My Fiancee Was the Villainess of This World

4 – Winds of Change (2)

Knight Commander Bertrand.

He is a martial arts genius who excelled in martial arts even before his coming-of-age ceremony.

At the age of only 25, he won a martial arts competition where the geniuses of the empire gathered, and at the age of only 30, he took the position of knight commander.

It means an outstanding warrior who is counted among ten fingers in the thousand-year history of the empire.

If I could get the support of such a person, there was a high possibility that those who turned their backs on me would quickly show interest.

Above all, the reason why you should get close to him first is that one of the targets is his son.

The next knight commander, Kyle.

He is a knight who is evaluated to be superior to the current knight commander when it comes to swordsmanship.

However, his achievement in the magical part has been slow, and he is still evaluated as inferior to the current knight commander.

‘It was an earth attribute, right?’

The earth attribute, one of the four elements, contains the magic of immobility, and is known to be slower to achieve than other attributes.

That’s probably why he hasn’t shown any outstanding performance yet.

‘Um….’

A guy like me from my previous life didn’t know the details because every time my boyfriend appeared on the screen, I spat out disgust and passed it over.

But if I think about matching the CG from the important scene with the information I know about Kyle….

‘It must be a story about feeling burdened and overcoming it.’

The son of a father who is said to be one of the greatest geniuses in the history of the empire.

He is evaluated as being incomparable with a sword, but unlike his father, his magic achievement is slow and his ankles are caught.

I meet a woman in the midst of the expectations around me, my own reality of not living up to them, and the burden that seems to be weighed down.

Together with that woman, she achieves incomparable achievements, and finally receives the approval of her father, and later rises to the position of leader of the knights.

Maybe something like this won’t unfold?

‘If it’s normal, it’s just an ordinary story….’

Even if the story and ending are obvious, the story is different if the achievement is the leader of the knights called the sword of the empire.

If you get the recognition of the current guild leader, you can probably build a friendship with the next guild leader.

It can be said to be an efficient way to form human relations befitting the royal family.

If it’s a problem, I’m in a situation where I’m not getting a very good evaluation, and I’m in the current situation where I’ve committed something that I hate….

‘Wouldn’t it work somehow?’

Is it because the memories of the previous life came to mind?

Or is it because I put a walking nuclear bomb next to me?

My heart calmed down at the thought that it would somehow work out.

“Raise your head.”

I ordered the stable keeper, who was still on his knees, to stand, saying that he had committed a mortal sin.

“I am so sorry, Your Highness!”

“It has been done. First of all, would you like to give me a replacement?”

“Of course, Your Highness!”

I had already told the captain the day before that I wanted to learn horseback riding.

So I can’t wait any longer.

I got on the horse prepared by the stable keeper and headed to the riding arena where the knight commander was waiting.

‘It seems that the news has already arrived.’

The leader of the knights, Bertrand, was born in a noble family, but he is so simple that you can’t even think of him as a noble.

Even if he is called an idiot, he is still the crown prince, so he can’t suppress his unpleasant feelings.

“It’s been a lot of fun, Your Highness.”

“Long time no see, Sir Bertrand.”

Yes, it’s been a while.

Because Knight Commander Bertrand declared political neutrality and intentionally distanced himself from me and Dior.

A man with such an upright personality that he didn’t even show his face at the banquet hall celebrating my birthday.

“Did you say you would learn to ride a horse from scratch?”

“Yes.”

I nodded lightly, and Betrrand, not hiding his displeasure, began to examine my horse.

“Horse riding is not just about getting on a horse. The rider and the horse match each other’s breath. It can be said that it is the first step in horseback riding.”

Would the rider and horse breathe together overnight?

Wouldn’t it be very common to talk to a bastard like you?

How did you sell your horse, you bastard!

… I’m sure you want to say this.

“You don’t have to worry, Sir Bertrand. This guy is also a horse raised by the Empire.”

“….”

This guy was also raised by an empire with a thousand-year history.

You mean you can’t even breathe with the rider?

When I said it with that intention, the knight commander’s eyebrows twitched.

He is a man with extraordinary loyalty to the Empire.

I can’t say anything bad about the empire here.

Truly, he was an unmanned man in both a good and bad sense.

As if the knight commander had nothing more to say, he was taking a deep breath to calm his anger.

It’s not just because of one horse.

‘He must think he’s being insulted.’

A horse ridden by the crown prince.

A famous horse among the best horses in the family of the leader of the knights must have been dedicated.

I killed those words just because I was in a bad mood.

If that’s the only thing, it can be dismissed as a fool’s act.

Because the evaluation of the existence that is me is already crawling on the floor.

But what did I do?

