118 118. Two Knights




 The time goes back to before Remyll received the report.
 After one of the two Swordsmen - Dilo Clover - broke through the fortress controlled by the kingdom, he used the nearby area as a base for a diversion.
 The three Swordsmen are gathered under Alta Schweizer.
 Dillo's role was to disperse the forces of the kingdom, and it can be said that he has done so.
 A knight looked down at Dillo, who was lying on the ground and sinking into a sea of his own blood.

"So this is the Swordsmen. Well, they certainly look the part.

 I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's worth it.
 Shaking off the blood that has stuck to his sword, Wendell puts it away.
 The traces of battle remain all around. The sword blows that were carved here and there were all left by a man named Dillo.
 Wembel swung only a few blows.
 Only a few strikes were necessary to slay Dillo.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! That was quite a showy fight!

 Another knight arrives before Wennberg.
 The uniforms they wore were different from each other - no wonder, since they belonged to different orders.
 The one who comes in is a muscular man with his hair brushed back.
 His uniform was torn and soaked with blood, as if he had just fought.
 Goz Dancris, the man who, like Wembel, had defeated the Swordsmen.

"Well, since you're here, ...... did you already kill the other one?

 Wembel knew this, and asked.
 Gosu replied with a smirk.

"Ha, of course. Well, it was a good way to pass the time.
It's a good thing that the Red Tiger Knights have the strongest name in the world. It's a lot of power for an upstart.
Hahahaha, right? Unlike the other districts, there are fights every day in Graphiline. ....... Unlike the other districts, Graffeline has a lot of fights every day, so it can't be as polite as your place in Barlight.
"Hmm, yes. Many people are well-behaved. Many people are well-behaved. I am well-behaved when it comes to swordplay.
I can see that! You don't seem to be hurt at all, do you?
I don't do what I don't have to do, that's what I believe. Huh, so you're-- you're a little banged up, aren't you?
Of course I am. A man should be able to fight, right? There's no fun in a one-sided fight.
That's not my style. Beautiful and overwhelming, that's my style of fighting.
Is that what you enjoy? I don't get it.
It's fun. If you want, you can try it.

 Wembel says provocatively and holds up.
 As if in response, Gozu smirked.
 They were about to start slashing at each other.

"As much as I'd like to. I'm not a beast like them. That's why I'm a knight. Aren't you?
"...... Not a beast, huh? You're right. Killing each other isn't a hobby it's a job as a knight. And it's not a power we should wield now. We're on the same side.

 Wembel replied and relaxed his stance.
 They already know each other - and they're working together.
 It's not a personal relationship, but a larger ...... organizational connection.
 They are knights of the same country, but their paths are different.

If we're going to fight, it's going to be Alta Schweiz before you. The Kuro Wolf Knights have made their position clear in support of Iris Reinfell.
"Alta and Iris. I'm not sure what to make of that. I've seen her at a sword fight before. I've seen her at a sword fighting tournament before. I can understand why you would support her. In fact, there are a lot of nobles who support that girl, right?
"A lot. But that's only because many of them think she's going to follow the path of the king ...... and are trying to follow her. If the rumors are true, she will never be king.
The rumor is that she wants to be a knight? Ha, that's a pretty dream.
If she wasn't in that position, I'd be rooting for her. Unfortunately--she shouldn't have wanted that position. If she wasn't in such a position, I would have supported her, but unfortunately - she shouldn't have wanted the position. ...... She has the right to be a king even though she doesn't intend to be one, and she's just a hindrance to us.

 Therefore, the two orders have colluded.
So the two orders colluded, just as the Guardian Order, which protects the heart of the kingdom, supported Zeir Tiroque, the son of the current king.
They, in turn, support the would-be king.
Iris, in other words, is nothing but a political enemy for the two orders.



"It's silly to fight over something like that, but I have my work cut out for me. Now we've shown our strength, haven't we?
"Yeah, that's right. The Kuro Wolf Knights have Alta Schweizer, who can defeat the Swordsmen single-handedly, a fact that will lower our morale. It was time for us to finally show that we had the power.

 The fact that there are two people as powerful as Alta who are in cahoots with each other will never become public knowledge.
 The fact that there are two people who are as powerful as Alta colluding with each other will never become public knowledge, but it will spread as rumors. The nobles who support Iris will also hear about it.

"What we want is not conflict, but true peace. We want true peace, not conflict. ...... is here for the peace of this country.
"Ha, peace. I hope it comes.

 I'll do what I have to do as a knight--that's why they collude.
 However, they both understood that in order to obtain true peace, as they said, conflict was necessary.
