... Why is this happening...?

Keep going through your thoughts, repeating your greetings.

No matter how many times I think about it from a week ago, no matter how many times I try to get to the same conclusion… I really think about it again.

"No, I didn't know you were here on Lord Bordeaux's behalf.... How about Sir Bordeaux's addition and subtraction?

Peek into one of the Counts' houses. Yeah, I managed to return the words, but I got a sweat on my forehead.... additions and nothing, even though I've been so excited for a week now that both my brother and I are in trouble.

My father and mother are proud of themselves as Counts.

This story was naturally hopeless for my father and mother, who had been entrusted with the countenance of a little off the castle.

My father and brother were the first to be informed about this fiancée candidate. The queen was summoned immediately to the royal palace, where she was briefed and her father responded instantly on the spot.... without any consultation with me. No, even if there was a consultation, there's no way the Counts would turn down a proposal from the royal family. But my father, who went straight back to my mansion, immediately put out his use and called me in. corner, took care not to be noticed outside, so much so as to attribute the Queen's care to blisters.

At first, my father was ill. I hurried home when he told me that my mother was in critical condition, but... when I returned, the mansion was filled with joy, and only my brother had his head.

'Sorry, column... I really just wanted to leave you alone.

My brother was a brilliant and serious man.

He has also lived up to his expectations as the eldest son of the Count family and has turned the house around without any problems. He's a good brother who also supported me when I told him I wanted to be a knight.

My brother was like me, and originally he was less interested in clinging to the name of the royal family and the house, so he bothered his head like the joy of his father and mother. The truth is that it was also my brother who took into account that he had forgiven my father for trying to pick me up directly from Wangju and at least for a reason when he returned to the Mansion.

My brother sneaked me to my room before my father to talk to me calmly and explained.

Master Pride told me that I had been nominated as a fiancée candidate.

Honestly, there was also a large part that convinced me of the mysterious oddities of my father and mother, who were usually strict and quiet. Nomination from the royal family and even a candidate for king. As a nobleman, you are a nobleman. This fact alone was like being given considerable honor even if he could not be king's mate. But...

Dear Pride, nomination.

I'm one of only three fiancée candidates in this world.

... My head boiled and I was relieved for nearly an hour. And then my brother said.

The more I thought about the honor of being chosen by that one, and the fact that Master Pride, and what that meant, the less I could turn my head.

Of course, I know. The reason that he chose me is largely speculative. But still, I couldn't help but feel ashamed and… the fever didn't stop with a hint of joy.

'So, what... column. Actually, my father...

My brother talked to me like it was hard to say since an hour later I was finally able to talk to him.

The royal family wanted me to join them as the best knight ever at the ceremony ahead.... naturally, otherwise there's no point in keeping it secret.

But it seems my father turned it down himself. As Lord Bordeaux, whether it's a secret or not, I'd like you to dress accordingly if I were to meet you as a fiancée candidate.... as a result, it took the form of me entering the frame of Sir Bordeaux, where my father and brother had previously participated.

At the very least, my brother pressed my father and mother not to leave the house because he was ill for a while, and he told my father and mother to strictly observe this.

He would have left it to the intention of each house to tell him or her after he had told the house from the royal family, but he also had to tell me more than my father and mother had become like this.... Though I sincerely wanted my brother to know anyway.

You can argue that you have just radically changed my policy of serving as Lord Bordeaux's lord, even if not for reasons such as ill health. Why don't you quit being a knight or something and still be my brother's assistant? He definitely wanted to spread this as a pride in our home… he tried to say a word from me to my father and mother who couldn't get their heads cooled by the sudden sunlight, but before that, my brother said, "Please don't!" He came forward.

"You're the ones who poked so hard at the knighthood of the column! I don't want you to ruin the life of the column any more. I will not make any further concessions to neither me nor the column, if this fact spreads outside or if the column ever loses its position as a knight without wanting it, neither I nor the column will cut off from this house. The Bordeaux will be ready to interrupt in your place."

... Really, my brother has been taking care of me for a long time.

I was originally invited to the same place as my father and brother in public as a knight, but I was told not to put forward that I was weirdly inside at that time. It was also my brother who told my father that.

How many times have I wanted to be someone like my brother, too?

My father and mother finally got a little fever in my brother's words, and he stopped me in view of the fear that if I were known as a fiancée candidate I could plan an assassination or something.

I managed to attend in the form of my father's representation and sometimes my busy brother's representation about the house. I apologized to my brother for depriving him of the opportunity to go to public places, but with regard to that, he said, "Honestly, it's rather helpful. It calms me down better to have you instead of my father, and... because I don't really like talking places either," he said.

And I told the Knights Commander to help me with the house, and I filed a vacation application. My vacation is reduced, but I wish I could hide it from the knights...

