Chapter 14

‘He has a very good personality!’

Kind and friendly and cheerful. It was the temperament of the South. Southerners, who always live in warm places, are famous for their good personalities. The slightly tanned skin, and the brown hair with slightly split ends as if it had been bleached in the sun, seemed to smell like salt.

‘Looking at how much money he spends, he looks like a very high-ranking nobleman, but looking at his modesty, it doesn’t seem like that…’

There was such a handsome man among the Southern nobility. She would have been known before. But she has never even heard of the name Phil. Semi-nobles from the south…

‘Even so, the Knights of La Frontera from the south are planning to visit, so you can get one from there!’

Heuk. She remembered what Dalia said the other day. Estelle’s eyes got bigger. No way.

“Is he the Knights of Frontera?”

Nicky squinted her eyes.

“Do you really think so?”

But thinking that way, she was right.

The Knights of La Frontera were the navy, facing the southern seas. The Knights were mostly made up of commoners seeking to raise their status. However, it is too easy to lose your life in a sea battle. The knights were also mostly semi-noble.

Instead, the Knights of La Frontera were also operating at great cost in the kingdom. The salary was large, so the applicants continued. In addition, all the pirate ships passing through the southern sea were another source of their income for La Frontera.

As for the distribution after the subjugation of pirates, the kingdom did not say anything, so many of the knights who went through the subjugation war were rich and retired.

“What are you talking about?”

Phil came back just in time. Estelle smiled quickly.

The young man grinned and looked at the maid as Estelle filled him in. The maid shook her head as if she didn’t know. He looked at Estelle again and asked back.

“Do you think I’m such a cool person?”

“Of course.”

The young man’s eyes widened when she answered quickly. Estelle said with her chin resting.

“You look many times better than I ever heard and imagined about the Frontera Knights.”

“Look, big hands, big shoulders.”

“Me?”

“Yeah. A tanned face too. You’re a very nice guy. You’re a trained warrior, right?”

The young man chuckled, not cooling his red cheeks.

“Isn’t that something you can have even if you’re not a part of the Frontera Knights?”

“But I heard that the Frontera Knights are in the capital now!”

“Is that so?”

The young man answered back as if it were a matter of course. But only his gaze was looking at her as if she were very cute. Phil’s eyes were bright. Estelle was excited to clap her hands.

Estelle entertained her guesses.

“The Knights of Frontera say it’s difficult to get married. I’ve heard that most marriages are decided by families. That’s why they get married in such a hurry. Right?”

“…and what?”

“The money you bought for the jewelry was probably from the pirate conquest!”

Hmm. The man smiled at her as if he were having a lot of fun.

“And…”

Estelle blinked. This is because it suddenly occurred to her that men in the sea are famous for promiscuity. The men who shoot the harbour to fight the pirates, before and after marriage…

“And?”

Phil asked playfully again, but Estelle mumbled. As she hesitated for a while, she could see the young man’s eyes getting thinner, but she was reluctant to be a mess in front of the person involved.

“There’s no more…”

“I see. Then shall I give you a prize?”

“Prize?”

The young man lightly held out something. He opened the well-packaged box and found a small sheepskin glove. The blue glove that Estelle saw with the young man the other day, exclaiming that it was so cute. It seems that he had memorized Estelle’s words and secretly bought it.

“Oh my…”

Estelle, looking down at the gloves, asked suddenly.

“Did I get it right?”

“Who knows?”

The young man only smirked. However, Estelle was sure that she must have guessed it right. She raised her chin and pretended to be arrogant.

“Ha ha.”

Soon, however, Estelle looked around for nothing, hugged the sheepskin gloves and whispered quietly.

“But this is a secret to the person you’re going to marry. You know?”

“…is it a secret?”

“Of course! Such pretty gloves. People are going to say something bad if they find out.”
