"- Okay! Lucious, how about this!?
Sven, a cadet, raised his voice that way after the sound of the wind cutting off all the time.
Rieshe, dressed as a boy, applauds with his eyes shining. Sven's wooden sword painted a brilliant sword.
"Sven, wow! It was so beautiful in its current shape!
The way people improve is exciting even from the outside.
In response to Liesche's words, Sven corrected his residence to tighten up immediately after breaking his face with joy for a moment.
"Well, with me, this much is natural.... hehe"
I have repeated my bareback over and over again, looking at my earlier senses. Repetitive practice is one of the basics, so being aggressive is a very good thing.
When Liesche lowers his wooden sword, he ascertains the approximate time at the height of the yang.
"It's time to clean the training area after a short break"
"Well, I can't beat you for cleaning. Before I do, I'm gonna have a drink of water."
"Yeah, come on in"
Dropping Sven off toward the well, Liesche turned around and looked back.
"Hey Fritz. Earlier in the day…"
"Wow!
"Huh!?
As soon as I spoke, Fritz, who was barebacking behind me, removes the wooden sword. Apparently, you surprised me.
"Sorry! You've been concentrating."
"Oh, well, that's not what I'm talking about! No, I was concentrating!
Fritz's finger, who hastily tried to pick up the wooden sword, touches Liesche's finger, who also tried to reach out. Just once, just for a moment.
Yet Fritz raised his voice and lagged behind.
"Wow!!
I wonder what the hell is wrong with you.
"... Ah, maybe static electricity? Funny, it's not supposed to happen during humid seasons."
"No, Lou!! Why are you so finger thin and luxurious......!
"Yu, fingers!?
That's what they say to me. In his life as a knight, he remembered a person noticing him as a skeleton and a woman, hastily smiling and deceiving.
"It's not normal, it's like this. The Fritz are working out, so maybe they have stronger hands than people."
"Oh, shit... You're normal now..."
Seeing the bumps and squeaking frizz makes me worried after all. He said he was sleepless yesterday, and I guess he's not feeling well after all.
"Fritz, are you okay?
"Uh hey, I'm fine! More than that, is Lou okay?"
They asked me that, and I blinked.
"Yeah. I'm fine, and my muscle aches have calmed down."
"Fine, but you're kind of not feeling well today, are you? I don't have a depressed face, no matter how tight it is, always in training. I just leaned down a little bit, and I was like I was sighing, so I was wondering."
Leishe is surprised to learn that he was seen to unexpected.
(Fritz, after all, is very good at being a knight. I observe my surroundings carefully, and it's not easy to be attentive to people so far as I train myself)
These knights are also suitable for captainship. I apologized for worrying while I felt reliable about Fritz.
"Sorry. Actually, I've got a lot to think about."
"Oh well. I wouldn't force you to ask, but if there's anything I can do, you can talk to me about it, okay? Just tell someone, it'll be refreshing."
"Thanks, Fritz"
"Ha, no!
Fritz laughed more when he showed his teeth.
"Sit down and rest a little longer. Do you want me to get some water?
"Yeah, I'm fine. But, Fritz, get some moisture."
"Mm-hmm. Okay, I'll be there then"
After waving at the fritz heading into the well, Leishe slowly sat down on the bench.
(... but you can't say...)
Neither can we say that we want to change the future in which war will take place in a few years' time, nor that the challenge at hand is friendship with the country of Coyol.
Suppose Liesche says, 'What do you think we should do to get the two countries to form an alliance in a reciprocal relationship?' What would Fritz look like if I talked to him?
After stealing and listening to the conversation on the balcony in the evening, Liesche hasn't been able to talk to Arnold.
To be precise, we had an unusual conversation. But I had the eyes of night club guests and escort knights, and I couldn't hear what had gotten in.
Most of all, even if we could have been alone, we wouldn't have been able to touch what he was talking about with Kyle.
(- I wonder if what happened in the evening has happened so far in my life)
I didn't get much sleep in the evening.
Hold your knees and press your forehead over them, Leishe thinks.
(Prince Kyle came to this country in the name of the wedding celebration between me and His Highness. That was maybe the first time in my life)
Even if an interaction similar to last night's conversation had occurred in the past life, there has never been an alliance between Garchhein and Coyol. I mean, everything should have been cracked.
Again, I felt like I couldn't miss this one.
Of course I want to avoid the tragedy of Coyol, but there are other thoughts in the leachet.
When I think about it all the way around, the signs I know are approaching.
"-Olcott. That's fast."
"Mr. Lovine!
Reeshe, who was accidentally called out, looked up in haste.
"What's wrong?
"Shh, excuse me!
I look a little strange when Lovine walks into the training ground because I feel reflexively fit. I never really meant to put it on the table, but that's just the observation.
But I couldn't say 'I've been running away from your signs all night, so with reflexes'.
