Chapter 133

EP.133

The night on the first defense line is long.

Because the goal is to protect monsters heading to the empire, you need to pay closer attention at night than during the day.

Even now, monsters can be seen wandering around the outside of the first defense line. Amelia was watching them with eagle eyes as she ate her lunch on the castle wall.

“Ame ame!”

At that time, Charlotte came running with a bright smile.

“...!”

Amelia was shocked when she saw Charlotte with an innocent face.

“What did you bring!”

“Tonight!”

“I don’t eat orcs!”

He was carrying a huge orc several times larger than his own body on his shoulder.

Charlotte put the oak on her shoulder to the floor.

A heavy thud echoed through the castle walls.

‘...gross!’

Certainly, people in the north do not have enough food, so they often eat monster meat.

However, there were some meats that were not eaten. One of them was an orc. The taste was quite good, but regardless of the taste, it was a humanoid demon beast-

Above all, its unique and disgusting appearance makes the food taste bad.

“Oh, that’s good! “How long will I only eat Cerbers?”

“Kerker is delicious. “Please cancel that statement.”

Amelia, who was serious about food, spoke seriously. Then a thought occurred to me and my pupils got bigger.

“Did you go out Charles?”

“Of course~ There are no orcs on the castle walls!”

“When on earth... the castle gate has never been opened.”

“Should I say it is the power of love? “I love the night, so let the night hide me too.”

“....”

Amelia’s expression quickly became gloomy.

I have been monitoring trends here ever since I learned that monsters were coming to the first defense line.

Charlotte said it jokingly, but that was because she had a kind personality.

You didn’t even notice that our troops were leaving the castle gates.

‘...It would have been different if it had been my sister.’

Charlotte is the vice-captain of the 1st Knights of Windsor.

Of course, he was one of the most talented people in the North.

But even taking that into account, not being able to even feel his presence made Amelia depressed.

This may have been especially true since Charlotte’s specialty was not assassination.

“You look very worried.”

Charlotte bowed to Amelia and smiled quietly. Her pigtails gently tickled Amelia’s face.

Amelia pursed her lips slightly and then stood up as if nothing had happened.

“There is nothing to worry about. Charles. Please don’t forget. “My specialty is not sparring, but dealing with monsters.”

“Yep. It certainly is. “Even the leader can’t match Ame’s skill in killing monsters.”

“...Not like that.”

“no?”

“Because my sister is better than me in everything.”

“huh? no. “Because I’m not good at things like slashing our leader.”

“Instead, you can swing your sword at an invisible speed and cut down thousands of monsters.”

“Hmm. Ame. “Did you forget what I always tell you?”

Charlotte stroked Amelia’s head.

“You know, the simpler the sword, the better. “There is nothing better than being able to kill many enemies with a single sword strike.”

“Charles...”

Amelia said in a faint voice.

“Does the oak smell fishy?”

“uh?!”

Charlotte sniffed herself in confusion.

“A lot of me?!”

Amelia sighed.

“Wash up quickly and come back.”

“I’m so sorry!”

Charlotte jumped over the castle wall and disappeared.

Amelia, who was looking at the back in bewilderment, quietly looked at her sword.

A must-have item for every Windsor that matches their individual characteristics.

Amelia’s sword, amantite, has the effect of amplifying magical power.

Irene’s sword, Del Luna, has the effect of stealing the opponent’s vitality.

Ruid’s sword, Winter, has the power to freeze everything.

And of these, Amelia’s sword is the only one that does not require any skill.

What you need is an innate ability to release magical power.

When I thought that, Irene smiled as if she had read my thoughts.

“Can you clean it up neatly next time? “Louis.”

“...sorry.”

Ruid, who had nothing to say, answered timidly.

“Initially.”

Irene raised Luid’s face and made eye contact with hers.

Madness rose slightly within Irene’s clear walls.

“This is quite enough for a start.”

Ruid laughed awkwardly.

‘It’s a compliment...?’

Something didn’t feel that way.

But since Irene seemed to like it, I didn’t feel bad.

‘Does Irene really want me to become violent?’

Ruid was aware that he possessed enormous power.

On the contrary, it was so powerful that I was vaguely afraid of it.

Because he has the power to kill hundreds of thousands of people with a single word if he really wants to.

Ruid’s nature was lazy, but not evil.

But I’ve been feeling this way lately.

Do I really need to endure it?

How much should we tolerate and understand?

Rather, wouldn’t it be that the more he does this, the further he gets from the peace he hates so much? Wouldn’t a lot of troublesome things happen?

Wouldn’t it be simpler and better to put them to sleep by showing them an overwhelming power that they can’t dare to resist?

“Louis?”

“Oh yeah.”

“What are you thinking about?”

Ruid stopped thinking and shook his head.

“nothing.”

“I see.”

Irene looked as if she had noticed something. I smiled quietly and whispered to Ruid.

“Then let me ask you just one question, Louis.”

“huh.”

“How should we deal with the enemies who have invaded the North?”

Ruid hesitated for a moment.

But still-

Just as a person cannot change in one day, the same was true for Ruid.

“I’m going to give you a moderate scolding and send you back.”

Killing people ‘directly’.

It was still a difficult problem for Ruid.

Irene was not impatient.

He just patted Ruid’s head and said.

“I have no intention of forcing Louis to choose whatever he chooses. but-”

Irene lowered her voice.

“As expected, it would be good for Louis to lean towards me.”

It was a word whose meaning was unclear.

Irene bent her back, looked down at Ruid, and spoke with a mysterious expression.

“I’m thinking of coming back for a moment to see if Amelia is doing well. “What are you going to do Louis?”

“I want to follow my sister.”

“I’m sorry, but if Louis goes to the defensive line, the Knights of Windsor will fall for him, so I can’t allow it.”

“...okay?”

“Rather than that.”

Irene took something out of her arms.

It was a piece of paper with writing on it. When I received it, it said this:

“Isn’t there somewhere else for the tip of Louis’ cane to point?”

Knights of the Garter.

Galahad.

Ruid rubbed his eyes.

“These people haven’t come to their senses yet.”
