Chapter 413: Origin (4)
Until I entered the academy, all I knew was my father’s former occupation, but I had no idea what exactly he had done.
Whenever I asked, he would dismissively say he was just an ordinary knight, and when I asked other family members, I received similar answers.
However, after enrolling in the academy and gradually uncovering his past, I came to realize that he was far from ordinary.
Not only did he survive in the borderlands, where people constantly perished, but he also managed to bring order to the region.
Despite the military’s assistance, he even took down a dragon.
That alone was terrifying enough, but learning that he was also involved in imperial power struggles left me with many thoughts.
“I suppose it was just bad luck. At the time, I had no connection to the imperial authority. The reason I chose him was precisely because he was a commoner with no ties to anyone.”
“Didn’t he voluntarily join the Navy Knights?”
“Something like that. But I never imagined that Sir Michelle would survive—let alone return after completely securing the borderlands. That single event threw everything into disarray.”
