I Was Given a Political Marriage

27 – Knights’ Oath (2)

“But Eileen, what was the lecture today?”

“As far as I know, I remember that it was aristocratic literature, right?”

“But he… isn’t that the professor in charge?”

When he came to his senses, the lecture started, and at that moment Xian felt something different from usual.

Obviously, the literature professor must have been a man, not a woman. But now, the person who entered the classroom was a female professor.

“That’s right. That professor… who is he?

Even Eileen, who remembers people’s faces well, was someone she didn’t know.

That doesn’t mean that you’re not a professor, or you’re in charge of a major that has nothing to do with us.

We looked at the professor carefully to see if there were other people besides us who realized this, and each of us just looked at it quietly.

“Ah, ah… Nice to meet you.”

A tired-looking female professor scratched the back of her neck and said hello first.

“Hey, our lecture is on noble literature… but that professor.”

“I didn’t get it wrong.”

‘why?’

I didn’t understand. This is because, from the appearance of a professor, he seemed to have no connection with literature at all.

A sword worn at the waist, and a uniform that looked like a military uniform.

If you combine everything, including the silver wing medal of light on her chest, she will…

“I’m Instructor Egoshi, who is in charge of swordsmanship at the Knights Faculty. The purpose of coming here is… Ha, I’m here to announce that the Academy President’s special exam will be held.”

“special?”

It was a sudden test declaration that I had never seen before until last year.

The instructor continued his explanation without stopping his mouth.

She still seemed bothered by all of this.

“The professors will randomly select you and the knight cadets to form a team. Then they will release you into the forest and the knight cadets will guard you as their masters.”

“I’ll protect it…? But what kind of test is that?”

‘Something’s strange. Starting with the sudden announcement of a survival test like this, it’s so strange that we’re not just knight cadets.’

Xian rolled his eyes as if scanning the suspicious instructor.

I continued to analyze while listening to the instructor’s explanation with annoyance.

“Wait a minute, I have a question.”

“Uh, what question?”

The first thing that happened was Xian, who was looking suspiciously at the instructor.

He stood up with his hands raised and watched Instructor Egosi with his arms folded expressionlessly.

“If you listen to the contents, it looks like a test for a knight cadet who has nothing to do with us. And… is it a test that could hurt us if we keep it?”

“It won’t get hurt. Everyone will use a sword made from processed wood, not a real sword… And, even if they do get hurt, the knight cadets, not the trainees, will get hurt.”

It was natural for the knight cadets who aimed to become knights who protect their lord.

A knight’s duty to deal with the enemy even if he had to sacrifice his arms and legs if he had to risk his life to protect it.

Taking it for granted, Instructor Egosi gave an answer to the second question after the first one.

“It looks like a knight cadet’s test… but you are the ones who deal with those knights and form an alliance. Politics, culture, and speech. If you’ve developed these skills, you should be able to use them.”

“You’re not wrong.”

Eileen, who had been watching from the side, nodded her head as if she agreed to some extent with the instructor’s words.

Teaching cadets are mostly the material of nobles who came to build connections with politics.

However, rather than pursuing learning at the academy, it is common to just come to play or pass time.

I don’t know if the principal, who was watching this, created this kind of test because he couldn’t just watch it.

For the first time, it was the first test that required the students of the two faculties to demonstrate their abilities for their own purposes.

“Then I think the explanation is over… Let’s leave now.”

“Where are you?”

“Where is it? Shouldn’t we go meet the knights who will be teaming up with us from now on?”

At the instructor’s sudden guidance, all the students started to leave the classroom.

There was a reason why those high-nosed aristocrats listened well.

‘Because the grades are high.’

In fact, I thought that some of them would go out to My Way without getting up, but the old scene unfolded where everyone obeyed.

“How much would the alternative grade be for this test?”

“Well, maybe this is the highest task you’ve ever done?”

Eileen’s thoughts were also reasonable because it was a case that was on a different level from the tasks I had done so far.

‘If I give high grades, I can graduate even if I fail all the other tests.’

“This is the Knights Academy. Everyone can find the team written on this paper and proceed with the knight oath.”

“Fortunately, the two of us seem to be on the same team. You’re going to take the knight’s oath, right?”

