Chapter 420: Comedy Duo 2
The group suddenly displaying classic rom-com behavior was the Ice Cross Knights from the northern Empire. They were Margrave Sibedev's 2nd Knight Order, who had been facing monster waves but came down to the Kingdom for more experience after clearing their territory.
From what I heard, Margrave Sibedev's lands bordered monster wave territories, with Viscount Friedrich's support from behind.
Olek Sibedev, the Margrave's second son, was the knight captain, while Alisa Friedrich, Viscount Friedrich's eldest daughter, was the vice-captain. The rest of the knights were young nobles from smaller neighboring domains, sent to prove their loyalty to the Sibedev family.
Naturally, they weren't the core fighting force, but a sub-knight order made up of noble sons without inheritance rights who showed talent with the sword. This was the Ice Cross Knights.
"A knight order made up of noble families' second sons?" I asked.
"Yes, hero. It's embarrassing to say, but in the past, some dishonorable people ignored a Margrave's request for aid out of selfishness, causing problems at the Empire's borders," Alisa explained.
'...Isn't that my story?'
After receiving supplies and fighting several battles on the 55th floor, we returned to the safe zone via minimap to pitch our tents. Alisa Friedrich stuck close to Han Se-ah, chattering away.
By the way, that story about problems at the Empire's border - isn't that about me?
