While I become conscious of my depression and feel heavier when I am a lady without knights.
My first escort assignment, I was proud that no unsuccessful person would ever take a delay with my opponent if it was my strength. The fact is, simple combat power would have been enough for Gillista, Ekdoyk, and Purshro.
But what about the results, I couldn't protect him from being escorted. It was only in a single victory against Gillista that Pershro was forced to struggle, and Wolfe, using his inward wisdom, decided to compete.
And again, I couldn't do anything when his life was in danger, and he ended things himself. I thought he was safe, but that didn't happen. He had set foot in Parshulo's ideas to break the situation.
It's not the same depth as it was when I was talking to Docola. It seemed as if people had even changed. If it had been like that when I met him, I can assure you that I would never have welcomed him into the country.
So much so that I saw his face talking to Purshro, who was there at the time of his death, that I thought it was too late. But he came back on his own. The cloudiness was returning to its original glow as I looked into my eyes.
Must have returned from a deep dark thought that marked the way I am. But that would have sunk deeper than I could have come back.
Around him are lunatics who can kill themselves relentlessly, captured by such opponents, who probably did what they could without choosing the means. But I couldn't fulfill my service as a knight to say I was his guardian, or even my personal determination to say I wouldn't let him step off the path he walked.
And the fact that I hadn't thought through his mouth was also recognised. His Majesty's anger was real then. Even I was so angry that I was far ahead by force. When he goes to Ghane, there is no guarantee that His Majesty will entrust me with escorts again. Although it can continue tentatively now, it will not last that long. I finished my meal while I was worried about that, and I still am. I think he was talking to someone but who...
- Do you wanna go home?
"Oh, oh..."
His motivation seems to have shredded as well as my depression. I get more and more sorry. I meet the face I see as I proceed to the exit of the castle.
"Oh, isn't it Lord Ratzel there?"
"... Sir Leanor"
A Leanor squad headed by the most knights, Sir Leanor, its Knights Commander. It's the head of someone who doesn't feel good about my position.
"And beside you is - what is it, you!
Suddenly Sir Leanor's expression changed. The hateful face towards me looks as if he met even his best friend where he went.
"Long time no see, Sir Leanor. I've never seen you in a castle before."
"Not at all. He says he should come and show his face whenever he wants, but he's a man who never shows his face."
"Hey, Your Majesty has priority over coming to the castle."
"If you say so, I don't have a word to give it back. He is an unafraid man who would have made it to sit in His Majesty's nostalgia on the arrowhead he was going to treasure at my place if he had nowhere to go. But I didn't seem wrong about my prospects."
Sir Leanor is laughing and talking to him. I cannot keep up with this unexpected development. The first time he and Sir Leanor met was in the barracks, when they held a meeting on the bandit crusade. Sir Leanor told him then that he had a gaze or tone that looked down on him...
"What is it, Sir Ratzel, that mindless face? I heard, while His Majesty entrusted me with his escort, I heard you were caught by the unsuccessful."
"... Huh!
Oh, there's no way the boulders don't know me. The Giristas went wild in all the places they could see. The story will be passed on to the other Knights.
I don't know if they can make such a story out of me.
"Crap. If it is true that he failed, didn't your lord rescue him safely? What are you going to do with the stigma? Are you going to be the perfect knight now?"
"... eh"
"I've heard stories of your lord sheltering and fighting the people and so on. Your lord doesn't regret that they should have died, does he?
"Oh, no!
"Then stretch your chest. They were able to recover their failures even as they pierced the chivalry of protecting the people. Ask for more in your position!
Is this... inspiring me, that Sir Leanor? But whatever you do, you don't sound insulted. Is it not rather the knight himself who is coaching the young?
"Damn, wouldn't it be hard to invite you to dinner with such a snug escort? Then let's take another opportunity to talk carefully. Bye."
Sir Leanor left the spot laughing at him at the end. He sees how it goes, exhales gently and turns back to me.
"Was that a surprise?
"Ah, oh. That you were close to Sir Leanor, and now the words..."
"It's not surprising. Lord Leanor is from the beginning."
"No, but even you would remember that time, wouldn't you?
There's no way he can't remember. Because he figured out what to do when he heard me being taken lightly by the other Knights.
"Bye. It's true that Lord Leanor didn't think well of Ilyas."
"Then why - no, I'm not in a position to ask when it comes to your closeness to Sir Leanor..."
"Ilias, it is a sure fact that Ilias is neglected by the other Knights of the Knights. But you think they're all neglecting you for the same reason?
