A subordinate knight (rookie) is simply an apprentice knight.

Many are the children of active knights, who serve and teach another knight to learn martial arts, courtesy, and how to be a knight.

If you are recognized as eligible after several years of training, you can name a true knight (Gill) in sunshine and independence.

Merida was the third daughter of a certain aristocracy in the Count of France, but she was odd enough to serve Sandar.

Even as a woman, Little Merida had no martial arts talent, but the Ulu Knight was politely mentored and never treated unreasonably without a disgusting face.

However, Merida is not just a squire either.

While controlling the actions of a knight who also made a valiant name for himself in the north called Sandar, he uses it for intelligence purposes of the Count of France.

Most of all, I wasn't trained to be a spy like Karel. Using your position as a nobleman and your upbringing to gather information is your primary role.

Man would call it a dirty task, but it has not been once or twice that he saved a battered people in his journey with the Knight of Universal History, full of justice.

Merida liked the place and role given to herself a lot.

"Does that mean for Master Margils that both humans and dark elves are the same......?

Merida said of the beautiful woman (Crawla) who carries the cup to her mouth in the perfect manner, observing it carefully and without disrespect.

Merida herself intends to possess a more than standard appearance and elegance as an aristocratic maid. However, I cannot deny that I have been drained for more than a year because of my training life under the Knight of Universal History.

"Right...... With all that power, there doesn't seem to be a big difference between the two."

"Well..."

Merida paid more attention to the shapely frowning expression than to Crawla's words.

I know that Crawla is the only one who gives a frontal opinion to Margils, the castle owner. She needs to know what she thinks of Margils on this mission.

If Crawler has even a slight rebellion against Margirus… it should be available.

"I guess Crawler, who serves such a great man, has a lot of hard work to do."

"... thank you for your attention."

"No......"

Merida was feeling her 'struggle' in the subtle 'between' and 'replies'.

... I feel a little intimate about that.

"Still, I'm talking about Mr. Margils, so I'm sure you're paying well for the hard work, right?

……

To Merida's inquiry, Crawla shrugs after a few seconds of silence.

"Twenty Gold Coins"

"What?"

"This is my monthly salary as my magic advisor."

"... ha..."

Crawla explained in a very flat voice. Somehow it also looks like there is no light in your eyes.

Speaking of twenty pieces of gold, it's an amount a family can live in for about a month, and it doesn't seem bad as a salary to an individual. but that's just a common level story.

If a castle owner or knighthood wants to hire a magician who is a rare technical position and an equivalent 'identity' to a nobleman or knight, it is not surprising to offer double the amount. Except for the cost of living and necessary expenses.

"Well, in my case, sometimes I'm learning from that one as a trainee, so that's the amount I'm offsetting"

"I see..."

Merida hammered with a subtle look. Even if you add up to the circumstances I just heard, that's about as subtle an amount.

I couldn't get a glimpse of dissatisfaction from Crawla's voice or expression, but then would you say something like this in the first place?

Ordinary aristocrats would cut and throw away salary stories and other nasty topics. After all, aren't you dissatisfied with the poor treatment?

"Uh... but isn't it a great honor to fight the dark in the presence of someone like Mr. Margils"

Why am I following you? Merida said as she tilted her inner neck.

"Honor?... Oh, you're right"

Now, Crawler seemed a little more surprised.

"About honor, too, you're not at all attached to that one. … I need to tell you about the Lord's honor."

For some reason, Crawla says as she buzzes her finger joints (an indication of her willingness to 'do it' even in this world (Sedia)).

"... well, is that right? Mr. Crawler is trusted by Mr. Margils."

"If that's what it looks like... I'd be delighted"

Crawla smiled flashly.

As Merida exited with a subtle tilt in her neck, Mora and Leiha came to replace her.

Mora had been putting tea and sweets on the tray, so the three of us decided to have another tea party.

"... I don't think there will be a problem with a secret detective named Karel who was in the main tower after that"

"Thank you for your time."

Crawla nodding naturally to Reykha's report.

Meanwhile, Mora hasn't made her mouth a 'hee' word in a long time.

"You were trying to find Mr. Gio's room, weren't you? Isn't that the kind of person you should kick out?

