episode_0548

When news spread that a battle with the Knights of Arn was prepared. Those who belonged to the 1st Knights thought that something was coming, but they also harbored fear in their hearts.

Those who are currently knights of the kingdom have all grown up listening to the heroic stories of Benedick Aln or have seen his activities right from the side.

Therefore, most of those standing here now have dreamed of becoming knights of Aln. I imagined writing a heroic story alongside the hero who protects the kingdom.

However, their dreams did not become reality.

It was not because the Aln family had placed restrictions.

Benedick Aln allowed anyone who was confident in their skills to take the test.

Instead, they did not catch those who tried to run away during the test. He threw away his pride and helped him escape.

Therefore, the knights who took the exam in Aln could not forget the scenes of that day.

A test that lasted several nights.

A hell where I was certain I would lose my life if I didn’t give up.

Ever since I escaped from that hell, I have lived with a sense of defeat every day.

It would have been better if they had not even allowed me to take the exam.

How happy would I have been if I didn’t know that the person I thought was a genius was actually a person of no special significance.

If he had taken the test to join the kingdom’s knights from the beginning and remained loyal, wouldn’t he have been able to avoid being crushed by this sense of defeat?

Although they were knights who were clearly in a position that everyone envied, there was always a sense of defeat in their hearts.

And even after a long time passed, this feeling of defeat did not fade, but rather deepened and was given the name of inferiority complex.

“The legend of the Knights of Arn ended decades ago!”

The kingdom’s knight commander raises his voice. A person who has a deeper hatred for Benedick Aln than anyone else strengthens his fists.

“The people competing with us now are only half-peppers who haven’t had a chance to fight in a real fight for a long time!”

What the knight commander said was right. Benedick, who had been living in seclusion since his wife died, was imprisoned in his domain along with the knights of the Arn family.

On the other hand, what about the Kingdom’s 1st Knights? Those who claimed to be the swords protecting the kingdom lived every day in combat.

“The victory this time is not based on individual strength! This is the perfection of a knighthood! No matter how monstrous Benedick Aln is, he is one in the end! I can’t complete the entire knighthood alone!”

The knights who heard the knight commander shouting with excitement in their hearts harbored a feeling of uncertainty.

Even if they had collapsed in the past, wouldn’t it be different now that they desperately wielded weapons to overcome that feeling of defeat?

Wouldn’t it be possible for them to defeat the knights of Aln if they had engraved the scent of blood on their bodies while they were sunset in peace?

“Put the honor of the royal palace on the line! You are the elite of this country!”

Commander of the kingdom’s knights. Tabol smiled excitedly as he watched the knights raising their voices together.

What happened at the Patran family party last year was a great humiliation for me.

I was called an idiot for playing around by a little girl, I was scolded by my family, and I was subtly ignored by many knights.

But that too ends today. If the knights of the kingdom I have raised so far succeed in suppressing Benedick Aln’s knights, my ability will be proven!

Benedick Alln. I may not be able to defeat you with my own strength. However, force is not the only power that exists in this world.

Let’s take a look. What would happen to a group of knights who have been sleeping in peace for decades?

He grinned as he looked at the knights with bright eyes, then turned his gaze towards the court’s space magician.

During the incident that occurred at Soul Academy not long ago, the space magician, who had tarnished the palace’s honor by failing to use space magic properly, prepared magic with his subordinates even though he was sweating profusely.

“It worked out right this time, right?”

“Nothing. of course. 1st Knight Commander.”

“I hope you don’t fail. If I report your incompetence again, many people will lose their heads.”

Tabor, who stepped into the realm of teleportation with a cruel laugh, clicked his tongue as he took in the sight of the green meadows. If possible, I was hoping to fail once more. Too bad.

“Did you come first and wait?”

The knights of the Aln family were warming up here before the kingdom’s knights.

They seem to be nervous about this too, right?

It’s been a long time since I’ve played in a real game, so it’s natural to relax my stiff body.

hmm?

Tabor froze for a moment when he saw Aln’s knights moving their bodies like crazy.

Why is the sword wielded by a single knight so heavy?

When you look at his face, he doesn’t seem to be that old, but how can he have such skills?

no. It’s not just me. The weapons wielded by others are also heavy.

There is nothing that can be easily responded to.

…Calm down. These are monsters that went through Aln’s hellish training.

It was already expected that the body would be strong.

They’re definitely strong, but that doesn’t mean the gap between them and us is extreme.

Just as we repeated their hellish training, we also lived in hell.

A difference of this size can be narrowed down through experience.

While Tabor swallowed his saliva after checking the level of the knights, the knights of the kingdom who arrived after him strengthened their hands while examining the opponent who was warming up.

“Lu. Lucy! Just wait a moment! Is it really okay to wear that armor!? At least anything else above.”

“That’s right! miss! Even if it was made by a legendary blacksmith, it is!”

It was that time. A father and daughter from the Aln family appeared behind the knights training.

Normally, the knights’ gaze would have turned to Benedick, the man they all admired.

The symbolism of Benedick Aln is at a level that overwhelms everything else. But this time was different.

The gaze that was originally supposed to be directed at the large knight turned to the girl bouncing around in front of him.

Lucy Aln, a girl praised as the incarnation of a goddess who came down from the sky, was wearing bizarre armor that even a low-class adventurer would not wear.

no. Should that be called armor in the first place?

