Hero’s Redo ~ A Hero That Once Saved the World Reborn as a Girl ~

Episode 138: The Melancholy of the Knights

- Tanax Perspective

My name is Tanax. He who binds the First Knights, the main force of the Kingdom of Bordeaux. Serving His Majesty the King since his youth, his age is just fifty this year. I was caught up in this coup d 'état by an arrowhead who thought it was time to give up his position behind me and retire, and it collapsed and became used by His Highness Steed.

Although His Majesty the King had a cold part as a human being, that was only when he had no choice but to make decisions as an exchanger. Those who try to avoid outrageous things and minimize sacrifices. He was waving a good political skill by calling himself famous, and the people of the Kingdom of Bordeaux had lived a rich life since His Majesty had now become king.

But that's a long time ago, too. This country has gone unscrupulous since His Highness Steed began to do politics for the reason that His Majesty says he is lying ill. The forces hostile to His Royal Highness are kept away from the nobility, soldiers and the king's capital without distinction of status, and the despotism of the nobles who side with him is beyond sight. The drastic decline in policing soldiers and knights has led to the appearance of bandits and demons all over the country, and it is the current situation that requires adventurers to defeat it.

To improve it, I also asked His Highness Steed to send our Knights everywhere several times, but he was only reprimanded for giving priority to protecting himself.

This guy can't - I wouldn't be the only one who thought so. But I'm only a knight. Whatever lord it is, it is to assist and protect it. That's the kind of life I've lived, so I didn't even feel like changing my way of life now and disobeying Your Highness.

"Start getting ready for battle!

Everyone on the spot was surprised by the words suddenly unleashed by His Highness, who had never had anything to do with the battlefield.

"Oh, wait, Your Highness! I'm in command of the army, Your Highness, in the capital of the king."

"Shut the fuck up! The traitors are coming up because you're impudent! Good, so get ready as you're told!

His Highness, who hates the archery of the sword and hates even moving his body, has never come close to the army before. That's the sudden shift in policy. It would also be a good place to be unscrupulous, such as where His Royal Highness, the Daily Prodigal Sanya, takes command of the army. Anyway, if you're going to accompany me as a decorator, I don't even think I'm going to shut up because of this guy's character. It's only a nightmare, such as fighting according to the instructions of an amateur. I don't know what to say, but if it was enough to let this guy direct it, it seemed some better to let the knight apprentice there do it.

I tried my hand to see if there was anything I could do to stop it, but there was no island to attach it to. I had my head on what the hell happened to me because of this, and a close civilian told me why.

"... insulted?

"Yeah. And it's cool. I was unilaterally exposed to cursing rumors that I couldn't hear. I happened to be there too, but I didn't feel comfortable living with everyone on the spot."

It seems that the one who cursed His Highness with a far-sighted demonic prop was Lapis, who acts with His Highness Rubias. She is the daughter who, once seen in the game before you, left a strong impression on the heads of state of this country with such beautiful looks and overwhelming combat abilities that she is not even in the nobility.

As a result of her defilement of Her Highness, she enraged Her Highness, who did not know that she would endure it from time to time. From the edge, I know it's a cheap provocation, and a calm commander would have either ignored it or kept it to the point of cursing back the opponent in the same way. But not only His Highness. A limited number of people, such as those who were born royal and raised as candidates for the next king, can stop him. That meant that he had not done the experience that everyone had gained of enduring.

It would be useless to tell him not to ride the provocation against him like that. As Miss Lapis aimed, she was about to be easily dragged out to the battlefield.

(That's crazy... this is)

I had in mind the magic she was using. Flame magic that emits enough heat to melt the ground. That's all I showed you in that game before you, but I don't think you can use as much other magic as she can. There is still protection in the castle. But if you get a magical ambush or something in the open, you can't protect it. Fight from the front and this wizard will win by number, and it will be possible to seal up her magic somehow. But can't a few enemies bother fighting me from the front?

