The lineage of the Duke (Denning) promised future success.

At least as far as Shuya Nükern knows.

The most powerful aristocracy in the Knight Nation is the Duke.

If it was also the Duke's lord, he thought that he would never get involved with Shuya from the bottom aristocracy.

But now, the duke's lord is sitting in front of Shoe and Ya.

"The next new product will be launched in Duke territory and will be spread throughout the Knight Nation."

"... I heard your house has something to do with the honeymoon with that pendragon?All the blue potions in circulation to the Knight Nation will pass through the Pendragon. "

Now Shuya stands in the hall where the Duke's immediate family lives, and in the concourse (salon).

Two men are talking in the reception room.

One is the Duke's principal and one of them, Barderoy Denning.And the other was a merchant who wanted the Duke's help selling the goods.

"Duke, when the elephant visited, he dared to make time for me.In other words, you are also interested in new products.Our house is full of freaks who devote their lives to making blue potions, but there are many people here who want to be part of the Duke's umbrella.Of course, your relationship with the Pendragon is important.But that's not the case with the new blue potion. "

The next duty as Royal Knight bestowed on Shuya is the Duke's supervision.

It is Shuya's job to report to Her Majesty the Queen of King's Landing whether she is in contact with suspicious people, has a disturbing conversation, or is perfectly attached to the Duke.

But I think it's too much for His Majesty's sake.

This is how I monitor the Duke every day, but I don't see any noticeable signs.At least the duke in Shuya's eyes is white.The Duke doesn't talk about the Dostol Empire at all.

We take your thoughts and strive to develop our territory.

"Of course, I'm interested, including the great spirits of the wind that appeared behind the Duke's house.Duke, we offer tremendous benefits.It's not a bad story, is it? "

But...

Suya wonders if the scale of the story is too big.

This sort of story may be brought to Baron Nükern, Shuya's father, but it's the Duke's house.I am now facing the Duke because he is a noble class that has a wide reach in the Magic Power (Minerva), and he is the landlord of the blue potion, which Shuya also loves.

A month has passed since His Majesty was taken by the royal knight.

It's time to take turns with Senior Knight Sepis.Duke officials who walk down the hallway look at the noise.

……

From knights to butlers to maids, black emotions hit Shoya.

"Just the royal knight?Their authority has fallen. "

- No, I knew they hated me.

I know Shoe and I don't get along well with the Royal Knight and the Duke.Besides, Shuya's position today is the Duke's surveillance, and they don't seem happy about it.

"... eh"

But that's different.

From the front, it comes in a flash.Shuya snorted her throat.No matter how many days have passed, I don't think I'll get used to it.

It's a black cat. I have to look at Shuya and walk around.

It is the Great Spirit of the Wind (Altoange).

The great spirits who now stand behind the Duke (Denning).

Besides, the favorite is Slow Denning.

Shuya knew nothing of the connection between him and the great spirit of the wind.

Not only Shuya, but everyone in the Knight Nation wants to know the connection that exists between him and the Great Spirit, but he is now missing with his devoted servant.

Even the Duke, his father, says he doesn't know where he is.

"... hah, how long will it last?"

Sigh.

I know the Duke's surveillance is important, but as a knight it is extremely boring.

I became a Royal Knight, but there's a sequence between the knights.

All the work that comes around is plain work.Today, I keep a detailed record of who the Duke came into contact with and report it to King's Landing.Of course, I know it's an important job...

"I also want to talk about royal excursions someday."

Everyone will say that the most honorable task as a royal knight is the escort accompanying royal excursions.It was a royal knight's mission to support the Dalit royal family of light, like the Guardian Knight, Sir Dolphie, who always accompanied His Majesty when he was away.

The recent removal of Senior Knight Sepis as the escort for Princess Carina's circuit trip was also an inspiration to Suya's yearning.

The escort for the outing is exactly the shape of a royal knight's flower.

However, I don't think Shuya has any connection to a problem child like herself.Inside me, the Great Spirit of Fire, who wants to fight, is still nesting.

"... Shuya?"

Another royal knight present in Duke territory.

Recently, he has been promoted to an important mission, and Sepis, who was in a very good mood, has turned his back on the hallway wall.Shuya finally found the person she was looking for and rounded up her voice.

"Mr. Sepis, it's time for a shift.I mean, it's troublesome! I can't believe you didn't show up when you took turns.Isn't it Mr Sepis who told me that our job is to be next to the Duke at 4 or 6 o'clock?! "

"... that's right."

But Sepis is acting strange.Normally, the royal knight who had no expectation of calming down or changing his expression was wrinkled between his eyebrows.

"Mr. Sepis, what's going on?"

"... Shuya - His Highness Carina's circuit trip has been cancelled."

Sepis talks like he talks to someone he can't see.

For a moment, I couldn't understand what they were saying, but Shuya lost her voice when she rebuked the meaning of the words in her head.



Barderoy Denning remembers the young royal knight who left the room for a change while leaving the merchant face-to-face.

His name is Shuya Nükern.

An unfortunate boy who was taken by a royal knight while wearing a student.

I know very well that Slow was taking care of him.Moreover, it is sufficient that Her Majesty prefers such a troubled young man.

"--The Duke, Sir Pendragon has moved!The rush was definitely more intense news than King Dalith! "

It was the girl who opened the door and entered that cut the room in silence.

"Ah... I'm sorry... but I'm in a big deal..."

Apart from the Duke, she was unaware of another presence in the room.

"Never mind, Mint. He has a hard mouth.So, Sepis Pendragon... did you see anything depressing? "

"... yes, the Duke is right, Sir Pendragon hasn't been well since the morning..."

Reported by Mint, Barderoy Denning nodded loudly.

"Enough reporting. Stand back, will you?"

"... okay."

And somehow dissatisfied, the Duke's devotee leaves the room.

Confirming that her signs were gone, the opponent sitting in front of the Duke laughed quietly.Most humans are surprised to find out that the Duke's devoted servant is the girl, but his laughter doesn't seem to be anywhere.

Instead of thinking about something, the duke opens his mouth.

"The announcement from King's Landing announces the cancellation of His Highness Carina's circuit excursion.And royal guards during outings are knight flowers.Sepis Pendragon, who was going to the Circus with His Highness Carina, is an unconvincing murder. "

At the same time, Sepis Pendragon brought Shuya Nükern into the empty room to share more information than the king's capital.

That Carina Little Dalith.

Her Highness's social debut as the future Dalit Queen was broken just before her excursion to Circusta.

"Fufu... I'm sure you're right..."

The Duke's smile was accompanied by intricate emotions characteristic of those in deep positions.

"--Magna"

In the words of the Duke, the air in the room stretched out.

The royal knight Shuya Nükern did not notice.The man who had been in business with the Duke until now was the man the Knight Nation (Darius) was chasing with a huge bounty.
