"I obviously knew it very well, but I never said it."

"It's impossible to know." Braham replied, and then continued: "But...from that point on, things became strange. And I also know that he is not a person who only thinks about the country. A fool who despises His Majesty because of politics."

Renault said, "That's it," and then laughed. Walter and Braham also laughed. Only the emperor stared directly at the three of them.

The emperor thought to himself: Strange, this young man named Renault. He instantly removed the tension that had gripped Walter as he prepared to face death.

What's more, he could not detect the slightest hint of disgust at the arrogant attitude he displayed toward the emperor.

The emperor laughed unconsciously.

Renault noticed this and addressed the emperor: "Hey, do you really want to kill these interesting guys?"

Walter and Braham looked at the Emperor in surprise. When Braham wanted to speak, the emperor gently raised his right hand to stop him: "Crime must be punished. This will not change."

The emperor slowly glanced at the two men: "You are not allowed to choose your own death. From now on, until your natural death, please be loyal to 'me' wholeheartedly. This is the punishment."

The two exchanged glances and knelt in front of the emperor at the same time: "Yes! As long as we live, we will serve him forever!"

Renault stood behind them, overlooking them and said: "You are really good friends."

The morning sun has begun to rise. The refreshing sunlight shines from the horizon and envelopes the entire city. With the arrival of the sun, some people wake up from their dreams, and some people start to fall asleep at this moment.

There is no night in this city.

Reynold walked back to the residential area towards such a dazzling rising sun. He came to Ozwald's house and quietly slipped into the house through the second-floor window where he had left.

Too careless. Although the sun had risen, it was still very early and the house was silent. Renault breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the bed where Yuyi and Luka should be sleeping, but he was stunned.

There was no one around, and he was alert to his surroundings. That strong perception spread to every corner of the city, and at the same time, Renault frowned.

"Is there no one?" He had an ominous premonition. Just when he was about to rush out to search, his eyes moved to a piece of paper on the table beside the bed and Yuyi's necklace. The paper read "For the boss" in poor handwriting.

"It's Luca's word."

A moment of silence.

Suddenly, the key turned and the door opened.

"Oops? Renault, are you up?"

Looking up, Ozwald's face was revealed.

"I was just about to wake you up." He smiled, but seeing Renault's serious eyes, he couldn't help but be a little confused. He glanced furtively around the room.

"Eh? What happened to Yuyi and Luka?"

This problem is real, so Renault smiled: "It's great to have this ability. Doubting good people always makes people feel bad." Renault folded the paper and put it in his arms.

"I have something to do. I left the city before dawn."

Hearing this, Ozwald showed a sad expression: "Really? It must be a very urgent matter. At least I want to say goodbye to you. I also want to thank you for coming to play with Alyssa yesterday. of."

Renault smiled softly: "I will come again. Tell them then."

"Well, okay. Then, next time you come here, would you like to stay at our house?"

"Well. Thank you very much for the invitation."

Ozwald nodded and smiled: "Okay, I'll tell Polina about this. Will you have breakfast?"

Renault nodded. Ozwald left the room after confirming.

After a moment of silence, Renault took out the paper from his arms and read it carefully again. It only says, "Entrust sister Yuyi to me and pick her up in the city of Atla."

He folded the paper and sighed.

"'Atla'. It seems to be a city in the north of the empire..." As he spoke, he stared at the crescent moon on the necklace that was thrown away by its owner.

The wind was blowing loudly, and the cold air made people feel like snow was about to fall. Before the sun rose in the morning, the knights gathered on the playground. Alke gritted his teeth, barely holding back the yawn that was about to come out, and stared at the knights lined up in front of him.

"Major Alker, is it earlier than usual today?"

Alke only stared at the tired knight at the head of the row.

"Late, if you talk again, the amount of training will be doubled."

The knight known as Rath let out a small whine and said, "Ah."

"You spoke. Twice."

Alke's words made Rat look like the end was coming. Then, laughter spread from among the knights. Alke also smiled secretly, but frowned.

"I called you here to find the colonel, but it's too late."

Rat said happily: "I've had a hard time waiting for you."

"Are you late!?"

"Late, three times."

"What!? I didn't hear it!!"

Laughter rang out in the playground again. At this time, there was a deliberately exaggerated cough. Everyone fell silent instantly and stood up straight. Ozwald walked out of the darkness ahead.

But Alke had a question about a man behind him. Long bright red hair and eyes like a dead fish. What's more, he was clearly swaying drunkenly.

"Ah, I'm sorry for being late. Everyone, and Rat." Ozwald glanced at Rat and said.

Rat immediately lowered his head and said loudly: "It doesn't matter!!"

Instantly, Ozwald said: "You spoke. Be happy, five times over."

"Hey, Colonel!! Did I hear that!? I heard them all!!"

Everyone laughed, and Rat lowered his head and said, "And it's five times more."

After everyone laughed for a while, Alke gently raised his right hand, and everyone immediately closed their mouths: "By the way, Colonel, why did you call us here?"

Ozwald nodded.

"Everyone is asked to come here before dawn because there are changes to today's training. The expedition has been cleared and will be conducting training camp for a month. Get ready."

After saying that, everyone answered in unison: "Yes!"

Ozwald continued: "Starting today, I want to introduce to you a man who became my subordinate. The title is major, but he does not belong to this unit."

Ozwald turned around, grabbed the collar of the swaying man, and pushed him forward. He just stood, but swayed.

He didn't say a word, so Ozwald kicked him in the back.

"...First meeting, Fay~" As he said that, the man fell forward.

silence. The knights glared down at the man. Looking up, they saw the devilish Ozwald.

"You guy!!"

For the next few minutes, the knights stared at the man who had been struck until Alke stopped him.
