Fake Saint Of The Year

Belnell and the others, who decided to listen to the principal, quickly boarded into the principal's office.

Normally, students are prohibited from suddenly entering the principal's office without saying anything, and it is not good to see it in terms of proof from the principal.

Even a student with good grades is likely not to be knighted if they are not courteous and say, "This is not for the Virgin."

At the very least, if there was a student who suddenly entered the principal's office, even though he was not invited without an appointment, his journey to the knight would have been denied.

This is by no means an exaggeration or too harsh a disposition.

A person who breaks into the room of the person in front of him without permission... If he is imitated as placing such a thing next to the Virgin and sneaking into the Virgin's bedroom without permission, it is no longer a knight but just a villain.

Therefore, there are no people who usually enter here without permission, and Bernell and the others are aware of that.

But only this time, Bernell and the others broke into it without any concern.

"Father, I need to ask you something!

As she opened the door, Eina shouted loudly.

The Principal Fox's reaction to that was unexpectedly calm.

He sat silently in the chair and looked up at Bernell and the others as if he had anticipated this development from the beginning.

"Hmm, that's good.But first, close the door. "

"What? Ah, yes..."

Even though she entered with momentum, Aina's momentum withered from her father's attitude, which was too normal.

Close the door as told, Fox exhales small and opens his mouth.

"Apparently... the closest knights to the students in this school are seven of you."

That said, Fox smiled small.

It is not an anger against an innocent student who suddenly breaks in, but rather an admissible reaction.

Bernel and the others have hardened without knowing what to do with the unexpected reaction.

"Sometimes I'm surprised.

It is important to be courteous if you are to be a knight.

Normally, people who come in without saying no would not be worthy of knights.

... it's out of the question to do the same to the Virgin.

But before the Virgin's anomaly, it's even more outrageous not to do anything.

I don't even know what the knights are for. "

While talking, Fox puts his elbows on the table and puts his hands together in front of his face.

And I saw seven men with sharp eyes who were once the first knights.

"So... I can predict it, but let's hear it.

I wonder what you came to ask me. "

"Why did Ellise not come back... what is the situation now?

We came here to find out. "

Bernel answered Fox's question without putting his hair in.

Fox narrowed his eyes to see dazzling things.

I can't hold it anymore, it's blue.

Still immature... it was one of the qualities of a knight to think only of the Virgin without worrying about anything else.

That's why Fox wanted to try it.

What kind of answer does this young generation give?

"Ellise is safe.He is now in the Castle of the Virgin.

However... I'm forbidden to go out. "

"I mean...."

"Well, house arrest... no, don't say confinement.But this was decided by the kings of the nations.

They chose to leave the Virgin Ellise behind rather than smash her into a witch. "

This is what Bernel and the others were expecting.

And we can never judge the Kings' choices as' evil '.

Because everyone here has the feeling that it would be better at least.

Ever since Diaz, the former headmaster, told me about the end of the Virgin... if the Virgin is going to become a witch, I thought it would be better to leave Ellise without fighting and leave the witch crusade to the next generation... I've been thinking about the future of the problem.

"I couldn't challenge this decision.

The same goes for the other Knights of the Guard.

Fearing losing Ellise, I chose to betray her..... "

The tired smile on Fox's face makes him laugh.

Ellise has the inconvenience of living only in the castle.

But the kings will never make a mess of her.

He promised to do his best to be as convenient, supportive, supportive and comfortable as possible.

I wonder if that would be happier for Ellise... and that's what he decided.

"I didn't know which was right.

This is like trapping someone in a cage while ignoring their will.

But... the birds in the cage are protected.Valued.

Is the bird in the cage unfortunate but promised peace?

Is it true that wild birds who are free, but never wonder when they die, are happy?

I don't know. "

Speaking so far, Fox shook his head.

Then he looked at Bernel, John, Fiora, Supplements, and Eterna and looked slightly envious.

"No... that's an excuse too.

In fact, nobody was facing, not nobody.

As you may not know from a civilian origin… I am a nobleman who carries a servant with me in the land and with the people, and with my family, before I am a knight.

The same goes for the others.Except for you, basically a knight is a noble son. "

This is something we won't be able to confirm until now.

Bernel and Eterna are here through the narrow gates of the school thanks to their excellent qualities, but basically the school itself is built on the assumption that the noble son will enter.

The difference between a nobleman trained in a good environment from a young age and a civilian struggling to survive tomorrow... is obvious.

Therefore, all current knights were aristocrats or their relatives.

And that's why they don't face the king.

"Nominally, the power of the Virgin is higher than that of kings.

But... I think I already know, but in fact... "

"The kings are the only ones actually sitting at the top of power, and the Virgin is just an idol...?

"Yes, John.That's a good guess. "

The Virgin is ostensibly regarded as the pinnacle of power, but the fact that it is different is something that everyone had in mind.

Otherwise, the previous Virgin would not have been chased.Ellise is not trapped.

The Virgin is a symbol, so to speak, and idols... reign alone and rule is not required.

Therefore, the ability to speak when things go wrong is far inferior to that of a king.

That's true. The Virgin does not rule the land, nor does she have a people.

Kings and nobles are actually driving the country.

To ostensibly elevate the Virgin above ourselves is to avoid criticism.

In that sense, rather, it can be said that the contemporary Virgin Ellise has too much say and influence.

At least, it was essentially just a puppet and a disposable weapon against witches.

"I am... said to be the ex-head knight, but after all, I am only a countess ruling over a small territory.

If the king cares, the house will be crushed at any time.

That way, the people and servants... and my family are lost in the streets...

I... I've put my own interests ahead of Ellise's... "

Fox gripped his combined hands hard enough for his nails to swallow.

I regret this choice.I also feel guilty.

If the King's judgment had been merely vicious and painful to the people and Ellise, or if he had given preference to a sense of justice to advise, the house might indeed have been destroyed.

But the King predicted it too, and gave the Fox the exonerators.

This is for the Virgin.The Virgin dies like this, so protect her from it.

If they say so, Fox and the others will have to stop their feet.

We know that it is a convenient amulet for the King, and it is a sound building only to diminish the guilt of betraying the Virgin.

But on the other hand, it is also a sincere desire.

I don't want Ellise to die.She will die in such a way that she can finally stab the witch who has worked so hard for the world... not to mention destroying the world that should have been witched and protected by her own hands.

I feel guilty. But on the other hand, some people think it's good.

And above all, I feel disgusted with myself.

His mind was so complicated that he could not speak for himself.

"... which way is Leila?

Bernel asks with a voice of certainty.

Actually, I already know the answer.

I already know the answer when I see Leila's agitation that she found out the truth when she fought Diaz.

And Fox answered in affirmation.

"... I told you.

The other Knights of the Guard are the same (...)...

Leila's role is as a hostage.Even if he stays under house arrest, Ellise will be able to escape as much as he wants...

That's why we need tokens to stop the movement..... "
