chapter 6
The Milky Way, a cluster of stars that darkly embroidered the night sky.
The stars were giving off bright light to the ground as if they were competing to show off their figure.
shrill.
And in order to repay the grace of the stars and the moon, the grasshoppers sat down and sang a song of retribution.
As if they had come to a small orchestra performance, the grasshoppers were creating their own harmony, and the stars and the moon embroidered light throughout the Montegro Academy as if in return.
sucks.
And at the center of the orchestra performance was a girl with an impressive reddish hair color, lying on the dusty floor.
It was obvious that my father, my sister, and my second brother, the head of the Countess of Edinburgh, would have been yelling at me to think about the Count’s correspondence if they had seen it.
Today, there was nothing but small grass bugs and a shallow wind that touched Rosé’s face in Edinburgh today.
” ..Article. “
Rosé looked up at the night sky and quietly murmured the word knight, which she had been pursuing and longing for since childhood.
Raise your sword, destroy evil.
Raise your sword and protect the weak.
Raise your sword and protect the royal family.
All knights were fair, honorable, and courageous.
” ..Brother. “
Rosé remembered her first brother, who was no longer in the world.
The night sky with only the stars and the moon resembled a drawing paper with a dark blue background.
So, Rosé quietly embroidered the face of her older brother that she remembered in the night sky with her little fingers.
Curves, straight lines, and countless geometric figures.
Rosé barely drew the face of her first brother in the night sky with her unparalleled drawing skills.
” ..I would like to see. “
When he was young, his first brother was his idol.
Called a nobleman, he did not treat the people harshly, and acted in a formal manner toward everyone.
He raised his sword high to save people from monsters, and lowered his shield to protect the people from bandits.
A man who is infinitely strict with himself, but infinitely weak with others.
Although there was a conflict with his father, he did not block the path of the first brother.
In fact, Edinburgh Rosé also knew his father’s heart.
Which father wants his child to get hurt?
From a parent’s point of view, the first older brother was nothing short of a blessing.
Wouldn’t any parent be worried when their son, who is supposed to take over the position of head of the family in the future, always jumps to the forefront of the front line?
“Edward’s brother…”
drop.
Rosé brought the red flowers that had been blooming on the roadside to the tip of her nose.
The flower’s name is 山棠花, and the flower language is passion.
Somehow, it seemed that he could feel the traces of Edward who had passed away.
Rosé felt the silence of the world for a moment, and remembered the words Edward had said when he was small and stroking his little hair when he was young.
“Rosé, my dear little brother. No matter what trials come your way, don’t be afraid. Knights are honorable people who rise over hardships and adversity.”
“Yes, brother!”
“Hahaha! The knight, Edward, will escort our cute lady.”
” yes! “
As happy memories flashed back and forth, Rosé smiled brightly.
An expression that a normal Rosé could never make.
Rosé is called a reluctant junior to seniors, an object of reverence to classmates, and an object of fear to juniors.
Like ordinary people, like girls of that age.
He smiled purely.
” …Silly. “
A person who left his mark on the world.
who died too soon.
A person who saved the weak and showed a bright smile.
A foolish man who gave his life to save his family.
As the unique fragrance of flowers began to spread toward the nose, Rosé smiled more brightly than before.
For some reason, he had a feeling that Edward’s brother was by his side.
“…who the hell was that person?”
With a flower in one hand, Rosé buried her face in her lap.
Someone who somehow felt similar to his older brother.
He also gives courage and motivation, just like his older brother did.
aroused honor.
“You look like my older brother..”
Appearance, height and atmosphere were all different.
Rosé seemed to have somehow smelled the scent of nostalgia filled with memories from Rommel.
“I want to see you again.”
A man with an impressive ponytail protruding from the back.
Even though he looked weak, even though he had an argument with someone else.
The man Rosé was thinking of now seemed somehow gigantic.
“To touch the stars.”
Rosé reached out towards the stars in the night sky.
