I, the Middle Leader[5] of the Order of the Temple's 『Shield Group』 have spoken."
"Ku-, even though you had lost your subordinates, and were then demoted..."
"Hmph. I'll send those words right back at you. However, between I who had completed my duty, and you who had given up halfway, there's quite a difference in our positions."
Baqciel gnashed his teeth at that.
Somehow, it seems that he's also been demoted.
Considering this, despite being called 'Duke', the position seems quite a bit less important.
It's strange.
Bacqiel's eyes are full of hatred.
"You... No matter how high of birth you may be, if you get too carried away..."
Baqciel never finished his complaint.
The female knight had quickly lowered her head.
"No, I apologize. I've said too much. I have no intention of quarreling further with you. This case is a personal matter. Please forgive me."
I had been thinking that she had great timing.
Saying as much as she wanted, and then immediately apologizing.
With those few words, she had dispelled Baqciel's anger as well.
I'll try and copy her the next time I anger someone.
"A personal matter, you say?"
"Mmn."
The knight nodded firmly in the face of Baqciel's puzzled expression.
Then, with a slap she then places her hand on my shoulder.
"This child is my nephew."
What was that!?
Part 5[แก้ไข]
Therese Latreia.
She's the fourth-born daughter of the Milishion noble family, Latreia, and having become a Middle Leader of the Order of the Temple at a young age, she's an up-and-coming knight.
Her family is the Latreia family that holds an Earldom.
Zenith's family is the Latreia family that holds an Earldom.
When it was revealed that I was her kin, Baqciel looked like he had given up on something, and after letting out a large sigh, waived the voyage fees for us.
Part 6[แก้ไข]
Right now I'm in a West Port Inn, and am currently being hugged.
The ones in the room are Therese, Eris and I.
It might be because Ruijerd had read the mood, but he's not here.
While saying this, Therese is burying her face into the nape of my neck.
"Rudeus-kun. I know about you from Nee-sama's letters."
