The Duke’s Daughter Is the Knight Captain’s (62) Young Wife

I explained to Master Wilhelm how it happened.

Master Wilhelm also knows that Zach originally tried to offer me to the bad guys. So the explanation itself was easy.

Well, he looked sinister about the blow Natalia made.

"... I see. Sure, I understand."

"Did Master Wilhelm take Zach? I've never seen it before."

"Mm...... oh. It's true that he worked rudeness against Carol, but he was only an eight-year-old boy at the time. There is ample room for circumstance due to the fact that the evil man who used it was responsible and, above all, his sister was grabbed. That's why I decided to work back under Noon's protection."

I see, that's Master Wilhelm. I have a clean heart.

You decided that even if you don't condone the bad guys, you shouldn't be guilty of cutting them off, even to the Zach boy who was unintentionally used there.

"Look at the fold, Carol was going to hook me up. Zach is still immature. I promised that if I could get a team in charge, I'd get them together."

"I'm sorry I distracted you."

"No, it's bad that Zach and Glenn were about to take a break in the reception room. Many knights are taking breaks in rooms they don't use because the dining room isn't very big. I didn't blame much until now...... it is also possible that Carol was harmed in some way by this being a newbie or not being polite. From now on, let's take control of the wind discipline."

I'm sorry, and Master Wilhelm bows his head to me.

Nothing, it's not that Master Wilhelm is bad. Even if you apologize that way, you'll be in trouble.

"I don't care. And there's Natalia."

"But... it's not too late since something happened. Quickly, let's start touching today."

That's serious, Master Wilhelm.

That's a very nice place, too.

"So... what do you say?

"Yes?"

"The... I guess I haven't seen Zach in a long time. Even if it's a pile of talk, isn't there? If you want to talk about something, you don't have to go out of your way for lunch."

Well.

Sure, I haven't seen Zach in a long time, but it's not that exciting a topic. I'm curious about what happened to your sister, but I don't suppose that's a good story to step in and listen to.

More important than that is my time with Master Wilhelm.

"No, especially. And Zach's passed out now, too."

Most importantly, Natalia's blow to Zach must have been terrific. I am still peeling my white eyes.

Maybe Natalia is better suited to be a female knight than my samurai.

"... well. Okay, fine. Non also has an errand in the afternoon and can't take much time... can we have lunch here?

"Yes. I don't mind. But Zach and... uh, Master Glenn? are you sure?

"Let's leave it in the infirmary. In the meantime, Carol needs to get lunch ready."

Master Wilhelm says so and carries Zach and the other knight on his shoulder. Maybe he said Glenn earlier, so it's the name Glenn.

That's just how powerful it is, and I can't help but see it. Master Wilhelm, it's lovely today.

Out of the room, Master Wilhelm will take you both to the infirmary. In the meantime, I'll be ready for lunch.

Even so, it's enough to open lunches, cut buckets, and make tea. The reception room doesn't seem to have the ability to boil the tea, so it's a little chilled. But if it's with a meal, it's just as good as being a little cold, right?

In no time, Master Wilhelm has returned.

"Okay, let's have it"

"Yes, enjoy"

With Master Wilhelm, we'll start eating.

By the way, Natalia was spreading her little lunch at the end. I haven't neglected to be vigilant while eating. That's Natalia, right?

"Hmmm... yummy"

"I'm glad you liked it."

"Sure, did you say Chris? The head chef."

"Did you know?

"Because Alberto says it every day."

I know most knights, and Master Wilhelm laughs.

No way, I didn't think he was going to be a celebrity in the Knights. Don't tell the person. My attitude towards my brother is going to get colder.

"Speaking of which, Master Wilhelm"

"Mm?"

"What business did you come to the Royal Palace for?

It's with a sudden call, is something wrong?

If the war against our neighbours is to begin, we cannot remain calm. I don't know what I can do.

At least if you tell your father from me, he might be able to hit you with something.

"... oh, no, not a big deal"

"Really?

"Oh. I was just going to ask His Majesty's stupidity for a little while. It troubles me a lot. Especially with His Highness."

"Your Majesty, you have a lot of heartache."

You don't want to remind me much about His Highness Rayford.

I also feel that the future of the kingdom is at stake when I think that person will be the one carrying the country from now on. My father is also willing to commit a rebellion on behalf of His Highness Rayford.

I can't say that. Master Wilhelm won't say anything like that, but he doesn't know where his eyes are. You shouldn't be imitating the Duke of Ambrose to the detriment of his family.

"Oh, and Miss Mary Hopkins."

"Is that him?"

If you try it on me, Miss Mary is the first person I've ever met at a nightclub, and I have no idea.

It just seems like you loved Your Highness very much, and wouldn't it look good on you? I want you to continue to love Your Highness more and more. I don't care anymore.

"Oh, my lord, Your Majesty is troubled."

"Really?

"It doesn't seem very serious about education. If you become the fiancée of His Highness Rayford, you will naturally be the future queen. And I'm going to wait for school to graduate and get married. Then naturally, you must behave as royalty by marriage. Even though the queen teaches herself, she often runs away and plays."

"... is it still

After all, did you escape?

I was somewhat sure. Because I wanted to escape, too.

It's really tough, the queen. That too, I have been educated for seven years from the time I was nine to the time I was sixteen. Miss Mary has to wear that in about a year, so it must be Tsu's way.

Well, I'm not serious enough that I don't think His Highness Rayford is really going to carry the country, either. My grades at school didn't seem very good, either. With all the athletic connections, I was still pretty good at it.

That's something you can't help thinking about.

"Then... after all, Your Majesty cares. Relationship between the Duke of Ambrose and the Royal Family. Keep it up, it could turn the empire against the enemy."

"... well, that's"

You won't have a choice.

He said that my engagement itself, the royal family, was what told me in the first place. The territory of the Duke of Ambrose is vast and connected to the next empire, the most powerful nation.

I have such an almost reciprocal alliance with an empire because my predecessor, Duke Ridd Ambrose - my grandfather, was cordial with the empire. Since then, the Ambrose family has independently connected their pipes with the Empire, and the ambassadors of diplomacy and so on are always enough to be done by the Ambrose family.

That is why if it were to be my marriage, a lady of Ambrose, there would always be a messenger from the Empire. Isn't that the real reason why, on that occasion, we tried to have a stronger relationship between the kingdom and the empire?

"The empire's forefathers have been defeated, and in another month they will be annoyed."

"Speaking of which, I've heard such rumors. You think the new emperor is eighteen?"

"Mm-hmm. In the meantime, we must send out a messenger of condolences from the royal family. And beyond going to the Empire, that diplomat must be headed by Gilliam, the current Duke of Ambrose."

"I see."

It's about your father, so you're going to make this a good weapon, too.

What would the Empire think if Father refused to go and sent out a messenger other than the Duke of Ambrose? If it is judged to be light-hearted, an empire may strip its fangs here, five times the land, twenty times the power of the nation.

Plus there, if the Ambrose family gives to the Empire, the kingdom is doomed already.

"That's why you're worried. I wonder what to do. There was no answer."

……

Neither can I. I can't answer that.

In view of the current situation, Your Highness has broken his engagement too badly.
