My Ex-Girlfriend Was Appointed As the Knights Commander

1. Did you hear the news? (1)

If you grab a kingdom guard passing by and ask, “What is the Order of the Ravens like?” they will say this in unison. He said, “The Knights Corps is the gathering of the worst idiots of the 3rd Legion.”

The place where the drunkard and the drunkard get kicked out, and the drunkard and the drunkard gets demoted. It is the Knights of the Jackdaw that have dishonorable nicknames such as the 1st rank of the knights with the largest number of waiting lists and the infinite power of miracles.

It had been two years ago that Maxim Appart had been appointed as the new vice-captain of the Jackdaw Knights. The fact that the former vice-captain was imprisoned for being caught up in a gang fight while drunk was a gossip that everyone in the know knew.

Maxime Apart. He was, in fact, a knight without a single special corner from the beginning. He had never had a famous teacher, and his family background was not strong. In the first place, there was nothing that the apartheid baron, who was not a martial artist, could do for Maxim. At least, it would have been nice if a family would have thrown at least one treasured sword, but the family that did not even have such a treasured sword was the apartheid baron family.

“Dirty world.”

It was Maxim’s habit. After all, it was a collateral branch of a prestigious family. Even if it didn’t help, I didn’t want to catch my ankle, but the mutant of the moon and family was not very welcome among the children of the great mutupa family. That fact had a big impact on Maxim’s demotion to the Knights of the Ravens.

“I’ll just go to the legal profession like my father said, or I’ll make a line with the court aristocrats.”

I had only been to one social church until I was an adult. Memories of the social church that I was forced to go to were never good. Since that day, Maxim has devoted himself to swordsmanship training. The effort was rewarded with passing the academy, but life after graduation was not so smooth.

The world was not at ease. Maxim became a sailboat thrown into the winter sea and swept away by the wind. And the ruined sailboat docked at the abandoned port of the Knights of the Raven, and the story seemed to come to an end.

“Vice-captain.”

The weather is nice. Where do you eat lunch?

“Vice-captain.”

Should I go to the place I always go… I want to go to another restaurant.

“Vice-captain Maxime Appart.”

“I am listening.”

Maxim rolled his eyes full of boredom. As expected, the person who persistently called her was Christine. Of the 30 members of the Knights of the Raven, she is the only member who can find Maxim so zealously.

“Have you heard about the new captain?”

“no. Strangely, the captain didn’t say anything.

Don’t you think there’s nothing strange about it? In the first place, the leader had never worked properly.

“You damn old man. Now that he’s retired, he left all the work to me.”

“…that would be awful.”

“Ah-oh! F*ck!”

Maxim’s clenched fists trembled in the air. Maxim’s hand rested helplessly on the desk that barely escaped being smashed.

“Still, I wonder if it will be handed over today. That man has one month left, so he should be replaced in at least a week…”

Maxim, who had taken control of his heart, spoke in an empty voice. There was not a single penny of expectation. Christine giggled as she looked across the river and saw the ever-changing Maxim.

“Christine, you are noisy.”

“Yes, sorry.”

Even in a place where only nerds gather, relatively normal people exist. Christine was one of those few normal people. The words were spoken coldly, but Maxim always felt grateful to her.

“Anyway, I wonder if this place will be tidied up soon.”

“Clean up?”

“The reason why the Jackdaw Knights have been able to live on is thanks to their efforts during the imperial days, but it feels like the newly crowned king is organizing the legacy of the old era one by one.”

It’s not even a joke from the beginning. The Knights of the Ravens were in fact one of the oldest knights on the continent. Before the Empire was torn into three parts, it was the sharp blade the Empire boasted. Isn’t it obvious what would have happened after the empire was torn into three branches? The Jackdaw Knights have become a can of speculation.

“…Are these knights really disappearing?”

Christine rubbed her arms and looked around the office. old office. The poorly maintained space smelled of moldy dust. He must have been cleaning steadily, but he had no intention of disappearing the old smell unique to this space.

“On the contrary, it’s strange that you’ve been holding on until now.”

“It means we will be organized too. Vice-captain.”

Maxim shrugged.

“I’ll take guys who are useful like you on their own. There is only one, but I wonder if those who are mana will retire as you said.”

Maxim collected the processed papers and organized them. It was all the responsibility of the leader. He glared at the wad of paper with resentment and irritation in his eyes, then stood up.

“Let’s have lunch. You worked hard to match the ledger together.”

“What. I’m glad I didn’t train.”

Christine joked back. Exhaled breath leaked from Maxim’s mouth, whether it was a yawn or a sigh.

“I don’t know who it will be, but I feel sorry for the new knight commander who will be appointed here.”

“Wouldn’t someone with a similar situation as the current captain come along?”

“Then I will beat the knight and go home. I’m serious.”

Maxim’s head swayed violently from side to side. His loosely parted light brown hair swayed together. It was an expression that said you were bald. Little romance of knights and martial arts remained in this poor young man.

“Shall I follow the vice-captain and beat him, then?”

“You can’t quit if you have to quit, can’t you?”

Christine is a wizard. Maxim did not know why a wizard of her caliber had fallen to the Raven Knights. Do you have a history of living with hatred?

“It’s because when the vice-captain leaves, I’ll be the only one who’ll take the seat.”

