Chapter 27: My Will
“I didn’t know you failed at becoming an Imperial Knight… I couldn’t see you, but I never expected that possibility…. I’m sorry.”
“Not actually…”
I heard the origin of my father for the first time. It is a common dream of a child in this world.
He wasn’t a heroic child, a chosen one, with the genes or destiny to defeat the Great Demon King from the moment he was born.
It started with a childish dream, and from there to the end of the story which was beyond me, is my father as he is now.
“But… ah, listening to you like this… Even if you don’t become an Imperial Knight… If you have something else you want to do, I think it’s fine. I wanted to do it, it was my will.”
“Father…”
“But I’ll still… your mother too… we’ll support you.”
Even if I don’t become an Imperial Knight, I’m a child of my father and mother. I guess that’s what it is.
