The next morning, Leverticia was called by the emperor and had an early audience with him.
“her. This is true.”
The emperor smirked and looked at Leverticia.
Except for the day of the official appointment of the knights commander, it was a personal meeting.
The emperor was busy with his own affairs, and Leverticia was busy with her own.
The Emperor pinched Leverticia’s cheek curiously. “I really can’t believe it.”
“Oh, it’s fine. hehe.”
“sorry. no. That’s amazing. Is this the real Sir Leverticia?”
“I am already answering the seventeenth time now. Stop asking.”
“Mmm. Seeing you stretch out like this naturally to me, I think it’s true.”
Rebertisha’s eyes narrowed at the expression of the emperor, who was immediately convinced.
Why does everyone recognize me like that? Because what was my usual image?
Whether Leverticia was dissatisfied or not, the Emperor seemed to have completely trusted her with her tone of voice.
“After all, the only thing that makes Jim laugh is the hon. I can feel the nostalgia because I have the same face as 10 years ago.”
“Don’t treat it like a gag troupe that has returned after a long absence.” “Hey, he couldn’t have been treated so terribly.”
“….”
Leverticia admitted.
The emperor is also the emperor. Seeing that smirkful personality that hasn’t changed since then, I felt like I knew it.
“Hmm. Then the tearful reunion is about to end.” “Because you didn’t even cry.”
“It’s the message you gave through Duke Valtail.”
The emperor started an important story while neatly cutting off the story that was unfavorable to me.
“Duke Everett is holding hands with the Warlock. Is this really a sure story?”
The emperor’s brow furrowed slightly.
Although the Emperor and the Duke of Everett were politically opposed, this was not simply a matter of being static or not.
If it were true that he had partnered with a warlock, he was a transcontinental criminal.
Leverticia nodded her head.
“Sure. He admitted it, and the Nsody guy spoke as if he knew something before he collapsed.”
“Hmm, when will he wake up?” “I’m still not sure about that….”
Nsody was receiving adequate treatment and care within the Valtale mansion, but still showed no sign of opening her eyes.
At first I thought it was a simple fainting, but by this time it became clear that he had a problem.
“It’s unfortunate. Well, things never go so well.”
The emperor leaned back. Leverticia, who had been in trouble for a moment, opened her mouth.
“your majesty. I would like to ask you a favor.” “Request?”
“Yes. The prison where I was incarcerated not long ago.” “iced coffee.”
He nodded as if he knew where the emperor was.
It was unforgettable, even because of the match that Kaiers played at the nobles meeting that day.
“why? Did you think of someone who suddenly became unfair and wanted to throw him away?”
“There are already many such characters, but what I want to ask is the other side.”
“Something?”
Leverticia sighed a little and opened her mouth. “There is one person in it….”

Taang—
A powerful gunshot that seemed to tear the eardrums echoed through the sky.
“Kye-yeah!”
At the same time, a ghastly scream of a monster rang out. The sound was so terrible that even well-trained knights covered their ears.
shudder.
But with a blunt expression on his face as if nothing had happened, Kaius reloaded his gun.
bang! Clap, Tang!
Two gunshots sounded in a row. “Keeek-!ぅ!”
The monster staggered and then fell to the ground with a brief, terrifying
scream. Only after making sure that the wriggling had stopped completely, Kaius tucked his guns together and wrapped around them.
The monster of chaos is never weak. Although each individual was different, they were all strong enough to have at least ten knights per each.
It’s a pity that Kaiers knows how to handle a high-destructive magic gun, but if he used a regular rifle, the only thing he could do was get a bullet into
the monster’s skin.
No matter how familiar the opponent, it was a battle that could be injured by a small mistake or a small carelessness.
However, even in a dangerous situation, if it was repeated countless times, annoyance was bound to rise rather than alertness.
“annoying….”
Kaius thought, rubbing his throbbing shoulders.
As the destructive power was stronger than that of a normal gun, the recoil was also enormous.
Magicians may not know what it would be like to pull the trigger with magical energy, but firing a magic gun consumed more than twice as much stamina as using a normal weapon to Kaius, who simply pulls the trigger with his strength and will.
Besides, it was after having already wasted a lot of stamina because of the monsters of chaos that appeared frequently day and night in recent years.
He hopped up a nearby tall tree to see if there were any leftovers. I looked around and saw Leverticia fighting a monster from afar.
He raised his gun for a moment, thinking about covering it, then put it down. The monster just had her head destroyed and collapsed.
“Wow!”
When the monster was defeated, people flocked to her with cheers. They seemed to be villagers.
“Thank you so much for saving me! You are a benefactor!” “You are so amazing!”
“Oh my gosh! I only saw it in the newspapers, but to see it in real life!” People stood around her, giving thanks and praise one by one.
As if she was unfamiliar with this kind of situation, she creaked like a broken wooden doll, unlike when she was dealing with a glamorous monster.
Even from a distance, Kaius burst into laughter alone at the blushing face and stiff movements that could be seen from afar.
When he fights, he looks like a master of one hundred battles, but when he sees him like this, he just looks like a normal person.
