It was between the ages of six and seven that I was getting out of the Duke's house every now and again and into the group where the children of the civilian population were gathered to play.

On my first occasion, I could hardly speak and could only see the kids playing at a distance. At that time, it was Zach who put me in the circle about 'Oyabu' at the time.

It leaves only a little shadow of those days, a red-haired young man.

I didn't know you were in the Knights.

"You haven't been called that in a long time. Haven't seen you in years? About ten years?

"Nine years, huh? You were about to fool me when I was seven."

"Is that so? Steady, that doesn't make much difference. It's been a long time, but I knew it at a glance."

Come on, distort the corner of your mouth, and Zach will look at me.

Has it changed that much? That makes me a little sad to think about. Although Zach seems a lot taller than he was back then.

Another knight was bewildered by the air between me and Zach.

"Oh, hey!? Zach!?"

"Oh, never mind. I used to be familiar with him."

"No, wait, idiot! It's the Duke's Lady!? You're not a good opponent for people like us to talk to on a reciprocal basis!?

Zach does so with the other knight, but he doesn't move his gaze from me.

To me, I guess I still don't have good feelings. But it's not even my fault, so I don't have to apologize. That's why I'll alert Natalia with just my gaze.

And I, too, treat Zach with perseverance.

"Right, though? Do you want me to be humble? Duke's Lady."

"If you think you should, go ahead."

"Ha. You used to follow me around."

"Because I haven't forgotten that you cheated on me like that"

With the utmost vanity, we will stare at Zach.

Even though you turned out to help Master Wilhelm, it doesn't change that I was in a predicament because of Zach. It's also strange why you're in the Knights, but if I had appealed to your father or your mother, you wouldn't have had that life.

Zach sighed heavily at my answer like that.

"Well, fine. I don't know what else to do with your excuses."

"If you're going to get an excuse, go ahead. Not necessarily for me to ask."

"No, I won't tell you. I'm not thinking of turning to Wilhelm's enemies."

Mm, and frown root.

Why does Master Wilhelm's name come up there?

"Isn't it strange that I'm in the Knights?

"It's weird. I thought you were tied up."

"I used to live with my sister. Slam. Such a sister was caught by them and threatened to bring a duke's wife who plays a lot with her if she wanted help. Because my sister was important too... Well, you know how it turns out."

I don't know the details, but your sister's already been sold, you heard.

Though I just thought that's why you hated me.

"Later, it was the Knights who helped my sister"

"Did you help!?

"Oh. Originally, trafficking in human beings is illegal. So after that, Master Wilhelm moved the Knights to pick up an organization that was illegally trafficking in human beings. At that time, my sister was saved... well, not entirely safe."

Was that right, that's Master Wilhelm?

Maybe you could find a connection to an organization that is illegally trafficking in human beings in those bad guys.

I guess that's why Zach is so beneficial.

"So..."

"Yes."

"... I'm so, so sorry"

Zach fell on both knees, and bowed his head to me.

Courtesy as a knight is something to bow your head on one knee. As for the modus operandi against those who are more stately than themselves, it is said that they are the finest.

But if that's on both knees, it's not the story.

You can always stand up on one knee and lower your head.

Kneeling both knees in comparison can't get up right away. It means that you can get your neck dropped on the spot more than you can handle immediately.

I mean, Zach is.

You can be slashed by me on this occasion - I'm ready for that, I bowed my head.

My neighbor's knight is in a terrible hurry.

I, too, was so stunned by the situation. What the hell is this all about?

"Please forgive my previous disrespect. Dear Carol Ambrose,"

"... Zach, what the hell"

"It was the Knights of Wilhelm who saved me from deceiving the Duke's Lady and aiding her in her kidnapping to the bad guys. You put me ten years old in the Knights without blaming me for being the cause of it all. And you've worked it out from the bottom of your heart. I swore to Wilhelm that if I could eventually become a fine knight, physically and mentally, I would apologize to Carol."

What is it?

What is this complete palm return?

I don't know what to say to too many Zach words.

"Still this body is nothing but a first-class knight, immature as a knight. I dedicate this loyalty to you."

"... you know, it"

"It's a ritual of loyalty as a knight. Take it honestly.

Zach, with his head up, was smiling, doing it to.

Good, it's Zach. I thought someone else was possessed.

"Why do you say you swear allegiance to me? It must have saved you, Master Wilhelm."

"Oh."

Zach gets up and pays his knees pounding.

Apparently, Zach's 'Knight' is over.

"But you didn't tell anyone about it... did you?

Indeed, I told my father and mother that I was about to be kidnapped by a bad man. That's why Natalia was hired.

But.

Sure, I never told anyone about Zach.

Because.

Because that night, all I could think about was Master Wilhelm.

"The measure of forgiveness for the person who lost his sister in front of him, knowing that he was the one who put himself in danger. I'm like you saved my life. That's why I have to risk my life, too."

"... nothing, that's not what I meant"

"All I can do is atone for this sin. Say anything. If you'll forgive me, I'll do anything."

Seems like a lot of change. You're disgusting through the earliest surprise.

Looking at Natalia with only her eyes, she apparently relieved herself of vigilance.

The knight next door, after all, is in a hurry. I'm spraying bubbles from my mouth.

"Okay, Zach."

"Ooh."

"Just one shot, I'll hit you. So I forgive you."

"Okay."

Just eyes, signal Natalia.

I won't hit you. I'm powerless.

Havoc related is Natalia's job. In my weak power, you won't be making amends for your sins.

Saturnful Natalia, that's all she understood.

"Now, if you'll excuse me"

Natalia, as a woman, has supple arms.

Thoughtful, behind you like a bow puller.

Momentum, take that fist to Zach.

"Huh!

"Yabu!?

Zach blew it.

Humans, that's what blows you to the wall with one blow. I'm bleeding out of my nose. My fair face is ruined.

That's Natalia, right?

"I made you wait, Carol! Sorry, with a sudden call from the royal palace..."

So finally, Master Wilhelm is here.

As for the situation, it's a lot of chaos.

A knight who is too confused to be blowing bubbles.

Zach leaning against the wall and losing his mind.

Natalia poking out her thoughtless fist.

"... what the hell is this?

"Dear Wilhelm, Thank you for waiting. Which would you like to have for lunch?

"Can't you ask for an explanation before that!?

Mr. Wilhelm's face, who hastily asks me to explain yes, was still stern today.
