The Duke's Daughter Is the Knight Captain's Young Wife

Wilhelm Eiblinger was handling the remaining errands in the Cavaliers' office both today and late at night.

Already the Knights face home and all that remains is Wilhelm. Serve faster than anyone else and go home later than anyone else. That is Wilhelm's routine.

Due to the patrolling of the Regional Knights (though not so far away) today, I am slowly returning slightly, and I am accumulating work. I leave the entrusted part to the young knights, but there are still many documents Wilhelm, the chief of the knights, has to look through.

Carefully check every piece of paperwork piled up like a mountain on the desk.

But.

"... you've done something wrong"

In the back of my mind, I really care.

Don't care, act like you don't care, but like a wound that ran to your fingertips, the more you think about it the more you care.

That's - yesterday at noon.

It's a conversation with Carol.

Wilhelm is going to refuse to talk to Carol.

The same is true of closing Carol's future, such as daughtering her to an old bone with no future in this way. I want Carol to marry a man his age or so and build a happy family, if she can. That's what Wilhelm wants, and that's what my friend Duke Ridd wants.

I'm sure you'll feel lonely like your granddaughter married, but Wilhelm wants that. That is an unmistakable thing.

I've never been more aware of Carol as a heterosexual than I was of my ex. I even thought like my own granddaughter. I don't know how to deal with it if it turns serious thoughts on me.

That's why I pushed him away.

"... but"

It was strange to have myself worrying about Carol all the time like this.

I want Carol to have a happy marriage. And Wilhelm wholeheartedly blesses it. There's nothing wrong with that behavior.

Yeah - nothing's wrong with that.

Even though it is, for some reason, my mind goes out of its way.

Huh, and a small sigh.

I have repeated many times before that a few stamps are pressed with inertia, not in my head, such as the letter of the document - so, yes, again, I see the document with the already confirmed stamp.

I find myself mildly angry at my head for not concentrating at all, but I don't know who to be angry at because it's Wilhelm's problem that I can't concentrate on.

Why is it that my heart moves so much?

I know. Carol is only a sixteen-year-old girl. And I'm an old man of sixty-two.

While there is such a difference in years, we cannot enter into marriage or anything else.

That is why Wilhelm cordially explained what duties he was performing and what position he was in.

Where I married myself, Carol wouldn't be happy, that's what I told her.

But still, Carol wouldn't leave me.

The result.

"... do you admire me enough to choose death"

Carol's happiness is not next to Wilhelm.

But still, Carol won't leave me.

But this - Wilhelm was born because he was too indecisive.

If you really think about Carol, you should have just thrown it out from the start.

If you really think about Carol, you should have said no from the start.

Yet Wilhelm did not.

I just persuaded him in kind words.

I was choosing words to keep Carol from getting hurt.

That's it, everything.

Wilhelm didn't want to hurt Carol.

"Ha..."

Go home, and I pushed him away.

I thought that was the earliest. If I had no choice but to be involved with myself and others, it was to make me think so.

Although.

Carol over the door - was crying.

If I could, I wanted to keep the door open and apologize.

But it was Wilhelm himself who hurt him.

It was all for Carol, I told myself, forcing Zach, who was resting in the infirmary, to slap him up and make him head to follow Carol.

"... why don't you"

Also, thoughts diverge.

Already, how many documents have passed while thinking? I have to check again.

How can it bother me, as my heart stares so much?

And there.

Through the door, I heard footsteps.

"... hmm?

All knights should be home by now. At a time when the date is also about to change, Wilhelm is the only one left.

It would not be a suspicious person, as locking is compulsory for the last one to return. If it's trespassing, you should be making such grand footsteps by now.

That's why Wilhelm waits, somehow guessing who it is.

Good afternoon, and the captain's office door, twice, was knocked.

"Get in."

"Excuse me."

That's what I expected.

Anastasia Eiblinger, daughter of Wilhelm's brother and head of the Six Flowers Knights, his niece.

