Chapter 4: The Queen and the Knights[]
“Why did you go alone”
After hearing her cohed in exasperation
With the news Irukukuu brought, a serious at in the air
Guiche and the other knights knitted their eyebrows, and were thinking about it
Regrettable, Saito thought Because Tabitha went there alone She probably did not want to impose further inconvenience unto Saito and the others
While thinking that, Saito became embarrassed
When he was stopped by Henrietta, he felt relieved for a ivable
I had thought about doing what I could in this world, and yet when it caiven
Maybe that could not be helped
At any rate, Gallia is a large kingdom the people who defeated the powerful Albion forces with one blow
Until yesterday, I did not kno to fight enemies of such power
I definitely cannot win by just swinging my sword around recklessly Because I was stopped by Henrietta, I did not have to ainst That's why I was relieved
But, if I do not know the way, can't I just think about it?
Surely there's some way
Now, I have finally determined A determination to think about it, and to take action
My relieved self is unforgivable Instead of thinking about the best way, the part of ivable
He felt that the thing which had been bugging him until now, had flown somewhere else Cheerfully, Saito said to Irukukuu,
“It's great that you inforuys?!”
Saito said that, and half of those present nodded
“Of course! As a knight, we cannot let this pass!”
“No ivable! I'll do it! I wi-!”
Clenching his fist tightly, Malicorne shouted He reacted when it cairls
However, having brought forth such a brave idea, there was hesitation as well
“But if ere to think rationally, those guys are still impossible”
The one who said that was Reynal who shouldered the responsibility of ht Corps of the Water Spirit While everyone was fooling around, he was sitting in a corner, quietly sipping his alcohol but now that trouble had turned up, he stepped forward as if it was his turn
“What's your problem? You scared?”
Saito drew closer, and Reynal said calmly
“I ahts right? We cannot do as we like, isn't that so?”
“Yeah, that's true,” a reed
The Ondine students' opinions were split directly in half “If we don't go and save our classroup which ith Saito
“We're up against another country, we can't just poke our head into this just on a whiroup which ith Reynal
A noisy quarrel ensued, after which they turned to the corps leader in unison
“Hey Guiche You are the coht? Decide!”
Caught in between the two factions in such a way, Guiche became flustered
“I-I decide?”
“Isn't that obvious?”
“A-Ah I see whatever it is, this, that! The opinions are quite good The girl, or the duty of the knight corps”
“Don't 'quite good' about, decide now!”
Irritated, Monted Guiche ”Gulp”, Guiche sed his saliva After that, he hugged his head again, and started agonizing
“Geez! You” whilst Mont that
Louise shouted in quite a mad voice,
“What are you all doing right now!? If that's it, only those ant to go should go Isn't that good enough!? We don't need every o!”
Taken aback, everyone present stared at Louise
“About that but we are still the knight corps”
When Saito said that in a sullen voice, Louise kicked his
GuuuPlacing her foot on the head of Saito who had fallen down, in a pose which seemed to have become her routine, Louise shouted
“If you all can't agree on a opinion, what kind of knights are you! Or rather, if you really want to go to save her, you would have rushed out by noouldn't you? You won't be talking ht!?”
At her words, frohed
“Y-Yeah”
Obsessed in the knight corps, looks like I had forgotten the fundao, wouldn't he just rush out to save her in spite of anything?
I had become prudent, this sounds better, but maybe there is this part of me as hich doesn't want to part with the title I was bestowed?
Being stopped by Henrietta, because ofover the title I have over here, what should I do
Saito stood up, and nodded
“Allll right! Those ant to save Tabitha, follow me!”
Ooohh! Cheers went out
Nevertheless, Louise frowned all the more
“Wait right there We can't go WITHOUT a proper plan!”
“Plan?”
“That's right To properly inform the princess, to ask for help or cooperation, and then to eainst some band of thieves or sodom of Gallia!”
