"... I see. In other words, until Master Pride's legs are healed, he will stay in the United Kingdom of Hanazoo.

The Knight Commander nodded deeply at the story from me.

Indeed, the Knights Commander, who returns that it would be better to leave the country in full condition, confirmed Chirali and my feet with his eyes.

"Yeah, I got permission from both my mother and the king. I apologize for letting the knights stretch their plans.

"No, because Lord Pride is your top priority. The Kingdom of Friesia also has no problems, as Clark, the deputy commander, sums it up. Just..."

However, the last time the Knights clouded their words, they shut their mouths once. Throw your gaze from my feet to the knights who will now refrain from surrounding you in some meaningful way.... I wonder what's wrong.

The chief of the knights wrinkled between his eyebrows like it was hard to say again before exhaling a long sigh. And at the same time as he threw up, he turned a hard look at me again.

"As a matter of fact, … troublesome rumors were beginning to circulate among soldiers and our knights because Lord Pride would not show himself from the end of the war.

Tilt your neck to the words of the Knights Commander. Sure, I've been in bed since the end of the war. For once, it is only considered "resting," and instead, Chancellor Style and Jilbert have buried the job for me.

Are they thinking of a work skipping princess or something? I got a little worried and said, "Well, what's the rumor...?," he asked, opening his mouth as the chief of the knighthood had decided to be ready.

"I wonder if Lord Pride... has been sacrificed in the war.

... eh.

I unwittingly open my mouth to the Knights leader who tells me in a very far-flung way. Then the Knights chief bowed his head again, "I'm sorry…"

I mean, they think I'm dead. Sure, it was a stick-up until the war started. I can't help but be so misled if I stop showing up at all.

In fact, some of them were hidden to keep me from breaking my morale because of a foot injury, and that's not why it's completely off target. I know you would have thought you were dead if you had at least sent an injury treatment knight to me, but I already had treatment, and no one would have sent me because all I had to do was rest. The Knight of the Seventh Squad needs to see the other wounded, but he can't even call them for nothing. Even if I get the misconception that the First Princess is dying and keeps hiding it, I will deserve it.

"I will... I see...

I feel indescribable and laugh bitterly.

The story of the Knights Commander has been particularly rumoured among soldiers in the United Hanazoo kingdom, from which anxiety is spreading to knights as well.... Instead, I have to say I'm sorry. While apologizing from me to the Knights Commander, I nod that we should certainly take action. I don't want them to worry any more unnecessarily that you fought hard around the corner.

"My feet,... how are you?

I raise my gaze and give my voice to the two knights who are carefully watching how my injuries heal. The healing of the injury gets better over time if you don't move it. He still uses his special ability to treat injuries today, so it should be even better tomorrow...

"I think it's okay to move the right foot now. However, I was wondering if my left leg still needed time.

Stroke your chest down relieved by the knight's words. Good, my left leg would be broken or something, but my right leg would have healed quickly because I just twisted it. Boulder Seventh Squad, also has a pretty good special ability to treat injuries. The two knights of the Seventh Squad both looked at my face and laughed like they were relieved that only one leg had healed.

Speaking of which, you treated me then too and I haven't been able to thank you properly. I don't think I'm going to thank you properly, and I turn my eyes to the two faces again. Sure, those are the people I've seen a few times in the Knights' Exercise. Asking for his name, he politely named me Jail and Mart.

"Thank you. Jail, Mart.... thanks to you it really helped me then.

As I grinned with gratitude, the two faces turned red with their eyes rounded. He's still nervous if the First Princess suddenly calls his name.

When the Knights chief coughed up Gohon, their faces tightened again as if they were annoyed.

"So, … what do you say, Master Pride?

I nod to the Knights Commander who asks me to get my mind back on it. If my right leg has healed, it will be fine.

"Yeah, let's just say hello to everyone today. I will also tell everyone about the foot injury properly from my mouth.

"Now let me keep the knights informed that way," said the Knights, who are satisfied with my words. My theory of death should disappear because I will show up in public.

Well, that's where I remember having something to say to the Knights Commander.

"... Um, Knights Leader.

Pull back the knight captain who tried to move his legs to contact the knights quickly. "Something?" to the Knights Commander, who turned again to me. I will never face my will, … I bow my head.

"… six years ago.... sorry."

Would this be the second time I have bowed my head to the Knights Commander? While I was staring at my knees as I leaned down, there was no response from the Knights Commander. Slowly looking up from there, the Knights captain was staring at me with his mouth clearly open. It's natural to be surprised at the sudden apology. If I don't say it right, I open my mouth again.

"For my own sake,... someone gets caught in a dying situation...... It's very, very hard.

Talking, my fingertips tremble as I inadvertently grip the cloth of the bed remembering the horror of that time.

Captain Alan and Captain Column jumped in directly below collapsing for me, and I was terribly scared and hard when I thought Captain Column might have died afterwards.

Even when I popped up with a cliff crash six years ago, I wondered if the Knights Commander felt this way, … making it extra hard and sorry.

After a brief silence, the Knights captain exhaled quietly. The eyelids opened with surprise loosened... and he laughed.

"... you've grown.

to unexpected words. Now as I rounded my eyes, the Knights captain laid one knee on the spot and made sure to peek into my face.

"Lord Pride's actions at that time were… I too, at that time, let me tell you everything I had to say. However, if there's anything I can say because it's now...

He cuts words once and turns a quiet grin at me grabbing the cloth. That's all something comes in, and if you chew it all the way through your mouth, the Knights Commander's mouth opens again.

"Master Pride has become even more irreplaceable to us since then. So... about the blood oath or your foot. Remember, there are those who hurt your chest with all of that and sometimes suffer.

The gentle words of the Commander of the Knights creep through the pain.

I was always afraid to get angry, and the gentle smiles and words of the harsh knighthood chiefs made me want to cry so much asexually just that.

I hold my breath trying to relax my tear glands again. Still, every time I blinked, the polo and tears fell from both eyes into large grains.

"Please, take care of yourself.

To the last words of the Knights Commander, I can't stand it anymore and my throat groans.

... How many times do I hurt people?

I don't even know what I've ever had to worry about or be the subject of.

How many times have I ever made such kindness unobstructed?

Don't even notice the kindness of people who think of me or admire me.

I treat myself more coarsely than anyone else that those people care about me.

"... is, no... eh.

I managed to return just one word of it, making fists all the time and enduring.

... I want to take care of it, about me too.

Just while everyone thinks of me properly.
