"Kohon..."
Master Wilhelm was coughed up like that.
Unemployed, that might have been a bad way to say. But I couldn't think of any other way to put it.
Master Wilhelm is scratched on the cheek just to hesitate a little.
"No, there's... there's one thing I'm misunderstanding"
"Yes..."
"Non is not going to retire completely from the Knights, is he?
"Heh...?
I inadvertently returned it to Master Wilhelm's words.
I meant to be brave enough to retire from the Knights Commander, and I just thought it was something I was going to retire completely. But does that mean I'm still in the Knights?
Master Wilhelm was bitterly laughed at for my such reaction.
"No, Non has been a knight captain for a long time... there is a little bit of tiredness. Therefore, the future Knights Commander intends to leave it to Vector. It doesn't change that Noon is retiring from the Knights Commander."
"Duh, what do you mean...?
"As a position to give advice and opinions to the Knights Commander, there is something called an advisor. I don't suddenly leave everything to the inexperienced Vector as head of the Knights. At first it will take the form of a gradual entrustment to the whole job, while helping Vector with his work. After Vector has served as the Knights Commander, he's finally retired."
"Were you..."
"Hmm. Speaking of which, you didn't say"
It's my first ear.
As far as I'm concerned, I just thought that Master Wilhelm had been bravely defeated by the Knights Commander and that from now on, it was something I could live in relaxation. And for that, I couldn't even get my salary as a Knights Commander anymore, and I thought I had to cut my savings and live my life.
But at the same time it's good news, you're just a little lonely.
I thought we could stay together all lunch.
"Besides, Non has been a Knight Commander for a long time. Those retiring from the Knights are basically given a Knights pension. Until you die, you can expect to get your living expenses from the treasury."
"Really?!
"Mm-hmm. Some people are forced to retire because of injury or illness. There is a system for guaranteeing those people a future life. Flare Kista is not an outrageous country."
I see, I'm convinced.
Surely, you're going to need support for those people, aren't you? I fought for the country, so I can understand that the country guarantees future life.
The law teacher didn't teach me that much. I'm understudied, too.
"So don't worry. I don't mind wasting some time."
"Uh..."
"What, it was a man's life. It didn't cost me that much for my daily living, and I didn't hire a servant. I'm going to save quite a bit. Until he dies, he won't have a hard time with Carol in terms of money."
"Oh, thank you"
Honestly, thank you.
but.
Somehow - somehow, but I feel it.
"... Dear Wilhelm"
"Mm...?
of Mr. Wilhelm sitting, I will also sit next to him.
Grab the sleeve of that hand and lean over.
I don't even want to remember anymore. The day Wilhelm was reported to have been killed.
Since then - you've smeared my heart, despair.
"Please, Master Wilhelm..."
"Carol?"
"Death, etc.... yes, don't tell me. I've always wanted to be Wilhelm's wife..."
"... Carol"
Mr. Wilhelm, I understand you're getting old.
I also know that you're the same age as your already deceased grandfather, Duke Ridd. Even if Master Wilhelm is young enough not to make you feel old, nevertheless.
I - I don't even want to imagine that, such as the death of Master Wilhelm.
Gently, Master Wilhelm's palm stroked my head.
"I'm not going to die."
"... Dear Wilhelm"
"I got such a lovely new wife. Dead doesn't cut you to death. Diseases and Reapers will drive you away where you came from."
"Well......!
Imagine Lord Wilhelm pulling out his sword and fighting against the sickness and the visit of Reaper, and I laugh dull too.
But more than that.
That's what you said about me, my lovely new wife.
That's right.
I'm Mr. Wilhelm's wife.
It kind of gives me a very real feeling, and my cheeks are getting hot.
Phew, and Master Wilhelm were slightly bitten to death by the lack.
Infection on me, too, is not necessarily an aberration.
In the shade, there is a cool breeze. Somehow, I'm getting sleepy.
I can't. I need to stay awake.
"... that?
"Shh..."
Master Wilhelm leaned on me just a little bit, and he was resting like that.
You're tired of your daily work. Even so, I may have apologized for letting you hang out with grass pulling and such.
To Master Wilhelm, whose eyes are closed, my cheeks also loosen. Next to me, I'm just glad you're calm enough to get sleepy.
I'll do it again, too.
"Eh heh..."
"Shh..."
I lean on Master Wilhelm for just a little bit, too.
Keep your eyes closed.
Wilhelm-like body temperature you feel and a breath you can hear.
It's like - it's like the world is, like, just the two of us, happy hour.
I wish this time would go on forever, forever...
"Captain Wilhelm!
"Mm..."
Ha, and open your eyes.
I wasn't asleep, but my eyes were closed, so my vision dazzled by the sudden light.
It was a different knight from the other day who came from the front door to the garden. I've seen it. Sure, was he the captain of the Gazette battalion?
Even though Master Wilhelm is off-duty...
"Mm, duh, what's up, Gazette"
"Sorry about the nonsense!
"Um, I don't mind. What happened?"
"Ha!"
I don't mind at all.
The corner, even though it was a happy time alone with Master Wilhelm.
Yes, I look at the captain of the Gazette battalion with resentment, but he didn't notice.
Master Wilhelm will rise and go next to the captain of the Gazette battalion.
Perhaps that's something I shouldn't hear, being an outsider, even though I'm a Knights lecturer.
I'll wait in silence.
Master Wilhelm was bitterly tongued after a report by the captain of the Gazette battalion.
"... ok. Understood. Enter the royal palace immediately."
"Ha! Sorry........."
"I don't mind. Exactly, I can't leave this to Vector. I need to talk to His Majesty..."
"So, thank you!
"I'll report back to Vector later."
"Ha!"
The captain of the Gazette battalion is coming back.
But my heart took a cloud. Even I can tell. Something urgent happened.
And.
Master Wilhelm says we have to go right away...
"Sorry, Carol"
"... Yes, Master Wilhelm"
"I had to head to the royal palace as soon as possible. I don't know when I'll be home. I'll be on my way now."
"... Also, is it war?
"No..."
I don't like it. I absolutely don't like it.
I don't want to wait for Master Wilhelm on the battlefield anymore.
This time.
This time - because a miracle may not happen.
"It's just a little smelly. Anyway, Noon will be on his way. I might get busy for a while."
"... Yes. I understand that."
"Okay, I'll take care of your absence!
Master Wilhelm ran for the stables on his back.
It was a happy time. It was a really peaceful, happy time.
……
Sit down, pointing your lips.
Because of this, I could have been my wife.
I don't know - I feel more distant than before.
