The Old Knight of a Frontier District

6.

Some time after nightfall, the search party returned.

Missing children were found safely, and apart from that, one adult was rescued, he said.

Not only did the search team help the two of them, but they took down one river bear and three mortar monkeys and took their bodies home, so it's a big deal.

Regardless, it was Gordon Zarkos who fought.

Apparently, what happened was that the villagers chased away the river bear that appeared near the village.

Some villagers were injured, but that's a common story.

But one of the boys who was picking nuts in the woods fled in the direction of the river bear's progression.

An adult who noticed it chased one boy and fled the river bear with him, but was set to go in a direction far from the village.

They were in trouble getting cornered on a tree, but eventually called out loud when they saw a lot of pine lights approaching.

The people in the search party who relied on their voices to locate the two saw a river bear under the tree.

I'm in a state of excitement and it's going to be hard to get rid of.

Then Gordon Zarkos approached him alone, waving a battlehammer and knocking him down with just three blows.

Three Moguchi monkeys attacked there.

Gordon also defeated the new enemy without any further manipulation.

Moreover, on that occasion, they declared that the carcasses of the beasts should be the property of the village.

With great joy, they created the body of a river bear and a mogul monkey, and said they were on their way home.

The worried villagers clapped out when they heard that the delay was due to a handful of carcasses being transported.

The village chief's daughter brought me breakfast, so the three of them ate.

The village chief's daughter took care of Doriatessa after that.

Gordon Zarkos began to snore when he took care of his armor, sleeping on the roots of the trees in front of the cabin with pillows.

And Jurchaga slept in the shade beside him.

After seeing how the three horses had been kept by the village chief, Bardo returned to the cabin.

The village chief was in a terrible upbeat mood and had given the horses plenty of leaves to keep.

"Sir Zarkos.

I heard you quickly defeated one river bear and three Mogura monkeys. "

It was Doriatessa who talked to him.

Looks like I'm totally back in shape, and I had dinner with puffiness.

"Hey.

Thanks to Lord Bardo for the archery.

Otherwise, I wouldn't be using a battlehammer.

Besides, this Jurchaga told me quickly that Mogura monkeys were coming at me.

Otherwise, it hurt. "

I see Gordon laughing happily, and Doriatessa's mouth is loose too.

"It was also Jurchaga who heard the call for help as soon as possible."

"Hmm.

Jurchaga's got a pretty good eye. "

"Hey.

I'd be lit up if I was so complimented.

hehe. "

Doriatesa doesn't seem suspicious or offended that Jurchaga, introduced to the family of Simon Epivarez, Earl of Linz, eats about the same seat and has a much more pleasant mouth.

It is unusual for a nobleman in the centre of the continent.

Maybe he thinks of Uncle Linz as a remote or low-born bastard.

In fact, Jurchaga has always been quite a well-known and sold bandit in the south.

I'm stuck on Bardo's journey to see what I liked.

Speaking of Baldo Lowen, he is a flowing knight who is old enough to quit his home and make a casual journey towards Spiritual Peak Fusa.

Gordon Zarkos became a pushy companion on his journey, but he is actually a lord of the realm, albeit small.

It can be described as an odd threesome that is roughly difficult to read about the relationship.

"And if you mean martial arts, it doesn't even reach the feet of Lord Bardo, such as the Awkward.

My uncle defended the villagers by defeating three river bears and a river bear warcraft by himself. "

"Eh!

Warcraft?

And the river bear's?

Oh, my God. "

Faced suddenly by a faint Doriatessa, Gordon said, "Take a good look at your uncle's leather armor.

Baldo's leather armor is spread over straw scraps after care.

Doriatessa asked Bardo for forgiveness before looking at the shiatsu armor to her hand.

Krask's Leather Armor Artisan Porpo is an exquisite dish for the benefactor Baldo.

"This is the leather armor of the Warcraft.

The tailoring is simple, but what splendid.

I see.

It is not normal leather.

This is it. "

Doriatessa thanked Bardo and Gordon for the correct posture and said in a changed voice.

"Sir Lowen.

Sir Zarkos.

Lord Jurchaga.

I can't thank you enough for helping me where I am in distress.

It's too thick for me to like you, but can you tell me?

