The three-day voyage ended unconnected, and in thanksgiving to the captains and crew who took care of him, Ekaterina disembarked from the fast ship with Alexei.
This place is already Duke of Yurnova territory. I feel the wind is cooler than the Imperial Capital just going a lot north. The buildings alongside the two shores of the tributary also looked different from the imperial capital, with an atmosphere similar to that of Switzerland and Northern Europe in previous life, where wood and bricks were often used for the exterior.
In the memory of previous life, a landscape that feels exotic.
But I miss it.
Though I have lived in a separate residence in the Duke's territory that I have never been able to say happy. This wind, the color of the sky, even the greenery of the surrounding mountains, makes my body feel deeply tamed. My first return home since my memory of my previous life, though it feels strange. I knew this place was a lifetime siege.
Ha! The unevenness of sensations in previous life and in this life is a red flag. Stop. Be careful not to fall on locks like after the admissions ceremony!
Ekaterina, are you okay?
Alexei took my hand gently, and Ekaterina returned it to me.
"It's okay, brother. I miss the smell of the wind, and I'm blurred."
"Right."
Alexei gently stroked her sister's hair.
"From here to the Reichsfuhrer, it takes a whole day by carriage. Stay overnight on the way and go slowly, but if you're not feeling well, just say so."
"Yes, um, brother... please hold my hand"
What previous life and this life have in common, it's love for your brother!
So if you stick with your brother and focus on helping him or folding your brother's overworked death flag, there shouldn't be a lock.
Alexei's mouth is burning.
And wrap her sister's luxurious hands around her with both hands.
"I won't make you feel hard again. I will protect you all."
"Brother......"
Ah, brother, it's not. It's not like claustrophobic trauma has come back.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry I'm such a pain in the ass sister of a previous life or a rock.
"If you do this, I have nothing to be afraid of. This is how you feel weak, but I'm going to protect you and your brother from ever having a hard time again."
"Thank you, sweetheart"
Alexei laughs.
Then he raised his face and spoke behind Ekaterina.
"Your work seems to be diminishing, my knights"
"It's no different for a lady. Sometimes you tell me how brave you are."
A sinister sounding voice returns.
Ekaterina turned around and turned her eyes round.
"Master Rosen!
Beautiful iron gray hair and moustache, Yurnova Knight Commander Rosen stood following a group of knights in a neat line.
Rosen, who has walked over, stretches her spine as she stands in front of Alexei and Ekaterina, fisting her chest and praising her.
Neither he nor the knights, unlike at the time of the royal family's fortune, are ordinary equipment that is not a courtesy. Unlike the costumes, they are used and covered in fading wounds, which make them known as war wars.
"My lord, my lady. Welcome back and celebrate."
"Welcome Daisy"
Alexei responds briefly.
That's your brother. It is amazing to say that it was an anachronistic dialogue.
"We have, my lady. Our Knights will protect you until Eurnova Castle."
With Rosen's words, the knights all of us fist at the chest and bow their heads. It's a controlled, beautiful move.
Beyond the knights, several carriages lead a series of magnificent carriages with the Duke's family crest. Must be a pick up from the main residence.
Ekaterina was surprised to notice those carriages surrounded by a further bunch of knights. This one also flies the regiment flag of the Knights of Yurnova and the seal flag of the Duke's house, while in paperwear. There are four flag bearers. They will fly two at the beginning of the carriage line, two at the rear, a regimental flag and a crest flag side by side.
This, the number of knights.
The right number of guards, though I don't know. As a natural feeling, there are too many for mere protection. No matter how much the Yurnovan realm says there are many powerful warcraft appearances.
I just inherited the title, young duke. There are disturbing molecules in the territory, which are also expected to undergo intense rebellion.
With that in mind, this must be a demonstration by the Knights. A statement of position that the Knights of Yurnova support the new Duke Alexei. Exactly, the guy who makes the flag clear.
Full support from the Knights, the Duke's greatest military force, would be Alexei's immense strength.
It should be noted that Eurnova Castle refers to the Duke's main residence. In the residence of the Duke of the Imperial Capital he called it the Duke's main residence for the sake of distinction, but in the territory he often referred to the main residence as the castle of Eurnova. Four hundred years ago, during its founding, it was a fortress of military bases, but now that the empire has developed steadily around the castle, it has been rebuilt into a stylish grand mansion (or palace). Still, I guess the Knights have become a habit of calling it a castle, in particular.
Yeah, that's your brother.
While my fucking father was playing, it was still my younger brother who stood on dangerous warcraft sweeps and muddy disaster rescue with the Knights. This is not your grandfather's legacy, it was built by your brother himself. A bond that will never shake.
It's really amazing that you're eighteen and holding onto the most important part of the territorial forces.
And I think this is because our Knights continue to be the organization that protects people from warcraft and disasters, as they should be. Elsewhere, even though the Knights may be ornamental only to their appearance, or they may be more abusive to the inhabitants by protecting only their lords and nobles. Once again, thank you.
Ekaterina smiled in gratitude to Rosen and the knights.
"It's dependable. If our Cavaliers, who are clean and strong, are with us, let us not even fear the Temple of Ambush. You can safely return to our home."
A grin blurs Rosen's mouth. He conveyed what he wanted to say.
"The inhabitants, too, were eagerly awaiting the return of their lords and ladies. If you look at yourself, it will please you."
The people support your brother, too. I take it for granted because I know what your brother has done, but I'm sure Mr. Novak and all the executives have tried to tell the inhabitants on various occasions that it is actually your brother who is in charge of the Duke's work. Because what you're doing is something you can't pass on unless you tell them.
Alexei smiled and pulled her sister's hand.
"Let's go home, then, to your castle"
"Brother, brother is the owner and castle owner."
"I told you I was your servant."
Ekaterina thinks as her brother pulls his hand and heads to the carriage.
... Brother, don't say too much in public because it feels like you shouldn't be doing the exact word.
But, brother, it's Cisco, so I can't help it.
