Knights, Let’s Smash Them

100 – I’ll beat you too (4)

“You said that from the very beginning when you put me in the position of executive director, right? Please take over until the administration of the Black Lion Knights stabilizes.”

What? You didn’t just get promoted naturally, did you take over the position of head of the administration on that condition?

It was a while to be surprised at the shocking remarks that I had never heard of.

Like when Petra interrogated the adventurer’s guild in Monterto, she kept talking nonstop.

“The restructuring is over. A few business units that were unnecessarily bloated were also boldly cut. By giving up the northern dungeons, which are relatively difficult to manage, we have also reduced unnecessary expenses.”

Ah, I told you to sabotage mainly the northern dungeons…… Did you just categorize them as targets for personnel restructuring and exclude them?

You are capable, our Petra…….

“We have completed the maintenance of the administration’s work system and established a thorough performance system. The organization that used to be Jung-gu Heating was also established right away.”

“…… Did you?”

Levia’s eyes widened slightly as she listened to Petra’s story. It meant the first door of the golden hour.

Crazy bastard, it’s clear that this time, he just sat down as the manager and didn’t even listen to the results.

“Yes, it is. Administrative Reform 2.0 Led by the head of the Petra administration. It is well-received among practitioners.”

Levia scratches her head as if she’s having trouble with the head knight’s support shot.

“In addition, I wrote down the manual directly so that no mishaps like the last time would occur. If you look under my desk, I’ve made a proper handover guide for the successor administrative chief. It is 200 pages long, but unless you are an idiot, it is written so that you can understand the work of the administration to some extent.”

“Oh my God.”

“…… You prepared really well.”

As if it didn’t make sense even if they heard it, vice-captain Emain was shocked and Princess Lilia recited in a voice that seemed to be disgusting.

The more I listened to these stories, the more I felt a stab in my heart.

At first, Levia felt like a bastard, but she didn’t prepare anything and impulsively beat up the knights.

Actually, the one who hit Petra all the time was the general public.

“Therefore, there is no reason for me to remain with the Knights of the Black Lion any longer. Resignation, please fix it.”

It was checkmate.

If you insist on saying no in front of a person who speaks this far, wouldn’t it be more reckless?

If it was the Levia I knew, it was clear that she wouldn’t have put any special terms in the contract to retain her position as head of the administration.

There’s no way that she, who is as hard-headed as Lee Bona, could have shown such thoroughness.

No, it was because Lee Bo-na really didn’t know, but she knows this but it’s annoying, so she’s a man who won’t do it.

And what about the trouble?

It always ended up in an absurd rainy season.

“No.”

“For what reason?”

“Just!!! Are you too impatient to insult me in pairs? You can’t handle things like this, Petra!!”

‘That’s true too…… Obviously there are other people.’

I glanced around and checked the other people’s gazes.

The expressions on the faces of the conference attendees, including Princess Lilia of Hebron, were one of bewilderment.

Just a few minutes ago, we were talking about a warlock who had set up a nest in Rupel Manor, but suddenly a fantastic resignation show was taking place right in front of our eyes.

But I also understood Petra’s position.

Levia is a person who thoroughly cares about her eyes.

Of course, she shows off her canine personality unreservedly, and you might ask what that means, but it’s because of Levia’s f*cking personality, not because she doesn’t care about others.

Pride is the privilege of the strong.

And as for Levia, she was really strong enough to be counted on her hand, and the problem with her was that she knew that too.

So she made her appearance, her honor, her own status, her promise her first priority.

If you choose to return to the Knights of the Black Lion here, it is obvious that Petra’s nose, which is surprisingly vulnerable to requests, will be pierced.

She can get away somehow, but her immediate retirement, which she hopes for, is not possible.

In addition, rumors might spread quickly and use the authority of the knight commander to persistently harass Petra.

Her once-her own friend Lee Bo-na is also a person of great character who has been abandoned like that, but how could she properly set up a confrontational angle and leave Petra on my side?

In the end, there was no fastest and most accurate solution other than Makgora.

‘Petra…… Did you not want to go that far?’

I was overcome with guilt.

In fact, it is a precious bond that has followed me all along, even in that beggarly knights.

The person who betrayed that relationship was none other than me.

That wasn’t enough, so I even asked him to do something strange on purpose just for my own greed.

Knowing that all the sh*t that must have spilled in the process would be Petra’s share!

If that’s the case, shouldn’t we at least be responsible?

“Captain Levia, please. I apologize for everything that happened before. While meeting and listening to the story for a while, Petra was really struggling. Could she please be considerate with a merciful heart?”

I politely bowed my head towards Levia.

Her golden eyes, sparkling as bright as her hair, stared at me.

“Only with that attitude?”

I knew it would be like this.

Still, we’ve been together for several years.

I was aware to a certain extent that there would be no choice.

“… ….”

“Executive Officer!!”

“Lubern?!”

I knelt down and put my head on the floor. Only then did Levia put on a satisfied expression.

I feel like sticking a stick in her grinning mouth, but a moment’s humiliation is enough to get Petra’s freedom back.

“Okay…… Well, if you say so.”

She took Petra’s resignation letter from her and threw it away, then slipped it into her own pocket.

From noble mtl dot com.

I got up from my seat. As I was brushing away the dust on my knees, I heard Levia’s nasal voice.

“One last thing instead.”

“?”

Her stride, stride, she came. A feeling of something ominous flooded in, and Levia’s arm was lifted into the air.

