144 135 · Weaknesses of Nigel

We were watching Nigel's performance for a while.

"Nigel is waving his sword, he's beautiful." It was very different from my sword muscles. You're as good a man as ever ~ "

Looking at Nigel, Gert is hooked.

I stayed nervous next to Gert.

"Um...... Mr. Gert"

"Oh, it's not Gert." You can say "Maria."

Mr. Gert and Mr.── Maria? He winks.

Oh, that's right.

Gert was my real name, but I wanted you to call me Maria. I'll mimic that too.

So, Maria-san, has── Nigel been like this for a long time?

Since long ago?

"Yes, I've been working hard like this..."

I shifted my gaze back to Nigel.

Although I was tired from my healing magic, I was engaged in such a fierce simulation battle. Normally, I would take a break. But Nigel soon resumed his training.

I ──suddenly wondered why I could work so hard.

"Yeah, Nigel's been like this for a long time."

and Maria answers my questions.

"Nigel has always been the best at what he does. Whether it was studying or swords, we were always at the forefront of our brothers."

That's right.

"On top of that, I try harder than── anyone else." If that's the case, ordinary people like us won't have any enemies. "

Having said that, Maria shrugged her shoulders.

"But... that's not what I thought." I wanted to go over Nigel. So while Nigel was working on something else, I kept brushing my sword arm. then I'm sure I can beat Nigel..... "

Gert-san, it's amazing.──

"Maria"

"Ma, Maria-san, she was so strong!"

He hurriedly renamed his name and continued like this.

"I don't think it would be so nice to be able to overwhelm that Nigel. I think that's because Maria has been doing her── best.”

"Fufufu, thank you. I'd be glad to hear that."

Maria smiles softly.

"But... my way of fighting is different from Nigel's." What did Elaine think? "

"I see... if Nigel's sword is the king's way, will you say that Maria──'s is irregular? I'm not saying no."

“Yeah, you're right. My sword is suitable for real battles. I was agitated by the movement and poked my opponent's surprise. That's why you can beat Nigel, right? The King's Way is vulnerable to anomalies. Maybe even now, if you don't imitate this kind of cowardice, you can't beat her."

and Maria have distant eyes.

He (she?) is humble... but it is by no means humiliating.

That's why.

"I'm not cowardly. It's a treasure that Maria wore in action.”

When I said that, Maria narrowed her eyes.

"Maria should be more proud of herself. At that age, the Commander of the Knights was also killed, right? Moreover, I was loud enough to recommend you as the next Commander of the Knights. I think it's amazing!"

"Thanks. I'll feel better talking to you."

Maria smiles again and continues to do so.

"But... I'm still not the Commander of the Knights." Adolf's old man won't admit it. Ho ho ho ho, that old man. I'm a good man, but I'm tough and stubborn with my men. "

"Is that so?" It was very kind to me..... "

That's right, in front of a girl as beautiful as you, it's just a dirty dirty dirty.

"Ki, you're so beautiful..."

"If you were a man, I wouldn't be able to leave you── alone, would I?"

Really stupid.

and Ralph sandwiched their mouths.

Of course, Maria didn't hear her, but... when she noticed that Ralph was exhaling heavily, he nodded strangely.

However, I immediately regained my mind and moved my mouth like this.

"But... even if Nigel assumes the throne right away, it's not so strange." That's the difference, isn't it? I still can't beat Nigel── after all. "

and Maria gave a lonely expression.

"Have you met any other princes?"

"No, I just met her face── once or twice." "Ladies and gentlemen, I'm busy..."

"Then try to calm down and talk to me again. Everyone thinks similarly to me."

Maria-san's expression seemed to give up on something.

But it's refreshing somewhere. I'm sure it's because of the organisation of feelings.

Of course, since Maria-san is also the second prince, she has the right to inherit the throne. It's the same for other princes.

If you say more, Cecilie has a right. That said, it's hard to imagine her crowning and sitting on the throne.

Except for Nigel, no one wants to take the throne.

That's because everyone admits to Nigel── and thinks he's the ideal prince and future king.

I heard about it, but when I talked to── Maria, I realized that it was really the case.

"Nigel is amazing. He's the perfect superman to do anything. On the contrary, the ideal prince who is kind to everyone and admired by the people."

Really?

"It's just..."

and Maria's expression clouds.

Is there anything you're worried about? and what I──think,

"──No, this is too much to think about. She doesn't have any weaknesses."

and shook his head from side to side.

Weak point──?

Hmm, what do you mean by shortcomings?

So, you like sweet things, huh?... adorable, but I don't think it's a flaw.

"Well... I wonder if it's just your fault?" Nigel, if I were you, I'd lose my cool. "

Maria joked and stood up.

"Well then... it's time for me to go." I need to talk to my father properly. "

Can I talk to you again?

"Of course, I'll be in King's Landing for a while."

and Maria waved away from me.

On leaving,

"Ho ho ho... I wonder what they're going to say about this outfit again." Because your father doesn't understand this.... "

And I was frustrated and blurred into my ear.

... after all, I'm not the only one puzzled by his appearance.

Um, maybe we should take a break.

Nigel stops practicing with one of his swords and returns to me.

Here you go.

"Gert,── if you didn't say Maria, you'd be angry." I was talking to Maria. How'd it go? The way you look and talk is a bit distinctive, but it's not a bad guy, is it? "

"Yes! He was a very good man!"

I returned it with a smile.

"Great! Elaine likes Maria, too." Next time, if there's an opportunity, the three of── us

Furahah.

As she speaks, Nigel tries to fall backwards as if he has lightheadedness.

Is that all right?

I support his body with my balls.

"Um, yeah. I'm sorry to bother you. Looks like you've been working a little too hard."

"Please take care of your own body. If you fall, everyone will be sad, not just me."

"You're right." Actually, I've been feeling a little sick lately. I'm sure it's because I'm tired.

"Oh, is that so!?" So the circus in two weeks..... "

"Of course! Until then, I'll make sure you're well." After all, it's a very important date with you. If you're in a dizzy state, it's too much! "

and Nigel were the first to create a forceful