A place I want to reach, but I can’t.
The man said the knight was also the same.
Even knights should dream impossible dreams, and that they should keep moving forward even in the face of adversity.
It might sound like a silly word to anyone who hears it, but Rosé engraved those words deep into her heart.
The spirit of chivalry that seniors, classmates, juniors, and even professors could not hear or feel.
the man informed
“Okay, let’s move forward.”
Rosé, lost in thought for a moment, put the red, mountain daffodil flower she held tightly in one hand into her ear.
Then, he gently lifted the wooden sword that had fallen on the ground and gripped the hilt.
Perhaps because it had rolled on the dusty ground, the blade had a lot of dirty dirt on it.
tuk tuk.
“I’ll get over it.”
tuk tuk tuk.
“Because it’s cowardly to despair just because you’re suffering.”
Rosé shakes off the dirt on the blade with her hands.
Just like wiping the dust off the sword, Rosé also shook off the thoughts that filled her head.
Rosé looked at the wooden sword that was somehow similar to her own.
The sword who spends his life with the knight always follows the knight.
So, the knight’s sword is in line with the life of a knight.
When the knight collapses, the sword also collapses.
When the sword is broken, the knight is also broken.
Therefore, the knight and the sword are one.
Shrek.
Rosé, with a wooden sword that had been dusted off, on her waist, began to slowly move towards the place where her master would be.
To meet his master, Princess Byzante von Hergé.
In order to show the master who has changed his appearance.
She started walking slowly towards Area 13.
” ..if we meet again, I won’t miss you.”
Rosé mutters a little while thinking of the man who somehow resembles her older brother.
I didn’t know his name or affiliation because he left in a hurry, but somehow it seemed like we would meet somewhere in this wide academy.
If your beliefs and beliefs are the same, even if the paths are different, in the end the destination will be the same.
“Never ever again…”
Rosé had no intention of repeating the mistake of losing her older brother the other day.
******
” ha… “
The student council president’s office can only be used by one person.
Even though it was already dark outside the window, the light in the student council president’s office didn’t seem to go out.
And the imperial princess who sat down on a chair inside the office and let out a long sigh.
Byzante von Hergé.
The documents piled up on the desk were forcing Hergé to get a stamp of approval, but Herje’s attention was focused on one book.
The true nature of the book is Rommel’s ‘What is War? ‘ was the book.
“The content is too difficult.”
In order to read a book comfortably, I changed into comfortable clothes and tied my long, shiny blonde hair into a ponytail.
When I actually read the book, it was full of terms and sentences unfamiliar to Hergé.
“It’s too much for me to study on my own.”
Hergé put her eyebrows on her forehead and gently closed the book.
It’s been 3 hours since I started reading the book.
It was already evening outside, but Hergé still did not understand the contents of the book well.
Of course, I memorized everything to memorize the contents, but I understand everything I memorized. The concept was a different matter.
” ..Shall we take a tutoring session?”
I had that thought, but Erje shook her head.
Is there anyone who can help me understand the contents of this book?
none.
Even if there is someone who can explain the contents of this book well.
“You won’t be satisfied.”
Hergé had already heard from Rommel about the groundbreaking tactic of the hammer and anvil.
Therefore, there was no way for Erje to be satisfied with the teachings of others.
Except for one person.
” ..Rommel.”
Rommel’s face suddenly rises.
“Shall we go and ask him…?”
For some reason, Rommel seemed to be able to satisfy himself.
But will he give him time?
There was still no clear certainty.
In the first place, this is the first meeting with Rommel today, and Rommel does not know who he is.
“Ughhh.”
As her thoughts became complicated, Hergé sat down on a chair and stretched for a while to relieve her aching body.
smart.
Then a knock was heard outside.
“Did anyone come to the office at this hour?”
Erje tilted her head and waited for a moment for the visitor to knock on the door.
“I’m Edinburgh Rosé, can I come in? Princess.”
