"From me, too, … is it good…"
The tongue doesn't turn well due to nervousness.
It's Lord Pride I'm talking to right now.
The first princess of this country, who will be queen of this country in the future.
I'm not a good person to talk to.
I know that better than anyone.
My father leaked his voice, "You..." and Clark, the deputy captain, stopped.
It's natural for my father to say, I really can't help but get stuck out like this.
But...
Because this might be my last chance in my life.
Master Pride gave me the look of surprise, but immediately forgave me without the appearance of being angry, "Yes, I don't mind."
I can talk...
I'm with this guy...
"... father...,... for saving my father... thank you...
I put it into words from the first thing I wanted to say.
It's just... my father and Clark are still right there, and I'm embarrassed and I can't even face forward properly.
All this time, I wanted to say.
That you helped my father.
At that time, if my father had died, I would have regretted it the whole time.
Besides... I never noticed this thought either.
……… … will… be… "
"... Huh?
When I tried to say it, my throat dried up due to nervousness and I didn't have a voice.
Master Pride listens back, and now it's time to wake up physically. But I still don't have the courage to look ahead.
Still, I keep leaning down and start talking.
"I'm... a special abilist...... but my father... it's not even a force for knights, and... it's only a role for crop growth...
Look at your own hands on the floor.
It doesn't fall off whether you wash it or not, it's dirty dirty stained hands.
It's the hands of a loser who didn't even hold his sword for a long time.
Once again, I feel sorry for myself, and I want to kill myself before.
"I am... not even at my father's feet... I am a fucking human being..."
When I stuck my fist on the floor to leave it to myself, the blood seeped in. Just hit the floor. It's these lame poor hands.
The more you say the truth, the more miserable you are, the more pitiful you want to be out of sight.
I know.
I understand the shit I do better than anyone else.
... I know this is just annoying to hear from me like this.
I know, or I know it's natural to be kicked in the ass if I can't.
Still, I still want to ask this guy.
I'm weak now, and I can't do anything. I'm the useless scumbag.
"... me... I'm going to work out more... my father's fucking archaic... work out... so"
Please, I want answers.
It doesn't have to be the answer I wanted.
It's just that he's a hero to me like my dad,
You did save my father then.
Because he's the one who made me realize everything.
Now it's time to raise your face and turn to Lord Pride.
He's circling his eyes and still looking at me with serious eyes.
Yes, because this is who I am...
I wanted to bet all my life on Temé and ask this guy...
"Can I be a good knight too?"
If I noticed, my vision was blurred.
I can't see the face of Lord Pride, or the faces of my fathers, that looked so clear anymore. Still, with a voice that remained plundered, he muttered, "Even now," as he wished.
Cool. No, you look fucking pitiful.
Cry and call, he looked exactly like then.
Please, please...
I hope so as to pray to God.
I'm not ready to be denied.
Still, please.
Again, I want you to inspire me to have the courage to stand up.
I can't even get up on my own. Because I'm a scumbag.
And you made me realize that, so...
You're the one who saved my life.
I wanted to be a knight again, and you're good at keeping me alive and killing me.
"You can be.
Thoughts stop.
As if, without any hesitation, this man said.
Look straight at me. No matter how suspicious those eyes are, they don't look like cheap gavels...
Even in dreams, are you watching?
Tears fell as soon as I blinked.
I could see Lord Pride smiling and slowly opening his mouth in a slightly clearer vision.
"No matter who in this world denies you, I affirm. You said you could be a fine knight like your father. And let's just... keep waiting as long as I have my life. When you visit this room again as a knight.
I doubted my ears.
He said he'd affirm me.
When you get used to a fine knight like my father.
All the time, you've been waiting for me to become a knight...!
Impossible, that's not true.
That man is the first princess of this country.
I live in a different world than I do.
Oh, my God, there's no way you're waiting for such a bottom-line person.
Still, I just couldn't take my eyes off Master Pride, who smiles gently.
Master Pride slowly comes forward.
Step by step, you're approaching me.
That time... I've never seen Lord Pride this close since that time when he slapped me, "It's okay".
Someone who changed my life... slowly before mine.
My body trembles and my whole body hair stands upside down.
"Show me your face."
When I stop in front of him, Master Pride kneels down and peeks into my face.
nervousness and I can't believe what's in front of me, I can't move one thing, it just stays.
Her beautiful fingers lift my hair dirty.
He looks narrow, pathetic. He looks like my father.
It's a proud father and a face I didn't want anyone to see because I didn't like the miserable self overlapping.
Lord Pride stared me in the eye and caressed my head gently as it was.
"Let's promise. I will wait for you until I die. Become a knight, like your father... no, in the life ahead, when you became the knight you aspired to be... protect your beloved people and my dear family.
Also, I said you'd wait for me.
That's not a mistake, and you promised me. I don't believe it.
Besides... like my father, not.
To the knight I'm going to strive for in my next life.
That's what I said as I looked at this face like my father.
You affirmed a man named me.
And people and families… "protect" what matters to them.
Nobody, this guy wanted me.
Happy, scared and overwhelmed.
There can't be such a miracle.
Lord Pride's hand adds my cheek.
A gentle, smooth finger tells me that face I've always wanted to hide.
"... I... can protect you... I... what the hell...
I lose my temper and make a weak noise.
I want to protect it.
It's not just about me, it's about this guy, it's about everything else this guy ever wanted from me.
But can I do it?
I'm not even a knight yet, to this me weak as a bug.
It's important to this man.
I'm not sure. I'm still saying at the bottom of my heart that there's no way I can do this.
