Chapter 2

The Morning of Departure
Preparations for the departure were hectic, as the new semester would begin on the first day of the first month of spring.
When Sheila confided her intention to go to the royal capital to become a knight, her childhood friends all agreed. They said, “You’re not fit enough to be the wife of a villager.” The few precious female friends had a similar reaction.
She had already said goodbye to all her friends and finished most of her packing. She was told that she would be able to get new things over there, so she only needed to bring the bare necessities. She put only the things that were important, such as items filled with memories and a knife that she had grown accustomed to using, into her packing bag.
After sorting out most of her belongings, Sheila looked at Felix as she settled down on the carpeted floor.
“Brother, why did you defend me back then?”
Not surprised by the sudden question, Felix shrugged his shoulders casually.
“Is it really so strange to respect my sister’s wishes?”
“I know that what I said was something outrageous, too. Brother, when I do something reckless, you’re usually the one to stop me, aren’t you?”
Only men could be knights.
