The Most Heretical Last Boss Queen Who Will Become the Source of Tragedy Will Devote Herself for the Sake of the People
"Five Tales of Comicalization Update and Appreciation" The Chief Knight refrains.
"On the birthday of Her Royal Highness Princess Tiara II, am I...?
Knight Commander's Office.
Called after the decree after the exercise, I hear back the words of the Knights Commander. I thought about a number of possibilities as to what the hell the call was, but this was unexpected.
I never imagined that I would be invited, not even a year after I had been knighted by the main unit, to a place that was also the first show of the second princess of my country, who was revealed to exist.
I would ask, "Why me?" when I should have given it back in a word of consent. Besides, the Knights captain was slowly opened with his mouth hanging from his chair.
"Her Royal Highness Princess Tiara's birthday is next week. Sure, Logan would have been here this year, but Team Five is on an expedition, as you know."
The very existence of Princess Tiara II, it was only recently made public. Captain Logan was named the best knight captain of the year. It is impossible for that man, who belongs to the Fifth Squad, who was already on the expedition, to attend. Via the correspondents, only the information has been passed on to Squad Five, but attendance is not mandatory until the mission is abandoned. And Captain Logan must have prioritized the mission himself.
"But wouldn't that have the next knight captain, not me? For example, he was the best knight captain last year. Captain Curtis..."
"This is also a hope from His Majesty, Column."
The vice president, gently painted with my words, leaves a step forward there.
If I turned my gaze to the Deputy Commander, who was sitting next to the Knights Commander, he looked at me with a soft grin.
"His Majesty and His Royal Highness the King definitely wanted you, who decided to join the chief army young in this year's enlistment exam. I'm looking forward to your future nomination."
"... I understand. Thank you."
I only heard voices so pale that I could shudder myself.
He said it was an honor. Yes, the vice president would also like to be told, but I really can't even feel the shard of joy. But if it's royalty's immediate desire, you can't even say no. I will accept this as my role as the chief enlisted.
Thank you for your kindness on the day, and I was also allowed to leave the room if I bowed my head to the Knights Commander and Deputy Commander. Say hello, go outside, then turn around, thank you again, then close the door. I breathed quietly and deeply after the Knights Commander and Deputy Commander's appearance was completely blocked.... Again, I'm really nervous before the Knights Commander and Deputy Commander. The boulders are those who stand at the top of the Knights of the Kingdom. I can feel majesty and hegemony on my skin just one step closer.
"Oh, the column! Have you finished talking to the Knights Commander yet?
While I was breathing so well, a voice without shards of tension hung from behind me.... really is he.
He stretches his shoulders slightly round with his exhaled breath against him, paying his forehead with his fingertips. I looked back at him with a wrinkle leaning between my brows before I looked back.
"Alan, why are you here?"
This year, … should it be precisely the current year? If I turned to Alan, who became the main squad knight at the same time as me, he would have walked over with a flickering and easygoing wave.
The team you belong to is the one that is different, but there is no big difference in the content of the exercise. Nonetheless, he was so dirty that he mistakenly saw the white uniform as gray. The cheeks and nose head are still there after wiping the soil. When it comes to what is spoiled, it doesn't mean that this is neglecting your daily taste, it's the result of your dirty day.
Gently returning "just wanted to pass" to my inquiry, he is already familiar with the surroundings among the main squad knights. I also try to interact with them as much as possible, but I still don't get as flexible as he does.
"I'm going to work out. If you're free with the column, why don't you go with it?
"Let's hang out, to some extent. But if I stop, you get some rest, too. You'll also need time to wash your clothes."
Clothes are regularly wrapped up by castle samurai or recruits are sometimes entrusted if necessary, but it's about Alan who dirties his team clothes so far every time.
Even though it has not been a year since I became a main unit knight, it is also bad to leave it to the recruits only myself every day, so I wash myself every time and use it around with a spare. Think of a way not to get dirty, or maybe three more clothes to pay for. Even though the uniform doesn't turn into a supply, he says, "I'm doing something about it so far!" and don't try to do that at all.
Drinks or workouts. What he does basically stays the same every night. I've been with him in his workouts a few times, too, but honestly there's no end to it enough to remember fear.
It's not uncommon for a squad knight to do self-exercises and workouts even after the exercise, but Alan thinks it's too extreme. I know if it's a simple sniping exercise, horseback riding training, etc., but in his case, if he has an opponent, win or lose, he keeps working together without rest until the opponent raises his roots, and if he's alone, he keeps even repeating his basic workouts.
It was only at the beginning that I also worked competitive to suit him, but at the worst it stayed in the morning. "No, you're not when you have someone!" and laughed vividly and ran straight to the early morning exercise, his appearance burning in his eyes. I've been embarrassed that I'm going to break my body one day after all that, but... I've never seen him tired at all saying it's going to be a year.
On top of that, he works out as long as he has free time between exercises and rest time for everyone to rest. In some cases, only one person worked out one hassle while talking within his peers. It's a complete workout idiot. Sometimes I wonder when the hell he's resting too.
