The next night.

I was eating in the barracks cafeteria.

The guards had a long conversation about the Knights.

"The Knights who have been tyrannical have suddenly grown up."

"When I ran into him on patrol, he would spit out all his disgust and contempt, and sometimes he would give me his hand."

"After all, Isn't Princess Ice's guidance working?

"Seeing yesterday's meeting is usually a big deal.Seeing how Siegfried fought has changed the way he looks at the guards.

It seems that the Knights have changed.

I felt it, too.

When I encountered the knights on patrol,

"Hey, look. Sieg....!

Sieg said he beat Deputy Commander Eleanor yesterday...!?

You weren't there.That was horrible. Hit me before I lose my skin.It was like a demon. "

That's right...

If you're going to lose your mood, I'll rip your neck off.

Mr. Sieg! Thank you for patrolling again today!

I was walking alone with rumors.

... no, I'm not such a Shura man.I mean, I want you to stop greeting people in the city.My eyes hurt from around me.

Well, I wish the Knights had grown up.

This will reduce the unreasonable suffering of the people of the city.

That was when I was thinking about it.

"Uooh!?

And one of the knights raised his voice as if to jump.

I ran upset at the scene.

"... hmm? It's kind of noisy."

Was there a bug in the meal?

With that in mind, I turned my eyes on the guards.

"... mmm"

and the guards shouted.

Eleanor was standing at the entrance to the cafeteria.

The guards stood in colour at the sudden visit of the Knights Deputy Commander.

"Is Sieg there?

Eleanor opened her mouth to the upset guards.

I'm sure she was overwhelmed by her polished appearance.

The guards said, "Whoa!"and pointed to me at once.

... they sold their colleagues lightly.

I saw Eleanor.Then they approached us.I sit in the chair while she stands next to me.

Looking at each other.

The guards watched the scene from afar.

"Why is Eleanor here...!?

"I've never heard a knight come to the guards' barracks!?

"I'm sure I came here yesterday to retaliate for being beaten at a meeting.The battle to wash blood with blood starts now...!

"What do you want from me?And I said,

"... I came to tell you something."

"What do you want to tell me?

"Yeah."

Eleanor nodded and remained silent for a while.She plays with her forehair and feels soft.I looked at her and gave her a bow.

"What's wrong? There's something I want to tell you."

"Well...."

Eleanor, who dyed her cheeks with dust, tended to hesitate.

"... I seem to have fallen in love with you.So I'm going to ask you to socialize on the premise of marriage. "

"I see. How about socializing?

I felt uncomfortable when I repeated it.I asked him back without thinking.

"... I'm sorry.Is that a mistake? I think I just heard you sign up to socialize.Did I miss the duel?

"No, I'm not wrong.I applied to you for a duel, not a duel.I want to be with you as a lover. "

…………

I was freezing.

"... why?

That's what I finally narrowed down about.

"I told you.I think I fell in love with you.... Sieg. Do you know what my favorite thing is? "

"I know what you hate."

"Fufu. It's an honor.Does that mean you're interested in me at all? "

No, it's a force majeure knowledge that you're going to ask.... well, it would be wiser not to pinch an extra mouth here.

"My favorite is someone stronger than me.Sieg, I've been thinking about you ever since I lost to you. "

Eleanor said with a serious expression that she had her hands on her chest.

"When I think about you, my chest sounds like I'm not who I am anymore.At first, I thought you might have been enchanted.So I was worried and talked to my subordinates.I didn't know it was you.Then they told me it was love.It was then that I realized that I was in love with you. "

Eleanor was losing her inorganism as an ice princess.Her eyes have a passionate fever, and her cheeks are slightly clammy.

The ice of the ice princess had melted.

He melted the snow and looked completely like a maiden.

"May I have your answer?

"I don't want to be told that."

Something unexpected happened.

"... okay.I won't tell you to draw a conclusion right away.It's about the future of both of us.Just think carefully. "

I appreciate your understanding.

"... by the way, you seem to have a lot of luggage."

"This is it. I thought I'd quit the Knights and join the Guard."

"-What?"

I was caught in the eye.

"No, but what about pride as a knight?

"Of course, I'm proud to be a knight.But most respectable of all, you belong to the Guard.Then I want to be with you. "

…………

Eleanor seemed serious.

Oh, no.

If she stays like this, she will quit the Knights because of me.

"Wait a minute. Please reconsider."

I put my hands on Eleanor's shoulders.

"Ki, we're so close...."

Eleanor turned away embarrassed.

"As a guard, as a knight, I will defend each city.And I need Eleanor to be in the Knights. "

"... why?

"The relationship between the Guards and the Knights is not good.I hope you and I can be the bridge between the Guards and the Knights. "

"Does that mean you trust me?

Ah.

"... okay."

Eleanor nodded.

"It's your favor like no other.I will continue to register with the Knights.I'd really like to join the Guard right away. "

That's good.

Looks like you managed to convince me.

Besides, if you had a relationship with the Knights, it would be easier for you to do it as a guard.If the two organizations work together, it will be easier to protect the city.

It's just...

I'll be back.

Eleanor turned her heel with a smile.Leave the barracks behind in a good mood and at a light pace.

... I didn't think this would happen.
