172 Young admiration

- In prison (Grandmother Cynthia's perspective)

"Me, I'll be a knight! For a nice knight like your wife!

I remember the words that that girl said innocently at a young age.

It was the words that made me smile out of my mouth when I heard that...... not.

'Stop it. Now is not the time for a woman to fight with her sword.'

It was a euphemism. And more than half of them are pre-built.

In the first place, this country began to recognize female knights because they have been exposed to the threat of Kivela on a recurring basis. Especially the predecessor King Kivera was an ambitious man and had to strengthen his guardianship.

Never from emotions like 'admiration' or 'lovely'. It was patriotism that made us choose the blood-smelling path.

No matter how many generations he was a knight's lineage, he would be in trouble if there were no more than a minimum number of boys inheriting the house. It's not funny that the house is interrupted due to a focus on responsibility.

Except for me in my case, I only have one brother. I didn't need a political marriage. That's why I knighted the house, to protect the country.

Of course, I didn't have the bottom line of wanting merit from it either...... But I think it was necessary because the greed provided food to overcome the harshness.

I'm not a great person, like in a story, even if I'm wrong.

It's not such a sweet world that women can just admire it.

Yet my granddaughter wants to be a knight admiring all the good things I did as a knight, meeting my husband, etc.

Not really, I didn't ask you if you said that such luck was rare.

I guess there was also an admiration for Faircrove in that context. The three brothers of Faircrov, who seem a little older, also have a promising future from having their father in the royal family.

If you had told me about your first love story, your brilliant pedigree, and your good looks, you would have been an irresistible presence not only for women, but also for parents with near-age daughters.

Because of this, the daughters and their daughters did not condone my son's reckless wishes. No, the father was more than happy. "Contact with Faircrov would be more advantageous than the others," he said.

All I can say is foolishness.

You think Faircrov can't spot such thoughts in that house!

Even so, my husband is already dead, and I live in seclusion far away.

It seemed annoying, and it was only natural that the daughters and their wives, the current masters, should be stronger if contact was minimized.

My daughter... I think she was happy with her daughter's wishes because she knew what she looked like when I was a knight. Although there would have been a side to it because she is a sweet mother to her daughter.

My daughter, who is only a courtier, has never had a sword or anything. I guess I couldn't make the right decision because I couldn't possibly know the readiness of the person with the weapon, its harshness, etc.

We didn't consciously bring a blood-smelling story to our home. I never thought about it, such as how it affects you in this way!

Exhale deeply. I am sorry for your husband, and for those who were the victims of that child.

"... looks like this one. Shall I stay with you, too?

If I turned my face to a modest voice, the butler who served me for years looked at me carelessly.

This man also thanked his husband and told me he would serve his whole life... I guess he feels really sorry for this one too.

"No, I'm fine. I have to face the shame of the house."

Reject clearly and look forward. It was the cell, the corner of it, that led me here by the accompanying knight.

Dim There lay the 'sinner', who had just been captured earlier, wrapped in a crude blanket and leaned over. When you come to the front of it, you speak to the sinner inside.

"... face up, Cynthia"

Her granddaughter, who slowly raised her face, was not the usual confident-filled expression, but rather frightened and frightened.

"Lady..."

"This, fool! I didn't know you were a knight but you painted mud on His Majesty's face... how far did you think you were going?"

There is no word of reflection from Cynthia, who bites her lips and leans down, even though she flaunts her shoulders. I grew more and more disappointed in that appearance.

"What you admired is a sinner who wields power and falls into dislikes. So is this ending satisfactory?

"Chi, no......"

"If it's a story, it's a villain. I was tried for sin, I lost everything, I even disparaged my house... is that even an excuse? That it has truly turned out to be a rotten, ugly being of sexual roots"

Because you don't even feel guilty. To add so darkly, Cynthia has never looked at me before.

It's not regret floating there, it's frustration. I don't know if it was due to humiliation or irritation with my words, but I still didn't seem willing to honestly admit my sins.

