Chapter 5: The Attack on the Crown Prince (Part 1)

Several days after Euphinia fell ill, a visitor—her very first since being confined to her bed—came knocking at her door early in the morning. She was still sleeping, so Adel, who had woken up a short while ago, slipped out quietly to avoid waking her.

“What is your business?”

To her surprise, the visitor screamed the moment he saw her. “Ahhhhh!”

“Shh! Princess is sleeping. Keep your voice down!”

“I-I’m sorry!” the young man apologized, looking very guilty. Adel recognized him, but for some reason, he was very flustered and his face was worryingly crimson.

“Prince Tristan, what brings you here this morning?” Adel asked again.

The visitor was Crown Prince Tristan of Torust. Last Adel heard, he was bedridden due to his wounds. Apparently he had recovered enough to be up and moving about.

“U-U-Um, it’s, well, I, uh...”

“Saint Adel,” interrupted Belzen, who was standing behind Tristan and also looking a little uncomfortable, “please get dressed first. The conversation can wait.”

“Hm?”

Only when it was pointed out did Adel realized that she was only wearing her underwear. She had just woken up, so it couldn’t be helped.

“Ah, my apologies. Give me a moment,” Adel said, ducking back inside the room.

As Tristan stared at the door in a daze, Belzen bowed his head in apology.

“As a fellow knight of Wendill, please allow me to apologize on her behalf.”

“A-Aha ha, it’s f-fine... Nothing fazes her, it seems.”

Despite having been seen in her underwear, Adel did not seem flustered in the slightest. For Tristan, however, Adel’s white, lustrous skin and alluring curves left such a lasting impression he was not going to forget the sight for quite a while.

“I’m sure it’s because of how singularly dedicated she is to protecting her liege,” Tristan murmured. “That’s why she’s able to deal with everything so calmly. She was the very picture of radiance when saving me in profane land.”

“I’m...not sure I’d put it that way. Indeed, my men and I acknowledge her strength, but I feel like everything else is just because she lacked a proper upbringing.”

Click.

Just after Belzen’s comment, the door opened and Adel reappeared, fully clothed. She frowned at the looks the two men gave her.

“What?” she asked.

“U-Uh, it’s nothing, Saint Adel.”

“I-Indeed! What Prince Tristan said.”

Adel studied the guests for a brief moment, her guard still up. “If you say so. So, business?”

Tristan bowed gracefully. “As you see, I have pulled through, thanks to yours and Princess Euphinia’s efforts. Now, I am able to move about somewhat. I know dropping by without advance notice is ill-mannered, but I wanted to express my gratitude in person.”

The prince had pleasant features, an affable demeanor, and spoke courteously. He emanated the dignity of a royal, just as Euphinia did. If Adel didn’t know what he would become in the future, she just might have had a favorable impression of him.

“Her Highness is still resting. If you want, I can pass on a message.”

“Saint Adel, Crown Prince Tristan is visiting in person. Courtesy dictates that you wake Princess Euphinia and—”

“She is feeling unwell.
