Side Story 2!
■Sigurd of Chevalier’s Perspective
“Surround them! Don’t let them escape!”
A year has passed since I met Fafnir, and I was leading 20,000 soldiers to capture Dagラム Castle, one of the Norse Empire’s fortresses.
In just two years since the Dehauvalz Kingdom raised the flag of rebellion against the Empire, we had already seized the southern half of Brint Island. Now, we were advancing north with unstoppable momentum.
In the midst of all this…
“Ehehe! There’s no way anyone can stop my sword!”
“Guaah!?”
The first to break into Dagラム Castle was that girl from that day(・・)… Fafnir, who was now my right hand.
“Haha, I can’t lose either!”
I mowed down the soldiers blocking my path and burst through the castle gate that Fafnir had opened, defeating the soldiers inside one after another.
“Sig!”
“Fal!”
Fal, who had ridden up from the castle walls on horseback, clashed gauntlets with me.
We had been calling each other by nicknames since we became partners(・・) half a year ago.
“How was it? Was I helpful to you, Sig?”
“Of course. You’re still amazing as ever.”
“Ah… ehehe…”
I ruffled Fal’s platinum blonde hair a bit roughly, and she smiled happily.
Ever since I stroked her head during our first meeting, she had taken a liking to it and started asking for it every chance she got.
Well, I also liked seeing Fal like that, so I would stroke her head like this.
And then.
“Dagラム Castle has been conquered by Sigurd of Chevalier!”
“Ooooooooooooooh!”
After three days of fighting, we finally succeeded in capturing Dagラム Castle, one of the Norse Empire’s key strongholds.
From here on out, the invasion would likely proceed smoothly.
“Sig, we did it!”
“Yeah. We’ll drive the Norse guys into a corner and make us Dehauvalz the rulers of Brint Island. And… we’ll make those guys who treated you so badly pay for what they did.”
“Yeah…”
Fal’s crimson eyes welled up with tears, and she pressed her cheek against my chest.
I embraced her small body and swore victory to the fluttering flag.
◇
“When I think about it, she’s a strange one…”
“Snore… snore…”
I gazed at Fal, who was sleeping soundly in my arms, and muttered to myself.
She was wary of me when we first met, but after only a month, she had become completely attached to me.
I tried to stop her from joining the army because it was dangerous, but unfortunately, Fal wouldn’t listen.
On the contrary, she took up a sword, saying it would be useful in battle, and quickly defeated the soldiers.
Having shown her strength, I couldn’t refuse her anymore, so I decided to take her with me.
However.
“…To think that I would fall so deeply in love with Fal…”
I ran my fingers through Fal’s platinum blonde hair and gave a wry smile.
I had always been absorbed in swordsmanship and thought I was immune to romance, so I found it strange, but I didn’t dislike it.
(If we defeat the Norse guys, will her wounds heal a little…?)
On Fal’s back, there was a brand that seemed to have been put there by the Norse Empire.
Probably to show that she, as a slave, was their property.
Every time I saw Fal’s back, I felt like I would go crazy with anger.
I would unleash that anger on the Norse guys in battle.
“But it’s only a little longer.”
The Dehauvalz army made Dagラム Castle their frontline base, and next, they would finally begin the attack on the Norse Empire’s largest fortress, Stangrad Castle.
Yes… if we won the next battle, the Dehauvalz Kingdom would be able to unify Brint Island.
At that time, I intended to get one authority from Sowerin as a contributor to the unification of Brint Island.
–The authority to brand all the Norse guys who tormented Fal in the same way.
“Nn…”
Fal, who seemed to have woken up, rubbed her eyes and peered into my face.
As expected, my partner(・・)… my beloved woman(ひと) was irresistibly cute.
“Ehehe… it’s so nice to open my eyes and see the face of the person I love.”
“Haha, is that so?”
“But, I’m embarrassed, so don’t look at my face too much.”
“I refuse. I want to look at the face of the woman I love forever.”
“Jeez…”
Fal pouted, but soon her face broke into a smile and she snuggled against my chest.
I hugged my beloved her and sought her greedily.
