Master of the brave.

Northwest region of Shimrug, the Imperial capital.

The section here has become an aristocratic town, with roads paved with cobblestones, flower beds built beside the road and street trees planted.

And in the corner where the separate residence of the nobles staying in the imperial capital was built, the residence of the Duke of Mavis existed. It deserves the title Duke and is quite a large mansion compared to the mansions built around it.

If you dive through the gates and head out to the courtyard, the flowers of the season will bloom in the flowerbeds, and garden trees pruned by leading gardeners will be implanted to soothe the hearts of visitors to the Duke's mansion as the birds chirp with a refreshing chirp.

That was supposed to happen, but a brilliant corner of the garden. A tremendous sense of tension unworthy of this atmosphere had been accustomed to flowing from Shia, who showed a calm standing.

The source of tension is from Wynn.

It is wrapped up in more tension than it was in front of Noel, the God of Destruction.

That should be it, too.

Person sitting face to face with Wynn. The man's name is Lectre Van Mavis, who carries a cup of tea in his mouth for his graceful work. He is the head of the Duke of Mavis family.

I mean, Leticia's father.

"I apologize for suddenly calling you so busy before your new assignment. I really wanted to see you in person."

"Yes, no. I'm sorry I didn't even try to say hello."

"I can't help it. Anyway, my daughter hates this house. He... says he's in Imperial City, but he doesn't lean on the house at all."

"Oh, no, that's..."

Winn struggles to respond to the abominably tongue-in-cheek lecture.

"To call me a noble princess, I grew up in a hell of a horse. Am I bothering you too?

"I can't believe it's annoying, no. Letty - she's just helping me. And it could be my fault that Letty turned out like that."

After meeting Wynn at an early age, Leticia always began to leave the mansion. He neglected studies such as his taste as a nobleman, his modus operandi and his upbringing.

I could hardly say that Winn, who created the cause for Leticia to leave the mansion, had nothing to do with it.

And Lectre doesn't deny Winn's words like that either.

"Right."

That makes me laugh bitterly.

"But by meeting you, Leticia seems to have got something more important than upbringing, manipulation, etc. It's not just power and fame as a brave man. Something important to me as a woman. If Leticia hadn't met you and I had raised Leticia as a parent, she wouldn't have been called a brave man."

Then Lectre whines without speaking up.

(And even as a woman, you must not have grown so beautiful and pathetic)

"He thinks he's grown up a lot because you led him as a mentor."

"I... I didn't do anything. Letty originally had a great talent in her sleep, but no one knew how to grow that talent, and she happened to meet me and find a way to grow that talent."

"It could be. But I still think I have Leticia now because I met you. Thank you so much."

Lectre said so, bowing his head toward Wynn.

Winn panicked as Lectre, in his capacity as Duke, bowed his head.

"Keep your head up, Duke. There are also servants' eyes."

"Did Your Majesty tell you that you are a 'hero' lined up with kings, clerics of nations? No wonder the Duke or so bows his head as one. Besides, those who remain in the Mansion today are all those who can be trusted that neither Stacia nor Rails gave. There's no inmate here who leaks what he sees and hears."

"Father."

Leticia came there.

He's coming in a light, watery piece with a bold white shoulder.

"What is my master...?

"No, no! It's a misunderstanding, Letty."

Seeing Winn in a hurry, you must have mistaken Lectre for saying something disgusting about Winn.

Winn hastily stopped watching the swordswallowing light dwell in Letticia's eyes looking at Lectre.

"What?"

Leticia turns her Kyotong face to Win, who rushes to control.

"I just got to tell you something a little surprising. It's not what Letty thinks."

"It is. I hope so..."

Leticia sees Lectre with a suspicious eye even if Winn takes it up.

Lectre looked interesting looking at such an exchange between the two.

"Hmm. I didn't know Leticia would listen to this easily...... Don't get any more true rumors that once you've got your figure, you've got the power of a brave man."

But Wynn was also now called 'Reachable and Existent in the Realm of God', and was also officially presented with the title of 'Swordsman' in a joint recommendation by Leticia and the three princes of the Kingdom of Lyon, Raul Orto Lyon, and even Lemursil Emperor Alexei Lau Route Lemursil.

Win himself has become a high-risk and dangerous opponent for other nations to try to gain the power of the brave.

