◇◇◇◆◇◇◇

From Bayard’s reaction, it was clear that Yana had intervened in the past relationship between Yuyoung and Bayard.

Of course, this wasn’t known for certain, but it seemed the intervention wasn’t positive.

Look at how she was reacting even now.

I frowned.

Before things became more chaotic here, I thought I should lure that thing away first.

So I immediately ran to the corridor.

Yana followed me right away.

It seemed she had even forgotten her original purpose.

Was this really loyalty? Or just self-satisfaction?

There was no way to know.

So please, save me.

I had forgotten.

Except for stopping time, I was literally nothing right now.

Damn it.

Of course, there was still my trump card of time acceleration, but the penalty for that was too severe.

It was a skill I couldn’t use unless I was truly on the verge of death.

I somehow managed to run out to the courtyard while avoiding Yana’s rampaging attacks.

I didn’t want to interfere with Yuyoung and Bayard’s meeting if I could help it, but...

Now my thoughts had changed.

Please, someone, anyone, help me.

With that thought, I deliberately went out to the courtyard, because the courtyard was visible from everywhere.

“What’s that?!”

“An intruder?!”

Fortunately, Clara and Ruby were in the courtyard.

Thanks to them, I could avoid facing that monster alone.

I shouted while looking at them.

“Get ready! It’s an enemy surprise attack!!”

“Got it! Commander!”

“I’ll give them a taste of my hammer!”

Clara and Ruby reacted immediately to my words.

The arrows Clara shot pierced Yana’s shoulder.

Thanks to that, Yana staggered and stopped.

Now was their chance.

Not missing that opportunity, Ruby rushed forward.

Ruby’s heavy iron hammer struck Yana’s shoulder.

A chilling sound of flesh tearing echoed out.

The blood and chunks of flesh that fell to the ground rotted and gave off a foul smell, but Yana didn’t care.

She swung her remaining hand and grabbed Ruby’s neck.

“Gack?!”

Though her neck was being choked, Ruby didn’t panic and calmly hung onto Yana’s arm while simultaneously raising her knee to break Yana’s hand and escape as Clara covered her.

Thanks to that, Ruby was able to regroup.

They had both become skilled enough that they couldn’t be ignored as low-ranking members of the Royal Knights.

That was probably thanks to the consistent training they had been doing until now.

Of course, their relationship was still not good, but it was closer to frenemies than enemies.

It wasn’t bad.

“Commander! What is that thing?!”

At first, I thought it served her right, but soon I changed my mind.

I hadn’t properly heard Yuyoung’s side of the story.

So, even just once, I wanted to talk to Yuyoung properly.

[I want to apply to the Royal Knights.]

[Have you finally made up your mind?]

[...Yes.]

[That path is very harsh and difficult. Will you still walk it?]

[I have no regrets.]

Some might call it foolish.

However, that was how much I thought of Yuyoung as a friend.

So, I didn’t want to give up until I confirmed it myself.

[Face reality, will you? Lady Yuyoung has abandoned you!]

[How dare trash like you, who wasn’t even chosen by the 12 tribes, think of associating with the heir of the Rat Clan?]

[In the end, you’re just trying to curry favor with the Rat Clan to secure a position for yourself, aren’t you?]

Those words that had cut into my heart like a razor blade still lingered in my mind.

Words I hadn’t cared about at first, until I met Yuyoung directly to talk.

That was why I wanted to meet Yuyoung.

Even if her followers, including Yana, rejected me, I wanted to hear directly from her and make my judgment.

But Yuyoung didn’t show up at the place we were supposed to meet.

I thought I had conveyed the message clearly, but could it be?

Were those guys’ words really true? Was that it?

“Why didn’t you come out that day?”

I finally voiced the incident I had been avoiding.

My heart was pounding.

If it was really as those guys said, if I had been discarded because I was no longer needed...

Then what should I do?

As numerous such questions were welling up like water, an unexpected response came back.

Yuyoung tilted her head.

“What are you talking about? You’re the one who didn’t show up at that place.”

She had come to the meeting place, but I hadn’t shown up, she said.

However, we remembered different places.

I had been waiting behind the school, but...

Yuyoung said she had been waiting in the herb garden inside the school.

Hearing that story, I finally felt relieved.

We had a brief conversation, but there was no more time to talk.

The noisy sound of a large commotion had been coming from outside for a while.

I smiled and said,

“Sorry, I think I have to go now.”

“Already? But I still have so much I want to talk about.”

“I have a lot I want to talk about too. But let’s talk later.”

Because I had something I needed to do now.

Just as the Commander believed in me, I would believe in the Commander.

I was able to come this far thanks to the Commander.

So, I needed to repay that.

I threw myself out the window.

That person was right in front of me.

The one who kept bullying me before, because of those memories, I had kept fearing and avoiding her.

But not anymore, because the Commander was behind me.

As long as the Commander believes in me, I will never lose.
