The Most Heretical Last Boss Queen Who Will Become the Source of Tragedy Will Devote Herself for the Sake of the People
448. The Knights Commander shall stand.
"... what do you think?
Knights Exercise Grounds.
Clark, the deputy captain, spoke to me as I went around checking the status of the knights' exercises. It was after the shooting stadium report and I finished checking on the simulation training of my bare hands.
"Is that the status of the exercise? Then my concentration is still disturbed today.... Many people are not feeling well.
"That too, but... that's the cause of it too.
Tilting his neck lightly to my words, Clark has asked, lurking his voice at the end.
We don't see each other's faces, but we can generally predict what they look like with that voice color alone. "Master Pride," he asked briefly, and a slightly exhaling sound reached his ear. The knights wave their fists with their paired opponents in their sight, sometimes aiming at one another while using their footsteps. But I didn't even see the usual kind of hegemony, and some of them unleashed a hegemony that I didn't think was training to pay the other way around the clutter.
Since Lord Pride's fall, the knights are still at this pace even after the vigilance has been somewhat lifted and some of them have been able to exercise in this way.
Dear Tiara, Birthday Festival.
So Master Pride suddenly fell, and shortly after the news came in that he had been awakened the next day, a decree was now issued. Then once, Master Pride said he wouldn't show up from outside the palace.
Furthermore, three days ago, a sudden suspension of the Kingsguard knight. It was nominally caused by Master Pride's malaise, but... the clouds are very suspicious.
Neither will the Kingsguard knights be allowed to open their mouths by the Queen. It settled down as if I had already known when I ordered the pause, and everyone was responding in a nutshell.
So much to make you wonder if being awakened was a false alarm in itself, then the current situation of Master Pride was unknown. A knighthood full of admirers of pride, and there was no way that it could lead to slight malaise. The Kingsguard knights, who will know the circumstances, only hold themselves tight, but even the atmosphere surrounding that look is dangerous for everyone. Arthur in particular finished the exercise and the change was obvious as soon as the concentration ran out.... but I can't help it.
The knights, who knew nothing, were disturbed, and guided themselves to Lord Pride, and some of them spoke of anxiety that they had not yet awakened. At the time, even the knights, who were on the spot as escorts when Lord Pride was awakened, leaned down and darkened whenever they heard the topic.
What the hell happened to Master Pride?... we have nothing to know right now.
"... from a certain muscle, it's just a rumor...................... you wanna hear it?
For the first time, I turn to Clark, who lurks his voice unchanged.
It was the expression that hadn't changed much so that the other knights wouldn't notice, but its eyes were serious themselves.
A certain muscle, I guess that's actually pretty definite information. But where the hell did you hear about it now that there is little information even within the Knights? It is also unusual for Clark to actively explore rumors and information on his own. Though I don't think there are many people in the Knights who easily crack their mouths.... Clark glanced lightly at me with his eyes only to ask. "I wasn't being fooled. I'm not talking to anyone but me," I said to Clark, saying no, "I close my eyes once and then exhale. What, Clark whispered in his lurking voice again if I briefly urged him. Only move your mouth as you watch each other's exercises.
"Master Pride seems to have gone crazy since he woke up.
Weird......? I just raise my eyebrows and wait for it to continue as I almost turn my face unexpectedly.
At the end of his gaze, of the knights, a few groups put their backs on the ground with victories and losses. Restore the erection while standing up with a hand from the winner.
"Whatever, he behaved as a bystander... he said he was badly hit by Prince Leon, the royalty of the Hanazoo Union, and even Dear Tiara, who was here to pay a visit.... as if people had changed.
I can ask Clark's lowered voice how serious it is.
I don't turn my face unchanged, and with my arms around me, I remember those words a decade or so ago. Indeed, at a young age, Master Pride was also behaving impatiently at the time. From what I've heard, I can't imagine from the Pride so far, but... I could easily imagine from the Pride of the time.
It makes me wonder if I got back ten years ago or if I even had amnesia. But I doubt the royal family will keep Lord Pride so far to the extent that my behavior has increased somewhat. If you are only a castle person, it is certainly not a problem if you think that you behave disrespectfully towards the royalty of another country. But that has to do with the suspension of the Kingsguard knight......
Clark wraps up the words "I don't know any more than that, either," to me conceiving. I wouldn't dare ask where Clark's sources came from, but even considering that Clark had that far to go to find out too, he still seems to be thorough with his secrets.
"... it's like ten years ago just to ask.
Did you even read it in my head? Or did you get to the same idea, and I answered that word briefly, too.