How can that be armor as it barely covers only the areas that need to be covered?

A high-quality cloth was placed over the armor to prevent skin from being exposed, but that was it.

The clothes that clearly revealed the lines of the body were something that a dancer somewhere would wear.

noble family. A daughter from the Aln family, a renowned frontier count, would wear clothes like that!

The knights who had been trained as knights of the kingdom blinked at the sight that went against their common sense.

Do you even know what other people think?

Lucy Alln calmly and playfully laughed even after discovering the 1st Knights.

“Huh?♡ Can’t you show others like this?♡”

“Why are you asking the obvious!”

“Why?♡ Why can’t I show it?♡ Is there something wrong with my cute and cool appearance?♡ I don’t know?♡”

“That. That is.”

“Why?♡ What strange thoughts did you have that made you say you can’t show it?♡ I really want to hear it from your dirty and disgusting mouth?♡”

The knights of the kingdom, including Tabor, knew very well what the answer would be.

It is enough to say that there are formalities that must be observed as noble women.

However, the people of the Arn family, including Benedick Aln, were only embarrassed by the self-righteous girl’s words and were unable to console her.

“Huh. I was nervous for no reason. I never thought the Knights of Aln would be like this.”

A laugh escapes from the words spoken by one of the kingdom’s knights. Is Moore the strongest knighthood on the continent?

How can this place, where they can’t even give proper advice to one arrogant girl, become the fear of the continent?

“Look here.”

“Why are you doing that? Did we say something we shouldn’t have said?”

The knights of Aln who heard the ridicule gained momentum, but the knights of the kingdom who saw the disgusting behavior just straightened their shoulders.

“No matter how much she is the daughter of the family, she doesn’t say anything when she sees that face.”

“Where on earth did the driver’s attitude get thrown away?”

Even before the confrontation begins, war is brewing between the knights.

The atmosphere felt like a fight would break out the moment someone gave a signal.

It was a time when everyone was holding their own weapons and waiting for what would happen soon. Lucy Aln, who was in the back, jumped out in front of the kingdom’s knights.

“Hey♡ A pitiful, trashy article♡”

“…Are you calling me?”

“You even figured it out?♡ There are a lot of similar idiots besides you♡ I guess he was just a loser who has never held a woman’s hand like he looks like?♡”

The driver standing in front trembled at the corners of his lips as he uttered an insult that would have been hard to hear even in the middle of nowhere.

“What are you doing?”

“You said you would tell me?♡ Where is the problem with my cute and cool armor♡”

“Everything is a problem. The daughter of a noble earl’s family wears armor like this!”

“Hey♡ Hey♡ Don’t you understand what I’m saying?♡ Are you of low intelligence and can’t understand people?♡ I definitely asked you to tell me what the problem was?♡”

The answer to the question of what the problem was was simple.

exposure.

There are so many places that are revealed.

Places that a virgin would have to hide are clearly exposed.

However, the driver could not bear to say these words. That was because I was afraid of Benedick’s sharp gaze coming from behind Lucy Alln.

“Why can’t you talk?♡ You used to yell at my dogs, but now why are you silent?♡ Huh?♡”

“…”

The knight was praying to get out of this situation as soon as possible, but Lucy Alln did not let him go.

Instead, he took a step forward and raised the corners of his mouth.

“Did you really lust after me?♡”

“Nothing. What to say!”

“Push♡ Puhahahahaha♡ Look how embarrassed you are♡ I see♡ The first knights of the kingdom were a group of perverts who only glanced at the countess’s flesh because they wanted to see it?♡”

“No! Don’t insult me!”

“No?♡ No, why can’t you make eye contact?♡ Why can’t you look at me properly?♡ Huh?♡ Huh?♡”

The knight swears by his sword that he has never been interested in a small child. He was clearly a person with a normal tendency toward achievement.

but.

okay. but.

Because the beauty of the young lady named Lucy Alln before his eyes was beyond the standard.

And because that young lady directly uttered the word “lust,” I became conscious of it.

I just couldn’t make eye contact.

“Wow♡ No♡ I was looking at this correctly♡”

“…Yes?”

“Phew♡ Sorry♡ It was so small I didn’t notice it♡”

While offering words of apology.

Even though he covered his hands pretending to cover up his laughter.

I have no intention of holding back laughter at all.

He saw a girl looking down on him with her eyes.

The knight lost his temper and swung his fist, but the fist did not reach Lucy Aln.

Lucy Aln, who bounced with a light dance-like gait, easily dodged the knight’s fist.

“The pepper is poor♡ The fist is also poor♡ The personality is also poor♡ The article is poor♡”

“Lady…!”

“How did something like this become a knight of the kingdom?♡ The leader is an idiot. Are all those under him made up of idiots?♡”

As the ridicule spreads, the eyes of the kingdom’s knights become sharper. After seeing him, the Knights of Arn prepared to clash, but Lucy Arn blocked them.

“Why don’t you do it anymore?♡ Did you do it because you thought you would punish me?♡”

“You will regret it.”

“What do you say?♡ You should regret it♡ For the rest of your life, you will be recorded as an asshole who gave a girl a shit♡”

A title that matches the shattered top is Lucy Alln’s provocation. The knight rushes in and Lucy Alln takes out her shield.

Thus began the first confrontation between the Knights of Arn and the Knights of the Kingdom.
