The Fiancee Who Betrayed Me Is Obsessed With Me

49 – Blunt Knight (3)

After what happened in the Kingdom of Deipson, the knights were in an uproar.

This was due to rumors that the movements of Yuuna and the Ceramide Duke family may have an impact on the succession structure.

Moreover, rumors were going around that Yuna was a magician with unparalleled talent, and the entire castle was in an uproar.

“hey… Aren’t we all going to die like this? “Aren’t you going to die from magic?”

“But you’ve been a little quiet lately, haven’t you? I guess they’re trying to manage their image now that they’re aiming for the throne… ”

“But where does that personality go? Whenever I start working the night shift… … ”

Yuna’s senior guards were still spending their days trembling in fear.

From what I can see, it doesn’t seem like Yuna will commit any more evil acts like she did in the past, but the memories of what she suffered during that time must have been great.

The guards of our four princesses are talking about trivial things like this, but the situation is probably different for the guards of other royal families.

Comparatively, the bodyguard knights, whose knights are mostly nobles, are bound to be more sensitive to such power struggles.

If he had sworn loyalty to the royal family he was serving and even pledged to make him king, the current situation would have been even worse.

Everyone is probably busy keeping Yuna in check right now.

Of course, Yuuna has not yet taken any action other than the affairs of the Deipson Kingdom, so there is nothing to keep in check.

Anyway, the 1st Prince and 1st Princess will be busy meeting nobles by now.

This is because it was necessary to prevent even one family from turning to Yuna’s side.

In any case, this means that we, the escorts of the parties concerned, are the only ones who worry about their heads being taken away without even thinking about it.

Of course, since most of these people are from noble families, they may not be uninterested in this incident.

“… But will the Fourth Princess really ascend to the throne? Because you’ve been such a mess so far… ”

“Still, aren’t they saying that he is a wizard with talent that surpasses the wizards of the Empire’s Magic Tower? They say it is the military power of one kingdom, but what are you going to do if you don’t do it?”

“At that time, everyone else will be like us… “

In the past, I lived in Regius and later with the dark elves, a race that cannot use magic, so I actually do not have an accurate sense of the existence of a wizard.

However, it is said that the human magicians of the current era are truly exceptionally talented, and that their individual military power surpasses that of even relatively weak countries.

“But for now, the Knights are on the 1st Prince’s side, so shouldn’t we wait a little longer? “No matter how much of a wizard you are, you actually can’t fight alone.”

“That’s right. First of all, because Director Mernis values tradition.”

The knights continued their conversation as if resolving their resentment.

Before I joined, Yuuna was so unruly that I had to suffer from fear all day, but it seems to be a bit better now.

Still, it was fortunate that Yuna’s escorts felt safer than in the past.

Anyway, the longer we go, the more I think that Director Mernis will become a big obstacle.

Nobles usually act according to their own interests. Since the Ceramide Duke family had also joined in, there was plenty of hope to move them.

But the Knights were different.

Especially in a situation where Mernis values tradition, the knights will follow his words and side with the traditional royal family.

Just by looking at Ria, I could already guess how stubborn a person he would be as a knight.

‘Come to think of it, I’ve never seen it before. Captain Mernis.’

Perhaps because the Guard Knights were a bit different from the general knights, I had never seen Lia’s father before.

From noble mtl dot com

Although he was actually with us on the expedition to the Deipson Kingdom, he was active on the 1st Prince’s side and on the Ceramide Duke family’s side with Nan Yuna, so we never had to meet him face-to-face.

Maybe it was something that passed by in the distance, but it doesn’t remain in my memory at all.

It would be correct to say that he was someone I had never seen before.

It was also a bit disappointing.

As Lia’s father and knight commander, he would certainly be an outstanding loyalist, and he would not betray like anyone else.

If she couldn’t get him on Yuna’s side, it could have become a big obstacle for her to take the throne.

“Ugh, now I’m back on duty again. When I saw you this morning, the princess didn’t seem to be in a good mood. under… ”

“Hey, I’m working the night shift today. “Why does it seem like I’m the only one who goes in so often?”

“Isn’t that all because you are outstanding? “Tsk tsk.”

It was almost time to start the day, and we dispersed to our respective tasks.

Since I had no escort duties in the morning, I was planning to participate in training for the first time in a while.

“Ah, Lia.”

Lia was also there for the morning training.

Recently, we have been living in separate rooms, so we spend less time together than before. We didn’t even know each other’s schedules.

It was a bit of a sad change, but it was still a great pleasure to see each other like this occasionally.

“Ah, Beryl. “Shall we train together?”

“OK.”

The morning training was one-on-one training.

It was combat training disguised as a one-on-one situation. Basically, swords are used, but unlike swordsmanship training, there was no problem with using fighting techniques.

Although you should not do anything that goes against chivalry, it was practical combat training for victory in actual battles.

“Then let’s go.”

Me and Lia aimed our wooden swords at each other.

It’s been a long time since I sparred with Lia like this. I was lucky to be training with Lia for the first time in a while.

She is a highly skilled member of the knights, and because she has received traditional knightly training, she was a good opponent to learn how to deal with knights.

“Haap-”

Lia rushes in without a break using her unique fast speed.

The strong power coming from her small body and her perfect sword skills made me sweat a little just by blocking.