Since then,... I can't even believe it's been ten years since Tiara's birthday, when Lord Pride first showed her splendid appearance. I saw how pride behaved at the time in ceremonies and so on, but now both me and Clark were more colorful and memorable in the subsequent decade of pride.
"From here on out it's only my prediction...
Clark, telling me with a calm voice, continued his words with slight hesitation.
Do not block the words and wait silently to hear them. Another knight plays union, prevents fists and pays his feet. It's the most joint squad and fourth squad right now, but the different ways you fight it, the better it is.
"If Master Pride is turned to be right and can't show it to public. The upper layers will continue to hide. … whenever possible.
So that's the secret and the dictation?... Then I can be a little convinced that even the Kingsguard knight was suspended.
I was distracted from knowing as deeply as possible so that no one would know the change of Dear Pride. I can't imagine how much change, but it could well be more than a decade ago if it was enough to keep it secret.
... Dear Pride, change. If that's enough to be called leopard weird, you can't even be known as the next queen. On top of that, even though Lord Pride was almost weathered, my behavior ten years ago was also famous under the castle. There is also the possibility of a tide of return ten years ago, the appearance of nature, etc. Even though they blossomed their predictive abilities, if, for example, the leopard has changed and their personality has been distorted, there is also ample chance that those who question the next queen will appear. In fact, ten years ago, there were already many voices of doubt about the eight-year-old Pride.... including me and Clark.
Even though he is royal, he is also a parent of a person. If my daughter's leopard is weird, she'll also want to hide it as long as possible until it gets back to normal.......... undone, until we get back.
That's all I've thought about, and I dismiss the thought after a moment. Closed his eyes tightly and wrinkled between his eyebrows, Clark hung the words "I wonder which one".... have they read it again?
Dear Pride, the change was sudden for me and Clark at the time. She behaved as a good princess at Dear Tiara's sixth birthday festival. Originally, I only saw you at the ceremony, but it was still too sudden. Blossoms of predictive abilities, the presence of Tiara-like, establishment as the first heir to the throne, and my brother-in-law, Lady Style...... are some of the triggers for a change of heart.
But the Pride of the time and the Pride of the past. I don't know the "middle" of that change.
... No, it's still impossible.
Are you telling me that the upper management has now pulled out ten years ago and the nature of Lord Pride has come out? Although I don't even want to think that the upper echelons and royalty of our country have come to such a ridiculous conclusion.
Lord Pride's character is understood by me, Clark and the knights alike. Um, the act is not something you can do for acting, appearance, etc.
"He is my people."
If my nature had stayed that way seven years ago, … I don't think I would have tried to help me even if I broke my own peril or royal rules. Rather, it is the right decision as a royalty to wait in the operations conference room without holding hands like that.
If it is true that the pride of the moment has also been leopard weird, we should assume that there are other factors as only "abnormal" rather than "returned". It is natural to think so, also because of the abnormality of the sudden fall.
You think the doctor threw you a spoon without doing anything? I guess Arthur's inability to touch it doesn't mean he's sick...
"At least to me, … the pride of the last decade is the real deal.
Speaking that out with the exhaling breath, Clark returned his consent in a quiet voice saying, "... right.
When I put my hand on my shoulder as it was, I said, "It's time to turn the exercises of each squad," and once I went to the other squad's place of practice. I also return the word and order the knights on the spot to clean up and prepare to travel to the next exercise site.
Check the reports about each squad and recruit in your hand, and if you look around, the overall morale is still not high. Don't get distracted, keep your eyes on Alan, the most powerful squad who speaks out more than anyone else as you raise your voice to focus on what's in front of you, and Eric, who flies command to the next move. They both look much better now than they did three days ago. I guess some places are already more concerned about something than the knights who know nothing about the circumstances. The third squad column, and Arthur back from the day off yesterday, looked the same.... Should I also ask my wife how she is at home the next time I get home?
Only Harrison, who has only recently become a Kingsguard knight, has not changed so much that it is good to say how things are, but perhaps the shock of the knights who saw the leopard weird of Lord Pride in front of us was enormous. If I remember correctly, everyone has never seen Lord Pride in person until ten years ago. Then it must have been like a pride I've never seen before. You may be fortunate you didn't have to reminisce of ten years ago, but...... it still doesn't make a difference that it's a shock.
"You don't understand the value either, Knights Commander."
……
If it is as Clark sees it, how can we return to our original pride?... It's not understandable to me that I'm not a doctor or expert.
'I affirm whoever in this world denies you. You can be a fine knight like your father. "
Where did that man's heart, who saved me from my predicament and Arthur's heart,... go? If it is to remain undone, it will be nothing short of a great loss for our country.
