Chapter 8.2: Asher Gronhilde (1)
She was the odd one out.
She was on a completely different level among the knights, who were mostly at level 40.
Above all, that face, it’s like I had seen it sowhere…
“Is sothing the matter?”
When I stopped walking and stood still for a while, Caren looked puzzled.
I pointed to the knights and asked.
“What are they?”
“They are apprentice knights belonging to the White Star Knights of the Castle. They are doing their afternoon training.”
If it was the White Star Knights, it was an elite force directly under the Overlord.
By the way, average knights from aristocratic families were around level 30, but in the Overlord Castle, even those over level 40 were just apprentice knights…
“…!”
Oh, I rembered.
That pure white hair, a knight belonging to Calderic.
Of course, there was a big difference between the ga graphics and the appearance in reality, but it was enough to evoke a strange familiarity.
“Is that man the superior of the knights?”
I asked, pointing to a man who seed to walk around among the knights and guiding them.
“Yes, the vice-captain of the 5th White Star Knights…”
“Could you call him over here for a minute?”
It was a very sudden request. Even so, Caren was taken aback for a mont.
However, she imdiately replied that she knew and approached the knights.
She talked to the man and quickly brought him in front of . Now, this was power.

“It’s an infinite honor to et the Seventh Lord! I’m Camson, the depute commander of the 5th Knights of White Star.”
A man frozen with tension gave a stiff salute.
“There is sothing I want to ask you.”
“…Yes! I will do my best to answer anything!”
“That white-haired woman over there.”
I pointed at the woman and asked.
“What’s her na?”
Perhaps it was an unexpected question. Vice-captain Camson put on a puzzled expression for a mont before replying quickly.
“She’s Asher, an apprentice knight. She’s a newcor who joined three months ago and is currently undergoing the apprenticeship process.”
…Huh.
The mont I heard that na, I felt a slight goose bump down my spine.
Could there really be such a coincidence?
Asher Gronhilde.
One of the main protagonists of RaSa’s main story.
At first, she appeared as an enemy, but as the story progressed, she was incorporated into the allied camp and was a powerful ally.
She was an apprentice knight in the Overlord’s castle.
One natural question was bound to follow.
Why did she beco an apprentice knight?
If the level was over 80, it was a level that could go beyond the White Star Knights’ commander and beco a mber of the Black Star—the elite knights of the Overlord Castle. She actually belonged to the Black Star Knights when she first appeared in the ga.
…It’s rough, but I know her background and circumstances.
Because of this, I could co up with a plausible guess right away.
She’s probably still wary of her surroundings, that’s why she joined while hiding her abilities.
What should I do with this?
After the sparring, Asher was holding the sword with no sign of fatigue.
This was a great opportunity.
Even if not, now I had to find a reliable escort. And if it was her, she was a character that could be trusted enough.
Besides, if i could use soone who was strong enough now, but who had the potential to grow to the level of a Lord in the future, she’s definitely more than qualified to be an escort.
The problem is how to convince her.
Currently, Asher was a knight belonging to the Overlord Castle.
Of course, with the power of the Lord, it wouldn’t be difficult to bring in an apprentice knight no matter if they belonged to the Overlord’s castle, but there was another problem.
Asher had a clear purpose for becoming a knight here.
If I took her here with little thought, she might not only dislike but also beco hostile to as well.
“…”
Let’s try it.
Since I had already found her like this, it’s too good to just give up and pass by.
Having decided, I opened my mouth again.
“When will training end?”
“We plan to continue for another hour…”
“I’d like to talk to her. Can I bring her with when it’s over?”
At my words, the vice-captain beca dumbfounded. This was an unexpected reaction.
In Calderic, the Lord was in the sky.
It was a situation where such a Lord had sothing to do with an apprentice knight and would take them.
“Mm- of course! You can bring her with you right now…”
“No, an hour later.”
I said, with no area for refusal.
I needed ti to organize my thoughts before we could talk.
“I’ll go back first, so when training is over, bring her to my room.”
At my words, Caren’s gaze beca a little strange.
I regretted it imdiately. My words could definitely cause a useless misunderstanding.
“I just want to talk.”
When I added sothing, she bowed her head as if to apologize.
I looked at Asher one last ti and turned around.
My mind went busy. How could I entice her to be my escort?
