Master of the brave.

One room in the Imperial Palace of Lemursil.

So a meeting was taking place on the report of this expedition and on the response to the Kingdom of Petersia.

Participants in the meeting were bureaucrats to each minister in charge of internal affairs, under the presence of Prince Alfred of the Lemursil Empire, senior officers from the military ministry with more than a thousand horsemen, and nobles.

Open the edge of battle with the Kingdom of Petersia or not.

Free debate was currently allowed, and discussions were being fought there.

The kingdom of Petersia is only about two-thirds of the empire with its territory, but unlike the empire, it does not border the demonic kingdom.

For this reason, he was also a male enemy with less depletion of national power than an empire exhausted in the battle against the Demon King's Army.

In addition to that, one rumor was running amongst them.

"So, Your Excellency knows the rumor, too?

"Anything like wiping out a thousand enemies alone"

"The rumor I heard was that he slaughtered a hundred people with a sword wave, wiped out every village with attack magic, and was just as powerful as the gods were"

"But the power of the brave is a terribly powerful thing. With that power, isn't our empire cheap? On the contrary, can we also conquer the continent?

Rumors gradually louder around the main warriors and spread around them.

It also comes with the optimism that the brave Mavis can beat the Kingdom of Petersia by joining the Imperial Army.

(Ridiculous)

In my heart Lloyds cursed.

Now Lloyds had come to your meeting as Earl, Lord of the Petersian Territories adjacent to the Kingdom of Petersia.

- The Empire is prepared to wield the power of the brave.

Is there someone in the main warrior who really understands how much this means?

The power of the brave is mighty.

In this clash, rumors are circulating that it was exaggerated that it destroyed a thousand enemy troops by itself, but it is possible, even if it were really a thousand, to make the story more confusing.

In fact, on his return to the battlefield with the knights of his own territory who rushed to reinforcements, Lloyds was to see traces of the power of existence wielded far beyond that person's common sense.

Burning traces left on the ground.

Flame-based attack. It would be a claw mark of a magical saturated attack.

The blasting flames, which also rose to heaven, also saw Lloyds as he retreated.

But with all that fierceness, Leticia's body, which later rendezvous, was not stained as one coal, as opposed to burn marks.

And the knights lying dead and dead.

Some of them had a few breaths.

And only one girl did this situation.

I had heard of brave men on the front lines, but Lloyds had never seen brave men actually fight.

I thought the rumors I was going to tell you were somewhat mixed up with exaggeration...

But I actually saw it, and Lloyds had to remember the war.

When Wynn and Kelvin and Lloyds went to Doria's village for reconnaissance, Lloyds was alone with Leticia.

The transformation of Leticia at that time...

The look of a girl of her age when she was with Winn disappears and her eyes dwell in a cold light. Surrounded by nobility and sanctity is an intimate atmosphere.

It's the same as when Lloyds first met Leticia at the Imperial Palace.

Because Lloyds is an Earl himself, he has extensive experience attending several nightclubs.

Not only the Empire, but also the princess of the royal aristocracy of foreign countries.

Switching consciousness to the brave Leticia Van Mavis, she was an elegant princess of nobility, yet entangled in majesty and intense warfare that was difficult to commit.

Lloyds was to see up close and find out again the magnitude of the influence that a cadet named Win Bird was having on the brave.

The debate will continue while Lloyds thinks.

"We should push the brave Master Mavis forward and march to the Kingdom of Petersia"

"Wait! It's definitely called the coup ahead, this battle, the brave man gave my empire to fight. But I'm not sure if you can help me with the war with the Kingdom of Petersia."

"What are you going to do if you declare war and the brave men don't lend you their help"

"What, the proud knights of our empire can't beat Petersia without the help of a brave man?

"It's not. The proud and courageous knights of our country are confident that they can win whether it be the Royal Petersian Army"

"Then isn't it a problem? I want you to show me the results as they say."

And, Prince Alfred raised his hand.

The discussing lords held their mouths and turned their gaze to Alfred.

"From what I heard earlier, it sounds like Mavis the Brave was on the battlefield. She was visiting my villa. I'm not supposed to be on the battlefield."

"But I do have a report that I saw Mavis the Brave on the battlefield. There are rumors that he was accompanied by a platoon led by Uncle Elsted."

"That's a rumor, isn't it? Earl of Elsted. Is it true that you accompanied Lord Brave?

Under Alfred's gaze, Lloyds rises to speak.

I saw Lloyds rise and heard a leak from there that said, "A coward who fled in front of his enemies..." "Must be trying to hide his escape by making the warfare of the brave man his own".

seeing Lloyds. Their gaze was somewhere containing mockery.

Other aristocratic acclaim directed at Lloyds today is to the Ten Horsemen, a man who once held the position of Thousand Horsemen.

And he is a man of high rank as a nobleman named Count, but defeated in the struggle for power.

Being unable to leave as a soldier at your previous meeting, I was forced to participate as Count because of the fact that I was a party to the conflict area. From the surroundings, he has become a man desperately raising evil to regain power.

Nor has he denied the rumors in particular.

And Lloyds' own appearance also made him persuade by the rumor, as he looked like he had one thing in his belly.

