(How could His Highness Arnold be here!? Regardless of the formal knight training, I can't believe the Crown Prince is coming to train the candidates!!

Even Theodore said Arnold would never take a trip to this training ground.

But there's no way you can mistakenly see the sturdy figure standing in front of you.

…………

…………

Arnold stared silently at me and I felt the cold sweat tell me it was sloppy.

Would it be about a second if it were time? It would be as short as a blink to others, but from a leachet it feels a lot longer.

In a knight's life, I could see the sights around me slowly during a pressing battle, but what is this tension even though I haven't even held a sword?

――……

That's when Leishe got up.

Arnold took his gaze off the leachet all the time and ordered his subordinate standing next to him to do so.

"Rovine, start training now."

(... Huh!?

Back to back with a clapped leachet, Arnold continues to say pale words.

"I want to see the trainees move. What's going on with the training program?

"Ha. We have already incorporated the matching. Flexibility and Running, then Muscle Strength, but what will you do?"

"Then make arrangements after flexibility. Make sure your body is fully disassembled and free from physical drain."

With Arnold just talking about something, the trainees seemed to have stretched spines. Except once earlier, Arnold doesn't even look at Leishe.

(I wonder if they haven't noticed......!?

- No, there's no reason for that.

Put as much correction as you want into the hopeful observations that sprang up in your mind.

Though he was wearing a short haired rash, his face just changed his impression with a little makeup. If you see someone who knows Liesche, they'll notice you at a glance.

In the first place, no matter what you were doing to drastically change your face, the other person is Arnold.

I'm only willing to be spotted by Liesche's standing, walking, a little movement habit, etc.

(Still, I should have just escaped for ten days! What does it mean to bowl in here with His Highness Arnold, who is busy on official business......!?

Following Alnort's orders, Lovine gives instructions to the candidates.

"Now, as usual, come in first from flexibility. Just because His Royal Highness Arnold needs it, don't let it float."

"Yes!"

Reply with your voices together, scattered in their usual places. Liesche also rushed to the corner of the training ground, while gently exploring the signs of Arnold.

"Hey Lou, that's amazing! That Honorable Arnold is real!?

"Ugh, yeah, good for you, Fritz."

Leishe, with a convulsive laugh, tries to hold another hopeful observation.

(Maybe you're going to miss it)

I decided not to realize the existence of a leachet or something, and maybe he won't say anything.

If so, Leishe can continue his training here as well.

It was a condition with Theodore, 'hiding it through Arnold during training, and having yourself present when revealing the truth after training' can also somehow be protected?

With a hint of anticipation, I finished my usual training and matchmaking, after that.

"- So?"

………………

Leishe, summoned behind the training ground, was desperate, sandwiched between the wall and Arnold.

During the course of his training, Arnold did not mind any leashes and was analyzing the trainees with Rovine.

I prayed it would end without anything happening like this, but such thoughts are naturally smashed.

"What the hell are you doing here?"

"Uh..."

Looked down from close quarters, I can't see Arnold's face properly. Leishe, who had his back strung against the wall, deflects his face.

"Ko... Your Royal Highness is in a good mood... I would like to say a quick word to one of the trainees, and I know how delightful they are..."

"... Hmm?

I'll try to pretend to be a trainee for once, knowing the whiteness. Besides, I know there's no sign of anyone around, but don't let them hear you have a bad conversation.

"I see."

Arnold, having heard Liesche's words, broadly reached out.

Alnort, who often wears black gloves these days, is a bare hand who is wearing nothing right now.

If anything, Arnold nodded Liesche's face with both his hands, trying to hold her cheeks more.

"Huh!?

"If you're not who I think you are, that means you don't mind if I touch you directly."

Suddenly they say that, and I'm surprised.

"I'm basically trying not to break a contract with my fiancée.... but if you're dealing with a cadet, you're not obliged to take that into account."

(or... my face is close!?

Peeked in with both hands facing upwards, a neat face closer and closer.

The appearance of Arnold, as beautiful as a work of art many times, is enough to be considered poisonous to see at close range.

(And this feeling, somewhere once before...)

That's what I thought, and I remembered it unexpectedly.

