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

Nina and Jean were stabbed in the conscience and got up from their seats.

They were holding onto a person who had just arrived today after a long carriage trip and talking endlessly.

Louis turned to Nina.

“After thinking about what happened today, Dame Nina, you’d also better go in and get some rest.”

He added softly.

“I don’t know the details, but the spirits used up a lot of your energy, didn’t they?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

She suddenly began to feel sleepy after answering. Perhaps she also hadn’t realized she was tired from the tension and excitement.

“Let’s talk about it later.”

Jean nudged Nina with his elbow and she nodded. It is a story that should be shared with him anyway.

“But not today. I’m going to sleep. I suddenly feel super sleepy.”

Even if she supplemented her exhaustion with something to eat, her whole energy was used up in one go, so she really felt drowsy.

“I’m on vacation for two days.”

Jean nodded to let her rest as much as she wanted. As Adrian left his seat first, Louis smiled and said.

“It’s still hard to understand the Duke’s consideration.”

“It’s good timing, isn’t it?”

Nina laughed back.

“That’s right.”

Louis was impressed.

The atmosphere was still at its peak, but he chose to act like a person who spoils the party just because it’s late at night, though the truth is he’s full of consideration for them.

Somehow, you’ll think, ‘how could he do that’, but on the other hand, it would also make you think, ‘Good, I also feel tired.’

Should he say that he is being thoughtful of others by ending it?

‘That the delicacy is excessive. When others see it, it will seem like you’re doing what you want to do.’

Even now, the conversation was flowing nice and happily, but thinking of Louis, who might be tired from the carriage trip and Nina’s situation, he ended it on the spot.

He didn’t even bother to say, “Sir Louis must be tired.”

If he did, Jean and Nina would become inconsiderate people. It’s a consideration that’s hard to guess.

“But Dame Nina will surely understand the Lord’s careful consideration, right?”

“Yes, of course.”

Louis smiled gracefully at Nina.

“That should be enough.”

Nina also replied, thinking that if Sir Louis had become a court knight, his popularity would have already exploded.

“I think so, too.”

“I never really thought I’d be cleaning the basement.” Raja washed the mop and said.

“Sorry······.”

At Charlotte’s words, Raja opened his eyes wide and washed the mop vigorously.

“Didn’t he say something to you? This wouldn’t have happened if that idiot had told me the truth from the beginning.”

Kell, who was picking up dust and webs, turned to his words.

“What now?”

“That he’s an instigator. And she wouldn’t react that way either.”

“Raja.”

Charlotte stopped him from speaking.

“If I had known, I would have done more.”

Raja flinched in her firm and hard tone, filled with little to no regret. But he did not stop attacking Kell.

“Actually, I’ve never liked you before, because you are the only one with a distant face.”

“If you don’t like how handsome I am, why don’t you pull yourself together?”

“I don’t like that tongue either.”

“I didn’t know you were interested in my tongue.”

Charlotte looked at Kell in surprise. Kell would have laughed moderately and turned the topic with good words or stepped aside. But she can’t believe he was hitting the other head-on in this way.

Raja’s face, who could not beat Kell, was red.

“What? You punk?”

“Seeing that you’re cursing all of a sudden, I guess you have nothing to say. But I think it was a personality thing if one starts cursing suddenly.”

Raja said, “Ha!” and laughed loudly while throwing the mop.

“Come out.”

“I don’t want to.”

“Oh, really? Then just stand there.”

Raja clenched his fists and Charlotte interrupted them.

“Get out of the way.”

“We’re being disciplined and you both were trying to make a fuss?”

At Charlotte’s words, Raja clenched his teeth. She was right every time.

Kell said to Charlotte.

“It’s all right, Charlotte. It’s just us. And I don’t think anyone’s coming this far.”

Kell shrugged, Raja shoved Charlotte’s shoulder and said,

“You said it well.”

However, Charlotte stood firm and didn’t budge. Raja’s face distorted.

“Are you on his side?”

“It’s my fault that we’re being disciplined. If you’re going to get angry, you should vent on me.”

Raja’s navy eyes rippled.

“Hey, do you think I’m doing this because of the punishment?”

“Then what’s the matter?”

“He’s the problem. He has no sense of companionship. Nothing.”

At the sudden remark, Kell said in an unfair mood.

“What are you talking about? How—”

“If you consider us as your equals, you would have just told us, ‘he looks like an instigator,’ and we could’ve come up with a solution, not being beaten alone and making us look like idiots.”

Raja’s voice grew louder and louder.

“You think I’m a jerk who needs your protection? Don’t be ridiculous. I’m sick of your stupid looking down on me.”

Kell had nothing to say.

He did it for his colleagues, but all of that turned into nonsense. He was angry and he felt it’s unfair, but it was also understandable.

Kell glanced at Charlotte. She stood still between the two without budging.

“I was wrong for not discussing it. Well, I’ve······. Never had a relationship like this before.”

His stammering words made him feel embarrassed, so he wanted to leave his seat and run away. His mouth went dry as he revealed his weakness.

“What? I thought you were a natural.”

Raja folded his arms.

Kell laughed.

“Yes, that’s my strength. But I’ve never been this deep before.”

He was always a moderately convenient human being. It’s easy to find someone who’s convenient to use easily.

“As expected, of Kell.”

He doesn’t hate hearing that. Thanks to this, he has never made special relationships with people even though he’s very close to everyone.

To be honest, he doesn’t even know what it is.

Raja looked at Kell silently. He can say even more here, or he can drop it without reason by telling them to stop talking nonsense.

He glanced at Charlotte.

Then he took a look at the ceiling, took a deep breath, and breathed out a long “Haaah.”

“I’m sorry I got angry about useless things, too. I wish I had just said quietly that I didn’t like it.”

If Charlotte hadn’t mediated, they would have fought about the wrong thing just now.

He thought he should fix his anger, but it didn’t work well.

As the awkward atmosphere that was unique to those who have just reconciled flows through the air, Charlotte said.

“Let’s clean.”

“Okay.”

“Yes, let’s work.”

The three began to concentrate on cleaning again.

“Are you already leaving?”

Benzel looked at Nina in surprise. With a bruise on one of his eyes-on the right side, he totally looked like a raccoon.

It was the part where he was hit in their last sparring – though Nina still gave him some mercy and hit him softly.

After losing the match, and discovering that Nina was a Viscountess and had a higher position than him, Benzel began treating her with courtesy and respect.

“Not already. The Imperial Ball Season is almost over and we’ve been in the capital for far too long.”

To the point of boredom.

Avesa’s study also fell over and Randell had to go in and out of the Church as a witness.

Nina was attached to Randell as an escort, of course. Sages often come to attack him, so an escort was needed.

Thanks to this, Nina had the opportunity to use the magic defense training she had with the Sun Spirit several times in real life.

The sages could not dare attack Nina after she had beaten them several times with “physical force,” and all they could do was shout insults at her.

The Blue Stone Island announced that it would remove the position of Grand Sage from Randell, and he said to Nina with a rather cool face.

“I see why Kirill came out of the Blue Stone Island.”

Thanks to that, when she went to the Church together with him, she was hoping she could meet the Templar Commander, the High Priest, or Fiona, but all of those didn’t happen.