He is definitely so good at swordsmanship that no one can match him. Her flexibility also plays a role in her swordsmanship skills.

grasp-

“Tsk… !”

But it’s so honest. In real life, there is no guarantee that you will only meet honest opponents like knights.

I narrowed the distance by catching Lia’s horizontal slash with the sword, and then struck her wrist once, making her lose her grip on the sword.

Then, after kicking her torso, he lunged at her as she fell and applied a joint kick.

These were all practical skills learned from the dark elves. Just looking at the battle, honestly, there was no opponent who could beat me here.

“Ugh… !”

Of course, among knights, there were sometimes knights who were good at fighting without using a sword.

But first of all, Lia was not that type.

Although he was strong compared to his size, there was an inevitable difference in physical strength, and although he was skilled with a sword, he had no skills in fighting without a sword.

I lightly subdued her, and she struggled to get away, but eventually surrendered and hit the floor.

“Whoa… As expected, Beryl is strong. lost.”

“I always say, you can’t just sharpen your sword. Because you don’t know what kind of situation will unfold in real life. Even if there is a difference in physical strength, if you take advantage of your unique flexibility, you will be able to grow quickly in martial arts.”

“thanks. “Please ask me one more time.”

We continued sparring without stopping until lunchtime.

Of course, I won every sparring. The gap was still too big for Lia to catch up with me.

If there was a situation where I had to subdue her, I could probably do so without much effort. Assuming there is no sword.

Why did I suddenly have that thought? I was by no means ignoring her skills.

Maybe it was because I thought I might fight her someday.

I didn’t want to think about the fight with her just yet, so I shook my head to let the distracting thoughts go.

“Uhm, Sir Lia has disappeared.”

“It’s not that he disappeared, it’s that you left first because you were eating too much. “How many more times are you going to take it?”

“But isn’t this fried fish so delicious?! “Why on earth does everyone hate this delicious food?”

“Rather than hating it, I think it’s because of the sense of betrayal I felt after thinking it was fried meat.”

After the rough training in the morning, it was lunch time.

The main dish was fried fish, and because Haas ate four more fried fish, Lia left the restaurant first.

Since I also ate quite a bit, I ate some Haas, but in the end, it was like waiting for the fourth refill of Haas.

Usually Lia waits for me, but today the meal took too long and she got up first to see if she had anything to do.

“But other than an opportunity like this, you don’t often have the chance to eat to your heart’s content! “I’ll come back just one more time!”

“under… “Are you a nobleman?”

He was truly a boring guy.

In the end, I waited until Haas, who had received his fifth refill, finished his meal, and I left the restaurant with him with a full stomach.

“Anyway, there was a lot of noise~ I never thought the 4th princess would become such a famous person. Of course, it was famous in a different way before that.”

“It seems like the commotion is getting bigger as the days go by. 1 How is the princess? “I think it must have been busy there too.”

“Are you really trying to steal information from your competitor? “I’m sorry, but I am not a treacherous person selling my master’s information!”

“No, nothing like that in particular… done.”

I had a casual conversation with Haas and returned to the dormitory.

Anyway, there was no need for the First Princess to keep much in check, and they had no intention of digging up information in the first place.

“oh? It’s Sir Lia over there. And next to it… “

As I was returning, I saw Lia talking to a man in a corner of the castle.

Even at first glance, the man standing in front of her was enormous. He was bigger than me.

“ah… ! You are Captain Mernis! “I’ve never seen Lord Lia with her father, but it’s a big deal.”

“Captain Mernis?”

Captain Mernis is Lia’s father.

I had never seen it before, but I was able to see it as a coincidence.

It wasn’t a big interest, but I was curious about the rumored leader, so I took Haas and walked nearby.

“hahahaha! Are you planning to explore the 1st Prince’s side this time? I didn’t see it that way, but Beryl is truly loyal. 4Only for the princess. ha ha ha!”

“Shut up… uh… ?”

As I punched Haas on the back of the head for talking loudly and walked towards Lia and Leader Mernis, my feet froze for a moment.

“Why are you doing that?”

“Mernis… The leader… ?”

A memory from 10 years ago that I can’t forget yet, or even for the rest of my life.

Our royal family and loyalists were running away from the castle, and the knights of Helia were chasing after them.

Gerg, who protected me until the end, and my father, mother, and younger siblings who died before my eyes.

And the face of the knight who cut off the heads of my father and sister with a cruel smile.

Those terrible memories that I couldn’t forget even for a moment. That feeling of fear when my father and sister’s heads were cut off before my eyes.

Those memories and feelings from back then came back to me in an instant. It was a moment that came to mind.

“yes. Lord Lia’s father. “Aren’t you Captain Mernis?”

Leah’s father. Director Mernis. That article from 10 years ago.

Compared to 10 years ago, my hair has turned a lot whiter and my wrinkles have increased, but I could never not recognize that face.

As soon as I saw it, the memory of that time came back to me, and I couldn’t help but recognize him.

“Lia’s father… ”

The knight who cut off my family’s head in front of my eyes 10 years ago. The knight who took my family away and laughed with an incredibly cruel expression.

Because he was in front of me. Because Director Mernis was him.

‘Lia’s father… He’s a guy… ‘

The man in my most terrible memories was Leah’s father.