I told the captain the day before that I wanted to learn horseback riding from scratch.

And the next day, as if it were natural, he killed the horse sent by the knight commander’s family and rode another horse.

It is a situation that can only be seen as a situation where the leader of the knights and his family are being humiliated.

Are you going to be sarcastic in such a situation?

On the contrary, it was to the point that I thought it was great that he was enduring like that.

Kook.

It was almost visible that the strength was in the hands of the knight commander.

You really want to hit me in the face with that fist as hard as you can.

I looked at the knight commander and put on a serious expression.

“What has already happened cannot be undone. Whatever it is.”

Just as a horse that has already died cannot be brought back to life, the past when I was a fool cannot be undone.

However, things can change from now on.

I looked at the knight commander and took out the dagger I had kept in my chest.

“… What does that mean?”

Tension stood on the knight commander’s face.

Clap.

He put his hand on the scabbard sheathed around his waist for the first time.

It was a tremendous pressure.

I look at such a knight commander—

I cut off my hair, which I had tied up in ponytails for horseback riding.

“Your Highness!”

That’s cool.

Is short hair like this?

I felt like I vaguely understood why the guy from my previous life expressed frustration after looking at the head of this body.

I looked at the knight commander running towards me with a puzzled expression, and put my head forward, which was still held in my left hand.

“I don’t know if the lord will believe it, but I had no intention of insulting the lord or the family. I want my sincerity to be conveyed.”

“Why… this….”

The leader of the knights looked at the hair that had been cut off like horsehair, and his hands began to tremble in a state of fascination.

I noticed that I fully understood what I meant by cutting this hair.

But….

‘It’s just hair….’

I am sorry for ignoring the sincerity sent by you and your family.

Since the past cannot be undone, I will show my sincerity and apologize.

However, a being called the crown prince cannot carelessly apologize, so I will show repentance through actions rather than words.

With that intention, the ponytail reminiscent of a dead horse was cut off.

But if it’s just hair, it’s hair.

Still, how can you look more shocked than the story of falling off the horse, Sir Bertrand?

He’s a man you can’t really understand.

“What kind of being is the most perfect emperor in Sir Bertrand’s opinion?”

The leader of the knights looked at me while holding my cut hair with trembling hands so that the wind wouldn’t blow away his hair.

“… Would be a superman Like His Majesty the First Emperor.”

“I think the same way. But unfortunately, I won’t be able to become something like His Majesty the first emperor.”

If it was Priscilla who boasted a great performance enough to win that Oscar here, she would have said something magical, saying that it couldn’t be.

But the knight commander was always an upright man, so he didn’t deny my words even with empty words.

Someone worse than a witch….

“I have made many mistakes in the past, and I will make many mistakes in the future. I am not a superman.”

“That means….”

For the first time, the head of the knights had a strange look.

That was the look in my eyes that saw me as a savvy heir to the throne, not a troublesome b*tch.

“Unless you are a perfect superhuman, everyone makes mistakes. But I think the important thing is to learn something from mistakes.”

Knight Commander Bertrand.

You are born in a noble family, but you are a warrior.

That’s why you’re so easily fooled.

“Your Highness….”

He just cut off his hair and rolled his tongue a little, and he’s got tears in his eyes….

Idiot.

Look at witches and learn a little!

“If I were alone, I would make many mistakes in the future. It’s a vessel that needs someone to help. So Sir Bertrand.”

I need your sword.

“… Yes. Majesty.”

He used the most preferred line in a situation that the knight commander would most like.

I had to swear allegiance right away, but this cheeky man cleared his emotions with one deep breath.

Then he began to spit out dog-like words with a very fresh expression.

“Your Highness. Horseback riding is, after all, a human riding on a horse. The horse is important, of course, but in the end, the rider is the most important law.”

“Sir Bertrand?”

I think the words are a bit different from before, but….

“The first step to mastering good horsemanship. It is to hold a center that is unshakable in any situation. In other words, stamina is important.”

The knight commander neatly trimmed my hair and tucked it into his bosom, making an expression similar to the ‘training assistant’ I saw in the military in my previous life.

“Just trust me, Your Highness. I will guide you to become the best rider in the Empire.”

No, Sir Bertrand.

I don’t want that much, but….

“Bertrand offal,”

“Your Highness! First is the lower body!”

Ah, that’s right.

Something like that.

“Was it a failure from the first button….”

The first button was a failure, but there’s no way there’s a place for the last button.

‘Witch, yes two years… !’

This and that are all because of the witch.

I will be held accountable for this someday!

“Your Highness, you must breathe through your nose!”

“Heo-eok, hee-eok, hee-eok!”

Damn it!
