Koushaku Reijou no Tashinami - Ch 167

Solicitation

"Why is it that we are called because the knight leader changes?"

So that's why your mode is obviously heavy.

Always Lyle, stole my words like that, silently silenced me in my face.

My mode is as heavy as I am.

It would also be so.

Now that the Duke has been attacked, it is our common feeling that we do not want to leave Iris side as much as possible.

That's why I refused. That's all there is.

Even so, the new knight leader did not give up at all.

Finally, he came to demand that they bring us two people to our senior.

Currently Marquis Anderson did not took into consideration our feelings, so when we heard it from the knights who brought the letter to us, we were unusually furious all together.

"I can not bother our master, it is irrational and annoying," we came to the royal palace to quickly finish this matter ... That is the reason why we're here now.

"Almerian Duke's escort Lyle, present here."

"Almerian Duke's escort Dida, present here."

We take a minimum bow and enter the room addressed for the Order.

Although there are some few people who frowned at our attitude, most of the knights have sympathetic eyes for us.

That just means that the call to us was insistent enough to be noticed by everyone.

"Oh, Lyle, Dida! Welcome!"

The new knight leader welcome us in a good mood.

"Please sit over there"

I sat on the seat pointed to by the headmen without a word.

"My name is Seltre Merese, the newly appointed head of the Order, I heard rumors about you two.

To the guy called Seltre smiling smile, we probably remained expressionless.

"... So, what is the matter?"

Lyle interrogates in a low voice with a bad mood.

...... To be honest, I am a little scared of how bad Lyle's mood now is.

I was surprised a bit about my friend besides me .... it's so unusual for him to expose his emotions so far.

"Don't be hastily asking.... Let's talk a little more slowly about it"

In spite of being puzzled, the atmosphere became more and more sweetened by his smile him that did get destroyed even after what happened.

That probably is...

Calling us up forcefully and now take our time to slowly speak...?

If we have such a leisure, we would be guarding our lady.

Due to the fact that we are having a war atmosphere, at this point, the knights who know us well are receding with fear.

"You should have told us that you have all the time to spare, to come here again and again if needed, but instead you forced us to come over without considering the circumstances and insisting repeatedly despite it ... ... And at the end you now say us, " Let's talk slowly" ? Due to such a thing, you dared to bother and bring trouble to General Gazelle? "

The anger of Lyle was at max climax. It has already reach such a terrible degree that it is likely to shoot people only by with his eyes.

With this happening, Seltre felt pressured.

"... ... So, what is the matter?"

In this situation if he says one wrong word, the situation will turn really bad and most likely his mouth will send some teeth flying.

"Ah ... no, I have heard a story frequently from the the previous knight's leader, that he wanted you guys to work as members of the Order by all means ..."

"... we refused it, you should have been told before not?"

I felt that the temperature in the room fell once again, even though he had been emitting so much cold air before that.

I am afraid... I can not turn my face towards Lyle or I'll be turned ice by his sight.

"Oh, we guarantee your future treatment and position..."

"There is no relation to treatment, positions or benefits, our Lord is only one, no matter what we are told, that idea will not change."

There is no objection, though, in that word that he declared... he is a great and sincere guy.

"Similarly"

I agreed to his sentence.

Seltre was stunned, he was despicably refused.

"It will be a waste of time for each other, so please excuse us, and we have formally protested to the Lord and the General about this case. Our positions have not changed and will not change from being the Duke of Almeria's Guards. We have also received consent to be official escorts at the Duke's house. We will not let such solicitations from the Order take place again after today. "

At the words of Lyle when leaving, Seltre had dropped his shoulders. Almost, he sighed behind me and Lyle.

Perhaps, Lyle would have noticed.

Unlike when going, the pace of returning is fast.

While silent with each other, the atmosphere became a lot softer than before.

"Ah ...... Lyle and Dida stop!"

However, our mood again suddenly falls down when that voice stopped us.

While pushing the feelings down, I took the first step this time.

"Please raise your face"

She was there, Baroness Yuri, the fiance of the second Prince, Edward.

"No good.. such impolite manners to me who is the fiance of the second prince ... ...."

Why is this woman in such a place! I shouted in my heart.

Perhaps Lyle will erupt if he gets the turn to talk this time.

"Why are you two here? Ah! No way, are you both knights?"

Yuri's voice was bouncing.

I felt a sense of frustration and anger with her voice.

"No ... we are afraid we're not and will never be"

Lyle's voice is as low as it was when he was talking with the knight's leader.

"That's not the case! The two of you are so strong, I heard from many people. You must be knights. You'll be welcome there with open arms."

But she came back to us with a good mood even if we cut her off coldly.

To be honest, further irritation was what she sought for with her voice tone and good mood.

"The security in the country is getting worse now, so I'd like to borrow the power of the both of you. If you two can protect me, I can do my best for this country!"

Yuri the Baron's Daughter continued the words for a long time.

Close that mouth quickly! I thought, but I can not shout such a thing in the royal castle.

"... I am sorry, our lord is the only one we will serve"

Lyle says so, and lowers his head.

It is so! Be convinced and leave us alone! I thought, Lyle was looking at her like refusing to have more conversations.

"Because we are of those people who wish to protect their precious ones, not thinking about ourselves, and the one we want to protect is already with us, so we would like to support her forever ...so that she can do her best."

Like taking over the words of Lyle, I said that.

"Well then, we will excuse ourselves."

Then we bowed, and got quickly as far away as possible from her.

As soon as we leave the grounds of the royal palace, we head straight to the Marquis Anderson's house.

Although it is not shown on our faces, we would like to make an apology for this case to our master that was bothered by the knight's leader.

Together with that, I will further strengthen my body.

I want to have strength to protect the princess.

The Marquis Anderson's house is close to the castle.

Even if we walked, it did not take so long.

If you pass through the gate, you go straight to the stadium.

When not in the royal palace, master is usually there.

... Mmm... where could master be?...

I could not see master in the stadium.

"... .... Oh, Lyle ... Did you, you came to the Marquis Anderson's house today?"

Instead, the woman who was in the center of the stadium was ... the  Almerian Duchess.

Looking at our master's wife figure, the spine freezes. She is fiercest than our master and the general together.

...... Have you come because you are in trouble?

However, I do not regret it.

Because if we wouldn't have found her, we couldn't have anyone to gives us instruction and get training. 

So went to go towards the center of the stadium.