"Okay! Then we're free. Let's go to the exercise hall. I knew you were a good friend."
I don't want you to tell me.
Drinks are held in several places every day within the Knights. Alan is undoubtedly the most attending that drinking party.
I even think I envy his adaptability to jump into people's waves, whether they're seniors, bosses, or superiors. Even now that I'm about to be a year old, it's not like me to even be put in a step by a senior knight in sync.... In my case, I deserved it in my first enlistment exam. Rather, the knights are truly nostalgic for not being seen with white eyes or made unholy by it.
But thanks to you, I am still famous within the Knights. I was prepared to think to some extent that it originally meant nobility, but if that's all, it's not unusual to be a knight. Many are about to leave their knights regularly in aristocratic houses.
It wasn't that easy in my case. My parents have long opposed me, poked me through the terms, and managed to be this way a knight for the fulfilment of my petition, but... it was also possible to do so.
"Yeah, hey, what was the story from the Knights Commander?
His, thanks to you.
I am here as a knight, thanks to Alan, if I admit clearly that I am angry and itchy. I also think that he should have been given the right to attend this birthday if it had been the case.
He doesn't hang it on his nose, he doesn't put it on his grace, and on the contrary, he treats me amicably as if nothing had happened.... At the time, when he was safe and able to become a knight, he relieved himself from the bottom of his heart.
"… attend next week's birthday celebration on behalf of Captain Logan. As the chief enlisted knight of the year, I will accompany the Chivalry Chiefs."
"Seriously, I'm glad you're with the Knights Commander and the Vice Commander." No, that's so nervous, but I can't believe I can accompany the Knights Commander. "
At once they scream from close range and echo in the eardrums.
Unexpectedly holding Alan's side of his ear, he defies his torso. I pointed out that your voice is loud, but it doesn't cool Alan's excitement at all. Wow, that's good! I would like to replace him if he is serious about replacing him.
Even for him, who is not afraid of seniors, bosses, or even captains, the Knights Commander in particular was exceptional. That he had a longing for a knight makes him nervous about bees as if he had become a rock just in front of the Knights Commander. The number of words also decreases, and the fever enters the face, such as when the tongue should be fluent and too nervous. Why is it and everything extreme?
"Are you not happy, Column? You are rarely called the Knight of Chief Enlistment."
"It is indeed an honor to be accompanied by the Knights Commanders... … the royal ceremony, etc., is just hard."
Knights Squad Chief Enlisted. It is common for the surrounding royal nobility to be interested in that one-year title alone.
Especially good grades and blood muscles, the younger you are, the more likely you are to be considered a future candidate for captain and a candidate for chief of the knighthood. In some cases, they may be invited to a party presided over by the royal marquis, a social community. A literal manifestation of "anticipation," said the vice president.
It is also rare that chief enlisted persons who have no difficulty with the topic are chosen as companions in public places, as deputies to deputies and best knight captains who are thus invited by nomination or busy on assignment. It is also a valuable opportunity to sell connections and names in a setting where knights who are not necessarily captains are never invited.
"Well, you're the elite. So the ceremony's unusual."
"There's no way I could attend a ceremony or anything like that when I was a minor. I've never been to a royal ceremony before. But... I'm not interested."
Correct one thing from me to Alan, who says it with ease and without disgust.
First of all, not all nobles from all over the country are invited to royal ceremonies because they are from nobility. Sure, my Bordeaux family is invited, but only one accompanying adult with our Lord is still allowed. It may be a pleasure for my father that I was invited to the royal ceremony as an individual. But... I don't feel happy because it's a ceremony that's open for royalty.
Alan is also only envious of one point: not royalty, but accompanying the Knights. He seems to be very inconsiderate with the royal family in him, too.
"Heh. I'm a commoner from the beginning, and even though I am, I haven't had any fringe or interest, but I knew there were guys like that in the elite."
"Apart from my parents, my brother and I are not interested at all. I have been invited to the aristocratic dominated social world, but in the end it was a world full of watchfulness and self-expression. It would be a royal ceremony."
The fact that I, … no, the knight is invited to the ceremony will in itself have a strong intention.
It sounds good when it comes to inviting guests, but in the end, it's to show the people the majesty and power of the royal family in the glory of the Knights of the Kingdom. That's why only good knight captains or talking knights are invited. Originally, it should be possible to invite a larger number of knights only.
He was said to be a nominee, but he also greets him once at an episcopal celebration. It's been almost a year since I enlisted in the main unit, even though I said I was called as the chief enlisted. He said he had never been called to a royal ceremony before, but now he equals expectations and other social dictionaries.
Perhaps after a year they will ask me if I have achieved the desired grades that I have continued as a Knight in the main unit... but if a new "Chief Enlistment Knight" shows up again anyway, my interest in me will also shift.
The royal family was interested not in Column Bordeaux, but in being the most talkative knight in the army. Even if I die in a couple more years, for example, it will be difficult for them to even remember their faces instead of mourning.