For the last ten years. Lord Pride confronts the people, sometimes making mistakes, rambling, deviating, getting up...
"Please help me."
Little by little.
Really little by little, but grown. Even the way you conceived self-abandonment, in exchange for a lot of experience and pain.
'For your own sake,... someone gets caught in a dying situation...... It's so hard.'
Learned, understood, and recalled.
He was equipped with the readiness and mindset necessary to unify the country and become queen.
If that one has changed badly, not to say ten years ago.... As far as I'm concerned, I'm not talking about pain. Me and the knights weren't the only ones who were eager for Queen Crown Day to see Lord Pride grow.
Tiara's Birthday Dance Party. I don't want that to be my last memory with Master Pride. Mostly, at that time.
'Uh... that's.............................. oh?
─ ─ ─
... What was that now?
Second, I stop thinking and desperately hand over what was on my head and think back.
Sure, it's time to dance with Master Pride. Master Pride took me, and Master Tiara took Clark's hand, when I chose to dance with him.
We danced together and I also felt serene in the way Master Pride seemed to enjoy growing up. That little girl was what made her splendid, and that was what held her back from emotion.... Yes, that's when.
I asked Lord Pride, fearful and often, if I could ask you sincerity without having to worry about being heard now, even as I danced.
Arthur has been chosen as your fiancée candidate, sincerely.
Although I am very much aware that it is not something we ask you in this context. "I'm surprised they chose Arthur," he told him first, saying no. Master Pride answered the question with a bitter laugh at first.
'Sorry for all the inconvenience.
'No, in that case.... I just wondered why Arthur would be here if he was an aristocrat.... I, Arthur, never deserve royalty and am not a family member.
'! That's not true. The Knights Commander is our pride in protecting our country. Because Arthur is also a fine knight that everyone acknowledges.
'... Dear Pride. So you really think of Arthur as one of the candidates...?
I immediately realized it was an overstepped inquiry.
But I myself had not yet fully organized my mind that Arthur had been chosen as Lord Pride's fiancée candidate. Arthur and I were actually convinced if we were told that we were already in love, or a few pairs because one fiancée candidate in the column was our destiny.... but Lord Pride...
'Uh... that's.............................. oh?
Once I blushed a little to panic, my chest slipped away, but... my face was stiffened as soon as I thought the redness had caught on.
It was a reaction as if my head had played, as if I had instantly forgotten what I was just talking about. Shortly after that they even gave me a troubled grin that I was really "sorry, what were we talking about".
Sometimes it was after I became aware of an overstepped question, too, and I didn't hear it the second time and then concentrated on dancing. Master Pride also enjoyed the dance as if he had really forgotten. What the hell was that now that I think about it?
From time to time, does anyone react like that to a knight? As soon as it was pointed out that, after experiencing a tragic battlefield, one should not "remember" that defensive instincts worked and thought and brain work themselves were blocked. But... why did Lord Pride react like that in that conversation?
Did something happen to your relationship with Arthur, or no. There was no change in Arthur's condition at the time. Then what did Lord Pride refuse to remember then?
You can't talk to Clark or anyone else about anything else, including a potential fiancée. But it catches me oddly.
Besides, now Master Pride is not talking about a potential fiancée either. Ning Ro, even that story could still be put on hold or broken. That's all I think about,... I think.
Do I, … want it to be a breakthrough? Or do you want it to come true?
The important thing is... their will. It is not something I should intervene in. Now, Master Pride, I don't even know what Arthur feels like.
But whatever their feelings may be, if Arthur is engaged to Lord Pride.... inevitably, Arthur will resign his knight. That's what being tied to the next queen means. My duties as a king and his wife are not such that I can do it in one effort, and... I am not good enough to be like giving up my life on the battlefield. The royal prince, who became a knight and made his name known, also said he had been there in the past. But naturally not a single person has existed in the past, such as one who is a knight and a king. And Arthur, too,... will be.
About a year ago, I told Arthur to try and take my seat... I have something hard to be honest with.
The King's Mate is a wonderful being, and if elected, it is an honor. But I was not born otherwise aristocratic, but rather proud of my way of life as a knight. I could not be cheaply pleased.
……… ... Now is not the time to think about it.
With a long sigh, he exhales and shakes away his clutter.
Above all, we should now guide you first and foremost to your pride and your will. Above all, it's even hard to be wanted as the next queen if Lord Pride is as Clark talks about today.
Lord Pride deserves to be queen and unify his country. Whatever events and itineraries may occur in the process, I will only hold on to it as a knight.
such as being able to achieve a satisfactory end to all the happiness of those without a
Unless it's a miracle, yes... because he won't be there.
