Chapter 189: Reshuffle
"You’ve been looking pretty relaxed lately, Commander, I’m glad to see that. You were so constantly stressed out before that I was honestly getting worried that your hair would start to turn gray before long," Remarked Tilda with a wry smile.
"Hm? Oh, now that you mention it, I have been feeling a lot better these days. I haven’t had any headaches in a while," Mused Jules thoughtfully.
"It’s certainly a welcome change, that’s for sure. What, did you finally get a boyfriend of something?" Smirked Tilda teasingly.
"H-Huh? No, of course not!" Huffed Jules indignantly.
"I don’t know why you’re getting so defensive."
"I-I simply have no experience with romance, that’s all. I’ve probably been less stressed out lately because things have been nice and peaceful, we’ve had no notable incidents since the Monster Queens, and negotiations with Anima are progressing well. Not to mention, the Knight Order has grown exponentially stronger over these last six months, so that’s pretty encouraging," Replied Jules with a smile.
It was the 28th of April, 1920, a little over six months since the death of the Aeroraptor Queen. Things had settled down since then, and the nation had continued to progress and develop.
The Knight Squads had been shuffled shortly after the end of the whole Monster Queen fiasco. The Irregulars had agreed to be divided up between the squads, they determined that it wouldn’t really make a difference since they hardly saw each anyway, outside of those of them who were in the same location.
With the Commander Squad, Jules was still the Commander of course, Siele was still the Vice-Commander, and they had four First-Class Knights, Tilda, Akila, Kia and Hart.
As for the First Squad, the Captain and Vice-Captain were the same, Rione and Wein. And their First-Class Knights consisted of Quila Edge, Aria Beryl, Lloyd Howlite, and two former members of the Second Squad, Diar Malachite and Dox Sordes.
The Second Squad had undergone the most changes, with Raven assigned as the new Captain of the Squad. His Vice-Captain was Celia, and the squad’s First-Class Knights included Colt and Lexia, plus Laiza Terren and Ferd Beryl.
