Master of the brave.

First serve ②

It was not until the age of eighteen that the royal family of the Lemursil Empire officially engaged in official duties.

Nevertheless, if a foreign emissary, a leading nobleman in the country, comes to visit, he must perform his duties as a princess.

Cornelia, who had also completed her task this morning of merely receiving an aesthetic from a nobleman who had come to worship his father, His Majesty the Emperor, walked in a serious hurry down the hallway to the Empress.

The royal women's room is also the deepest part of the palace - it exists in the rear palace.

The hallway was pointlessly long, and spacious, and took time to travel.

From each pillar to the ceiling to the walls, majestic decorations by leading architects and artists may serve to convey the imperial beauty to visitors to the palace, but what lives in the palace is only a daily landscape.

Instead, I could only remember the annoyance of moving the vast grounds.

(Winn, I can't believe it's your first day out, but I'm keeping you waiting)

People who can be used for different knights and palaces can no longer face a person who walks at the speed of running all the time for a moment unpleasantly.

I raise my voice of condemnation for the behavior hanging on elegance, which is not appropriate within the palace, but I was surprised and hastily saluted that the person was a venerable Cornelian princess.

The outfit Cornelia is wearing nowadays is not a luxurious dress or anything else worthy of being an empress, but a simple dress that is not decorative and emphasizes ease of movement.

(You'll be pissed off if you can't be Mary)

I saw a familiar figure ahead.

It was just Mary I was thinking about.

Admitting Cornelia's appearance, he gives a deep salute.

"I'm sorry I'm late. Wynn, have you?

"Yes. You are not being served anymore..."

"Is something wrong?

Cornelia heard an incident from Mary with someone who would be Raymond Van Hoffmine.

"Really? Speaking of the Viscount Hoffmine family, could it have been a gateway to the Cliffdorf climate?

He's the new courtroom magician.

(I wonder if Klefdorf is also trying to develop his power within the court magician)

Traditionally, knights and court magicians are not very friendly in the empire.

Against the Arbitrary Knights, many court demon mentors turn to bureaucracy after age with strong ties to the civilian population.

As a result, there was often conflict in policy.

Is it finally an attempt to strengthen power inside the Empire that the Klefdorf Marquis family, the prestigious family of Takemen, has included blood relatives in the court sorcery division?

"Yes. In addition, there were times when Master Wynn had not yet been summoned for uniform."

"Really? So, like a precaution?

"I was wondering if I could get around it."

The two head to the rear palace side by side.

A friend of mine was standing in front of Cornelia's private room who was finally promoted as a knight this spring.

Precisely close to the Kingsguard Knight, in the position of a subordinate of the Crown Princess Cornelia...

"Good morning, Your Highness."

"Good morning. Mr. Wynn. Cornelia is fine in invisible places. I think of Winn as a dear friend."

"Okay, Master Cornelia."

"The language is the same as usual."

"Yeah... okay, Mr. Cornelia?

As a little lit up, Cornelia laughed happily when she still looked at Winn, who honestly reworded him, then narrowed her eyes and looked at his whole body.

"You couldn't come with new clothes. Oh, or wasn't it the right length?

"It was the right size. It's just because I'm still a student, and SS wasn't officially announced as a unit. Remarkably, I don't think my clothes will float."

"Really? Winn, I think you'd look great in it."

Winn only made me try to return the bitter smile.

The colour of the uniform, new as Cornelia's squire, is based on white.

In the Empire white is the colour that noble men were allowed to wear.

In the official setting, the royal family, the head of the aristocratic family who was awarded the jazz and the minister-level heavy minister were allowed to wear it as a courtesy dress.

And Winn's uniform is based on white, with cuffs and other edges in blue, and decorated with gold and silver yarn.

Still, I've only given Winn one in the Empire.

When a squire is still in a win-win state and a man close to his age can be used on the side by an unmarried royal princess, he is also likely to receive rebellion from his surroundings.

Alfred seemed to intend to make an announcement after rooting around and getting in shape.

At the moment, only a small part of them had heard rumors about Cornelia's SS.

"But Mary scolded me for trying to wear it from time to time, too. One of these days, you'll get used to it."

"If you wear it from time to time, you can wear it naturally and with style and elegance."

Winn sighed.

"I have a badge on it."

Point to the chest.

Cornelia's emblem, a floral emblem of orange infarction, was shining.

"You just have to get used to it there."

With a bitter smile, Cornelia enters her room and recommends the chair to Wynn.

Immediately Mary brought the tea ready.

"Speaking of which, what do I do for a squire?"

"Right......"

To Winn's question Cornelia leans her little neck and thinks a little.

"It is my job to refrain from serving as an escort on my immediate side when I am supposed to be on official business, but I have not yet done a job that sounds like official business, and I hope you will occasionally accompany me to tea"

"Hmm, I don't think that's much of a job."

"I think you'll be attending school again later, so I think you'll be asking for that escort as well"

"I hear you've finally got the temple to reopen the Knights School. I'm glad I got my readmission waived."

The Knights School, which had been suspended as a result of the coup d 'état, was finally the carriage of reopening.

The replenishment of the lost Knights School staff was hastened over a six-month period.

Because with the deterioration of relations with the Kingdom of Petersia, we must rebuild the Knights as soon as possible.

Only in the current fiscal year, students who were enrolled in the previous fiscal year are allowed to enroll unconditionally.

And the students who went into action, starting with the coup d 'état that started with the Wins, were also exempt from the quasi-knight selection exam, which is an advanced exam.

Whoever was a candidate goes to the quasi-knight.

