The Fiancee Who Betrayed Me Is Obsessed With Me

50 – Blunt Knight (4)

It was stuck in a corner of my memory, but never forgotten.

The unknown knight who cut off the heads of my family has always remained in my nightmares and tormented me.

That’s why I couldn’t forget it.

“Ah, Beryl. Haas. “Have you finally eaten it all?”

“This way?”

“This is Hasnon Toner of the Guard Knights.”

“… “This is Beryl of the Guard Knights.”

Haas and I approached Lia who found us, and I followed Haas and saluted Captain Mernis.

He accepted the salute with a dignified expression. Now that I look at it, it seems like it resembles Lia.

“hmm. I heard a lot of stories from my daughter. “Did you say it was your motivation for joining?”

“yes. “We have been in the same group since the entrance exam.”

“It’s a precious relationship. Be sure to keep it well. Before I knew it, my comrades had either retired or lost their lives on the battlefield. “Looking back now, I realize there has never been a time when I was more passionate than I was then.”

“I will count.”

Haas, like a nobleman, had a smooth conversation with Director Mernis.

All I could do was stand next to him, hiding my emotions.

It seemed like if I made a mistake, this anger would be revealed. I had to hide it.

“Did you say Beryl next to it? “I’m the 4th princess’s bodyguard.”

“… That’s right.”

“It seemed like my daughter was greatly indebted to me. “Thank you.”

“… no.”

Maybe Lia often talked about me to Director Mernis, but the way he looked at me wasn’t that bad.

No, on the contrary, I think it is viewed positively.

Living in the same room as your daughter might be viewed negatively, but it seemed like Lia had a lot to say about it in a positive way.

“Until not long ago, I was roommates with my daughter. “Did anything happen?”

“yes. “I swear nothing untoward happened.”

“ha ha ha. I know. I just tried it. Actually, I already heard everything from this guy. “He seemed dissatisfied and said that nothing had happened.”

“Ah, father… !”

Director Mernis smiled and continued the conversation, wondering what was so fun.

He seemed like a good father. Contrary to what I thought, he seemed to be a cheerful man who was neither evil nor scary.

Well, I guess so. It’s common for knights to kill people.

Although it is a terrible memory that some people will never forget, he lives his life unharmed.

Even though he has completely ruined someone’s life and trampled on everyone else’s happiness, he still lives happily.

Because the perpetrator usually doesn’t remember. There are probably very few people who suffer from guilt because of the evil they have committed.

“… I have respected Director Mernis from an early age. “He also contributed greatly to the conquest of the Kingdom of Regius.”

“Ahh. You mean Regius? It’s already been more than 10 years. Is there anyone who remembers that? “And for a knight this young.”

“… “I’m very interested in history.”

“Ahh. is it. Certainly, the bad relationship between Regius and Helia has a long history. “It was a bad relationship that continued even before I became a knight.”

Director Mernis stroked his beard as if contemplating old memories and closed his eyes.

“Actually, it was a case of conquest. Now, with the help of the Ceramide family, Helia’s loyalists, we have Regius without war. However, the events of that day are still vivid in my mind. “The last day of Regius.”

Director Mernis took a stance and started talking as if he was about to tell a saga.

Anger was boiling inside me, but I did my best to hide it and keep a straight face.

It was impossible to show even the slightest smile. When I thought about my lost kingdom and family, it was difficult to even hide my emotions.

“The Ceramide Duke family’s betrayal, and the royal family and loyalists of Regius were all on the verge of being exterminated. However, at that time, the knights of Regius broke free and appeared, and I had to fight them. There was a gerg. Even though he was an enemy, he was a great knight who deserved respect. “He was probably around the age I am now.”

He also remembered the battle against Gerg.

Does this mean that the memories of that day were so strong for him?

It was a little different from my expectation that I wouldn’t even remember it.

“He tried to escape by breaking through the siege and rescuing the royal family. But me and the knights chased after it. It shouldn’t have been left alive. I quickly overpowered the knights of Regius and approached the fleeing royal family, and without hesitation, I cut off their heads. As a driver, there are times when quick judgment of the situation is important. “If we had waited more time instead of killing him right away, I don’t know what history would have been like.”

My fists were shaking.

Just something like that. I was disgusted that he was proud of his cowardly act of cutting off the head of a defenseless royal.

Perhaps at that time, Helia praised this man for killing the fleeing royals.

When I thought about those things, I couldn’t stop feeling disgusted. My stomach was boiling.

“Anyway, that day was a very important day in Helia’s history.”

“Maybe if Regius was still holding on, Helia wouldn’t have grown this far.”

From noble mtl dot com

Lia nodded as if agreeing with Mernis’ words.

Lia nodded as if she was proud of conquering Regius like that.

When I saw her like that, I felt an emotion that I can’t describe.

A being who was considered trustworthy for the first time after hiding his identity in Helia and becoming a knight.

As we lived together, I thought she was different from other disgusting Helians.

Seeing her belittling Regius like this caused a conflict of emotions.

