I Am The Commander Of The Second Male Lead's Knights

When Nina asked for an explanation, Adrian briefly replied.

When many of the best servants of the Count were laid off, the remaining people became anxious. In addition, it was self-evident that the trashy first son will be the next head.

Unless he broke his neck because he fell off a horse while doing his favorite sport which is hunting.

Those who were fired without letters of recommendation lost both their work and home overnight and had no choice but to become daily workers without being able to use their specialized knowledge.

Lorocomo came forward at that time. He first visited the butler and announced his intention to hire him again.

The difference between a Count and a Duke is huge. Even if the Chara Count has a long tradition, the Duke of Luverne is notorious.

Is there someone who doesn’t know of Nina La Dell these days?

The best sword of the Empire.

She has the arrogance to self-declare such a title yet no one could challenge her excellent skills. There was no objection.

Nina opened her mouth wide.

“Wait, what’s with that? What’s wrong with my image?”

“Wasn’t it you that fought bellacs and open duels?”

“No. I mean, yes, but······.”

Nina, who doesn’t know that her portraits are still on sale, was surprised to find that the impact was stronger than she thought.

“Isn’t Jack working too hard?”

“Jack said it was as easy as throwing snowballs from the top of the mountain.”

“By the way, some of our people fought today — I mean, let’s talk about it later. So?”

“After much thought, the butler called in and brought all of the people who were okay to work for the Duke. Of course, the amount that Lorocomo offered also had a huge impact.”

“I suppose so.”

“They’re not out of touch with the rest of the servants that work on the Count, are they?”

“Right.”

“They must be very envious.”

“Hmm.”

“So the butler asked me.”

“Without going through Lorocomo?”

“I’m now his master.”

“Oh, right. That would be the case now.”

Adrian said he would accept those who would come even if there was no recommendation, and most of the servants who remained in the Count also moved to Duke.

“He also seems like trying to figure out if I’d want to keep the ways and rules within the duchy the way it is.”

Nina nodded at Adrian’s words.

“Yeah, he needs to know the taste of the owner first to do anything. Rather, I was worried he would try to bring in the style from the Count’s household, but he’s a really nice person.”

“I think he’s very surprised by the freedom.”

“Haha, I’m sure there are a couple of people who will freak out just by looking at you and me.”

“Sometimes I thought you might forget that Nina, but you didn’t.”

“Of course not.”

Nina opened her eyes wide, and this time Adrian asked.

“Anyway, a fight huh? Was that the reason for the commotion earlier?”

“Kell, Charlotte, and Raja.”

When Nina explained the situation, Adrian’s pale pink eyes slowly folded.

“An instigator.”

“No matter how much you think about it, they are overly malicious rumors. The problem is that we don’t really know who’s behind it.”

“The knights that lost to you are a possibility. It’s a big disgrace to lose in an open duel.”

“Well, the evil they started might be the seeds, but there are also people who water, fertilize, and grow them.”

She thinks it’s something that came to be because of some defeated knights.

Nina shrugged her shoulders.

“At this point, shouldn’t they be honored to have dueled with me?”

They don’t even have balls.

Then Nina snorted.

Adrian nodded seriously. Having a match with a talented person like Nina is not as easy as picking stars in the sky.

They are now accepting it indefinitely.

Anyone who didn’t know this value would have nothing to gain even if they had a duel with her, and anyone who knew the value would be grateful just by having a match.

“Benzel wanted to challenge me, too.”

Calling him so friendly, Adrian was confused at the moment if there was a member of the Dark Knights he didn’t know.

“The Commander of the Lily Knights?”

“Yes, on the terrace that day. Did I not tell you?”

Nina tilted her head, making Adrian nod.

“Come to think of it, I did hear something like that happen.”

Adrian thought about what kind of face the Commander of the Lily Knights would have if he knew that Nina referred to him in a friendly manner.

‘He might display a disgusted face.’

However, he hates the fact that it doesn’t seem to stop him at all.

Adrian turned the topic around.

“Rather, Sir Charlotte struck a man in the head with a beer mug, so we have to send someone from here to find out where the bar is.”

“All right.”

“Did you give them disciplinary action?”

“Cleaning the basement.”

“That’s a very vague punishment.”

“Isn’t that ambiguity just right?”

Adrian laughed at Nina’s words. If she says so, then so be it.

From the entrance of the restaurant, Jean watched as the two sat side by side at the ends of the dining room chairs, tilting their heads closer, laughing, and talking. Louis asked,

“What are you looking at?”

“Those two. Don’t they look just like two cats?”

A black and white cat.

Louis answered Jean with a strange face.

“I don’t know it’s right to describe the master as a cat.”

Jean wrinkled his eyes.

“Yeah, the Lord is different. A little bit.”

Louis looked at Jean with a worried face.

“I’m concerned about you.”

Jean laughed at what he was concerned about.

“There’s no helping it.”

It is more like familial love than loyalty between soldiers.

Jean made fun of Louis.

“And you’re talking as if you don’t care.”

“If you point it out like that, I have nothing else to say.”

After laughing, Nina raised her eyes and waved her hand.

“Are you feeling well?”

Jean strode up asking, and Nina nodded.

“So what did you two talk about?”

Nina asked, looking at Jean and Louis. Jean said teasingly.

“It’s a secret.”

“Hey.”

Nina stretched out her arms over the table and tapped the table with her palms as if to express dissatisfaction.

Louis said, “Do it when there are no people around.” Nina gently put her hands on her thighs. He laughed at her while sitting down.

“It’s been a long time since we four gathered. I heard various rumors in the countryside, but I want to confirm if it is real. Especially Dame Nina’s.”

“Yes.”

“Is it true that you were confessed by Prince Faradiv?”

Nina’s eyes widened as if they were about to pop out.

“You heard about that? Even at the Silver Lake Manor?”

Louis didn’t tell them he’s been exchanging letters with Jean, he just smiled and Nina dropped her shoulders.

But soon, she raised her head triumphantly and said,

“I knew there would be nice men in the capital who would recognize my charm.”

Jean had an expression that was beyond description, but he did not speak out because Adrian was there.

Even if it came out, it might not have been a word, but rather a reaction like “eurgh” or “irk”.

Nina continued.

“But actually, there are other things more memorable than those things. The confrontation with the bellacs, public duels······. Princess Vialentel······.”

That splendid appearance.

Besides, she was very beautiful.

An ambitious and beautiful lady. Isn’t it strange not to be attracted?

It’s just that her ambition is to destroy this side so the roads don’t overlap.

She felt sorry for her.

When Nina said so, Jean said with a trembling face.

“Do you like her?”

“Or course?”

“I hate her arrogant character of stepping on other people.”

“Come on, Jean doesn’t like anything about the aristocrats.”

Jean folded his arms and nodded at Nina’s point.

“Right. Oh, of course, your Grace and Commander La Dell are exceptions.”

Nina laughed.

His arms are bent inwards, and no one else will curve their arms so haughtily as Jean.

Adrian stood up from his seat and said,

“I have a lot of work, I’ll go up first.”

Adrian said.

“We’d better get up from our seats.”

Louis stood up smiling softly at the words and crossed his arms.

“Thank you for your consideration.”

At his answers, Adrian took a glance at Louis and left.
