I’ll Live My Second Life!

"Is this an escort mission?

"Oh, His Majesty Roy and Master Feel are going out to Zephas' mansion for two. That's why we're here as escorts."

When Crowe asked me what the assignment was about, I thought Fee was not good.

If it's an escort mission, it's likely to be face-to-face with Feel. In that case, I will be able to escape the position of the concubine and play apprenticeship knight. If you keep making noise, you'll be spared the escape from the rear palace.

I know it wouldn't have been the same if we had met in advance, but it's the rest of the festival.

As a slight resistance, Fee said, looking up at Crowe as he acted as a twitch on his shoulder with tension.

"Um, do escorts come close after all? I was so nervous when I was in front of people..."

Fee's profile here comes from the poor. It should probably be convincing not to hesitate in front of a great man.

I would like to install escorts as far away from the King or Feel as possible, even if this is not the case, to disjoin if possible.

Crowe laughed when he saw it.

"There's something cute about you, too. Rest assured. Essentially, the main escort is the First Knights. We're on the side of backing it up from the shadows. There is basically no face to face with His Majesty the King or His Majesty the Queen."

Fee was relieved to hear that.

"Okay. Speaking of which, what's wrong with you?

Rarely have all members of the 18th Knights been convened today. Yet there was no Ior alone.

"Oh, Iol is on a bit of a different assignment and I can't participate. So today I'm taking command instead."

Crowe also explained that to me.

Crowe, the deputy captain, is supposed to take command when Ior is away. Fee was concerned about another assignment, but he nodded convinced.

"We're leaving in a week. Prepare yourselves."

"Yes!"

Each member of the 18th Knights snorted at Crowe's words as commander.

And a week later, Phee was in the woods.

Earlier in the morning, the carriage of His Majesty Roy and Feel was up in the castle. The mansion of Zephas, which is now deeply related to the king, is in a despicable place a short distance from the king's capital. Is it more or less a 5 hour journey?

Now I digest the itinerary for about two hours and the carriage is in the woods.

I think visiting Zephas' mansion for the two of us is also a date thing, but the carriage was just two, to my surprise. Besides, one is for the First Knights escort assignment, so there is essentially only one for the King and Queen. Normally, when it became a date between a king and a queen, it was the people and ladies accompanying you, and it was common for many carriages to be queued together.

Fee interpreted favourably, as her sister's position, that if her sister and her married partner were close enough to date each other, I think it would be a good sign.

I can see a little from among the trees, either the royalty looks at a qualitatively windy carriage, and I look into the surrounding woods and do the rotation of the arrangement, wondering if there are any Feels or Lynettes in there.

The carriage was surrounded by fully-equipped First Knights.

There are no young or apprentice knights. They're all veterans with a name. That's what they are.

They are escorting around the carriage, guarding their surroundings.

That serious look seemed to convey a tingling air this far. Escort the king and queen, two of the most important figures in this country. Though it's like a date, as a knight, I guess it's a serious nervous assignment.

Each member of the 18th Knight is placed so as to surround such a First Knight. Everyone spaces wide apart and moves in conjunction with carriage movements while hiding in the woods.

The role was hostile.

If you find anything suspicious, report it to Crowe, who will work with the First Knights to respond.

Especially Cain, Conrad and Parwick, who have excellent latency and mobility, were the people in charge of the main part of this mission. Conversely, garuges and oars are not suitable for these kinds of missions. The two of them don't move much, they're turning to the backup.

And Phee was also the one in charge of the main with excellent latency and mobility.

The four of us keep vigilant looking around the king's carriage, surrounded by the First Knights, in the absence of a suspicious presence or far away. Exactly drains strength, so one takes a break and continues his extensive exploration while the three of us rotate together.

Fey also moves gently over the trees, hiding in the branches of the forest, watching for any suspicious presence around her. It's the technology Cain taught me.

Thanks also to Cain for being able to participate properly in the mission.

As I was doing my own travel route with that in mind, I overlapped Cain's travel route.

Cain's expression moving between the trees without sound was serious in itself, rather something of an impatience. It also moves about twice as fast as Fee. It's not just technology, it's mindfulness. Fee put his master in front of him, and thought, that's right.

Cain like that found Fee on the route, he approached and said.

"Okay? Never come close to finding a suspicious existence! Report to us properly and be sure to evacuate! Because the response will always be with the First Knights and we will always do it!

This was the fifth time I had heard that word. Besides, every time I ask, there's always more.

Though I wonder if I can rely so much on myself, Fee wonders if that can't be helped by someone like Mr. Cain either, and replies cheerfully and whisperly.

"Yes, I get it!

"It must be!

After the last time I said I must, Cain finally went down the moving route.

Fee also returns to his route, encouraged by his master's reprimand and determined to "good luck" with his escort assignment.
