Chapter 124.1
Battle Conclusion
“…I’m going to join them.”
Rockwell muttered, gripping his sword, and everyone, including Crown Prince Ervan, gulped and looked at him in astonishment.
The rebellion of the Second Order, even if only a part of it, and the attack of the assassins’ guild commissioned by the aristocratic faction. Even in such a critical situation, an adventurer girl requested by Princess Elena appeared to the rescue and distracted the attackers’ gaze from the Crown Princes.
As a member of a family that had produced many commanders of knighthoods, he must have something on his mind. However, even though Rockwell’s swordsmanship was excellent, it was only from a student’s point of view, and if he made a poor move, he might draw attention to him. Even so, as a knight and a man, Rockwell couldn’t “accept” the idea of continuing to hide behind the back of a young, attractive maiden.
“Then I will go with you. I may not be able to match you with a sword, but I can be of some use with magic.”
“Mikhail…”
Standing next to his friend who was about to go into battle, Mikhail turned to Rockwell with a smile, albeit a brave one.
Mikhail and Rockwell’s thoughts point in the same direction, but slightly different.
Rockwell looked at the girl with peach blonde hair and saw in her the strength that he had longed for as a knight sealed in his heart as a senior nobleman, and he wanted to stand next to her and fight with her like a boy yearning to be a brave warrior.
But it was not only because he was proud to be a man, but also because his longing was changing into a different kind of “feeling”.
Mikhail was intrigued by a young adventurer girl he met a few years ago, who was different from the young ladies who flocked around him.
