"Hey, hey, hey."

"Oh, my God, you look amazing."

Rhine was dreaming. A dream I used to have when I was still serving my country as a knight. Happy dreams, when I had no hesitation in waving my sword.

The line stood on the meadow. His country had plenty of meadows and the gentle wind was always pleasant on his body. Running a horse in it was exceptional, something he used to take a long ride with his thoughtful companions. But even more extraordinarily comfortable was when I was talking to the person in front of me.

"What would you do if I were...

"What?

The person's voice cannot be heard in the wind. The person smiled lonely and disappeared like the wind. The line was unaware when that person, who was always temperamental and strong, started and tried to make a weak noise. I wonder why you didn't notice anything at this time, and the line is still irritating.

And six months later, he decided to quit the knight who wanted and was in such a hurry that he decided to bet his life.

Then things began to move in a hurry. A few days later, Mustard commanded an army that had been assembled along the border and attacked Traguslon without question. To make matters worse for Traguslon, clients came in from the east at the same time. It was, of course, set up by Muster.

The main force invaded the west and was in battle with Gruzaldo. Totally void, Tragaslon's desperate resistance was also void, and the capital fell in about 10 days. It would also have been disastrous for Lenhardt, the capital of Tragaslon, to be on the terrain near Krums, but the intensity of the fighting exposed Lenhardt to fire for three days and three nights.

Mustard, who had a meeting with the Crown Prince, the commander of the Client, to further divide the occupied territories, snatched the Crown Prince's neck on the spot and, with that momentum, drove the main force of the Client army to destruction. He even attacked the client and took 1/5 of his territory. The client had to move the capital east because of the border. If you look only at the results, you can say it's just the bamboo march. Not to mention the discipline and ethics of war.

And at the same time quiet movements had begun in Krums territory.

"Ready, Lady Ray Fan"

"Fine, the decision will be tomorrow as planned"

"Ha. Then you're right. I'll tell everyone."

Rusty backs off with a bow of grace. With no mustard, the lay fans were planning to recapture the capital, Seimlid, by gesture only. Rusty is not originally a person of high stature, but is fortunate for his overly serious personality, he was a very trusted man by the young knights. Because of this, there was a gradual gathering of humans at his disposal, and now nearly 500 knights were serving as a gesture for Ray fans.

But Ray Fan's expression is stiff and heavy. When she returned to the room, she cursorily opened the door.

"Ugh..."

"Wrong room, you"

"Huh?"

Ray Fan was going back to his room and was coming to Rhine's room. I don't know why that happened, but maybe that was unconscious behavior.

"Crawling at night?

"Behold! Disgraceful!!

"That's how it goes. It's more like you."

Rayfan tried to throw something at hand, but when he noticed that the line was trying to inspire him, he lowered his hand. Though it may not be a very praiseworthy encouragement.

Rhine was caring for swords and weapons. The look was serious, the face of a fierce knight himself. Ray fans and I have noticed. The line in front of me says it's not just a mercenary.

"Line..."

"Hmm? You still got something?

"Were you a knight?

"... old time."

Rhine answered without looking up. Usually it's a blur, but if the other person is also a princess, she doesn't lie. I don't know, the line was serious in that part.

But I can't even guess that far. The young Ray fan hit him with an honest question.

"Why did you quit the knight?

"I can no longer find significance in being a knight"

"What's that..."

"The subject I gave my sword to was scum. What I believed was illusory. That's all. So I decided not to wave a sword for anyone from now on."

"So why are you helping me this time?

Rayfan's doubts are particularly so. The line also stopped the hand of work to think about it. The dance slave at the window also looks towards the line.

"... because you have too many blue kids in trouble. I'm on the side of justice."

"So you think you'll fight for me?

"Is that how you say it?

I saw Ray fans as the line seemed annoying, but Ray fans were serious themselves. On that look, the line of accidental barometric pressure.

Watch how it goes. The dance slave is sneaking a laugh.

"You know, who's for you..."

"I am listening seriously. Why are you giving me a hand?

"That's..."

I saw a dance slave so that Rhine would ask for help, but there's no way she could even get a help ship out to Rhine more than the original. Instead, he looks funny and looks at the line. Her brown eyes caught the line straight as she returned her gaze to Ray Fan as she also gave up.

And the usual light appearance disappears from the eyes of the line as well. How long have I been staring? I started answering Ray fans who didn't try to distract me, as Rhine also noticed.

"... old times, I've let my own woman die"

"Does that mean lover,

"Right. Or it could have been more."

The line looked up at the ceiling. She is remembered for her flowing brown hair and her tight expression.

"I'm from a civilian. My parents were servants of the Sahrao aristocracy, and when I was young, I was to serve in the house again, naturally. That's when I met the lady in the house, a little older."

"... so?

"No, you're far from saying a lady. The house was a Takeshi family affair, and the father, who was the main one, was very strict. He's always been made to do sword arches until he's worn out. It was my job to take care of that wound."

"Is that what led you to love each other?

Ray fans bumped into an honest question, but the line blew up a little to see if something was wrong. Ray fans get annoyed by the way it looks.

"Why are you laughing!? I'm serious..."

"I know, I know! But 'love each other' is a masterpiece, isn't it?

"So, but!

Rhine continued the conversation as he stroked Ray Fan's head, which he still disagreed with.

"I wanted to be a knight even though I was a common man at the time, and when I found between them, I was waving my sword. So I asked her about how to arch a sword. Normally, I wouldn't have been afraid to ask, but I'm a kid, too. I didn't know you were afraid."

"I don't think I know it yet."

"You shut the fuck up!

The line unleashed a bottle of liquor on the teary dance slave, who received it and began to drink it roughly.

Still, Rhine keeps talking.

"Then I guess. The kid and I started talking little by little, and I started polishing my sword arms. I am a spokesperson for the child, and I have been given special care of the Knights' caregivers and swords. Only when I was six."

"When I was 10 and officially enlisted as a knight apprentice, the kid came into the army as a cadet. I was only 15 years old, but I was already strong enough to be a normal knight. I was assigned to a platoon commanded by the child, and I began to take up my assignment one by one. So now I've learned all sorts of tactics and soldiers, and when I was 13, I was tasked with a platoon captain, one unit in 15."

"Isn't that an unusual birth? In Krums, you are entrusted with platoon command as early as possible, even if you are a cadet, because you are about 18 years old, and you are from a civilian, and isn't that unusual?

"Sounds like it was. So it was pretty tough to shut up rebellious people."

Rhine told me before and showed it, but naturally there was a lot of backlash. But the line drove ahead, sometimes flexibly and sometimes forcefully resolving those problems. That's what raised his reputation and his position in the army. And

"I guess since that time, I've become aware of that child as a woman. One day I told her how I felt, thinking I'd be shaken. But the answer was yes. Exactly how comfortable it is to rise to heaven. Plus, I've got more stories to tell."

"Like what?"

"I have a famous knight in my country. I was to be able to work out with that knight who guarded the land on the border. Besides, luckily, the child had been summoned at the same time. We jumped to that story without a word or two. Tough, really tough training. I learned a lot about being a knight there thoroughly. After two years like an arrow, we went back to the capital, but I said no."

"Why? If you can go back with that person..."

"Right. From now on, it was definitely a mistake, but I had one determination at the time."

The line reminds me of myself at the time. Eventually, he didn't think it would be the time to make all the mistakes.
