For decades after leaving the Knights Chief's office, Alan and Column said nothing as they walked side by side.
Repeat words from Roderick in your head as you gaze at the pompous empty moon. And it was Alan who broke each other's silence the first time.
"Six years ago.
It was discussed six years ago on the pretend, and the column turns to Alan, questioning him. Alan was only moving his mouth as he raised his gaze to the moon.
"... maybe Arthur had already noticed then. That's the kind of danger Lord Pride is in.
The column rounded its eyes for the first time on the words.
I remember six years ago when Alan was trying to tell me to get pulled over. It's when Arthur hasn't even enlisted in the Knights yet, rather than recruits. Between the sights, he spoke with pride, … he was under oath.
"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."
Something important.
Arthur certainly swore that at that time. Neither of us know in what mood he swore so. However, it seemed as if the words were intact and overlapped with the roles assigned to us today.
He wasn't even a recruit at the time, how prepared he was to swear it.
"... extra, if you will. We can't take any further delays.
The column whining as he paid his forehead with his fingertips deflected his gaze from Alan once. If I looked up at the moon just like him, "I'll ask you just in case," I now rang from the column.
"... that's good, Alan. Preventing pride's dangerous behavior means standing around your favorite pride."
"Ahhh! Good is good... I don't like it when he thinks that way.
Alan, who struck down the column's words en route, stretched wide as he walked. Guru... and my physical tension broke off with each arm, and I dared to whine in a fluent voice that I wouldn't start working out now.
... Originally, it was that pride standing around that I admired. That's why I admired Master Pride as a warrior, and I fell in love with him. But now.
"... I... still want you two to protect me..."
I want to protect you.
I want to make that guy's wish come true so that he won't get hurt this time.
As a knight, and as me. Bet yourself on this guy's happiness.
"If I can protect you.... That's good.
"Really?" replied the column briefly, leaning down scratching his head and confirming Alan laughing with only his eyes. To that answer of just one word too much, now Alan peered into the column's face.
"You too,... don't ever die next time, okay? Master Pride's gonna cry. ~?
After speaking with a slightly more serious look, the column wrinkled between his eyebrows at Alan laughing like a tease at the end. "Originally not dead yet," the column said, eagling and pushing Alan's face as he peered into himself.
But the word, Lord Pride cries, opened my memory and my chest hurt small.
'... good... eh'
... I sincerely rejoiced and cried for my safety.
Never again will I make Master Pride cry like that.
If someone badly hurts their chest by being sacrificed, don't make that sacrifice.
"At least I'll never again forgive you for the outrage that makes Lord Pride cry about me.
Alan gaveled, laughing "Still stiff," at the column saying Piscilli out. After that grin, which also looks like a bitter laugh, Alan continues his words with a low voice color.
"Me too.... I'm sorry to hear that again.
Such thoughts. And from Alan releasing so blurry, the column felt a different shadow than the dark night. I recall then that the person who convinced me of my death was not just Pride, but so were my friends lining up next door.
"... sorry.
"Good. Because I will definitely pay you back one day.
That would be a return when I had it in my roots, a laugh came back from Alan when the column said it back.... then.
"... ah. Captain Alan, Captain Column.
To the lid, the appearance of a knight they were accustomed to seeing before they walked.
It was Arthur who noticed us first and called out to us. Was it before I took a break already, or I already took off my armor and dressed lightly.
We both shut our mouths once to think about something after we called them "Arthur" because of what we had just talked about.
Arthur could also guess why both of them had come out of the Knights Chief's office together, so hard to say, he tied his mouth and waited for the two to react. When I stopped and worried about how to cut out to the two captains as they faced each other
"Hey... you've grown up, Arthur.
Eh, and Arthur shouts out unexpectedly. I black-and-white my eyes at an unexpected statement from Alan, saying, "Oh, what is it? Suddenly!" I took a step back screaming.
"It's the same with my body, but I've definitely grown my back and I'm really a teenager and I'm growing fast...
"Sure. Compared to six years ago, it's someone else.
"Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait."
It doesn't matter to me that I'm confused, Arthur became extra embarrassed because Alan and Column just nodded, "I don't know..." and "um..." "Please don't look at me like that," he yells, lighting his face slightly.
"What was the captain doing so late?"
Change the story to say that you should stray from your topic first. I felt I accidentally stepped on a mine right after I made it into words, but I can't undo it anymore.
"Uh, we'll be discreet for a month.
Sari, and. Arthur turned his eyes round to Alan, who returned the words in an effortless manner. "As it were, it seems, since Eric's return," Alan continued, showing Arthur even a bright grin.
"But I'm free for that month. I was wondering if you would just let me use the exercise area.
"It's been a long time since I've been a cautious man in the Knights. Well, about as good as workout will be. If your arms are dull while cautious, you have no ex or child.
Arthur swallowed his mouth only once to the two who spoke plainly. And open your mouth again with a snack.
"What else is prudent...?