"... what do you mean?
Reason for neglecting me, isn't that because I'm a woman? No, that's for sure. In fact, the word they say is' to the habit of a woman '. He keeps talking as he scratches his head.
"The reason Lord Leanor is neglecting you, it's that a woman is in a highly formatted Ragdo squad"
"... don't you mean because I'm a woman"
"Sir Leanor says we treat him the same way, even if it's not Illias. For Sir Leanor, the Ragdo squad was the ideal knighthood that has existed since the time he aspired to be a knight. Sir Leanor, who respected the Knights since ancient times, is, to put it badly, a man imprisoned by old ideas."
"... Really?"
It is undoubtedly Sir Leanor himself who knows that. Was he listening to that?
"What is in Sir Leanor's heart is not a notion of male inferiority, but a desire to treasure the right material, the right appearance. It's just smoky because Ilias the woman showed up there with her new girlfriend. It was on that occasion that Ilias was trying to bind them all, apart from the other Knights, and he was trying to take away their position," Woman, let's gather the Knights of Origin and command them, and so on! 'But I told you so.'
"But isn't that the same for the others?
"Sir Fowl is a personal affair. You beat him in front of Lord Fowl's men. Right?
Speaking of which, would that have happened? I used to be challenged to do it lightly or something. I always tried everything I could... but I must have taken one.
"I was shamed in front of my men by the arrow tip I was going to rub my rookie. It would be natural to bring resentment before men and women."
"No, but it's more than a formal battle..."
"I don't think Ilias can read that kind of air. But understand how it turns out. A man is a very restrained creature."
"Mm-hmm."
"There's so much more, the one who broke the sword of love in a duel with you. Who was told that the knight respected by his drowning sister was Sir Ratzel, not his brother. The one whose hatred has been entrenched by his misnomer. I have nothing to do with Lord Russell, but I have a connection with Sir Russell, and I resent him."
He goes on to give a hard time and reasons. You're telling me I was hated for so many different reasons? I'm shocked in many ways, isn't there anything more mixed up with me than that?
"Of Ilias. That's not like unified persecution like Wolfe. There are many reasons why I don't like them. The reason for the highest number of 'women' is that they are prebuilt, but they are not the only ones who stick there. That number had increased so much that all of them appeared the same way in Ilyas' eyes."
"But when will that be all..."
"On the day of the ceremony, there was this guy that Ilyas was tongue-in-cheek about when he came out. I've been checking his identity, and then I've done a lot of digging."
"Since that day...?
"Hey, I made you regret chasing me when it comes to the nobility you were tongue-in-cheek with, so make sure Ilias doesn't know."
Do that in the shadows... well let's believe I'm doing it in common sense with him.
"You had your hands on me while I told you to turn to anger and help me... you're the one with no choice"
"If Ilias leaves it to anger to get his hands on, he'll just be obstinate. But this one made a friend of mine look bad. Can I get my hands on it, please?
He makes a mean smile. He really has no choice. But it wasn't bad to know that you saw me as a friend, that you were moving for me...
"But... Was I hated for so many reasons..."
"Well since childhood, I've been working out without making friends, learning a lot about how to build relationships, and not having eyes around me. If you're strong enough to take the stock of the others, or even this, you'll catch your eye."
My ear hurts to ask. If you ask me, I didn't hate them from the beginning. But I have lived more dedicated to polishing myself than to relationships with others. Just trying to be a good knight...... no, if you don't look at people and do whatever you want, you'll naturally hate them. Was there a lack of commonality as a person before I went for a good knight? I am.
"I lost my parents in childhood, and I kept polishing myself with no room in my mind. You don't have to blame me now. Not anymore, though. We could have been friends, right? You just have to learn a lot without hurry."
"- Right, I've got a friend who says you. Perhaps I could look more at others."
"... uh, no, I meant Cyra"
"... I thought you said you and I were friends!
"Were you?
"I said it! Is it also inconvenient or embarrassing to be friends with me!?
"You're embarrassed to be told face to face. Think commonsense."
I was certainly failing. But that doesn't mean it's all over. Even if it's creepy, getting it back can lead to further failures. Even if it's hard to switch completely, we can't move forward.
"Totally...... anyway, let me thank you, but - mugg"
I get my mouth blocked with my hands. No, I can't talk when they do.
"I don't need any thanks. It's this way that I'm taking care of you. I'm not giving it back either. If you really want to thank me, just give it back to me when you're done. You won't be able to repay me every time I bake you something to look after."
"... you care about a lot of detail. It's nothing less than what you're told."
