Chapter 170

Chapter 170. It was the time when the two sword masters (1) Arell were in full swing in the chocolate business.

Meika Jessicaville, a member of the 16th Knights of the Kingdom of Ernesia, was sick to her stomach recently.

“... I have a lot of work... I have a lot to worry about... Someone please help me...

As she murmurs meaningless words to herself, she shrugs as she looks at the mountain of papers she has to deal with instead. lied

“I'm really... how far back have I been?”

She sighed and began sorting through the papers one by one.

These are not things you have to do yourself.

In the first place, this office is not his own.

Even so, he is very accustomed to crying, but he naturally takes care of things instead.

All of these things are her boss.

This is the task the captain of the 16th Knights has to do.

‘Why do I have to do all this?!'

Complaints pop up, but I can't help it.

It's not that her boss has a bad character.

Normally, this is about this kind of work, and if the person next to me asks for it, I'll somehow sit down and whimper and handle it myself.

But...

her boss has a bad habit.

Occasionally, when he is distracted by something, he recklessly clings to it and runs amok as if nothing is in his eyes.

‘If I had known this would happen, would I have stayed in the countryside?'

Meika was a local knight until recently.

I am proud of my skills as well.

This year, at the age of 21, he entered the aura expert.

Normally, it could be said that he was a knight with skills enough to be promoted smoothly.

However, Meika's life was not very smooth.

However, perhaps because he was from a commoner and had no particular connections, until recently, he could not even look at the famous knights near the royal capital.

Her dream is to one day succeed.

His goal was to play a part in the famous Knights in the future.

Anyway, I want to get ahead.

that's her dream.

For that she worked hard.

Several years ago, he voluntarily applied to recruit an escort for the youngest prince, but unfortunately, he was rejected because there were many more talented people than himself.

One day when I missed opportunities so many times and had to live in the province.

An unexpected opportunity came.

Meika quietly recalled the incident at that time.

“Are you recommending me to the newly established knights?”

The direct superior of the Knights Order she was in at the time recommended her to the Knights Order that was supposed to be established in the royal capital on a whim.

“That’s right, Meika. You know enough about your skills, so you judge that there is nothing lacking?”

“...Isn’t it a strange order of knights by any chance? Aren’t you selling it to a strange place?”

Strangely, the boss was cold when he praised him.

I got a bit suspicious when it came up like this.

Common sense makes it suspicious when a boss who doesn't usually compliment you suddenly says something like this.

Usually, a good opportunity rarely comes to a knight staying in the countryside like himself.

Above all, Meika was calmly and well-judged about her own abilities.

Even though I have the awareness that I have good skills, I don’t think I am exceptionally good.

You know your subject well.

That's why I was even more curious.

“You really don’t want to send me somewhere strange, do you?”

For example, the 15th Knights, who are notorious for their indolence.

If you go to a place like that, it's not a promotion, it's a demotion.

I'd rather resign my knighthood on the spot.

It would be much better to farm in my hometown than to go to such a place.

“Don’t worry. It's not like that.

It will surely become a well-recognized knights in the kingdom.”

Her boss smiled bitterly and told her to be at ease.

“Above all, the person who will lead the knights is a member of the royal family.”

“Wow... royalty?!”

“It sounds too loud.”

“sorry.”

But what is this?

An unexpected opportunity came.

Even in the royal castle, it entered the knights under the direct jurisdiction of the royal family.

‘If I do well, I can become stronger.'

Above all, if the knights had the sword master, they would surely know the secret to becoming stronger.

You may finally be on the road to success that you have been dreaming of.

At this time, she was so full of hope.

But...

in terms of the result, she succeeded in life.

Somehow, he was directly singled out by that Cania Ernesia and even made him his lieutenant.

The reason was purely based on the intuition of the princess, ‘I just have a feeling that she will do well'.

For her, that was just fine.

At first it seemed like a dream.

yes only at first.

But that is the beginning of her struggles.

.... Although the maker at the time could not have imagined that at all.

‘... I would like to give advice to me at that time to just rot in the countryside for the rest of my life.'

Meika grumbled in her heart and was organizing the paperwork that Kania had to deal with.

After that, in the end, except for the important things she had to check, she was handling them moderately.

Something that shouldn't have happened in the first place.

If you don't do this, the knights won't return to normal.

Originally, this is what the army is like.

If you insist on sticking to the principles, nothing will work properly.

There are surprisingly many things that need to be submitted to the upper ranks, such as training plans and supplies, and other tasks that need to be handled with paperwork.

In particular, engineers in high-ranking positions actually spend more time sitting in the office than in the field.

For that reason, this task was important.

And if you push each of these one by one, you will eventually become unbearable.

As a result, she was able to help in moderation when it was okay to pass it in moderation.

‘...Come to think of it, did you say that leaving work to subordinates is surprisingly common in the military?'

Absurdity is familiar in the military.

sad but true

I'd rather be less unfair if that's the reason.

It wasn't because Kania was lazy or lazy that she took on the job instead.

It's

just...

It's just blinking.

Is it the freewheeling characteristic of the royal family or is it her individual personality?

At other times, even if it's a bit disappointing, he's the captain of the knights without any problems.

And what is the princess in question doing now?

Just as Meika was thinking that far, light footsteps sounded outside the hallway and the door slammed! it opened nicely.

“...The leader told me to open the door because it's broken, right?”

As if there was no need to check who it was, Meika reflexively nagged and turned her head.

Then, Kania tilted her head and looked at Meika.

“The cost of repairing the door is also coming out of our budget.”

“Lately, Meika, do you nag like Arel?”

“Even otherwise, His Highness, the 3rd prince, recently sent me a letter of sympathy. No, before that, where have you been until now?”

Even if you don't have to ask, you know what you were doing a little while ago.

Even so, the reason why I deliberately ask this is to make myself self-aware.

“You forgot the papers again?”

“ah? Sorry?.”

Kania put on a puzzled expression and apologized obediently.

“I’ve sorted things out, so please check. If you don't, I won't be able to work again.”

In addition, even his Majesty the King, who secretly came out for an inspection not too long ago, even said that he would ask for Kania's assistance, so I'm dying of burden.

My stomach hurts sincerely at the reality that the royal family is in the eyes of mere adjutants of knights.

Naturally, Kania herself did not know about this situation.

Because I was told not to speak.

Mostly in the form of pay raises.

When Meika complains, Kania hurries back to her seat and quietly starts checking the documents.