Those who were quasi-knights were allowed to be promoted to righteous knights.

They were expected to serve as the Knights' predecessor knights, who were students but were to qualify as orthodox knights, who were understaffed.

Of the students who became righteous knights, Winn was the only one to choose a squire, not a knight.

Unlike neither the Knights of the Court nor the Kingsguard, who was the original aspiration, he is the knight under the direct command of the Crown Princess Cornelia Lau Route Remulsil.

Nevertheless, Cornelia has officially held public office since the age of eighteen. It is not until next year that I will start working under her as a full-fledged squire.

Winn will also still be enrolled as a Cavalier School student.

However, attendance at classes was exempt to some extent.

Being a student, but becoming Cornelia's squire, he will be out of the chain of command from the Knights.

Essentially, Cornelia's squire assignment took precedence, and when she had time, she was to take classes at the Knights School.

"Are you going back to knight school?

"Yes, because the suspension will soon be lifted. Wynn, you may have earned the title of knight, but I haven't, have I?

Cornelia gave me a tearful grin.

"When your hands are free, there is also a Nebu-jo in the palace. Looks like the Kingsguard knights are being auditioned there. For once, why don't they go? And I'd like you to accompany me and my archery of swordsmanship."

"Yeah, well, that's exactly what I want too."

Winn and Cornelia continued their conversation over tea.

"Huh, something like this"

When he put his sword in front of him, Wynn stared at Ji Love Sword.

The well-polished blade reflects guilla and sunlight.

Nebu-jo built in the palace.

Winn was sitting on that cobblestone.

Inside the palace, magic is rendered unusable by the junction, with the exception of some exceptional places such as the laboratories of court magicians, which are built deep underground, and the infirmary filled by magicians.

One of the places that is considered an exception to this - magic was available here in the practice field, which is built like the bottom of a rind bowl.

The inner wall has a powerful junction that prevents magical damage from occurring externally, and several steps of seating are provided above the inner wall.

They invite royalty, nobility, and even foreign guests to create a fighting club.

Wynn was often in the practice field this way more often during the absence of Cornelia, who was the Lord.

Initially I had opened the book Leticia gave me, polished my swords and weapons, but I couldn't resist my desire to move my body.

(People's eyes... not much)

The problem is that when Winn is working out here, he gets attention from around him.

Because it is a practice field in the palace, many of its users inevitably become Kingsguard knights.

It stands out if Winn is training by mixing it up there.

Pulling out the sword he had just polished, Wynn stood up.

- You're the squire? Anyone with connections is good, right?

- Can you help me out a little?

Mixed with the Kingsguard knights, my whole body hurts thanks to a sword wave and a pair of hands.

(Um, if it was a fight between students, I had quite a bit of myself)

A descendant of a noble nobleman rich in natural magic - the elite Knights of Kingsguard among them.

Individual skill is also high, I am not going to take a pull if it is only simple sword technique and physical surgery, but when it is magically strengthened to physical strength, there is no hand application.

The way Winn fights, he slashes without matching his swords - but if his opponent's skill is also high, he has to take it, and is pushed off by force.

Not many times, I got knocked over a hard cobblestone.

(Not enough workouts yet. And experience...)

If you are a knight, you can experience combat in action on crusade missions, etc.

But the Kingsguard Knights are the Knights who defend the Emperor.

Not to mention that if you are the direct squire of Princess Cornelia, you will not have the opportunity to fight as a knight outside.

- Become a knight.

This was Winn's dream.

And I got the title Knight.

But it doesn't make sense if you can't just get the title Knight and defend the object you need to defend.

(Let's be strong. Strong enough to protect your loved ones. And someday -)

Wave the sword.

Just keep waving your sword wholeheartedly.

Waving his sword and sweating, Wynn walked to a well in the corner of Nebu.

This well is for drinking water during workouts and sweating again.

Take off your jacket and cover your head with water.

It is comfortable that cold water will rapidly cool your body with heat.

When I sweated and wiped my body and wore clothes,

"Hey."

I was called from behind.

'Cause I heard it was here if you were looking.

"This is Viscount Hoffmine, my lord."

Raymond stood.

"Excuse me for the meantime. As a matter of fact, I just took over the post this spring, and I didn't know what I was up to."

"No, welcome. He was dressed in confusion."

When he chirps his tongue, Raymond offers his hand, and Winn holds that hand.

"Raymond is fine. He is a court magician with a palace. Greetings."

"It's Wynn. I am a squire to Her Royal Highness."

"Oh, you're a civilian and you're a squire or something. I'm sorry I said you weren't noble or something. It's a big deal. I hear the Kingsguards are coming."

"Ahaha......"

Winn laughs powerlessly.

"So is Mr. Raymond something to me?

"Yeah, as I said earlier, I was just trying to apologize to you about the other day. Think of it on the way to the library. Did I get in the way of my workout?

"No, because I was just finishing up sweating. Looking for research materials or something in the library?

"Oh? Are you interested in books, too?

"Yeah, well."

"Right or right. Surprisingly, I thought knights were all muscular to the head. And, excuse me"

Raymond nods happily, then tinkles his tongue once.

"The library books here are fantastic. If you're interested, you should go too."

"Is anyone available?

"Of course. Past war history studies would be important to you knights, too, wouldn't they?

"Right. What books did Mr. Raymond read to you?

Is it a habit? Raymond tinkled his tongue again.

"Me? I am related to demons and demon kings. My research... on the Demons."

When Raymond said goodbye to Winn, "Well, here I am," he walked away.

Demons - the look Raymond brought to mind when he uttered the word. Winn's expression caught my heart.
