Chapter 906 – Week 9 Tuesday (2)
The meal time ended in a softer atmosphere than before.
Marey, who didn’t know what was going on in the princess’s head, could only naively think that the princess had changed her mind or understood what she didn’t like about Celestine’s sudden change in attitude.
“It seems like Grandma really likes Marei. Once she gets used to running Walter Academy, she seems to want to leave the knights in charge.”
“… Knights?”
‘Cheer up today too!’ Cum. ‘It’s for my exclusive use, so don’t show it carelessly.’ Breast ejaculation, etc. Since she missed the essential(?) Routine that started from waking up to just before going to work, she had plenty of time left to go to and from work, so Marey had no choice but to spend time chatting lightly with Labella.
Of course, it was a light story on Marey’s part, and she was like a thunderbolt to the princess of Elvenheim, which borders Valter.
“Yes, it seemed like you were very satisfied with the tactical exam that took place yesterday. He thought that the Imperial Military Academy was unnecessarily long, so he decided that it would be better to quickly learn a lot from Lord Nemuah while taking on the position of Knight Commander.”
“The military academy’s curriculum is long… ?”
Although Marei was not very interested in military academies, she still knew that it was an institution where the empire’s elite gathered to receive training and higher education.
Although the education at the military academy was shorter at 4 years compared to the 6 years of a typical imperial university course, it was still something that Marei, who knew through Gilia, could not easily agree to the fact that it was tightly packed for the sake of the selected elites within the empire. .
“Main… Marey is smart and works hard at everything. It’s a waste for her to go to military academy~! “When I go in, it’s hard to see her often!”
She used her cover fire to instill negative thoughts about Illien’s military academy.
“Well, I’m still manly enough. I don’t think she needs to go to the military. Doesn’t the Empire recognize Knight Commander Walter as a division commander? Labella… ?”
“It’s not written down, but Lord Nemuah said so in the field.”
Labella smiled and answered as Idrien was struggling to ask, wondering whether he should use the word ‘nim’ or not.
“If you need training as an officer, rather than starting with basic training like at a military academy, you can take training at Walter Military College as a new knight commander.”
Please note that this area is also managed by the Government General. Labella added.
Celestine tries to think about what Lauren is thinking about entrusting the leadership of a knight to a kid who seems to be nothing special other than being cute in front of her, and what kind of mentality Ravella is taking for granted, but she can’t even figure out her outline. Br〉
“Ah, that would be great! You can also commute from home! Because without my cute Marey, I would have no energy! Huh,~? Huh,~? “It’s like a military academy, don’t go!”
Illien, who was sitting next to Marey, was my master. No, he’s my friend’s cute son now. He hugs Marei tightly to his chest and shakes her body from side to side, remembering his life at the military school where he knows it is difficult to come out even on weekends.
“Tsk… Soo, I’m suffocating… Oh, I’m not going… Wren… Sister. Tsk… Breath…”
Seeing Marey wanting to escape by tapping her chest with his palm, Illien hugs her even more mischievously, making up for not receiving much affection from his master yesterday.
Celestine looked at Marey, who was buried in Illien’s chest, with a strange look on her face, and then secretly looked down at her own chest. It wasn’t small, but compared to the breasts of the Ksakru sisters, it was like nothing.
She thought that when she got a little older she would grow up like her mother and aunt, but she knew that even if she did, she would never be like Illien or Idrien or their mother, Duchess Ariel.
Well, if it grows to that point recklessly, it will cause more harm than good. Her mother and aunt often said that they were uncomfortable with large breasts, and as her breasts grew, she had to worry about them little by little, so she was aware of the difficulties they both faced.
“… I don’t think it’s good either. “You can focus and study for what you need anyway, but following a set curriculum is a waste of time.”
Even in a situation where he is buried in Illien’s chest and unable to talk properly, Idrien also lets out a word as if he wishes Marey not to go to her military academy.
“Still… There is also Lord Nemuah, and he holds the position of Knight Commander… “Is it right for Marey, who doesn’t know anything, to do this, Lavela?”
“Marey is talented enough, and Lord Nemuah calls him the title of Knight Commander considering his internal and external role, but his original position is Deputy Knight Commander. “The head of the knighthood is a position held by the head of the Pawen family or the head of the small head of the family.”