I will be blood related to Wilhelm, but being the leader of the Knights of Women - the Knights of the Six Flowers, the relatives themselves are irrelevant, women ascended in strength. Best of all, he is also an easy person to work with from Wilhelm, as he has known from a very young age.

"Long time no see, Anastasia"

"I'm sorry for the night, uncle. I thought I'd head over to the mansion, but when the streets opened, I saw the lights in the office, so it depended on how I got here."

"I don't mind. I was just a little behind on my errand."

The biggest reason I was lagging is because Wilhelm was worried sick, but I won't say that.

"And what can I do for you?

"I have something to report and I'm here. Today, two people from the Knights of the Rockflowers took an entrance exam."

"You don't have to come and report that. I'm basically leaving the Knights of the Six Flowers' personnel to you."

"But I felt I needed to keep it in your ear."

"Hmm."

To Anastasia's words, Wilhelm frowns.

Just because there's a rookie in the Knights doesn't mean Anastasia needs to come and tell Wilhelm about it verbally. I guess purposefully visiting it in the middle of the night like this means that's all that matters.

"Let's hear it."

"Thank you. One tested as a sword knight. There's nothing special about this one. But the other one was the problem."

"What do you mean?"

He's a hygiene knight.

"Whew!"

Wilhelm mixes delightful colors with his voice.

Hygiene knights are precious. In the first place, it requires exceptional knowledge of medicine and pharmacy. And both medicine and medicine have to learn more expertise by graduating from a school that can only enter nobility.

That is why we have set the age limit for new entrants at thirty-five for general sword knights and bow knights, but we do not use the age limit for sanitary knights.

Wilhelm's ruling Black Iron Knights also have only two sanitary knights in the pure sense, both of whom run clinics and come because they gave way to their children. Wilhelm and his age are still the same.

And not a single sanitary knight belonged to the Knights of the Six Flowers.

There is a tendency for women to enter the family as long as they have little opportunity to study medicine, medicine, etc., and even if they were learning, they are women.

That is why he is so precious that he is sending one sanitary knight of the Black Iron Knights to the Rokflower Knights.

"But I had a bit of a problem with my background..."

"What kind of problem?

"I don't have any particular problems with the person… the house is a little too tall"

"If you're studying medicine, pharmacy, I guess so. But it's hard to get."

Hygiene knights are an unpopular profession.

It is a position where you have to acquire the expertise of medicine, pharmacy, while its salary is a little higher than that of the average knight. Besides, it's not good if you do all the medical practice, you have to attend training.

When things happen, they basically belong to backward support, but training is still mandatory, assuming they are involved in combat.

In other words, choices such as opening a clinic in Imperial Capital or becoming a palace doctor are obviously easier to describe the job and pay more.

If I were to say that such a sanitary knight had joined the group, that would be nothing but a joy with his hands up.

"The house is too tall, so I was going to say no at first..."

"Hmm."

"Exactly, the entrance exam, I'm also out of specialty, so I was sent by Black Iron to go to the Julius Sanitary Knight. The result is… I found myself a person who has studied much higher medicine than the Julius Hygiene Knight. It's a delicacy I would like under the curtain if I could, but given the quality of the house, it's not even so easy to say it's a pass, and for one second it's a hold. It would be a political problem if there were a war death or an accidental death in training, and I wanted to talk to my uncle..."

"Hmm... Hygiene knights are basically backward support. If it were in the form of an escort if necessary, the danger to life would be avoided as much as possible. In addition, if Anastasia commands in the training that the health knight participates in, accidents can be minimized."

"Ok...... this will be the material. It's up to your uncle to decide whether or not to accept it."

From Anastasia, Wilhelm receives a written

Written there is the background of the newbie. I don't know exactly what the face is, but Anastasia is compiling the details.

"Hmm, you're a lot younger than sixteen. This can be expected in the future…"

Sixteen.

What was the name written underneath it.

- Carol Amblouse.

"Ha!?

Wilhelm could only scream that way at the overly diagonal behaviour of too many Duchess Orders.