The next day, my immediate boss, the Knights Commander, was called.

I had a bad feeling about it, but I guessed everything about the Knights Commander who was back. Apparently, the Queen was briefed immediately on my "vacation" to the Knights Commander. As a result, my vacation was converted into a special vacation. On second thought, there was no reason why the royal family would not take into account me, even if I were a candidate for king. If my father hadn't done something extra, he would have never bothered the royal family or the Knights so far.

Surrogate attendance on behalf of my ill father and busy brother only apparently. … However, the Knights Commander himself was asked to explain to Alan, Eric and Arthur, who would be directly blamed for the question about me. I don't think I can help being known about them either.... although I was struck by the shame of death. Especially Alan, I was extra embarrassed that things went as he said they did.

"Captain Column...

Lord Pride noticed me and called me.

Unlike previous Knight outfits, seeing you in this courtesy is the only thing that raises your physical fever.

Because of the eyes of other guests, my father told me on his behalf that I was ill, and Lord Pride said something and he poured his gaze on me. I already said that my heart is not going to keep just that look in my eyes.

"Um... Captain Column,... maybe... because of me...?

Lord Pride's face lit up anxiously shaking his eyes at the top of his head. Asked with a voice lurking so that only I could hear it, … I also manage to return the words while they are jammed.

"No, it's my father's strong intention...... Rather, we have put a lot of trouble into the royalty.

Really, even my father said that nothing would have changed if he hadn't told me everything I could have attended as a knight. Because my parents are such people, on the contrary, neither my brother nor I have any interest in the family or royalty.

Lord Pride opened his eyes with certainty to my words, diving his voice to panic and overlapping his words.

"Oh, I'm sorry... I didn't mean to bother Captain Column so much..."

"Yes, no! Not at all.... I also appreciate you doing as you normally do during your Kingsguard Knight assignment. Besides, apparently, I am supposed to represent my ill father...

Unfortunately, most of the Knights could have guessed it.... I can't even say that, I'll give it back with a grin but Master Pride's lights still don't cool down. "Ahhh... ahhh... that, this is here about this one...!" and tell Master Pride, who can swim his gaze, from me, "Oh, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know." Master Pride lowered his red face towards me with his mouth wide open and his heart bounced again.

I check my surrounding eyes and release words as I dive deeper into my voice and whisper to Lord Pride.

"... as you wish, I don't care how much you put on hold. Originally, I hadn't thought about marriage since I was aiming for a knight. Until Lord Pride decides what to do, I will lend you as much as you like in my name.

Lord Pride, whose eyes were wide open to my words, tied his lips strong and stared at me without blinking.

Yeah, I know exactly what I'm talking about. I am not complacent that Lord Pride is pointing more at me than he likes me.

Perhaps when deciding on three fiancée candidates for this one. I guess Lord Pride already has a mind to decide.

That's why it's easy for them to talk about the situation. Even if for a period of two to more years, the person has no problem without the romance progressing and not reaching marriage. They chose someone they could trust. … of course, the fact that they were chosen by those three, even if they were not chosen as fiancées at the end, is not an honor.

If Lord Pride intends to select three candidates, there is no way that a second son of the Count family like me will be chosen.

Lord Pride said to my words, "Ah... thank you, thank you..." and when I was pounded, I leaned down my reddish face small as it was. My heart finally settled on the word Lord Pride can take,...... my chest hurt just a little. After all, Master Pride will have a better mind to decide.

I and Master Pride greeted each other for the last time, having cut off the conversation there within a short period of time, after the occasion.

I have no hesitation in devoting my name if in any way I can preserve the happiness and peace of Lord Pride. Ning Ro, I am delighted that you chose this me as your trustworthy opponent who couldn't protect you in a defensive battle, and that only makes my chest hot. It's just...

"Sir Bordeaux, you were very picturesque with Lord Pride earlier.

"By the way, Lord Colum, be close to Her Royal Highness the First Princess of Pride...?

"Who is the captain of the Knights and the best knight, and even Sir Bordeaux? You will be happy to be my wife.

It's just that even if you see me as someone next to Lord Pride, you see those eyes and those words.

Every time I took it again and again, my whole body was stirred up, desperate to contain my face from getting hot.

No matter how many times I try to jump with my father's surrogate, I can't stop wondering from them. When it suited me, it was the thought of fire coming out of my face even when I knew it was a compliment every time they said it was amicable.

Besides,...... honestly, I'm so embarrassed that I seem to be stuck out and stylish by myself.

Though I have never been raised by a tough father and mother before and resented my parents, whether they were opposed to becoming knights or poked at the terms.

Only at this time did I... even really want to resent my watchful father.
