Chapter 139: 15-year-old Inglis and Hyrule Menaces’ Escorting Directive (47)
「O-, oi——」 「Y-, yeah. I’ve seen that attack before……!」
The students buzzed. Leon was a former Holy Knight. A hero to this kingdom. Many students were familiar with him.
「……Big brother! What are you doing here!?」
When Leone said that, everyone in the room grasped the situation. It was a known fact that Leone was the sister of Leon, the traitor who abandoned his position as a Holy Knight and ran to the Ironblood Chain Brigade.
「The Ironblood Chain Brigade came to interfere!?」 「N-, now……!?」 「Do we have to fight a former Holy Knight……!?」
The students fell into agitation.
「Hey hey, hold your horses. You saw what I did, didn’t you? I’m here to help, though I get it that it’s a tall order to ask you to believe me. Hey, Miliera, say something to your students.」 「……Their reaction only speaks of how atrocious your betrayal is. I am not to advocate you.」
Principal Miliera’s expression remained sour.
「Well, ain’t that the truth. Ha ha ha.」 「It’s nothing to laugh about. Do you even know how much Miss Leone suffered after she’s left behind all alone? While I know that you have your own thoughts, I can’t endorse your decision. Miss Leone is my student, and anyone who harms my students, even if they are blood relatives, I won’t forgive them.」 「……And I’m thankful for that. Please continue to take care of Leone from now on.」
