The man's sin was to 'try to stop the tyranny of Emperor Arnold Hein'.

Rudger Lars Rovain.

He is the earl of the land in the northernmost part of the country of Garchhein, a loyal minister who served his ancestors in the royal family for generations.

On the battlefield of the past, I have heard that he was a frontier uncle with numerous martial arts medals and was admired by many.

But the loyal minister, Uncle Rovine, was killed by a man who was supposed to be his master.

Now, three years later, Arnold's war of aggression, which made him emperor, will be tragically slaughtered by touching the scales.

(I heard all sorts of rumors about killing him alive or jumping his neck at one thought. The Emperor Arnold Hein executed an entire clan in order to redeem Uncle Rovine for his' treason '…)

One of the reasons countries became terribly afraid of Arnold was the massacre of Lovine.

Such a person now stands in front of Liesche.

Rovine shifted his gaze from Fritz to Liesche there.

"... eh"

Looked at with gray eyes, slightly wandering.

Even though it is only a serene expression, the atmosphere that is entangled is the samurai themselves.

(Borderline uncle... I'm only entrusted with a front called the border. Together, they're going to spot everything)

As it is, will you be exposed to being a woman?

Imagining that, Liesche swallowed solitary spit. Rovine says in a quiet voice with a thin crease open.

"... you are"

The moment Liesche's tension grew, he went on like this.

"- Do you like chicken?

"To?"

They ask unexpected questions and open their mouths pompously.

Rovine, on the other hand, is the face of hearing the most obvious things.

Keep the mess of Liesche and the frizz next to him pale, without a thing.

"If you don't like chicken, I'd rather have some other meat. Then beans, eggs, milk."

"Um."

"... you don't like it?

"Yes, I like it! There's no food I hate!

"Right. That's a good thing."

……

I wonder what the hell they're making me answer.

It's not an atmosphere where you can ask, even if you want to, but Rovine is still a serious face.

"If it's not a difficult situation to eat, eat a lot more. From what you've seen, you seem to have less muscle mass than a standard man."

"Ha... yes! Thanks for your guidance!

You know what, I'm relieved.

I was learning in my pharmacist life about the food that makes a person's body. Knowledge not so pervasive yet, but I guess Rovine is saying that.

(In my case, it has been proven in a knight's life that no matter how much he eats, he can't be the same muscle mass as a man...)

In that sense, maybe he was still going to be noticed as a woman. The appearance creates a smile, but cools down inside.

Rovine seemed satisfied and snorted.

"Young people should grow up more. Beginning tomorrow, I will join your guidance, but thank you very much."

"Wow, Mr. Rovine is our mentor!? Wow!... it wasn't, it's an honor!!

Seeing the blissfully shaky fritz, Lovin loosened his expression all the time.

"I look forward to being involved in the development of those who have a future. The itinerary was delayed and I couldn't attend today's training, but how did it feel for you guys?

……

Fritz and Liesche look at each other.

It was Fritz who opened his mouth first.

"To be honest, it was about you caring so much about us! I was prepared to train the Knights so that they could run until they threw up more, or train so that they wouldn't be able to stand in an hour!

"I was a little surprised, too. We can drink water regularly, and we have breaks...... I've heard stories about knights from other countries, but I just want to instruct newcomers more rigorously"

Rovine nods at what the Lieshes have said.

"Certainly, until very few years ago, this was the case in this country as well. Sometimes during the war, they needed instant combat. But some of you changed that habit."

"Bad habits? Do you have training?

When Fritz twisted his neck, Lovine told me politely.

"It's an indisputable vice. Crush the 'unusable' first by rigorous training for recruits. That's how we forced the sieved humans to work out in a short period of time and send them one after the other to the battlefield."

(... ah)

"But what we elders need to do is train, not select young people. It's not necessarily that those who were not chosen in the first stages are the unsuitable ones. - More importantly, it's normal time now, and we don't need to take dangerous methods."

Leishe remembers fu.

Oliver, Alnort's squire, said, 'wounded, unable to aspire to the knight'.

Assuming Oliver's injuries were due to his training to become a knight, I can somehow imagine who changed that vice.

"You don't need to be pessimistic at all, either, because you failed to achieve what you think you will in this training. Just try to encourage them now."

"Yes!"

- Excuse me, Lord Rovine.

To the knight's calling voice, Rovine looks back.

"Soon, His Majesty the Emperor will be in the throne of sight. Come and have a look."

"Oh, I'll be on my way.... See you tomorrow"

"Thank you for the story!

Keep your head down alongside the fritz and see Lovine out of the training ground.

Liesche considered it varied, with his attitude intact.

