"Would you mind telling us, His Royal Highness the Regent of Steyl?" The Knights... no. How did I, the Commander of the Knights, defy the orders of the royal family in the heart of the country? "
“A month ago, we ordered the destruction of the backbone castle, but the report says that many [protected persons] are protected apart from the backbone castle that was destroyed. Even from the size of the purified inner castle, it is difficult to imagine that so many were housed."
"No, most of them were protected." The victim had no place to eat, no support from the state, and could only survive by cooperating with the back office. ”
Until now, if it was the leader of the Knights, it was definitely all indicted or cleared.
Before the previous Knights Commander, there were reports that there was a good reason for their prosecution and there was room for explanation in light of their situation, and sometimes the Knights Commander and the Knights Commander themselves made inquiries. But all of it was easily crushed by the top.
If it is mouth, there are many positions and motives. For whatever reason, it was the Queen's idea that people who defied the country and violated the law were not necessary for Freesia. If you pardon the crime individually on the grounds of life, you will never get rid of the pollutants. It is impossible to claim that it is a "protected person" and escape without taking it to the castle.
“Three weeks ago, you seized the scene of the back trade on the upper level of the case and ordered us all to arrest or silence it.”
"As ordered, we seized the scene of the backstage transaction and arrested all collaborators to the castle." As for my daughter and my wife, they weren't here from the beginning. Before we stepped in, we saw him fleeing the country. Can you give me an order to pursue it? I can't guarantee that there will be no missing knights. "
Sure enough, we have captured all the main culprits and finished executing them publicly.
However, the man's guilt, which was so great that he could not be prosecuted, was serious. In particular, this crime was committed at the upper levels. It's a felony that must be eradicated, not just by himself, but by his family.
And yet, only my wife and daughter, who were supposed to live together, are still missing. Instead of missing it, the Knights reported that they hadn't been there from the start, and everyone was left to talk.
The pursuit order itself was not difficult. However, I didn't think I'd be able to catch the Knights after they deliberately let them go or missed them. On the contrary, more and more knights are missing out on missions in the castle these days.
It is not uncommon for a Freesian who has left the country to suffer unexpected misfortune during a mission in the Kingdom of Freesia, which is feared by the surrounding countries and has few allies. It doesn't matter if it's a knight on a mission. However, since Arthur became the Knight Commander, the number has increased.
"... exactly twenty days ago, I ordered the Knights to step up their patrols under the pretext of restoring honor, but there is no increase in the number or number of patrols." Is it true that you don't even perjure the report? ”
“No, it's simply not possible for the current Knights of the Kingdom to have enough to patrol the castle. There were knights going on expeditions all over the country, and it was very difficult to increase the number of patrols under the castle. As you know, we need personnel to prioritize appointments from the Castle and resolve them quickly. The knight is also a human, so I decided that not only practice and superimposed rest, but sleeping time is also taken away, and forcing patrols will not lead to results. Everything else that hasn't yet been executed under your orders is for the same reason."
It's your job as the Commander of the Knights to do something about it. Stills had just returned his words, but he could only bow his head deeply.
Even though it was said to be excellent, it was the young knight commander. Above all, the number of applicants is even smaller now than it used to be, contrary to the recruitment of knights.
That's why I ordered him to patrol as one of the performances to increase his support for the Knights from Steyl, but originally there was no one in the busy Knights who could spare time to patrol.
Clark and Kalam were able to provide excellent command and skill, but Arthur didn't even think about it in the first place.
Originally, at a time when the royal expectations could not be met, the Commander of the Knights became the responsibility of the Knights. However, in his case, only the visible [track record] is undoubtedly bad for us because we are doing it.
It would have been easier if I were most incompetent, but as the Commander of the Knights Regiment, I definitely led the Knights more than my predecessors, and as a result, the short-term achievement rate of the mission has increased. However, the result is more and more deformed to a shape different from that desired by the styles and upper layers. And Steyl couldn't help but feel uncomfortable with it.
"... then three days ago. With regard to the tax arrears and the treatment of the Count's family, who was conducting an anti-national gathering, I ordered that the family be cleared and that all participants in the gathering be prosecuted or narrowed down."