Seeing Lavela speaking clearly as if she would not accept her disagreement, Celestine could not say anything and could only nod her head as if she understood.
Although it was called the Governor-General, Walter’s administration, public security, and even the military were all owned by Lorraine. Even the empire recognized it as the territory of the Pawen family.
The reason it was named Governor-General was because, unlike other general fiefdoms, it did not pay taxes to the empire and was free from some obligations, so it was a name it maintained.
“Not just a knight order, but if you are the head of a knight order directly under the governor…”
“Yes, I have a certain level of command over the Walter Army. I might get to meet the princess often.”
Celestine glanced at Marey, who was still being held by Illien. Considering that both Lavelle and Lauren were highly regarded, it was difficult to dismiss her as simply a boy with a lot of dirty thoughts.
On top of that, the role of knight commander held tightly by the family’s owner, which even Labella couldn’t take on.
Of course, this does not mean that the profession of knight has enormous prestige unlike in the past. As technology continued to develop, the number of knights in Elvenheim was decreasing, and the same was true in the Empire.
Considering the supply and maintenance costs required to run one knight, it was more efficient to use a line infantry battalion or a ranger company.
However, the current position of the knight was also difficult to completely replace since the knight was an essential human resource to deal with high-level forces that could be evaluated as using magic power ‘professionally’.
Compared to the Continental War, the only place where the number of Knights Templars increased was the Viceroyalty. In a situation where line infantry was being deployed and artillery was also expanding at a surprising rate, the position of knights was bound to be narrowed, but it was difficult to ignore its utility.
If placed on the battlefield, it would be difficult to show overwhelming power as before, but from the perspective of being a murder weapon that can march hundreds of kilometers a day if only the heavy armor is thrown away, it is one of the types of troops that can be used in infinite ways. I could also see it.
Of course, if you think about the knights wearing armor studded with various magic created by putting dozens of luxurious mansions in one armor, you could see them as an asymmetrical force like those who achieved the ultimate swordsmanship or the archmage with the title of marquess of the empire. 〈 Br〉
The emperor was also reducing the number of knights, but the four knights, which were her greatest strength, were trying to maintain them by pushing in more budget.
Leave that knighthood to a kid like that.
“… Labella, are you okay?”
“I think Marey is the next head of the Pawen family.”
Seeing Labella answering as if it was obvious, Celestine glanced again at her Marei, who was being loved by her older sisters.
“Still…”
“I think my role is to support Marei so that she can grow up well and not be too busy with the governor’s work.”
Isn’t this a too one-sided sacrifice? Celestine looked at Marei again, her face full of dissatisfaction. I admit that she was a child I wanted to pet, but even so, it was strange for her to be treated so devotedly.
Suddenly, a bunch of recorded videos came to mind, but Celestine, who had succeeded in convincing herself once again that it was Marei’s delusion, let out a short sigh.
“And, he is the perfect person to have as my master.”
“Yes? “What did you just say?”
“… I said you were the perfect person to serve as the head of the family?”
Celestine, unable to say that she had heard of the matriarch as her master, cleared her throat slightly and nodded her head. It seemed like she heard it was the master, but she must have heard wrong.
“Still, I don’t think I’ll be better than Lavela.”
“Hehe, it might just look that way.”
Celestine pouted her lips and turned her head to see Ravella treating her like her child.
“At first, I simply thought of him as a child to be taught, a nephew to be educated. “After experiencing it myself, I realized what an incredible man he was.”
“… A man?”
“Yes, man.”
It was a strangely unpleasant word. That video was the problem. Pervert kid. You have this delusion of training Labella, who is so devoted to yourself, and you even make a video of it.
No, can you save your fantasy as a video?
Celestine began to have reasonable (?) Doubts, feeling strangely uneasy, but he couldn’t help but deceive himself into thinking that such a situation could not exist.
Because he didn’t want to believe until he saw it with his own eyes that Labella, whom he respected and admired the most, was crushed and crying under his young son.
The princess’s eyes, as she looked at Marei, mixed with doubt and suspicion again, and her gaze at the boy began to become sharper little by little.
