The day after the Knights of the Neighbouring States went to see the said former noble warlord who came to the church in the Territory. Christhalt waited in the mansion's office for his first reunion with his comrades in five years.

"Master Leonid has arrived"

I thought I heard the horse hissing, and Daniel, the butler, came to inform the visitor.

"Let me through here."

Ordered to lead him to the office, Daniel immediately brings Leonid back.

Seeing him for the first time in five years, he looked a little bigger.

When we first met, Leonid was deputy chief, but now he's promoted to chief.

Christhalt, on the other hand, had also gained domestic confidence and set the stage for his status as Count.

"Long time no see, Leonid. Since the bandit crusade at the border?

"... do you?

Leonid's attitude toward the nostalgic Christopherto was not quite the same.

Speaking of like him, like him.

"I'm glad you kept the horse. Thank you, bye."

The stables in his purchased cabin were broken, which meant he kept his horse yesterday.

Though I should have come to pick that up... it looks like the first time I've greeted you in five years was at last.

Just saying the story is over, Leonid tries to leave the room.

"Wait, wait"

"I told him to show his face when he picked it up."

To Leonid, who was about to leave, Christhalt devoured him.

"You're also a Knights chief and an Earl nobleman, so let's get used to reading the air. This is a visit, so keep me posted."

"I fixed the stables that were next to the cabin, nothing else will change"

"Oh, yeah..."

No. This Park Min-Jen, you bastard.

I'm frightened, and I'm not even sighing.

Refreshing his mind, Christhalt asked with a noble smile.

"I can't believe you're moving in with every horse you love."

"Naturally. I'm gonna have a whole year off."

- - I've already found out why you moved.

Squeeze in your heart.

You're in trouble for not being able to hide it at all.

I'm going to go out with you.

"I hear you've settled around the princess in the castle, and it's peaceful."

As soon as I mouthed the topic, Leonid's eyes sharpened.

"Doesn't matter"

"Oh, yeah."

Pressured, Kristohardt hit the congruence.

- Scared... Miss Elizabeth's deportation is forbidden.

Keep in mind.

Leonid's glance is reassuring to go right back to his original lack of interest.

"Nevertheless... I guess this is the first time we've talked carefully"

Recommending the couch, he sat down like he had no choice.

Christhalt also sits across the street.

"Were you?

Leonid answered quickly.

After defeating the bandits, they were chased for post-processing and all they talked to Leonid about was reports of each other's harm and the number of bandits they had captured.

That's not the kind of opportunity the country would have had for two different people to drink, either, it should have.

- Really, you're scared of coincidences. In this case, is it fate? Though I'm only involved.

Why is the Knight Commander of the Kingdom of Mowers such an important figure in the territory of the neighbouring kingdom of Limayza, Crawleras, for his vacation, as he said himself earlier?

- Tracking love in the guise of a vacation, to be exact? Pursuit? No, pursuit?

With all the words that come to mind that are perfect for Leonid's situation today, Christhalt nibbles in his heart.

A series of recent disturbances involving neighbouring countries in the Kingdom of Mowers first calmed down with the expulsion of one courtier from the country.

Leonid, the Knight Commander of the Peaceful Kingdom of Mowers, is forced to take a year's leave by order from the King. Surprisingly, they've never taken a break before.

From there, it was a surprise.

Leonid chose his neighbor, Krolleras, not his own territory as a holiday destination.

The land was, oddly enough, a place where Christophardt was lord and Elizabeth, the maid of honor, was exiled and lived as a Sister.

People who knew nothing admired Leonid for going to watch the exiled lady even though she was on vacation.

But I found out that Christhalt, who knows who he is, is different.

- - Leonid's not the type to be that obsessed with the other guy, is he?

Be faithful to your mission and don't seem to rejoice in battle or testing your strength.

Emotional expression will be scarce, and one way or another, sentiment for others will be weak.

That he had gone out of his way to chase those who had been banished, and if it were to become a woman, there was only one thing to think about.

- It's love.

