The Old Knight of a Frontier District

Episode 3 Running Down (Part II)

7

The next morning, the sky cleared up beautifully.

Bardo left the hall to try to get back on the journey, but it didn't.

Sir Kurt Arendas fell asleep ill.

I could feel free to leave the hall without thanking you for all this care.

Also, although the clothes of the Baldos remained in the hands of the servants, it was too early to ask them to give them back in this situation.

Then the Baldos came to visit, but the knight Danga.

"Sir Lowen.

I'm going to train the soldiers.

Wouldn't you like to see it? "

Knight Danga said with an invincible laugh.

It was also just boring, and there was no particular reason to decline the offer because of it, so the Baldos followed the guidance of Knight Danga to the training ground.

Pretty good training ground.

Nearly twenty soldiers are training.

Knight Danga rigorously followed the archery.

It is hands-on swordsmanship.

This guy named Dunga seems to be treading on quite a few occasions.

"I wonder, Lord Lowen.

Just to see, it won't be boring.

How about one? "

At the offer of Knight Danga, Bardo signaled Seto.

It would be a good experience for Seto.

Bardo told Knight Dunga that this young man was due to be knighted shortly, please teach him first hand.

Knight Danga looked more like Cars and gave him a slightly unfortunate look.

I guess the Cars still felt like they weren't the only ones.

Probably invited him to the practice field to see how Cars was doing.

But I fixed my expression and nominated Seto's opponent.

"Korgen.

You owe me Lord Seto's breasts.

You're still young, but you're about to be knighted.

Don't hesitate to enter. "

Is it burning even something like a sense of confrontation at the pretentious appearances of the Balds?

I will not let you insult the soldiers of this land, my temper is hidden.

I don't hate Bardo for that way of being proud.

A knight or soldier is just about as strong as a nose column.

Is the soldier called Korgen in his mid-twenties or so?

I'm impressed I was making a good move just now during practice.

Korgen and Seto thanked each other and set up their swords.

It's a game format, albeit a practice.

Bardo was also interested in the extent to which Seto's sword would pass.

At first they were both struggling to find out how things were going, but since Seto never showed any signs of attacking them, Korgen cut the numbness.

And as Korgen struck deep, Seto struck a light blow into Korgen's chest without making the attack.

"One!

Lord Seto. "

An elderly soldier from the referee handed down his judgment.

The second bottle was the same.

Seto doesn't try to attack from himself at all.

Colgen couldn't hold back his frustration and tried to step deep and strike Seto's neck.

Seto put his swords together at a really good time and jumped into that nostalgia as he let his opponent's powers escape to the side.

Seto's sword stopped perfectly when it was poked in Korgen's face.

"One!

Competition available.

Lord Seto! "

Apparently, it was a three-bottle battle, and the victory was declared where Seto took two.

"Whoa.

You don't look good in your old age. You fight calmly.

This is awesome.

Lord Seto would not have been enough in Korgen either.

I did something rude.

Larkt!

Let me deal with you, Lord Seto.

Lord Seto.

This person will be able to practice well for Lord Seto. "

Thus it became a match between Seto and Larkt.

Larkt is a big man around the age of thirty, a man of such a look as a warring soldier.

Seto went into standby warfare against this man as well, but his opponent is not the kind of soldier easily fished out.

Stuffed with stiffness and intermission, he unleashed a sword that seemed to explore.

Seto aligned himself with his opponent's movements with a deposited foothold, swording with his sword and spraying it diagonally.

After several such attacks, suddenly Larkt has unleashed a quick swinging slash from the front.

Larkt wins in height, weight and strength.

He figured out Seto's strength when he was able to defeat him with an attack on his scalp.

So when Seto struck down from the front to properly match his sword to prevent slaughter, a surprise came to Larkt's expression.

And as it was, Seto's sword slammed Larkt's sword diagonally, striking Larkt's head.

He was wearing a leather helmet, but this blow seemed to have lasted quite a while, and Larkt poked his knee.

"One!

Competition available.

Lord Seto. "

The referee decided it was Seto's win in this blow.

Larkt had been shaking his head for a while, but eventually, when he stood up, he bowed back in a gracious manner to Seto.

"This surprised me.

The sword will also be used.

Next time, Drysen will deal with you.

Drysen! "

A soldier came from the wall.

The size of the ceto and body barely changes with the middle back of the middle meat.

But among the soldiers, he was the bearer of a remarkable martial arts.

When I practiced earlier, I was turning to the coaching side.

Maybe a man in this soldier regiment in a position that could be called the belly of a knight dunga.

When the game started with the sword pointed at each other, Bardo thought things were different.

Neither the moves of the sword, nor the number of places, nor the way the mind is placed, are comparable as if to Seto.

Instead, if there was so much difference in strength, I was relieved that Seto seemed to be able to do it without getting hurt.

But to my surprise, Seto fought quite well.

Hitting and changing from the previous two fights, Drysen's gap wandered as he repositioned left and right with a dizzying leg lift.