Where can I hunt warcraft? "

Gordon and Jurchaga looked more at Baldo.

He thinks Bardo should answer this question.

Bardo explained that he rarely encounters warcraft at any periphery, except that the territory protected by the old main Tercian family of Bardo is at the cleavage of the Great Barrier, with about a dozen to twenty warcraft appearing annually.

"The cleavage of the Great Barrier.

Is there really such a thing?

Pacra territory, huh?

How far is it from here? "

Bardo looked at Jurchaga.

This is Jurchaga's specialty.

"Hmm.

It depends on the road, but I wonder if it's about two hundred and fifty minutes.

I think it's going to take about 40 to 50 days for someone who knows the way to crush a horse and spends plenty of money on bait or something. "

"Fifty days one way..."

"It's Jurchaga.

Haven't you been back and forth from Krask to Linz in thirty days?

"I could do that because I want it, Gordon's husband.

Amateurs can't just play around with horses loaded with travel luggage.

Fifty days to Pakura is a story about not being attacked by a beast, not being in bad weather, not being lost in any way, not having to work on food, knowing very well that there might be water, and being quite used to preparing the camp.

For real, the princess alone could cost twice as much.

It's faster to tailor a speedboat down the Ova or cross the river and run the meadows, I guess. "

"This is... tough.

But I guess so.

Sir Lowen.

Would it be possible for me to go to the land of Pacra, to be added to the hunt of the Warcraft, and to receive the head of the prey? "

Bardo replied.

In the Tercia family, women are not allowed to possess weapons, nor are they allowed to stand before their enemies.

No matter how much martial arts the Viscount possesses, while one Tercian knight lives, he will not expose you to the claws and fangs of the Warcraft.

Do you want the head of the Warcraft?

If so, write a letter and let Jurchaga have it.

Reach the head of the Warcraft in the lid moon.

The head of the Warcraft is in the Tercia family and is a sign of honor.

It is rare to be able to take a head in good condition enough to deserve preservation.

Still, Bardo thought that if he asked for it, he would listen to the impossibility.

It can be considered an unthinkable favor towards a female nobleman from another country whom I have just met.

Nevertheless, Bardo stepped on that perhaps this answer was not where this Viscount wanted it to be.

Despite the proposal, Doriatessa replied:

"What courtesy.

It hurts.

But you can't do that.

It doesn't make sense unless it's a warcraft I defeated myself.

At least if you give me a knife, that won't be my handle.

Besides, I have to go back to the Imperial Capital by the end of the year.

We don't have time to go back and forth over the full moon. "

Then she told her story.

8

The emperor king of the Goriola empire has a princess named Shernelia.

The youngest of fourteen princes and eleven princesses, especially adored.

Princess Shernelia is about the age to choose a partner, but this princess, because of her love of stories, secretly has a desire to be united with the lord she likes if she can.

Of course, I am well aware that I am required to marry in the national interest as the princess of the Empire, and I have never spoken of selfishness.

But even the royal king wants to marry the one who accompanies the will of the princess as much as possible, as long as he is a beneficial opponent for the royal family.

Twice before, he held a ball and a gardening party to set the rules for the nobles.

But until now, there has been no one in the princess's heart.

Therefore, he was ordered to attend the Border Racing Martial Arts Association, which will be held next April, in the name of the King.

Let me have the inclusions that I may choose a companion from the knights of the kingdom of Parzam.

Doesn't mean letting a princess marry another country.

Let the princess set up a new house in the Imperial Palace and let the knight move in.

Doriatessa is the princess of the Marquis Farren family.

The mother is the third seat next side room, but the father loved every child without separation.

The righteous queen of the Father Marquis was a descendant from the royal family, also on its edge, and when Princess Shernelia was born, Doriatessa was chosen as an alumni.

It was when Princess Shernelia turned three that she actually served the Royal Palace as an alumni, and Doriatessa was five years old.

They became good friends with each other.

At the same time, a strong sense of mission sprouted in Doriatessa's mind to protect the princess.

The Goriola Empire has the position of a female martial officer.

It is a position to protect the distinguished ladies in places and situations where they cannot accompany each other unless they are women.

About two hundred years ago, when the king was sick, there was a queen who stood on the battlefield and defended the country.

The queen supported the country as an empress for several years after the king's death.