(… Your Majesty. Father of His Royal Highness Arnold. Although I have never been allowed to see you, you are certainly here in this Imperial Castle......)

It's been a month since Liesche came to this country.

No matter how vast the castle is, the lack of contact with the emperor so far is still deliberately so directed.

(Nevertheless, I am most concerned now than His Majesty the Emperor...)

After a while he raised his face, Fritz was stroking his chest down as he took a deep breath.

"Ha, you're nervous, Lucious! I never thought I'd be able to talk to Count Rovine."

"Really? Fritz looked like he was behaving normally."

"No way! I'm actually sweaty! But I was motivated to hear you say it that way. Lucius, do you have time for this? Let's have dinner together."

"Ah!!

That's what they say, and it's annoying.

If it's not just time to go back, the Kingsguard knights could be suspicious. When a report goes from them to Arnold, that's all they're going to find out.

"Sorry Fritz, I have to go. I have work to do this afternoon."

"Oh well. I'm sorry, but I can't help it, come on!

"Thanks, I'll see you then!

After leaving the training ground in a hurry, jump into a nearby storage unit and remove the rash. Getting dressed isn't a dress, it's a uniform for a samurai.

A set of training clothes and other items were placed in a laundry cage and sheets were covered from the top. I don't wander around the castle dressed as a trainee, but if I look like a samurai, I have no problem with it.

When I got to the outhouse from there, I went back to my room from the balcony as usual.

Though I almost cried a little along the way when I climbed the rope with my trembling arms.

"Else, I'm home!

"Welcome back. We're all set."

Get a quick bath done in the bathroom while Else, the only one who knows about men's clothing, helps. I sweated, put on a clean dress and checked myself out.

Dry the loosely wavy coral hair, through it, and that's it.

"Good morning, Mr. Leishe!

"Good morning, everyone..."

Accidentally, the tired color appeared, and the setting "graceful bath after a good night's sleep until noon" seemed to break, but I was relieved that the samurai didn't seem to notice me.

As he walked with several samurai, including Else, to return from the bathroom to the room, he bowled with an unexpected figure.

"His Highness Arnold."

"... oh"

Trying to say it's unusual, I come to think of why he's here.

Multiple knights are carrying their bags into the office ready for Arnold.

"Is your move going well?

"I don't know. I'm not the one who moves my hands."

"My lord Arnold, who was not you! I'm in trouble, you have to give me proper instructions..."

It was Oliver, a squire, who showed his face from the office. He looks at the leachet, grinning.

"This is a leachette. Thank you for a wonderful room."

"No, Master Oliver. I would love to have an environment that is easy for everyone to work in. By the way, I am referring to Your Highness as' my you '..."

Arnold, looking up as he asked, replied with a terribly unpleasant face.

"I'm telling you to stop calling me that disgusting way, but this guy never listens"

"You're avoiding it as much as you can in public. Better than that. Literature for last month, on the bookshelf on your right hand side, okay?

Oliver has just returned to the office and is moving the other knights.

(... that way of calling it. Sounds like you clearly distinguish your own master from His Majesty the Emperor and His Royal Highness Arnold)

I'd like to hear from Oliver again soon.

With that in mind, Arnold called me by name.

"Liesche"

"Yes, what is it?

As he bows down, he whispers this way with his mouth close to Liesche's ear.

"... come to the West Gate tomorrow at 2 p.m. Don't let anyone else find you."

Is this how you lurked your voice because there are multiple maids around you? It kind of tickles me when I get ear punched with a slightly plundered voice.

When Arnold leaves, this time Leishe stretches out her back and replies with her hands on her mouth.

"Should I dye my hair?

"No. You don't have to do that."

"Okay. Then I'll come dressed to blend into the city."

When I finished stretching my back and stepped away from Arnold, that's where I first noticed the samurai gaze.

…………

(Hey, what!?

The samurai dye their cheeks and look at the leashes with glittering eyes.

At this time, Leishe was unaware of how the sight of each other's ears telling a secret story could be seen from the edge.

"Your Highness, please hurry!

"Shut up.... Bye"

Alnort, called by Oliver, walks into the office looking nasty.

He also parted from the strangely twitchy samurai, and when Else and I returned to our room, he opened his mouth restlessly until Else.

"Um, Mr. Leishe. Why didn't you tell me something earlier?

He asks me in my two rooms, and I think I'll just talk to Else.

"Actually, Else. Tomorrow afternoon, I'm going under the castle with His Highness Arnold."

……

At that time, I felt Else, who was always supposed to be faceless, changed the color of her eyes.

"… what kind of getaway is that?

