"Are you Mr. Black Spear?

Setuna was called out when she was watching the night view on the walls of the fortress of Balsar.

Leaving Gandion, the king's capital, half a day is about to pass. The distance traveled was small, and I could hardly get out on the logner side. As a result, we were to spend the night at the Balsar Fortress.

Setuna, woken up by Faria this morning, was asked about this assignment at the Royal Palace, where she was making a fuss about getting ready to leave. I was just talking about accompanying King Leongand as an escort to Myram, but I was tight on the royal SS-like task of guarding the King's side. The fact that the escorts were only the Lion's Tail squad added extra tension, but at the same time it was an honor. So much is trusted. When I thought so, I stopped worrying about muscle aches and general pain.

The companions outside Leongand were to have only a few servants for chores with his two proximities, plus three from the "Lion's Tail" squad. But.

Looking back, a woman stood. When I saw it during the day, I found it to be the owner of brown skin, but its beauty had been compromised in the darkness of the night. Naj zir-remanifra. Apparently, he was the one who escorted him a few days ago during his trip from Krebourg to Gandion. I asked Faria about it.

"Yes, sir"

"You don't have to be so nervous"

Nage laughed happily at how nervous this one was. But it was also natural to be nervous. She is a princess of the South and a rumored person who may marry Leongand. Even the princess is nervous, but if she marries Leongand, she will be the mainstay of Setsuna. It was also natural to be cautious about words and deeds.

"Thank you for your hard work, escort from Krebourg to King's Capital. I was sorry I didn't get a chance to speak up then."

"Oh, thank you. I don't know what to say..."

"Though I'd appreciate it if you'd talk to me normally. I'm just a nage, and you're just a setuna. That's the way it is."

"But"

This is the Balsar Fortress. It used to be Gandia's defensive imperative, but while it is losing its functionality while controlling Logner, it must be an important base. One eye, one ear. I can't say or do anything far-fetched. Even now that you are in the position of a royal palace summoner, you should not get on with it. Scaffolding easily collapses. It's no longer easy to be where you are.

"... Outreach, you're boring. I thought you had a more ruinous personality."

"Er..."

I wasn't even angry that Nage was discouraged on his own. I guess the difference between the imaginary setuna and the black spear's reputation is too intense.

Setuna knew the reality that a human being named herself was more publicized and overrated than she needed to be. The name of Gandia's black spear must have been a major publicity material, and it must have been true that it could have given you the fruit of the hustle and bustle, but there would be a limit to doing so. Most importantly, I was not exposed to disagreement with national policies, and I was hoping that they could be used as much as possible.

As a result, even if there are assumptions and mistakes like hers, there is no choice.

Nage looks at me like I'm worth it. When I looked closely, she was a breathtaking and beautiful woman. Big eyes, shining like black diamonds.

"One thing I need you to tell me. That's about it, right?

"Yes, of course."

Depending on the content of the question, the other party will also be woven.

"To you, what is His Majesty Leongand like?

The question was a direct ball, but not an unanswerable problem. Rather, it can be said to be an easy one to answer. Nevertheless, the answer must be cautious. They have a position, they have a position here. As a result of answering my thoughts as they were, I can't even see if I'm going to buy Leongand's unhappiness.

"His Majesty was the only Lord to me, the one who served with all his body and spirit."

Trying to answer with an unscrupulous salute, Nage looked openly grumpy. Half-eyed, I'll tell you.

"Uh, that's not what I want to hear anymore."

"Is...?

"Could Your Majesty be my husband? You know, personality, thinking, that's what I want you to know."

"Ha ha... but how could you do that to me?

"Your Majesty trusts you, and I thought you knew a lot of things."

Setsuna was just a little upset by the way the princess looked at this one. Isn't this a fault? Buying her upset also feels bad in the future. No, it wasn't decided that Nage would marry Leongando, but he's pretty sure that Gandhia will make an alliance with Lemanifla. If so, it was not unlikely that they would marry either.

It is a political marriage. As the princess of Gandia married Lucion, her ally, she said it was a common story to try to deepen the alliance ties by marriage.

"Are you really Lord Setuna Zenon-Kamiya?

"That's for sure......"

"Why are you so unsure?"

Nage laughed uncontrollably. It was such a shattered attitude that I felt ridiculously nervous just because I was the princess of Lemanifla, but it is unacceptable to be distracted. She is a noble woman and Setuna is nothing but an ordinary person. No, I'm not even an ordinary person. Different worlds. Faria's words pass behind her brain.

"Well, fine. Talk to him and you'll see."

If you had done that from the beginning, you wouldn't have had the time to be full of this tension - and I wouldn't have put it in my mouth if I thought so. I don't want my heart certificate to be any worse.

"But you don't get much time to talk either. You try to make contact here, but they're gonna shake you."

I didn't even see the words to be uttered to the princess, who dropped her shoulders softly. I guess she has an extraordinary interest in Leongand. It's who you might marry. Maybe that's natural, too. So what about Leongand? Am I not interested in her? No, I can't say enough about that. Leongand is extremely busy right now. I guess I don't even have time to slow down and say the words.

I don't think so, but Setuna didn't have the courage to put it into words and tell it.

From afar, I heard a voice looking for him.

"Sethner! Where have you been?

"Tycho! Tycho, no!

Whatever Falia was, Setuna grinned bitterly at Ruufa's unscrupulous calling. Not a month has passed since the Lion's Tail squad was launched. There's no big mission, let alone I've never been out to war. You wouldn't be used to calling me captain, and I wasn't used to being called.

"Looking for you, Captain."

"I said, okay?

"Yeah, sure. If we have the right to hold you, we can talk all night."

"Ha..."

Setuna had to laugh and delude herself in a mouthful that neither meant it nor lied to her.

"Will you talk to me again?

"Master Nage, if you please."

"Thanks."

"No."

Bow profoundly against Nage. There must be no disrespect. When I thought so, it was something that even bothered me about the angle of bowing, but I didn't know if that was the optimal solution, and Setuna was confused. Only the neglect of liturgical practices is of itself. Even at the royal palace summoner's recital ceremony, he was all nervous and white in his head. I don't even remember what happened. All I could remember was the divine figure of Leongando, wrapped in a liturgical outfit, and the words.

Keep waiting for Nage's footsteps to leave. My whole body complains of muscle aches, but I couldn't stand for that. Now, being rude is the prerequisite, not knowing about your body, etc.

Wait a while, then raise your face and make sure Nage is out of sight. Then I finally stroked my chest down. Release yourself from tension and enter the scene.

Setsuna says she can't be on her own when she's in front of the royal aristocracy. Maybe that's what a small citizen is, maybe it's the limit of ordinary people. Even with the title of Summoner of the Royal Palace, I wonder if the person wearing it will not have the title.

Positions make people, but I wonder how long it will take before you can be the right person for the position. Setsuna wanted to cry over her pity. But I can't even just regret it.

I stood up and looked for the Lord of voices that I could still hear. Faria's figure was found under the walls, but Ruufa didn't see where she was looking at all.

Fortress nights go on.
