To the voice of the Knights captain, Captain Alan and Captain Column suddenly moved as if they had been switched on.

He quickly reattached the armor on the part of his hand that had been removed by me in a slight panic, and when he put his arms behind his back, he pinned his spine like a sword and turned back towards the door. After seeing the two of them move incredibly quickly, I replied to the Knights Commander.

"I'm sorry to keep you waiting, Master Pride.

The knights kept bowing their heads and coming in after the Knights Commander who came in politely.

Not the only knight with the special ability to treat injuries who treated my wounds. Along the way, Arthur came in side by side with me and bowed his head like all the other knights when he met me.

Surprised by the number of them, the Knights Commander said to me, "All of them, we know all about Lord Pride's injuries." If you look closely, they are all knights who were nearby when they were treated for their injuries. For some reason, everyone, except Arthur, had a relieved look when they saw my face. They were apparently worried about me, too.

"Column, Alan.... Rest in peace.

The Knights captain turned to Chirali, and Captain Column and Captain Alan. I shook my shoulders only once with both of them in the right position on the instructions of the Knights Commander.

Since yesterday's battle, Captain Column and Captain Alan have been volunteering to take on my Kingsguard assignment on insomnia break. In other words, most of these knights represent the two Knights Captains who are Kingsguard knights. They collected this many as well as Arthur, the same Kingsguard knight, so that the two of them could take a safe turn.... There was no Deputy Eric for some reason. Is it because I have to look at the squad the most instead of Captain Alan?

"Commander of the Knights, rest till tomorrow.

Mr. Steele also has permission. Captain Alan and Captain Column understood the slightly harsh tone of the knighthood.

The two men, who seemed to have put a little bit of effort into their lips, bowed their heads again deeply to us as they were. I stopped the two men who tried to leave with their backs to us in order to do as the Knights Commander ordered.

"... and just one more thing.

I really don't think it has to be now. Tomorrow, the two of them will be in the hands of the Kingsguard knights again, … because they are going to be engaged at least until they return home. But I didn't want to steam back what I just told you until tomorrow. I talked about everything properly today, and then I decided to entrust the rest to the will of the two of us.

"I'll be done in a minute," the Knights Commander said to me, "Shall I take my seat off once?" Of the two people who look back at me, I call the name of Captain Column first. He walked up to me again in front of the Knights Commander and the Knights, firmly correct his posture.

As soon as I had eyes with me, I held the neck of Captain Column with both hands, whose cheeks were slightly reddened by nervousness as to what they were going to say. In the ear of Captain Column, whose face approached him as it was, he conveyed what he had always wanted to say.

─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─

Captain Column raised his face slightly in my arms.

There was a column captain there who gently loosened his arms and stiffened his expression again if he laughed at him at the end.

When he softly touched his back with meaning that the story was over, Captain Column thanked him deeply this time and left the room.

After watching the quietly closed doors, I now turn to Captain Alan. Calling his name, he walked over with a slightly less nervous move.

When I tried to reach out, he quickly bent his body before doing so and put his ears close to me himself. I no longer had to hold him, and when I whipped him in the ear as it was, that was all my body was rigid as a stone.

─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─

In the middle of the words, … my chest tightened again when I remembered that time.

Tighten Captain Alan's head with his arms when he accidentally brought me closer. A stiff feeling of brown, short, golden hair stabbed my skin.... Now Captain Alan didn't say anything either.

─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─

Guh, and I can pull myself into my arms. I just said it myself and my chest hurt terribly.

I ran out of words to the end, enjoying tears seeping through me again.... I heard Captain Alan eating and tying his teeth hard. He loosened his hand and clasped to step away from me. If I looked back at Captain Alan, he kept his head silently and momentously bowed. Without having to touch his back, Captain Alan, who left early enough, made a noise at the door with Batan.

"... Thank you for waiting. Knights Commander."

After a full silence, he turned his attention to the Knights Commander. The Knights captain, wrinkled between his eyebrows to think of something, slowly shifted his gaze from the door where Captain Alan left to me.

Arthur is behind me when I give instructions by hand to the knights who refrain behind my back. A knight with a special ability to treat injuries, on my feet. And the other knights were deployed all over the room trying to surround me and Tiara.

Until now, soldiers and knights had protected us outside the room, but we were finally surrounded inside the room. If you can't move, princess, you can't help it.

It's about the cautious style, so I guess one or two of them, who aren't close knights to me or Tiara's escort, were anxious.

"… then, first.

The Knights captain, who walked by my side, began to speak slowly.

on future guidelines and my injuries, and plans during my stay.

... I didn't even know I was going to hear unexpected rumors I didn't even know about.
