레오델 후반부의 배경이 되는 황궁에서 처음 등장하는 인물로, 주인공 레토의 든든한 조력자였다.
I licked my lips.
There were a few things I wanted to say, but it seemed wise not to let them out of my mouth.
Especially when Hades Croitner was watching me with a sharp look.
“You’ve heard about the first princess.”
I just nodded quietly.
In fact, it was more than just ‘having heard.’
The first princess, Alicia Steinhard, was one of the main characters in the game.
“I have no particular feelings about her. However, under our national law, the Duke Consort has the authority to rule Donovan equally with me. I cannot give such a position to the empire’s princess.”
I pursed my lips.
I could clearly see where this conversation was going.
“You’re not thinking of using me to fend off a marriage proposal, are you?”
“Are you asking because you don’t know, holy lady?”
“…….”
“It’s worked out well. You’ve achieved a great feat, so many will follow you from now on. My affection for you will deepen, so the princess can’t ignore you.”
An obvious question came to mind.
“Will they try to eliminate me?”
“That’s why you need a guard.”
Then I realized.
That Hades Croitner had already decided everything.
“……I’ll try.”
As long as I didn’t intend to join the protagonist party, Hades and I were in the same boat.
To continue wielding the holy sword, I had to fit his pace.
“A wise choice.”
A faint smile crossed Hades’s lips.
“I look forward to working with you, holy lady.”
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]‘……What on earth is going on?’
I asked Amy for some warm lemon tea and snacks, then lost myself in thought, munching on a sweet cookie.
I hadn’t realized when I was with Hades, but the fact that Princess Alicia had proposed a marriage to him felt very strange.
Princess Alicia.
A character first appearing in the royal palace, which is the backdrop of the latter part of Leodel, she was a strong supporter of the protagonist Leto.
In the palace that becomes the backdrop of the latter part of Leodel, he first appeared as the stalwart supporter of the protagonist, Leto.
By the way, Leto didn’t even need to make an effort to raise Elyos’s favorability.
Why?
Because by setting, Hades was Elyos’s enemy.
Just for the reason that he killed him, Elyos became a staunch supporter of Leto.
‘But a marriage proposal, something’s strange.’
Could it be a plan to kill Hades after the wedding and seize real power?
But the Princess Elyos I saw while playing the game wasn’t such a character.
Because she was a character who stubbornly upheld her righteousness to the point of foolishness.
‘What on earth happened?’
I swallowed dryly.
According to Hades, the imperial envoys will arrive soon, so we might be able to dig up some clues then.
At that moment, someone knocked on the door.
Amy, who opened the door to check the visitor, looked back at me with a troubled expression.
“Sainted Lady, it’s Sir Tobias… What shall we do?”
“Tell him to come in.”
I had thought Tobias would soon come.
There were two orders that Hades had given him concerning me.
The first was to teach me swordsmanship, and the second was to escort me.
Neither was a job fit for a subcommander of a ducal knight order.
“Sainted Lady, how are you feeling?”
“Much better.”
I answered with a smile.
“Sir, what’s the matter?”
Tobias squinted one eye.
Before I could be surprised at the intimate gesture, he immediately started speaking.
“You’ve probably already heard from His Grace the Duke. From now on, I will be responsible for escorting you, Sainted Lady.”
“Starting today?”
“Yes, starting today.”
Tobias bent one knee and bowed respectfully.
“I’ll be in your care, Sir Tobias.”
Tobias made a slightly disappointed face.
“I told you before to call me Tobias… It seems you’ve forgotten.”
“I did. I completely forgot.”
I smiled sheepishly.
“I won’t forget from now on, Tobias.”
There’s no need to push away someone who’s trying to be friendly.
I brushed off cookie crumbs and stood up.
“I know His Grace has entrusted you with one more task.”
“Yes. I also agreed to teach you swordsmanship, Sainted Lady.”
“When can we start?”
“If you wish, we can start right now.”
Tobias reached out to me.
“Shall we go, to the training grounds?”
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]To be honest, let me tell you.
Whatever I had expected when I was escorted to the training grounds by Tobias, it certainly wasn’t the sight before me.
“My goodness, it’s the Sainted Lady!”
“A lie. Why would the Sainted Lady come to this place?”
“Is your eye crooked? Look, it’s Sainted Lady Angelica over there.”
My hearing is not weak because my body is.
Their voices, yelling loudly without even thinking to lower them, came straight to my ears, and my face involuntarily turned red.
“You idiots, be quiet.”
Had Tobias not barked at them, I would have continued to hear those embarrassing words.
“ViceCaptain, if you were bringing the Sainted Lady, you should have told us. I would have at least shaved my beard!”
When scheming men desperately battle for her favor in the male harem
This one’s also on my reread list! The rivalry, scheming between the men in the imperial harem are just as intense and thrilling as in classic palace drama novels, where concubines fight to the death. Give it a read, girls! I promise you won’t be disappointed.
Synopsis:
“I am not worthy of her… but I still want to be by her side, even if only as a loyal dog…”

She did not know that she was the one who had saved him from a tragic fate many years ago. And now, her heart was the target of pursuit for both Yue Guanyi and the powerful Empress Dowager Qin Qing.
