Whiiing-.
A chill enveloped my flesh.
Alia, who was walking in the lead, stuck her sword into the thick snow.
Charlotte raised her fist high as she looked at the children following her.
Alia rolled her eyes and scolded him.
“There is no way you can understand Windsor’s sign language.”
“Yes? “This is universal.”
Alia sighed.
“I think I believe that…”
Alia pursed her lips when she saw that the students all stopped.
“Hehe.”
Charlotte laughed because Alia was cute.
“Hey- by the way.”
Charlotte looked around with her characteristic bright expression.
No matter where you look, there is only a snowstorm.
“You’re wonderfully lost.”
“….”
Charlotte squinted one eye.
Alia subtly avoided her gaze.
“Joe, just go back a little bit. “This is the right way.”
“hmm. “Maybe it’s because it cos from Northern Representative Gilchi, but I can’t trust it that much.”
“I don’t want to hear anything from Charles!”
“Oh really?”
Alia ground her molars and shook her fists.
Charlotte was famous as an ‘idiot’ even in the Knights of Windsor. In fact, even in the annual knight corps evaluation, ‘his ability is beyond doubt.’ However, there was a short but clear phrase attached to it that said, “Your head is a flower garden.”
‘Anyway, it’s a big deal.’
Alia opened her eyes hesitantly.
I’ve been denying it, but I feel like I’ve lost my way.
To make matters worse, a snowstorm had started earlier, making it difficult to secure visibility.
No matter how much I strengthened my eyes with magic, I couldn’t see any structures.
‘…I can’t reveal it honestly. Then, there will be great chaos.’
I glanced at the nervous students.
Although it is protected by Ella’s magic, there will be a limit to the amount of Sophia’s magical power.
‘Why am I…’
Is even such a simple task difficult?
Alia let out a weak sigh, but ca to her senses by slapping her cheek with both hands.
“Charles. “Isn’t there so way?”
“You know? “A.”
Charlotte grinned.
“I’m Gilchi too.”
“…”
Alia’s shoulders slumped.
“But in tis like this, the best thing to do is to follow the monster’s footsteps.”
“The presence of a monster?”
“This is a thod I often use. “Because monsters usually have the instinct to attack humans.”
Alia nodded seriously and pulled out her sword.
“I will detect it.”
“There’s no need to detect it.”
Just as the magic power was being spread thinly and widely.
Alia realized what Charlotte ant.
“It’s right in front of you.”
“Maybe there’s a village around here.”
Alia shouted to the students.
“There is a monster! Everyone please be careful!”
The students beca noisy, but quickly cald down, as if to prove that they had not paid attention to the previous training.
Hercy ran to Alia.
“Alia. Can I help?”
“Hercy, please keep an eye on whether any students are scared and leave.”
“yes!”
Hercy nodded without hesitation.
“Koooooo-!”
Not far away, a troll shot Peer.
Students with low magical power beca stiff and could not move.
“Ice troll.”
Alia’s eyes sank.
Boom, boom!
I heard the sound of a heavy body running.
It weighs so much that the ground shakes.
Alia lowered her posture.
“Do you want to help you?”
Charlotte tilted her head.
Alia said firmly.
“No need-!”
The mont Alia rushes forward.
Charlotte stamped her foot lightly.
Tung-!
As the shock wave spread, the bare face of the snowy field that could not be seen even an inch ahead was revealed.
As my vision cleared, I could clearly see Alia swinging her sword in a clear path.
“and.”
The students who saw it clearly were srized.
The troll was a high-class monster that had to be accompanied by four ordinary knights.
I know the ice troll is stronger than that.
However, Alia was trampling on such an ice troll.
Exactly twice.
Alia slaughtered the ice troll with two strikes.
“The level is different…”
The sound of swallowing was heard one after another as soone muttered.
If they all rushed in, would they have been able to subdue the ice troll?
I wasn’t sure.
“As expected, it’s Alia.”
Hercy nodded as if it was obvious.
The fox that was resting on his shoulder landed lightly on the ground.
“Miho? Is there any problem?”
[The owner is calling. I think I should go.]
To Hercy, Miho was a precious friend and her only connection to Ruid.
‘Soday… I’ll have to give it back.’
That’s obvious.
Miho is Ruid’s familiar –
and she and Ruid have had an estranged relationship recently.
However, Hercy smiled brightly without showing any signs of it.
“Have a safe trip.”
[Hercy.]
Miho glanced sowhere in a somber tone.
When you think that the side profile is cool because it’s an arctic fox.
[Be careful with Sophia. And, if you feel even the slightest danger, please call my na loudly. Even if I am hated by my master, I will co to your rescue.]
**
“Charlotte’s guess was correct. “As I head in the direction the ice troll went, I see a person.”
Alia breathed a sigh of relief.
Just now, I was really wondering what would happen.
If she had stayed in that snowy field for a long ti, Sophia would have lost her magical power soon.
The North is also the North, so the climate is different.
It was still cold, but there was no heavy snowstorm like before.
“We have arrived in town! Everyone, please rember the precautions I ntioned earlier.”
Alia said to the students.
Precautions are as follows:
First, never treat people rudely.
Second, if there is even a small problem, report it to yourself.
Third, refrain from arbitrary action.