"That's not nice, is it? As for you, Sir Sandar… I would therefore like to establish a friendly relationship with the Count of France."

"That's right..."

"Ma'am, I've given him enough warning. Nothing the lady cares more about."

"Hmm, if that's what you two say... Ah. Rather than that, could I have listened to the important story?

Maura, who looked grumpy with her hands on her hips, suddenly shrugged smaller.

Although Crawla blinked for a moment at the look.

"Nice to meet you, Maura. This is the story of being (...)"

Yes, I said it gently.

"... you may also leave the servant knight Merida alone for now"

"Understood."

"I don't know what that means"

This was followed by reports from Crawla of earlier talks with Merida.

Reykha's and Mora's responses to Crawler's summary are the opposite.

"... it seems she has come to explore my relationship with Margils in the first place."

"Or a relationship. Nasty......"

"We're not talking about that kind of relationship, are we?

Crawla sighs, but I'll explain to Mora what it means to be behind that meeting.

In other words, I have come to see if there is a castle of the great wizard who is inexperienced to respond to treachery at any time.

"Oh no, I can't believe Mr. Crawler betrayed Mr. Gio! You're rude!

"Ma'am, that's all they're wary of the Lord."

It was a world that Mora, a normal girl, could not understand, even though she was intelligent for how old she was and had experience as the daughter of a trading merchant.

"Of course, I would never betray Mr. Gio! You said you did, didn't you?

"No? Instead, I made you smell like that could happen."

"Why!?

"Oh, lady."

Reiha forgives Maura for blushing and stuffing her into a crawler.

"If I told you that, you would come to me (me) first after this when something outside tries to set up a treachery inside the castle, right?

"... Yep... Uh, do you mean" … "?

"You say so, too. Besides, it makes them feel safer."

"Huh?"

Maura, whose shoulders were suppressed by Reykha, rounds her eyes.

"The Lord's power is different digits, and the way he thinks is very different from ordinary people. It's fear for the rulers of the world."

"So I taught him that there are people on his side who think normally and can complain directly to him."

"... ah... Somehow… I understand."

The crawlers don't know that Margils came from another world. I trust or 'respect' his explanation that he is an exotic person far from the Sedia continent called 'Ziteias'.

Furthermore, I am aware that his ethics and values are very far removed from the general people of Sedia. And how much fear that fact creates for the people who base their daily lives on the 'royal law' … especially the ruling class….

Maura exhaled and lowered her head with pepper.

"Excuse me. Without thought..."

"That's fine with you."

Crawla nods with a cool face.

But the truth is, her response to Merida had another meaning.

It is a countermeasure to the interior of the Castle of Zitheas. If, in the future, anything rebellious against Margils were born in the castle, he would first come into contact with Crawla as a representative of the opposition.

To locate and monitor the traitor, you need to prepare the traitor's flag first.

Reykha understands that much without saying it, and he just decided it was irritating to tell Mora so far and kept her quiet.

"But I also want to be more useful to Mr. Gio... Ah! Shall I help you find a secret detective, too?

Mora is certainly an ordinary girl.

But following the unusual presence of the Great Wizard, she's the one who decided before anyone else.

"If I let you do that, I (I) would be pissed off at him."

"The Lord's Cage..................... Sa, it's the left. It's our job."

Even though Crawla shrugging her shoulders and Reyja blushing her cheeks for some reason, Mora still seemed sorry.

"Nice to meet you, Maura?

Crawla puts her hands on both shoulders of Mora and whispers with a gaze.

"What I (I) said earlier about you is that you are someone who wants to support that person regardless of the damage. For this reason, I (I) use my position and knowledge, and Reich uses technology because it works best.... Maura, what are you good at?

"... my..."

Moira, thinking with her gaze down on the floor, immediately glanced straight at the crawler.

"My specialty is cleaning and laundry, cooking, sewing, talking to strangers, helping your father. Then it's all about Gio getting better!

"Right. Then... good luck with that."

"Yes."

"That's a good reply."

Clola thought as she gazed at Mora, who replied in a temper.

It would be nice if this honesty of Maura could be the wedge that holds Margirus in the land.

Even if I was just a loud collaborator to the end.