"I can't tell you what it is. But I lost the match, and I was supposed to listen to everything His Highness ordered. So I'm sure we can help you with some sort of official business."

…………

"In the meantime, I have to dress inconspicuously tomorrow. Can I have a brown dress? There's also a gray robe, so it's quite dirty and traveller-style... wow."

Else grabbed my hand a lot, and Liesche was surprised.

"I'll take care of it, Mr. Lieche."

"Huh?

"I'll definitely take care of you tomorrow, I'll take care of it. It's okay, Leishe. I'll make you the cutest."

"Hmm!?

They made a strange declaration, and I had a kind of bad feeling about it.

"You know, Else. I'm just going out of town for a little work, so you don't have to go through all that trouble."

"You shouldn't......! All your clothes, your hair, you have to be perfect tomorrow!

I've never seen such a temperament Else.

With frightening leashes approximated, Else breathes rough with hum.

"Of course it's clothes that blend into the city. But it has to be cute."

"Yeah, yeah...?

"I'll borrow your clothes from Senior Deanna. I'm calling Senior Deanna right now!!

"Else, you, Deanna and I are totally friends...! Not, oh, wait!!

And the next day.

Leishe, who finished his training as a candidate in the morning, was sent from there to meet Arnold by Else, who prepared him with a gentle temper.

Rendezvous with the hood deeply covered and through a concealed passage for the royal family.

After walking out of the city from the basement, which combines the waterways, for about a few minutes, Arnold stopped and said.

"It would be better if we got here. You don't have to take the hood off."

……

That's what they call it, and Liesche gets a tingle.

I saw the fearful Arnold from under the hood while hiding his face as much as possible.

What Arnold wears is a simpler blue garment than usual.

It is a stuffed collar with a hidden neck, and although only the shape is close to common clothing, it is well tailored and cloth is good.

There was also a subtle embroidery of golden thread, which the person who saw it should have seen as a luxury item.

He wraps a light black robe around it from the top, making it easier to hide his mouth. The goggles he's lowering from his neck are what travelers are spreading to avoid wind and sunlight.

I'll be able to hide my face when I have to, but I'm basically going to walk through the city normally. Little is known to the people, such as the face of the royal family, so I know that's the right answer.

(I know, but...!

He hesitated to take the hood off and saw Liesche holding it down with his hand in front of the robe, Arnold said in surprise.

"What's up?

"... uh..."

Against the deceptive leachet, he goes on like this.

"Even if you're not so vigilant, there's no one in the public who knows me or your face first. It's no strange place to go now, so if they find out it was us later, there's no problem?

"Oh, right"

"... if you hide it so hard, you'll be suspicious of rejecting it"

Arnold is right.

If this happens, I can't help it. Liesche got ready and took off his hood with his hand off, which was holding the robe.

……

Make your mind up and look up at Arnold.

Arnold, with his eyes on him, looked a little surprised.

Hidden under a white robe was a fluffy, hemmed swimming water-colored dress.

This dress that Deanna lent me seems to be a fashionable early summer outfit for the girls under the castle.

It was a cool and adorable design with floral stump-like lines drawn from the waist down.

Coral colored hair is clustered on the right side and loosely knitted in three large knits.

Although there are other fine braids, if that's all it is, it's a common hairstyle, but the leachet was now braided with ribbons in her hair by Else.

That's what I should call Else, a proper 'normal girl in the city', yet cute and sprinkling attention is planted everywhere.

Nevertheless, I felt my face turn red when I thought I was exposing the figure to Arnold.

(Sure, it blends into the city...)

Both the dresses that Lieche wears and the hairstyle of three knitting have been seen everywhere under the castle since earlier.

But I don't feel comfortable.

Even Leishe likes to be stylish, and in places like nightclubs, she puts herself in the mood for dresses and hairstyles, but she's supposed to work with Arnold today.

――……

"No! I know what you want to say!!

Arnold tried to open his mouth, so Leishe blocked it.

"I had somehow guessed that today is your official business!! It floats even if it's too simple, and I don't know what."

"... because it's about you, I thought you'd come around the qualitative robe on your hemp dress."

"Is it that easy to understand!?

Being slightly shocked by what was being read, Arnolt once again looked at Leishe's entire body.

"The work of a samurai."

…………

"You seem to be misunderstanding, but there's nothing wrong with that outfit."

"... really...?

That's what they say, a little relieved.

Arnold went on to say this.

"I'll praise your samurai a lot later, too."

"Huh."

"It's time to go. As it is, it's going to draw attention in a different way than your fears."

"Oh, wait!

Leishe rushed after Arnold, who walked out.
