He was a really dreamy knight-sama.
With gold colored hair and white clothes that made him skillfully shine.
His green eyes were also very beautiful.
From everyone’s rumors he was just like the prince that appeared in fairytales.
That’s right, like in a “ fairytale”. But I am only a reader.
Therefore.
That’s why I think I gave up on my love.
※※※※※
That day the weather was good.
Although scary things happened, in a few days it got better.
Like that, I was amazed but glad that the state of village hasn’t changed.
And it was all thanks to the two people who came from the neighboring village.
Gordon-sensei regularly looks after the surroundings of our village, he is a really gentle sensei.
『 the sooner the injury is healed the better 』
And he always uses healing magic free of charge.
I heard that some doctors that can use healing magic wouldn’t get out of their work to just come to a village.
Absolutely no compensation or money needed, none.
I heard that this time that sensei brought with him another person.
I was looking forward to it…..when a terrible thing happened.
The assailants seemed to be an assassin whose aim was a sir knight that came to our village several days ago.
The only thing a woman like me can do is to run away.
My uncle that shielded me was injured, and when I was at a loss as to what to do, sensei arrived.
The surprising thing was that not only those guys, but the knights were also tied up.
When I asked sensei, he said that it was the magician that accompanied him who defeated them.
…….I doubted my ears.
I mean, no matter how you looked at it the magician-sama was of the same age as me or even younger.
A petite and black haired with big eyes of the same color magician-sama…..is she a noblewoman? I silently thought.
Although she’s beautiful, she’s very strong.
Even as the knights that apologized were being moderately lectured by her, the village chief-san was swooning and muttering something about lese majeste.
What the magician-sama was saying was a little too extreme…..I admired her, at the same time, I thought she was way terrifying.
Still, I believed that she’ll protect us so like this I went to sleep without fearing the darkness of the night.
She was angry like that for our sake, she’s a kind person.
And one day after several days passed, the white knights came next.
It was because Sensei reported to the Castle.
It looked like the two of them were discussing something.
With those wonderful knight-samas here it was unlikely for the women to not make noise.
One way or another some young woman tried to talk to them, but overall it was closed with just the standard greetings.
But just one person.
The granddaughter of the village chief popular for her beauty was acting conceited, I heard that she was excessively cold to whoever tried to approach the knight that she liked.
If he works at the Castle then it’s impossible for a countryside girl to become his partner, but if a beautiful princess were to be the partner then I think that I will give up……
Nevertheless, the knight-sama in question, happily laughing said.
“I’m considering that black-haired magician-dono”
It probably wasn’t just a lie with the purpose of distancing the gathered girls.
At that remark, she got indignant and thinking that it wasn’t true, she spoke ill things about magician-sama.
”She just has magical power, so why that sort of woman! She look like a dreadful witch “
At that moment, the smile on the knight-sama’s face disappeared.
Instinctively everyone sunk into silence, and the blond-haired knight-sama looked at the girl with very cold eyes.
“ She doesn’t backbite someone like you do. Are you saying so despite your position?”
” If she didn’t do it then who would’ve be able to? How many people would have survived? You really should stop It, it’s shameless.”
”If you insult her, more than this……I’ll punish you with the aristocrat authority I carry”
He was a kind person. I mean, I thought he was a kind person.
But, I realized that the kindness that we faced was through the magician-sama.
Because the magician-sama protected us.
That person would hate it if someone were to die.
He treated us kindly because of her, I clearly understood.
Because, The knight-sama’s gentle wordings and smile…..all turn into “ the genuine thing” when he faced the magician-sama.
If you see that for yourself I think not realizing it would be impossible.
There were no girls that clung to the knight anymore.
In the end, at the moment they were leaving the village…..looking like he was really having fun that knight-sama was embracing magician-sama.
The magician-sama looked annoyed, but she didn’t shake him off.
The journey ahead looked full of difficulties, but please do your best—- when I was having such thoughts while gazing at them, the knight-sama turned his eyes on me and smiled gently.
It was different from the smile he faced the magician-sama, but it was without a doubt a true smile.
Please, knight-sama……please protect magician-sama.
And If possible, please be happy——-