“Oh, it’s Rosé. It’s okay to come in.”
Fortunately, the person who came to Herze was her friend and knight, Edinburgh Rose.
” Excuse me. “
“What’s going on late at night? No, I said that you could call me Hergé instead. Why do you keep calling me Princess..”
Hergé, who inflates the ball and complains about it.
Hergé’s appearance was like an angry puffer fish inflating its body to its fullest extent.
“No, Princess. I am a knight serving the Princess, so I cannot commit such disrespect.”
“Really! Rosé is a hard person.”
” sorry. “
“Excuse me, call me Hergé.”
“Oh, such rudeness.”
” Not funny. “
Princess Hergé, who complains about her dissatisfaction, and Rosé, who is embarrassed by her.
Rose was Herze’s most cherished vassal, and Herze was a kind lord to Rose.
The two knew each other more than anyone else, and they could understand each other.
“By the way… what happened? Didn’t Rosé swing her sword in the dormitory gym around this time?”
“I came to see the princess.”
“Four?”
“Is it rude?”
“Ah, no, I was surprised to hear such words suddenly come in.”
” sorry. “
1 win and 1 loss with this.
At the surprise attack of Rose, Erje swept her chest down to calm her heart.
Hergé took a deep breath, got up from her seat, brought a drink, and handed the cup of tea to Rosé.
“It’s all right, because I just needed a companion.”
“I think I came to you at the right time.”
hooch.
Hergé was drinking tea for a while, and found a red flower hanging in Rosé’s ear.
“Rosé, what is that flower?”
“Ah, this one.”
Rosé moved her tail for a moment, then smiled and answered Herze’s question.
“It’s a token of my own, I finally made a decision today.”
“..Have you finally made up your mind?”
Hergé often consulted with Rosé about her concerns.
Therefore, Hergé was also aware of the problems Rosé had.
Rosé was wandering.
She was disappointed to see the people around her, and wasn’t she a strange person? had doubts about
“Yes, I met a noble person.”
“Are you dear?”
dear?
Hergé listened to the word Rosé spoke of.
Who the hell was Rosé’s direction?
Hergé wanted to give him a bunch of presents.
” ..who reminded me of my shortcomings and taught me what honor is.”
” what? “
At that moment, Hergé saw Rosé smiling brightly.
Rosé, who had never shown a smile to herself, was smiling brightly when she talked about nobles.
“Do you know the name or affiliation of the nobleman?”
“No, I don’t know anything. It was just a passing relationship.”
Rosé answers the princess’s question with a sad expression.
At that moment, Hergé realized what Rosé was feeling.
‘ longing. ‘
Rosé admired the nobleman.
And Rosé’s bizarre encounter was familiar to Hergé as well.
Because today he also met a nobleman named Rommel.
” ..just like me.”
” Yes? “
“I met you today too.”
“The princess too?”
“Yes, he is the person who filled in the gaps in me and awakened me. In my heart, I want to become a tutor.”
“Who is he?”
“I was sure.”
Rosé put down her teacup for a moment and looked up at the ceiling.
Countless embroidered jewels, and bright lights descending as if enveloping themselves.
“And everything in this world was in that person’s head.”
“If you listen to the words, you are like a wise man, but…”
“Maybe a wise man really is right.”
” Yes? “
“It’s my feeling.”
Herje smiles while looking at Rosé.
At Herze’s smile, Rosé also smiled a little.
The master he served is smiling happily, but where is the knight who is not happy?
“It feels like we’ll meet again, but I want to see you again soon.”
“I also want to meet the person who made the princess smile.”
“Do I want to meet the person who made Rosé smile?”
“Ugh…”
Rosé hastily covered her mouth with both hands.
Unfortunately, Hergé had already enjoyed Rosé’s smile to the fullest.
Hergé looked at Rosé like that and chuckled a little, and Rosé started sipping tea with a blushing face.
The office of the student council president, whose lights are not turned off today, was shining brighter than anywhere else.
