Kaizer Dollet’s Story of the past

My name is KaizerBaron Dollet’s son

Dollet Barony’s territory is in the northern part of the E us the vassal of the Schwarzer clan

Being frohts, I’ve been trained in swordsmanshi+p since my early years

And apparently I had a natural talent for it

By the age of 12, there was no one who canmy peers

After that, even with the ht course of the Royal Acade the best

Just like at the Barony, I was quite famous in the Imperial CapitalWell if I could say so myself, I’m quite confident with how I look too

Hence, I received ladly play around with

In the imperial capital, my days have always been pleasant

However one day, when the Dollet clan visited the Archduke Schwarzer’s residence, I irl

Her name was Sharon

The only daughter of Earl of Roxietta

Translucent skin with golden hairAnd her soul-sucking big eyes…she’s beautiful

It’s as if, she was a Goddess from a picture that came to life

I almost lost my mind when I first saw her

She said that she likes [strong men]Isn’t that just what I am? Fortunately her family is also a vassal to the Schwarzer clan, and she even studied in the saht courseSo I approached her furiouslyBoth in the Imperial Capital, and in the Schwarzer territoryI also visited her birthplace, the Roxietta clan’s territorySince we studied on the same course, I had etherShe also…didn’t see with me

But her gaze……I noticed that it was directed not to me but to another man

Archduke Schwarzer’s young master Ares Schwarzer

Our liege, Archduke Schwarzer’s first son

He didn’t practice swordser man

Sharon would go to his side in front ofa son of the Great Clans without any hesitationHowever…when I looked at the situation, I realized that I was seriously wrong

There were certainly rumours that the two are fianceesBut rumors are rumorsI couldn’t simply accept it

Sharon is the only daughter of an EarlI thought that I should be able to ainst ive up

To convince Sharon, I would challenge Ares to a match froe was always refused

[I don’t think the match will be necessary]

[Then do you want to train together instead?]

[That too…I don’t want to burden you too muchSo no, thanks]

Those at the scene won’t say anything right then, but in the shadow they would say the worst thingsWeak, coward, a dishonor to the Great Clans name…etc

He also denies me in front of Sharon a couple of tiuy…for real?

Then…that incident happened shortly after

When Sharon was on her way back from the Imperial Capital to Roxietta Territory, I heard that her carriage was attacked by Baron Gordon’s alloped with my horse quickly to meet the Earl of Roxietta

The Earl had actually organized a troop of his own, and was about to head there himself

[Kaizer-dono, thank you for co all the way here…but you are still only a studentMoreover this is Roxietta clan’s personal problemYou don’t have to trouble yourself with it…]

[No, if it’s for Sharon, then I won’t mind the bear the trouble]

After pressing the Earl for several times, I finally joined the Sharon rescue team

To rescue Sharon and to gain favor fro really important

The situation is urgentBut ere waiting for the signal to ate…that Ares Schwarzer-dono appeared before us

I was annoyedWhy did this ? He didn’t even need to bother to co force

[Young ht nowWould you please step aside?]

[KaizerI also have not tiht nowSo could you move asideAlso could you call the Earl to come here?]

[…, the Earl is busy right nowWhy did you even coency…]

I thought to shoo hirabbed his are……no, his body didn’t even flinch one bit?

[I also don’t have much ti to irritate me]

Ares emitted a terrible pressureI could feel [fear] that I’ve never felt before coursing through my bodyAres had a rather small bodyHow did such a sth…

[Ares-samaSorry for the wait]

On that ti, the Earl of Roxietta, Lloyd appeared from behind me

[Has their location been found?]

[Up to where Baron Gordon held Sharon]

[As expectedThen, where is the location?]

[As expectedThen, where is the location?]

[On his Barony, a e amount of mercenaries too]

[Is Sharon safe…?]

[I think they won’t do anything to her until Prince Joseph arrivedThat’s why the time is precious]

[That’s for sureIf they e to themselves]

Earl of Roxietta said with a hint of relief on his face

[This abduction is that fool of a prince’s ployThose stupid clan only moved as per his orderWith the purpose to bury Roxietta clan to the groundThat’s what that foolish prince is ai forBut Joseph is still in the Imperial CapitalIt’ll take a few days before he can do anything]

At what Ares-dono said, Earl Lloyd bowed his head deeply

[Ares-sama’s arrival is truly a GodsendI was about to raid the wrong mansion]

[But at least you haven’t…Well, I’lad I made it on time]

Then Ares and Earl Lloyd laughed

Meanwhile I……didn’t have any idea what’s this all aboutHow did that man even obtain such information? And why did the Earl of Roxietta readily believed him

[After hearing about thisorder to]

[Young master really works quicklyNow then, what is our next action, Ares-sama?]

[I…]

Ares kept s what he said

[I’ll have you people clean up the restBecause I’ll definitely arrive there faster…]

And with that, Ares-dono passed a small paper to the Earl of Roxietta

[I o hereBy the ti care of the matterYou can take Sharon back by then]

[Ares-saether with us?]

[I…will not join youI’ll be too dirty with blood by then]

After saying that, he went out of the gate

After saying that, he went out of the gate

[Wait! Please wait!]

I chased after Ares-dono

[What was that all about!? Please tell me!]

I was frustratedFrom how the two interacted, it’s painfully obvious to me how the Earl of Roxietta put his absolute trust on Ares-dono…Yes, to the extent that I can’t even coed the initial plan to attack Baron Gordon’s hter life and death, and even if it’s what your Liege’s son said, will you still follow it so readily?

[Do you have so to say?]

That emotionless reply came to me in response to my action

[I’m in a hurry hereI don’t have time to play charades]

[Uh! The, then why don’t we go together…]

[I don’t actually mind…but]

As he said that, Ares-dono climbed up on to his steedAres-dono’s horse…it was a very beautiful white horse with equally pure whitethe horse’s neck

[I think it’ll be difficult for you to keep up with my horse]

Talking about the conclusion, I really couldn’t keep up at allAres-dono’s horse ran at such a tremendous speed…not todown

The difference only steadily increasing…until his figure was coone in the horizon

Just because Ares-dono had told us the location, I was able to get there on my own

I arrived shortly before the arrival of Earl of Roxietta’s troops

[What? is this…]

I could only say so when I looked at the state of the mansion

It was terrible

Perhaps they were hired by Baron Gordon, but there were a lot of fallen mercenaries…and neither of them had their head still attached
