Chapter 42 (1/2)

Chapter 42 – Reunion With Albert

As expected, within the group of Knights, the ones ere friendly with Chester were the Dragon Knights who shared the same rank as him

And, hts was Vice-Cohts, this man’s evaluation appeared to be divided

Speaking about it idealistically, he didn’t really show superiority as a cos with his spirit and gut Since he talked about things boldly whenever he opened his mouth, I felt that…he was popular with the lower ranks and was hated by the nobles

Since Chester was appointed under hi ith Greg

Since that was the case, it was either Chester or Greg Perhaps I should be careful co

After being lost in thought while looking at the Knights and the soldiers at the drilling ground below me, the horns sounded off

The guests began to quiet down, and the figure of King Melvin appeared froe was around 50 He had the ireat man

“Everyone, We are sorry for troubling you”

Melvin spoke to the square in a solemn voice

“Although this event was originally supposed to be a banquet to help people deepen their friendshi+p, those words aren’t suitable at this hour As everyone knows, several of Our soldiers gave up their lives for the Kingdo the Cardiff incident and the appearance of the De, thinking about the feelings of the wives, children, and parents ere left behind”

(TL: Royal we)

Melvin stopped talking for aout both of his arms

“However, We received a plea fro of tonight’s banquet This banquet is held so We do not forget their loyalty and bravery to Us It is so We do not forget the na as there are brave al assures you that attacks fro lory, they have inherited it from the souls and wills of those who fell Everyone, drink, eat, and enjoy this evening to your heart’s content This will be our farewell to the brave people who devoted their souls to the Kingdom”

Melvin lifted a cup and said this:

“To the brave soldiers!”

After saying that, he finished his cup in one gulp Everyone present followed suit, and then cheers resounded in the square Melvin nodded cal down the cheering, he said:

“And then, the little Hero who confronted the Dele-handedly and destroyed it We think that We are happy about the fact that such a person is hidden within our Kingdoardless of his own interests, and fearlessly confronted it We also asked hi”

Melvin then looked directly towards rin on his face

His expression somehow reuests had gathered their attention on me Hmm

…King Melvin If I were to talk about his nature, then he would be a siot along with Oswald, but in BFO, Players had no contact with his name nor his appearance

Due to that, it was the sa Melvin’s nature One’s reputation and face didn’t always ot involved with political situations here, but that shouldn’t determine whether he was trustworthy or not

The intentions of the Knights were theirs, the intentions of the King were his, and I still didn’t know if Chester understood his surroundings

After Melvin sat down in the large chair that was prepared for hian to playfor the ordinary, si behind it was probably different

Since the results of the daily training would be shown to the King, the infantry and cavalry foreed to the next forh, but it was satisfying to see them move in perfect coordination as they were commanded

After this, the program would surely continue on to a joust or a mounted archery competition

What they would be doing noas a Tourney, a tea battle

The arons, faced each other, and then started charging at each other Fro to knock their opponents off of theirthem with their spears as they passed by each other…Well, it was a competition

Their spears were h there were flat caps on the tips of the spears, which lessened its killing power, there was still the danger of being pierced by frag down from their mounts, so it wasn’t completely safe

Oswald explained soood points to me

Cheers sounded froht was knocked off from his mount by a spear

It appeared that one team wore red-plu theroups of five people each

As for how adefeated three people in a row, they were, in turn, defeated by the red team’s sub-captain

The red sub-captain let out a shrill cheer every time his opponents were knocked off their mounts

He faced the audience and waved his hands, becoly lively

Although I couldn’t see his face because of the helmet, it appeared that person was Chester

Oswald did say that it would be natural for the red team to win…and I felt that Chester was definitely superior to the others

However, Oswald didn’t appear to be that pleased by it Even though cheers rose from Chester’s victories, he didn’t look interested in it

“Is there a problem with Chester?”

“Rather than Chester…it’s the Knights as a whole That guy personally finished this without looking bad, so that isn’t interesting, and even if they can’t engage in close coht now are a bunch of cowards They know this well, whichfor the second strongest guy in the blue vanguard”

“…I see”

So that ed anization, but I thought that the excitement from this was necessary, since this was a social event in the end

Moreover, Oswald made quite the serious complaint

The way Chester fought was rather nor that into consideration, Oswald’s evaluation of Chester ended up being ‘He is neat and orderly, so it isn’t interesting’

“That’s why you should go and participate in this It will serve as a good stimulus for them, you know”

“What nonsense is that, this guy”

After I dodged Oswald’s joke, a woman approached us

“Excuseyour pleasant chat Are you Theodore Gartner-sama? My name is Annie Erimson”