"No, I didn't. A grace from the royalty and the Knights.
"Well... then Captain Alan and Captain Column will be in the Knights again as Kingsguard knights after prudence..."
Arthur made his eyes shine like he contained a little expectation, and now Alan and Column were more dodgy.
I knew the other knights were worried about their advancement and retreat. Even during his stay in the kingdom of Chinensis after the annihilation war, he was once stuck with the merits of defending the life of his pride from many knights, and with or without punishment and no way out of office. But both Alan and Column have dared to talk about the question until now. Because there was no guarantee anywhere that I would definitely remain a knight more than I had decided to conform to judgment from Rosa, the queen, and Roderick, the chief of the knighthood.
And I didn't know Arthur even cared. The two were just a little surprised.
"Oh,... well.
"... I intend to.
Both Alan and the column know exactly how straight he is and how good his personality is. But still...
Arthur very dazzled us with a grin on our faces, and... stabbed us a little in the chest. Unaware of their state of mind like that, Arthur opened his mouth even further.
"Good…. Wow, I'm relieved. … should we not tell the other knights yet? … everyone, really about Captain Alan and Captain Column."
"Arthur."
The column lay on Arthur's words. Suddenly he was called, Arthur immediately tied his mouth and looked back at the two. The two captains and Arthur looked at each other sequentially, and
Alan and Column bowed their heads deeply.
Arthur can be horrible at being lowered from the two captains.
To the deputy captain's self, I now turned my eyes round without words as to why the two of them would bow their heads. For a moment, I also looked around wondering if there was someone behind me, not myself, but no one but myself.
"... I'm sorry.
"I'm sorry.
Alan, and to that short and weighty apology from the column, Arthur finally understood that it was directed at him.
"Around the corner, you and Master Stayle trusted me.... expectations, betrayed.
"I've discredited the Kingsguard knights that you kept protecting on your own.... has left corner opportunities undone.
Arthur rang his throat at at the two seniors who did not try to lift their deeply lowered heads. He himself heard about Pride injuries not only from Style and Pride, but also from many knights. That they temporarily had to leave beside their pride, that they did their best, … that Column and Alan tried to defend their pride by risking each other's lives and pain.
That's why.
"... oh... please don't...
As he squeezed out, Arthur let go of his words. He clenched his fists in both hands and moved his mouth to them desperately as he felt his heart beat from tension.
"That kind of thing,... please don't.... for me and the other knights,... Captain Alan and Captain Column... wow, admire it. Respect... look good. That still is, … nobody changes at all.
I wonder if I can tell both of you this mischievous preaching in my position, turning my head around. Still, Arthur overlaid his words to the two who kept bowing their heads.
"I really don't think Master Pride's injury would have been all that had it not been for you two. All the other knights talk like that... and nobody says anything bad about you two.... Everyone respected you both wholeheartedly and... was worried.
I could say that with certainty because I'm Arthur who spots the look on people's minds.
"... you two are Kingsguard knights, and it was really good. It was Captain Alan and Captain Column who followed Master Pride then, really.... Thank you.
Soft Arthur's words rode his voice and even his soft expression passed on to the two of them with their gaze down on the ground.
Neither Alan nor Column stiffened themselves, not expecting to be thanked for the apology on the contrary.
"Me, Style, Dear Pride, Tiara,... my trust in you two, all the knights, remains unchanged. Even now, you two are awesome and... reliable knights.
Alan accidentally swallowed the back of his throat caught on to gentle words that far exceeded expectations. Columns also hold their fists quietly to withstand what they scoop up.
"... so please don't bow your head or anything. You two have always been my... coveted knights.
Arthur, laughing in the light, said as soon as the two of them finally started to look up, "Keep it up!" I lowered my head to the two of them.
Passat and Arthur's bundled hair drooped from his neck together, shaking like a tail. Alan stroked Arthur's head, courteously lowered, to mess with his crookedness.
"Thank you," "Please do me a favor," Alan, thanked the column in turn, and Arthur hung on to his messy hair.
"Well, Arthur's going to work out with you now!
Making him laugh nicely as he regained his mind, Alan advanced his legs so that he could spin and pull his arms around Arthur's shoulder.
"Oh, no, I'm just here for a drink... oh, can you help me?"
"Alan, stay on track and don't get involved. It's late today. You're a good workout fool, but don't forget we're still on the Kingsguard tomorrow.
Arthur, Alan speaks out in dissatisfaction with the column's words that you can't do either. Arthur said, "No, I'm fine today!" I return, "but as soon as the column slapped me on the shoulder twice, the momentum also disappeared."... I'm off, "Alan said in a diminutive voice." Well, let's invite Eric to a meeting tomorrow too!, "he shakes his shoulder to comfort Arthur. Eric was absolutely at rest, the column returned, but Arthur's" must have won "shout more than that.
Shoulder to shoulder, and the three Kingsguard knights walk in line.
Looking up at the moon, thinking about tomorrow when we come together.
