A Princess Pride is her Title : The Most Beloved Princess

Protected

"This princes---"

"Should we continue the match now, your Majesty?" Froilan asked.

"Oh...Right...But I want to ask this mysteriou--"

"Black Knight Sherlock's won vs. Golden Hawk Michael. Next match contender. Step forward!" Randy shouted.

The King raised his brow but says nothing more.

Rodrigo is looking at Froilan. Not only him but the Prime Minister too.

'What are they trying to hide?'

"Michael.....It is good to say it but...if someone asked you..."

"I know...Princess Emerald also told me not to gave her name."
Michael nods.

'Michael.....Do not bring up my name if you made a speech.'

'Oh...You believe I will win, Princess?'

'Haha..Well, just want to make sure...Cause..
I don't want trouble running my way.'

'What do you mean?'

'Royal Family is not as peaceful and glorious at it sounded. If the King hearr my name and become even a tiny bit interested.....my sisters will......make my life a living hell.'

Michael clenched his fist.
"Woman are scary."

The match continued.
Surprisingly, all the Golden Hawk eyed Squad and the Black Knights fought so well and tenaciously.
The Black Knight won at the end but it is one hell of a journey.

The King is awed.

"I am able to see the Soldiers giving their all to prove themselves and to be the sword for our kingdom. I commend everyone of you."

Claps.

Emerald is relaxing at her garden.

Shik.shik.shik.
Clank.

Emerald frown seeing familiar faces kneeling in front of her while she lazily drinking tea.

"What?"

"Princess, I won."
A sturdy looking man with a cold and serious face raised his face. He is the guy who helps her to carry her push cart.

"Hmmm..Congratulations."

She is still frowning.

'What is this got to do with me?'

"Princess, Will you....give a small speech?"

"Why?"
She looks at Froilan who is on the side standing while his arms crosses and seriously looking at her.

"This man offers his win to you, princess."

"Eh? I remember Michael saying the same thing but.....why to me?"

"Because the princess inspire me."

"Now....That is creepy."
She sighs and stood up.
She looks at the men kneeling in an orderly manner. A knight.
The best soldier of the Kingdom that protects the King's safety.

Why are the strongest swords kneeling in front of her?

"Ahem"

'I guess I have to give a speech or they won't leave me alone.'

"You win a battle and you were given honor. Is that all?"

Everyone are still kneeling but they raise their head to look qt the girl that is only 1/4 of their height.