“You reported that when we stepped in, all the charges were cleared. The amount collected together with the tax arrears was submitted by me, the Commander of the Knights, so there is no doubt about it. It was a walk without roots or teeth about the rebellion. I did a lot of research, but it was just a dinner party with the people.”
Everything was wrong. The Earls were too busy collecting taxes from their neighbors. When it was reported, I couldn't convince the Knights that I couldn't even secure one of my necks.
And even though the Commander of the Knights commanded it himself, it was a sweet result. Rather than grasping the evidence, I think it has been rounded up neatly.
I'm not saying it would be good if I could collect the tax. The mere fact that he continued to ignore repeated requests from the state is now a great sin. Moreover, I was naturally frustrated that if I had the money to do it, such as a meal party, I would quickly dedicate the tax to the country. Even now, there are too many places where the queen hasn't collected all the money she wants.
On the surface, the Knights dealt with everything promptly. However, until now, if the Knights of the Kingdom who faithfully fulfilled the orders from the royal family suddenly reported all the results lacking in elaboration, it was natural for Steel to consider it as "rebellion".
Perhaps that's why the Knight Commander, who had just replaced me, was chewing. And most of all, the fact that Steyl is uncomfortable.
─Why don't you get what you want?
"...... Knight Commander, I'm counting on you."
Fu...... After a sigh that dared to make a thin sound, Steyl grabbed Arthur with both his pitch-black eyes.
Perhaps from the beginning, you have a sense of rebellion against the royalty, and you change your hand to him in a different direction. The facial expression remained unchanged, but the voice tone alone reduced the mechanical flatness until now. The regent, who slightly suppressed it and put his fingers on his elbows on the desk, spoke in a quiet tone to indicate that it was confidential.
\ "Expectations\" and the words that shook my heart, no matter what kind of opponent I was dealing with, the knight commander's eyebrows also reacted with a twitch. Stills, who was breathing during the change in expression, whispered, "This is the only thing I'm talking about."
"The former Commander of the Knights was definitely loyal to his orders, but he lacked leadership." At that time, I think you supported the Knights who unfortunately lost both of them. ”
I am also sincerely grateful. And while saying so, his eyes, which remained unchanged, glowed dullly until the knight commander's subtle facial expression changed.
Smiles are rarely shown in public, and social skills are a lack of style, but at the same time, they are quite good at mastering people's hearts and minds. I forgot how many of my superiors I've broken up and made it to the Blood Festival.
It wasn't worth remembering the name anymore, and instead of just taking over suddenly, I ran away from the castle without saying hello. I couldn't thank the former Knight Commander enough. Rather, I had a grudge against naming this man as the next Commander of the Knights.
I have no doubt that I have always been faithful to my orders. Every Knight Commander in the past was hesitant and immediately responded with a single word to the brutal orders that he had even offered his opinions. Aside from his ability, I think he was the easiest Knight Commander to handle. There was no need to try nostalgia.
"It was a shock to me at the time that the Knight Commander and the Deputy Commander were planning a revolt. It may have been before the decision, but unfortunately I was forced to hear the Queen and execute her before attempting to reconcile. Even though we were good knights and had high expectations, we were greatly discouraged, which could be said to have caused us to have less trust in knights from the country. It was really a tremendous talent. It still hurts in my chest."
I still think it was stupid and stupid.
Although he was definitely excellent, he did not understand the queen, despite being the Commander and Deputy Commander of the Knights. No matter how willing you are to rebel, you must not put it out in a way that can be seen by [prediction]. It has nothing to do with the location or the secret room. If you wanted to kill her, you should have done it on your own, without revealing it to anyone.
Unlike myself, he was easily dealt with by the knights while still being in a position to kill the queen without any trouble. Moreover, if you had allowed a revolution to involve the Knights like that, you and the Queen might have been solemnized as royalty until Tiara was innocent.
What did the Deputy Commander expect from the Knights Commander, and if the Knights Commander thought about himself or the Knights, he should have killed the Deputy Commander without hesitation.
