I Became the Golden Sun That Steals the Academy’s Aircraft

61. Lion King Parade

Her slightly wavy, scarlet hair that reached down to her shoulders sparkled in the sunlight streaming through the window.

The big, clear black eyes shined as if they had discovered something interesting, and a refreshing smile appeared on the corner of the mouth just by looking at it.

She was tall, well over 170, and had slender arms and legs, and she was wearing a uniform that knights of the past would have worn.

Gilbert swallowed her sigh that came out without realizing it and remembered her name.

Camilla Alacer Tristitia

She was the daughter of Count Tristitia, one of the three count families that supported the empire.

The Count of Tristitia was a famous elite knightly family that valued strict discipline for generations. It produced many knights who became famous on the continent, and all previous Counts of Tristitia served as the commanders of the Imperial Knights.

The current Count Tristitia was also the same. He was also serving as the head of the Order of the Golden Lion, the imperial knighthood, and was well-known within the empire as a person of great standing, having held the title as the youngest of all time.

Is it because of the influence of Count Tristitia?

An unusual event occurred in which the eldest, second, and third sons of the count’s four children joined the Order of the Golden Lion, which represents the empire. Although it was a rare occurrence in the long history of the empire, it did not seem to be a major obstacle for the men of the Count Tristitia family.

And it was Camilla Alaquer Tristitia in front of Gilbert who had grown up watching such prominent people. From a young age, she followed in the footsteps of her brothers, holding a sword before her doll. Although she had not yet distinguished herself, she was the most talented of the Count Tristitia family in tactical combat.

The majority of users in the Tactical Combat community said that she possesses talent comparable to Seraphina. The basis of the standard play was that the next companion to be recruited after Seraphina was Camilla.

In particular, since it was the forbidden jade leaf of the Count Tristitia family, it had a great advantage in that it could receive support from the Count family. Considering that Camilla’s father and brothers were the knight commanders and knights of the Imperial Knights, there was no need for her to speak at length.

In addition, since the Count of Tristitia was a noble family loyal to the imperial family, he had the advantage of killing two birds with one stone in that he could naturally receive support from the imperial family.

When Gilbert also played Tactical Combat, if he was unable to recruit Seraphina as her colleague, he would definitely try to recruit Camilla as her colleague.

But still, there was one reason why Gilbert sighed when he saw her. Although she didn’t make a lot of sense in the game, Camilla had a lot of siblings, so she had a lot of tomboyishness. It would be more accurate to say that she was a naughty person.

She was the youngest of the count family and had all the cuteness, so she was very self-centered and often focused on fun. In the game, she was a bubbly and attractive character, but when you meet her in real life, she becomes a tiresome and tiresome person.

At first, Gilbert was also happy to meet Camilla while preparing for her commemorative event, but due to her continued eccentricities, he now considered meeting her as tiring. She often pulled unexpected pranks, which led to several difficult situations.

Of course, she doesn’t have any ill will toward her, and she hasn’t done anything dangerous, but she is not a good match for Gilbert, who is on edge as she prepares for the attack on her academy. It was.

It may have been possible if she had successfully prevented the attack on the Academy and confronted her, but at a moment like this when her mind was in a state of confusion, it was difficult to quietly accept her eccentricity. She had been trying to avoid encountering each other lately, but it seemed like it was impossible this time.

“Camilla.”

“Umhuhu! You’re finally here!”

I heard it’s unnecessarily bright.

Gilbert was speechless as he watched Camilla full of joy. He seemed intent on dressing up in the costume he had prepared for him a moment ago. The fact that the Lion King’s costume, the flower of the parade, was completed last was largely due to her influence.

Originally, it should have already been completed, but her opinion that the details of the costume should be maintained was actively accepted, so it was postponed until the day before. Now that I couldn’t postpone it any longer due to time constraints, I had to wear the completed costumes and rehearse, but for some reason, I felt reluctant.

The reason was purely a feeling. That kind of feeling that Camilla might do something again.

“What’s happening again this time?”

“Why is your expression like that? As if you think I’m going to do something again!”

“Then isn’t it?”

“No, that’s the correct answer!”

It was Camilla’s usual appearance to openly declare that she was planning something.

Should I call this bright or stupid?

Gilbert reacted more violently than usual, perhaps because of his heightened nerves.

But then he sighed and shook his head. If you think about it, Camilla was a new cadet who was now in her 20s.

In this place that was like the Middle Ages, twenty could be considered old enough, but to Gilbert, who had Korean sensibilities, it was still like a child.

Considering that he had barely graduated from high school, I was a little upset that he was acting a little immature. Considering Gilbert’s original age, it was like having a younger sister who was much older than him.

Maybe he’s the same age as my uncle.

