Even if you succeed in jobless reincarnation and time magic, you must live life to the fullest.

……

I quickly read the letter from beginning to end.

There were no hidden hints in the confirmation letter.

"So, this is... Princess Benedict Gingdragoon?"

"Yes."

The answer came not from the princess, but from the knight.

To be precise.

From the moment she entered the classroom until now, the princess with the long, light blue hair hasn't uttered a single word.

I don't even know where my eyes are looking.

From the perspective of royal etiquette, this is somewhat impolite...

Or are you waiting for me to bow first?

Well, they are royalty after all.

Let's show a little respect.

I rose and stepped forward, bowing to Benedict with standard aristocratic etiquette.

“Nice to meet you, Your Highness. My name is Rudius Grerat.”

"..."

Benedict gripped the hem of her skirt and pursed her lips.

Not a word.

"..."

What's wrong with this guy?

Do you look down on me?

"that……"

"Your Excellency Rudius, in fact, Her Highness the Princess has never studied etiquette."

"She hasn't learned etiquette... but isn't she a princess?"

After I asked this.

A bitter smile appeared on the knight's face.

"Please allow me to explain this matter later. Lord Rudius has already read the letter; what are your thoughts?"

Well, I have no objection.

I shrugged.

The contents of the letter were very simple.

Based on my previous reply, indicating that I cannot leave Sharia for the time being.

Therefore, the Kingdom of Wanglong decided to send a member of the royal family to learn gravity magic from me.

I also took the opportunity to study at this school and learn the various kinds of knowledge that are essential for ordinary people.

And that person is Benedict, who is standing right in front of me.

Precisely.

She is the eighteenth princess, Benedict Gingerdulagon.

eighteen.

Hearing this number made me both laugh and cry.

No further background information is required.

Just the fact that the sorting reached two digits made me understand Benedict's predicament.

Do not know why.

The Kingdom of Dragons has chosen to have Benedict learn gravity magic from me.

"Well then, since Your Excellency has no objections, the princess will be handed over to you."

"Uh-huh?"

I was stunned.

"Wait a minute, what do you mean by 'hand it over to me'?"

"Because I need to return to the Kingdom of Wanglong immediately, I cannot stay here. I hope that Your Highness will take good care of her during your studies here."

"That's what the knight said."

He took out a bag of gold coins and handed it to me.

Ok……

Judging from the weight, it's probably equivalent to thirty Asura gold coins.

That's a considerable fortune.

With that much money, you could support her for the rest of her life without any problem...

Weird.

I don't lack money at all.

That's not the point at all.

"Come with me for a moment."

I pulled Mr. Knight aside.

Benedict looked over with some unease.

That being said, it's still best not to say these things to her face.

"I'm telling you, as a knight, are you really going to abandon your princess and run away?"

I questioned him in a somewhat serious tone.

"...No, Lord Rudius, you've probably misunderstood."

The knight smiled wryly and explained the situation to me.

……

The knight in front of me.

It wasn't the relationship between Ariel and Luke that I thought it was.

He actually belongs to the Black Dragon Knights of the Dragon King Kingdom.

Not Benedict's subordinate.

To be precise, Benedict had no subordinates.

Let alone knights, attendants, and guards.

There wasn't even a single servant.

The reason for this was her mother.

Her mother was a demon woman of unknown origin.

The king summoned her on a whim, and the child was born on a whim.

She has no right to the throne, and despite having the title of the eighteenth princess, she is not recognized as a royal child.

He received no education from childhood.

Not to mention skills like etiquette and magic that royalty must master.

Even basic skills like arithmetic and literacy, which are essential for ordinary people...

I don't understand it at all.

Their emotions are uneventful; they are not very talkative; and their facial expressions are unreadable.

She was known as the Waste Princess.

She is like this.

Rather than coming to learn gravity magic from me, it was more like they made up an excuse to be thrown out of the palace.

The knight who escorted her all the way here.

Although he also wanted to stay, he was, after all, a member of the Black Dragon Knights.

You must follow the instructions and return to your unit.

At last.

And so it has become the current, speechless situation.

"..."

Hearing such a statement.

I couldn't help but turn to look at Benedict.

She stood there expressionless.

He did not greet anyone else.

I didn't look anywhere.

He was just standing there.

……

"I understand."

I took a deep breath and gave the knight a slight bow.

“I will fulfill the contract I made with General Chagall back then. Please leave Your Highness to me.”