That way, I could save myself by saying that I roasted a knight with the will to rebel. It was enough to replace the deputy commander. I was originally a smart man, but I wonder why I couldn't do it there. If I could just show it to the queen and kill the deputy commander, I might be able to catch the demon's mood, and then hunt the queen's neck to make it easier for me to get into my pocket. I would definitely have done so if I were myself.
However, whenever she received an order from the Queen to clear herself, she had other means of defending the subject of clearance. It was because of the knight's division that the queen smoked after repeatedly answering without sophistication. If it hadn't been for Prime Minister Gilbert, he would have been disposed of or executed sooner.
"The previous leader of the Knight Regiment dedicated himself to the country until the end, and he filled in the loss of the superior officer who died in the accident at the time of the deputy leader for a huge amount of time. Without him, the Knights wouldn't be here."
I thank him if I can't do my best. Yes, I expressed my gratitude by consciously suppressing my voice.
Regardless of the royalty's antipathy, it would be a different matter if they were to inquire about the Historical Knight Lords they respected who lived as knights. As a knight, I respect them and keep my eyes peeled for their footsteps. Steel already understood that it was a creature called the [Knight].
Whenever Column asked about the Knights that the Commander of the Knights of Clark had built up, it seemed like he was always hanging his head towards the royal family in the end. Clarke inquired about the loss of the Commander of the Roderick Knights, and was pursued by the royal decree during his lifetime in perfect form.
Knights are the most respectable and undefenable weakness of the ancestors.
"Clark... the Knight Commander. He was the most brilliant and honorable Knight Commander of all time. And now we need a Knight Commander like him. Like him, there are leaders who faithfully carry out the orders of our royalty, assemble the knights, and elevate the weakened Knights to a higher level. I think it would be possible if it weren't for you."
I twisted my brilliant head, and I managed to remember the name of the only knight in command.
The other Knight Lords were almost impatient, not even in their faces, but they were really looking for that brilliant Knight Lord.... not the Queen, but in order to protect the girl who is the only light for me.
I didn't care about the Knight's leadership. I even thought I would stand in the way of a knight trying to protect that demon. All the kingdom and all the people are good: but the only sister that loveth him in this world shall be preserved.
We must defend this castle until the day she marries abroad. I don't want her to be involved in the Knights' revolution just because I'm unhappy that she's drawn the same blood as the Queen. It didn't matter if the Knights were weakened or if their leadership collapsed or the revolution came to pass. It didn't matter if they disappeared with the rotten upper class or the nobility.
The Knights can't have revolutionary intentions just while she loves her. In any case, it was necessary to capture the Commander of the Knights and make sure that all the Knights were not willing to rebel. And for that reason, the Commander of the Knights, who is now in front of us, is also at his disposal.
I can't even remember Lord─Harrison's name, but Temae speaks the Knight's language.
"Thank you very much for your words, Regent Steyl." I'm sorry I couldn't live up to your expectations, like a former Commander of the Knights of Clark. I know that all the leaders of the Knights are great. ”
All the words of expectation from the royal family flowed on the spot as if they had received a typical sentence.
Arthur, who had just been engraved with the wrinkles between his eyebrows, guessed that his chest was shaking quite a bit, but it was just boiling inside him.
Arthur could not simply accept the Regent's words, which could only be repaired with an expressionless mask from the beginning to the end. No matter how much the Regent tried to talk about his dignity to the knight, his face was obviously not grief, anger, or reproach of conscience. All he could see was a repair that only hid cold emotions.
Despite the fact that they had been arranged and performed so far, Arthur, who had not resounded at all, opened his eyes slightly, and immediately narrowed them sharply.
Make up for the loss left by your predecessor, the Knight Commander and the Deputy Knight Commander who plotted the rebellion. Don't make any mistakes again, and try to execute your orders as adult as the good Knight Commander. After secretly ordering him to do so, I was convinced that his pride as a knight had not resounded at all.
The cold, pale gaze of someone who doesn't believe in himself at all is a testament to this.
"But as Commander of the Knights, I have a duty to protect my knights."
A month ago, I was summoned to take office as the Commander of the Knights Regiment, and I was summoned as I am today, face to face.
There was nothing to repair the regent's face, which commanded the destruction of the inner castle.
