Chapter 7 (2/2)

“Crow-san… Thank you very much…”

Because she couldn’t stop her tears, Fii thanked Crow instead.

And though a little troubled, Crow smiled and said,

“Like I said, stop crying already. Just letting you know, but even if a guy cries, n.o.body is gunna comfort him. We’re only supposed to comfort women when they cry in bed.”

“Yes!”

Although she was still crying, Fii nodded with a smile.

It made her want to give her all.

If the knights had people like him, it would definitely be a good home.

Was there any better place to start her new life?

She might even end up in the same unit as Crow.

Before long, the pair finally reached the end of the line.

“Thank you for everything, Crow-san.”

“Don’t worry about it. It’s part of my job,”

Though Crow said this, it was obvious that treating people to grilled chicken was not actually.

“Just to let you know, I’m not going to show you any favour in the exams. We do things fairly.”

“Yes, I understand.”

Seeing Crow’s expression turn a little more serious now, Fii nodded in reply.

It was natural.

The length of the queue spoke of how many applicants there were. If just being a little close to a knight meant that you would be treated specially, the exam would never last.

With this many hopefuls, it would definitely be stiff compet.i.tion.

Was it possible for her to succeed…?

No, she had to succeed.

If she wanted to escape her life of rotting away in that villa as the Second Queen, she had no choice but to succeed as Heath.

Her expression had suddenly become strained, so Crow pat her on the shoulder. Looking up, she found him grinning roguishly at her.

“I won’t show you any favour, but I’ll be rooting for you.”

What a joy to hear.

Fii who had been alone the whole time since coming here, had found herself somebody who would root for her.

“Yes! I’ll try my best!”

“Yeah! Go for it!”

After cheering her up, with a wave, Crow made his way back towards the castle.

(A knight… I want to become a knight…!)

Compared to the time when she just wanted to quit being Second Queen, the feelings she held now were even stronger.