As for Lloyds, I have made no particular excuse when it comes to rumors.

Bad rumors have even exonerated me from court service, and if you can get me back to the realm, it's hard to hope for Lloyds.

(Though, even though it was embedded by that one, I guess I can't throw it out and stick it in the territory more than I keep it as a subordinate)

Ha, Lloyds snuck out a sigh.

"I was in charge of escorting civilians protected in the battlefield backwards, so there was no such thing as an honor to accompany the brave Mavis."

"Isn't that a civilian escort, an enemy escape?

Speaking whilst staring sideways at Lloyds was Marquis Welt van Kleifdorf.

"In some village, there were reports that enemy forces were eliminated by troops led by Sir, but in fact there were reports that Sir and others had sidelined the achievements of the brave men"

"Well, that's interesting to see where the report comes from. Marquis. I have received an order from the late Fayr Thousand Horsemen regarding the escort of civilians to the rear, and it is a grossly misconceived escape in front of the enemy. When it comes to our performance in some village, it was until we called in the Knights of Our Land to escort civilians. I was a natural coward, just in case. It was a blessing to have happened to encounter enemy forces while retreating. Besides, the village where His Excellency the Marquis says it is is a village called Doria in the territory of the Klefdor Marquis. Instead, the Marquis said thank you to our Knights for saving your precious people and eliminating the enemy army."

"Shit... I appreciate it"

Welt tongued abominably.

"Keep it around, Cliffdorf weather, Uncle Elsted. With regard to the departure of Uncle Elsted from the position, there is certainly a signed formal order signed by the then superior officer, Chief Fayr Thousand Horsemen. Therefore, it does not hit the enemy's escape. And Lord Brave did stay in the royal villa."

Alfred sees a nobleman who made a statement earlier that there were reports that the brave men were on the battlefield.

"Or what? You think I'm lying?

"No, such a thing..."

"I say in awe, Your Highness. Even though she is a brave man, she is a beautiful nobleman of our country. The blood of the Imperial Family is also drawn. Many fears. If His Majesty the Emperor sanctifies you, shouldn't you be obliged to obey?

"Yeah. If it's supposed to be, it is. But Lord Brave is sanctified by the goddess Anastasia, so the truth is we can't force ourselves. Duke Mavis, how's it going over there?

Leticia's father, Duke Lectre Van Mavis, who was gazed at by Alfred, had a bitter look on his face.

"Perhaps even the sacrament of His Majesty the Emperor will not be easily obeyed"

"I think so too"

"In awe, Your Highness"

Welt makes a statement again.

"Even if the brave men are not actively cooperated in our empire, I still don't find it pointless to count them as a force of war. No matter how brave you are, if it becomes a crisis in your country, you will rise, and when you rise, it will only deter others."

…………

"And one more thing. My Knights have that brave master muscle knight candidate. The candidate must obey life from the top of the organization, beyond being a knight as well. If you order him to cooperate with the brave men, we can't let this get in the way."

"Oh, sure."

"I see. I do have to obey orders. And as a disciple, I follow my master's words."

One endorsement after another goes up in Welt's remarks.

"If you have your Majesty's sacrifice, why don't you just order that knight candidate to ask the brave man to cooperate and show things to the Kingdom of Petersia for a look?

Welt, in the middle of his speech, smiles niggardly at Lloyds.

If you are a nobleman, you can also express your thoughts in the form of an opinion, even if the title is above.

But in the Knights there is a huge difference in rank between 10,000 and ten horsemen.

You can't pinch objections unless you're allowed to speak, and you just have to obey orders.

"That's right, Cliffdorf Weather. Did you have that hand?"

"I can imagine the Petersians turning blue when they see the brave men at the head of the Knights!

Welt nodded satisfactorily at the voice of the pursuit, raising one hand around him to show it in response.

"Your Highness, if you command me, I will go with the brave to the front line, and you will see it in the royal palace of Petersia with the banner of our empire. Please, sacrifice to Your Majesty!

"Oh, it's about that. Marquis."

Alfred smiled at Welt pressing for a decision.

"I'm sorry, Win Bird, but the knight candidates are repositioned."

"What?"

"I have an idea."

After a moment of silence, the hall was surrounded by a noisy atmosphere.

"Haha, no, I laughed. I laughed."

"It's not funny, Your Highness. Now the wind feels stronger and stronger to the Win Bird Knight candidates"

One room where meetings had been held until earlier.

Alfred was talking to Lloyds, who was a participant and just left alone.

"Was this able to contain the danger of an immediate outbreak of the main warriors?

"At least you won't be taking advantage of Win Bird as you please."

"Whatever, because it's the only weakness of Lord Mavis the Brave. I need to hit my hand early. Besides, you didn't disagree with me on this one either."

"I would have liked you to be a little more discreet."

Lloyds sighed.

"So, are you sure the candidate stays that way?

"Oh. I don't think that's a problem"

"No, no, the problem is the pile. I'm going to put a male knight on the side of Her Royal Highness, a civilian."

