The Noble Girl Living in Debt

Get on the boat and move to the assigned room.

The boarding ticket was purchased by Bernard himself, choosing a shared room for four people.

The room has two double beds.

For the time being, curtains are used to partition around the bed. I was used to living with others because I was a knight.

On a luxury liner bound for, it feels a little sad if everything is in the room.

I climbed to the designated second step, closed the curtain and opened the package I got from Agnes.

Inside are chocolate cakes packed with cookies, scones and sweets.

I took one cookie and bitten it.

Sweet and gentle taste.

I just separated, but I want to pick you up soon.

For that, I needed to do my best.

◇◇◇

When we arrived at the Royal City, we tried to go straight to the store where we had promised to Lazar and Ernesto, but we felt a few followers behind him.

Immediately thinking that Blondel was the pursuer, he tried to shake it off due to crowds in the market, but unfortunately he could not scatter.

As you go further, you will walk faster and faster, but your hurt legs will become shackles and you will not proceed as you thought.

I gave up on the market, passed between people and jumped into a narrow alley with nobody.

It starts running fast and the opponent finally appears from crowds.

If you go down the long stairs while taking a rough breath with your shoulders, you will come out to the dim downtown even in the daytime.

This tower is a tall building that houses the residents, surrounding the left and right roads. The windows are tied to each other and laundry is hung there. Many layers of clothing cover the sky, so the town is dim.

The corridors are not well maintained, and the cobblestones are pitted due to raised or missing paving stones.

Such prospects are bad, and they have fled to the inside with bad feet.

This is the place where Bernard was looking around during his service as a knight. The path that only one person could finally pass, and the back alleys between the shops were places that they knew.

If you're stiff, you'll be able to meet the knights on your watch.

While thinking so, you will encounter a knight on patrol while you are running desperately.

"Hey, you guys--"

He called out to the two-man knight, but was terrified by the screams he heard from behind.

"Hey, that one who runs ahead is a thief!"

"Catch me!"

"Hah !?"

The knights who heard the thief information turned their glances toward Bernard who ran.

I thought it would be crazy, but I looked back and was scared.

I was running because a knight was dressed in a knight uniform.

Which argument you believe in is visible.

Bernard pats his tongue and escapes into a narrow passage.

Whipped, ran, ran, ran on the immovable leg.

The destination is a stream flowing through the city. It is also a living water for downtown people.

Several footsteps were heard from behind.

Predicts that the knight has gathered those who were patrol, saying it was an emergency.

Bernard jumped into the river without hesitation.

Legs were already at their limits, and there was no way to escape.

The royal capital of last night rained. The water in the stream increased, and the flow was faster than usual.

Usually clean water was brown and cloudy, and there were many leaves and tree branches.

There is no option to swim. It is only one-sided.

On the way, the body who asked for oxygen was against his will and breathed in the water. This leads to severe chopping and swallowing large amounts of water.

I am aware that if this situation is dangerous, I cannot help.

Where the river arrives-a deep waterway leading to the underground.

By then, you have to crawl on the ground.

I knew that there was a large tree that extended branches and leaves to the surface of the water. This is the first and last chance to climb up to the ground.

The water was cloudy, but fortunately the branches and leaves hanging on the surface of the water came into contact with the back and could be recognized.

Shaking the last force, Bernard reaches for the branch extending from the tree.

As a result, Bernard successfully ran down the tree and crawled up the stream.

However, he was unable to get up and repeatedly kneeled into the ground and breathed a lot.

I was surrounded by people when I thought I could breathe soon. The pursuers, the knights, have caught up.

Curiously, the number of knights was decreasing.

Bernard coughs, wondering if only the knights of Blondel's breath came in.

His physical strength and his legs were at his limit, but he wasn't caught calmly.

He looked up slowly and kicked the ground sand with his uninjured legs toward the knight's eyes. One person holds his eyes and squats on the spot. Another drew his sword and attacked Bernard.

Avoid the tip that was dropped down on the verge.

Then, after seeing a slight gap, he relentlessly kicked it towards the center of his lower body.

A knight who screams immediately and faints in agony.

