Chapter 313 Lesson 311: Disguised Departure

Captain of the Sixth Kingsguard Knights, Lamberto is a man characterized by tanned skin.

The year is in the early thirties.

Born as four men of regional aristocracy, succeeding the governor is almost hopeless. He was a Lamberto who was looking to flourish by joining the army, but was recognized for his suitability for the Heavenly Falcon and was to take the road to the Falcon Knight.

Building on his mechanics and enlisting in the Sixth Kingsguard Knights, Lamberto has contributed to the Empire on missions such as liaison and reconnaissance to various locations.

However, the person had always requested a combat mission on the front line.

We are the strongest in the sky. I believe so, and that's not excessive confidence. But all we talk about is dragon knights and eagle lion knights.

Falcon knights who don't go into battle are never recognized as the strongest.

Therefore, I would hope or fulfill this time. Trans la t ed by ｊpm t l .ｃo ｍ

Of course, there would be other reasons for wanting to go to battlefield.

"The dragon knights of the united kingdom, we will kick your ass."

"You're reliable. But I have one thing to tell you."

"What is it?

"Our aim is to rescue Leo. This is the primary goal. Remember that in your liver."

"Of course it is. I don't need to be told."

"Is that true? Don't you want to make enemies of your best friend? Tran slat e d b y jp ｍ t l .c om

Lambert will shut up about my words.

Lamberto had a best friend. It's Oliver, who was the same Kingsguard captain and his age.

Lamberto was on the northern border during the rebellion in Imperial City. To tell them that an invasion from the clan is expected.

Lamberto will also know that such a mission is that of the Sixth Kingsguard. But you can't possibly wish you were in the Empire City.

Oliver was eventually discovered with a large number of swords in his body. Literally, you must have put your body up and stopped me.

But the direct cause of death is an abdominal wound. An unintentional blow from the back.

Raphael, captain of the Kingsguard of the backcutter, killed Oliver. And Raphael is under Gordon.

Sometimes if you join the northern front you will encounter it.

Will Lamberto stay calm then?

"... Is it wrong to wish to avenge a friend..."

"I'm not wrong. Naturally. But Oliver was a Kingsguard knight until the end. I did what I could for the Empire. If you abandon your mission and run to hostility, you will betray Oliver's thoughts."

"... I know..."

"If you know what I mean. Do your job properly. You're a Kingsguard captain. Do not make enemies after you do your duty. If the mission succeeds, I won't complain about anything."

"Your Highness..."

T ra n s l at e d b y ｊp m tl .co ｍ "Honestly, if I was in Rafael, I'd want to hit you once too. If you see him, do it instead. Well, it's just a priority."

It's useless to say no to a guy who hasn't been able to contain his feelings. I'm sure it'll work by instinct when that happens.

Then you should admit it. There's just a part of me that I can't give up either. It's a success of the mission.

I won't complain if you just do it right there.

Except.

"Definitely avoid being taken over the other way around. Already within the captain of the Kingsguard Knights, one dies and one disobeys. Many are leaving Empire City on assignment. If we cut back any more, we'll be all over protecting your father."

"Roger that. I carve it all into my heart."

That's what Lamberto said. He lowered his head quietly.

The next day.

I was willing to leave within yesterday, but the Chancellor made me wait for it.

I had no choice but to select from Minister Cuber's inventions what seemed to be available and kill time.

And what came was an unexpected force.

"Your Highness flew in when I heard you were here."

"The Chancellor is also overprotective. I didn't expect you to follow me, not just the Kingsguard."

There were about a hundred troops in front of me. Tra nsl a t e d by Jp ｍt l .ｃ o m

The representative was someone I knew well.

Colonel Lars, Commander of Nerbe Ritter.

The Chancellor purposefully summoned about a hundred people inside Nerbe Ritter, apparently.

Nerbe Ritter's main mission is the defense of the central Empire. Nerbe Ritter's trust rushed during the rebellion is thick in a situation where he doesn't know when and which army will flip the anti-flag.

That is why it was kept in the central part of the Empire.

Though a hundred of them, I didn't expect you to lend them, including Colonel Lars. This is what it's all about.

"Since that day, we all hoped to fight under His Highness's command. I entrust this life to Your Highness."

"I assume you took command during the Imperial Rebellion?

"I'm not saying I took command to that extent. I really hope so, Your Highness."

"I hope you don't. That kind of thing."

That said, I shrug my shoulders while I prepare a black hooded cape.

On the face of it, I'm still supposed to be asleep.

I can't afford it unless nobody finds out, as usual.

"So shall we leave? First we move on to the west. The Empire will have enemy eyes anyway. I make it look like we're going west till night."

