In the first place, the Black Knights had slightly different characteristics from other knights.
Unlike other knights who were loyal to their country and people, the Black Knights were people who gathered together with only loyalty to Cleo.
Although the Black Knights had many accidents, their role on the front lines was very important.
So there were many times when the Commander-in-Chief had to cry and pretend not to have seen Cleo’s actions.
That’s why Cleo was a guy who didn’t know where he would end up.
“leader. He has one thing in mind, one chance. Isn’t it really possible that the princess could get seriously hurt or something could happen?”
Just one thing.
It was a word that stimulated Raymond.
Yes, just in case. With that possibility, dozens of battles were won on the battlefield.
Thanks to not ignoring the one in 10,000 possibility, I was able to protect my comrades, protect my people, and protect this land.
Raymond finally sighed and said.
“Okay, okay, you leave for the mission area. I will go to Princess Agnes myself.”
When the leader said he would go and see it in person, Sirius looked relieved.
“Now then, say something nice to that bastard Cleo Gray! You barely know that the Black Knights are on the same level as the White Knights, that bastard!”
The princess’s affiliation was even transferred, and there were rumors that the emperor had once again given power to the Black Knights.
Most of the members of the Black Knights were in prison.
However, it was an indelible fact that they made great contributions in the war, and the emperor was a person who enjoyed making his subjects compete.
Therefore, there was also the view that the most underrated Black Knights were given power in order to balance the White Knights, which were the knights directly under the crown prince, and the other three knights.
Aside from his pride in the White Knights and his interest in women, it was difficult to understand for Sirius.
“Anyway, I have to leave right now, so the leader had better leave quickly too.”
Unlike his relaxed tone of voice, Sirius gave a polite salute before leaving the leader’s office.
Raymond, who was left alone, sighed deeply and stood up.
A deep sense of lethargy and weariness cast a shadow over his sculptural face.
‘How long will I have to take care of the princess?’
To be honest, when Emperor Alexander changed the princess’s affiliation, it was Raymond who was most relieved.
I thought I wouldn’t have to deal with that annoying princess’s complaints anymore, but she dragged him in like this from the first day she was appointed…..
I thought that maybe it wasn’t Cleo Gray’s masterpiece, but Princess Agnes’ masterpiece.
Agnes was always like that. Raymond’s loyalty to the imperial family was used to satisfy her own selfish desires.
Therefore, it was difficult to conclude that there was no possibility that this incident was Princess Agnes’s handiwork.
Raymond took the cloak and military cap that had been hanging on his coat hanger and left the room with a colder expression than ever.
‘Boring.’
Raymond really felt like he could do anything as long as he could escape Princess Agnes’ one-sided attention and her selfish courtship.

“I guess it’s over there.”
Meanwhile, Agnes checked her navigation as he was almost to her destination.
The round, palm-sized machine was displaying a village 100 meters ahead as its destination.
The entrance to the village where residents had evacuated was tightly controlled.
Even from a distance, you could see how horrendous the scene was. The remains of collapsed buildings piled up like a mountain.
Agnes rode slowly until she approached the entrance to the village guarded by her soldiers.
Next to the soldiers were magic golems with imperial symbols drawn on them, restricting the intrusion of outsiders.
“Uh, how did you get here?”
A soldier who appeared to be in charge of security asked Agnes in confusion.
In fact, the guard felt puzzled from the moment he spotted the Black Knights uniform from afar.
The area he was guarding, A-15, was apparently searched by members of the Black Knights yesterday.
‘Why are you coming back?’
However, the moment he recognized who the knight approaching him was, the guard’s complexion turned pale.
Princess Agnes was the famous Emperor Alexander’s most precious jewel, Winchester’s time bomb, and was said to have everything except personality.
There was no way I wouldn’t recognize him thanks to that unusual hair color.
“I came to search the A-15 area after receiving orders from the commander. Open the door.”
A sonorous voice rang out.
Princess Agnes took out the seal of the Order from her bosom and showed it to the guard.
The security guard was suspicious of another search in an area that had clearly been reviewed yesterday, but he didn’t want to engage in confrontation with the princess who fired a gatling gun with her mouth.
He even heard that the princess was in a very bad mood after being transferred to the Black Knights.
He is weak-hearted and would collapse if a simple criticism came from the mouth of the princess, who was overcome by her evil.
‘I don’t know…There may be areas that weren’t searched yesterday.’
There was no way the Knights would send someone back unnecessarily. That too, the princess.
The guard shut his mouth tightly and opened the controlled iron door.
A white horse, symbolizing ownership of the royal family, leisurely entered the restricted area.
‘It was completely devastated.’
Agnes became paralyzed when she saw the cruel traces of war with her own eyes.
Seeing the traces of war made her realize that she had been reincarnated into this world more than when he used unusual magic tools and magic.
‘Still, I’m glad that the residents were evacuated in advance, so casualties were minimal.’
It could be said that the person who played the greatest role in the great war against the devils was by far the commander-in-chief, Duke Howard.
As an old man, he became the spiritual leader of the knights and soldiers with the calmness that came from his years of experience.
And the next person mentioned was Raymond Spencer, the leader of the White Knights.
It was incredible that he, still young, was mentioned next to the Duke of Howard.
Raymond perfectly understood the devils’ movements and plans with his outstanding resourcefulness.
A young, handsome hero who actually led the war to victory.
There was a reason why the people of the empire were enthusiastic about him.
In short, he had star quality.
Additionally, Raymond Spencer suffered from the past loss of his mother to the devil.
The people of the empire, whether commoners or nobles, were enthusiastic about his sad narrative.
The young ladies dreamed of becoming lovers of the empire’s hero, and the male nobles were jealous and envious of him.
Also, the knights hoped to become proud knights like him.
However, Raymond’s perfect reputation suffocated Cleo Gray, who had an inferiority complex towards him in the first place.
‘Actually, the one who suffered more in the war was Cleo.’
Unlike Raymond, who showed off his outstanding resourcefulness, Cleo was the type to run with his own body.
With his animalistic intuition, he sometimes led close and dangerous battles to victory.
That boldness had the power to enthuse his subordinates.
However, no matter how outstanding his achievements were, Cleo was discriminated against due to his humble status as a bastard.
Agnes saw the traces of the terrible war with her own eyes and thought of Cleo, who must have suffered in a place like this.
Collapsed buildings, horrendous blood stains, and a rotten stench.
Everything about this scene solidified the fanaticism towards Cleo.
‘Somehow, i have to pave a flowery path in Cleo’s path.’
With that overwhelming heart, Agnes began to carefully search every corner of the village.
‘Monsters won’t appear anyway….’
Agnes was sure. Cleo had already searched and sent her to a safe place.
Cleo may just want to scare her.
Hehe…Cute child…
It was a time when I was walking around the alley that used to be a busy market, feeling so relieved.
Rustling-
“…..!!”
I felt a small movement among the trash piles.
Could it be a monster?
Agnes’s hair became pale.
‘Cleo…..How did this happen?’
