The Hero King, Reincarnate to Master the Art of War ~And Thus, I Became The Strongest Knight Disciple (♀) in The World~

Chapter 151: 15-year-old Inglis and the Two Leading Actresses (4)

There were already quite a few people in the audience hall, their eyes drawn toward Inglis and Rafinha once the girls walked in.

「Ooh—Here she comes!」

「Beautiful as usual!」

「Hohou……So she is the rumored… Indeed, she is quite the……but still…」

Various exclaims were heard throughout the hall. Looking at their garments, most of them were members of the Imperial Guard Order, but there were others as well. Judging from their fine attire, were they nobles from the King’s close circle?

「Congratulations!」

And when someone spoke up——

「「Congratulations!」」

「「We’ll follow you for the rest of our lives!」」

Other cheers and applause broke out in succession.

「「……?」」

Neither Inglis nor Rafinha could understand what was going on, as they only could crane their neck in confusion Just what was all this congratulations for?

「Hold it, people. These two don’t know anything yet, don’t be too hasty.」

Redas called out to his men, he himself let out a chuckle.

「Come on, stand before His Majesty.」

With a polite gesture, Redas opened the way for Inglis and Rafinha then stationed himself where he stood. His attitude was like a subordinate or a vassal paying his superior all the courtesies. He was so humbled that it was just too unnatural.

「Y-, yes…」

Slightly bewildered, Inglis and Rafinha walked up to King Charleas who was seated on his throne. Inglis got down to one knee and gave the King a fervent greeting.

「Inglis Eux and Rafinha Wilford have arrived at your service.」

「Very well. Thank you for coming! I see now. You were a maid back then, but now a student of the Knight Academy……Nevertheless, the flower retains her beauty.」

「——Thank you very much.」

Still, Inglis would rather pick the fruit than the flower. Rather than the flatteries, Inglis would like to engage in the feast instead. There was a limit to how much she could suppress the rumblings of her stomach. It would be embarrassing if it was to be heard in this very situation. She had to eat, ASAP.

「Many of you were there, while some of you may not have seen their faces before. These two are the ones who saved my life in the last incident! And I have been indebted to them! To you, my deepest gratitude.」

King Charleas bowed to them. Inglis had had this impression of him for a while now, but he really was a man who wouldn’t adhere to pretension and reputation. Which was why he could easily bow his head to mere Academy students like them.
