"............ I wonder if it was really good for me...

With the chirping from the knights, I whine little by little with my mouth to the style that is leaning on me as an assistant to the side.

"Well, it's that Jill Bale suggestion.... worst case scenario, let him take full responsibility.

To the unforgiving words of Style I accidentally laughed bitterly in my heart alone.

It was three days ago that Chancellor Gilbert offered me a proposal to go to the Knights' persuasion from the extermination war.

When this Knights celebration is held, I was wondering if I could try my mother's substitute to get out on the way. "Because sometimes you need candy as well as whips to gain trust," he said.

I was just fine because I wanted to say thank you for this inconvenience and all the help I could get, but honestly I liked that much, albeit the First Princess, and instead of candy even when I went to work looking great, I said, "No, it was extra hard because of you, wasn't it?" I was just anxious that it would be a sexual air.

He enters the large hall, which was the venue, with a style, and greets him in front of his mother's chair. And I headed back to say hello to Chief Roderick Knights and Deputy Clark.

... Although I honestly didn't feel very angry again.

But in fact, they stopped me first by hand as soon as I tried to apologize. "From now on, you leave everything to us, not yourself... I just want to say that it should be..." He smiled small as he wrinkled between his brows, seemingly difficult, after clouding his words a little.

"From now on, at the very least, I'd appreciate it if you would ask us to cooperate from the beginning.

The vice president nodded behind the knight's words as well. I was glad that you had forgiven me, and I also replied "I promise" while holding the Knights Commander's hand.

From now on, let's properly report to the Knights Commander, even if he's pissed off. Much better than annoying and confusing like this one.

Behind me, Style also nodded as he glanced at each other with the Knights Commander and Deputy Commander.

As it is, I ask the Knights Commanders to allow me to greet the other knights, and I express my gratitude and gratitude to each and every knight for this effort.

I look for the knights who wanted to say hello this time with my eyes, reassured that everyone was not surprised. Along the way, Arthur was seen chilling from the shadows of the knights, and Arthur, who knew I was coming to greet him this time along the way, pointed at his mouth and fingers, and told me a single report.

"Sounds like you're over there," Style whines in my ear. Looking back as it was, they were just on their way to me. I raised my voice before the nearby, less of a joy.

"Captain Alan! Eric, Captain Column."

To my voice, the three of them opened their eyes as they ran.

……

"I'm sorry I raised my voice all of a sudden. I wanted to thank you once.

He walked over to us as Lord Pride lit up a little.

Why, Alan, anyway, all the questions precede me and even Eric without words.

Alan also had earlier momentum solidified like a lie as soon as Lord Pride spoke to him, and he stood on the bar. Why does this happen when he is outside the mission and in front of himself?

According to Arthur's story, even on duty, he showed off his brilliant grandstanding in battle and could even afford to lend his team clothes to Lord Pride.

Even in the previous drinking seats, when it came to rumors that there was a lot of exposure, even though Master Pride said he had only a valve in an excited way to stand around, he said, "Uh, I lent you some group clothes for once. No, more than that! At that time, Master Pride was so cute, and Master Pride didn't even care about my sword." How stupid of a workout is that?

Even while doing so, Master Pride first reached out to Alan, who was in the lead, and grabbed Alan's hand as it stood, nervously motionless. Alan's posture is corrected, tense and stiffened to the tip of his hair, making him look like a figurine. "Uh... ah... pubp... Dear Pride, me! Oh, Alan and..." and I also feel the words are getting worse than before.

"Thank you then, Captain Alan. Thank you very much for protecting us.... really, thanks.

Master Pride, who says so and smiles, looks dazzled, even radiant. Alan managed to eat "it's outrageous," and when he returned his greeting, he slowly walked over to me and Eric this time. And to my… first, my gaze was turned.

"Captain Column.

As soon as I got that soft grin from the front, I couldn't sneer about Alan either, and now I reflect.

……

"Captain Column.

After Captain Alan, Lord Pride walked up to us.