He looked at her and smirked, then saw Aaron approaching her and talking to her, and his expression hardened in an instant.
Aaron’s son approached Leverticia and spoke in a low voice. Leverticia didn’t respond at all, but it bothered me to talk to myself with a smile on my face.
‘… Shall I shoot you?’
Kaiers pulled out his gun again and held it back.
It was the moment I remembered that I had promised not to harm anyone with this.
He was a man who kept his promises to her even though he acted like a fool.
He looked at Leverticia talking to Aaron and then shook his head.
Kaiers, who was perched on a tree with a ferocious expression on his gun, and soon heard someone calling him from under the tree.
“What are you doing there?”
Rebertisha, who had come all the way here, tapped the wooden post like a knock.
Kaiers glanced down, and then returned to his work on the gun. No, I pretended to be preoccupied.
“what. Why are you mad?” “I’m not mad.”
Angry, what?
Leverticia smiled slightly and put her feet up the tree. She climbed up the tree lightly and perched on a branch near him.
“It’s just like when I was young. If something happens, you go up anywhere.”
“You are the same. It will follow you as you please. Are you going to drag me down again?”
“no. I don’t need that anymore. Because you are all grown up.” Kirik.
His hand, which was cleaning the gun, stopped.
Her words, as if she had just said it casually, somehow sounded like, ‘Now that you’re all grown up, you don’t need me anymore, don’t you?’
Even though I knew it wasn’t, it felt like my heart had been enlightened. “not really.”
Kaiers responded quickly. “What is it?”
“I am not yet grown up. I am three years younger than you.” “Five….”
Leverticia let out a shaky voice.
Usually they say it’s all grown up. Before she could utter another word, Kyus sprinted over to the branch she was sitting on.
“Then the branch broke!”
“It doesn’t break like this.”
He sat next to her and leaned over as if to hug her. Leverticia suddenly hugged him and let out a sigh. ‘A guy with a distracted body is stupid.’
It was heavy and annoying, but he stroked his head as he recalled his past karma. Holding him was like holding a huge cat in his arms.
- Are you a tiger now?
Anyway, stroking my soft hair, I felt like I was raising a pet. Kyus muttered as he patted his head as he hugged him.
“Try to stroke me a little better.” “….”
correct it
It felt like having a pet, not a pet.
Rebertisha put one hand in her pocket, holding back the feeling of wanting to throw it away.
I felt the touch of a sleeping blackbird on my fingertips. “Beep huh….”
“The black man is sleeping well.”
“Looks tired. I’ve been busy lately.”
“I know. How are you, Kai? Aren’t you tired?” “I’m fine-”
As he spoke, he moved his stiff neck to and fro, but he shut his mouth for a moment when he felt a stabbing pain in one shoulder.
“what’s the matter?”
Leverticia noticed it promptly and asked him. “… Nothing.”
“I don’t think it’s anything. Come here for a second.” “Because it’s okay.”
Kaiers tried to pull back, but it was too late. She reached out and pulled the shirt under his jacket over her shoulder.
“What are you-” “Stay still.”
Kaiers was visibly embarrassed, but Leverticia didn’t stop.
She didn’t even have the slightest black heart. So, I pulled down my shirt more proudly.
His reaction was just that when knights hid his wounds.
The button ripped open, revealing his shoulder. After checking the condition of her shoulder, Leverticia was at a loss for words.
His shoulders were full of serious red blood bruises. “Come on?”
“It doesn’t matter.”
Kaius muttered as he pulled up his clothes with a face as red as my hair. But Leverticia couldn’t just look at it.
“What’s wrong with you since then? Do you think I know less about injuries than you?”
She had suffered all kinds of wounds and injuries herself.
As you can see, he must have quite a few wounds not only on his shoulder but also on other places.
Leverticia warned in a low voice.
“Take it all off and say it right away before you check each one.” “Wait, wait. Letty-”
Leverticia was really ready to rip her shirt off to check for an injury, so Kaiers barely grabbed her hands.
‘Because he’s a really aggressive guy in a strange place.’ Kyus took a deep breath and explained to her.
“As you know, the frequency of their appearances has increased recently. So that’s all.”
“….”
At Kaius’ words, Leverticia was silent for a moment.
“Kai, you don’t have to push yourself that hard. You’ve done your part well enough. You don’t have any duties as a knight, and you have to do government affairs separately during the day.”
“Then you? you’ll keep doing it Do you want me to watch?” “Yeah, I….”
Leverticia opened her mouth for a moment, as if she was speechless. He seemed to be hesitating for something very deeply.
The pink eyes that kept thinking over and over again sank somewhere hazy. After a while, as if she had made up her mind, she slowly parted her lips.
“Kai, I-”
“Beep, profit, profit!”
At that moment, Blackie, who had been sleeping quietly, poked her face out of her pocket and cried.
Leverticia and Kaiers stopped all their words and actions, and looked at Blackbird.
The blackbird roared fiercely into the forest. “Beep! Beep!”
There was only one reason why the blackbird behaved like this. “… I think there must have been a monster in the forest.”
