A man who appeared to be in his mid-30s was sitting in the office. I silently handed over the documents. His complexion looked a bit worn out. It wasn’t because of recent fatigue; this was his original face.
He is the official first-in-command of the Teutonic Knights, Liszt.
List looked at the battered knights kneeling in front of him with a cold face.
Everyone’s faces were swollen from being beaten by Liszt.
“It went too far.”
“….”
“I will ask you for the last time. “Why did you touch Windsor?”
Charon bit his molars.
“It was their fault for starting the fight, but it was their fault for attacking first. “No knight, no matter how much of a guard he is, stands still after being attacked.”
“You show your pride to the end. “I didn’t ask that.”
Charon looked at the floor and spoke as if he was being crushed.
“…I’m angry.”
“why?”
“Because His Majesty’s first order was just that.”
“Something like that?”
“…I didn’t come to Teutonic to take care of young children. “I came to do something more, something greater.”
“Great deal. “Puhup.”
Judith laughed, covering her mouth as if she couldn’t bear it anymore. Charon glared fiercely. Judith quickly returned to her expressionless face.
“The little one is you, Charon.”
“…!”
Charon looked up at the list in surprise.
“Why do you think I haven’t retired yet?”
Liszt’s age was 36. It was already too early to talk about retirement, but he was too old to remain in the Teutonic Order, the strongest knight order. Because it’s past its prime.
“It’s only because of you.”
Currently, the Teutons were just about to cross generations.
The next Teuton’s skills are outstanding. Among them, these five were special. It could be said that it was the greatest of all time.
In particular, a young prosecutor named Shearer had the kind of qualities that even Liszt, who was called a ‘sword master’, had never seen before. Although he would still win narrowly, he could be confident that in just one year his talent would blossom even further.
But Liszt could not retire. That was because of Charon.
Currently, Charon is the only general manager in Teutonic. No matter how much one does not look at one’s status, if the status of someone like the leader is low, the entire knighthood will be seen as easygoing.
Above all, Charon had no hesitation in making decisions, and his ideas were consistent with the ideas that Teutons should have.
The problem was visibility.
“You have too narrow a view. Charon. It’s the same when fighting. I only look at the situation right in front of me without thinking about what comes next. Therefore, you cannot defeat Judith, who has weaker conditions than you.”
Charon’s expression hardened.
“I admit it. I can’t beat Judith. But that’s a compatibility issue. “My strength lies in exploiting loopholes, but Judith’s strength lies in prudence.”
“No, the reason you can’t defeat Judith is because of your difference in fighting sense. Judith does not force herself to do anything. But you try even though you know you won’t succeed.”
Charon raised his head.
“I don’t think that’s a bad thing. Because if you’ve been hurt once, you’ll never be hurt again.”
“right. That’s why you’re the vice-captain. Charon, you often make incomprehensible accidents, but you learn a lot from your failures. But there is a downside that you have to experience. That’s why the field of view is narrow. “I made a mistake this time that I shouldn’t have made.”
“…That Confucius is so important. They were the ones who attacked first, and they were the ones who lost without a show. “I couldn’t even cut a single hair from that little boy.”
I could feel the humiliation in Charon’s words. List explained calmly.
“Lude Christopher, the subject of your escort, is a magical genius. He announced a new theory of magic and not only put to rest the strife between commoners and nobles, which was a chronic problem at the Academy, but also established a strong barrier to prepare for invasion by foreign powers. “All of this was achieved in less than a year after enrolling.”
The list covered the documents. It was written there.
[Teutonic Knights Succession Document]
That was a document stating that List would step down from his position as leader and be replaced by Charon.
Liszt sat in a comfortable posture with his hands clasped together. He said with an expression that put down a heavy burden.