Because of these traditions, there is still a trend to tolerate women's martial arts.

Doriatessa encouraged the training of martial arts and finally received the knight's reign.

The royal princess must always be accompanied by one or more knights to go anywhere.

Thanks to the knighthood of her favorite Doria Tessa, the princess can easily go anywhere in the large palace.

There are currently four female knights in the Goriola Empire, the other three escorting the Empress.

"That's how I've served you the whole time.

At the age of five he began to rise to the Imperial Palace, and at the age of twelve he became your alumni and female martial officer, and at the age of sixteen he became a knight.

And for another three years, I've served and protected you by your side. "

Wait.

That means you're nineteen now!

Bardo was stunned.

I was wondering if I was twenty-two, three years old, or maybe a little more.

Surprisingly, I praised myself for not putting it on the table.

Stomach is something I don't like to get old.

But there was a man here who had nothing to do with consideration.

"Heh.

Princess, I was nineteen.

I was wondering if you were twenty-two or three years old, or maybe more.

Come on, I'm surprised. "

Gordon Zarkos is nodding.

These idiots, Bardo thought, continued Jurchaga,

"Because the atmosphere is decent, or blooming?

Wow, she's beautiful. "

I said.

I'm smiling.

Quite a brilliant pack.

Doriatessa continued the conversation, not angry or illuminating.

"In the meantime, there was nothing.

For nothing, I am proud.

That would be a pleasure.

But "

Doriatessa dropped her gaze and lowered her voice slightly.

"I think somewhere in my heart.

Just once.

He wants to give the princess the victory he grabbed with this sword.

He wants the princess to be happy with something I won on my own.

Is this a mistake? "

Bardo did not answer.

"Even if you can put on an archery, such as a female knight, you can't have a game.

I can't even go to war.

I wanted to go out to the Border Race Martial Association, and I leaked it in a puffy way.

That was heard by the princess, who pushed me to the contestants.

His Majesty the King has received this unprecedented recommendation, but he has a proven track record in becoming a contestant.

I was given three months to do so.

If you crusade the Warcraft, you have a proven track record of no complaints.

I need a neck.

The Warcraft's neck.

If the princess's wedding is decided, I must leave the princess.

This is our first and last chance. "

Bardo was terribly unpleasant.

In the forty-eight years that Bardo served the Tercia family, there are few years in which a man did not die.

Even in the Goriola Empire, a small number of knights and soldiers must continue to give their lives.

I can't believe I regret not having had a chance to set up a handle while spending time in the safest part of the country.

I can say that I wanted to capture victory with my own sword, etc., is proof that I really don't know the value of that safety.

First, what kind of knight can be a sixteen-year-old while working in the royal palace?

And on my stomach.

I've never heard such a joke.

I was only angry.

But, uh, I wondered why my mind was so bothered, and I closed my eyes and asked myself why.

Then I saw my heart.

In my mind, I have been thinking that this is what a knight should be.

There is an ideal appearance that I have striven to be.

If I recognized this stomach as a knight, I felt it would hurt.

Also, I have an anger that I don't know how grateful I am to be protected by my stomach.

But why don't you take it off that you have to be a knight or a man or a woman?

A heart that desires to be of service to the beloved.

A heart that seeks signs that are convincing to me in my life.

This young man has such a heart, and hiatus, he tries to live with it.

I used to do that myself.

I did, and I said selfishly.

Master Elzella always admitted to me.

Isn't that good?

Whatever this young man's thoughts are sweet.

Whether this young man is a knight or not.

Either way, this young man is coming to a point where he can't turn back.

Yet he has been betrayed by an ally he believed in, he has become only one, and he still does not give up, and he has been informed where he can hunt warcraft.

It would be contrary to chivalry not to respond to this.

Even with this happening, the princess is not a princess.

When I open my eyes, we all look more at Bardo in silence.

Bardo took a deep breath, and vomited (is) thereafter, and told him briefly.

I shall assist the Viscount.

We'll find the Warcraft.

Gordon Zarkos barked, and Jurchaga nodded with a smile.

Doriatessa bowed her head deeply.

It's an unlikely challenge, but it's not until we do the best we can.

Nevertheless, I am not yet dead to disturb my heart like this.

Bardo laughed bitterly.