"Reduce it. It's a fine way to repay your debt."
"- You really are a man and a very restrained creature."
If he asks you to do so, will you? Let's just say I keep this gratitude when he's satisfied.... but will it be a thank you story at that time, or is this one better off even as it stands? So, are you okay?
--------------------------------------
It is good that Sir Leanor's appearance made Ilias feel some clearer. But I was in a hurry to be noticed that I was deepening my interaction with the other Knights. I don't doubt Ilias' personality, but it's still awkward to think he's getting along with someone who's harassing the person without favoring him.
In the case of Ilyas, we'll do everything together. I have trouble seeing friendship for Ilias the same as friendship for Sir Leanor. As a person who likes narrow and deep friendships in the first place, it's a lot of out-of-the-box struggle to say that they create broad friendships. Plus, when my face widens, I get into a lot of trouble. Like now.
"You're a candidate for the script that you see frequently with His Majesty, aren't you?
"Yeah, well, that's right"
In front of me is the daughter of a nobleman who holds a place in the land of Tays. The name is - let's just say if we're going to meet in the future, we'll remember. If they call me to the noble mansion and tell me what I can do for you...
"I want you to do something to make sure that I and Your Majesty are connected."
and well such a matter of personal greed. I'm not the in-laws I could have told you in person using my friendship with Marito to spread my interaction with the knights.
"Your Majesty is a very handsome man. I've never seen any woman individually at a dinner party before."
I hear that was simply no woman of interest.
"I have polished up to be worthy of His Majesty the eminent, the upbringing and the elegance. Yes, I should be Her Majesty's Queen!
I want you to put that confidence on even 10% of Ilyas being kept waiting outside the room. About half way to Lachra, and I think that way we can be just right and ladylike each other.
"Your majesty likes me, and if you can talk to me every day, you can count on me and your majesty being alone."
"I know I can do that,"
"Then I beg you, please hurry as much as you can."
I didn't even ask if it was convenient for me.
"I didn't say I'd take it."
"No, I can't say no to you. You have a friend of the common man who's learning how to tailor clothes, don't you?
"Yeah, well."
"Did you know that the man recently trained in a tailor whose breath hung in my house?
"That's your first ear."
"Do you want to crush your friend's future?
Confident lady. That this is another straightforward blackmail. It is not surprising that a shop that makes luxury clothing that requires skill has a deep relationship with nobility.
Assuming Cyra gets kicked out of her current place, she can offer a new training ground if she relies on Mr. Van. But Cyra said the current place was a good one. It would be annoying to be scratched around for the convenience above. Besides, I don't want to make Cyra feel hard.
It's only beautiful to be proud of what you look like, but it's sad to be the end of those who stubborn voter thought. I can't start with Marito and this one being mismatched. I guess you don't even think finely of the common people and kings being friendships. Just pointing out this area seems to work... but it's troublesome to irritate poorly.
"You have no choice. Let's arrange for dinner for the two of us."
Let me use those hands for that kind of arrangement. I'm sorry about Marito, but let me take advantage of the arrangement.
I was summoned early that night. The aristocratic lady doesn't look very good. That would be right. There's no way Marito, who was suddenly set up for dinner, can get along with a woman she doesn't even like. There's no way you can be strong with a king opponent, and it's natural to fail such as a pageant date with no ruse whatsoever.
"That didn't seem like a good result."
"No, it's only natural that His Majesty doesn't! You'll still have to move!
- I'm afraid I can't do that.
"What?
"Didn't your daughter think how this one, a commoner, could recommend others to His Majesty's dinner table?
"That's - that's what it is!?
The sense of crisis that makes you feel the disturbing air seems to go hand in hand. If you're an insensitive person who doesn't feel anything, you'll have a hard time getting it through.
"Your Majesty and I have made a few decisions between us." Be sure to meet the woman you introduce, "this is the first. That's all His Majesty trusts."
"Then even the second and third time!
"This is what I find out. Then someone like you would come out, wouldn't you? So the second: 'Whoever intends to avail himself of this arrangement, that person shall be harmless to Marito-Tayz'. I mean, you don't have a next."
"Yes, that's what I'm going to do!
Remove a piece of parchment from the pocket. A text describing the details of the earlier arrangement is written there. And at the sign is the name of Marito and the seal that only royalty cannot possibly know can use.
"It's annoying to His Majesty if this one persists in giving the same woman credit. That's why we have this arrangement."
"Oh no..."
"Your Majesty and I were about to find each other a good match. But third party interference was in the way to do it without delay."
