Chapter
DZN Ch 12
They had been similar in height and build when they first met. In fact, Ruan had been stronger, even throwing Calix into a pond once. But in the intervening six years, both height and build had changed dramatically. Their natural physique and frame were completely different now. There was no way Ruan could throw him anymore. He'd be the one flying instead. By the neck, or perhaps bodily. Just Calix standing before him exuded a subtle pressure, his size engulfing the space. Ruan braced himself…-

DZN Ch 11
"Stop talking nonsense. This is an order from higher up. There's no right of refusal. Not for me, not for you." "But..." Finn stamped his foot and whined in protest. Ruan held up a hand as if to tell him to stop. Finn pouted, lowered his head, and shook his body like a petulant child. "Don't worry, nothing like last year will happen again. Just keep your mouth shut. And if something like that does happen, report it to me immediately." "But the Captain doesn't listen to you." Come to think…-

DZN Ch 10
"...Temperament isn't easily fixed. I'm the spitting image of my father, so I should blame him." At those words, Nox, recalling Ruan's father, who was even more stubborn than Ruan himself, smiled faintly. "My father says the same thing sometimes. You only took after your mother in appearance; otherwise, you're a miniature of Uncle Heinrich. Personality and skill, both." "Wouldn't I be more skilled?" As Ruan crossed his arms, confidently asserting his superiority with the bow and longsword, Nox…-

DZN Ch 9
"He's not someone who's easily swayed by others, in any sense, so you don't have to worry about that. I may not particularly like him, but I'm certain about that much." Matthias stared at Ruan for a moment, then nodded in agreement. "Alright. If you say so, then it must be true. You know him best." After all, Ruan was the one who had to escort Calix personally, and he was also the best at handling him. Matthias seemed to give Ruan full authority over the matter, as if to say it was his…-

DZN Ch 8
"What now? Why?" Ruan spoke rather harshly, annoyed by the appearance of someone he didn't particularly want to see right now. Alfred, quickly approaching, delivered his message: "The Captain is looking for you." "....Now?" "Yes." "Why?" "I don't know, but he said he has something urgent to discuss." Being called upon while still hungry, and at such an early hour, was bothersome, but he couldn't refuse a summons from the Captain. Matthias wasn't the type to needlessly order people…-

DZN Ch 7
✨⋆⁺₊✧ "Your father would have done the same if he saw you now." As the comforting hand withdrew, Ruan murmured, "It's strange, isn't it? As time passes, my father's and mother's faces are fading, but I clearly remember the way my father looked at my mother." The deep, affectionate, and slightly melancholic gaze of a man in love remained strangely vivid. It was poignant. It was strange, and sad, that as his memories of his father, even his face, gradually faded, he only…-

DZN Ch 6
✨⋆⁺₊✧ "Lieutenant Campbell, what brings you here?" Ruan, unable to sleep, had left the barracks and climbed the outer wall of the Royal Palace. He responded playfully to the familiar knight's question, "Oh, I just transferred." Ruan's outburst upon joining the Royal Guard, demanding to be sent to the outer wall because he hadn't joined to be stuck in the Second Knights Division, was infamous. Everyone in the Royal Guard knew about it. While the Second Knights Division was now…-

DZN Ch 5
Seeing his chance, Ruan blatantly requested a transfer. Matthias, as if expecting this, looked up at him. "I called you in about that. You submitted another transfer request?" Having heard that Ruan had submitted his tenth transfer request since officially joining the Royal Guard five years ago, Matthias stared at him with an expression that said, "You still haven't given up?" At this point, Ruan should have realized he wouldn't be leaving the Second Knights Division before he died, but he was…-

"If you have nothing else to say, shouldn't you be going?" Ruan asked with a sarcastic tone, adding, "I need to see the Captain," prompting the other knight to quickly speak up. "Um, about today's incident, to the Captain..." "Not yet. If I report every single one of these incidents, there won't be any knights left in our division." The Second Knights Division, responsible for the Crown Prince's protection, was particularly notorious for its focus on appearances, due to Calix's obsession with…-
