Sophia's little hand wraps my hand around.

I was upset. When I looked at Sophia, Sophia laughed naughty, ticklish.

If Sophia wants to quit the Knights, I want to respect that will.

In reality, however, there are many troublesome problems.

"You can't stop the Knights that easily."

Sophia nodded at my crush.

"I know. But being with Solon is more important."

I'm glad you said that, but I think a lot of people would disagree that Sofia would stop being the Knights Commander.

First, the people inside the Knights of St. Sophia.

For the Knights, the Virgin Sophia was an indispensable force in both offense and offense.

Furthermore, because Sofia is the symbolic presence of the Knights, the Knights without Sofia lose their inner and outer courtship.

Many members, like Arte the Wise, are intoxicated by Sofia.

I mean, the Knights executives say, "Yes, really?" and they don't allow Sophia to leave the Knights.

In addition, Cleon, as Sophia's fiancée, would come to bring Sophia back.

He had declared that he would protect Sofia, both public and private, so maybe Cleon has a crush on Sofia.

Even if not, if my fiancée were to have escaped, Cleon's pride would be hurt, as would Cleon's reputation from around him.

The Imperial Church has granted the title of Virgin to Sofia, but at the same time the Church asks Sofia to achieve a high achievement as an adventurer. The Church should hope that Sophia continues to head the Knights.

And don't forget, it's the Imperial Marquis, Sofia's father.

He was right next to us.

"Sophia, why are you here?"

The dark voice sounded low.

When we turned together, there stood a tall, deep-bearded, magnificent man arrogantly.

Sophia's father, Imperial Marquis Gorgias.

It could have been expected that Sofia's father, a leading nobleman, would be at this inauguration. It was a pleasure.

He hid behind me like Sophia was scared.

"Now you were talking about quitting the Knights. Is that for a man like you?"

They were asking me about the whole conversation.

Gorgias unfailingly pointed at me and looked at me in disdain.

I thought it might be rude, but I didn't dare say anything.

I've met Sophia's father before, but I've always been an arrogant, devious person.

"I heard about your selfishness, and I let you go free because of it, what do you mean?

"Because even your father was against me being an adventurer at first!

Sophia argues with a trembling voice.

Called the Virgin Sophia, her father seemed horrible to Sophia, even as she became one of her most powerful adventurers.

Sophia, who had been too smart since childhood, was neglected by her family, especially by her father, Gorgias.

Entering magic school in a flying class is also like being troubled by your family, Sophia said.

Gorgias smiled.

"Oh, you've become an adventurer by pushing my opposite, my parent. If I had, I could have forced you back into the house then. You didn't because you said you could contribute to the Marquis if you became an adventurer. And you're not gonna do that?

"It's..."

"Your Knights are recognized by the country and the Church, and they produce a lot of gold. Because that helps my Marquis, I've allowed you to behave on your own. And now you want to quit the Knights?

Sophia grabbed the sleeve of my clothes.

I stood in front of Gorgias and told him.

"Sofia is Sofia's will. Don't you respect your daughter's feelings? If it was about money, you'd already made enough money, wouldn't you?

Instead of admitting that Sofia would be an adventurer, the Marquis had received huge sums of money from Sofia.

That is the treasure Sophia has in her hands with the activities of the Knights. The Knights were in possession of considerable treasure and profits from the sale of resources by means of a ruin attack, which they were distributing to the members.

Originally, it belonged to Sophia, but Sophia has offered much of it to her father.

I should have had enough.

Gorgias shook his head sideways.

"There's no such thing as a civilian kid like you telling me. Quitting the Knights might be a good idea. But originally, when I left magic school, I was going to send Sophia out to my wife somewhere. I waited a few years for it. So I also ask you to follow the fringe I have prepared"

It's about Cleon's engagement.

Engagement with Cleon, the son of a prestigious nobleman, is of political value in itself.

Yet, if we let the same fellow Knights marry each other, the Marquis can have a further profit to ascend from the Knights.

"You haven't thought about Sophia, have you? Besides, even in the battle earlier, it was supposed to have helped you with Sofia's work, but you didn't have a word for labor?"

When I said it, Gorgias laughed lightly.

"What right do you have to talk about Sophia? I'm Sophia's father. Sophia has the right to be told anything."

I lost my word.

Whatever the civilians, for the nobles, what their fathers say is absolute.

Both the future profession and the marriage partner must obey the Father's will.

"Come, Sophia. I'm not going to let you do this."

Gorgias grabbed Sophia's arm.

A reluctant Sophia looks at me, helps me, and sues me with her gaze.

But what can I do?

It is difficult to exercise strength on Gorgias on this occasion to rescue Sophia.

He is Sophia's father. There are many aristocrats gathered at this venue, and they will support Gorgias' deeds.

Yet if I try to force Gorgias to stop me by waving violence, then this time, me and Sophia will really have nowhere to be.

If he is of a higher rank than Gorgias, he can be stopped.

If only someone recognized under imperial law would free Sofia of such power as to be superior to her rights as a father.

superior to the Imperial Marquis.

It was, for example, the royal family.

Until then, Philia kept her mouth shut.

"Marquis Gorgias. Mr. Sophia's my guest, isn't she? I was wondering if you could let me go."

Philia commanded Gorgias with a beautiful voice.
