The Old Knight of a Frontier District

3

You know Gordon's mother is my sister.

Gordon was also twelve years old and was to begin his knight training.

But in the meantime, Maisian territory will be a little messy.

That's a lot of knights.

Six or seven of them must have had knights, starting with Gordon's father and his brothers.

But you didn't want Gordon to finish his studies in the cloudy air in your body, so you asked me.

All of a sudden he sent a letter to me.

Well, then, at my sister's request.

I assumed it.

Even so, Linz wasn't as big a city in those days as he is now.

I also took my men everyday to run around exorcising river bears and ear wolves.

Gordon put it in there, too.

As well as carrying luggage, horse pulling, and caring for weapons and horses, he also went through some real battles.

In the beginning, Gordon was quiet and quiet.

Still big, the skeleton is solid, the strength is strong, and I'm glad to say my strength is bottomless.

He immediately showed his head and fought with me shoulder to shoulder every three years.

Older knights are gone, too.

But there was no treat, he still held everyone's luggage and took care of his weapons and horses.

Oh, I can't just cook.

It's a waste of ingredients to make rice.

Everyone admired him like that and spoke up easily.

He started to open his heart to everyone and laugh brightly.

It's been about six months since Gordon came to my house.

I adopted a daughter named Trisha.

My parents and my brother and sister died of an epidemic.

Besides, there was a fire, and the house burned everything.

Trisha has straightened chestnut hair and is a white daughter with skin.

The two soon became friends like brothers and sisters.

Is Trisha four years down?

A brigade of Eina's people (Tran) came to Linz one year.

There's a woman in there who skilfully plays zalbatta and sings songs.

Trisha totally liked it and begged me to start learning.

I too was led to Trisha, and I held back my tran for twenty days.

And then just a minute later.

He said that Gordon would like some free time, even if it was rare.

If I forgive him, he went into the mountains and got ten pieces of ear long wolf fur.

He had a big scratch on his face, so I was surprised.

He said, get me Zarbata from Parzam in exchange for that fur.

I thought I did exactly that.

I kept it to myself for a little while.

Those days it cost me a lot of money to order from Parzam and buy the product.

I never saw Trisha's face so happy.

Then, between cooking and washing, Trisha started playing and singing Zarbatta every day.

When Gordon went away and left, the two of us went by Auva's side and made him listen to songs all the time.

It's about the year Gordon turned twenty.

A letter came from his father.

It's time to turn Gordon into a knight and return him to Maisia.

It was accompanied by the only thing.

I was about to launch the first big ship.

Great for people, things, and money.

Gordon doesn't have a single disgusting face to clean up what he asked for, and Martial Arts is a sure thing, and my men have high hopes.

If you stay here like this, it would be a lie when it comes to not feeling anything like that.

Then I decided that this would also be a good opportunity.

Everyone thought that Gordon and Trisha were still close and that the two would get married sooner or later.

Because if you become a knight, you can apply for a dignified marriage.

Even though she's adopted, she's the daughter of this Simon Epivarez, so there's nothing wrong with the family.

I thought his parents would be happy to agree.

I don't seem to do much these days, but I used to do something called graduation trials before I became a knight.

I gave Gordon the task of crusading the bandits of the South.

The bandits are nestled a little south of Linz.

Purchasing from the cities of the South was a huge blow.

Travelers don't like to go through there either, so there was also a bad influence on the development of this city.

I thought I'd get rid of him one day.

I couldn't attach a knight under a knight apprentice, so I attached twelve succumbing graduates.

The number of bandits was a little over thirty, so I thought that was it.

But even three months later, Gordon did not return.

When I started thinking about sending out a less worried search party, he came home.

He captured ten bandits, starting with his best balls, and returned with his right ear for eighty-five bandits.

The Bandits have swelled to over a hundred sizes.

Gordon, who knew the size of the enemy by sending out reconnaissance, stopped challenging the battle from the front and adopted a tactic to frighten and weaken the few.

Immediately he noticed that his opponent was being attacked by something, too, and carried out an intense search.

The Gordons hid themselves by diving on the ground and patiently shredded the enemy's power.

And at last, they carried out a simultaneous attack and annihilated the enemy.

There are about ten thieves who escaped, but the chief and executives either captured or killed them, so they don't think there are any more threats, I reported.

There was not a single dead man on my side.

According to the stories of those who fought under Gordon, the Gordon one always fought in the lead.

There were several dangerous things, but each time, a strange coincidence seems to have helped the Gordon one.

It's a hell of a medal.

He could have proposed to Trisha with his chest up.

Well, that's pretty good.

Trisha was dead.

A while after Gordon went to graduation trials, he fell ill, fell asleep, and died to sleep as he did.

I prayed fervently every day in my bunk.

Did I pray that I could live and see Gordon again?

Funny thing.

Couldn't wait for Gordon, he went to the funeral and Trisha buried him in the field.

He cried in front of Trisha's grave.

I cried out loud.

I have never seen a knight cry out loud in public.

Then I feel sorry for you.

How dare Gordon not move in front of Trisha's grave for three days and three nights.

It rained on the fourth day, and he returned soggy.

Then he changed.

I got bright and happy.

I started laughing out loud and having fun.

Looks like Trisha and I had an appointment.

Tell me more.

And I performed the rite of his knight's reign, and he returned to Maisia.

Then three years later, a letter came from Gordon stating that he would take it to his sister's son-in-law and knight him because there was a prospective man.

I noticed it when I read it.

I guess Gordon doesn't want to marry anyone anymore.

This is the story of Gordon Zarkos' love of his youth.

4.

After listening, Bardo silently offered his cup to hollow.

Simon, Cars and Seto did the same.

The four of them made a toast to the soul of Gordon Zarkos.

If I listened that way, I would have thought of a lot of things.

Yeah, it was an anecdote that made me feel once again that Godon was still Godon.

"Right.

Did Lord Bardo not know of Gordon's death until this year?

The deaths of Kainen and Eurika were not heard at the same time.

Oh, boy.

Even if you don't, I really can't help you with the fall of His Majesty Jules Lant. "

What... to?

Now, what did Lord Simon say?

What happened to Jules?

Simon also noticed when he saw Bardo's expression froze and Cars and Seto also had surprises on their faces.

For the Baldos, that's new information.

"Ya.

Didn't you know?

His Majesty Jules Rant Seagals, the former King of Parzam, was defeated last year. "

Bardo removed the cup.

Suddenly, my thoughts are empty.

Jules?

Jules?

My left chest suddenly became bitter and I held my chest with both hands with my hips floating.

I wish I didn't have to sit down, but I can't do that.

I felt the sweat gushing out of my forehead.

"Yes, please.

Lord Bardo's face is earthy.

I need a medic!

Get a medic.

Quickly.

Quick!! "

Bardo let go of consciousness as Simon listened to his turning voice at a distance.
