Common Sense of a Duke’s Daughter

My name is Drussen Cataveria. Son of Druna Cataberia, head of the Knights. For that reason, I have long been charged with martial arts archery. In the future, they say you will protect the royal family.

I was so proud of the words that my training became a fever. Because I was in such an environment, to be honest, I even found it troublesome to get into school. He said it was better to stay at home and teach the active Knights than to go into school. But entering the school was more than a man of nobility.

Try to come in, help the original silence, and still don't tame the school inside. I didn't particularly care, but I still thought it would have been useless to get into school if this had happened.... One day I met a single female student. His name is Yuri Neuer. I was Baron Neuer's Lady. I came across a training center… it was hardly used, but when I applied, students could use it as they wanted, and I practiced there almost every day.

"Amazing."

Her first voice, it.

'... what?

'Oh, excuse me. I... I come behind this every day... and I wonder what you're doing every day...'

"... the back?

Sure enough, there was a flower bed on the back of this, and it was almost full of weeds because there was no crowd.

'Yeah. There's a big flowerbed around the corner, but I don't have it, so I'm growing my favorite flowers there. Oh, of course I appreciate the school.'

"You don't have to be so hasty, I'm not going to report you to school."

'Oh, no... there's that too - see, that wasn't much praise, was it? I can't believe the lady is soiling. So I was wondering if you wouldn't spread the word too much.'

'Oh... nothing, you're not bothering people, are you? I'm not gonna tell you anyway. "

'Good for you -. So, what do you do every day?

'... look, don't you see?

'I know you're training -... but I don't know what the hell.' Cause Master Dorsen always takes the chairman for martial arts classes. '

Martial arts is a choice class, mainly taken by kids like me who belong to the Knights. After that, it's simply to protect yourself, or someone who wants to be a Knights member in the future with a second and third son of a nobleman?

I'm not training for class.

'... Really?

"Oh, I'm training to give my sword to this country and to the royal family."

A girl who was Kyoton smiled as a flower broke in my words.

'It's nice. How comforting it would be for someone like you to work hard to protect me.'

The words and the smile lingered in me forever.... Then, sometimes when I was training, she started visiting me. Mostly, we just have a little conversation and leave. I didn't feel anything in particular at first, but at some point I was more than looking forward to her visiting me. She says many times that she's amazing and that it's great that you take it for granted. The words became more and more feverish in training. I didn't doubt that my sword was dedicated to the royal family, but there were times when I even wanted to give it to her.

I realized that was love when she was tied to her second prince, Lord Edward. At first I was discouraged, but when I realized that I no longer contradicted my desire to protect her and the beliefs I had cultivated, I felt a little calmed down. I'll keep her safe from now on. Yes, I swore to my heart.

So when Edward confronted the Duke of Iris that he was abusing Miss Yuri, of course I joined Miss Yuri. I succeeded in successfully excluding Miss Iris and was able to protect her...... yes, the arrowhead I thought.

"What have you done?"

Suddenly I thought my father had summoned me, and he told me that at the very beginning of the opening. If you don't know what the hell you're referring to, and you're tilting your neck, you'll catch a sigh of relief.

"It's about the Armenian Duke and Lady!

…… I have no idea why they yell at me like that. '

'Is that what you're really saying?

"Yes."

"Even the fact that you raised your hand to the Duke's warrant is hard to forgive, but can someone who aspires to be a knight raise his hand to a woman and keep it reopened so well? Weren't you proud of your knight's teaching?"

"But the Armenian Duke and Lady were abusing Baron Yuri."

'Did you see that abusive place?

'Yes, no... but the rumor that you've spilled...'

Did you take that back yourself? Or did you see the scene?

'Yes, no...'

"I can't tell you what I'm talking about! I raised my hand to the woman without any definite evidence. That's for the second prince's fiancée, too. You can't even put it on the knight's wind! You even put mud on the existence of a knight in this house. '

'But I...!

'I don't want to hear any excuses! Chill your head carefully at home for a while!

When I was told I had no island to hang on to, I was taken by a butler and placed under house arrest in my room. Then for a while, I took a break from school and cautioned myself at home. I'm not allowed to train, I just don't have anything else to do, I'm just blurry in my room.

I didn't know why I would be treated like this. I just wanted to protect her. But in my head, my father's words revolved around, “You even painted mud on the existence of a knight."

