chapter 20
20 – Knights! Officer! Friend!
There’s nothing good about staying at headquarters for long. Both to me and to my father.
So after a simple conversation, I returned to the academy.
The time it took, um… Maybe an hour or two? I could really do it in an instant.
“Leehi! Lihi!!”
“As expected, Reinhardt! To go all the way to headquarters already!”
“Right! You are a war hero!!”
But damn, it seems that moment has become an eternity for these guys.
“Calm down! How many times do you say nothing happened?!”
“You’re telling me to believe it when you can’t even tell me what happened!”
“Oooooh! That’s right! That’s right—oh!”
“So when do you become an officer! Are you getting an order from the command right away?!”
Damn it. To clear up this misunderstanding, why did I go to the headquarters and why did my father call me? I have to tell you why, but if I did, it’s obvious that there will be more teasing than now.
‘Harried talk? Marriage?! Yay! My baby, Richie, is getting married!!’.
It’s a video even if you don’t watch it. I don’t know why those children, the nobles, are like that.
Boys all become mentally ill when they start drinking military water. Is that why?
And what about Command? I’m going to shoot right on the front line, these guys.
Go and shoot matchless with Erwin, the future war hero!
In the meantime, y’all f*ck around on the other front! Hee hee hee!!
“Everybody disband! I told you to disband! Hurry back to your place!”
Fortunately, doing this sh*t only applies to motives.
If even the seniors were like that… Uh be terrible I’m so glad-
“Leehi. Maybe you mean At Command….”
“Ah! Even seniors don’t do that!”
Thankfully it was canceled. It’s not at all what you’re imagining!
If you don’t know, stay still! Somebody’s going to explode and die!
There was a marriage discussion going on that I didn’t know about! Know?! Do you know this absurdity!
Even the target is Ariete! That Klotchen, that noble lady of the Dukedom of Kainel!
The youngest daughter who is so cherished by the legend of knights among knights!
No matter how much he pushes forward, he still hates the daughter thief position!
‘Right. Come to think of it, I forgot that I was going to see Ariete as soon as I got back.’
Her
I’m going to go and meet her and share her story. What is this?
Why do you and your father know that the relationship between you and me is like that?
I swear to heaven that I really didn’t say anything or do anything.
So it seems that Ariete took some action and this happened.
I need to know exactly what kind of situation it was so that I can prepare for the future.
“Leehi!”
Did they say that even a tiger would come if I told them? It’s Ariete. She is coming
The lady of our duchy? What on earth did you say and how did Jeon Seung-gong react like that?
Hondam? Ho On Dam?? My brother hasn’t gotten married yet, so what kind of marriage am I?
As a Jewish-religious Taliban, of course, the elders have to go through major life events first!
And at least you should have said something to me. That I didn’t know anything
It’s not a big deal, but I’m in a situation where I have to show some anger.
I’ve caused trouble for people, so I have to… To do… uh….
“I heard the news. You said you went to the headquarters? What happened? Huh?”
Damn it. How can you be angry if you smile so brightly and beautifully?
Spitting in the faces of your smiling friends seems to have been easier than eating porridge.
Is it because I can’t help but be a boy? I can’t do that to a woman.
“… Jeon Seung-gong made a marriage proposal.”
So, without realizing it, I ended up telling the story of what had happened at headquarters.
“Harried talk? Father? To you?”
“Yes. With me, with you Thanks to that, my father was surprised to know what had happened and called me. Also, thanks to you, I was surprised and had to tell you everything that happened between us.”
“Ummm….”
Look at that. There is something. Definitely have That expression, that worry. It’s what anyone can see.
“Ariete. Be honest. What did you say to Jeon Seung-gong? Why are my father and he suddenly so serious about our relationship?”
“I didn’t say anything. I just told you that I’m interested in you.”
“Is that all?”
“Uh, um… You will definitely regret it if you miss it. If someone snatches it, I’ll be angry. Did you say that too?”
Damn it. After all, it’s because of the story! Anyone who hears it is sure to misunderstand!
I think I know why Jeon Seung-gong suggested marriage talks.
Who the hell is the one who possessed the youngest?! Uh? Let’s see your face!
Oh. Reinhardt’s son? Are you my best friend’s child?
My daughter has eyes to see people! Yes, this guy deserves it!
It’s clear. In this way, shook shook in an instant! And things went on.
My father must have reacted to it seriously, saying, ‘Really?’