The students nodded with their eyes shining.
“yes!”
“I will make sure not to cause any inconvenience!”
‘…what. ‘He listens well to sothing.’
So are even giving a look of respect.
It wasn’t like this originally… Thinking that good things are good things, Alia headed to the village.
But-
“It wasn’t a village.”
The place we arrived at was a military barracks.
The flag symbolizing the Duke of Windsor flew from high above. About 15 to 20 knights were encamped.
“huh? “Is this forward training?”
A knight hurriedly ran towards Charlotte, who had doubts.
When he saw Alia, he was startled and got down on one knee.
“Loyalty to the noble. “This is Vincent, commander of Article 3 of the 2nd Knights of Windsor.”
Alia said with a bright smile.
“It’s a lot of hardship. “Get up.”
“yes! thank you.”
Only then did I say hello to Charlotte.
“Nothing wrong during the mission! Thank you for your hard work!”
Vincent was in the most nervous state of his life because he was in front of a very high-ranking superior.
“hi.”
Charlotte encouraged him by tapping his shoulder.
She is the vice-captain in charge of the entire Windsor Knights, but unfortunately she does not know the nas and faces of all the knights.
That’s because there are over a thousand knights in Windsor. Considering that the empire that controlled 1/3 of the continent had 3,000 to 5,000 knights, it was an enormous number for a duke to own.
“so? “What mission are you on?”
“We were clearing out the monsters around the ruins by order of His Excellency the Duke!”
“Oh, I see. So where are we?”
Vincent was a little embarrassed when asked where he was, but he answered right away.
“This is the western outskirts of the first defense line!”
“…cough.”
Alia cleared her throat and turned her head.
“Wow… it’s not even a line. You missed the mark by a long ti. “If I had continued like this, I would have ended up in a foreign country.”
In the southwest of the empire is the Kingdom of Parmus. Of course, no matter how much she walked, she would never get there, but Charlotte exaggerated for no reason.
However, Windsor’s serious article was imdiately revised.
“no! “I said it’s on the outskirts, but since it’s right next to the first defense line, there’s no need to go all the way to Farmus Kingdom!”
“….”
A mont of awkward silence passed between them.
“S-sorry.”
Vincent beca sullen.
“But investigating ruins is a rare thing. “Are there still ruins that we haven’t identified?”
Alia asked with curiosity.
“sorry! “We haven’t heard that information, so we can’t give you an answer!”
Alia decided to take care of her students first.
Since we had been walking without stopping until now, everyone must have been very tired.
“They are students at the Imperial Academy. “This ti, I ca to the first defense line for a field trip.”
“yes!”
“Sir Vincent, please give them a place to rest and warm blankets.”
“Boo, please. A command is enough. yes! All right. We will prepare it right away. hey!”
Vincent imdiately called another knight and nodded at the academy students and said sothing.
The driver told the students to follow him.
The students looked at Alia with a little fear. Alia nodded as if it was okay. I followed the knights, led by Hersi.
As the students filed out, Vincent spoke to Alia.
“I’ll prepare a briefing!”
The Knights of Windsor have a thorough manual.
When a superior cos, a briefing must be given. Military status and damage status. Tactics, etc.
To be precise, it felt like taking over the current military force.
This was not a defense line, but it was a procedure that every knight of Windsor had to follow.
Alia had no intention of denying that either. I was also curious.
The discovery of ruins. In ruins, ‘mysteries’ are usually buried. Alia was excited at the thought that she might see a new miracle.
“This way!”
Vincent led the way to the captain’s barracks. I stood still and waited near the entrance.
“Wow, the barracks were built well.”
“Thank you!”
Vincent was greatly moved.
Playfulness sparkled in Charlotte’s eyes.
“Hmm. “But there are a lot of rocks on the floor.”
“…!”
Vincent’s pupils shook.
Charlotte smiled and waved her hand.
“I’m kidding. I’m kidding. don’t mind.”
“Yes, yes…!”
Alia looked at Charlotte with cold, salty eyes.
This was Charlotte’s usual prank.
I wanted to scold her, but considering Charlotte’s authority, I shouldn’t have done such a thing.
Alia sighed and entered the barracks.
-Extinguish all the stones in this area!
-yes!
Charlotte couldn’t hold back her laughter at the urgent voice she heard right away.
“Puhup.”
“Charles, you’re evil.”
“It’s cute. “Okay then.”
Charlotte sits leisurely on the sofa with her arms crossed and the back of her neck resting.
Alia also sat facing each other. There was a huge map on the table, and on top of it were what looked like chess pieces.
But then.
Charlotte’s smile gradually dried up.
Soon, his complexion beca pale, as if he had an upset stomach. The color gradually drained from my face.
Alia asked curiously.
“Charles? “Did I eat breakfast wrong?”
“I, I, I, I.”
“?”
Charlotte raised her trembling hand and pointed sowhere.
Alia slowly turned her head.
And then I saw it.
Victoria was looking at from the corner of the barracks with an expressionless face.
And, Ruid was fast asleep on her lap.
Victoria said with an indifferent face.
“Charle. I haven’t seen you before so you’ve beco a lot more arrogant.”
“sorry!”
thud!
Charlotte imdiately hit the head.
