In the morning, I went to the tailor with my mother.
I had the confidence to pass yesterday, but I was still nervous and didn't get much sleep. At this rate, will I be okay in the afternoon?
As your mother tells you, align your clothes.
My mother and I don't really have the same back length, so I won't be stretching much from now on either. So I think I can use the clothes I bought today for the rest of my life.
And eat lightly with your mother all over the city.
I took Natalia as I was and even came to the Women's Knights with my mother.
The men's knighthood was on the edge of the king's capital, but is this outside the residential district, or something like that? The building itself remains much the same.
Mother goes in first, and there goes me and Natalia.
Same here, there was a receptionist as soon as I came in and a woman was sitting there.
"Welcome to the Knights of the Six Flowers"
Speaking of which, that was your name.
It's commonly recognized as the Knights, the Women's Knights, but with different names. The Knights of Men is named Black Iron Knights.
By the way, the Rokka Knights hit the lower organization of the Black Iron Knights. Therefore, Master Wilhelm, the Knight Commander, will be located above the Knights of the Rokflowers.
"What can I do for you today?
"I'm the Duchess of Elizabeth Ambrose. I'd like you to meet the Anastasian Commander."
"-!? Oh, what's your appointment...?
"I should have done the use last night, so you should know"
"I understand! Please wait a moment!
A receptionist goes in the back like she panicked.
Apparently, this one, too, has knights taking turns in reception. I wish I could hire a receptionist.
A woman came out, and smiled and recommended a chair to her mother, and to me.
"We're sending you to get it right now, so can you rest there and wait?
"Yes."
"Yes."
I nod at the woman's words and sit alongside my mother.
From now on, you are the leader of the Knights of the Six Flowers.
That's it, I'm nervous. And I will apparently be given an exam more immediately than the head of the delegation.
"Carol."
"Yes."
"Have you thought about what my mother said last night?"
"Yes."
After a good thought, I'm here.
For some reason, the receptionist said, "Uh, parents and children!?" I was surprised. When I go out with my mother, this is mostly the reaction.
My mother is too young.
"Then it's good. Don't waste your legs."
I know, Mother.
In no time, a woman appeared from behind the Knights.
Are you in your late thirties or something? She still seems young, but she is a very intimidating woman with the atmosphere that is haunting her.
As soon as you show up, I get it.
This is the leader of the Knights of the Six Flowers...
"Sorry to keep you waiting, Duchess Ambrose"
"I don't mind. I should have told you more about the use I sent you last night."
"I'm listening. I'd like to ask you a few questions on top of that, please come this way."
"Yes."
The woman at the head of the regiment urges me to head back.
The structure of the garrison does not seem to change much from the other side. When I went to Master Wilhelm's room, I took a path that was almost no different.
And at the end of that road, a luxurious door.
Rokka Knights Office.
"Go ahead."
It opens the door and prompts me.
My mother was the first to go in, and me and Natalia followed suit.
There is a large couch facing each other, and Mother sits on it without any hesitation. It's aggressive.
I sat next to it, too, and Natalia stood behind me.
The captain closes the door and sits right in front of us.
"I'm late, my name is Anastasia Eiblinger, and I'm the leader of the Knights of the Rokkas"
"I'm the Duchess of Elizabeth Ambrose. This is my daughter Carol and my samurai Natalia."
"My name is Carol Ambrose. Best regards,"
Dear Anastasia Eiblinger, Head of the Knights of the Rokflowers.
... Dear Eiblinger?
"I have heard more than I mentioned... that the daughter of the Duchess of Ambrose wishes to join the Knights"
"Yeah, you're right."
"It may be rude to ask like this...... are you serious?
Master Anastasia takes a glance at me and says so.
Perhaps she thinks her little, thin daughter is like this.
"Carol."
"Ha... sorry. You're right. I want to join the Knights."
"Hmm..."
As you think, Master Anastasia will do her hand to the jaw.
The modus operandi is also very similar to that of Master Wilhelm somewhere.
"The Knights of the Six Flowers can only belong to women. So people are short all year round. Mostly because I grew up quite a bit as a knight and then I got married and I got pregnant. So I'm leaving the Knights. So this is how you wish to join the Knights is a great welcome..."
"Is there a problem?
"Unblouse...... uh, Miss Carroll, are you sure? The Knights are a place that specializes in rough things. For this reason, we must also train harshly, and when things happen, we must go to war. And you could lose your life there. There's no more life assurance than your joining the Knights."
My brother told me something similar.
But I'm aware of that. My readiness doesn't waver that much.
"I'm ready."
"I can't take that responsibility over here."
"... eh"
Master Anastasia says that while scratching her head.
What does it mean?
"Mrs. Elizabeth, I'd like to ask you something."
"Yes."
"Assuming your daughter was accidentally killed during training for joining the Knights, what would you do?
"If, after exploring the cause of the accident, you decide you have no choice, I will not blame you."
Mother answers that with perseverance.
But Master Anastasia sighed heavily.
"Mrs. Elizabeth, maybe. But what do the others think? Will you tell me that you are not responsible for the Knights of the Six Flowers in that death? Assuming the death of your daughter is essential, and even if there is a conspiracy against the royal family of the Duke of Ambrose, we cannot take responsibility for it."
"So that's what Captain Anastasia tells Carol he shouldn't be joining the Knights."
"If I put it in a nutshell, yes. As for the entrance exam, it is the rule, so let me do it. However, there are many parts of the study that are left to the discretion of the examiner, rather than basically establishing criteria for passing if any results are to be achieved. This is because no matter how good a force you have, if you have a problem with humanity, you can't let it pass, and even if you don't have enough power right now, it's something that fluctuates, such as feeling futuristic and letting it pass. And I'll be in charge of Miss Carroll's exams."
I mean, Anastasia, cough up.
"No matter how good the grades are, my discretion will determine whether or not to accept them. From the above, you know what I mean?
"No matter what Carol does, she won't let you pass."
"As someone who worries about the future of this country, I thought it was a natural consideration."
Oh, my God.
From the beginning, my path to joining the Knights was closed.
"I see, I see."
And my mother, she nods so.
"Did you understand? On top of that, if you want to take an exam, I won't stop you either. I know how it turns out."
"Let him take the exam. After looking at Carol's qualities on top of that, don't think about the character of the house or anything. And when something happens to Carol, in the name of this Duchess Elizabeth Ambrose, I don't blame the Knights. After careful consideration of Captain Anastasia's thoughts, Carol's qualities, and my words, I hope to make a decision."
"... ok. Now, Miss Carroll, we're going to have an exam."
My mother managed to connect me to a thin thread.
I have to do something about it, and I have to be connected.
I know that this is just my selfishness.
Externally, I think that you are right about the head of the Anastasia delegation. It's only natural to worry about it.
So I am.
Beyond that, I have to show my worth -.
"Now let's go to the training ground. The test is a measurement of motor skills in general."
"Before you do, may I?"
Stop Anastasia, who is about to rise.
The general exercise ability exam will not show my worth.
So I have to show my worth with the knowledge I can have.
"We heard that the Knights of the Rokkas are recruited as Sword Knights, Bow Knights, and Hygiene Knights."
"... yes, I do"
"And as for sword knights, the qualities required are athletic ability. For bow knights, bow experience. And"
Knowledge I can have.
This is the only way to take advantage of it.
"The qualities a sanitary knight needs are exceptional knowledge of medicine and pharmacy - yes, it wasn't a mistake, was it?"
Educated as queen.
I'm part of it.
I'm more confident that I'm superior to a bad doctor about that knowledge -.