“Ha ha ha ha ha! Among the articles these days, there are still those who remember that incident. I like it. It’s a shame. These talents are always taken from the Guard Knights. “Leah is like that too.”

“… “That’s too much praise.”

“The 4th princess is very lucky. “I heard that you are also trusted by the four princesses.”

“I’m just grateful.”

He also mentioned Yuna.

Since she rose rapidly in the struggle for the throne, it would have been impossible not to talk about it from the perspective of the first prince.

“It’s a shame, it’s a shame. “Talented people always elude me.”

He also seemed to be keeping Yuna in check.

In the first place, given his personality, it doesn’t seem like he would immediately recognize a villain like Yuna as king.

But even so, he seemed to view me favorably.

Contrary to how I see him.

“Then we’ll see you next time.”

After a little more conversation, Director Mernis left.

We also gave a quick salute and stepped forward to return to the dormitory.

“Well then, let’s see you in the afternoon.”

We said our goodbyes and went back to our rooms.

It was my daily routine to take a short nap during lunch time.

But today I couldn’t do that.

As soon as I was alone in the room, numerous terrible memories began to bloom in my head.

And even the disgusting laughter of Director Mernis from earlier. And Lia also agreed with him.

“Lia… ”

Lia was someone who could even be said to be precious.

Because she was full of chivalry and was a good person.

But now that I found out that she was Director Mernis’ daughter, she didn’t look the same as before.

Thinking that she was the knight’s daughter, for some reason, an unknown emotion bubbled up every time I saw her.

What is certain is that it was definitely different from the previous positive feelings I had when I knew nothing about it.

Maybe I’ve been too lazy all this time. Because of the existence of a person named Leah.

I gained strength and became a knight to destroy everything in Helia.

However, I didn’t know that he had been putting off doing something little by little under the excuse of meeting good people in the knights, making Yuna king, and taking everything away from him later.

When I see them, I don’t feel as angry as I used to, so much so that my fists tremble.

Maybe I forgot for a moment.

Suddenly-

I jumped out of bed and left the room.

I couldn’t stop any longer. Of course, there would be a lot of time left until full-scale revenge, but the desire for revenge should not fade like this.

I will live each day to drive them and Helia into the abyss.

smart-

“Leah. “Can I come in?”

I found Leah’s room.

She opened the door right away, probably because she wasn’t taking a nap.

“W-what’s going on, Beryl?”

“just. By Bored. “Can I come in?”

“Come in.”

I quickly entered the room that Lia was using alone.

“… Leah. “I want to ask you something.”

“what?”

“What would you think if you could no longer write articles?”

“that… I can’t imagine. “Because I will live my life as a knight, and I will die as a knight.”

“okay… “Then what about marriage or something like that?”

“Why are you suddenly asking that?!”

The most important thing to Leah is chivalry.

And she is the only daughter of Director Mernis.

“just. “If you feel bad, you don’t have to answer.”

“Well, it’s not like that… But just because you’re a knight doesn’t mean you don’t get married. Rather, marriage can also be an honorable thing. However, I would like to avoid having children or reducing physical functions.”

“is it. After all, honor as a knight is important.”

Director Mernis cruelly took my family away right before my eyes. I still can’t forget the sight of the families’ heads being separated.

In that case, wouldn’t it be better for me to take away the most precious thing from him?

“yes. Because you are a knight… honor… ”

It wasn’t that I had any ill feelings toward Lia.

But as always, these personal feelings were not important to me.

I didn’t trample on everyone’s lives that day 10 years ago and survive alone just to be swayed by this little relationship.

If I cannot take revenge, no one can relieve their resentment.

It was just something that made me lose my temper for a moment. In the first place, I came here for revenge, and even if I had to use Lia to do it, I had no reason to hesitate.

okay. I’ve been acting so stupid all this time. I had forgotten the most important thing.

“Ha, but if I find someone I really love, I might never know. There are often knights who retire for the sake of their loved ones… ”

“Then what if you have a child from someone you don’t want, or if you’re no longer a knight because of it? “It must be truly terrible.”

“Isn’t it obvious? “Even if it’s not an article, it’s a terrible thing.”

“yes. “As expected.”

Heliaga, Yuunaga, Syriaga, and Captain Mernis. Just like they did to me. No, in a more terrible way than that.

Without that, my life was meaningless.

“But really, why are you asking so suddenly?”

“just. You are Captain Mernis. “Because you and your father seem to have a good relationship.”

“yes. We get along pretty well. “I decided to become a knight because of my father.”

“okay. I said so… “It seems like the leader cares about you a lot.”

“It’s a shame, but… “Honestly, I wish you wouldn’t tell the knights about me.”

“I see. “I think so.”

‘If Director Mernis loses you, he will be in terrible pain.’

I swallowed my words and continued the conversation with Lia as if nothing had happened.

It was a time no different from usual. However, my mindset was very different from usual.

Because I had forgotten so much. What is important to me is not these small happy times.

There was no way my resolution could be broken because of this trivial relationship.

… I had to keep calming myself like that.
