986 The deputy captain will change.

A selfish princess. Rumor has it that my brother-in-law, Mr. Stale, was also treated badly.... "

No, actually it was terrible. When I was invited to the ceremony, I was too attentive. "

"Hmm? But lately, I hear you're a young, smart princess."

Rumors spread.

Whether it's good or bad, it's the same. Once the bad rumor spreads, it smokes no matter how much time passes. Old-fashioned rumors will be nostalgic in a while.

Rumors come up again when I feel sick or when I'm free, and they change. It would be extra if it contained alcohol.

Pride First Princess. Rumors of the royal family were similar when they were heard, and over time, rumors came in the opposite direction.

People who listen to rumors about drinking and talking to each other don't really believe it. Say what you came up with on the spot without worrying about it, and when the wine gets cold, that's it. If he is not really interested in the rumors of the young First Princess who is quite likely to be remembered after holding drinking parties many times, he will mostly share them with alcohol.

If the "First Princess of Pride" and her name were to be discussed, I would think about something else about what to do about the training after that. By the time I got accustomed to hearing about it, the topic was about the connection between drinking stories.

'Cause it is, right? At least the current queen and royal mate are fine royalties, and they are only eleven years old even if they are called princesses. If you don't want to hear all the rumors from such a child, you don't want to waste it.

If the Queen and the King's Match were good, they would have grown up properly, and I didn't kill anyone for eleven years. Honestly, the royal issue is so far away from me that I think it has nothing to do with it.... well, I mean...

"Hmm, but I hope you'll be a good princess by the time you take over the throne.

I don't want to hate hair like a column, and I don't want to expect a 11-year-old yet.

In that sense, I guess a guy like me was closer to indifference than anyone else.

"If you discover this in the Knights, connect us immediately."

Until this time today.

The deputy commander roughed his voice at the communicators and gave instructions. The Operations Room is like a battlefield.

After returning from the outside, the column served as Captain No. 3, providing recruit protection and devising detour routes for returning home. I am giving instructions to my men to ensure the terrain and safety around the cliffs. With the Queen and King's Hand taking the 4th and half of the 3rd squadrons to the neighboring country, the backup troops were still running out efficiently.

As deputy captain, I also advised that I would still lead the team to the cliff site and rescue them, but I was rejected. That's right. However, even the knights led to the neighboring countries have reduced the number of knights in the country, and there are already enough people on the cliffs in the 10th and 2nd platoons following the advance troops.

If we deploy to the most squadron of all, the country will be weak. If there has been any damage to the recruits or the advance party to the rescue, only two are still missing. There is no way we can make Japan any worse for just two people. I know that, too.... I know, but I can't relax my jaw to tie my teeth.

The only two are the Knight Commander and Princess Pride.

"No one in my country will be unhappy."

Grab a fist and gaze at the footage as you focus on the muscles inside your face.

Unlike Squad 3 and Squad 7, which works with doctors in the ambulance building, there's not much we can do for Squad 1, which is also a forward force.

Five and six of the shooting squad. Same goes for the Ninth Corps, where half of them are left. I can only see the footage that will be sent to me in vain after I move under the direction of the deputy commander and the assistant of the 3rd Company.

Of course, the Knight Commander, but everyone in this room now wishes the First Princess well.

It's not just about the First Princess and the Knights. There's more to us now. Whatever the reason, there is no reason not to worry about the man who flew out alone to help the Knights.

I really protected the Knight Commander with a gun and a sword. I didn't make a joke out of my mouth, I really got off the cliff. If I hadn't collapsed, I'd be a hero there.

I was caught up in that move, too. Besides, it's impossible for a man who predicted the fall of a cliff himself to jump out. I don't know why the princess committed such a suicide, and they still haven't found a body, not even a body part.

"At the time of the last communication, I heard the word that the man who was with Roderick could be a psychic. Maybe there's Roderick and the others inside."

It's a faint hope.

Everyone must think so, listening to the deputy commander who connected the scene to the communication.

If Pride had any chance of winning, I don't know if it really worked. The most likely is the worst result of failure and the death of both of us.

Everyone on the spot swallowed a stubborn spit with the Knight of the Video to the deputy commander who spoke of an unnatural piece of debris that had been found.

The First Prince, who was flustered as he said he was going to the cliff earlier, is now staring at the footage. I was forcing my shaking knee to stand.

