CH 110

What⁉ Yes, yes, I'm sure that's right. ......

I was in the middle of a conversation earlier when Lacis came in, and I got sidetracked from Eltia's discussion.

Just as I was about to resume the conversation, I heard a soldier's voice in the room.

"I would like to say a few words, sir. The person named Nels, who belongs to the Bardia Knights, is here to escort Master Rid. What would you like to do?"

"Nels?　Well, who is he?"

Unfortunately, I can't remember the faces of everyone in the Knights of Bardia.

The only people I have contact with are Rubens and Deanna.

But he must have come as a substitute for Deanna.

I nodded to Fara, who was looking at me as if to confirm.

After Fara confirmed my nod, she replied to the soldier and let "Nels" pass.

Soon, outside the room.

Perhaps he came to the front of the sliding door.

He did not open the sliding door, but first identified himself on the spot.

"I am sorry, . I am the knight Nels, belonging to the Bardia knighthood. I have been instructed by Rainer-sama to escort Master Rid to the room of the Fara woman. Therefore, may I please enter the room of Princess Fara?"

I heard a male voice.

At this moment, I was startled.

I see that all the knights except Deanna are male.

I asked while looking at Fara and Asuna.

"I am sorry, I think there were only male knights other than Deanna. Is it okay if I let them enter?"

They looked at each other and then nodded.

Then Fara said to Nels, who was behind the sliding door.

'Knights of Bardia, Knight Nels, you are permitted to enter."

'Well then, excuse me ."

He opened the sliding door and entered.　

His hair was brown and his eyes were blue, but I was struck by his narrow eyes.

I recognized him.

I had the feeling that I had often seen him with Rubens and Deanna on the way to Renaloute.

He approached me slowly.

"As I told you earlier, Master Rainer has instructed me to escort Master Rid. Please allow me to remain in the close vicinity until Deanna's return."

Nels looked over at the three of us and bowed.

I said something to him.

"Okay. I will look after you from now on. And you don't have to be so timid. You are good friends with Rubens and Deanna, right?　I've seen you and Rubens get into it from time to time."

"Thank you very much. I am very happy to hear you say so, Master Rid. And ......?"

"And ......?"

Nels glanced at Fara and Asuna and said with a smile.

"I have heard that Princess Farah is very pretty and is a perfect match for Master Rid. I was hoping to meet her at least once, so I am very honored to be her escort."

....." Nels, what are you talking about out of the blue?"

I told him to be careful, coughing at Nels' unexpected words.

Farah blushed at Nels' words and turned her head over, her ears going up and down.

Asuna didn't change her face in any particular way, but I think she was looking at Nels as if to observe him.

I blushed a little and coughed, and told him to be careful.

"...... Nels, you know, it's nice to be told that you look good together or that you're honored, right?　I'm not sure if it's a good idea to be so blunt, but if you say it to our faces, it makes me and Farrah a little embarrassed. I'd like you to be patient with me there. "......

When Nels saw that Fara and I were both blushing, he said, as if he had guessed what was going on.

"I'm glad to hear that you two are already having feelings for each other. In fact, I know some people who have made very slow progress. ......"

I muttered in my heart, "Another superfluous word ......" at his words.

But I had an idea of the people he was referring to who were slow to make progress.

Perhaps it was those two.

Nels continued.

"I was worried that you might be under the influence of those two. No, it was a sincere intervention. I am very sorry."

He seemed so aloof and lighthearted, but I felt no aversion to his words.

If Rubens had said the same words to me, I might have said, "Who are you to talk like that?

What I feel from his words is not anger but disgust.

I let out a sigh and said,

"Haa......, that's enough. But be careful what you say next time, okay?　Especially since this is the center of another country, right?"

"Yes, I understand. "

Nels replied to my words with a smile.

He turned to Fara and Asuna and spun his words languidly.

". I am very sorry for my outburst."

He bowed his head in apology.

Fara called out to him, looking a little embarrassed.

"I am sorry for the trouble I have caused you," ......But more importantly, has there already been talk of such a thing within the Knights ......?"

Nels said softly, smiling as he heard Farah's words.

'Yes, . Since the two of them, Master Rainer and Master Rid, met with Princess Fara, they have been smiling very much. And I have also heard from Deanna that the two of you are getting along very well. Therefore, there is a lot of talk within the Order that Princess Fara is a very good match for Mr. Rid."

"I see. I and Master Rid are a good match. ......"

Fara smiled happily at his words and turned her head.

She blushed and put her hands on her cheeks.

And she is moving her ears up and down and seems to be about to say "caw ministry" at any moment.

She is probably happy that someone other than us is saying this to her.

I couldn't help but smile at the sight of her.

But is Nels aware of what he is doing or is he a bit of a natural?

I think it's amazing how easily he can say things that would make your mouth water.

In a way, should I learn from him?　

Just when I was thinking that, Asuna, who had remained silent until now, said to Nels in a stronger tone.

"Nels-dono, I have been watching you from a while ago, and your movements are flawless. How strong are you within the Order?"

"?" "

I was taken aback by Asuna's words.

The question was asked, Nels answered aloof.

"Is it strength?　Yes, . If I were to put it plainly for Asuna-dono, I would say that I am above Deanna, on par with Rubens, or maybe even a little below him."

"I'm sure you have great ability, after all. 　" If i had chance i wanted to have a fight with you "

Asuna said as if to tell all of us present.

Nels remained calm even after hearing those words.

Fara didn't seem to have heard and was still blushing and smiling and moving her ears up and down.

In the midst of all this, I took a deep breath and said to Asuna and Nels, "

"absolutely no ".