Carefully deciding whether it was really a back-running castle, he ordered the Knights to observe the enemy rather than instantly clear and move. As a result, it was reported that although some dyed their hands in the back business, they were all unaccompanied children who were threatened and forced to perform as limbs. They have no choice but to live.
Is there something that the Regent thought was annihilating? But knowing this fact, there is no doubt that he ordered their annihilation. Otherwise, I can't explain why I was deliberately putting on an uncomfortable expression at that time. I don't think the customer is unaware of it.
“We are not guards, we are not soldiers, we are knights who are proud of their way of life.”
Three weeks ago, the top part of the company had a back-end transaction.
At the time of his death, he was only told about the great sin and the secret trade, and he was given clearance without asking questions. It seemed like human trafficking, but if the box was empty, it was a way to escape from the country and the castle. It is now strictly forbidden to send an excellent Special Ability to the castle while hiding his abilities.
When the knight seized the spot, the operator's upper level admitted his sins and knelt down to be judged quietly. However, at the end of the day, my daughter and my wife were just ordinary people without any special abilities, and it was at least a pity from the Commander of the Knights that I heard from the Correspondent that I wanted them to live peacefully outside the country. The man in the upper level didn't want to fatten his own self, but just wanted to use the power of the upper level to get rid of the special abilities he was familiar with.
You can't choose whether you have special abilities or not. Arthur, who was born with a special ability that was useless to the knight, was also known to be painful.
And like this time, some knights left the Knights to defend the freed people to the end, and fled the country with the people on this occasion. "Let the family die," said Arthur, "for then they will be martyred, and they will come out of the castle to earn a living." "Because they have no face to fit in with the family," and Arthur continued to honor their will.
At least the knights who wanted to leave were those who had the same heart as the knights they admired and admired. Rather, I told the Knights in advance that the upper levels were just bad people, and my disbelief in Steyl, who ordered the deception and silence, only intensified.
To recover the─knight's honor? It would be a mistake to protect the royal family.
"We will serve our country and our people in our way."
Twenty days ago, she was ordered to patrol the castle, filling a hole in the harm caused by the Queen's deterioration of security.
Until now, the leader of the Knights had been trying to make it happen, but he would never give in. I decided to let the Knights' Commander keep the business orders so that they could be fulfilled if the Knights went around without sleeping. Sometimes, the Knight Commander himself took the initiative in appointing the Knights to carry out senseless killings and purges, such as former Knight Commander Harrison.
In essence, since Arthur became the Commander of the Knights and stopped the burden on the Knights under his authority and responsibility, his efficiency has increased for each mission.... the expectation of the late Knight Commander's appearance, and the intention that he should never be left alone like the Knight Commander.
With the exception of Harrison, whose whereabouts are unknown, less than a decade has passed since his father's unfortunate death.
"I apologize for any inconvenience compared to my predecessor, the Commander of the Knights Regiment." But let us swear that it is not an act against the knight's pride. ”
Three days ago, the Earls held a tax arrears and anti-national rally.
Tax delinquency was ultimately more than double the amount of tax paid ten years ago. Initially, it was only the junior nobility who lived modestly and managed the territory, but now it is not uncommon for even the upper class nobility who are invited to the ceremony to gasp for poverty.
I did control the scene, but when the Knights entered, there were only civilians in the Mansion who were unarmed. The information about the rally was true, but I don't see what they can do now. If the knights tried to convince the Count's family not to hurry up instead of temporarily helping with the tax arrears, they would finally win the contradiction.
Originally, there was still no concrete solution or means, only the intention to burn the Queen,... On the other hand, there was no one in the Knights who wanted to prosecute the nobility who was feeding the poor residents.
Until now, it was not unusual for Arthur to be investigated for such a small crime before becoming the Commander of the Knights, to be involved in the purge of the victims, and to be involved in the cleaning of innocent people. The Knights Corps' main unit knights had been through many years, and many had already been paralyzed....... Except for Arthur, who had never been ordered to go on such blood and gray field missions for any reason.
Only Arthur Beresford, the son of the leader of the ancestral knights, was allowed to stand on the edge of the knight's ideal without collapsing.