Incidentally, the most powerful knights in the country, with up to two names, take the form of short-term exchanges of commanders, formally as military exchanges, because there are various problems in spending their vacations in other countries.

In other words, as Leonid came to the Kingdom of Limayza, the Kingdom of Mowers is also visited by the head of a two-named neighbouring country.

"It's time, okay? I'm busy."

- Even though you're on vacation? One, come to the neighboring country, busy?

Stops him from trying to get up while he clings to his heart.

"Wait... Actually, I wanted to ask you something"

"What?

Christhalt mouthed the script he had prepared in advance.

"Around here, you're haunted by bandits again."

"What? Where? What's the scale?

I move my eyebrows slightly and Leonid reacts excessively.

- I guess I'm so worried.

Christhalt's story is a total lie I thought for Leonid, but it doesn't look like he suspects it.

I can desperately look forward to laughing.

"It's a size you can't even call the Bandits. There are still about five of us, so there is no such thing as Ajito. It would be helpful if you could keep an eye on the village."

"Naturally. Even though I am on vacation, as a resident I will cooperate in policing"

Leonid agrees with the slight taste.

- "The Great Sword of the Holy Lion" looks around, what a heavily guarded village.

Bandits will be surprised, too.

Conversely, there are some serious secrets that rock the country, and the bad guys might come together.

- Sounds like fun.

As a lord, I'm in trouble, but I can't help but get excited every day after I find out Leonid is coming.

So much so that I want to move over next to his bought cabin.

- Well, horses could kick me, so I'll stop.

"It'll help. If you look around, now you can look at each other naturally."

"... with whom?

Subtly, Leonid solidified for a moment and immediately stumbled away.

- - I think you found out, but you haven't noticed...?

I've been trying to be silent and supportive, but the prank comes up.

"It's Miss Elizabeth, Sister, who was banished before you arrived."

- Whatever you think, you've been after him with plenty of favor, haven't you?

I look forward to his next words and actions on how to mislead.

"It doesn't matter."

I've been cutting my shira.

Leonid-like return indeed.

You can enjoy the reaction more, but that's all it takes to tear it up.

- Let's piss him off and stop him before he gets made into two serious pieces with a big sword.

But I hear Leonid went to see Elizabeth first.

It will soon become a rumor and some will realize the sincerity.

- Really, are you okay? Though I seem like a bad romantic...... maybe I should at least support you.

It is likely that your vacation will end without any progress if you stay this way.

After all, it may be necessary not only to watch the two of them from afar, but also to push their backs aggressively as friends.

"Come on, Leo"

Christhalt slapped Leonid on the shoulder.

The Knights chief here is not a strong man on the battlefield, but one man troubled by a woman of his choice.

There will be familiarity, and if only in that regard, Christhalt will be more experienced and knowledgeable.

"Don't call me familiar all of a sudden"

Because I said it caged the meaning of familiarity and support, but he doesn't like it in person.

"Spend a long vacation in the same territory, make yourself at home. Chris can talk about me."

"Go ahead, I can't call you that weird. Are you done with your errands? I'm going. I took care of the horse."

Now it's time to get up and leave the office.

I didn't even stop Christhalt anymore.

I can't stop being busy with my feelings for Elizabeth.

"Ah, one more thing. Miss Elizabeth likes horses."

…………

Cristhardt remembered with his horse, speaking of advice to him.

For a moment, Leonid stops and leaves the room with a big crotch.

- Between now, do you think I heard good things?

Smile and anticipate in Leonid's mind.

"... you're seriously ill. I still don't know Miss Elizabeth."

I only met him once.

When exiled she came to greet the lord Christhalt.

When Christhalt entered the office late, she had a gentle look at the stable she could see through the window.

That look, in the face of Miss Elizabeth, who is unmistakable...

There, I could not feel the pride or meanness of being the Duke's Lady I had been hearing about.

And I remember her answer when I asked her if she liked riding horses impressively.

'I just like watching you run free'

And I smiled somewhere.