That night, while preparing for the once-ordered departure, I was taking my feet to His Highness Steed in an attempt to persuade him one last time. In front of his private room, besides SS, there are several other black knights refraining. Black knights are the ones who have recently heard that they have been working rampantly in various parts of the kingdom. If that's the case, it should be eliminated first, but there's no way His Highness is attacking those he treats as allies, and I retained it to be abominable.

"Your Highness."

"It's you again. I guess we're getting ready, huh?

If you look at my face, Your Highness distorts my face. A lot of your novels. Apparently they don't like me.

"You'll be able to go out tomorrow. But, Your Highness, one last favor."

"Are you going to tell me to stay in the castle again? Then dismiss it. I take that woman's neck myself. This is a matter of decision."

"But..."

"Shit! He insulted me, the next king! There's no way I can throw that away!

His Royal Highness is only a king candidate, and His Majesty did not decide to be the next king with clarity. I dare to ignore that part and I will continue to say the words, as it only brings further inquisitiveness to pointing that out.

"If you want me to crusade, I'll take care of it. Nothing requires His Highness to go out of his way to get to the dangerous front!

"What will the king do without standing on the battlefield himself! Don't you see the indication for the inferior!

It would have struck my mind before the word was provoked. But now, at this point, there was just white air.

"The power of Lapis is not insulting. Her Royal Highness must have seen her power with those eyes."

"That much power, crushing it in numbers, will do anything! Besides, we have the Black Knight and the man! There's no way to lose!

That man - the most powerful force His Highness can ask for. The man who unites the Black Knight, who emerged from nowhere, was a fierce man who overwhelmed the army individually. He's wearing the same black all-body armor as the Black Knight, but it's that side that's different from them. That man who covers his head with a black helmet with a slightly invisible expression and rarely opens his mouth. He had signs of goosebumps just because of a mistake, had no emotions whatsoever, and had slashed away lightly hostile knights and soldiers. I don't know who the hell he is... I care who he is, but now His Highness's persuasion is a priority.

"Stop using the uncharacteristically uncharacteristic like that. I do not know when I will harm Your Highness."

"What? So, you want me to put my incompetence on the shelf and transfer the blame to him?

The colour of contempt appeared in His Highness Steed's eyes. I don't understand wholeheartedly why I come to such a conclusion. His fist grips him to the point of losing his mind, and he manages to swallow his anger.

"It's not. As a protector of His Highness..."

"Yep, May fly! You're better than that."

A shock ran across the castle as His Highness tried to yell at me. The impact, as if it were a ground sound, lasts twice and three times in a row, and outside the window the firehand rises. The sudden things made noise inside and outside the castle all at once.

"Hey, what's up!?

"Protect Your Highness! Hurry up and check the situation! Let the Knights fight! There may be more lights in between!

"I understand!

My backed men rush. The Kingsguard consolidated the perimeter of his royal highness and took refuge behind the castle so as to draw it back. I embark on a balcony and explore what's going on around me.

"Hmm?"

For a moment, I felt something cross the edge of my sight. I rush after him with my eyes, but it travels all over the air at tremendous speeds.

"No way... are you a person?

The lost flying magic of the past. As far as I can tell, that lady Lapis is the only one who uses it. But I could see two shadows flying freely around the air. The shadow unleashes a magically made flame on the ground as it moves. Soldiers on the ground just go right and left to evacuate and extinguish fire, and fight back.

"No way, you've come all the way to King's Capital already? Too soon!"

It has not been two days since Miss Lapis provoked His Highness. It should take at least two weeks for a carriage to arrive from the city of Suphore to the capital of the king. That's not normal considering. It was the speed of travel.

"This is not how I...!

There are only a few things that can be done against enemies moving through the air. The choice is to unleash arrows and magic, or this one jumps up into the sky. But it would be difficult to supplement the figures bouncing around in the dark at night. We must use up all the anti-aircraft forces stationed here in the King's Capital.

I ran outside the castle to deal with this emergency.