That's why only one of the knights, questioning the cruel order mission that they had all given up, turned the flag in the right way. That's what I was entrusted with.
Knights, please.
"Knight Commander Arthur, do you want to crush the Knights?" Repeat any further actions that are not in keeping with the Queen's life, and not only you, but the Knights as well, may be disposed of. I want to avoid that. "
"With all due respect, His Royal Highness the Regent of Steyl." Beyond that, convenience is fine. Don't worry, I'll obey your orders. For the sake of the people, for the sake of the country, for the sake of pride... it is our duty to continue to obey the orders of your royalty. "
Even if the Knights were to be questioned from the authority of the Regent, Arthur would not be able to make any sense of it.
The same as when he entered the room, the Knight Commander deeply thanked him with a wrinkled expression between his eyebrows. I didn't change my low-headed posture, but I still didn't give any sign of forgiveness.
Even though Arthur's expression didn't collapse, his inner emotions were still swirling. And when he had sprung up his tongue a little more, he sprung his tongue round in his mouth, and said, Really?
I think I might have been fooled if I could afford to change my facial expression skills and act more, but I'm not sure. The man in front of him was sure that he would never forgive his heart for how he tried to move as much as he could, while holding down the black edge of his glasses.
Not so much that it won't be fooled or swayed by the miniature craftsmanship. I think it was before Tiara's birthday that the troublesome man became the Knight Commander again.
"Isn't that enough of a story?" Now if you'll excuse me, I still have exercises and assignments to do. "
After the words, Arthur, who was only given one more word, did the courtesy.
Thus, when I entered the room, I put a warm word on my face, and I turned my back to the thinness of the man who said nothing but words to my heart.
Even though I talked like I was an ally, there was no change in the expression.
If you want to be in a good mood with us, it's normal to show a smile, but I don't know if the Regent who doesn't even do that really wants to be nostalgic for himself. In addition, despite my expressionlessness, I felt uncomfortable even being in my sight rather than looking at the sensation that all the repairing and repairing in the depths of my face was turbidifying the color.
Even though the expression didn't change, there was nothing deep down like a dark cloud. There are times when you hide something inside your facelessly, and there are times when you are empty without removing anything from your facelessly.
You're putting pressure and blame on yourself with that expression. I don't even know if he has a heart. What's even more creepy is that when you're holding it up without expressions, you can almost only feel it thin and dull. I don't know the bottom too well.
Whenever he stood next to the queen, he always saw the colour of the trimming without expression.
There were signs of hatred hidden in the cure, and I didn't know if it was against us or the queen. It was unusual for a human to have such a bottom of his stomach.
I don't know if what lies deep in the styles is good or evil.
I was expecting something from myself, but I was thinking about the Knights, and I put my words in line. However, Harrison's words and Clark's way of life can only make him uncomfortable.
Harrison was the honorable Knight Commander, who was tough enough to defend the Knights, and Clarke, on the contrary, didn't look after himself for all the restoration of the Knights. I owe it to Clark, but I still wish I hadn't quit my knight instead of trying to do something like that.
I don't even know what kind of person he was when he got rid of the Knight Commander and his deputy. He was a new recruit at the time. However, I could understand how much I admired the two of them and how painful it was to see the lamentations of the knights around me.
Above all, Arthur knew that it was not that the two rebels were the top two of the Knights, but that Arthur was responsible for the royalty who had ordered the Knights to be disobedient.
I don't think that the Knights continued to nod to the orders, but I think that the people became frightened when they saw the knights because of their mission content. There have been too many orders not to see people as people in this month. It felt like I was lining up with chess pieces.
Even though it's the Queen's brother-in-law, I don't know how I can thoroughly pump it to the Queen.
Arthur, who has been exposed to the expression of repairs from childhood until now, can understand the difference even if he doesn't like them, but he doesn't see through the other person's heart. Even I don't want to understand the thoughts and thoughts of the Regent, the Queen's one-armed regent.
I still think he's a creepy guy.
Arthur opened the door of the room by himself while muttering in his thoughts so that he would never utter words even if he spoke to himself.
Also, Stale closed his mouth as he squinted at the Knight Commander's back. "I pray that the execution of the Commander of the Knights will not happen again," he said disgustingly, but if you do that, you will know the bottom of your stomach.
