Episode 60

And it was when I was doing that. Sir Davery trudged up and picked up a rolling sword on the ground.

“Oh, no. It looks like I can’t use this now.”

Then he seemed to be grumbling, and the next moment he pulled up his back, narrowing the gap with Mag Jaang, whispered something to him.

What’s noteworthy was the reaction that Mag Jaang showed afterwards. He heard something and his face suddenly turned blue then he stepped back and turned around and ran away from his seat.

“Hiii, hiiikkkk!”

Without forgetting his ugly state, he ran away that way.

“…?”

I stared at the opponent’s empty space, which had simply run away in a flash, and soon looked back at Sir Davery.

“What did you say?”

“I didn’t say much.”

‘He didn’t say much, but a man ran away like he heard a confession from a ghost.’

His face was very blue like confetti.

Sir Davery smiled at my words and soon shrugged.

“Just in case he doesn’t know, I gave him a good precedent.”

“A precedent?”

“The first person who acts in front of you, without knowing his subject nor his place, and what he looks like by now.”

Huh?

Don’t tell me…

‘Was it Rigaa Kami?’

He was the only one that came to mind.

Come to think of it, the story of a young man, who ruined his life while trying to make a dirty and unspeakable joke on me, must have been stained with the rumour in the capital for a while.

‘Aha, that’s why he ran away.’

He didn’t want to be in that position by mistake.

At any rate, when you threaten someone with force, you need to be always faster and more alert than anyone else.

‘Ck ck’

As I kicked my tongue, Irene, who was leaning against the wall, staggered from her seat.

I quickly helped her.

“Are you okay?”

“I’m, I’m okay. I just relax my tension a little bit.”

“Did he hit you before I saw him?”

“No.”

That’s a relief.

Then I saw something at the feet of Irene, who shook her head.

‘A wig?’

The hair looked quite soft, but it was a red man’s wig, which has a bit of a slight mistake in the dyeing process.

Did he just stumble and drop it?

Anyway, I’m going to pick it up because it’s someone else’s, but Irene was a step faster than me. Irene was surprised to find a wig that had fallen, but soon picked it up in a hurry and gathered it in her arms.

‘……Hmm? Why does it feel like she was trying to read my mind?’

I don’t think a wig is a strange thing that shouldn’t be seen, is it just me?

“Oh, well, thank you very much for your help.”

“Well, of course, anyone would have done it.”

“With that young man a little ago…”

“He’s not a young man, he’s a young jerk.”

I simply corrected it.

It’s a waste of honorifics to be used for such a guy. Even the person who made the honorifics would be sad.

Irene seemed to be in a crisis that almost burst into laughter, but she bit her lips and continued to endure her laugh.

“…ah, with that jerk. I was introduced to him and met him for a while.”

“Such.”

‘Shouldn’t she end her relationship with the person who introduced them?’

“It’s only for a very short time.”

At this time Irene glanced at me and quickly added words.

I got the impression that the remark somehow caught up as an excuse.

‘Why would she do that?’

It’s only natural to meet people and break up.

‘Is it because she’s embarrassed?’

Was she ashamed of her past for dating such a hot-tempered jerk?

Well, then it’s not that I don’t understand.

Still, it was all the fault of the man who blew up like a firecracker because of his explosive personality, and I couldn’t say anything wrong with Irene who met him.

I thought about it and suddenly realized.

‘Oh, no, I mean… Is it because of Ash?’

Come to think of it, Irene once revealed her feelings for Ash in front of me and spit them out. She said she sent Ash a handkerchief and a joint letter with embroidery that she made herself. She blamed me for not receiving a reply.

“Did you think that he would feel bothered if you meet another man?”

I keep Irene looking into my eyes.

She couldn’t look straight at me so she looked down at her neat kiln, which was revealed by the wind. Even if this is the right answer, there is no change in my opinion that it is not an excuse.

I don’t think there can be any obligations, responsibilities, or restrictions for unrequited love. It’s too cruel and harsh.

‘Moreover, I’m in a situation where the other person (Ash) doesn’t even know my heart, even more.’

Unnecessary pity rose and I swallowed a sigh. Is this a fellow soldier? I opened my mouth pretending to know nothing.