Turning to the deputy commander, Harrison came into sight at the same time. From the moment the video from the Knights Commander arrived, he sued the deputy commander directly, and he hasn't moved a step on the scene with the video biting. It seemed like I hadn't even caught up with the possibility of the Knight Commander's crisis and death, which I respected as much as the Deputy Commander.

About those two people he admired. Harrison's life and death was nothing more than that of a knight who helped him get expelled. I was out of control from that figure so that I could see it from my back. It's different from when I heard there was a death in the Knights. If I look at her face, I'm sure she's so confused that I've never seen her before.

I don't even think the words of the deputy commander that the Knight Commander may be alive have come to mind right now. It was as if my back was falling from the side as if it were a shell. If we find two bodies like this, maybe it's time for them to collapse.

Paki...

The video sounds dry.

The sound of silent air breaking your heart just jumps out. I can't afford to blink at the moment when a chunk of debris collapses before the video is sent from the scene.

Holding his breath, he held his fist as hard as he could to push and kill tension. It wasn't the movement of a natural object that collapsed from inside. Your heart gets annoyed as if a slight slice of hope was caught on your fingertips. I touched hope without saying that something that wasn't a corpse might be there.

It's not enough for me to cross Harrison's back with the invading deputy commander and the First Prince's sideways and spine, and I'll be as close to the footage as Harrison with the other knights. Maybe, no, really, until you actually see it, everybody suppresses the words, and

"Ah... it's empty, empty!"

The battlefield has risen.

It was for a moment that I couldn't make a noise, and immediately afterwards I shouted. Everyone shouts as if I didn't know what I was screaming.

You're lying, Knight Commander, and the miracle in front of you makes no sense. As everyone stood up and ate the footage, the column jumped out in an unusual hurry.

In the meantime, the reality in front of us is gradually swallowing up, screaming in words like we're on the other side of the video. The cheers rose and shook up the fist that was holding back the tremor.

Laughing at each other because it's real, but still the joy swept up and tears seeped out.

Wow! What the hell is going on? While shouting, Pride, who became muddy on the other side of the video, unilaterally turned instructions to the knights, and finally the chief of the knights sighed.

The knights who didn't know the other party was the first princess screamed all at once, and if this wasn't the case, I wanted to laugh with anger. But now I've passed all the laughter and ridiculous things, and it's just a miracle of painting my head with the worst.

It was impossible to suppress the excitement with a slightly seeped vision. If you think a sound has leaked from your open mouth, your throat is raised naturally with the fist that was swinging up. Awesome!!

"Wow, that guy is really an 11-year-old princess."

Whoever it was, it was just a rumor about my princess.

Moving your mouth with excitement, I think so too. Seriously, are there people who can do that?

I got down on the battlefield by myself, defeated all the ambushers by myself, and saved the Knight Commander by myself. I've never seen a royal dress like this. My eyes are overflowing with water, my throat crouches, and I'm so happy that I can't help it, I shoulder to shoulder with the knight nearby.

While rushing to the right and left behind the video, he handcuffed the ambushers and took the Knight Commander and Pride to a safe place where other recruits were also absent, disappearing from the video perspective.

The two disappeared without stopping cheering. Along with the knights who check the scene and the knights who report to the deputy commander, only one recruit remains collapsed. While the knight held his shoulders and laughed, the captains of the Knights were still crying behind the footage. I borrowed my shoulders from the Knights of the Corps so that they could be transported in the middle of the day, and even after the recruit disappeared from the footage, Pride's battle rose around my head.

The way you shake and fight the wavering crimson, the arm of a gun that doesn't miss a single blow, and the lightness of your body don't make you feel as realistic as you remember. The appearance from the rubble is so muddy that you can't even see the bright red. My nose and face are sticky, my makeup is off, my dress is worn out, and...

It was beautiful.

Much more than any dressed woman. Beautiful or pathetic. I've never bothered to think of a female partner before, but now I think so from the bottom of my stomach.

I'd like to make a deal, talk to him, and find out more about him. I don't care about the rumors, I don't care about the right person.

How can an 11-year-old princess win a battle without fear from a bandit and jump into a cliff crash scene? How can she become such a cool warrior?

I want to see, I want to know, I want to hear, I want to get close. I've never been so interested in knights before.

……

"... now, let's shave it up, Pride at that time is dressed up... can you believe it? I'm only eleven years old."