“That’s right.”

Maxim giggled and admitted that.

“Still, I want to work under a normal manager at least once.”

“I can’t wait. How else to be disappointed.”

Up to this point, Maxim could only laugh. With pity and anxiety for the newly appointed knight commander, Maxim and Christine left the office.

Without expecting at all what kind of wind and waves the newly appointed knight commander would bring.

—

flowy flowy.

These were two words suitable for the scenery of the training ground of the Jackdaw Knights. The knights wielding swords, spears, and shields shook their limbs with a bewildered expression. The energy to wield it must have been lost last night in bars and brothels.

If a knight of another knight order saw it, he would have been angry or even laughed at it, but for Maxim, their vice-captain, this was just a part of his daily life. Just because Maxim was a bystander, it wasn’t like he was a bystander from the start. Two years, and the attitude of the knights, who had not changed at all during that time, had eaten away at him and dulled him.

“Vice-captain.”

A voice that didn’t feel like ambition came from behind. It was a regular member who showed signs of being annoying.

“What is going on?”

“The captain is looking for you.”

After saying that, the member walked towards his hesitant comrades. Maxim resisted the urge to hit the back of the head.

‘Why is the leader looking for me again?’

Shouldn’t he be directing the training of the knights there right now? The blood vessels in Maxim’s temples twitched. The negligence of the general members did not cause damage to themselves, but the negligence of the leader returned as a serious damage in terms of increased work.

Even if I get hot, I’m the only one who loses.

Maxim calmed himself down. Anyway, if the next general manager is the same person, he should just throw in a letter of resignation. You just have to wait a week. one week only.

Maxim reached the director’s office with calm steps. I could feel the leader’s presence beyond the office. It was the sign of a shabby old knight who had lost all his martial arts, and even that lost martial arts was inconspicuous.

smart.

Maxim knocked on the door of the office slowly. The response was very slow, like an old man waking up from sleep.

“Come in.”

When the door was opened, the leader looked at Maxim with mischievous eyes. It was as if I had just woken up from a deep sleep. Maxim casually pulled a nearby chair and sat down. Maxim did not lose sight of the captain’s eyebrows twitching at that action.

I’m sorry

I didn’t have the guts to say that yet. Maxim buried himself deeply in his chair and faced the leader. As if he had lost, the captain spoke first.

“As you know, I am now retired.”

“Yes.”

Maxim replied grimly. There was a clear feeling of indifference at the base of it.

“The next general manager who will succeed me has been decided.”

He speaks very quickly.

I swallowed the words that had stuck in my throat. If I said that, I don’t know what the old captain would do.

“When are you coming?”

“Today, he will come before evening.”

“hahahaha.”

I put up with it twice, but I couldn’t stand the laugh that came out because of what I heard the third time. Whether Maxim did it or not, the captain continued to speak.

“Please take care of the takeover. Are you ready? Since it’s you, I believe you’ve done well.”

Shall I crush that dog-like old man’s face? Maxim began to think seriously. In fact, whether it was a takeover or the next general manager, there was no interest in it. Even if the takeover is not ready, it is said that the general manager has nothing to do with it. There will be no room for anything else in the head of the leader thinking about the fishing trip he will take after retirement.

“Here are the personal details of the new leader. Read it once.”

Maxim accepted the paper the leader handed over insincerely. Of course I didn’t read it. I don’t think it’s worth reading, but there was no reason to read it.

“The leader this time is a young woman. Oddly enough.”

However, the last useless word from the leader aroused Maxim’s curiosity. Maxim turned the paper over and began to read. It was because he was wondering if it was a sign of the reorganization of the Knights. If you have a good career and are promising, you will be reorganized, and if not, you will be demoted.

And Maxim froze from the first line of his personal information.

“Why, just because you’re a young woman, do you suddenly become interested?”

No matter what the old man grinned, Maxim’s ears did not hear a word. His eyes were nailed to the paper, not thinking of falling.

“…Captain, is the person coming this time really this person?”

At Maxim’s hardened voice, the leader frowned and asked again.

“Are you saying I gave you the wrong thing?”

“Is the name of the person coming this time really Theodora Benning?”

The captain thought it was strange for a moment to see Maxim’s rare reaction, but soon he answered without doubt.

“Exactly. Theodora Benning.”

Maxim jumped up from his seat. The leader said to Maxim, who turned around, as if passing it off.

“Prepare well. Did you hear that he was coming today?”

Maxim opened the door without answering him and left the office. The leader stared blankly at the closed door, then laid back on the chair and went to sleep.

On the other hand, after leaving the office, Maxim’s mind was completely white and clear. He hid himself in the vice-captain’s office as if from a flurry, and sat down at his desk. Then, he read endlessly through the slightly crumpled paper the leader handed him, reconfirming that he was reading it correctly.

Theodora Benning.

hit. No, maybe I read it wrong. It could be Theodor, not Theodora. It could be Venix, not Benning.

Theodora Benning.

However, no matter how many times I read it, the words ‘Theodora Benning’ did not change. Maxim finally accepted the reality that was right in front of him and sighed as if the ground would sink.

‘All of a sudden, all of a sudden, all of a sudden!’

To think that his ex-girlfriend is taking over as the leader of the knights she serves as the vice-captain!