Dazzled, Saito looked up to Louise who declared that with her arms akimbo
Under her, Louise saw Saito looking up at her, captivated, and thought
Tabitha
The petite, blue-haired girl
That honest child, although I don't knohat she has been thinking, but hasn't she been helping us all the tio
If it were during those days, I probably wouldn't have thought like that
At that instant, she was astonished at herself who thought that way
Tabitha and o to such an extent
But Tabitha has always helped us, without any reason whatsoever
Just like this fellow Louise stared at Saito as under her feet
Saito as well, helping me without any reason
That's why, for Tabitha who had always helped us without any reason, I will go and save her as well
Yeah, I a
Until yesterday, I had been blindly accepting Henrietta andabout the honor of a noble However, truthfully, that's not the case At that time, I started to realize That was probably why I could strike Henrietta the other day
In exchange for Henrietta and my motherland, I still do not really knohat I should believe in butht
Gulared at Saito
Although it's me, when I have to do it, I'll do it
I have tried to be a hero and self-important by myself! Idiot! Idiot idiot!
“Alright! Let's go to the palace now!” Gazing at Saito who had stood up, Louise thought
Saito who had always helped her in that way, his feelings
What if it is as Siesta has said, his feelings for me are as a familiar?
As if denying the indescribable anxiety, Louise shook her head, and went after Saito
The Ondine members and Louise walked until they reached the Ostland which was anchored outside the acade up the ramp, she pointed at the captain's cabin
Donk donk! She knocked the door, and Colbert creeped out with a sleepy face
“Wh-t? Anything?”
Fro, Kirche stepped out as well
“Whatttt so late at night”
“Please go to the palace now!”
“What on earth what's wrong?”
“Tabitha was captured by the Kingdom of Gallia!”
Saito said that, and Kirche's eyebrows shot up
“What the hell!?”
Colbert frowned as well
“Is this true?”
“Yeah We were told by Sylphid and Tabitha's dutiful sister”
“So, we're going to Gallia now?”
In a calm voice, Kirche asked
“No before that, we go to princess-sama's place to seek for help, authorization and cooperation”
After staring , Kirche nodded
“So, we'll depart now! Miss Zerbst, I'll leave the steaine to you”
“Ya-!”
Kirche nodded, and vanished to start up the fire in the stea the bell which was installed in the captain's cabin, and over the whole shi+p, bell rings reverberated The crew the Zerbst family employed, flew out from every corner of the shi+p
“Everyone! We're departing now! Drop the rope!”
The rope which was used to fix the shi+p onto the ground, was quickly cut off, and the Ostland rose
Although the Ostland's instantaneous highest speed was far inferior to that of dragons, on average it displayed a cruising speed which could be co shi+ps In just less than an hour, they arrived in the skies of Tristainia
Leaving the shi+p in the sky, Saito and the others landed in the courtyard of the palace with “Levitation” The guards on duty as usual were the Manticore Corps
The Coood look with his bushy eyebrows, shouted in surprise when he saw the huures
“I thought it was someone suspicious, but it is you all huh This time, what is it?”
“De Cesaire-dono We wish to be admitted into Her Majesty's presence”
Louise said that, and the Co Officer of the Manticore Corps frowned
“An unreasonable request so late at night, if you were ordinary people I would have refused you directly but if it is you all, I guess that can't be helped”
Having heard what Saito and the others said, Henrietta became silent for a while
After that, she lifted her face
“I cannot pero directly”
Thinking that they would acquire the help of being issued with the passage perranted escorts to the country border, the group was splashed with cold water
“I will summon the aether with the incident of Louise's attack, I will strongly protest it”
“No way Well then, what should we do? You would order us to watch quietly?”
Henrietta becaazed at Saito,
“Once you get there, ould happen next?”
“But! But!”
“Isn't this the first time Tabitha-dono became part of the conspirators who attacked you and Louise? Why do all of you go to such lengths so save such a person?”
“If she did not betray them halfe could not have saved Louise She is our lifesaver Isn't Louise's lifesaver the country's lifesaver as well?”
Pleading desperately, Saito drew near to Henrietta
“Well then, though unwilling, I would declare Tabitha as our lifesaver However, Tabitha-dono is Gallia's Chevalier At best, whatever was done to her, isn't it Gallia's right? If we meddle in this, wouldn't it become an interference in their domestic affairs?”
“The ones going are us It is not Tristain's secret ers or army”
“All of you are now my household troops Whatever your intentions doo over there and save someone who committed a crime, it would cause serious opposition from them”
At the gravity of the situation, Saito and the rest were at loss of words
“It would probably turn into a war All of you are going despite that?”
They were clearly told that and sighs could be heard froathered
“What Your Majesty said is true”
“It would be terrible if a war occurred”
With Reynal as their head, they started dissuading Saito together
