CH 102

Hey, Rubens. Are you sure you want to go through this?"

"What the hell, . I'm going to go to the bushes ......."

Rubens was now in front of the palace of Renalute.

He's waiting with a few other knights until his masters, the linemen, come out.

In the midst of all this, the knight next to Rubens spoke to him in a languid manner.

His name is Nels, a childhood friend of Rubens and Deanna.

He is a slender knight with the same brown hair and narrow blue eyes as them.

Nels continued talking to Rubens.

'...... you, of course it's about Deanna, isn't it?　I thought you guys finally started dating after Master Rid's push, but I don't think you guys have made any progress at all.　What do you think?"

"What do you think?"

His words made Rubens turn red in the face and protest in a small voice.

"I don't know what you're talking about."

'Huh,...... that's the kind of place I'm going to be ...... about. 　　Think about how we feel, who have decided to support you and Deanna. Every knight looking at you, including me, is going to get sick."

The knights around him seemed to be listening to Nels' words and nodded quietly.

He continued as if to fold up his words.

" You know, she's the only girl who belongs to the Order.　I don't think Deanna will abandon you, but there are a lot of knights who are after Deanna. The reason these knights looked after you is because Deanna was devoted to you. Do you understand?"

The surrounding knights nodded silently at Nels' words.

Rubens, seeing this, said with an expression of displeasure on his face.

'That's ...... something I had a feeling about, but I knew it ...... was so."

'The man was a very good swordsman, but when it came to Diana, he was so dull and insensitive⁉ You dull knight."

Nels' words were harsh, but he did not mean them seriously.

Rubens understands that he is saying this because he is worried about them.

However, he was a bit indignant at the term "insensitive slack-jawed knight.

"sure, I'm not very good with colorful love affairs. But that doesn't mean you can't talk to me that way."

"I'm a little angry, aren't I?　But I'm angrier than that, Rubens. But I'm even angrier, Rubens. You, me and Deanna go way back. You're not the only one who has a thing for Deanna."

"...... what...?"

Rubens was upset when he realized what he meant.

Rubens had always talked to Nels about Deanna.

He had no idea he had feelings for her.

He was not even aware of it.

Nels said to Rubens, as if he could see right through him.

". When I heard that you two had started dating, I thought, 'Now I can give it up,' but you two haven't made any progress. If this keeps up, I won't be the only one. The other knights who are after Deanna are going to start making moves on her, too, you know?　Are you okay with that?"

"...... not good. I will never give Deanna to them ."

Rubens said forcefully, glaring at Nels.

He is too heated to realize that he is shouting in a ridiculously loud voice.

Nels further provoked Rubens, who was getting hotter and hotter.

'Hmmm Then, can you tell us, who are here, how much you like it?　You're an insensitive knight?""

Rubens would not normally go along with his cheap provocation.

Rubens took a deep breath as he looked around at Nels standing in front of him and the few knights who were silently watching this scene.

. I'm a clumsy man with nothing but swordsmanship. That's why I can only say it like this: ...... I love Deanna, I love her more than anyone else in the world , and I want her."　

After Rubens said this, there was silence in the room.

But let me correct one thing.

He did not "say" anything.

He shouted with all his might in a loud, stupid, angry voice that could be heard even in the middle of a battle, as if he was a knight-errant.

Those who know nothing about it would wonder what was going on.

Nels and a few other knights who heard what he said felt their ears perk up.

At that moment, Nels and the other knights rolled their eyes at the figure that appeared behind Rubens.

'...... do you like that Deanna that much?"

'Oh , I love Deanna more than anyone else in the world,.......'

Rubens turned around as he said it, trying to answer the question from behind with all his might, but he lost his words in the process.

There she was, Deanna.

She coughed and then asked the question again.

',...... please clarify again."

"I love Deanna more than ...... anyone else in the world."

Rubens turned bright red as he told Deanna how he felt.

When Deanna finished listening, she jumped into Rubens' arms..

'Thank you, Rubens. I love you too. ...... ."

This was the moment when their world was completely formed.

Nels, who had provoked them, and the knights who had been watching, all turned to white sand in the light of their world and were about to crumble.

A presence appeared there to pull them back from such a world.

: "Fools, what are you doing here in broad daylight?　

Rubens, Deanna, and the other knights in the sand were startled by the figure that appeared with the voice. They instantly stood erect and immobile. What appeared there was a bloodthirsty Reiner. He glared at Rubens and Deanna and shouted in a voice that sounded like a mixture of dismay and disgust. "What are you yelling in front of the palace, the heart of Renalute, and your exchange echoed throughout the room.

He shouted with all his might in a loud, stupid, angry voice that could be heard even in the middle of a battle, as if he was a knight-errant.

Those who know nothing about it would wonder what was going on.

Nels and a few other knights who heard what he said felt their ears perk up.

At that moment, Nels and the other knights rolled their eyes at the figure that appeared behind Rubens.

'...... do you like that Deanna person that much?

'Oh ministry, I love Deanna more than anyone else in the world,.......'

Rubens turned around as he said it, trying to answer the question from behind with all his might, but he lost his words in the process.

There she was, Deanna.

She coughed and then asked the question again.

',...... please clarify again."

I love Deanna more than ...... anyone else in the world.

Rubens turned bright red as he told Deanna how he felt.

When Deanna finished listening, she jumped into Rubens' chest.

'Thank you, Rubens. But I love you too. ...... ministry."

This was the moment when their world was completely formed.

Nels, who had provoked them, and the knights who had been watching, all turned to white sand in the light of their world and were about to crumble.

A presence appeared there to pull them back from such a world.

"Fools, what are you doing here in broad daylight?　

Rubens, Deanna, and the other knights in the sand were startled by the figure that appeared with the voice.

They instantly stood erect and immobile.

What appeared there was a bloodthirsty Reiner.

He glared at Rubens and Deanna and shouted in a voice that sounded like a mixture of dismay and disgust.

"What are you yelling in front of the main palace, the heart of Renalute, and your exchange echoed throughout the place ?

"I'll be right there, sir."

Both Diana and Rubens were surprised by Reiner's words, but they ran happily toward the castle town.

What awaited the remaining knights was Rainer's anger.

'......Well, what about you?　The man who provoked Rubens' fool?"

The silent knights all pointed at Nels.

"⁉ Everyone was having fun while listening to him, weren't they?"

The exchange between Nels and the knights around him brought Rainer's anger to its peak.

"I'm not going to let you get away with this."

◊

After this day, Renaloute was the only one who could be in charge.

After that day, two rumors began to circulate in Renalute.

One, it became a topic of conversation among the women of the country that the Knights of Bardia have a "knight who cries out for love in the heart of another country.

Second, Count Rainer Bardia is a "love preacher" who follows the "knight who cries out for love in the heart of another country.

As an aside, this rumor never went away.

Within Renalute, it became a famous legend and was spared down among the people.

As a result, it is said in later years that the number of women in Renalute who wanted to marry a knight of the Knights of Bardia increased year by year because of this rumor.

Based on this anecdote, a stage play was later produced in Renalute titled "The Preacher of Love and the Knight Who Crie.s Out for Love in the Heart of Another Country," which was very popular.

The play became so popular that it was even performed in the imperial capital of Magnolia , but that is another story. .....
