Chapter 105
“-It’s surprising that the 8th Prince no the leader of the 1st Knights was the ‘white lion’…”
A new driver who joined this year blinked as he learned a new fact.
As if I never dreamed that a royal family member would be in the Knights’ Order…
Then the person who appeared to be a senior knight shook his head saying that he understood how he felt.
“Most of the newbies were surprised… But it’s not uncommon… There are many royals who join the knights without knowing… Especially the 1st Knights…”
“···royalist·”
“That’s right in the case of the 1st Knights it is a place where royalist nobles gather so in order to lead them you have to be a royal or a high-ranking noble… So it is said that important positions in the 1st Knights are held by royals for generations… Although it is rare for a royal to rise to the rank of leader… ”
“It looks like your skills are very good…”
“Why do you want to compete?”
“···At least once…”
“Ahaha! To be honest…”
The senior knight burst into laughter at the remark of his successor who showed his bold spirit of wanting to join the royal family.
I wasn’t laughing at the courage of my successor…
On the contrary burning with a desire to win was a commendable matter…
also·
‘The courage of a talented person can be said not to be courageous but to show confidence… This guy is fully qualified…’
As far as he knew the person who could be said to be the most talented among the new recruits this year was the next driver in front of me.
He never neglects his training even for a single day and even in the 3rd Order of Knights it has been said that except for a few he does not have the talent to deal with him. He spars every day so would you believe it if the senior knights were in a hurry to avoid him?
‘When that guy was there it was noisy because of sparring or sparring but after he left a replacement came out just like him…’
Looking at things like this it is true that different types of things appear constantly…
···Of course it would be rare for something as special as ‘that guy’ to come out…
Anyway the other senior knights seemed to feel burdened by this energetic newcomer but he tended to cheer them on.
He tended to believe that a knight should be that harsh.
…but unfortunately…
“Unfortunately they won’t deal with you there…”
“Why?”
“Anyway the 1st Knights will not deal with the 3rd Knights…”
The senior knight had to tell us that sometimes reality is a cruel law and things don’t always go your way.
“Umm…”
The successor swallowed his voice at his predecessor’s words.
3rd Knights of the Silver Lion·
Unlike the 1st and 2nd Knights which are made up of high-ranking nobles the Knights are made up of many lower-ranking nobles or fallen nobles.
Perhaps because of this the 3rd Knights were treated with contempt within the Order so they were ignored.
After recalling this the successor driver clearly looked dissatisfied.
“Sigh… The more I experience this knighthood the more I become discouraged… Of course I know that politics is inevitable in the palace but I didn’t know it would be this severe… In the past I thought I could easily get to vice-captain if I just had the skills…”
“Arrogant do you think it’s easy to become vice-captain here? And don’t be so harsh… It hasn’t even been half a year since you joined.”
“···I respect you again… seeing that you are clean even in a place like this…”
Although he seemed to be flattering his words were sincere.
As far as he knew there were two clean people in the Knights Templar who had nothing to do with politics and one of them was senior.
After being a royal knight I realized how difficult it was to do something like that which gave me respect.
Because it cannot be anything other than an example of a knight…
“Arthur you have to respect those who respect you… I’m not particularly clean… I just do my knightly work while compromising appropriately…”
Jake Farman the senior knight who received a look of respect shook his head telling his successor Yord not to think too highly of him.
“I am simply a descendant of a family of knights who have fallen to the point where I cannot even participate in politics… and more than anything I have made the wrong friends and am looked upon by my superiors so I have already given up on career advancement…”
“···uhhh·”
“Don’t look at me so pitifully… But my skills have improved because I didn’t invest time in useless things…”
“…Definitely sparring with senior Jake is always fun…”
“I’m always shaking…”
Jake smiled bitterly.
‘If only his status had been a little higher he would have risen quickly…’
Jake felt sorry for Yord’s skills…
It was clear that he was the most talented among the new recruits but unfortunately he was undervalued because he was part of the 3rd Knights…
Jake was feeling regretful wondering if it would have been better if the junior he liked for a long time had flown a little higher.