In the arrangements with Marito, it is a prerequisite to meet the referring woman first. I can't see you because I'm busy. But I'll introduce you. It's not fair. If only others knew how to do this, more and more people would try to make contact, especially with Marito.
That's why there are people out there threatening weak civilians like they are now. Special measures for this purpose. To put it bluntly, 'I won't tolerate anyone using friendship'.
"Let me skip explaining around here because your daughter has threatened me first. But don't worry, it is well applied. Oh, nothing. I'm not going to do this right now. This isn't about allowance or gradually making a woman a sinner, it's about preventing a second time, right?
……
A confident woman who can definitely drop Marito, such as a woman who comes in contact using this arrangement if she knows about this, or maybe an assassin. The latter is fine because you are too good beside Marito. [M] You won't have the courage to eat down once your eyes end up underdeveloped with the former.
That Marito will just eliminate me as an eyesight if I still eat down.
By the way, it says the opposite position, a sentence to the effect that if Marito persists in introducing the same woman, she will cut the edge. Others can only be introduced up to one person per week, additionally if they are interested in each other, etc.
And then it includes what I said: 'Let's not imitate each other as clever as poking holes in arrangements'. This convinced each other instantly.
I will never see this aristocratic lady again. That's why I haven't had a chance to remember the name.
The next day, we'll talk later in Marito's office.
"Hey, it's been a long time since my narcissistic daughter got that far. Speaking of which, I was wondering if you'd seen it at a dinner party a few times before."
"I thought you remembered because your face is good. I'm sorry to bother you."
"I can't believe it's 'hassle but I want you to meet me'. I laughed. I don't suppose you have any extra imitation? I can't forgive you for threatening a friend."
"Missed him for about the first time in the world's unknown tea eye. You've learned a lot. Oh, yeah, I brought this today."
That's how I put it forward without a gift wrapped in cloth. Bribes - not example bumps, how about this.
"I was wondering, what's that?
"I apologize for the inconvenience. If you don't like it, I'll bring it back. I personally like it."
"Which..."
Marito unwraps the package, and makes an exclamation. That's a potted plant that Luco asked me to make. It's more for warm decor than glamour in a pakira-like potted plant of ornamental plants.
"This is again... a rare thing."
"Really? I asked someone I know to have it ready in a day or two."
"That's what I'm saying, but this isn't really on the market, is it? Yeah, but I guess it's from there because there's a chance we'll find it in the Black Wolf Forest. But I was wondering if I could raise him."
"Oh, considering that possibility, he's got instructions on how to raise me."
Well, I thought I needed to do that when I heard that Luco had prepared instructions, but if it was a rare item, I could snort what I needed. But I saw the instructions but they are very detailed and surprising. You're still young, but you want presbyopia. Are you willing to let me raise this?
"I'm very familiar with it... but I feel like I've read it, and if you're just careful with the storage area and the environment, you're going to be able to grow it in one hassle. I'll put it in the bedroom."
"Wouldn't that be nice in the office?
"No, these things are things that you keep where you want to calm down. But it's a really good gift, I'm really glad!
Tension that just says humans can't believe it if this is an act. Marito seems to like it very much. Luco's taste seems very good...... Hmm.
"Marito, I used my turn to introduce you in this case, is there a woman I can introduce you from that way at the moment?
"Unfortunately, I can't grasp your taste. I'm thinking of introducing even my ruinous sister, because she's not in the land anyway. Can you wait till we get him?
"A woman who gets tired with you is troublesome. Shall I join you at the next dinner party?"
"Is that true? You're struggling with a lot of female ratios, aren't you? If you'll come, I'll help you."
I brought it up in the first place with resistance to attending a dinner party like that. This one will be delighted to participate. Even though there are arrangements between the two of them, Marito is forced to marry to some extent. I just want to reduce that stress.
But still, I'm sure it won't change the way you're surrounded.
"I guess so. Wolfe, why don't you lend it to me?
It would be easier for Marito to stay with this prepared woman. A candidate named Wolfe is not a bad choice either. Love feelings with each other are somewhat unfamiliar, even in the distance. Plus, there's an excuse to interact with the Black Wolves. But let's say it again.
"It's still early for Wolfe. But if Marito isn't tired, we can bring him in."
"Really? I won't complain if you're as grown up as the cat I borrowed."
"Right, I'm sure you'll grow up"
"Don't you have some kind of plotting face?
"What, the other guy's surprised face in my eyes?"
I'd like to think that these prank-loving aspects are because they put Marito in front of them, yeah.
