- Rubias Perspective

In the middle of the night, the city of Suphore became noisy with Russia. A group of soldiers jumped out of the castle scattered across all sides of the city, and went to capture the Stieds nobles and those who had sided with them, doing whatever they wanted everywhere. Naturally, they do not have the strength to defeat the Black Knight one-on-one, so if they encounter it, they immediately withdraw or wait for backup before fighting in numbers. But it will probably end with concern, too. Because the majority of Black Knights are packed in this castle.

"Out of the way!

With many soldiers on my side, I wave my sword at their head. A number of black knights came towards me who detected the anomaly as soon as possible, but many of them were slashed away without even being able to match their swords with me. Seeing the sight, the soldiers who had been saddled by the Steads fled with us, but were one after the other surrounded by soldiers who were once companions.

"Your Highness! It's the room ahead!

In the direction one soldier pointed, there was a room where the door remained open. That room should have been Count Grom's private room. Yet to say that the door remained open - I was moved by an unpleasant hunch, accelerating at once and jumping into the room.

"- Count Grom!

"Master Grom!

There was the appearance of the Count, who sank in a sea of blood. Both the Great Black Knights would have tried to kill him for nothing but the cost of his journey. I rush over and wake him up. Survival seemed almost hopeless because of the amount of bleeding, but he hadn't run out yet.

"Ugh..."

"You have a breath? Then!"

The soldiers who came to me have a bluer face than Lord Grom, who had fallen. There was no time for them to do that, and I began to do everything I could against Count Grom for the magic of recovery, which I could use to the point of no chant. Then his complexion recovered, and his breath gradually became calmer. It's a dramatic effect on me. I take a sigh of relief at the result that I think is good to fix.

"Have you managed to save your life..."

Soon, wiping the sweat that was floating on his forehead, the soldiers around him lowered their heads simultaneously.

"Hey, what?

"Your Highness! Thank you! Please save Master Grom's life......!

"Nothing to be thanked for. Until I did what I deserved. Besides, did you control the inside of the castle? As soon as possible if you haven't already. And don't forget your support for the city! I'll let you know if the Black Knight is still there. I'm going out in person!

"I understand!

Count Grom, the main purpose, and his family were able to rescue him safely. All we have to do is eliminate the Steeds from the city without leaving them. I left the unconscious Earl of Grom with a soldier, and I took the sword again.

By the dawn of the night and by the time the morning sun had fallen on the city, I could see clearly what was going on in the city different from last night. There are a number of buildings that have collapsed all over the city, some of them even where the smoke is rising. Probably a sign of resistance by Steed soldiers and nobles. Not all the soldiers were sacrificed, but there were no casualties for the citizens, apparently. You'll be fortunate to be unhappy.

"But... you're tired of boulders"

Both me and the soldiers are exhausted because they've been running around on insomnia break since last night. The battle while serving as an opponent was more tiring than I thought, rather than crossing swords with a clear enemy. But because of that, we were able to wipe out the Steeds, so we should be happy with this result. One soldier approached me for a small run as I thought about that while moisturizing my throat with my maid's brewed tea.

"What's up?

"Your Highness, it seems Lord Lapis has returned to the city. May I show you around?

"-! Let me through right now!

"Ha!

A thankful soldier runs out like he's been played. There are no strangers to the master in this city. Because her strength is where everyone knows, rather than my master.

When I heard that a master had appeared who had disappeared since yesterday, I woke up at once with a sense of wandering. As soon as I leave the room to welcome her, I see a beautiful girl I'm used to seeing. The master smiled and raised his hand and approached him for a small run. My face unwittingly bursts when I see it. How comforting that she's just on her side, even though it's only been a day.

"Rubias, I heard what you said. Sounds like you had a rough time."

"Yeah, really. By the way, Master, how are things with the sepias?

"Yeah. I'll tell you more about that. I heard the whole story until I got here, but I'd also like to hear more from Rubias. Let me hear your story."

"Absolutely."

§ § §

"Right... Count Grom. But I'm glad you saved me."

"Yes. I had a hair in between though. Lord Grom and the Sepias are safe and at ease for a moment."

Using Lord Grom's private room and reporting on what had happened to each other since yesterday, I was bowing my chest down. In this confusion, no one can sacrifice what they call a good person, and they can hide it in the city of Solciere. Looks like the Alliance staff you're looking after are safe, and you can say it's the best result.

"But master. Here's the problem."

"Yeah. Right. Under this circumstance, the Stides will not remain silent when Rubias, the third princess, seizes the city by force"

There is no rush color for a master who says so. Jumping right off the bed she was sitting on, she looks out the window. From the point of view of her, who has the strength not to be frightened by anything, she may not have it in her eyes from the edge, such as the Steeds.

"What's Rubias going to do?

He turned around, as if he were comfortable listening on the menu of meals, and that's what the master has asked. But that gaze intertwines with me, and there is silent force not to try to forgive lies and deception. I slowly open my mouth as I swallow my gourd and spit.

"There's no way I don't know what happened here. Brother Magna, there's no other way for me to stand than to make sure you're safe. If the country stays confused, we don't know when the Demons will attack us."

"... even if the result is to quit the brave?

I found out what my master was trying to say. Assuming I get up and put the country back on the right path, that doesn't solve everything. Because the safety of my father, the king, has not been confirmed, and if Brother Steed and Brother Magna are no longer present, who is first and second in the right to inherit the throne, someone must put the country together. It is impossible to say how big Bordeaux is, but it is impossible to run the country by bureaucrats alone. We will need a being who will be king, and a person who will bring them and their nobles together.

But then it would be impossible, for example, to move around as before as a brave man. That means that you will stay away from your masters.

…………

Determination is about to shake for a moment. Ever since I met my master and flew out of Wang Capital, there have been many fun and painful things. But all of them are fresh, and I'd say I was singing my life for the first time. When I think back to my fun days with my people, I even want to throw everything out and keep up with my masters like this. But - I can't do that. I am the Kingdom of Bordeaux, Rubias the Third Princess. If you throw out your responsibilities as royalty and prioritize your own desires, isn't there a big difference between you and the Stieds' nobles? Squeeze your mouth tightly and look into the master's eyes with all your will. As her apprentice, I can't show you my pity.

"I'm determined to be ready. Master. I fight to regain my country. Please help your master."

"Oh well. If that's what Rubias decided, I'll just fight without saying anything. Everyone else will move well, so let's work together."

He caressed his pompous head and accidentally lay down his face to delude the tears that seemed to overflow. You realize that, but the master caresses his head gently without saying anything. To that kindness and care, I was thankful to God from the bottom of my heart. Good luck meeting this guy.