Reach out to Captain Column first as it is. Then it turned bright red as the face of the column captain looked awe-inspiring in his hand.

The knights around them are also surprised, as is usually the change of a calm and deposited column captain.... Captain Alan hasn't made one move yet though...

"I'm sorry I couldn't thank you then. Thank you for your concern.... I think Captain Column, who was thinking of the people who helped him out under any circumstances, is a great person. Thank you for your continued support.

Captain Column is now solidified by Lord Pride's laughter. And I put it down for a beat, and then I said, "It's... it's an unhealthy word..." and I kept my head down many times.

Lord Pride tilted his neck at the captain of the column apologizing "I didn't notice you then," laughing in concealment of his mouth when he gave him a look as if he had finally figured it out, "it was sweet and very nice," and the captain's head was totally boiled enough to tell even from behind.

Yes, unlike me, Captain Alan and Captain Column exchanged words with Lord Pride, so I know you spoke specifically.

But I think Master Pride called me by my name earlier.... or was it just my fault?

With that in mind and keeping an eye on Master Pride, he glanced at me so that Master Pride, who had finished his greeting with Captain Column, would flow.

"Eric."

... I knew it wasn't my fault.

Four years ago, I just stared at it in the distance, and at Chancellor Jilbert's party, I had the best of greetings, and I just saw you at first sight in this annihilation.

Lord Pride was really looking me in the eye.

……

"Eric."

From the area where Lord Pride ended his greeting with the column, the heat in his head finally cooled down a little bit.

And look back again. Yabe, I could talk to Master Pride again. He even remembered my name. And thank you for protecting me.

Glad to see you back in later. If you look, the column is still lit up while looking at Eric and Lord Pride. My eyes were patting, as I was surprised that Eric had been spoken to by Master Pride.

"Arthur later told me that you had rescued the people from the cage and led them to the carriage until the last of them. Thanks to you, my beloved people have been saved. Thank you so, so much.

That's what I said, I gave Eric my hand, and I squeezed that hand.

Wow, this guy's been working so hard for me? The knights other than me, the columns, left their mouths open in surprise at the words.

Eric at the time circled his eyes unbelievably and thought he made his face red… seeping tears straight into his eyes.

The other way around, Lord Pride gives Eric a look of surprise when he snorts and cries. Still, Eric never let go of Master Pride's hand.

"It's an extra word..."

Finally, Eric returned the words so as to bite them. He shook Master Pride's hand back with both hands and bowed to hide his crying face as he lowered his head.

"I couldn't do anything four years ago," says Eric, who still cares, about how much work and gratitude from Lord Pride... I know, too.

As it is, Master Pride strokes his head to touch Eric's crying hair. "I'm counting on it," he said gently, falling down, tears overflowing from Eric's even more leaning eyes, zeroing.... Wow, I envy you.

Even then, to each of the knights falling into the avalanche, Lord Pride had given us words of gratitude and hard work.

"Hey... am I the only one who looks like a goddess to Master Pride?

I manage to get between Column and Eric with a body that's relieved of tension. I still can't stop crying. Hold Eric with one arm and put the other arm on the shoulder of the column.

"I didn't know you even recognized me or Eric...... unbelievable...

Rarely unresponsive words returned from the column.

Eric rubbing his eyes in my words or in the words of the column… or in both? He nodded silently over and over again.

"Lord Pride's Kingsguard... in which you'll be able to captain, right?

"If it weren't for the nomination system, there would likely be a killing instead of a beating then.

"You're definitely going to increase your competitive rate with this annihilation and today's labor.

"... right.

Overlapping columns and words, I recall the words just said to Master Wonder and Pride.

'Thank you very much for protecting us.

"Something, me.

I unconsciously got a lower voice color and Column and Eric looked at me at the same time. Continue your words toward the two of you without taking your gaze off Master Pride.

"I'm so proud to protect Master Pride.

Protecting him.

Because I think it will also lead to protecting the people, knights, dear friends and men.

Also, I want to protect that guy.

In my words, two people in my arms nodded small.