When Drysen's attack flies, it doesn't completely change it, but Seto also takes a blow to Drysen.

The referee has also stopped making judgments several times and has allowed the game to continue.

The damage is obviously greater on Ceto, but Ceto didn't try to give up and ate up on Drysen.

But where he took a painful blow to the flank,

"I'm here!

and Seto spoke out.

Following that, the referee also declared the victory of Drysen.

The knight Dunga looked at Seto with surprise.

"No, no.

This surprised me.

Lord Seto.

You are a big deal.

Uhm.

Forgive me.

Actually, I didn't have that much physique, and my expression seemed quiet, so there was an insult.

But you were a leopard boy.

No, you showed me something good.

That fighting spirit, really good!

The knight Danga took Seto very badly.

The look seems heartily impressed with Seto's struggle.

An armed knight, but the roots seem like a good man.

It didn't end up like pulling a tail later, and Baldo was relieved.

Nevertheless.

I didn't know Seto would do this much.

Truth is, I usually watch Quinta and Taranca's archery, and I see Seto's weakness.

But if you think about it, Quinta and Taranca are special.

If you go outside, Seto can be hands-on.

Bardo became happy.

If you look at Cars, he's as faceless as ever.

Happily, Baldo turned a sarcastic laugh to Cars.

Knight Dunga said he would continue training the soldiers a little more, so the Baldos left the training center.

The Baldos saw the horses at the stables.

After that, I tried to go back to the hall and met the two people who came running in.

It is a knight shama and a slur siena in the depths.

Knight Shama is holding his wife's hand.

And they're both traveling costumes, and their wives wear hoods deep.

I wonder how hasty he was.

Knight Shama meets the Balds and is surprised to see her eyes wide open.

But it is an inescapable situation.

Knight Shama told Bardo in a pressing state.

"It's in the escape of love.

I want to be missed!

At that time.

What happened in Bardo's mind at that time cannot be explained in words.

Bardo himself was surprised that his mind moved that way.

Anyway, Bardo put his right hand against his left chest, broke his right knee, and bowed his head deeply to his forbidden lovers, and said:

I see. I see.

Wonder, you two are about to become guardian knights of love.

Travel as you please.

The knights Shama and Slar Siena were also set aside for this.

The knight gives his sword to the sword.

I also offer my sword to your wife.

In addition to these, we may temporarily offer a sword to lend a hand to the achievement of love, which is called the Guardian Knight of Love.

When I am touched by that love and I want to help even in exchange for my life, I take an oath.

Once you have made the Knight of Love vow, you must defend your opponent, regardless of the reason for the affair or the number of hostile things.

But in this case, Bardo doesn't know anything about the pattern between his wife and Knight Shama.

Moreover, it is obvious that this is an attempt to expose the wife of Lord Kurt Arendas, and it is not an occasion for decent support, no matter what you think.

Even so, Bardo made a knightly vow of love.

The gentleman's knight, Shama, unexpectedly made an early decision,

"Thank you for accepting.

No wonder! "

So he put it aside, and put his wife on the stables horse, and jumped out across behind it.

Bardo returned to the practice field.

Fortunately, the soldiers in this hall are mostly gathered here.

As the Baldos entered through the entrance, Knight Dunga noticed.

"Oh?

You're back.

Did you feel like sweating a little more? "

After we talked about it, I caught an eye like an explorer.

There is only one entrance and exit in this practice area.

Bardo, Cars and Seto stand, blocking that entrance and exit.

I guess I got suspicious about that.

And there are those who have run into the practice field.

It's a small name.

"It's just tough!

Oh, your wife.

Your wife.

You have been electrocuted with the knight, Sherma Idar!

What! and Knight Dunga turned away.

It's a faint shape.

And I tried to jump out of the practice area.

but Baldo held back that path.

"Sir Lowen.

I want you to step aside there.

We have to bring your wife back. "

I'm sorry, Lord Danga.

And now I have sworn an oath unto my wife and to Shema the knight, the protector of love.

We can't let you through here until you two get away to a safe place.

"What!

Don't be ridiculous.

What do you know?

It has nothing to do with anything.

Get out of the way.

One way or the other, I'll kill you!

Cars Lowen made his way in.

Seto also advanced to the position of covering Baldo.

I guess that's just how Knight Dunga finds out that Cars Lowen isn't the only one.

He stops his leg, grinding his teeth and staring at the cars.

I put my hand on the sword and I'm still showing signs that I'm going to pull it out.

Whether the fighting spirit of the knight Danga has also fallen on the men behind him, and the twenty or so soldiers, if there is a decree, cannot storm.

If Knight Dunga issues an order or takes the lead, they will all storm out, too.

When Knight Dunga breathed and still tried to issue an order.

Bardo opened his eyes and stopped sewing the feet of the knight Danga and his men.

Even if you are old and weak, there is no creation to intimidate your opponent to this extent.

He distracted himself where he was about to explode, and Knight Dunga couldn't move.

How long did the rehearsal last?