Winn was now beginning to be called a famous' hero 'in other countries, thanks to Raul, who, of course, actively buzzed Winn's activism within the Empire.

But as a result.

Winn was to be forced to make one choice.

"The Brave" Leticia Van Mavis and "Swordsmith" Win Bird.

The power of the brave man and his master is enough to make him feel a sense of crisis for all foreign nations.

Winn had to quit the knight.

Winn just didn't feel so untrained when he had to quit the knight he was longing for.

Because that's how they realized that what Winn really wanted to protect as a knight - was what was always beside Winn.

"I would have liked to have invited you to dinner, if possible."

"I would like to say that if it is an invitation from His Excellency the Duke..."

"Ha, don't worry about it. Is that a courtesy dress? If you have a promise to His Majesty the Emperor, it is only natural that you should take precedence over him."

In fact, Winn and Leticia were supposed to enter the Imperial Palace after this.

After leaving the squad, Winn became available for use in the Empire as a bureaucrat. Alexei said she wanted to do the job herself, and Wynn went into the palace wearing courtesy clothes.

Having heard the story at the Imperial Palace, Lectre was able to tell Leticia to bring Winn here before entering the Imperial Palace.

Letticia doesn't always honestly obey what Lectre says, but she honestly obeyed this statement and brought Wynn to the Duke Mavis residence before the rendezvous time.

Outreach, Leticia may also have noticed Lectre's change of heart.

Previously Lectre was negative about Wynn's relationship with Leticia.

It is the difference in status between the Duke's wife and the civilian population. Very unparalleled with Leticia. I didn't think I could be happy.

But Wynn, who was somewhat of a knight candidate, Lectre also made his appearance at an alarming rate of speed. Serving the First Emperor of the Empire, he has good memories from the Crown Prince and can be seen with His Majesty the Emperor. And also have intimacy with royalty in other countries.

No one with this many connections will be so, not even those who are called the great nobles.

Winn, on his own, got just enough to catch up with Leticia.

"By the way, Mr. Wynn. I heard your knight sword was shattered and scattered in the battle against the God of Destruction, but what are you doing now?

"Now I use the dagger Letty gave me before. I'm about to retire from the squadron, so I thought I'd get a knight's sword now. - Speaking of which, this sword is a sign that Letty has the right to inherit the throne. Do you mind if I use it?

"No, fine."

"Yes, that's mine, so your brother can use it."

"Oh, and you actually have a gift to thank me, too."

"Gifts?"

"Just a little bit. Can you give me some time?

"It's okay. I still have plenty of time to meet Her Royal Highness."

Cornelia and I were to meet at the Imperial Palace.

After Alexei gave me the letter of appointment, the three of us are going to have tea.

"Well... will Her Royal Highness be with you today? Then I'll have to give it to you today..."

Lectre shrugged smallly as he bumped, returning to the main mansion and hurrying back.

In his hand, he holds a sword.

"Father... what is that sword - Huh!?

When I saw the sword in Lectre's hand, Leticia rounded her eyes. And peeking into his father's face, Lectre ignored his daughter like that and offered her sword to Wynn.

"This sword. I wanted to give you this sword."

"This is... May I unplug it?"

Watching Lectre snort, Winn pulls out his sword.

The polished body is like a mirror, I don't see one blade ruined.

I can tell it's quite a business for amateurs.

And Winn looked familiar with the sheath and pattern, the elaborate pattern engraved in the twillion.

"Have you noticed? That's a crack in the dagger Leticia did to you. The sword and dagger were given by His Majesty the Emperor in pairs. If you're going to use a dagger, you'd better have one of these."

"Are you sure, Father? Give that sword to my master..."

"Oh, that's the man you chose. Definitely. This sword is an important treasure to my Mavis family, but I will give it to you. Take care of him."

"Thank you Father!

"Thank you. I will use it with care."

"Uhm."

Winn looks happily obsessed with the sunlight. Leticia dyed her cheeks red (...) and stared happily at her.

"Speaking of which, Winn, what position did you hold today, when you heard about the appointment ceremony?

"This is Lord Cornelia's new village lord."

Its newly created village was the site of a village once inhabited by Leesberts and elves.