Such a fold, I was summoned to my mother.

"Long time no see, Dorsen."

They told me it had been a long time, and I thought I hadn't seen my mother for a long time now. Because I've been in school almost holidays lately and haven't been out of my room since I was told to be discreet.

'... it's been a while'

In front of me is a tea bowl and a brown object that I have never seen if it is a tea contract.

It's called chocolate. It's been fashionable in Wangdu lately... try it "

As recommended by my mother, I speak of it.... delicious. Sweet but slightly bitter, such a complex flavour.

"It's what we deal with at the Chamber of Commerce of the Duke of Armenia."

"... the Duke of Armenia..."

"Rumor has it that it is Iris, the Duke's Lady, who is setting up that Chamber of Commerce."

My mother was a little sad when I called the name of the Duke of Iris warrant.

'Hey, Drussen. Can you really tell me that you did the right thing?

"Is it the right thing...?

'Yeah, yeah. Honestly, politically and in relation to our house, your behavior was a big problem, but if you put it all away, can you still say that you did the right thing?

I don't know the true meaning of your mother's words. I did the right thing... I thought so. After being told to be discreet, I pondered the meaning of Father's words that he had painted the Knights with mud, and in the end, Father got angry at me for thinking about his position as a nobleman of the Cataberian family… Then you don't have to be ashamed of your actions. I was able to protect her, so it has nothing to do with the house or anything.

"I am, Dorsen. I'm sorry to say this, but I have sympathy for the Duke of Iris. '

Why is that, Mother?

"Looking at the results, Baron Yuri Neuer used her eyes on the man with whom she had a fiancée… didn't she do anything she couldn't help but take it? As the same woman, I don't think I can help what the Duke of Iris did. A woman approaching her beloved fiancée. Jealousy and grief, those emotions gushing, who can blame you for that being directed at Miss Yuri?

"It's..."

'Take away the one you loved. You were thrown out of the social world because you fought in front of so many people. "

Second, I remember her last words at school. “What more will you take from me? My fiancée, my status…"

I said it in tears, the words.

'I think this treat looks like she's ready. I'm prepared to not marry anyone and be able to pierce my solitude. She was banished from the social world after her engagement was broken. Indeed, a new engagement would be difficult. Hey, Dorsen. I raised my hand to such a woman, took part in driving my life crazy, and I wanted to stop by and disparage her. … can you really say that you are right as a knight?'

"It's..."

I couldn't argue. I never even thought about it. Something natural that she might have suffered, or whatever... she might have been grieving.

"Satisfied to protect the child you like? Has your sword been polished just for that matter? I wonder if you were satisfied with raising your hand to a helpless woman who might have suffered in front of you."

Every time I have words from my mother, my heart keeps deciding. Sure... and I thought. But I can't go back.

'My mother is not a knight, so I don't know her intentions or her vows. I don't know, but I understand that what you did to Miss Iris was just violence. "

When I was reprimanded by my father, all I could get was rebellion. But now, what's in my mind is confusion and regret.

"You must spare yourself your actions."

There was a face-to-face meeting with my mother. Shortly afterwards, I went back to school because it was too bad to rest much. He was in class, but spent the rest of his time training. I wanted to freshen up my head. Perhaps she wanted to escape the fact that her mother's words or those of Miss Iris' warrant annoyed herself around her head. He graduated from school, remaining a little alienated from Miss Yuri and Master Edward.

After graduation, I joined the Knights as a Knights apprentice as planned. Since then, I have had a full day while being rubbed by my seniors.

One day like that, I was invited to participate in a mock match with the military. Honestly, why would you do that? I didn't even think so, but I expressed my participation because it was an invitation to the corner.

And it was General Gazelle who showed up. While a member of the military, his martial arts tradition is also an admirer for the Knights. And beside it are two people who say his disciples. Both the military and the Knights bothered with the word disciple. Honestly, I can't take General Gazelle's personal training inside, even if I want to. Because that's how popular people get.

The game starts while the three of them watch me like that. Every game was a lot of excitement, with two wins and two losses… going up on the stage nervously saying it was my turn next. In front of you, there is one soldier affiliated with the military. At the height of tension, I was wondering if there was a signal for the start of the game, just the battle with two General Gazelle disciples. Together with those in the military.

... Interesting. Yes, I thought. What are the two people who are being handled by the admiring General Gazelle… and how far does one's power go?