I didn't want to remove any of the elements that the Knight Commander thought he was the Knight side.
Understanding that any further nostalgia is a waste of time, he exhales without making a sound. Anyway, I think it's only a matter of time before I see the Queen and execute the Commander of the Knights.
If you give me an assassination order, I will kill you, but I don't know if I'm going to be an enemy of a knight called a young genius. After the deputy commander also took the back, several guards finally managed to hold it down. I'm used to assassinating people on the move, but I don't know how much it works against knights.
I was wondering if I should poison them anyway. Just as his head began to turn in the direction of killing him, the doors of Bhattan and the Commander of the Knights were closed after he left the room.
"...... it's a difficult man to use"
Tsk tsk tsk tsk.
If you can at least nostalgia for why it doesn't work as you think, you can operate it from the inside, but there is no gap. The only man who never stopped looking at himself with mistrust was the Queen's next most intrusive enemy.
I'm so pissed that he's been invited to the upcoming Tiara Birthday Festival as a Knight Commander.
……
"Ahh"
Gachari, and at the same time the two voices joined together.
After a few seconds of stiff silence, Arthur was the first to move.
He shouted, "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Sail, who looked back with his round eyes, looked him in the face and understood that it wasn't his fault.
It's been a long time. On the rare occasion that each other's rest periods overlapped, both of them visited the First Prince's auditorium. Now that Steyl is busy, there are not many people who practice and play matches as in the past. Even so, they were still fighting with each other.
Repeat with one, two, three, and now with the fourth. Before we can take a breath from each other, we are going to open up a moment.
What was done was good in itself, but in an instant, he changed his complexion and fumbled with his partner. Stills also lowered his sword with a mischievous mind. Fu, holding down the black edge of the glasses in front of the statement with a disgusting smile.
Noo! Arthur, who was really sorry, scratched his sweat and fluttered, had his sword on his waist before Sail. I emptied my hands and showed my palms, but I still didn't get sweaty.
No, that was a reflection of...
"It's the first time I've ever been hit by a gun."
The first cry of the day echoed in the auditorium.
Usually, even if it was a match, they would only do it with a sword and bare hands. Not only the knight Arthur, but also the steil. However, unlike swords and bare hands, guns can lead to serious injuries if hit once. Before they even set the rules first, the two of them had never taken out a gun in hand. However, in this close quarters battle, Arthur accidentally struck each other with a gun that was always in his pocket.
As a knight, I always carried a sword with me, but I had never used it in a Sail match. However, this time, I had a momentary gap in the stele that jumped into my pocket and pushed the muzzle into my temple.
Of course, I didn't mean to shoot him in the head, but Arthur, who had just returned to me, is still bleeding.
"Recently, I've had more contact with Mr. Harrison..."
"Don't worry about it. I don't feel bad if that's all you're serious about."
Fufu, enjoying Arthur's panicked flutter, dares to rub his temples against the muzzle and laughs badly.
Arthur was always serious about his matchmaking with Stale, but his reflexive attacks had also increased since he started to regularly engage with Harrison in place of the ambush. I used to put a muzzle on Harrison, who had been ambushed.
Moreover, since Arthur was able to shoot down the bullet, Harrison was now able to shoot the bullet without hesitation. Even though Arthur didn't shoot at Arthur, he was more likely to hold a gun.
Stills jumped into his pocket in an instant, making Harrison's fast legs illusory.
As a result, the first prince, who had no gun, was reflexively pointing his muzzle at the opponent. It was fine because there were only two of us here now, but otherwise I definitely didn't apologize.
"Next time, please do it while your sisters are watching." I want to see the reaction. "
"Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"
I raised my mockery voice, and when I pulled out my sword again, Arthur blew out the stele small and stood up as well.
All right, come on. Arthur bends his four fingertips and invites Steyl to kick the ground with a slap from the top of his uniform to seal off his pocket gun.
I'm glad to hear it. Before Tiara's birthday, the wind chambers are no good.
I'm sorry about that, but...
Hate, tease, laugh, wield your sword seriously.
There was a figure that was no different from five years ago.