You don't believe me any more than anyone else in this world. I say.
"You can. Because you have the kindness to think and tear up your family and such fine hands. And..."
Master Pride holds my hand.
It's a dirty hand full of field work abrasions and blood beans, seeped with mud and blood.
I can't believe it. Master Pride held such a hand without hesitation and stared back at me harder.
"Don't you... want to be so... strong?"
I couldn't stand it anymore.
I have wished and would have wanted tens of thousands before.
I'm sure I wanted someone to notice.
I want to be strong.
I want to protect it.
He wants to be a knight.
The strength of this feeling I've been burying in the bottom of my belly.
Strong, strong, wishing more than anyone, to the presence of this feeling that kept hiding.
You noticed, you put it into words...
You gave me all the words I wanted...!
I don't know what to call this salvation.
"... ugh... ahh..."
Is it good that I get everything so much? I said I didn't pay this guy any money.
But if... I'm the one who got you so much, can I just wish for one more thing... can I want one...
"I will……………………………………………………………………"
I beg you to wish more than anyone in this country deserves.
Hold the soft hand that accompanies me and clasp it in front of me.
"All my life...! Let me protect you..."
You're the one who gave me everything for nothing... you're the one, I want.
I want to dedicate everything to you.
All of me without it.
I want to protect you. I want to protect everything. And I want to keep protecting you.
If you're gonna wait for me to become a knight for as long as I have my life.
I want to be a knight and protect you as long as I have my life.
I want to fight for this man and die a knight for this man.
Master Pride has a surprising, strange look that solidifies him.
You're lost, and still my resolve remains the same.
I know, more than anyone that I'm unfamiliar with.
Still, I wished, I wanted.
He wants to protect this man with his life at stake.
Stronger, more noble than anyone.
I'm proud of the name, I want to serve you because I'm this guy.
Just wait for the word to snap.
After a while, Master Pride looked at me and smiled gently.
"You... what's your name?
He answered with a smile and asked me my name.
In words as if they had been affirmed, I entrust my name to a desire.
"Arthur... Arthur Beresford."
That's the name my father and mother gave me.
And it's the name of the man who gives you everything.
Master Pride gets a stiff look and solidifies again.
Those are thought-provoking eyes that remind me of something.
What's the matter, have we met somewhere?
"Dear Pride...?
I accidentally speak up. Review me as Lord Pride has noticed me.
And smiled happily.
He smiled heartily.
"... Arthur.... It will surely not be far into the future to be fulfilled.
Suddenly, it was a revelation.
Lord Pride, who called me by my name, speaks out as if he had seen the future.
Not far into the future...?
I don't know what that means, I even wait for Lord Pride to say it.
"Now, I predicted. You will be a fine knight in the near future. It's not just me, everyone admits, to a strong knight.
Lord Pride holds my hand back hard.
He was sweet and warm with his hands.
"And you'll be a knight who should keep my back.
prediction, she said.
It's a word from Lord Pride, a foreseeable man.
I'm going to be a fine knight.
That you can be a strong knight that everyone admits.
And...
When you become a knight who should keep this man's back.
You're lying...!
Lord Pride told me I could be.
Yes, he smiled and said it to me.
I mean, you can keep your back with me.
Yes... you admitted it...
I opened my eyes with surprise, happy and overflowing with tears from my eyes.
I'm the one, I'm the one with the pride back...
"I'll wait, Arthur. And..."
Master Pride suddenly drew my hand.
And when you get a look like you're ready, you put your face close to my ear.
Master Pride whispered to me, surprised and speechless.
"When I judge you to be the enemy of the people of this country, cut off this neck first.
An unmisheard, clear voice pierced my brain.
I don't know what that means.
It's like you predicted that one day you'd be slashed by me...
I don't like it.
For a moment in my head, I see myself bouncing off this guy's neck.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
All you have to do is kill this man.
Master Pride tries to get up and pulls it off by accident.
What the hell are you talking about?
Master Pride looked a little surprised and laughed again to calm me down.
"It's okay, the last one isn't just predictive.
I'm a little relieved by that word.
Good, he said it wasn't predictable.
But why would you do that to me...?
"Your sword is to protect those you love.... my desire to be such a knight.
Lord Pride continues, as he sees through my doubts.
Beloved...?
Then why did Lord Pride tell me to kill myself?
You're the one I want to protect.
Yes, I did tell him. And Lord Pride answered.
I'll be the one who should keep my back.
"When I judge you to be the enemy of the people of this land, cut off this neck first.
Are you sure this isn't a prediction?
Only anxiety pushes me.
There's no way to be sure.
So I decided to give everything to you, so I nodded and I swear to you:
"Ok... I will always be a knight! I will protect you, your precious things... my father, my mother, all the people of my country, as long as I can reach them... such a knight."
I want to protect you, even if everything in the world is an enemy.
Still, when you become enemies of the people, if you wish, you must slay them.
I'll keep you safe with what's important to you.
Don't let you step off the road.
Don't let someone step on you.
Do not contaminate your noble heart.
Don't frustrate your strength.
And don't let myself ever step off.
I will also make sure to protect you and what is important to me.
I'll never let you go the wrong way.
Whoever dirty your way, whoever tries to fall, whoever stands in your way, everything. I'll kill him with my hands.
And if you...
When you were strong and noble, you were about to break.
"If we don't save him when we know we can save him..."
I will save you.
Just like I was saved by you today.
Whatever your predicament, I'll reach out to you.
Just like I was today.
Arthur Beresford.
In this name, I swear here and now.
I'll definitely try to protect you, this guy.
This is mine, put everything on.