As the same man, it is an attack that would never be done, but it was inevitable just today.

The rest is alone.

The conclusion came soon.

Your opponent fired a shotgun at Bernard.

Bernard falls on the spot after receiving a poisoned needle with immediate effect.

It was the last time you did not mind.

◇◇◇

Feel the piercing cold and wake up.

The room is dim and I don't know where it is.

In front of you is a solid grate.

In addition, there are small windows just above the room. From there, very cold air and a little light from the moonlit night came in.

When I glanced down, I heard the sound of overlapping metal.

You notice that it is a thick chain, with both hands and feet restrained.

"What is this--"

The muttering voice was severely wrinkled.

The mouth is dry and has a bloody taste.

He was heavy and his head complained of throbbing and painful.

Pain is screaming not only on the head but also all over the body, especially on the back.

I wanted to check it, but it didn't work because my limbs were restrained.

Someone looked into the outside of the bar.

From there, it becomes noisy.

After a while, it became quiet.

After that, footsteps walking down the corridor approaching here.

"You seem to have finally woke up."

Disliked voice that you have heard.

There, return to me.

The inside of my head, which had been blurry, was clearly sharp.

In the dim light of the moonlight, a slight twilight appeared-Johan Blondel, Deputy Commander of the Commander-in-Chief.

"You!"

"Bernard Orlérian, even in such a situation, it's a powerful thing. In a sense, I was impressed."

"This is the lower bastard!"

"I heard that it hurt, but it was surprising."

Bernard was taken to a certain location after being smitten by poison.

It was the place Blondel had used as a retreat, trapped in a prison built on the ground floor.

An hour later, Bernard, who had regained consciousness, began interrogation.

The information I want to know is where Agnes is and where her treasures are.

Whether hit or kicked, Bernard did not leak any information.

"Well, I knew that even if you were in physical pain, you wouldn't vomit the information. You're better off holding someone hostage and hurting than that, right?"

Before hearing Bernard's reply, Blondel orders his subordinate background.

It was Ernesto Balteremon that was rolled in front of the grate.

The whole body was restrained with a rope, and blood was oozing at the end of the mouth.

"Why are you--"

"Oh, it looks like Orlarian was safe."

"Okay, but barely."

Brondel talks about the situation.

It seems that Ernest sold a quarrel to a knight who rumors about a burglary incident caused by Bernard in the town cafeteria.

Blondel's minions who heard the commotion were overwhelmed by numbers and restrained.

"You aren't that hot guy?"

"Because he was talking about Orrelian's swearing ..."

Bernard bites his back teeth when he sees Ernest's weakness.

What Blondell was about to do was visible.

Looking at the removal of the knife, Bernard asked.

"Hey, do you know he's a Marquis?-If you hurt it, it will be hard!"

"I know. But, well, this man is a prodigal son who has forgotten the marquis. No problem."

If possible, Blondel says he doesn't want to hurt.

For that, Bernard's cooperation (...) is also necessary.

"Why do you do that?"

"It's a simple story, because without money you can't be promoted by the Knights."

"I know, but I don't understand how a capable person can do wrong without whistleblowing."

"I used to have a time when I was working with justice in myself."

Blondel said the condemnation was easily sealed off by a lot of pressure.

"I did something similar to what you did."

"Why do you repeat it?"

"I can't help it. No matter how hard I try, rotten things will not be restored. So I myself had to rot."

He was arrested, arrested, and subjected to violent interrogation after condemning the upper management.

With the power of the house, I managed to return to work as a knight, but my surrounding eyes are cold and spend lonely days.

"I've changed my mind-I have to dye in accordance with the tradition of the Knights!"

The last is Blondel who speaks out loud.

Bernard thought he was a sad person.

"In other words, he added money behind the scenes, repeated entertainment, and gained his current position."

"Sure"

Bernard muttered, "Okay," as soon as he wasn't interested.

"That's the end of the conversation. I'll have you vomit the information."

The gleaming gleaming knives shine straight into Ernest's neck.

"--If you don't say right away, I'll cut through this man's carotid artery."

