The surrounding knights forgot to organize their formation, and everyone rushed out with their swords. The knights rushed towards Renaud, trying to attack him first.

Raynor deftly dodged the attack, grabbed his sword, and threw, kicked, and punched his foes. However, the Knights continued to challenge Leno as long as his body could move.

At first, they just waved their swords willfully and with anger. However, the anger gradually disappeared and it was an amazing feeling.

The gray boy, the boy who knocked away enemies one by one without receiving any attacks, overlapped with the red shadow. The same scene reflected in everyone's eyes.

It was a familiar feeling.

Everyone feels this way.

Alke was no exception. In Fay's shadow overlapping with Renault, something surged in his chest, remembering the scene from long ago.

At first, they just thought that Renault was a man with no fighting spirit and only talent.

However, after experiencing many life and death tests together, their relationship became unbreakable.

The man who would never abandon any of his partners no matter what, although he liked to joke, he always stood by everyone at critical moments.

Every one of them had openly laughed at the man, but everyone knew it, everyone here knew it.

The man who has been working hard silently.

Because of this, deep down, everyone deeply admires him.

Before they knew it, most of the knights were unable to move.

One who kneels, trembling, trying to stand up using his sword as a crutch.

A man lying on the ground, not unconscious but unable to move a finger.

In the midst of this, Alke desperately clung to Renault, and the knights left one after another. Just like that, before he knew it, Alke was left standing alone.

Alke had also reached his limit. The sword he swung had almost no power, and Renault didn't even shed a drop of sweat.

Renault, who was about to let go of the sword, held it tightly with both hands, and Alke gave the last blow with all his strength. There was a crisp click, and Renault blocked Alke's sword with his right arm for the first time.

While gasping, Alke's sword trembled.

"...Why?" Alke muttered, and Renault's smile disappeared.

"Why did you abandon us!!"

The sound echoed on the field, and the surrounding knights stared at Renault with their own thoughts.

That gray figure turned into Fey's appearance in everyone's eyes.

"I won't delve into what you went through! But!! It doesn't matter even if you tell me...ah!" Alke shouted loudly to Fay in front of him.

"That's right..." A knight knelt down from behind and said tremblingly.

"Because of you, how much we have suffered...you don't know!" Starting from the knight's words, the surrounding voices started to ring out.

The knights who fell on the ground also shouted towards Fey's gray figure.

"If you don't leave!"

"Abandoned the country!"

"Why didn't you say anything!"

"traitor!"

Insulting sounds echoed, both like curses and with a sense of grief. Reno maintained Fay's image, looked around slowly, and then sighed.

Then he flicked Alke's sword away and struck him in the face with his left fist. Alke rolled to the ground, still staring at Faye.

"Don't blame others."

Faye's image cracked, shattered.

"Did I abandon the country? Did you also abandon me? Betray me? So what. You losers, what are you yelling awkwardly?" Fey looked down at them coldly.

Everyone gritted their teeth and stared at Fay.

"You just want to hear a word from him. Are you all his women? It's so boring." Fey said in disgust, and everyone felt angry.

"Don't be ridiculous!" shouted a knight kneeling near Fay.

"We believe, we believe that man—"

"Then we must persist until the end!! Aren't you friends!!!" Fey roared to stop their shouting, as if time had stopped and silence fell.

"I don't know what happened between him and you, and I'm not interested. But at least he's not the kind of person who would betray or abandon his partners." Fey slowly turned her eyes to the surrounding knights.

"No matter what the facts are, what you see of him is real! You look at him firmly, the partner you believe in!" Faye finished speaking loudly and exhaled.

"Well, since you don't think we are partners, there is no point in saying these words." He said casually.

Alke clenched his fists. He reluctantly stood up and stared at Fay with his trembling body: "You, what do you know!!"

Fay turned her eyes to Alke and smiled: "I understand." That smile was very gentle.

"I am his 'partner'." Not only to Alke, but also to the other knights, he said firmly.

partner.

Reno's words reached the hearts of the sergeants.

However, why?

Why didn't you say anything?

With just one word, Fay can be believed.

Doubt cannot be eliminated.

Sensing the situation of the knights, Renault said, "You still don't understand?" But his eyes were still different from the initial mockery, but gentle.

"It's not because I didn't say anything. It's because I don't feel the need for words. Because I believe you."

The knights frowned. Only Alke was still staring at Renault: "So as a 'partner', do you understand? What Faye didn't say to us in the end."

Renault said flatly: "I understand."

Then he continued: "'I will take care of things here. Ozwald's matter will be left to you.'" In the moment of speaking, only for a moment, Reynold's image transformed into Faye's.

But it was really just a moment, and when he realized it, he had turned back into Renault: "Because he believed that you would be here waiting for me, he could leave without looking back. Because he believed that you would be here, he could get rid of Ozwaal." Germany."

No one can answer.

No one "believes" it.

It was decided from the beginning that Faye was the culprit and nothing was done. Alke knew it, but even if he knew it, he couldn't fully believe it. Even though she knew Faye was not that kind of person, she blamed him for her own weakness.

"Oswald has changed, perhaps because of Fay. But who else besides you has accepted this fact?"

Renault glanced around everyone again.

"Is there a person here who dares to actually fight against Ozwald? Someone who has fought against Ozwald on his own instead of passing the responsibility to others?"

Silence, no words of reply.
