The days of the moon quickly passed, and the day came to see King Frederick.
As a visiting nobleman, the dress I chose was not a woman's dress, but a man's gown.
Gail had advised him to choose a dress for the ladies, but in order to serve the kingdom with his sword, he pushed out the dress and had it prepared for him.
"Lord Alfine, don't you have to be nervous like that?" I've met King Frederick once. "
In the carriage heading to the Imperial Castle, Jale, who was sitting next to her, called out.
Even if you get nervous and say it, the opponent is the greatest person in the country, and you can't do it!
From the point of view of Gyal, who served as a maiden and still sits beside King Frederick as head of the Kingsguard, I think that climbing the castle is part of my daily routine.
With a spare expression, when I saw Gail's face that was sniffing, my frustration and irritation grew.
Anger prompted me to bite my nails, but I couldn't bite here, so I took a small exhale and suppressed my impulse.
I'm not as used to it as Gail-sama.
“It's all right, it's all right. I told King Frederick about Lord Alfine, and he told me not to be too hard on protocol. There's nothing wrong with that."
Move the seat to the opposite seat to avoid the hand of Gyll who tried to hold her shoulder.
Patience and patience until I became a [Sword Saint] and a guide to swordsmanship.
I want to put my fist in the face of Gail, but I can understand that all the patience I've had until now will be a blister.
"I understand." We thank King Frederick for his generous hospitality and Lord Gail for his service. ”
"If you think so, it's worth it." Now, it's time to get there. "
Looking around, the horse-drawn carriage stood in front of the royal palace.
According to Vigo, ordinary nobles get off their carriages in front of the bridge entering the royal castle and walk across the bridge.
However, it seems that the Commander of the Kingsguard, Gail, has been granted the privilege to enter the royal palace in order to have military authority.
When the guru opens the door, Jale goes down first and escorts me.
I followed Jyle behind me, and as I entered the Royal Palace, I made my second ascent.
I waited for a while with my head drooping in the midst of the passage, and there was a sound of someone sitting on the throne in a slightly higher place with the sound of clothes rubbing.
"King Frederick, this is Alfine, the new head of the Wolfort family, who wanted to see you."
"This time, I'm very happy that you forgive me." From now on, you will have the power of your own sword to work for the Kingdom of Hartford. ”
Lower your hanging head even deeper.
"Yes, don't be hard on me." Alfine, raise your head. "
Hah!
According to the king's orders, King Frederick looked up with a gentle, blonde face at the end of his gaze.
A great king who survived what was described as the greatest national disaster since the founding of the People's Republic and rebuilt the devastated Kingdom of Hartford.
"Since the report of the Dinobot Gabrielle's Crusade." Did you make it a disaster? "
“Yes, I've been busy, but I'm staying healthy without any illness.”
I see, I see.
Feel familiar with Nico and King Frederick laughing.
"The guy from Gyal said he really wanted to nominate Lord Alfine for the [Sword Saint]." Forgive me for the way in which you have involved Lord Alfine, who was an adventurer in the field. "
"Well, that's not the case." [Sword Saint] I'm convinced myself-- "
Lord Alfine, you are before the king.
The usual tone came out of the crotch, and Gyal cried out.
Damn it! King Frederick talks too close to me, so I was alarmed!?
"I thought you said you weren't looking for good manners."
"Ha! If the king so declares..."
Gail bowed her head to King Frederick and stepped back.
"Even when the [Sword Saint] was inaugurated, other nobles showed difficulty, and when they saw the match that was going to be held today, they decided to make a selection. Naturally, I took it for granted that the [Sword Saint] 's prowess was recognized even by the demon dragon Gabrielle's crusade, which had always threatened the King's capital. There are a lot of people who can't be convinced without actually showing them."
"I am fully satisfied that you have prepared the stage for King Frederick's pre-match. We are also delighted to be able to compete with the proud armies of the Hartford Kingdom.”
"I see, if you think so, I can enjoy Lord Alfine's swordsmanship honestly." Today, Boundary Boy Lloyd is also here. "
Lloyd the Great's Hero is here!?
It was said that I hardly ever came to the capital.
Maybe you were called in for a match?
"Of course, I won't let you participate in the game." It was the treasure of the kingdom. Sir Alfine wants advice on whether or not the Sword Saint is right for you. "
I was relieved by King Frederick's words.
The only one I didn't think I could win was the heroic Lloyd.
I was old enough to become a grandfather, and my physical strength would have dropped, but I heard that my swordsmanship skills were amazing, and I heard rumors that I was practicing my swords without missing anything.
If possible, you wanted to fight.
"There will be times when we can make a match." It seems that he hasn't lost interest in swordsmanship yet. "
"I understand." I look forward to that day. "
"Hmm, keep it that way." Now I will serve you as Alphine Wolffort, the Baroness of the Hartford Kingdom. "
"Haha! My sword will be dedicated for life to King Frederick and the people of the Hartford Kingdom."
Once again, I bowed my head deeply.
"Well then, I'm looking forward to the match." I think I have a little more eye for swordsmanship. "
Hah! I'll do my best to suit the eyes of King Frederick.
And when king Frederick heard my word, he took his seat, and departed from the midst of the eyes.
You see, there was a slight problem, but it was safe.
"Now, Lord Alfine, this is the real thing." Show me your overwhelming sword skills in the match. Today, there are quite a few common people and nobles. "
Yes, I understand.
After returning the nod to Gyal's words, we decided to leave for a training ground for the Royal Army, where the previous match would take place.
