The eminence of a true king

After returning to the royal capital.

Leon and Anis controlled the flying brooms and landed in the rose garden. The blonde princess was getting ready for dinner before heading back to her palace.

However, at this moment.

"Target found!"

"Everyone attack!"

"Eh? What happened? What happened?"

Suddenly, a large number of knights wearing silver-white armor appeared from all corners of the courtyard.

Another red-haired maid also came. She was Anis' exclusive maid, Ilya.

Leon raised his eyebrows, thinking that what is supposed to come will always come. Nee-san, I wish you good luck tonight.

"Lady Anisphia, I have been waiting for you for a long time. I am also sorry for disturbing you like this. Please forgive Your Highness Leon."

"No problem, please do whatever you want."

"Thank you very much for your generosity."

"Ah, what's going on, Leon-chan?"

Leon, who understood perfectly what was happening, gave Anis an encouraging look and then walked towards his castle without looking back.

The blonde princess, who had a bad feeling, was about to chase her, but...

"Lady Anisphia, His Majesty the King said he wants to discuss with you about canceling the etiquette classes and taking the prince to defeat the A-rank monsters."

"For freedom--!!"

Anis decisively grabbed the flying broom and prepared mud to lubricate the road. Her reaction was not slow, and she realized that she was ambushed!

However, the knights who fought with Anis in the past already mastered her action patterns and were well trained to deal with her.

"Hurry up and block Princess Anisphia's path!"

"Get her flying accessories!"

"Use the third formation! Don't let His Highness get away!"

"Royal Knights, now is the time to show our faith... Who is the person who guards His Majesty the King's peace of mind!"

"This is the moment! Come on, everyone!"

The heroic knights with unparalleled momentum charged towards the princess. The momentum was so loud that it almost resounded throughout the entire royal capital... If this momentum was released on the battlefield, they would be absolutely invincible.

"Don't even think about it! No one can stop my freedom!"

Anis's emerald eyes were full of seriousness, and she was not afraid even if she had to deal with all the knights alone. What a brave girl.

Five minutes later.

The blonde princess was tied up like a rice ball and hung with a piece of wood. She was carried towards the palace.

"Wait a minute! Why is it just me? Where's Leon-chan!? Aren't the two of us supposed to be together?!"

"His Majesty the King said that His Highness the Second Prince must have been influenced by you, so it's all Lady Anisphia's fault, and His Highness the Second Prince is not to blame."

"I don't accept this! I protest! Leon-chan is obviously the protagonist today! Although I was the one who took him away, but..."

"Okay, the testimony was taken, and the princess confessed."

"You bastards!!"

According to reports from the knights on duty, the king and queen fought for eight hundred rounds, and this ended with her research funding being cut by 90% the following month, and the king's stomach pain worsening.

...and then there is someone who has nothing wrong with him...

"Well, you guys are going to use this from now on."

"…Your Highness."

After bringing the mother and daughter back, Leon immediately began to transform the girl.

First, she threw her into the bathroom and told her to take a shower, and then asked the royal family's exclusive tailoring shop to help her change her appearance.

Ningguang's previous clothes, which were full of seams and patches, were thrown away, the rags in Leon's castle are cleaner than her old clothes.

And now.

Ningguang is wearing a beautiful platinum dress with wide brown sleeves, a white skirt, a gold bodysuit, and a clip in her long white hair.

Look in the mirror.

Ningguang was a little unrecognizable.

Am I really me?

Now she is more beautiful than many aristocratic daughters. At least Leon, who has seen illustrations of aristocratic daughters across the country, is qualified to comment.

"You weren't an ugly duckling in the first place, but now you've really turned into a golden swan. Not bad, huh? Why are you so reserved? Don't you like it?"

"No, it's just... I've never worn such nice clothes."

Ningguang was a little nervous. She didn't even dare to move for fear of accidentally causing wrinkles.

"This is necessary. You are mine now, and your image is also related to my face. Don't worry... There are no fools in this world who dare attack my people."

Leon raised his hand and touched the girl's head.

Tell her that there is no need to hide her appearance and dress deliberately. Under his protection, she can display her beauty and talent to her heart's content.

Since most of the [Night Raid] girls have moved to the new base, many dormitories are free. Ningguang and her mother share a room, which is already bigger than the hut they used to have.

The white-haired girl was still dizzy during her meal. The contrast between suddenly moving from a dilapidated cabin to a luxurious castle was too great.

"Your Highness's castle is so big. I feel like I might get lost if I'm not careful."

"Really? It's actually quite small."

Leon shrugged. In fact, his castle was smaller than Anis and Algard. As he was not the queen's son, he was last in line to the throne.

But this was because of the public opinion of the nobles, and the king had to do it. As compensation, Leon received most of the pocket money every month, and he was basically uncontrolled.

Ningguang blinked after hearing this.

"So when I make money in the future, I will definitely build a bigger castle for His Highness."

"Hahaha, okay, I'm looking forward to it. So remember to make it higher when you build it. No, let's just build a castle flying in the sky. After all, I like the feeling of looking down."

"Hmm!"

In fact, this is just Leon's prank, but what he didn't expect is...

In the near future, Ningguang built him a castle that could fly into the sky and overlook the world.
