The Tale of the Teapot Hero’s Revenge
12 Wrath of the Shogun King/A Knight's Day
"You know why they called me in?
Called before King Burtoghu were five survivors of soldiers who participated in the burning of the village according to Caron.
They were all sweating out of their whole bodies, trembling in small pieces.
"Ha! In the matter of General Caron, may I?
Anyway, it's about Karon.
One soldier spoke courageously.
affirmed by the king, the expression loosens only slightly, but
"Why did you guys follow Caron back from the village? Why didn't you confirm the death of the brave man?
He is taunted by a figure full of intent to kill, and soon becomes enlightened.
That my life will end today.
"The killing of a brave man is an order that the rest gave directly. You, who took that order lightly after Karon's words, went to our country for the rest of your life."
"Chi, no, my king! Listen to me."
"I won't allow you to talk to me."
The king's body disappeared from the throne, the next moment.
"Ghapi!?
The soldier's torso was amputated by his waving two-meter sword.
"You don't need tools you can't use"
"Hi-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha"
"Yes, help me."
Soldiers slaughtered and killed one after the other, sprinkling blood and guts.
Less than five seconds later, they all turned into just chunks of meat.
"… Minister"
Minister Gustav watched this tragic execution without changing his complexion one by one.
Being called to the king frightens his expression for the first time.
"Ha!"
"Split the grass roots. But find Killier the Brave. Kill by all means. Give me that neck. Nice."
"Yes, sir."

At six o'clock in the morning, from the hour not long after the sun rises, this day of me, Elia Ulysses, begins.
First of all, a bare gesture.
It's a workout I've never missed in a day.
It's all for that one, to be the right knight for that one.
I sincerely believe that I have lived eighteen years of my life to become that knight of yours.
If you sweat, eat.
I can tell the maid to bring a menu that considers the balance between meat and vegetables.
The meals are all for body making, so they are useful to him when he has to.
And eight in the morning.
As always, I will leap my chest a little, and I will go to that man's room.
East side of the castle, to the direction where the yang rises.
"Is Master Perne awake?"
Ask the maid waiting in front of the room.
They, too, are the elites among the maids entrusted with the care of that one.
It's a grand gesture even before me.
"We woke up about an hour ago and have breakfast ready"
"Right. Mind if I come in?
"Go ahead, Master Perne, Master Elia is here"
"... come in"
I heard that voice from across the door.
The maid opened the door and stepped into the room where the sunlight plunged in.
"It's the same phase. It's the perfect time. A Really Serious Person"
And she is.
My Lord, Our Lady Perne Peltrant Deltirade, the Second Princess, smiled at me.
"Do your duty faithfully, because it is my duty, which is the Kingsguard knight who gave you his sword"
"Not a little too tight on the shoulder? Always at that rate, you'll get tired"
Let the light of the rising sun shine my golden hair, and let my blue eyes turn toward me.
Only then will my hardship be rewarded, I cannot say very much.
"... Elia by the way. Did you hear that? General Kallon was assassinated."
"Yes, did it happen three days ago? There's wasps all over the castle."
The princess's smile clouded me.
Major General Kallon's assassination has been wowed to be the work of the dissidents.
Why do they try to turn their teeth to the kingdom?
It seems that the remnants of the nations attacked and destroyed by the King are still operating with resentment, but they generate nothing, such as revenge.
He just said it would bring further destruction and death and chaos.
"Elia? I would have thought of something difficult again. There's a crease between your eyebrows, right?
"Oh, this is an ugly place."
I got stuck between my eyebrows.
Then stroke my red hair.
It's a terrible thing, but I can't even say what the princess does.
"You're a little too serious. And a little hard to think about. Even if you think you're right all the time, people won't follow you, will they?
"… Ha, I remember the liver"
Is it so catabulous, I am?
"Well, we have a little time to go on official business. Why don't you take a walk around Sukoshi Castle?
"Okay, I'll be with you"
I will do everything in my power to protect Master Perne from walking.
That's going to be my first assignment today.
Walk half a step back, like Perne walking down the hallway of the castle.
The princes, who are from the first to the thirteenth, have a lot of blood by inheriting the king's blood.
The princesses are also all the first princesses and the third to seventeenth princesses whose character is not so good.
However, this person is smart (groaning) and gentle at the age of thirteen, and is heartbroken from day to day by your father's work.
I was heartbroken by such a princess, and gave her this sword.
"Oh, Master Gillius."
A large knight's palace, dressed in silver knight armor, walked slightly.
To the princess's greeting, Lord Gillius bends his knees before her and bows his head deeply.
"Princess, you're in a good mood..."
"I'm glad you're okay, too."
"... Safe, you say?
"I hear the culprit of General Caron's assassination, let him go. I was worried that your father would blame you badly."
"You notice, it hurts. But as you can see. I am satisfied with five bodies."
"I'm really, really relieved"
Lord Gillius is an excellent knight.
The power is also said to contend for one or two in the kingdom.
I told the princess that the king would not dispose of him for small things either, but she was still worried about this man.
He's really sweet.
"Oh, I thought about a good thing. Gillius, can you ask Elia to do the swordsmanship?"
"Hih, princess!? Suddenly what..."
"Okay, so this is going to work for you, too, right?
It will be, even if they say so.
Even Lord Gillius won't be free like that.
"Fine."
Is that okay?
What a free time you had.
"Now let's go to the training ground. I'm so excited to see you two sword moves."
Me and Lord Gillius continue after the princess in a good mood.
Princess, you're also interested in martial arts because of this temperament, so that's the daughter of that king.
"Lord Gillius, please be gentle."
"In order to do it, I will do everything I can. Be prepared."
Are you prepared, must you?
"And, by the way, Lord Gillius. This is about the assassination of General Caron earlier..."
"Oh, you can't hear funny things. Except he was so stubborn, he just wanted to get away."
"No, it's not. I don't understand. Why do they risk their lives and teeth to the kingdom"
This great senior knight lord might answer something.
I really don't understand, about my doubts.
"... I don't know. There's just something I can't give away. Isn't that all?
"Something I can't give away...?
"For example, revenge......"
Revenge.
The look on Lord Gillius's face, as he said so, seems to look somewhere far away.
"Um --"
"Hey, both of you. You're having a difficult conversation."
"Oh, excuse me. Talk like this in front of the princess!
Yes, now in front of the princess.
The dedication of everything to this one is the reason for my life.
And for now, what we need to do is worry that it will end without injuring the kingdom's most powerful knight against us.