‘f*ck.’

This is the timing to react sufficiently.

To be precise, I was able to block and avoid Levia’s attack without opening her aura, and even counterattack her.

But I just wanted to stay still.

It’s much better for me and Petra to just end this situation quickly.

There’s a lot of work to do right now.

If you evade or block it here, it’s an obvious situation that the leader of the gumball knights will tremble.

If you have to try, you can give him a cool slap on the cheek, right?

‘Your jaw must be a bit sore.’

The moment I thought so.

Ashy hair passed before my eyes.

***

Chin.

Levia’s wrists stopped in the air.

It wasn’t just Luvern that was taken aback by the sudden intervention. Embarrassment flashes in her eyes.

“This is too much, Levia Irtarte.”

Lilia Princess of Hebron.

Her cold eyes glared at her. Her eyes are so fierce that it gives goosebumps all over her skin.

“I don’t think it’s an honorable act to be shown as the captain of the Imperial Knights.”

“What do you mean…… !”

“Be careful what you say, Levia Irtarte. You are facing Lilia Hebron, the legitimate heir to the Duchy of Hebron.”

At that, Levia shut her mouth.

She’s the leader of the knights of the county of Xi’an Neya Rupel, so it didn’t matter too much if she was treated rudely.

If there is a title, it is not.

No, in the first place, at the point where Count Rupel wasn’t even a provincial territory on a scale comparable to the Imperial Knights, the absolute central power, Levia already looked at her as subordinate to her rather than himself.

However, it is not the Duchy of Hebron.

A member of the Three Dukes, who are said to be the second most powerful in the Empire after the Emperor. And she was Lilia Hebron, the direct successor to that position.

The Imperial Knights are, after all, knights.

Not another duke, but certainly lower than the daughter of the Duke of Hebron, who has enough power to be directly respected by the emperor.

Even with the title she held, Levia was an earl. It was only natural that there would be a difference between her status and hers, as her word was that in a few years, in fact, she would occupy the dukedom and ascend to her throne.

In the end, Levia nervously pulled her wrist out of her hold.

“Let’s go, Chief Engineer. We don’t have to take care of people who aren’t in our family anymore.”

“Yes, I understand.”

“They say that a man like that is good… ….”

They turned around and disappeared across the hallway.

‘I still haven’t killed that dog-like temperament, hehehe. That’s why I really need to get a true education once in a while.’

Lou Verne just clicked his tongue as he looked at his back.

***

Baron Kirten’s house where a storm swept through.

I was exhausted and lay down on the couch.

Similarly, Petra is sitting next to Sosogoth. With a slightly restless expression, she rose from her seat and repeated her sitting down.

“Why is that?”

“No…… Hey, I thought I’d prepare some tea…….”

“It’s okay, I already drank a lot at the meeting earlier.”

“Aha… ….”

“We have to go to another meeting later anyway. I am just resting.”

Lilia Hebron went to an audience with Harald Hebron as he arrived in Monterto.

Cianne and the members of the Snow Leopard Knights, along with Count Rupel, went out to meet the members of the imperial family and the imperial court who had just arrived from the capital.

Bernard also disappeared for a more accurate briefing with the wizards and researchers from the Larva Ecological District.

“Difficult, difficult.”

Petra winced and shuddered as I muttered to myself.

“That, Lubern Magistrate?”

“It doesn’t matter if we just call it Lubern now. It wasn’t even the same job after I left the company in the first place. Oh, Petra, how old are you?”

“Twenty-three.”

“Two years younger than me, really. You can just talk You can call me brother.”

“Oh, brother!”

I tried sneaking it, but I thought it would be rejected right away.

I felt embarrassed for some reason, so I smacked my mouth.

“…… Can I really call you that?”

“Huh? Huh. Of course.”

“Then…… Brother Luverne.”

What is it?

It’s more destructive than I thought.

I averted my gaze, trying to control my beating heart. Being conscious of this again reminds me of the fight between Cianne and Petra that I had forgotten for a while because of Arachne’s case.

“Thank you so much earlier. You didn’t have to do that for me.”

“Kneeling?”

“That too…… In fact, I was thinking of getting slapped on the cheek too, right? Even if I could have avoided or blocked it.”

“You know, Levia’s personality is so damn good. It’s rather beneficial if you get rid of it with one hit.”

I said with a grin at Petra.

“I didn’t have to. Why… ….”

“Because I was fully responsible for this situation. Oh, and I feel like I should apologize to you as well.”

I got up and bowed down to Petra, who was staring blankly at me.

“Sorry for leaving on your own, Petra.”

“Oh, brother, what are you sorry about! Of course I could. Just thinking about how the Knights of the Black Lion treated them so far…… !!”

“That and this are different. If I really valued it, I should have taken you out with me. That wasn’t enough, so you even made a useless request. You must have been very sad.”

Petra clasped her hands tightly to her chest in her sincere apology.

Shaking pupils. Moist and sparkling eyes.

“Right.”

She responds by opening her trembling lips.

“I was disappointed. Really. Even when she appeared with that person named Xian Ne, even when she suddenly brought a little child who looked like the two of them…… !”

Hmm?

Which one is the saddest one?

Something seems to have turned on a strange switch.

“So I won’t let you go anymore.”

“Huh?”

“Don’t leave my side, Brother Luverne.”

“Are you like this, Petra?”

At my question, Petra’s eyes curled coquettishly.

“Yes.”

Isn’t that a boat angle?

…… Please tell me no