An unexpected person appeared at the entrance and exit.

"The other two would have run away.

The Idar family territory is close.

I couldn't have escaped into that hall. "

Lord Sir Kurt Arendas said that in a terribly quiet voice.

9

Lord Arendas forced the Baldos into the welcoming room by telling the knights Danga and the soldiers to do as they normally do until they were separated.

So Sir Arendas recommended the Baldos tea and began to tell the story according to the matter.

Shama and Slar Siena originally liked each other.

Both families admitted to the two of them, so they were supposed to get married eventually.

But while Shema was out in the other house for her knight training, a knight Danga came to the Arrendas family.

The house of the knight Danga was related to the House of Arendas, and he sent Danga, the knight of Nanda, to the House of Arendas, where the knight had disappeared in recent circumstances.

The knight Dunga began to see Slurr Siena.

I wish he'd talked to his surroundings about what he'd seen, but Knight Dunga suddenly went to Suller Siena's house and proposed.

From my personality, this is hard to say no to.

All the more so because Knight Danga is now the head knight of the Arrendas family.

Except it was a formal engagement with Shama, but there's no reason to refuse to propose to Knight Danga.

That's when the lord Kurt went out to extraordinary means.

He welcomed Suller Siena to his wife.

This is a terrible way to do it because ministers embezzle the person they're applying to marry.

But with the authority of the lord he silenced the knight Danga.

Shama, who came back to the realm as a knight, was terribly surprised, but nothing could be done about it now.

But I couldn't think of a Slurr Siena in Knight Shama.

Slurr Siena did the same thing.

And today they finally took their hand and ran away.

"As a matter of fact, I welcomed him to my wife, but I never called him.

Maybe that's what made Knight Shama decide. "

There was something about Baldo that I didn't understand.

Even though the knight Danga proposed, could he have told us the circumstances and had the proposal withdrawn?

If you want the same lord's authority to say things, it's obvious that there are fewer wounds left than embezzling your wife.

Also, as it is, Knight Shama must live with sin as the man who took the master's wife.

Pushing a knight shama into such a position is incompatible with this serene lord's attitude.

All the more so because the eyes that talk about the knight Shama and the slur Siena are extremely sweet.

What the hell is this all about?

To Bardo, unable to put his thoughts together, Sir Arendas showed a piece of paperwork.

That was the document in which the cleric granted Sir Arendas his divorce.

However, the date is not filled in.

"All you have to do is write today's date.

That way, the Knight Shama would not have taken your master's wife. "

Bardo finally couldn't figure it out.

If it was enough to do such a hassle, I should have just given the divorce papers to my wife and let Knight Shama know as well.

I thought so, but the next moment, no, that didn't work, I got a thought in my mind.

Then isn't the knight shama just to be given?

Shall I just be passive to accomplish my love?

So can it be considered an achievement of love?

No, you can't.

I can't do that.

What do you do without telling Slurr Siena that you love her with your life at stake?

What will you do without making them ready to abandon the house or the house?

It is only with that much thought that I can confess that Slurr Siena can also give herself to that love.

That's what love accomplishes.

In the first place, this is something that would not have happened if Knight Shama had been decent.

Wouldn't Sir Kurt Arendas be convinced that he would be taken with his wife without even giving him this degree of trial?

Bardo felt terribly happy.

And I like this old nobleman.

And, yes, I did.

Me too.

Me too.

Maybe it was?

Should I have?

While Bardo was away, Idra decided to marry the Coendella family.

Upon hearing the news, Bardo despaired.

But there was a while before Bardo returned to Pakula and Idra traveled to enter.

Shouldn't I have taken it?

Or Idra, Hydra, or Vora.

At the bottom of your heart, didn't you want that?

No.

No.

No way.

That's what happened.

I can't even think about stealing Master Idra.

And how shall I be a knight before him, when he hath gone out to the great House of Tercia, anointed with mud?

Isn't that to abandon a knight?

No.

No.

If.

Should I have thrown it away?

Being a knight and everything.

Wasn't that what you really meant by martyring in love?

It was a possibility that once Baldo could not even think of.

But when I was old enough to throw out the path I had followed and look at it, I realized that there could have been such a path.

That's right.

That was the way to go.

I'm the one who narrowed the path.

The breadth of the world is determined by my heart.

Bardo was shocked by the thoughts that came to his mind and remained silent for a long time.

Baldo Lowen.

Baldo Lowen.

Nevertheless, Bardo thought.

When I was young, I just got lost.

I figured if knowledge gained over the years and my horizons widened, things would look neat and the strays would disappear.

But how about that?

When I actually grew older, I realized that I had acquired both knowledge and depth of thought.

But I won't get lost.

It just went away, lost a lot, deeper.

Looking back at the past, I realize that events that I thought were simple at that time could also be viewed in a different way.

Yeah, I had to, I realize there was a different way to prescribe myself than I thought.

The older I get, the less I understand things.

I guess it's something I can hardly feel at ease with.

Bardo sighed at the irrationality of living.