When his thoughts reached that point, Gilbert decided to ignore Camilla’s actions.

“Camilla. I brought you a costume.”

“Oh! You’re here at the right time, Celine!”

She must have already brought her clothes. Celine was standing next to Camilla with her neatly folded clothes in her hands.

Camilla proudly said that she searched through all the formal clothing styles from the era when the Lion King lived, then selected the most similar design and produced it.

The costume was definitely designed to have an old-fashioned feel based on black.

Did she say that she used the finest wedding troupe brought directly from the Cotton Folly estate, famous for her cotton, for this parade? She said that she commissioned a talented designer from Novartis, who is rumored to be leading the empire fashion these days, to produce it.

Camilla, who was chattering and boasting, unfolded the red cloak that had been folded along with her knightly conquest. According to her, the part she put the most effort into was the cloak.

The symbol of the Lion King could be said to be a red cape with a golden lion embroidered on it, so it was evident that special care was taken. It is no waste to say that craftsmanship was put into each and every stitch.

“How do you feel? Isn’t it cool?”

“Not bad.”

It was a very stylish knight’s robe, even to Gilbert. He wasn’t the type of person who enjoyed dressing up, but if the clothes he actually ended up wearing were clown-like clothes, he was reluctant, no matter how much he looked like Gilbert.

“Hmm! That’s not a bad reaction for Gilbert! So hurry up and put it on!”

“You mean now?”

“If there’s something strange, it has to be repaired!”

It was a correct opinion. Considering that tomorrow is the parade day, time for repairs was limited to today.

I didn’t feel like it because my mind was so busy, but it was something I had to do, so I took the costume without saying anything and changed.

Wearing a black knight’s uniform, a leather belt, and leather shoes, he finally draped a red cloak over his shoulders and came out. The products created by talented designers definitely looked different no matter what they were. The feeling of being wrapped around my body wasn’t bad.

“Umhuhu! I thought it would look good on you!”

Camilla was the first to spot Gilbert and clapped her hands with sparkling eyes. Perhaps because of her, all eyes were on Gilbert, who had changed his clothes and came out.

– He really looks like the Lion King…?

– It definitely looks real.

Music sounds were heard here and there. The sight of Gilbert wearing a red cloak was like the Lion King himself, who came out of the history books.

His appearance played a role in this evaluation. Because of his reputation, Gilbert’s real face was a different type of handsome man than Ian.

If Ian was a handsome man with thin lines and a soft look, Gilbert was the exact opposite. He was a handsome man with thick lines and prominent muscular masculinity. Seeing his tall height and thick torso, the female cadets also looked surprised.

“What do you think, Celine? It looks to me like there’s nothing left to touch?”

“It certainly seems like what Camilla said.”

“As expected, Celine thinks the same as me!”

Camilla looked at Gilbert carefully to see what was so good about him, and nodded her head repeatedly as if satisfied. She had a similar feeling as a fan watching her cosplay.

“You look happy.”

“Of course! As someone who respects the Lion King, I am proud of the fact that I have recreated such a perfect Lion King!”

She looked like a childish little girl, looking proudly with her hands on her hips and her breasts sticking out.

Gilbert looked at Camilla, whose scarlet hair was fluttering once again. She hadn’t thought about it until now because her nerves were so raw, but her attitude towards Gilbert was noticeably different from everyone else’s.

Ever since Gilbert opened his eyes in this world, he has always been viewed negatively due to the reputation of the original Gilbert. He had such a bad reputation that even people who met him for the first time felt distant from him.

But Camilla treated him without hesitation from the beginning. Is it because of his unique bright and friendly personality?

Gilbert was curious about that.

“Camilla. I have something to ask you.”

“Oh! Gilbert has something to ask me! Isn’t that amazing?”

“It’s nothing much. I was just curious. About the attitude you show when you treat me.”

“Hmm… In short, I don’t seem to have any prejudices?”

I watched her tilt her head from side to side and nodded. This was the key question he wanted to ask.

“I don’t know about that, do I? I just thought Gilbert was a good person. No matter what people around me said, that’s the Gilbert I saw!”

“The rumors are true.”

“I don’t know about complicated things! That’s all I see.”

I don’t like things that are difficult. When I saw Camilla smiling, I felt like I had asked a stupid question.

Should we say that people are bright or foolish?

But Gilbert thought it looked good. Because he knew very well that that was something Camilla was like.

Furthermore, the fact that at least one person saw him as he was from the beginning was quite comforting. Even if it were real, it was quite stressful for him to become a character in a game.

When I was influenced by the original Gilbert, those thoughts became stronger. He could even describe it as feeling like he was losing his sense of self.

But when I saw that harmless smile on Camila’s face, I thought it was pointless to worry.

And that was enough for Gilbert.