... I guess I still don't understand the meaning of the earlier acquittal. Even though what is brought to its end is by no means a warm punishment.

"You... never tried to admit me. No matter how much you are recognized around you, even when you say you will be a knight......!

"I don't have anything to admit, so of course."

"Huh..."

Cynthia gets a frightened look when she returns it immediately. I lay down my words even more.

"You are nothing but an aristocratic lady who only admired knights. This would not have happened if we had understood at all the strictness of disciplining ourselves and the responsibilities associated with our position."

I can't argue, Cynthia stays silent. I know you think of it as a denial of all the time so far, but that's the culprit of it all.

"You were spoiled by your parents and you grew up with no freedom. There can be no such thing as a knight on the side who gives precedence over his position and devotes himself to people who have lived in such childhood. It doesn't mean she's a woman, does it? There are many who become knights because every house has to get out of the house and stand up for itself except for the man... he is completely unconscious with you who can easily go back home"

If you are to be the son-in-law of your daughter, you must also be the future owner of the house, so you cannot just live in peace. Because the burden of carrying the history of the house awaits.

But Cynthia isn't. It presupposes the sweetness of 'I can always go back' instead of 'No Later'.

Besides, my parents are on my side, so I would have used the power of the house and all I could. Because even as a parent, I don't want to make my pretty daughter struggle.

"The beauty of appearance will also be the main reason that we were recognized around us. If you've never been personally tasked with a mission, it's nothing more than because you've been spotted incapacitated. You can't let my parents get hurt or anything."

……

"Quite Strength" and "Beauty of Appearance" and "Power of Home". There are verses in which those who were on Cynthia's side had an overall appreciation of them. Especially "Beautiful Female Knight" may have felt like seeing the characters in the story.

There is a love story between a princess and a hero in this country... Cynthia and Lord Siegfried would have looked good if they saw it on those admirable assumptions. Such surrounding perceptions made this child extra reminiscent.

You didn't even think so. Cynthia was stunned. But that's reality.

Eyes on Cynthia's appearance again. If we are going to be strength supremacist, the more dangerous the task entrusted to us will be. Then it is close to impossible to maintain well-maintained hair and skin.

Well, if you're going to use that beauty as a weapon to gather information, it will take time to take care of it. However, even in that case, it would not be sufficient as a courtesan. Obviously, it makes a difference.

At least I can't just get my hands on it. I can't keep my lazy fingers or anything, including my daily workouts. Exactly Cynthia's fingers were the hands of those with weapons, but everything else is well cared for.

... It seems that this child's contemplative female knight is also important in appearance. Is that more important than polishing yourself as a knight?

"You've come to show yourself to me sometimes. Every time I was disappointed, 'Is it still a decorative, knightly impersonation'? Because I'm the one to be compared."

"What is it?"

"Is it the way things think? Even if the injury can be cured, it will be an experience, and life as a knight will also be a re-beating of her sweetness as a courtier. You haven't changed. Nor will this happen without the underlying perception that 'I am better' … it is' perception as a nobleman '."

Bring in your consciousness as a nobleman and you will naturally have a rub. Because I can't put myself in the same line as a knight.

Cynthia probably made an effort to be a lady too, but I guess the fact that there was home intervention didn't really put her in a tough situation. That distorts Cynthia's perception that she 'worked hard as a knight'.

I should have put myself in a situation where I didn't consider my identity at all for about a year, even if it was a risk to my life.

That would have been a good opportunity to choose whether to stay or quit.

"Besides... if I hadn't tried to admit it, would you have done anything but admit yourself? Were you able to acknowledge the efforts of others, not just yourself or those you admire? No, I guess I was able to step on it because I didn't."

Exhale into Cynthia leaning down to think. Now, from reflection, the hand of punishment can't be loose.

Above all... in the future, not only the perpetrators, but also their parents will be exposed to scandal and curiosity. There's no escape, no one.

"Shall I tell you just one thing, Cynthia? I was looking at the sight earlier with magic props. Someone I've known for a long time said," You should know. "

You remembered, Cynthia warped her face. I don't know if that's humiliation or fear.