“His Majesty wanted the Academy, the future of the empire, to develop. That’s why I appointed Michael as an aide. When Prince Ruid changes the main flow, Aide Michael touches on the details. You will achieve many achievements. And next to them are you, His Majesty’s direct personal guard. This proves that Prince Louis has a close relationship with His Majesty. “What will be the result of this?”
List paused for a moment and then continued.
“It is the strengthening of the imperial authority.”
“…!”
“Previous emperors were only friendly with the Windsors and never actually took advantage of their power. Because Windsor did not allow it. However, as Louis Christopher, it was an opportunity to prove that he had a closer relationship with Windsor than any other royal family in history. “How many opportunities will there be to develop feelings of favor towards Windsor while using him?”
“….”
“The reason he entrusted such an important task to you was because His Majesty trusted you so much. “It’s natural to put out the card you consider most important at the most important moment.”
A cold silence followed. Charon couldn’t raise his head. The rest of the knights did the same.
“Be ashamed. “Not only did you disobey His Majesty’s orders, but you also committed an irreparable sin.”
Charon bit his lip. List said.
“Remember what will happen from now on. And you just have to feel that you will never repeat it again. That’s it. “I take responsibility.”

Irene stepped on the front door of the imperial palace with a smile on her face.
A place where the Imperial Knights gather. Among them, on the outskirts was the building of the Teutonic Knights.
All Teutons live here and train here. It was meant to develop skills and bonds together, but…
Irene knew. Unlike other knights, the Teutons only look at skill.
You don’t have to be noble, and you don’t have to be classy. It doesn’t matter if you’re a criminal. All you see is skill. As a result, I have a lot of strange friends.
In other words, things like bonding were bullshit. The reason the Teutons were on the outermost side of the imperial family was partly for the purpose of isolation. Don’t get into an accident.
“huh? “It’s my first time seeing him.”
“hi. Cute puppy.”
Irene was wearing a black coat over her uniform. He was so neatly dressed that you couldn’t tell he was a knight. Above all, my skin was too white. As if I had never seen sunlight before.
You could only tell that he was a high-ranking person by his subtle elegance.
“Yumma. Just by looking at him, he is a high-ranking person.”

“The High One? “Are you even a duke?”
The Teutons are a group that bows to no one except the imperial family. So I laughed.
“I’m sorry, but you took the wrong route to request this. Go to His Majesty. “We only listen to his orders.”
“Hmm.”
Irene stroked her chin.
I tilted my head.
“I didn’t hear that.”
“…what?”
“You don’t listen to His Majesty, do you?”
Irene said as if it was cute.
The knight who had just finished training frowned.
“Is this an insult?”
Irene brought her right hand to her eyes and made a scissors shape. One hand was behind his back.
Immediately, the inside of her walls burned blue.
“That kid is not good at controlling his magic power. So, if you use a little bit of magic, your eyes will look like this. Is not it cute?”
The Teutonic knight frowned at Irene’s incomprehensible words.
“Is this woman out of her mind?”
Irene bent down slightly and showed her eyes in detail.
And the Teutonic knight realized. The mouth is smiling, but the eyes are infinitely cold.
The sight was bizarre. It was scary at the same time. If I looked at this woman’s eyes for too long, I felt like my soul would be stolen.
Irene spoke in a quiet voice.
“Have you never seen it?”
“…what?”
“I guess there isn’t one.”
Irene straightened her back with a strange smile.
“…!”
At that moment, the Teutonic knight broke into a cold sweat and tried to draw his sword. But-
Pugh!
Blood spurted from my shoulder. The two Teutonic knights fell to the ground.
“Hey, it’s an enemy attack!”
He cried out hysterically as he collapsed on the cold floor. Irene stayed still, as if she didn’t really care.
Quang!
The wall of the building next door broke and Galahad appeared holding a spear. Without a moment of hesitation, Galahad struck Irene from above with the force of splitting her in half.
Okay!
Galahad’s spear was broken.
“Nonsense.”
‘It was definitely reached.’
The spear landed on the back of Irene’s neck. However, it was his own window that was broken.