Tr a ns late d b y jpm t l.ｃ oｍ "It's an operation called moving north, distracted by the darkness of the night, isn't it?

"That's the place. I have quite a few things to take with me. Let's call it a transport mission."

That said, I point to a few carriages. Minister Cuber's inventions are tightly packed there.

I hear there are a lot of failures in person, but depending on how I used them, I chose something that would be a force for war.

"Are the Sixth Kingsguard Knights ahead?

"That's right. It stands out when we're acting together. Meet them in the north. Sebastian, I'm on guard around you."

"Yes, sir."

That's how Sebastian disappears without sound.

Sebastian will respond even if the enemy's hands suspect us and follow us.

Well, it's hard to track down after Nerbe Ritter without Sebastian.

Maintaining a high degree of training with rigorous training, Nerbe Ritter can handle any task. Everything from forced breakthroughs to covert operations.

No one will dare try to track you down at your peril. The eyes and ears that purchase information about the Empire are important to the enemy as well. Until we are ready to lose it, we will show no interest in troops heading west.

"But, well, if the Sixth Kingsguard were given even Nerbe Ritter, you wouldn't be allowed to fail."

"Don't pretend to worry, even though you're not willing to fail more than you were"

"Dude, I'm not that confident, am I? I think I might fail properly."

"That's not what my face said. How shall I conspire against them? That's the look."

"Don't call people crooks."

"Though I think con artists are still kinder. So, how are you going to move this time? Professor, if you don't mind?

"It's not a big deal. Well, I'll explain on the road. I need you to move."

That's how I try to ride a horse.

But the knight who rushed it stopped me.

"Your Highness! Your Majesty tells me to show my face before I go!

"Huh? I thought you said hello to the exit?

"That's right..."

The knight had a troubled look on his face.

What can I do to get this knight in trouble?

"Okay. Let me just show you my face."

That's why I headed to the castle.

■ ■ ■

Throne room.

It was just me and my father there.

And the apparent reason would be a large military flag placed.

Crossed black and white double swords on the red ground.

A new military flag I've never seen.

"Are you talking about taking this?

"... originally Leonardo's flag. But the color scheme of the sword is the opposite of that of Leonardo."

"Did I make a mistake?

"Fool, I dare you. I made you think about what you would use during the ritual."

"Another tricky thing... you want me to take this?

"Yes."

"I'm not going to lead the army, and you can't tell on the battlefield, can you?

"I'll leave it to you how to use it. Just take it."

That's what Father shuts up.

When I saw him like that, I squeaked.

"Now you're worried?

"It also worries me. Now, if I were to put you on the battlefield, I wish I'd learned more."

"Now it is."

"Not now."

In addition, silence persists often.

His father sits on the throne like an emperor, but his face belonged to his father.

If the Chancellor is not beside him, weakness sometimes makes a face.

I began to see that aspect after the Crown Prince died.

Zandra is already dead, too.

I guess it's sad that the kid keeps disappearing.

But.

"- I'm royal. And you are the emperor."

"... I know"

"Then you'll have to think there's no choice. I know you're asking, but Oliver apologized to your father. You must have felt responsible."

"Oh, I'm listening. Traugot and Krista told me."

"This one incident was caused by the royal family. Everything is the responsibility of the royal family. Yet the Kingsguard Knight feels responsible. It's a funny story. Even though it is the soldiers, the knights and the people on the front line who die. The grudges won't reach us. It's all because Gordon's a bad guy."

"Right..."

"But the people are watching. Soldiers are watching. The knight is watching. The unreachable voice is within them. This one should be cleared up quickly. With all the royal power, the royal family shed blood, and the royal family risked their lives to solve one thing. You are the emperor, and I am your son. It's my duty to be on the front line."

"If there are other royals, let's go through that argument. But you abandoned your duty and instead you continued to be insulted. Now it's a strange story to be bound by royal duty. Even if you do your duty in good standing, the insults you have suffered in the past will not disappear. Aren't you sorry? Isn't that sad? Don't you think that's irrational?

The words would be the true meaning of Father.

The royal family is respected by blood muscles. And because of the obligations that I have assumed.

I abandoned my duty and was not respected.

So now I know it's strange to be bound by royal duty.

But.

"It's all my choice. It was my responsibility to renounce my duty and be called the Prince. That's nobody's fault. And this time, it's also my choice to be on the front line. I chose because I felt obligated. But I'm not heading to the battlefield for the Empire. It's for my family and people close to me. I don't want to see a future where my family and people close to me apologize at the end."

So I'm going.

That's what I said. I thanked my father and turned my back.

My father spoke to me like that.

"... pray for good luck"

"... please wait for the good news. Your Majesty."

That's why I left the Throne Room and left the Empire City.