Even when it comes to royalty, it's an employer. We are all Knights, including recruits, but there is a handful or so of them who are directly involved with their employers. The royal family does not recognize each and every knight, but only sees them as part of the "Knights" pole.
... naturally. The royal family is in a position to govern the country and deal with the world. It's more impossible to tell each knight to look at it. You can't lean your heart to a knight who doesn't even know when he will die for his country while being asked to have such a broad perspective. It would be great to know the names of the knights who died in a year but only the number of them. And just because you can meet such employers and their people in person, there's no way you can feel honored.
It is the royalty that is for the people. A knight is for the people and the royalty. Only for royalty are knights the means to defend their country, their people and themselves. The royal family is not interested in each and every one of us,... which is why I don't think I would be interested in the royal family either.
The knight is proud.
He does not ask for anything in return, he gives his life for his country and his people, he keeps polishing himself for when he comes, and he reaches out to any man when things happen. One drill will save a large number of people.
It wasn't power or glory, it just kept living for those who sought salvation, for those who had no power to resist. That was how I lived the knight I sought.
I want to protect my country. I want to protect the people with this hand, regardless of their identity. And I don't want one knight to die such a proud way of life. I want to be their force. That's why I keep wanting to be a knight myself, and I keep drilling to climb to the heights of being a knight even now that I've come true.
But no matter how proud and wonderful a knight is to me, Alan, and the knights, I also certainly understand that it is wrong to ask the royalty to understand it.
I don't want to talk about any dissatisfaction with the royalty there. Just as even knights volunteered for different reasons for each person, so does royalty have their justice. I mean, it's just that I personally went royal.
I have no expectations or interest. That's all.
"… it is, of course, not an important official business as well as the politics of the country to demonstrate its authority as a royalty. But it doesn't suit me."
And I don't even bother to say anything else about this twisted idea.
Alan, who gently flushed "heh" to my words, turns his arm behind his own head. "It's stiff," he muttered in a solitary tone, looking up at the sky where the stars also floated.
"Ma, let me know if there's anything interesting. Because it's good to drink. Just around next week, I'm talking to Mart and the others about having a drink in the second year of my first year with the team."
"I don't mind that, but if it's a topic of interest to them too..."
"It's my first show of something, and it's good to see how royalty looks, isn't it? You see, with Tiara and... with the adopted prince? I've never seen a royal family before."
If you're the first prince of the style, you hold your forehead at your fingertips while you correct that.
Well, it could certainly be interesting in that sense. This is where the First Princess and the First Prince meet the Second Princess for the first time, and the First Prince sees Her Majesty for the first time. If they behave amicably, even on the face alone, they will end without a cylinder, but if they have a slight but sinister atmosphere, they will also continue to lead to the disturbance of our kings.
I also hear rumors that the First Princess in particular has personality problems. In the sense of looking to the end of our country, it could be a ceremony of significance.
"... right"
"Oh, shit, I'm not interested in that either."
Walk with Alan, who says with a shiatsu laugh, and at least just hope it doesn't turn out to hold his head.
Slightly thanks to this, the legs that withheld the Birthday festival became lighter.
... and Dear Tiara's Birthday Festival.
"The three of us will protect this country... and the people."
The royal family ended the encounter without delay,
"Roderick, this is..."
"............... right"
The Knights Commander and Deputy Commander were unbelievably blinded,
"I recognize Pride Royal Ivy as my first heir to the throne!
I got a souvenir story for Alan and the others, too.
"I was thrilled with your words earlier. Happy First Throne Inheritance and Dear Tiara"
... In the end, it was just an "ideal ceremony as a royal family.
No more concerns, and again as never before with no expectations or interest, I also left it to the referral from the Knights Commander.
"I'll catch your eye first. My name is Column Bordeaux. This fiscal year, you have been appointed Knight of the Squad. It's a pleasure to meet you, Your Highness the First Princess of Pride."
I paid a verbal tribute to the First Princess, who was eight at the time, and told her name.
Understanding that there is no such thing as being remembered for the rest of your life.
... but.
"Captain Alan! Eric, Captain Column."
No way. That's when the First Princess...
"I'm sorry I couldn't thank you then. Thank you for your concern.... I think Captain Column, who was thinking of the people who helped him out under any circumstances, is a great person. Thank you for your continued support."
I'm tired of the Knights ambush that triggered it.
"We hear that Captain Column is a very good and gentle man who pays attention to his men and the knights around him. … I think you're right, too"
Break my common sense one after the other.
"... I... still want you two to protect me..."
It's going to take your mind away from you.
"Captain Column was the one I wanted to be with until I died."
At the time, I... never imagined.
"First of all, next time I see you outside, I'd like to call you" Mr. Eric "about Deputy Eric. So nice that you really want to be a part of your family."
"Pride! Pride! Isn't it time you conveyed your full sincerity?"
"Master Pride, don't worry. Eric is a knight who will do the job once he receives it..."
Now the day is too far gone for me to be interested in royalty.
For me I wanted Lord Pride's Kingsguard knight myself and became a candidate for my fiancée.
