CH 19

One sunny afternoon, I was planning to take a walk in the garden, but it was suddenly canceled by Dolph’s words.

“Her Highness Princess Lilith, please come to the office of His Majesty King Leroy as soon as possible.”

Guided by the messenger who came to pick me up, I arrived at the office with my escort Sanse.

“Princess Lilith, I have been waiting for you. Please come in.”

From inside the office, Prime Minister Ethan opened the door.

I was the only one allowed into the room.

The is a table set in the center of the office, and His Majesty King Leroy is sitting looking at the entrance.

Opposite him, with his back to the door, His Highness Gresis was already seated.

When I was guided and seated to the right of His Highness Gresis, Prime Minister Ethan stood diagonally behind His Majesty King Leroy.

King Leroy and Prime Minister Ethan vacated the office. And the were only four of us, including His Highness Gresis and myself.

For some reason, when I was nervous because I felt something unusual, His Majesty King Leroy spoke to me kindly as if he understood it.

“Lilith, thank you for your help the other day. I heard about Healer from Denise. Thank you again.”

“I’m glad you’re doing well.”

After His Majesty King Leroy nodded calmly, he paused for a moment and then took a serious look.

“Then, since it’s an emergency situation, let’s get straight to the point. To put it bluntly, I want Lilith to go to the frontier bordering the Seiran Kingdom together with the Royal Knights’ Monster Subjugation Unit led by Gresis. I want you to use your healing powers for the Frontier Knights who are suffering from illness.”

His Majesty the King’s decree is absolute. Besides, if it’s for the sake of those who are suffering, it’s impossible to refuse.

“Yes. If I can be of help, I will go.”

“I believed you would say so. This is an important mission related to Lilith’s homeland.”

“What do you mean when you say it’s related to her motherland?”

His Highness Gresis explained when I couldn’t understand the words of His Majesty King Leroy.

“The Frontier Knights’ mission is to protect the border and subjugate the monsters in the forest. By defeating monsters, we are preventing the people from becoming victims of monsters. It also leads to the security of the Seiran Kingdom, which is close to the border.”

“Eh?”

I learned that there are almost no monsters in the Seiran Kingdom because there are no barriers.

It never occurred to me that the facts would be different.

“Since the Tenar Kingdom was subjugating the monsters, the Seiran Kingdom didn’t have any monsters. I didn’t know that.”

“The actions we did for our country only led to protecting our neighbors as a result. It’s not the real intention.”

If I hadn’t married His Highness Gresis, I would have been ignorant of this fact.

“Thank you for letting me know. I think I can do my best for everyone in the frontier.”

I turned from His Highness Gresis to His Majesty King Leroy and made a formal request.

“His Majesty King Leroy, I have a favor to ask of you.”

“Speak.”

“Healer is an alien power. It can save people, but it can also invite suspicion and confusion. That’s why it’s been kept a secret even in my homeland. I would like to take the form of a doctor’s assistant so that it will not be known to the general public.”

There was a pause while His Majesty King Leroy thought about it.

Will it be rejected?

“That would be good. As Lilith wishes, I promise to keep Healer a secret. Then, Lilith strongly desired to dispatch a royal doctor to the frontier, and she won’t get the infectious disease. So I allowed her to accompany them as an assistant. This is what I will tell the Margrave.”

“Thank you for listening to my request.”

His Majesty King Leroy nodded with a gentle look and turned to Prince Gresis.

“The frontier subjugation support and Lilith’s escort will be assigned to the Royal Knights’ Monster Subjugation Unit led by Gresis. The selection of unit members, the caretaker on the way, and the royal palace doctor to be dispatched will be left to Gresis.”

“Understood.”

“Then, make your preparations and head for the frontier tomorrow morning.”

“”Yes.””

After finishing the conversation, I left the office with HIs Highness Gresis.

While His Highness was there, Sanse, my exclusive bodyguard, was on standby.

“Frontier Knights especially hate humans. Then may be offensive, but I promise I’ll definitely protect you.”

His Highness Gresis made a clear declaration.

“Yes, thank you. It’s very reassuring.”

“I’m going to ask Crane, who Lilith knows well, to be the accompanying doctor. Is that okay?”

“Yes, it’s good if it’s Crane. I look forward to working with him.”

“Then, I’ll go back to the knights’ office for now. Lilith should also get ready.”

I was happy to hear that.

“Yeah, I just remembered something important. To send monster meat to my homeland, it’s best to go from the frontier. I was told that by the head chef, Bane. So I need to receive the recipe from him.”

With this, I can send monster meat to my brother.

“Wait a minute! Did you really mean to carry out that plan? Before that, when were you with the head chef Bane. . . I’m in a hurry right now, so let’s talk about it after we go back.”

His Highness Gresis gently stroked my head and left quickly.

“I’ll wait for you at home.”

Although the distance was quite far, I called out to the back that was leaving.

Suddenly, His Highness Gresis turned around and quickly raised one hand as if to reply to me.

Then he turned his back again and left.

“Huh? Did he hear me?”

It must have been a very small voice.

“If it’s that much, it can be heard with ease. If I concentrate, I can even I can hear the sound of the whistle blowing from the headquarters of the Knights.”

I was surprised when the escort, Sanse, responded to my soliloquy.

That’s why Dolph knows that Prince Gresis will be back five minutes before he returns. . .

I’m still amazed by beastmen.
