289 – A Certain Noble’s Tyranny 2 (side Tolman)
I sit on a tree stump in the middle of camp. A thick cloth has been laid on it, but it is still far inferior in comfort to the chairs of my manor. When compared to my manor’s food, much of the food here is also inedible.
How long must I endure living like this? I hide a yawn behind my hand.
Ooh, I want to experience the thrill of battle as soon as possible. I want to let the world know of my outstanding military prowess. When I slay the low-born barbarians and return with the mythical beast in hand, I shall be the target of everyone’s adoration. When that happens, I shall become king of Ardesia both in name and reality.
My arms and legs rock back and forth in impatience. This is no good. Despite being the greatest noble of the kingdom and its next king, it is almost as though I’m acting like a child.
Suddenly I notice a change in my private army. Everyone is gathering to talk in low voices as though to discuss a rumour. Expressions of scorn are mixed into the expressions of the speakers.

“Tolman-kakka, it seems Derek of the sixty-eighth unit has returned. ”
