubborn kid.”

“hahahaha… You’re having a lot of trouble.”

“That’s right. I honestly don’t trust the Hidden Knights, who always accompany me as an escort…”

The Hidden Knights are made up of only female magic swordsmen, but nonetheless, they are among the three most powerful knights in the kingdom.

This person who calls the Hidden Knights ‘unreliable’ is really…

“Um…By the way! Can I meet you too!?”

“What are you worried about? You’re the daughter of a duke.”

“Oh, is that…Isn’t it?”

Riel’s tension seems to have improved, but her lack of self-esteem still needs to be resolved.

How much did the servants and the like have to ignore the child to make the self-esteem of a duke’s daughter to this point?

Before long, Her Highness Aine, who arrived in front of the room, opened her mouth.

“And, I don’t think it would be bad for you guys to familiarize yourself with your face beforehand.”

At His Highness Aine’s meaningful words, Riel is right? She asked.

His Highness Aine was just smiling, but I seemed to understand what he was talking about.

“I’ve been waiting for you. Everyone.”

A blonde woman was sitting on the couch in her room waiting.

Next to her is a female heroine with an expressionless face, fully armed and guarded.

“Riel Ignis and Kyou Wentos. Nice to meet you.”

A blonde woman greets me with a bright smile.

Like her own sisters, she has bright blonde hair and purple eyes. However, her mood was mild, unlike her older sisters.

Princess Yuryl Dria Palazzinia, she is one year younger than me because she is a little bit older than her real sisters.

She also appeared as a “Supporting character” In the original work, and was supposed to be a junior one grade below us.

After receiving her greeting, I and Riel hurriedly greeted her politely.

Princess Yuril greeted her with a smile still on her face, and invited her to sit across from her.

As she sat down in her seat, she said as Princess Yuril shifted her gaze to her knight, who was standing next to her.

“This is Captain Merrill, who is in charge of escorting me.”

“My name is Meryl Miliano.”

The female knight, Meryl bowed her head in greeting.

Meryl Miliano, when the story begins with who is the strongest among the kingdom’s knights, she is so strong that her name is also mentioned. She

Of course, there are many outstanding candidates for her, but she is also to the extent that her name always comes out. She

She And she As I mentioned earlier, she also serves as the leader of the Silver Snow Knights.

“Whoops, I never thought I’d be able to meet two sons of the kingdom’s famous families at once.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes, because there are restrictions on movement outside the palace. Do you think it would be nice to be able to move around freely from time to time?!”

Princess Yuril raises her hand and speaks in a slightly grumbling tone.

A female knight next to her, Meryl, said, “It’s a matter of course,” And brushed off her complaint. Her Highness Aine agreed, saying, “Merrill is right.”

Brief chatter was exchanged for a while, and Princess Yuril refreshed her atmosphere by saying, ‘Well, then…’.

“You two are probably talking about Lord Ignis, right?”

“That’s right. I heard that you met the Duke in Baron Reime…”

Upon hearing her words, Meryl, a female knight standing next to her, muttered to herself, ‘I’ll have to pay more attention to my surroundings…’.

Well, of course it could be dangerous if Princess Yuril’s actions were known even a little bit.

“It is true that Ignis and I met in the Baron’s Territory.”

“Ah…!”

Riel exclaimed with a slightly happy face.

He looks a bit relieved.

However, Princess Yuril blurted out her words with a dark expression, saying ‘just…’.

“He looked very unwell.”

“…Yes?”

Riel opened her mouth in surprise.

At any rate, I was suspicious of the duke for leaving the estate for too long, so I tried my best to calmly ask.

“How was it specifically?”

“He was alone without an escort or attendant. Besides, his clothes were scattered here and there and his appearance was a mess. To be honest, I didn’t recognize him at first.”

At first, he said he thought he was some kind of tramp or something.

She said that Princess Yuril, who recognized him belatedly, ordered the Silver Knights to capture him, and she somehow calmed him down and had a conversation.

“He … Seemed frightened of something. He kept looking around while he was talking to me, and he couldn’t hide his nervousness.”

Duke Ignis trembles as if something is chasing him, wary of his surroundings.

Princess Yuril, feeling something unusual, tried to protect him. She

She ordered the knights to protect him, but suddenly the duke roared.

It is said that the knights who were surprised by that immediately gathered around Princess Yuril to be on guard, and in the meantime, the duke left the spot as if he were running away.

The knights, who had been paying close attention to the surroundings, eventually lost sight of him due to such a sudden incident.

“Of course I was concerned about him, so I immediately searched the area, but in the end I couldn’t find him.”

“I see…”

“As his child, you must be very concerned. I’m sorry I couldn’t help you.”

“No…No! I’d rather thank you for trying to help!”

Riel, surprised by the princess who bowed her head to apologize, bowed her head and expressed her gratitude.

Then he held my hand next to me tightly.

I felt a slight trembling in her hand, so I held her hand as well.

The tremors gradually stopped as if he had calmed down.

Anyway, it seemed certain that something really unusual had happened to Duke Ignis.

He continued to search after that, but it was assumed that he had already left the Baron.

“Has there been anything else strange about it?”

“Weird… You mean? Umm…”

Princess Yuril thinks for a moment.

Anyway, it didn’t seem like there was anything to point out.

“Any little thing is fine. I need a little clue now.”

“Hmm…”

At that time, Meryl, a female knight beside her, raised her hand and said.

“Can you wait a minute?”

“Meryl, what’s up?”

Meryl pondered for a moment at Princess Yuril’s question, then she said.

“I don’t know if it’s related, but there is a story told by the knights who worked on the search at the time.”

At her words, the eyes of all the girls present turned to Meryl.

She flinched momentarily at Meryl’s sudden attention, then she cleared her throat and began to speak.

“There was a situation where some of the knights who were conducting the search operation got lost in the woods.”

“Are you lost?”

“Yes, but now that I think about it, it’s really strange.”

At that time, the Eunseol Knights thoroughly scouted and guarded the surroundings so that they could escort Princess Yuril anywhere in her baron’s territory.

Of course, it was after the preliminary reconnaissance had already been completed when the knights were searching for the forest speed to figure out the surrounding geography.

“The Silver Snow Knights are an order of knights established to escort the royal family. Of course, they are the elite who have been thoroughly educated. It is not surprising that they, and many of them, all get lost in the same place.”

At the time, I scolded myself for making such a mistake.

Just thinking about it again, even the lost knights were confused and made strange noises. It wasn’t a place they knew, it was as if their eyes were blind and their ears were hearing hallucinations.

And when they lost their way and wandered around, they heard laughter as if someone was laughing.

As if someone invisible was playing a ‘prank’.