‘A guy like this should be a guy who represents the Silver Lion…’
Young knights each representing a prestigious knight order.
Knights such as Tristan’s Sir Veil and Lionel’s Sir Maximus were representatives of young knights.
Like this the person who represents the Royal Knights is none other than the 8th Prince but Jake observed the 8th Prince’s skills which he had seen from afar in the past and only evaluated him as ‘a decent talent’ but did not think that he was ‘amazing’ at all.
Don’t misunderstand…
There was no prejudice because of the royal family.
I’m just saying what I really feel…
‘Representing the Knights means having to show [overwhelming ability]…’
Those who were simply talented were widespread among the knights.
Therefore if you want to represent the Knights it is right to show overwhelming performance or ability that surpasses the widespread talent.
However the 1st Knight Commander he saw…
The skills of the man commonly known as the ‘White Lion of Pendragon’ were far from overwhelming and Jake couldn’t help but make a few profane guesses.
‘···Maybe the royal family is trying to make up for the lack of legitimacy?’
Current royal family
So the current king lacks legitimacy…
You may say that the royal family lacks legitimacy but everyone would probably agree with this opinion.
‘The problem is that my brother is too great…’
Unfortunately the great king who was called the king of war was not blessed with children.
He had two children but the first son had a chronic illness and did not live long and the second son had great royal talent but was chosen by the Demon Sword and named Galahad.
Because of this the previous king passed away without giving birth to a suitable successor and in the end the one who succeeded him was the only ‘younger brother’ of the king.
Fortunately the throne was inherited by a prince trusted by the military but it is said that this caused a lot of controversy within the company.
‘It’s not that the current king is incompetent but…’
It is arrogant and even impious for a knight to try to measure the king’s ability but in this situation not only Jake but everyone has probably measured the king’s ability at least once…
Is the current king truly suitable to succeed the king?
And because the object of comparison was so large the King’s abilities did not meet people’s expectations and as a reaction the King often made ‘mistakes’ which led to many disasters…
Therefore the current royal family has less power and justification than ever before.
At least since an outstanding successor named Princess Isis had appeared I was looking forward to the next generation…
As the current king has not yet made a proper decision it is only in the future that the princess will inherit the throne.
Anyway in this situation the royal family is making various attempts to build up its cause and raise its authority even if only by force.
Jake’s guess was that the reason why the 8th Prince was the first member of the royal family to become a Knight Commander or to be regarded as a promising figure may be due to the circumstances of the royal family.
So in reality…
‘The knight worthy of the name of the Silver Lion or the Pendragon is not the 8th Prince…’
It’s not even Yorde right now…
There’s definitely potential but it’s not ripe yet…
So the best article that Jake comes to mind is…
‘··· He may say he doesn’t need fame but he’s the only thing he can think of…’
As soon as he joined he sent all his senior knights to the temple bed and continued to spar with Lord Baltar for over three years but he is the only knight who did not become crippled.
Recently I even hear people call me a hero of the academy…!
‘Yes he has to be like that to represent Pendragon-·’
“-uh? “What are you doing here?”
“···?”
“It’s been a while…”
“This Lee Han…?”
···Why is that guy here?
Jake blinked perhaps embarrassed by the sudden appearance of the friend he had been thinking about a moment ago.
It was nice to meet you…
As he said it’s been a while since we’ve seen each other…
However unlike the welcome…
“I… senior…”
“huh? “Who was it?”
“This is Yord Decker… Why… I had a sword fight with you before you transferred out…”
“···ah! “You were a pretty good guy back then. It’s been a while.”
“Thank you for remembering me but that is…”
Yorde showed a similar reaction to Jake and was embarrassed.
Even though it’s a meeting with a senior I definitely want to meet I can’t bear to welcome it…
That’s right…
“What is that?”
