Chapter 33

I was surprised by the infinite amount of favor that they showed me for seemingly no reason.

To be precise, I was impressed.

When I was at the orphanage, no one ever thought about protecting me.

I was just like a neighborhood kid who was kicked around.

However, they were looking at me as the young lady who they will serve for a long time.

'Even the knights are this kind, why are they called the villain family?!'

Since the image people have of the Grand Duke is negative because they think he is violent, the Amethyst Knights were also called the Monster Knights.

I had to stop my tears from falling as I felt their kindness directed towards me.

"Do I have to be a real Knight to volunteer?"

At that time, a familiar voice rang out loud in the training room.

It's a voice that is cool and aloof to everyone, but a friendly voice when spoken to me.

It was Wyndert.

"Of course. We can't appoint a knight who isn't skilled enough to be an actual knight to protect Shushu."

The Grand Duke spoke to them in an open manner.

"I want to volunteer."

"Wyndert, you just said. I have no intention of plucking seeds."
(T/N: I'm not sure about its meaning but here's two according to the context. One, Grand Duke had no intention of making his own son aka 'seed' be a knight. Second, he doesn't want to use an undertrained knight to protect Shuelina, the same with 'plucking seeds' because it was too young.)

Wyndert's eyes burned in stubbornness at the words of the Grand Duke.

"If so, I ask you to appoint me as an official knight!"

At Wyndert's reply, the surroundings suddenly turned cold for a moment.

As I took a closer look, I could see the Grand Duke's forehead become wrinkled.

"I think it is absurd that I cannot apply because I am young without any of you even seeing my skills."

At Wyndert's words, the surrounding knights began to mutter.

It was because they all realized that the Grand Duke was not denying his statement.

"Certainly, it's not easy for us to fight him either..."

"It's not that easy to beat him, we're always just losing."

"But he's still too young... "

It's as if they're fighting. Wyndert certainly seemed to be very good.

The Grand Duke frowned his forehead and asked Wyndert.

"Is there any reason for you to be an escort?"

"I need to honor the promise I made. I will not put her in danger again and will protect her."

Wyndert looked straight at the Grand Duke with his eyes blazing with fighting spirit.

His dark hair fluttered in the wind and looked young, but he also gave off an aura of trustworthiness because of his strong expression.

Is it all to keep the promise you made to me?

'No one will ever be able to touch you again.'

His heartbreakingly concerned and comforting voice whispered in my ear as he patted my shaking back with a steady hand of his.