"Lord Siegfried was there, too. He didn't pay any attention to your condition or anything. You looked proud of your sire and fiancée's words.... Doesn't matter if you look miserable or beautiful, just the perception of a sinner"

Cynthia shivers at 'reality' poked at her again. But I won't forever realize if I don't tell this stupid daughter what she's worth.

"Lord Siegfried will instantly discern what Faircloff's blood is strong, his essence, etc. Besides... he's not what you think he is. You know that from earlier, right?

"I am indifferent to what is worthless to me". He's probably like that.

Otherwise, you'll do enough to give me a disgusting look. Not even that, no. Because of the perception that 'I painted mud on His Majesty's face', even if there were feelings of disgust.

Naturally, I am unconscious as a woman. Because it was a problem before that for him. Ironically, I guess it was the first time I was recognized as an enemy.

"Poor kid, stupid daughter. If you were truly a knight, you would have been able to spot it."

That's not just Lord Siegfried, I can tell you against the Illfena sorcerer that he's my fiancée.

She manipulated that place by words. Of course, it is a great deal that His Majesty and the others had forgiven. But.

I was laughing. While I was aware of what I was doing, I enjoyed it!

When I realized it was sincerely horrible, a tremor came. And I wondered... if that was really a magician.

I'm sure that girl can calmly take the best way out on the battlefield. Because he chose his own words while watching the perpetrators respond and let them hunt him down.

Instead of reading the determined words, he thought on the spot, incited it, and perhaps took it in the direction desired by the country. It is also as the right of those who are about to become victims.

I don't care what you think. I'm not a woman of my age. Though temporarily, I don't think the word 'excellent' will clear up anyone who will try to fight His Majesty or His Highness the Chancellor.

"Cynthia, did you guys... rip your fangs off to 'what'?

"Huh?"

"Fiancée of Lord Siegfried...... fiancée? No way......"

My anxiety spreads to the possibility that I surfaced unexpectedly.

Cynthia responds to my soliloquy, but I'm not that close. Something cold tells my back about the horrible predictions.

"Fiancée". What if that bracket was called "Guardian"?

Heroic lineage, but also Siegfried, a strong man who takes over that blood in color. He would be a good fit.

I had heard we were very close, so I had never come to that idea before. But suppose you played it intentionally and hid your original position...

"We have to tell everyone..."

We have to tell the perpetrators' relatives about this possibility.

I warn you not to show emotion that you should not differ as to any punishment.

If my predictions were correct, the punishment of the country would also be quite severe in the sense of convincing her. He's the one who has to.

Even if all of you, including His Majesty, hold back the wrath of the Mage, protesting and so forth will be in vain.

In that case, the country is the target. Now the rumored magician is dealing with a country called Kivela!

"Oh, ma'am!?

Notice and gaze at the bewildered voice calling. I said what I wanted to say, after that, this kid just accepts punishment. And I guess I'll spend the rest of this on reflection and regret.

"You won't be seeing me anymore. You reflect on your stupidity. Nice, Cynthia."

That's all I tell you and walk away early enough. After that, it depends on the person… most importantly, the punishment from the country has not yet been mentioned. We just talked about this any more, and that kid will only speak of excuses.

Speaking briefly to the butler who was waiting for me about the possibility, I was just out of line. Depending on the punishment to be handed down in the future, we need to contact everyone... I see a lucky young man on the way home thinking about that.

"... Lord Keith?

"Huh? Oh, what if... Bartlett's"

"Yes, this is Cynthia's grandmother."

The other guy seemed confused for a moment, but soon he seemed to know who I was. I have heard that he is also close to the Faircrov family and His Excellency the Chancellor. Then there is no wonder you know it as information.

Above all, he should have been Lord Siegfried's childhood tame. I also hear you saw where you were with 'her', so you were more than likely to answer my question as well.

"I'm really sorry about this. My grandson has troubled you."

Deeply bowing his head, Lord Keith laughs like trouble.