It must be difficult to remain calm while checking on Lee Han who is dragging a man by the back of his neck…
Lee Han scratches the back of his head when asked about a friend and junior he hasn’t seen in a long time…
“Why don’t you just pretend you didn’t see it?”
“····”
“I think you’ll get in trouble if you interfere for no reason…”
“····”
“Keuhum…”
“···Crazy guy·”
Jake decided to correct his thoughts…
That guy is just a disaster…
* * *
···It seems like he’s making excuses but he also feels unfair…
“He suddenly attacks like a crazy person so am I going to just get hit?”
It’s the fault of the person who started a fight with a guy walking calmly on the street. Where’s the fault of the person who responded to it?
Lee Han was just spreading the logic of power as applied to the Middle Ages and he thought it must be a valid logic.
but·
“Yes I understand the reason but why does it have to be royal!”
“····”
“Do you think that kind of logic would work for the royal family?”
“···Keuung·”
Yes you want to push ahead with the logic of power but the other party has too much power.
After all he is a member of the royal family and since he attacked such a member of the royal family he is bound to be at a disadvantage…
Probably if the prince wakes up and says that he has been beaten half the white and silver lions will become his enemies and he will be the one who will kill only himself even if he is pushed to trial.
···hani·
Puuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuc!
“···Seniors is it really okay to do this?”
“Don’t ask me ask the guy who caused the accident!”
“···Senior Lee Han?”
Yord looked at Lee Han with suspicion and he…
“It’s okay I take responsibility… -bury it…”
“····”
Jord Decker·
He was dumbfounded saying he had no idea he would become a knight climb a mountain and dig such a big hole.
And then questions arise again…
···I wonder if this is really true·
“This is a crime…”
“Ha if my father finds out about this he’ll try to kill me.”
Yorde mumbled and Jake grabbed his head blaming him for having the wrong friend.
However Lee Han silently dug the ground and as the three knights dug the soil a huge hole was dug in an instant.
“What is there in human life? When we die we all return to the ground… For this guy that day just came a little sooner…”
“····”
“Remember junior if you are going to cause an accident you must do it thoroughly.”
“…That’s a lesson I don’t really want to learn…”
The absurdity of a junior knight’s remark…
However Lee Han shamelessly decided to go out.
‘This guy’s answer is what he asks…’
Missing…
It cannot be anything but a means of a lesser evil rather than the worst.
Anyway don’t worry…
Do we really have to kill him like we jokingly said to Yord?
‘Threats usually only work if they are extreme…’
If you starve for a week except for your face they will cooperate(?) obediently.
Perhaps because Jake knows this he cooperates with him.
“Now let’s send it…”
flinch!
“···?”
“····”
“···hmm·”
···Lee Han suddenly felt a presence and hit the silver-haired man with a shovel and the man…
flinch!!
···He shook his body greatly·
Confirming this…
“Hey have you come to your senses?”
“····”
“···Do you want to open your mouth after you’re buried?”
“···Gulp·”
“Give me 3 seconds 321…”
“… I’ll give you a chance… If you apologize now I’ll keep everything quiet…”
“····”
“It’s a special opportunity… If it’s now…”
“Can I just take off the arms and legs first? “It would be useless anyway…”
“—Inooooom! How dare you know about me Aren de Pendragon! “Do you think I would give in to threats like that?”
“····”
“Kill! “There is no reason to live while being humiliated like this!!”
“····”
“hurry···!”
“···oh·”
Lee Han was impressed·
What about his spirited attitude?
no·
should·
“···I didn’t even see you kneel. When did you kneel?”
He was kneeling so fast that even his own eyes couldn’t catch up with him and Lee Han gave him an appreciative look.
As expected the royal family who survived the conspiracies…
‘I don’t have any sense but my survival instinct is overflowing…’
If he rebelled he really meant to cut off one of his limbs.
He often said something serious mixed with a joke.