When you were touched by the cheeks, turned upwards, and touched by Arnold's chills.

At that moment, the feeling of breathlessness passed clearly and my cheeks got hot all at once.

"... Huh!

Arnold's hands are limp and cold.

Would Arnold have understood what he had remembered? Thinking about it, I was increasingly blind to his eyes.

But Arnolt has no mercy for such a leachet.

"Look. Try to argue with me quickly."

"Your Highness...!! At first I thought you were angry, but you're actually having a lot of fun!?

"Why? I don't have a hobby of playing with just candidates."

With that said, Arnold holds Leishe's cheek with both hands. Instead, when I was moved, I couldn't speak well, but at that time I noticed unexpectedly.

"Your Highness Arnold, once you leave!

"Say no."

"'Cause people are coming... eh"

Signs approaching and footsteps. Even Arnold should have noticed, but there's no way he's going to stop.

"Hey, Lou? Lucius, where..."

A person just like Liesche thought stepped behind the training ground. It's as eye-catching and breathtaking as you want.

There he was, Fritz, the same candidate.

"Ah."

And be witnessed as much as you want.

Arnold cornered me to the wall, twisting my face with both hands, and peeking up close at this current situation.

"Ah, Prince Arnold!?

Fritz, who apparently called it that by accident, rushes back to saying it.

"Then not His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!! What, that, Lou!? Why!?"

"Fritz! No, this is not!

It's nothing. It's just a joke. I tried to correct Arnold's behavior before it was misunderstood, but Fritz screamed in an inverted voice.

"And excuse me!!

(What!?

Fritz rushes out before Leishe says anything.

"Hey Fritz, wait......!

I called it off, but his signs ran straight through the line.

"Ah... Your Highness Arnold!? People have seen me. Now I want to! He's absolutely fine, but what rumors depend on who he is!

"How about it because they made a rumor? You got a problem with that?

"It's huge!

"Heh. What's the point?"

Even after Fritz came, Arnold never took his gaze off the leachet. It's a big difference from what I was training for earlier.

"Ko......"

Liesche opens her mouth, feeling like she has to say something sexually embarrassing for some reason.

"My fiancée, isn't she here..."

……

Then Arnold stopped his hand perfectly.

Strange silence flows, but what the hell time is this? Somewhat when I thought so, Arnold said.

"Well, don't be."

"Oh, you will. You will! So here's the candidate..."

"Though"

"Wapu."

He pressed his cheek against me again, and a strange voice appeared.

"'Just a Cadet' is a very disrespectful way to turn to me."

"Uggghhh..."

That's what they say, and Liesche decides to be ready. I'm sorry to Theodore for cooperating, but this is the limit.

"... sorry"

"You don't know what your apology is for. Tell me exactly what you did with your own mouth."

"Wow, I was secretly dressed as a man to His Royal Highness and diving into training cadets! Sincerely sorry!

"Excellent."

Hands all the way apart, the finally liberated leachette crouched naggingly on the spot.

"Ha ha..."

It's kind of a strange feeling, like the cheeks that were twirling in Arnold are hot, and the chills in my hands are still there. Nudge from the top with your own hands and take a deep breath.

Arnold, after all, wouldn't have seemed to have just a little fun. Looking down at the leachet, which drained more than training, he has asked:

"So? What are you up to this time imitating"

"Purely, I want to work out my body"

……

"It's true!?

I'm out of my mind with suspicious eyes. But I'm the one who tried to deceive Arnold, so I can't help it either.

"Your Highness, why did you come to inspect the candidate yourself?

When asked, Arnold said this after a few moments, it didn't seem like he cared about the expression alone.

"... I heard that the candidates this semester had a recommendation in Theodore's name"

I mean, it's about the leashes.

But what surprised Liesche was the fact that 'Arnold cared about Theodore's recommended person'.

(Though His Highness Theodore said His Highness Arnold would never show his face in the training venue of the candidate...)

But it wasn't.

At the same time Leishe is going to be happy, she wants to teach Theodore about this quickly.

(Your Highness Theodore, I wonder what your face would look like)

"Let's get back to it."

I tightened my body tight.