"Keep your head up, please. Speaking of which, I have heard from His Excellency the Chancellor that you were once an excellent knight. Well, did she aspire to knight by admiring you?"

"It was a long time ago. As one of the few female knights, I was protecting the queen of the day."

Still, I still remember the pride of the day. I'm sure it won't disappear until you die.

And I corrected my posture and gazed at Lord Keith. Lord Keith tightens his expression to see if he felt anything, too.

"I want to ask you something. Lord Siegfried's fiancée, the sorcerer... isn't she a magician?

"Why would you do that?

"I was in the other room watching what happened during my earlier glance. You used to call me familiar. From what I can tell, he doesn't really look like a magician."

Lord Keith slipped away from his gaze and silenced because he knew I was a knight. I think it still looks like that.

It will be His Majesty's will not to publish it. Then you can't splurge with him.

So with that attitude...... he is teaching me in the form of silence. That prediction is correct.

"... I'm sorry. I've had enough."

Deeply sighing, Lord Keith lowered his head small. Don't worry about it. Smile, meet gently and move on with your legs again. With the bitter air, we arrived on our way home.

- In a room (Keith point of view)

"What's up, Keith?"

When I got back to my room, I sighed. Sieg noticed me calling. I was looking at this one wondering if anything had happened to the other guys.

"Hey, that woman... it seems Miss Cynthia's grandmother was called by someone."

"Oh, because even my parents were in custody on this one. Did they call you in the guardian frame?"

Alf reacted instantly, and when he said so, there was air like 'I'm sorry' flowing among everyone.

Female knights stay fairly talkative if they are good for a small number. The former lords and wives of the Bartlett family were quite well known as the few examples of them both serving as Kingsguards.

In a way, it can be described as an admiration. Because even Irfena rarely has a couple as close guards.

Well, Irfena will have more difficulty getting women close to home than this country, and there will be circumstances where she doesn't have much of a desire to marry on the proud side of her. You think it's caused by strong perceptions such as being a good enemy and companion rather than a couple, and not developing in the direction of love?

"So, why does the deputy look like that?

I sigh again at Bill's inquiry. Remember I couldn't cope with the sudden, and I had an attitude that could be described as silent affirmation.

"They say your daughter is a magician... maybe she'll find out."

However, you won't even find out what Mizuki's nature is. I think you simply saw the Magic Master as a disaster in the world and feared.

No, I actually feel so many times better about that.

Anyway, that young lady enjoyed herself as an entertainer. If you're going to imitate something funny with this, you must hit your next hand just wondering if you're going to play.

Ilfena's Master of Magic is a pretty troubled child... "Justice? What's that delicious? It is wrong to expect favors or something from a guy who throws up the 'dialogue with vegetables.

The criterion is only one point: 'how can it be more fun'. Please, I sincerely hope that you will stop torturing me here.

"Bartlett... Lord Nora. Then you'll notice."

"Huh!?

Everyone, including me, saw Zeke in the following Zeke words. You don't have to look at it to find out, everyone must be stunned. Sieg, by contrast, nods yummy at his words.

"Sieg? You, do you know Lord Nora?

Dark: 'Even if you had the opportunity to know as information, how could you remember someone else!?' Asked Sieg, 'Sieg nodded impeccably.

"Oh. I have heard from my uncle that the number of women who have gone up to Kingsguard is small and that they had tremendous trust from the Queen at the time. He was strong and honest."

"Uncle... Oh, you mean His Excellency the Chancellor. No, that's not what I'm trying to say.... you, you remember it right?

"I think you're a respectable senior while you're a woman, huh?

It doesn't seem like Sieg, who answers sayingly, is lying. He sincerely admitted to Lord Nora. He remembers it as information as long as he's hooked on his values.

"That woman, when she finds out about this, she's out of her mind."

"Bill, let's not go out of our way to say it"

"Stop means you think so too!

I thought to myself as I listened to the whisper and the repetition around me.

- I'm glad your daughter's not here.