Thanks to that, I had no choice but to become the main character of the ‘marriage story only I don’t know’.
“Ariete. If you say that, anyone will misunderstand….”
“You really intend to end it with a misunderstanding?”
Ariete sneaks up to her and asks a question.
“What do you mean?”
“It’s literally. Are you really going to end it with a misunderstanding?”
As I said Ariete suddenly started staring at me.
Looking at her, I have a feeling that her answer should be good.
What I have to say right now, the answer I have to give Ariete-
“… I’ll correct it. For now, let’s say.”
It’s not like I don’t like Ariete either.
Yes. I’ll admit it. I also wanted to flirt with a noble lady.
It’s terrible being a love letter delivery man for years.
I don’t want to hear a woman call me crazy, but I don’t want to be more miserable than this!
“Is that so? There is still plenty of time.”
Smiling, Ariete came to her side and stood side by side….
Um. Why does it seem like her tiger suddenly comes up to her side and smacks her lips?
It’s as if I’ve done something I shouldn’t have done. It feels like it was stamped wrong.
Suddenly, this question raises its head. Just answered, is it really a good thing… ?

Imperial Field Marshal, Allied Commander-in-Chief William Reinhardt.
The news that he had a conversation with Jeon Seung-gong immediately spread all over the place.
There was no particular reason. The main thing is the marriage conversation that started from a minor misunderstanding.
Other than that, it was all about asking each other how they were doing and reminiscing about old memories.
But to the people below him, it seems to have looked completely different.
“The Commander-in-Chief and His Excellency Seung Gong had a meeting!”
“The giants between the officer group and the knight group had a meeting!”
“It is clear that this will bring an end to the feud between the two groups and lead to reconciliation!”
Neither the Commander-in-Chief nor the Jeon Seung-gong had any intention of doing that, literally in vain.
But things escalated quickly before the two even noticed.
“We must carry out the decision you two made right now!”
“Officers! Knights! It’s good to fight each other’s pride, but do it in moderation! If this happens, we and you may both have their heads blown off by the two giants!”
“Unity! The head of the military and the focal point of the knights had a candid conversation! Of course, we below him must also fulfill that will! What a better way!”
Knights and officers who were busy growling at each other not too long ago.
But for now, I had to put that mind behind me for a while.
If the giants of the empire decided to do that, it’s right to do it unconditionally.
“In a sports event to improve the physical strength of soldiers, officers and knights do not fight, but mix and form a team, and in that way, they divide their sides and compete!”
“That would be great! Originally, when there is a public enemy, it is true that harmony is better than anyone else!”
A few days later, the commander-in-chief and Jeon Seung-gong belatedly assessed the situation.
I was completely embarrassed, but I couldn’t tell the truth.
If I told you that I met because of my children’s wedding, the social world would be excited in an instant.
And what… To be honest, it wasn’t even a bad result.
They know better than the superiors that these guys are bickering.
It doesn’t matter what the beginning is as long as it can have a positive impact.
In the meantime, a sudden wave of harmony hit the academy.
“Imperial Field Marshal, Commander-in-Chief of Allied Forces! A knight among knights of the Empire, a successor who has set an example for himself! Knights and officers have no choice but to become comrades in the end, so get along well!”
“In that sense, the Knights Faculty and the Officers Faculty will combine for a great joint training, so know that!”
At first, I thought it was a joke from both the Knights Division and Officers Division of the Academy.
Of course, I had to stop thinking about it when I saw it suddenly posted on the notice board the day after.
[ Announcement – Combined Training of Officers Faculty and Knight Faculty ]
“….”
“….”
I really do this. You could really be on the same team as them?
Allied training. This was a development I could never have imagined.
It’s amazing enough that you’ve already made it this far.
But after a while, something happened that made the joint training of the two faculties ‘so-so’.
“His Highness, who heard the news about the joint training between the Academy’s Knight Department and Officers Department, is coming to see the progress of the training!”
“I heard that the expectations are great! The news that the joint training of the two faculties, which are famous for not getting along, was very welcome and even responded that they were looking forward to it!”
Even if things got bigger, they got too big. In a way that neither the commander-in-chief nor the successor could have expected at all.
The crown prince. For him to come to inspect the academy’s training in the first place.
But since this isn’t a bad thing again, even blocking it has become ambiguous.
‘… How the hell did this happen?’
For Lihi, who was almost the only one who knew why the situation had come this far, there was nothing he could do other than let out a stunned sigh.
