The Time Stop Breeding Uncle Wants To Retire

18 – I will become a Royal Knight (2)

Secrets don’t end with just knowing.

The moment you know a secret, you inevitably become involved with it. A secret is not a secret for nothing. Especially if you get involved with heavy secrets, your future may be in danger.

Moreover, it is a very, very heavy secret that the Royal Knights’ expedition failed. As I said before, the Royal Knights were the first united knights to be chosen regardless of race or class.

I was chosen so extravagantly. Of course, there was no skill to speak of. In fact, many majors have been established. Of course, some of them are exaggerated.

The fact that the Royal Knights are the continent’s heroes and hope. Even those who hate the Royal Knights. I dare not deny it. But the Royal Knights were defeated?

Even at this point, not too long after leaving the expedition? If this fact becomes known to people. It is obvious that great confusion will result. That’s how heavy it is.

“Why are you telling me that from the wind in the morning?”

A question arises here. Why did you tell me, a mere guard, such an important secret? No matter how I look at it, I can only see things that the guards shouldn’t know.

However, Querence, who came to me from the morning and laid them out, is undoubtedly an assh*le. At least that’s how I concluded. Quarence answered my question as if it were natural.

“Don’t you already know?”

“???”

“For now, let’s continue talking inside.”

Did I already know? How do you come up with an answer like that? Do you really know that I’ve been possessed? My head was confused by the unexpected answer.

Taking advantage of that gap, Quarence naturally came inside. I managed to clear up the confusion and come to my senses. Querence was already seated inside. I glared at Querence.

However, that’s for a while. I went over to the other side of Querence and sat down. Of course I was aware of the failure of the Royal Knights. It tells the story openly from the beginning of the game.

[The name of the Royal Knights, which shone brilliantly in the past, fell to the ground. There is not even a trace left of their rock now.]

[You are the sole successor and leader of the Royal Knights.]

[Rebuild the Royal Knights from now on.]

But I had no intention of getting involved in the matter. No matter how much time stop you use. As far as the ability is strong. My skills were only at the level of an ordinary soldier.

Didn’t he have no choice but to let go without being able to completely subdue the two ghosts he met before because he lacked the strength? But is that me involved with the Royal Knights? Even 10 lives isn’t enough.

I sighed. Anyway, since I already knew this, I wasn’t too surprised. So, no more surprises here. Just when I thought so.

“I will formally introduce myself again.”

“huh?”

“My name is Querence Averik. I am a knight belonging to the Royal Guard directly under the King’s Majesty.”

bodyguard. An order of knights under the direct control of the king who governs the kingdom. Of course, it boasts great power. In the original work where the Royal Knights were annihilated, they were treated as the strongest knights.

Of course, after the Royal Knights were annihilated, the only place to operate the Knights was in fact the Kingdom. But I never thought Querence belonged to the Royal Guard. Is that why you were so strong?

“But what are the SS doing in the refugee camp?”

“I was on a secret mission by order of His Majesty the King.”

“A secret mission?”

“Yes. But that helmet…?”

Querence asked cautiously. It was only then that I realized that I was still wearing a helmet. The fit of the helmet was so good that I forgot about it.

“Wait a minute. Right away…”

“What is a secret mission?”

“I’m sorry. I was talking about something important.”

“That’s right.”

I sat back down at the words of Helya who suddenly intervened. Quarence’s story was more important than pitching now. Quarence also realized that and continued talking.

“My job was to find candidates for the Royal Knights.”

“Candidate for the Royal Knights? Wasn’t it just chosen based on skills?”

“Yes, that’s right. That’s why our human place has been reduced.”

“Human space has decreased?”

This was the first time I’d heard it again. What does the Royal Knights have to do with human positions? Anyway, the Royal Knights are not politicians, but knights who were chosen to defeat the demons?

In fact, although it is vaguely implied that the former Royal Knights are great. I’ve never had it set up properly. So I tried to get it right this time.

“Yes, because of the status of the Royal Knights.”

The Royal Knights are selected based solely on their strength. Of course compared to powerful races like dragons and elves. Humans were bound to be in relatively unfavorable conditions.

Even that, while two members who originally belonged to the Royal Knights were killed in action. They became the first race without a single member of the Royal Knights. Was it… … ?

After hearing it, it seems that even in the original work, there were no humans among the knights belonging to the Royal Knights except for the main character and Helya. For some reason, I started to have an ominous feeling.

“The Royal Knights are the first united knights in the history of the continent. And now they have risen to a position that is practically the savior of the continent.”

“That’s right.”

“And that also means that two members of the Royal Knights can use their stature and position to give their own race or nation preferential treatment.”

“???”

So, in one word. Are the races belonging to the Royal Knights using their position and the status of the Royal Knights to benefit their own race or nation?

Of course, it wasn’t like that from the beginning. At first, it was created to save the continent from the clutches of demons. As time passed, one by one, I began to receive preferential treatment.

Also, the confrontation between the races that were not on good terms from the beginning. And as the factions that arose inside began to collide. Now, it is said that he has literally become the king of the end of the political scene.

“In one word, it means political quality.”

“Yes, I guess it can be so succinct.”

“It’s rotten. Right now, in the yard with enemies in front of you.”

It was absurd. In a situation where there is a public enemy right in front of you. Did you guys do politics with each other? Just then, a thought flashed through my head like lightning.

“Is that why the Royal Knights were wiped out?”

“You knew that, too.”

oh my god! During the two years it took for the game to go from early access to full release. The former Royal Knights rice cake, which was not solved until the end, is solved like this? Is that also political?

“Well, you’re calling those things heroes.”

As a fan of this game, I feel discouraged. Right now, I have no choice but to be angry from my point of view, who has to take over the damage caused by the annihilation of the Royal Knights.

[You are of the same opinion as me. Sir Hans.]

“This voice…?!”

“Calm down, Helya. It’s the voice coming out of the crystal ball.”

[I didn’t expect you to see through this far.]

Of course it wasn’t through. I’ve seen scenes like this in games, so I can only guess. But if I say this as it is, I’m sure I’ll be treated like a madman.

Quarence said nothing and took out a small marble from his bosom. Those little glass beads were as clear as water. There was something like a shadow in it. he said admiringly.

[In addition, even in the village, he is wearing a helmet without being vigilant. It is truly an example of an article.]

“No, that’s not it…”

[Before that, I would like to thank you first. Sir Hans.]

“Thank you?”

The voice that came from inside the crystal ball was a very excited one. I tilted my head. I think I’ve heard this voice. I don’t know where I’ve heard of it.

[Thanks for the information you provided earlier. After all, our kingdom was able to gain a proper voice.]

“Because only our kingdom predicted the failure of the Royal Knights. It’s all thanks to Sir Hans.”

“???”

did i tell you? when? No, wait. I have one guess. When I heard that the Royal Knights were going on an expedition before. There were times when I mumbled inadvertently.

[…] … So is it annihilated?]

[Leader.]

[?!]

No matter how much I think about it, I can’t think of any other reason to receive such a thank you. If so, Quarence heard that and reported it directly to that nobleman.

Thanks to that, I ended up predicting the failure of the Royal Knights. Did you mean that the kingdom’s right to speak naturally increased? I closed my mouth. Don’t be quick to say no here.

[I didn’t mean that.]

[Then how did you know the Royal Knights would fail?]

[ah.]

Right now, the Royal Knights have been wiped out, so it’s a sensitive situation. But you say something suspicious there? If you made a mistake, you could be arrested for treason. So, let’s stay still.

If you stay still, even if you can’t do it, you’ll go in the middle.