"It's far better than our sister being used as an instrument of power struggle for the aristocrats. Besides, it is also difficult to use the Win Bird Knight Cadet as good. By the way, do you really know what deterrence is?"

- The Empire is ready to wield the power of the brave.

Certainly nothing short of deterrence.

In fact, Leticia's power can reach the heart of the enemy.

However, it is a story if it is a national opponent.

It's more of a threat to other countries than knowing where that power can be directed.

And if they actually thought there was something to be wielded -.

"In the meantime, the empire will perish, won't it? And..."

Alfred gives a soft look when he puts his hands together.

"As a brother, I'd like to give my sister a chance."

The Knights headquarters are on the same premises as the Knights School.

Wynn sighed loudly, ha, as he dived through the front gate and walked to the building where the Knights headquarters were located.

Tiara, who told Wynn to come to Knights headquarters, demanded that she come dressed up.

I mean, there were circumstances waiting for me to have to change into a dress, and that fact was weighing Winn's heart.

(I wonder what the call is. I was recognised for my battle the other day and thought I could get something, but then Master Tiara had nothing to do with it, and I'm just a candidate for the Knights in the first place, and I don't need to bother calling them to Knights headquarters in my outfit...)

If it's a reward in military service, I won't call one Wynn.

In the first place, the advance party was ravaged by the Royal Petersian Army, with more damage on the imperial side.

It is normal to be told from the mouth of Lloyds, the platoon captain, even in the unlikely event of a prize or promotion decree, beyond what is an exaggeration to say of a loss.

Due to the drastic decline of the Orthodox knights packing near Imperial City by that coup incident, the Knights School has been closed for two months now.

Winn's environment has changed since then.

No, it would be better to say that the entire student, not just Winn.

The northern border of the Lemursil Empire stretches with vast tracts of land that the Demon King ruled.

There was once a prolonged war between the nightmarish humans and demons until the Demon King was crusaded by the brave.

The Demons, of course, many of the demons have better physical abilities than humanity. And the lower demons have also been strong in reproduction, and the human side has been pushed by overwhelming material differences, and the empire has continued to make great sacrifices.

That is true even after the fall of the Demon King, still near the northern border, with serious damage caused by demons.

As a result, there was a situation where the elite knights near the northern border could not be pulled up, resulting in a thinner fighting force from the centre to the south.

The Empire had to turn students into warriors.

When you give your name at the reception at the Knights headquarters, the person in charge will lead you to the room upstairs.

It is co-located with the Knights School, but Winn has never taken to the upper floors where the Knights headquarters are located.

At best, I have visited the first floor to receive documents, etc.

The former palace left behind columns and murals with beautiful and elaborate finishes, but unlike the chivalry school, things like condiments were taken away.

The door of the room that was guided was the deepest part of the floor.

The door, made of thick black painted oak, was more splendid than Winn had ever seen.

On the door is a bill that says' VIP Room '.

"Oh, you know? Is it really this room?

"Yes, I'm asking you to show me around."

Unexpectedly, Winn turned to the woman who gave her guidance, but when she smiled at Winn and gave an example, she walks away.

The wins left behind stood up in front of that splendid door that unleashed a sense of intimidation somewhere.

(What do we do? Wouldn't you open it and get mad...)

Wynn had been solidifying in front of the door for a while, but I thought it would be a problem to wait for the great man who took the time here and called, never knocking on the door with his will.

"Come in."

A voice was heard from the inside allowing him to enter the room, and Winn opened the heavy oak door, "Excuse me," he said.

The interior was a room to welcome visitors to the Knights, where huge paintings of knights on brave horseback rides were painted, decorated with swords, shields, armor and other armor built for decoration, scattered with golden patterns and gems, and also seemingly luxurious conditioning items were placed.

And a huge table was placed in the center, with four figures waiting for Wynn.

Of the four, three took their seats and one stood.

(Is that it, Captain? Besides, how could Cornelia and Tiara be together?

The only person standing alone was Lloyds Ten Horsemen. He is Winn's immediate supervisor.

Tiara muttered small as Winn came in, Cornelia waved small and smiled.

Winn finds his familiar face and only relieves him a little.

"Win Bird Knight Candidate, I'm here"

(Is that it? Who are you sitting in the middle of this? Like you've seen it somewhere?

When Wynn thanked the knight, the young man still sitting pinched between Cornelia and Tiara, let Eagle Deep snort.

Knights outfit - close to, but white Knights outfit made of thick cloth. It had a golden mall and was gold threaded with cuffs, hem and even a refined embroidery.

Only the Kingsguard Knights can wear white knight clothes in the Empire and only a limited number of them can wear gold decorations.

A person who is Winn's contemporaries, but who can sit in the upper seat than Tiara, the first empress of the empire and princess of the Elf tribe for Cornelia and the Great Sage, second in the right to inherit the throne.

I mean...

"Oh, you can relax. Today's visit is informal. As Crown Prince of the Lemursil Empire, I wanted to see you today, Win Byrd, master of the Valiant."

Imperial Crown Prince, Alfred Lau Route Remulsil.

on his knees in haste, grinning bitterly at Wynn for his most salute to the royal family,

"I want you to be my sister, Cornelia's squire."