The village had the most important world tree young tree for the Elves. But in the coming of the devil tribe, the village perished, and the young tree of the world tree exploded and cracked under the power of the devil tribe.

So Leesbelt, who went to Hernassa, the capital of the world tree, returned with the seedlings of the world tree to rebuild the village with Seli.

Originally, it is the Elves who manage the young trees of the world tree, but there is not enough manpower to create a new village to take care of the young trees of the world tree.

So the Elves negotiated with the Lemursil Empire and entrusted management. The Empire was to recruit immigrants there to build villages.

And since the young trees of the world tree also have the power to act as powerful magical catalysts, the newly created village was to be the direct domain of the Imperial Family.

In these streams, Cornelia assumed the position of village lord, and Wynn assumed the position of deputy.

It was Alfred's suggestion that he could no longer be a soldier as a knight, but that if he were a deputy to a lord, he would be able to make excuses to other countries because of the fact that he was a civilian.

"I'm a lord's deputy in Pioneering Village, and someone I know runs a farm, so I thought I'd teach you a lot and plow it in the fields,"

"I see. Can a lord's proxy even be set up by a nobleman?

"No, you didn't hear that from Master Alfred. However, if you are acting on behalf of the royal family, you will need a ritual of appointment from His Majesty the Emperor, which means that you will be entering the palace today."

"I see. And the white (...) clothes you're wearing now, are they a diversion of the squad's clothes?

"Yes, Her Royal Highness Alfred was laughing that the color of the squad uniform would change, so we could use it with a little rework as it was"

Winn looks down at his outfit and nods.

"The new squad uniform is going to be purple."

"Yes, yes. When I told the captain that I would rework and use the squad uniforms as they were, His Highness laughed because he was stingy in strange places. He won't hesitate to say anything to the royal opponent."

"Yes..."

That's what Winn said and laughed frightened.

Leticia, on the other hand, has a subtle look on her face.

(Winn hasn't noticed, but apparently Leticia does. Leticia, too. That's what you call a woman)

White courtesy is inherently only allowed by the royal family (...) color.

For the time being, the Empress's squadron was allowed to wear a white uniform, but when the colour of the uniform also changed, only the royal family and Wynn would wear white clothes within the Empire.

In other words, Emperor Alexei and Crown Prince Alfred are making Winn known both nationally and internationally when they welcome him to the royal family as Cornelia's companion.

"Ah, brother. It's time to go to the Imperial Palace..."

"Right. Mr. Cornelia will be waiting, too - then, my Lord Duke. I will be at your leisure."

"Oh, feel free to play again. But show your face. That way, my daughter, who never leans on the house, will show her face again."

"Father!

"Yes, I'll drop by again"

Lectre drops off the two of them as they gently bow their heads to the respectful gatekeeper.

I was surprised to see Wynn wrap Lectre's sent treasure sword firmly around his hips, noticing his eyeballs getting a little hot, even for himself.

Then when I turn my heels back, I tremble on my shoulders uncontrollably with the laughter that rolls up as I walk toward the main mansion.

Seeing that appearance, one of the servants looked at Lectre with a flashing face, but he headed to his room without worrying.

If you enter the Imperial Palace, you will normally keep what serves as a weapon.

But Winn and Leticia should be allowed to carry swords.

And on the occasion of the appointment ceremony, the Emperor and the Crown Prince will notice about Winn's new sword.

Because the sword is a pair of swords that the emperor gave Leticia the right to inherit the throne at her birth - that is, a sword that should be given to those who become Leticia's companions.

And now that Rayles and Stacia, who sided with Prince Neumann, have lost their right to inherit the throne and the Duke and are waiting to be punished, we know that Lectre has admitted that Winn is the heir to the House of the Duke of Mavis as Leticia's companion.

What look do those two give me when I realize that. And when Wynn realizes what that sword and courtesy means, how does he react and which he chooses? I can't help but look forward to that.

('Cause we both have the option of getting it.)

The Crown Princess and the Duke's Lady.

Two of the most noble princesses in the empire, Winn, deserves to love those two flowers.

Now Lectre seems to do the same.

And perhaps both the Emperor and the Crown Prince would think the same thing.

(Well, he's the one who chooses. as long as you make an unmistakable choice)

With that in mind, Lecter went back to his room convinced that Winn must take the means to make everyone happy.
