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 .
