Chapter 6 (2/2)

From the unit of the most talented knight, an escort will be chosen. It has been the tradition since long ago.

And for these knights, it is an honor to be chosen as an escort to protect the Spirit Princess. Plus, for the knights, it won’t be a problem if they don’t possess spiritual mana simce they rely on their physical strength but the Spirit Princess may lend her power to the escort.

For some reason I don’t mind now being chosen as the Spirit Princess, but the Knight Escort chosen was…….

“There’s no way that it’ll be that person right…….”

That person———— is Reiss, after that fateful day that shattered my love to pieces, after his birthday, Uncle Allan has told him about the Knight Order examinations.

The examinations are allowed to those aging from thirteen years old. Uncle Allan once knew someone from the Knight Order. Training Reiss from early in the morning the art of swordsmen, Uncle Allan instilled him with his hopes to be one of the Knight Order of the country. And he spectacularly pa.s.sed the examinations……. And according to the rumors that has spread within the territory, he also has ben picked to be part of the Special Knight Order at a fast pace.

And it is said that he was a cruel and unforgiving being for those who appears to be his enemies, strength that can’t be a human any longer and apparently gained him the t.i.tle “Demon Knight”

As a childhood friend whom I considered my first love, he seemed to be moving farther away, having those stories reach up to my ear, I, I felt emptiness growing wider on my chest.

Since the day that I hit him and yelled “I hate you” at him, we haven’t been in any contact, it was only later then that I heard that Reiss had left the territory.

In the past, there are not much people who knew about him, and just made me proud.

“Ne~e, what’s wrong? Suu. Somehow, you’re making a sad face. A while ago you were muttering, is that related to “that person”?”

I hurriedly left master’s office and headed to the library quickly.

Pleased with the sweets he had, Uur was perplexed on the feelings that I was emitting, even I was aware of what I am doing. And I already told him “…….. It’s not like I’m lonely Urr, after all, I have Urr beside me. But, hearing master’s story made me anxious for some reason.”

“Anxious? It’s fine, our Queen is a very kind one. I’m sure Suu will also like her. Don’t mind it too much!”

“It’s not really about that…… But Urr’s right, there’s nothing to be scared about. You don’t have to be worried anymore.”

That’ right.

I never thought that it would be Reiss that will be my Knight Escort, it’s been a while and we’ve been forced to meet again, how stupid. Since I have already cut off my ties with him, there is no such thing as fate.

In the first place, he was reffered to as a “Demon“, and to have been chosen as the Spirit Princess’ Escort Knight to protect me on the way to the Sacred Bell Forest, there must have been some kind of mistake.

Meeting again would be way too awkward!

“Well then, let’s return to work.”

I thought about preparing as soon as I get back at home, I tied my hair up.