"I'm saying, but could you help me soon?"

Bernard talked to someone who didn't show up here.

When Blondel realizes that the surrounding air has changed in an instant, he looks back in a hurry.

Standing there is a middle-aged man dressed in a fine coat.

He came with applause in a dignified state.

"--No, no, it was an interesting story, so I just listened!"

It was Ernest's father, Marquis Barteremon, who finances the country, speaking lightly and smiling meekly.

"I received a story that we talked and weeped, we heard and weeped. And then we left the Majesty a decision, so you can rest assured that Orlélian and the prodigal sons. Nice acting! "

In front of the Marquis, whose thumbs were raised and one eye snapped, Bernard and Ernest had to grin.

Zorozoro and the basement came to Calvin's private corps, who quickly captured Blondel.

Bernard is unchained and rescued from prison.

Ernest, who had been unwound, suddenly exhaled.

Stand up in a fluttering state and smile a little tired.

"Is this the end of this, Orlerian?"

"No, it's about to begin."

In the near future, the Knights will undergo major reforms.

One step is today's case.

I told Ernest to be prepared because it was going to be a big deal.

The knights start inspecting the scene.

At the same time, Bernard and Ernest are interviewed on the spot.

At the end, Lazar came.

Don't be sorry, I bow to Bernard.

"I was trying to convey a change in strategy due to the rain yesterday, but he seemed to be confused with his subordinate."

"I thought it was because the water level of the river was terrible."

Bernard's return to the royal capital was spread with the help of Noaié Ghibrill, a talkative synchronization.

His spoken content was quickly spread as a gossip.

Blondel who knows the information should work for Bernard.

It was a strategy to get caught on purpose and search for the opponent's base.

It was as planned until it ran around the downtown area from the market, jumped into the stream and was caught, but the rain caused the danger in the water to increase.

Lazar made an arrangement to inform his subordinates of the change in strategy, but was unfortunately misplaced due to the disruption in the operating hours of the carriages.

"For the time being, the net was set up so that it would be safe to fall to the depths."

"It was supposed to be captured like a fish."

Lazarre repeatedly apologized for ensuring safety, but still jumping into the fast flowing river.

"Well, it was safe."

"No, you're tattered."

"Yes, Orlerian, you should get treatment."

At this time, including the person, notice. He was severely assaulted and was full of bodily injuries.

After that, Bernard was treated and hospitalized for a while.

◇◇◇

After the arrest of Knights No. 2, Johan Blondel, both the Knights and the citizens are shocked.

Looking back on my actions, I felt a sense of crisis, and several knights came up.

The investigation was carried out one after another at the king's death, and an internal inspection was carried out quietly.

Blondel was stripped of his property and title and was sentenced to 15 years in jail, and was ruled heavily.

Included the meaning of one hundred penalties for one penalty so that a similar incident would never happen again.

In that, Bernard's punishment is also decided.

"This wasn't a praise, but we also looked at Agnes Reverge's kidnappings."

Thanks to Calvin's legal department at the Chamber of Commerce, the hearing proceeded in a favorable situation, with no delays.

The verdict ultimately sent to Bernard-no blame. However, he certainly did not do what he had to do, so he was ordered one year to be prudent, half a year lower in salary, and one year to clean the bathrooms of the Knights.

As senior leaders are forced to step down, Bernard starts something new.

At Lazar's recommendation, he began studying to become an instructor of the Knights.

During the month of grace, not only was it a royal city, but even going out was severe.

However, since the wound made when captured by Blondel has not healed, try to think that it is a good rest period.

Informed the family that the problem was solved successfully.

But, as the royal capital is still in turmoil, it is likely that it will be a little earlier to pick up Agnes.

Put a letter to your grandfather and mother, a letter to Agnès and three letters in each envelope, drop a candle on the part to be sealed, and press the seal of the Orlérian family.

They arrived in the morning and were delivered to the knight on request and arrived a few days later.

Looking outside the window, a little sunlight came in from the horizon in the dark night sky.

I think it's time for the knight to come and go out.

Looking up at the sky as the sun rises, Bernard thinks.

The long night is over.