"I heard Fritz Noland scream earlier. I came to see if something was wrong, but you're sick?
"No, I was simply taking a break!
While paying off the sand and dust on his clothes, Liesche explains.
"Hey, I was thinking about pity. So I backed off and became suspicious."
It's an explanation of deception, but it's not a total lie.
"Pity, what?
After a bit of trouble, Leishe asked:
"What if a cadet who's here is going to be knighted and then go to war with some country?... then we all go to war, right?"
"... right"
Rovine affirmed in a slightly plundered and quiet voice.
"We might have a future ahead of us where we all run into danger for our knights, right?... If you think so, you're kind of scared"
The thought has been in the leachet for some time now.
For Liesche as he was fighting as a knight, Garchhein was an enemy country.
The knights of that country were really strong and a great threat as enemies, but it's not like they didn't die alone.
When I'm watching the Fritz candidates, I want them to dream.
But Leishe also knows that there will surely be a war as it is.
Then Rovine opened his mouth.
"My son lost his life in the war ahead"
――
Rovine exhales with a soft smile.
"After fighting proudly, I want to praise my son that it was a wonderful end. … but I wanted my son to live as much as that emotion"
"Mr. Rovine..."
Rovine still makes me listen to Leishe, who can no longer say anything.
"I hope that the young people who live today will grow up healthy. I want that future to be filled with great hope.... I sincerely think so since I lost my son"
A gentle, but rusty voice.
Rovine always keeps an eye on our own candidates. I finally figured out why the bluff was calm when I came here.
"War is what robs someone of their future. It's decided better not to wake up like that, and whether you're looking to be a knight, it's natural to be afraid. The only way to overcome it is to stand up to it"
"Face it, what"
"Don't deny your wishes, your emotions. And it's about feeding it and moving forward. Identify what you can do and what you can do."
……
To the words, Liesche thinks.
(My wish. - Then, what I can do)
Liesche was once a knight, too.
I met a respectable master and vowed to protect them. I still believe that I didn't spare my life for that.
But I think so.
I never wanted to see the sight of my loved ones in danger and my people losing their lives.
"Thank you, Master Rovine."
"Oh. Nothing seems to have happened, so I'll go back once. See you later."
"Yes."
Liesche bowed his head and missed Rovine leaving the training ground.
After that, think again.
(I want to live free. I don't want to die. I want to stop the war for that.... but that's not all)
I crouch down to the ground again, meditate my eyes, and peek into my inner surface.
(I do not want the country of Coyol to perish. Besides......)
Plus, and I squeaked just in a creeping motion.
(… now Garchhein is a country feared from all over the world by force. Even His Majesty the King of my fatherland was frightened that he did not want to buy His Highness Arnold's unhappiness. Garchhein is an overwhelming powerful country, so there are no other countries that have reciprocal and friendly relations)
It should be the current emperor, Arnold's father, who has conducted belligerent politics.
But last night Arnold let go of saying, 'I and the Emperor are alike'. Liesche remembers that voice, which also contained some self-derisive sounds.
(His Royal Highness Arnold said 'invading is more suited to sex than joining hands with another country'. - But I wonder if it really is)
It's been a month and a half since I came to Garchhein. In the meantime, considering Arnold I've seen all along beside him, Leishe didn't seem that way.
(If His Royal Highness Arnold sees himself as something like that)
Slowly, open your eyes.
(- I want to tell that person that that's not true)
Even if Arnold himself doesn't know about it.
Not just to tell you in words, but so that Arnold himself can understand.
(... it is not for Garchhein to rule, nor for it to become hostile. If such a country increases to the rest of the world, not just Coyol, His Highness Arnold's future behavior could also change)
Leishe stood up slowly, slapping herself on the cheek after taking a deep breath.
Then, look firmly forward.
(Think, move on to fulfill your wish! Time goes by anyway, we have to act!
Hanging a breakthrough on myself, Sven and Fritz, who were going for a drink of water, returned.
"Lou, wait.... Is that a little cheerful?
"Yeah. I need to think about it, but I realized it doesn't make sense to bother"
First plan what action to take after this training is over.
Fritz was right, he got a little cheerful, it was about that arrowhead.
"-... we are going to take a special look at your training. This is the man you should serve at the stake of your lives, to be revealed in His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of this country."
……
After the start of the training.
The trainees, who were lined up in the training ground, were obsessed with the figure who appeared.
I know we shouldn't make a scene, but we can't all hide our excitement. When I first saw him, such as Fritz standing next to Liesche, I was so surprised that I was so happy.
Only Liesche in that desperately seems to attract a look to the worse.
Even so, the voice of the mentor, Rovine, was relentlessly spinning the name of the person.
His Highness Arnold Hein.
――――……
Liesche wants to hold his head.
A man with the most beautiful colored eyes in the world, standing in front of him, looked at Lieche with a grumpy look on his face.
