<span>It wasn’t the first time she had dressed as a man, when she was a knight.


    <span>In her merchant life, Rishe traveled the world peddling.


    <span>Although she had hired an escort everywhere she went, it was still dangerous for a woman to travel alone.


    <span>In order to reduce the risk as much as possible, she took on the guise of a boy while traveling in danger zones and when her escort was short-handed.


    <span>The reason she came to live as a man in her knight’s life was also due to being dressed as a man when she encountered the members of the Order.


    <span>The fake name “Lucius” used this time was also what she used to call herself.


    <i><span>So far, I seem to have gone unnoticed. The knights who know ‘me’ don’t participate in the training of the candidates.</i>


    <span>Her coral hair was carefully tied up and held in ce with pins ands. This way, even if her hair was long, it could be bound up neatly.


    <span>On top was a high quality wig from the Aria Trading Company.


    <i><span>I tried all sorts of tricks, but it’s thanks to His Highness Theodore that people don’t suspect my identity.</i>


    <span>Theodore, the second prince of the Garkhain, scowled grandly when Rishe asked him to do this.


    <span>“Aren’t you using me wrong?”


    <span>That was yesterday. Theodore said it when she visited him in his office.


    <span>He fluffed his kinky ck hair and bounced it up and down, rested his cheeks on his hands on his desk and continued to speak.


    <span>“You want to be part of the knight-candidates’ training, and as a man? I’m not sure if that’s a good idea, but why should I help you?”


    <span>“Because you wrote to me the other day, that Your Highness Theodore would help me in my time of need.”


    <span>“I wrote it? I did write it!”


    <span>Perhaps he didn’t want the letter to be mentioned too much, Theodore raised his voice with a slight blush.


    <span>This boy, who was of the same age as Rishe, wore his expressions openly on his face unlike his brother Arnold.


    <span>“You know, sister-inw, I said that assuming that you wanted to take advantage of people in the underworld, or take advantage of the favs, or something like that.”


    <span>“At the moment, what I need is physical strength. “and by extension, save His Highness Arnolt! Not only that, it’s rted to helping His Highness Arnold!”


    <span>“What to do, I have no idea what Sister-inw is talking about…”


    <span>Theodore leaned back in the back of the big chair and looked into the distance.


    <span>“First off, is there any need for Sister-inw to blend in with the knight candidates? Why don’t we just have a knight guard to coach you?”


    <span>“I can’t ask you to devote that much manpower for my sake alone. You’d be worried if I were to associate with them normally, but I want to be trained mercilessly.”


    <span>“Wow, I can’t believe it. I can’t believe you’d go out of your way to torture yourself.”


    <span>Theodore oohed and ahhed and stuck his tongue out.


    <span>Rishe didn’t particrly want to torture herself in any way, but right now, she wasn’t strong enough.


    <span>“I think we’ll be training for 10 days, right? After that, I’ll be able to train properly on my own. But since I’vee to this country, I want to experience the training of the Garkhain military.”


    <span>“Hmm…”


    <span>Theodore listened with a cumbersome look on his face, but he suddenly looked like he had an inspiration.


    <span>“Wait.”


    <span>The next moment.


    <span>The beautiful boy in front of her smiled like a flower blooming.


    <span>“Uhm, Your Highness?”


    <span>“I think you’re on to something good.”


    <span>He had a girly, dainty smile, but it was strangely frightening.


    <span>Theodore stood up and plopped his hand into the office desk and looked into Rishe’s face.


    <span>“All right, I will cooperate with beautiful Sister-inw. I’ll do my best to make your wishese true.”


    <span>“What? Thank you, but why all of a sudden…?”


    <span>“Because it’s going to be fun.”


    <span>Theodore smirked, looking as if conniving an evil plot.


    <span>“I’m sure Brother never expected this either. His wife dresses up as a man and sneaks into the Order.”


    <i><span>I’m not so sure about that…</i>


    <span>Although she couldn’t give an immediate answer, she didn’t want to think that he could see through her actions that well.


    <span>Theodore, on the other hand, sat down in his chair again, in a jovial mood.


    <span>“Let’s do it, alright, let’s do it! I don’t believe this won’t stun Brother. There’s no reason not to take advantage of this opportunity.”


    <span>“I’m not trying to surprise His Highess Arnold, you know! I mean, Your Highness, haven’t you made up with your brother?”


    <span>“I-Hey, I want to see every expression on his face.”


    <span>As usual, Theodore proudly crooned and sang his unusual yearning promptly.