“Did you break up now?”

“I had clearly expressed my intention to do so.”

“That’s understandable, so you ran into him today?”

Irene nodded.

‘So, he didn’t mean to go to a party.’

“You’ve had a hard time with that jerk. He wouldn’t do that again if he had ahead, but if the other person is going to retaliate later, then I’d be happy to sell my name again.”

“Thank you again for your consideration.”

Irene, who answered like that, continued to show signs of hesitation. She made eye contact with me and then lowered down her gaze, she opened her lips then closed them again. I don’t know what she was hesitating about, but after much hesitation, words came out as if she had made up her mind.

“……I’m really sorry about the last time.”

It was a small voice.

Then Irene bowed her head again and quickly got out of the alley.

I gazed away at the little body that was diligently drifting away like that day.

“Has she done anything wrong before to you, my lady?”

“What…….”

I lifted my shoulders and let it go in a minute.

“It wasn’t a big deal.”

I’ve decided to dismiss it off like that from now on. Since I received this apology. I’m in trouble, too, because I have a weak heart.

“By the way, she seems to have come out without any attendants.”

I thought for a moment about Irene who disappeared from her position. Irene seemed to go out to market by herself without a maid or escort. I thought she was with that crazy kid, but she said no.

‘Did she sneak out?’

No matter how bad the security of the capital city is, it was hard to find an unadulterated noble to be out in the street alone.

I thought a little more and stopped it soon. Anyway, the answer to the problem won’t be out.

“Shall we go back?”

The sun was slowly setting. I got out of the alley, looked up at the sky, and lightly started to rhyme. But as soon as that happened, Sir Davery’s complexion suddenly went down.

“What? Like this?”

“Why do you look like you suddenly lost your empire?”

“Sword shop….”

Oh, really.

><><><><><><><><><

When I returned home from the rest of ‘the business’, it was right after the sun had set. I returned to the mansion, had dinner, rested for a while, and completed a letter I had not received before going out.

Then I tried to mail the letter to Viscount Grace through a person, and there was a sudden sensation of uproar outside. As I looked out of the hallway window, I could see the cause of the disturbance at a glance.

‘Training field?’

At this time, I could see the knights huddled together in the training field.

‘Doesn’t the training end during the day?’

Knights’ regular training is usually completed while the sun is up. The risk of injury during training has increased after dark as the sunsets. It’s not completely dark yet, but it’s still evening.

Looking down at the noisy scene with a slight wonder, Alex, who had just been handed a letter from me, followed me outside and opened his mouth.

“So who’s going to be the winner this year?”

“Winner?”

“The hunting competition.”

I recalled something I had forgotten for a moment at Alex’s words.

‘That’s right.’

The hunting competition.

‘There was an event like that.’

During the harvest festival, a big festival that encompasses the whole country, not only the people of the country but also the Imperial Family take part in it.

During the harvest festival, there were two events hosted by the Imperial Family, each of which was a hunting contest and a ball.

The harvest festival is just around the corner, which means that there are not many days of the hunting competition left. As if to announce the beginning of the festival, the first day of the harvest festival was a hunting competition.

‘So, is that a pre-exercise for the hunting competition?’

When I looked closely, I could see several knights set targets in a corner of the training hall. Perhaps it was made by hand, it was somewhat crude.

No, what are they so eager for? I’m sure it wasn’t like that last year, and while I thought so, Alex said.

“Until now, the Crown Prince has won the honour of winning every time in a row, but this year I don’t know.”

It was a meaningful word. Somehow, my neck and shoulders seemed to have a lot of strength.

“This year’s hunting competition will be a little different. Even the crown prince would be so nervous too. Isn’t that right, my lady?”

Alex asked me for consent. I understood everything when I heard it. Yes. This year’s hunting competition at the harvest festival…

‘Ash is participating.’

He didn’t participate until last year. No, he couldn’t.

Hunting competitions held by the imperial family were only eligible for participation by noblemen or knights who had passed their adulthood. Ash has his adulthood ceremony this year. It was only from this time that he could be listed as a participant.

‘That’s why the knights are suddenly so eager to practice.’

Ash had a significant record of winning a hunting competition, and if they don’t even get the basics, it won’t stand a chance.