Sitting next to a knight with a jock on his shoulder.

I know, I know, it was amazing! At that time, I was a recruit, and the knights around me poured alcohol on my jock.

At the usual drinking party where knights were invited to the room, I could not help but talk to the people who knew the whole story of the cliff crash eight years ago today. Eric invited everyone from the same team as me to the others who were recruits at the time, but this time there are only those who put up a clamour about the incident, so don't worry about slipping your mouth to the others. I can't tell the recruits who came in later, or the knights who were in the kingdom of Anemone at the time, but it's so fun to talk without hiding that it's a drinking party between guys I know so often. The drinking party between the Kintetsu Knights was the same, but I think it would be fun to have a large number of them.

"It's been eight years since then... I haven't really felt it yet. But Pride's uproar at that time is still burning in my eyes."

"I understand! I get it! I've fallen in love with Pride all at once since I saw that fight!

"Is Captain Alan the same?! I was a recruit at the time... I'm embarrassed. I've never seen Pride standing around just by being on the scene. I was still in the country in a defense battle, and a recapture battle....."

"Ah, he was a recruit at the time. Eric said the same thing. No, Master Pride, are you really strong?!

"Really? I took a blow in the recall fight, so I'm sure of it!

Wahahahaha, the way Pride talks with a lot of laughter comes back to her eyes whenever she remembers.

I was lucky enough to see Pride's battle in the battle of annihilation, defense lines, and recapture, but if I was touched, I think the first time I saw him in the Knights ambush would be forever. Even if I told you that an eleven year-old girl had lightly defeated an ambush, I still think it was a lie. Thus, every time I talk to the knights who remember the time, the excitement of that time comes back.

It's been eight years since Pride talked like this.

At that time, the contents of the conversation in the knights' faces that gather and drink will change, but in the end, all of them will be the subject of pride. Of course there are times when I tell you, and even if not, the topic naturally rises from the knight. Especially since I am a Kintetsu Knight, I am often asked how Pride is.

Now it's also about Stayle and Tiara. Sometimes it's about the kingdom of Anemone and King Cedric's brother, but after all, immobility is pride.

"I've never seen it before! Someday, it's my dream to be proud of the gratitude and apology I gave you directly at the time."

"Ah, I see. Speaking of which, Hannes, were you a recruit then?

"Yes, just like Steve, Pride's appearance at the time is obvious to me. Beautiful and gentle... and very cute."

Also, in the next moment, the knights around them unite their voices.

As Steve laughed with Hannes, as he understood, he fainted as he remembered some other knights who were recruits at the time and others who were rushing to the scene. So is Eric, but this is the same thing as usual.

Ah, I know, they were adorable, laughing without telling me exactly what happened, while the other knights roughed up their voices.

"So what is it? That common concept!!

"I can tell from the last celebration!! That was eight years ago, right?!

"No, I think it was cute... but from that time on, Pride looked pretty grown up, didn't he? From my eyes, it feels crisp....."

I think I've been asking questions together for a while.

I think it was when I repeated similar interactions several times before while reducing the jock to half with the exciting knights.

For me, Pride was a longing from that time, and in retrospect, he looked more beautiful than Eric and the others said.

I still don't know about that common concept at the time, and perhaps there's a clawback order from the Knight Commander or Lord Pride. I know that, so I don't think I'm going to force them to listen.

Also, at the previous celebration, there were more people who were convinced after seeing Pride, who appeared with cute food. Well, it's still more beautiful than cute. The look of a 14-year-old on a top-secret inspection is so young and so cute compared to today. Well, either way, I will.

"She's beautiful, but her smiling face is so cute, Pride."

Speaking as I thought, the noisy voice stopped once.

Drink the other half while squeaking your throat, and immediately afterwards, the usual "I'm out" screaming from around you will jump up.

"You're truly honest," he said aloud, and I smiled back at you with an empty jock. The knight next to me who joined the regiment beat me with a knife, so I turned my back and took it with my fist.

Now, I can understand the "cute" pride that the recruits at the time talked about. More and more people thought it was natural and cute, such as a lit face, a shy face, a smiling face, etc.

Is it the privilege of seeing Pride's face as a Knight of the Neighborhood, or is it simply a change in mood from a defensive battle? I think so with feelings that are different from the dreams I had at that time. I'm only interested in Pride now.... ah.

Interested, in love?