“Are your other friends late?”
“what…?”
Puhaaagh!
Galahad slowly looked down. An X was drawn on his chest.
‘Suddenly…?’
Galahad knelt down. I had no strength in my whole body.
“Galahead!”
I could see other colleagues through the broken wall. Galahad struggled to turn his head and speak.
‘Do not come.’
Irene saw them too. In particular, Caron, whose right shoulder was frozen, and Shearer, whose hands were frozen, stood out.
“long time no see. “Caron.”
When Charon saw Irene, he barely suppressed the feeling that his legs were going to give out. My two eyes were shaking slightly.
“…Irene Windsor.”
“Uh, Windsor?”
Shearer, with a stern expression, stepped forward.
“stop.”
The corners of his eyes fluttered as if he was nervous.
“If it’s weird, I’ll cut you.”
Shearer instinctively placed his hand on the sword handle. It was the moment when I was about to pull it out.
I made eye contact with Irene. Irene was looking at herself with a smiling face.
“…!”
Shearer felt it.
‘If you pull this out, you will die.’
As soon as I pulled it out, I could clearly see a future where my head would be rolling around on the floor. Shearer couldn’t lift a finger.
Irene took a step. She walked slowly, neither fast nor slow, to where Shearer was.
It felt long. But no one could move until Irene arrived at Shearer’s side.
Irene whispered in Shearer’s ear.
“You saw it? “My sword.”
Irene’s smile grew darker.
Shearer felt the fear of death for the first time.

Amelia swung her sword in a trance.
It was that moment.
Jang!
Ruid’s practice sword fell weakly to the floor.
Amelia wiped away the sweat and looked to the right.
“Louis.”
…Luid was sleeping. The sword fell as he lost consciousness.
“Louis, Louis, Louis.”
Amelia shook Luid.
“Ugh…”
Ruid slowly opened his eyes with a sleepy face.
“one more time.”
“It’s already been 20 hours.”
Ruid said he would help with training with great vigor.
Amelia surprisingly accepted willingly, and that’s when this situation began.
Amelia just couldn’t rest!
The problem is that Ruid’s average sleep time is 20 hours a day.
Of course, 4 hours was an unreasonable number for Amelia. Ruid had to give up sleep.
It was truly a huge price paid. But I had no idea it would be like this.
For the first time in his life, Ruid was awake for 20 hours.
“Don’t do that.”
Amelia stood up Lloyd.
“Save me, save me.”
“I’m sleepy because I’m lying down.”
Amelia picked up Lloyd and sat him on a chair. Ruid struggled, but it was meaningless.
“tomorrow… “Let’s do it tomorrow.”
When Amelia heard those words, she lowered her head with a downcast face.
“I guess so, right? “Now it’s time to sleep.”
“huh.”
“Because even if a talentless person like you does something like this, your skills won’t change.”
Cold sweat broke out on Luid’s forehead.
“It’s a pointless struggle….”
“Okay. “You can do it.”
“really?”
Amelia smiled brightly.
He moved his magic with an expression that made him feel like he was going to die from exhaustion. Amelia’s eyes sparkled as if she had a new toy, and she began sparring with the virtual enemy.
visor!
The sword in the air, replicating Charon’s swordsmanship, collided with Amelia constantly.
It was time for Ruid to relax and yawn as he watched the scene. I felt a presence and turned my head. Amelia also stopped practicing for a moment.
It was Galahad. He came staggering forward with a deep stab wound to his chest.
“Win, Windsor.”
Amelia hurriedly covered Lloyd’s eyes.
“Is there a problem. “Is it an attack?”
“That’s not it.”
He seemed to have difficulty even speaking.
“Irene Windsor, at the imperial palace…”
Blood poured out loudly.
He got down on his knees.
“You are the only one who can stop me. Please. “Please stop that crazy monster. You will pay the price, one way or another.”