“Hmm? Wouldn’t it be better for you to do it than for me?”

We continued talking while looking for an article with a piece of paper with the same number on it.

“It’s a temporary oath, but it’s a ritual to protect the lord. I have to do it for you, not me. Wouldn’t your safety be more guaranteed?”

“It won’t hurt too bad…”

“Just do as I say. If you get hurt, I think I’ll go crazy.”

Although half-forced, he decided not to vomit because he knew you cared about him.

By the time you gradually start to find your own articles and form a team. We are also able to find articles with the same number.

Red hair like flames, not flashy but sleek armor and a sharp sharp sword.

Around the time I found Scarlett staring at me full of will.

She got down on one knee in front of me and stole my hand.

“It is an honor to meet you, my lord.

“Scarlett…?”

“Tsk, if only.”

side. Taking my right hand, Scarlett kissed me and forcibly fulfilled her knightly oath.

Scarlett’s two eyes filled the chair more than usual, and I was there.

***

There was a team where subtle air currents flowed between the cadets who were divided along with their knights.

It was around the time when I felt uncomfortable at the sight of a man leaving me.

The first to speak was Eileen, and the question that arose from observing her surroundings came out of her mouth.

“Is there something strange? Looking around, it seems that 2 trainees and 2 engineers have been assigned… Why is there only one of us?”

Xian looked around at those words. As she said, most of them consisted of 2 knights and 2 lords.

“That. Maybe…”

– Beep!

Before she could even talk Scarlett off, a whistle suddenly sounded, announcing the start of the test.

And watching the two female knights and tacticians walking from a distance, I stepped back nervously.

‘Are they aiming for us as soon as we start?’

Naturally, a team with one knight is weaker than a team with two knights.

So, the team that is most likely to be targeted is our team…

“There’s no warning if you come any further than that.”

widely. When the enemy appeared, the atmosphere changed in an instant. Scarlett took out her sword and made a hideous expression.

“It’s only one person anyway! There’s also a man, so take it down so you don’t get hurt quickly…”

“Who is overpowering whom?”

f*ck! tight.

As soon as Scarlett moved, the right knight’s breastplate distorted and he fell to the floor clutching his chest.

Along with the performance of crumpling iron with a sword, he hit the woman’s face with the leg next to him and took care of it in an instant.

‘amazing… Is that a recommended admissions student?’

Scarlett was no ordinary cadet. It’s not that he has power, and he’s not the legitimate son of a knight’s family.

If you ask if her coming to the academy was simply a product of coincidence, of course the answer is no.

I was able to come to the academy because I had talent and because there was an effort to make that talent bloom.

What’s more, she

“I will dedicate myself to my master.”

“Crazy… that guy’s eyes are gone.”

Scarlett’s eyes were brighter and brighter than ever.

She was immersed in protecting me to the extent that she deserved the word “clear-eyed madman.”

“With this, you understand why I am guarding it alone, right?”

“Sheesh, let’s subdue and deal with those nobles and leave this place.”

“Amazing… Scarlett, I didn’t know you could be as good as this… I didn’t know.”

My throat and ears turned red, perhaps because I was happy with Xian’s praise.

‘You tried to run away with me when you had that level of skill… ? That’s too much.’

It was a great skill to become a knight. Even so, Scarlett gave up that future and wanted to be with me.

Scarlett came to the side, perhaps noticing my eyes.

When I whispered something small in his ear, he opened his eyes wide in surprise.

‘I said, I’ll protect you, someday… Even if you run away, I’ll protect you.’

Scarlett still wanted to run away from this academy with him.

“Are you going to clean up that filthy mouth? Does a man called a knight covet his master?”

Eileen, who was watching him, pushed Scarlett away and hugged Scarlett’s shoulders.

Feeling the warmth again. Instinctively, you lean on your body.

“Hey… don’t we get our grades?

Xi’an’s right to speak, which had only noticed the two of them, finally came back.

Defeating the enemy first was good, but the rest was a big problem.

There were still too many knights, and there must be a lot of people who would be targeting us.

‘And the women hated Eileen… ?’

There were many women who envy or were jealous of Eileen who always had skinship with me in the classroom.

Of course, it was good to be a target, so it was best to run away quickly to settle down.
