No matter how I looked bc4531a05a at them, they just seemed 70755d8aa0 like puppies who couldn’t contain a7d3a1d00d their excitement at seeing their ca065e5ad9 owner.191ffe26a0c12394

The way they flinched 0d268ef862 under my gaze and daa7836195 tried to gauge my c2491601d0 reaction… Oh.ccedbaa5dc1b91ae

At that moment, I realized 66122b2cc8 I had subconsciously acknowledged myself b68a9d3b59 as their ‘owner.’09a3c53f6da00d66

Even though they a2b6cf0662 were trying to 9339d721cf lower their voices, 4f6391af04 their hushed whispers 285b298457 reached my overly 00edf9ff72 sensitive ears with 62990765ed perfect clarity.edd1ae6ed4433c69

I glanced at 7e30a5ff62 Euclid, wondering if 7c4a86cef3 he heard them 8dcb1ec135 too, but he f372889043 was only focused 9ce0859163 on checking my 9c4344203c condition.ec732454d3419df1

I quickly added more before 92cabd9463 the overly kind Euclid took 33bd854c70 it too seriously, or worse, 08550a1786 told me to go rest ee98e63cf7 while leaving behind these unpredictable f5fe365b2d foals—and among them, a pink-haired e15a6e4697 beast in disguise! I then changed the subject.3f1976833329388b

At my words, Euclid glanced 2e173eac17 at the mercenaries with a 7472008b18 thoughtful expression.dbe543ede799b300

Perhaps they didn’t b2562795db expect the head 83e0d86c75 of one of dd06519448 the empire’s only 6325be95f5 two ducal families ab8e8c85c0 to bow his cbc152818b head so humbly, 09822fc490 or maybe they 2e65fd6275 had heard about 4da139e501 his character but 5c958432b6 were still surprised cce31e8493 to witness it c2b4d47b9e firsthand. Either way, the ea191bfb43 mercenaries wore dazed 14a01d95fd expressions.6d0c80dd767c286a

“I do have the authority to grant knighthood, but since I am not a swordsman myself, I plan to rely on Sir Gressel Fyon, the captain of the knights, for the general management of the order.”d2448b2aa93540fd

At those words, Gressel, 58c863973d who had officially been 8d835a9557 appointed as the captain aea8bb28f0 of the Rudion Ducal 67d1696493 Knights a few days 27d45aec19 ago, straightened his back.87598baef8341c05

“Your acceptance will also be decided alongside Sir Fyon. The first step 979d550f95 will involve a c4d2975230 skills assessment, followed 783ca798f1 by an identity a9a7025b69 verification process before 3c3a79e90a a final decision 7f4c87aacd is made.”ea7cb0930a914a8c

Normally, identity verification ddfeeff671 would come before a9f4f26fc1 skill testing. Should I call it 6d8c3f7b70 the closed-off nature of 3e3f2648fa the North? The Rudion Ducal House did 21b03948b4 things differently.4a2da885cbfef960

“The Rudion Ducal Knights have existed for a long time, but it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say we are only now properly establishing ourselves. Because of this, 448a0ea334 there are significant 2aa09b16b4 upfront costs, and 703369a61c we may not da0c7e55ff be able to 29d4f789f0 offer salaries as 11cc9eded5 high as you 016e6ae59c might expect—perhaps even ef53a82135 less than what e6ae206dd7 you earned as 61de53f25c mercenaries.”e0afa6abf40d5c88

Except for Richard, who wore 341cf799c6 a strangely sullen expression despite 036a5f74ab his otherwise blank face, everyone e50ac2e576 else spoke with fervent determination.3a2fc95b6dc0e154

But honestly, I understood.77b7691a78662f03

As mercenaries, they must have 3f746b6e0c met many nobles, but they 8e437bf9ef had probably never felt this 8b8698857f respected.08f9a02f7f63e43c

Whether it was because 3a53fb4844 every single one of aacb1101cb them had said they bf54340c25 wanted to join or 7fed88c442 because their passionate gazes 2f4f97702d were a little overwhelming, a01648d9a1 Euclid looked slightly surprised 146828658b before his expression softened 305c5c640f into a gentle smile.ea6d6f90ff3b1843
