Hello, this is Harold.
Today, I have some sad news for everyone.
Somehow, my Special Training has increased fivefold. I’m going to die.
No, I understand that Sandra is doing this for my sake, but I have my limits, and I understand from my previous life’s knowledge that overwork is never a good thing.
So, you know?
“M-maybe… today’s Special Training should be… enough…?”
“Absolutely not.”
Yes. Sandra flatly rejected me. Damn it.
“Lord Hal’s physical abilities have already been trained to their limit, but there are still many areas to improve, such as predicting enemy attacks and finding the optimal movements based on those predictions. In fact, Lord Hal has extraordinary talent in areas other than physical ability.”
“R-really?”
…What am I so happy about?
I always get carried away with that and end up repeating hellish Special Training…
“Besides… I absolutely couldn’t bear it if anything were to happen to Lord Hal.”
Yes. I tried to persuade her with courage, but I decided to give up after that one line.
Besides, Sandra’s sad expression is unfair. I can’t possibly refuse.
“W-well, leave it to me! I’ll complete any Special Training!”
“Oh! That’s just like Lord Hal!”
The moment I pounded my chest and appealed as strongly as possible, Sandra gave me a smile that bloomed like a flower. Damn, she’s the best.
“Nyahaha… Hal is still weak against Sandra as ever…”
Caz, what are you saying that’s so obvious?
It’s only natural that I can’t beat Sandra.
While I was glaring at Caz, who was smiling wryly in amazement.
“Prince Harold. His Majesty the King has instructed you to come to the throne room immediately.”
Monica, who had come to the Training Grounds, bowed respectfully and announced.
Ehh… I have a bad feeling about this.
“Monica, what’s… the matter?”
“The Chamberlain didn’t say anything, but I suspect it’s about Prince Cardis.”
“Ah…”
Cardis accepted Wilfred into his faction because King Aival asked him to.
So, he’s definitely going to say something to me for opposing that and deciding to leave. In fact, I criticized what King Aival did.
“…Lord Hal. If His Majesty the King makes any unreasonable demands or unfair dispositions against you, please be sure to tell me. In that case, the Duke Chevalier family will protest to His Majesty.”
“Eh!? N-no, it’s okay!”
I hurriedly stopped Sandra, who was saying that with a sullen expression.
If she did that, regardless of the cause or reason, that event would happen before the Engage Hazard main story even started, and Sandra would be executed at worst.
“Hmph… If Lord Hal says so, then I have no choice.”
Although not convinced, Sandra accepted with a pout.
Haa… I realized this for the first time after regaining my memories from my previous life, but Sandra is surprisingly fierce and belligerent. I have to be careful.
“W-well, I’ll be back as soon as I’ve had an audience with His Majesty, so please relax in my room until then.”
“…Yes.”
So, I changed my clothes, tidied myself up, and headed to the throne room where King Aival was waiting.
◇
“I have summoned you for a reason. A Delegation from the Barthian Holy Kingdom will be dispatched to our country.”
While kneeling and bowing before King Aival, I breathed a sigh of relief in my heart.
I thought I was going to be scolded about the faction issue, but it seems like it’s a completely different matter.
But, the Barthian Holy Kingdom…
Religion exists in this world of Engage Hazard, and the Barthian Holy Kingdom oversees all the churches around the world.
In the Engage Hazard main story, two heroines from the Barthian Holy Kingdom are studying as exchange students at the Royal Academy, which is the main stage of the story.
The Saint, Christia Salerno, and her attendant, the Holy Knight, Carla Delminio.
Christia, in a word, is worthy of being called a Saint, with shining golden hair, emerald eyes, and slightly drooping eyes.
Her personality is also very devoted and full of love, but because she is too laid-back, her conversations with the protagonist and other heroines often don’t mesh.
…However, there is a hidden side to all of that.
As for Carla, she is a so-called ‘Kukkoro-kei’ heroine.
Her long indigo hair was tied up like a shrine maiden’s hanging hair, and her indigo eyes held a strong will.
Above all, there is an event where she is captured by the enemy, and at that time, the obligatory line ‘Kuh! Kill me!’ and the scene where her important parts are exposed to the very limit were impressive…
Oops, this is not the time to be thinking about unnecessary things.
I have to concentrate on what King Aival is saying.
“Then, were we called here to act as hosts for the Delegation from the Holy Kingdom?”
“Yes. I’m glad you’re quick to understand.”
King Aival nodded in satisfaction at Cardis’ question.
It seems that’s the case, but then it doesn’t seem to have anything to do with me.
He wouldn’t expose the kingdom’s shame to other countries.
If I think about it normally, it seems like it would settle down with Cardis or Raphael acting as hosts… but, wait? Then, why were Wilfred and I called to this place?
“Originally, I would ask Cardis or Raphael, but this time it is only for goodwill, and the kingdom is not considering holding any special ceremonies. Therefore…”
…I have a bad feeling about this.
Moreover, King Aival is looking at me a lot. I’m definitely not going to make eye contact.
“…This time, I will entrust Wilfred with hosting the Delegation.”
