49 Chapter 49: Qualitative Change (2/2)
Sebastian shook his head with a wry smile ”he willingly became a monster to protect the people in the kingdom… winning wars without killing is simply a fantasy” Sebastian sighed and said soothingly.
”N-no one asked for him to make that sacrifice” The maid retorted.
Sebastian just shook his head ”I am going to transfer you to work somewhere else, you are still too young… maybe one day you will understand”
”Okay… why is no one on my side?” The young girl looked down and answered slightly sad

Caesar exited the servants quarters and headed towards the palace gates, once he arrived, the guards bowed respectively and opened the gates.
”Have a safe trip, your highness”
Caesar nodded his head and walked past them, he walked down the long staircase and swiftly made it to the training grounds.

”HUA”
The knights were all busy doing different types of training, some were running and others were practicing their sword techniques.
*clap*
Caesar clapped his hands loudly to gain their attention and walked towards the middle of the training grounds, the knights all shifted their gaze to Caesar and roared out.
”We greet the Marshall!”
Caesar smiled nostalgically and roared ”Line up!”
”Yes, sir!”
The knights hustled toward Caesar and lined up in front of him… They all anticipated what he would order next.
”Do you all remember our past training, what we would do after each training session?” Caesar asked with a smile.
”A mock battle!” The knights all roared in excitement.
Caesar nodded his head ”that's right, let us have one last grand battle, but, this time it's for fun”
”Hoorah!”
”Haha, I can't wait to see how much we have improved”
The knights conversed with themselves as they energetically went to the weapon racks and picked up their weapons. Caesar also walked towards the weapon racks and picked up two spadroons.
The knights look at Caesar with curiosity ”why is the marshall getting weapons?” they thought to themselves and got into position at the corners of the training grounds.
Caesar walked to the middle of the training grounds and was surrounded by all of the knights, he held both of his swords tightly and roared out.
”If we do the mock battles the same as last time, that would be boring wouldn't it?” Caesar asked curiously and scanned the training grounds.
”Whichever group can land a blow on me will be awarded 20 gold coins”
”2-20 gold coins?”
”I can buy so many things with that much money”
”Hehe, I can stop by the b-brothel”
The knights all smiled widely and talked amongst themselves with excitement…
Caesar suddenly moved his feet and entered into an attacking stance ”that is of course, if you can hit me” He said sarcastically.
The knights all gulped audibly and started to encircle Caesar…
”Oi, what's the plan buddy,” Knight A said
”Who knows, I feel as though we are walking into hell's jaws,” Knight B said
”If you die, I will take care of your wife,” Knight C said
”Ok guys, I got a great idea… Hey, are you guys listening?” Knight D said
”I stopped listening after I heard you say the word idea,” Knight E said
”Hey, can you fools hurry up!” Caesar roared impatiently.
In the middle of the training grounds, Caesar smiled widely, ”Hopefully I can gain a percentage today… I feel like I am going to have a qualitative change once I pass 10%” he thought to himself as he raised both swords.
