"Yes, definitely! Start with Carol and your friends!

"Ugh, um..."

I am impressed by what Master Wilhelm has said. My relationship with Master Wilhelm was only 'my grandfather's friend'.

And even from Master Wilhelm, he was only a 'friend's grandson'.

That's what Mr. Wilhelm made me a friend.

Let's not call this progress, let's call it something.

And Master Wilhelm told me to start with a friend, that's what he said.

Getting started means stepping gradually from friends and eventually there is a path to becoming a lover, and a wife.

For that, I will spare no effort.

I mean, this is a trial given to me by Master Wilhelm.

"... Captain, I'm sorry, but I'm going to work"

"Ah, Alberto, but!

"He's your friend, isn't he? Then it's not like I don't know anything better than to talk to your friends about their interactions. Nice to meet you for your guide to the lovely Carol."

Ha, and for some reason, I sigh heavily, and my brother is leaving.

Speaking of which, I hadn't thought about it, but if the marriage between me and Master Wilhelm were decided, it would be very complicated to have a brother's position.

Master Wilhelm is the Knights Commander, the highest ranking as a Knights. And my brother is just a knight in the first place.

If Master Wilhelm and I are tied up like that, Master Wilhelm will be my brother-in-law for my brother.

I just hope this doesn't affect my brother's work.

"So, Master Wilhelm. May I join you?

"... oh, I understand. Let me show you."

"Thank you, Master Wilhelm"

And I will walk with Master Wilhelm.

I refrain from Natalia behind me, but only Master Wilhelm is in my sight.

Wouldn't this be a good idea to call it a date anymore? Think of it that way, your cheeks get hot as soon as possible.

"This is the arsenal. When things happen, everyone in the garrison will take their weapons from here and go to war."

"Aren't you usually wearing a sword?

"Oh. We basically have a simulated battle between wooden swords. Troops that are turning to alarm, too, don't take it seriously. It is their duty to protect the people of Shirai, and their swords must not be directed against the citizens."

That's right, Dear Wilhelm, your words are also enlightening.

As long as a noble man like Master Wilhelm exists as head of the regiment, the Knights of this country will not run viciously.

"From here on out, it will be a training center. Ahead... is Miss Carroll a little irritating?"

"Dear Wilhelm,"

"Mm... you know, Carol might be a little irritating"

When I showed my slightly obstinate face, Master Wilhelm corrected me without saying anything.

I don't want to be called a lady, lady, forever.

In the first place, a lady is what you put on someone you're not close to or treating as a child. Ladies, it's embarrassing to be called that forever.

"I'm fine. If it's where Wilhelm works, I want to see everything."

"Mm, but..."

"I want to know what you're doing. Please, don't hesitate to show me."

The training station means that there is probably a mock fight going on.

That look of a tenacious knight fighting each other may indeed be a stimulus to me.

But it is with such training that we must be a strong knighthood. If so, I'd like to see it without having to.

"If... it would be good"

"Thank you, Master Wilhelm"

Master Wilhelm, as it were, opened a stubborn door.

Beyond that, apparently, a large circular space. There is no roof and it feels like a courtyard.

Without excess, if there's not a fight going on there, though.

"Whoa, whoa!

"Ahhhhhh!

"Oops!

"Uh-oh!

You can hear intense anger. It's rampant around like a fight.

Nor is that fully equipped like the usual Knights, most knights are naked in their upper bodies. I didn't think you were training in this outfit.

Sure, you'd be tired, such as training in full body armor.

with each other's wooden swords, but nothing is different from blunt weapons when well-fitted knights are wielding it. Some of them seem to have passed out.

Splashing blood and sweat.

Sounding haughty voice.

Temper to be poked like a hot air.

Horrible, I honestly thought so.

but.

I'll see.

This is a battle between men and men with all their might. It's just one act of it.

It's a space that people like me can't get into.

Psst, and the high noise echoed, and such an act marked the end.

"The battle ahead is training in mixed warfare"

"Mixed war, is it?

"Oh. The battle of the army in action takes three stages. At first, interception against the assault. Next, mixed warfare with enemy allies. And finally, a pursuit against the fleeing army. Right now, you're training for a mixed war."

I'm not sure, but it must be necessary training.

All I've ever read is love stories. Should I also read the military and war books in order to understand Master Wilhelm's story?

"Mixed warfare is hard to get used to at first"

"... Really?

"Oh. It's mixed with enemy allies, and everything in front of you looks like an enemy. If you're a recruit or something, it's a shame. Sometimes I kill my allies by mistake... that's why I need this kind of training"

……

I'm not sure what you're talking about, but I can see the history of the battle that Master Wilhelm has been laying down.

Master Wilhelm is someone who has been on the battlefield for over forty years now. That profound experience must have been after many battles.

Something very scary and difficult for me to understand.

That's the war.

"Dear Wilhelm,"

"Mm?"

"Master Wilhelm... aren't you scared?

Along with earlier sounds, apparently resting, the knights rest their bodies thoughtfully. Though we have been wooden swords until earlier, we are so close that we do not think we are opponents who were slashing each other.

This is training, not like in action. You know that.

But.

I just toured one end of it though.

It seemed, to me, very scary.

"Afraid."

"Are you scared, sir?

"No one is afraid of a battlefield they don't know when they will die. That's why it's Non's job to build oneself, to train one's men, to allow one person to survive more. If the crisis in this country is truly coming, it may be in exchange for Noon's neck."

"No!"

I don't believe it.

What the hell is it, such as in exchange for Lord Wilhelm's neck? For me, the survival of Master Wilhelm is paramount over the survival of the country.

"So Non was not willing to have a wife. A man dies at the command of Non. A man dies in the placement of a non. Non takes the future of the knight. Because of this, if you have to risk your life to save your country."

"... but"

"You don't have to cry about the death of Non..."

Ha, and Master Wilhelm exhales heavily.

I just listen to it, I'm going to cry. If Master Wilhelm died, I would surely cry. You will cry until your tears are cleared. And I'm sure you'll be debilitated as it is.

If there was poison there, I might leave it to momentum to drink.

"But Carol... if Non dies, she'll be sad."

"... Yes. Like a child, I think I cry."

"If you cried Carol, you wouldn't have a face to match Duke Ridd."

Master Wilhelm will put his arms together.

I know you want to say something, but you seem troubled. I'll wait for that word.

Finally, Master Wilhelm, he opened his mouth.

"If you don't... don't die"

"Yes, please live with Carol, Master Wilhelm"

"When that happens, how old should Non live..."

Ha, and still sigh.

Isn't that decided?

All the time,.
