The knights liable for coaching the imperial officers are drafted from the capital’s order of knights.

Naturally, since they had been forcibly conscripted, these knights had no motivation by any means.

Dissatisfied officers and unmotivated knights.

They had been a match made in heaven, like bread and jam or chocolate and peanuts.

That is sometimes how navy coaching proceeded.

“Oh, Sir Randeon. Seeing you once more. You should be working exhausting right now.”

“Isn’t it Mr. Verios? Good to see you.”

“By the way in which, my again isn’t doing nicely right now, that is actually…”

“Oh pricey, a noble physique serving the Empire shouldn’t get damage in a spot like this. It might be a loss for the nation.”

A knight brings a makeshift mattress.

“Right here, please relaxation right here. Let’s simply say the coaching is finished.”

“How grateful I’m, that is my small token of appreciation for individuals who at all times safeguard the Empire.”

Then the official fingers over valuables like candies or costly spices to the knight.

The knight clears his throat and responds with the primary message saved in his macro— “Why, you shouldn’t have, however I’ll settle for it gratefully.”

The knight’s face beams with satisfaction as he examines the property. They only accomplished a passable deal.

That is how one can survive properly within the Empire.

*****

“Sir Randeon! Seeing you once more!”

“Cadet quantity 23, you shouldn’t communicate recklessly.”

“Are you in a foul temper right now? Right here, I’ve one thing which may cheer you up. It’s the foundation of the Huasang plant, only one chew will provide you with nice energy…”

“How dare you supply a bribe on this sacred coaching floor! Insolent! Take this cadet away instantly!”

“Sir Randeon, why are you appearing like this unexpectedly? Sir Randeon! Was our relationship not this shut?”

Verios was dragged away by the guards, trying extraordinarily wronged.

Till final time, this technique labored, so why now?

If he had a fault, it was not studying the patch notes diligently.

<Imperial Navy Coaching 12.1 Patch Notes>

The strategy of bribing the knights accountable for coaching was excessively efficient within the earlier model.

Nonetheless, on this patch, the third princess has joined as a particular teacher within the navy coaching.

After all, those that had been diligently coaching received’t be a lot affected, however cadets who relied on bribes will now face a ‘troublesome alternative.’

That’s proper.

Every time high-ranking people observe, even essentially the most chaotic streets are cleaned up in a day, and sloppy coaching turns into disciplined like a miracle.

Particularly for the vigorous knights, the third princess’ presence was like rain on a dry land.

‘Please see my glorious self, Princess Your Highness.’

‘My lifelong dream was at all times to be the Princess’s guard. This can be a once-in-a-lifetime alternative.’

‘Might there be an opportunity for a wedding past my standing?’

Knights, who would usually be bored stiff, now had faces filled with strictness, dignity, and seriousness.

Due to this, the cadets had been having a tough time.

In the event that they slacked off even a bit, they’d instantly be scolded harshly.

“Cadet quantity 17, maintain your sword correctly. Isn’t your posture a large number?”

‘Wow, I used to be severely cool simply now.’

Randeon glanced again.

The third princess of the Empire, Yulia Barba, was trying on the cadets with a benevolent gaze.

-Gulp.

Randeon swallowed exhausting.

The third princess was a recluse.

Though rumors of her magnificence had been widespread, it was extraordinarily uncommon to see her until at official occasions.

‘Seeing her in particular person, she’s a goddess.’

Like many younger males, Randeon’s thoughts started to run wild like a panorama.

Yulia, falling for Randeon’s spectacular look, begs him to be her guard, and Randeon reluctantly accepts the supply.

Sooner or later, Yulia’s life is threatened by an murderer, and Randeon sacrifices himself to guard her.

After that, they begin to turn into conscious of one another. A love story transcending standing begins from there—

“Sir. Have you learnt the place cadet quantity 27 is?”N/nêw n0vel chap/ers are revealed o/n n0v/e/(lb)i(n.)co/m

Randeon snapped out of his fantasy.

Yulia had approached him by then.

Suppressing his wildly beating coronary heart, Randeon checked the roster.

“Cadet quantity 27 must be on the west coaching floor by now. Might I ask why you’re searching for him?”

“I greet Her Highness, Princess Yulia.”

Yulia approached Ascal with a stern expression.

“So, how is it, ignoring your common duties to take part in coaching? Are you having fun with your self?”

Translation: Have been you planning to not see me for ten days?

Ascal tried to make an perception verify however failed miserably.

“Sure.”

Yulia’s eyebrow twitched.

“Ten push-ups.”

“…Pardon? Sure.”

Though Ascal puzzled why he was being out of the blue punished, ten push-ups had been nothing.

He received into place.

Immediately, he felt a weight on his again.

Yulia had sat on Ascal’s again.

“What are you ready for? Start.”

Ascal had no alternative however to begin doing push-ups. He might really feel a delicate sensation on his again. It was distracting.

“Add ten extra.”

However Yulia, in her irritated state, confirmed no mercy.

“Add ten extra.”

There was no leniency from Yulia, who was clearly upset.

Ascal collapsed to the bottom after barely finishing 100 push-ups.

Yulia appeared down at Ascal with a happy smile.

“Cadet quantity 27, is that every one you are able to do? It appears you want strict private steering.”

Yulia lifted the exhausted Ascal effortlessly.

And whispered in his ear.

“Final time, we went to the ocean, so how concerning the mountains this time?”

​****

​

Respiration within the recent mountain air, Ascal slowly began to regain his power.

“Your Highness, please put me down.”

“No.”

He couldn’t simply let her have her method. Ascal pulled out a scarf that had turn into an everyday merchandise in his pocket.

Whereas Yulia was centered on climbing the mountain, he tied her hair up with it.

“Put me down. Lia.”

“Since when… You’ve turn into fairly crafty.”

Lia obediently set Ascal down.

They’d reached the mountain peak.

“The air is sweet, isn’t it? After I felt stifled as a toddler, I used to come back up right here alone.”

“Certainly.”

The view from the mountain peak was breathtaking. It cleared Ascal’s thoughts, weary from work.

However Ascal’s expression grew unusual as he gazed at a selected rock.

“Is that this mountain referred to as Mount Iota, by any probability?”

“Sure, it’s.”

Ascal walked in direction of the rock. On its much less seen again aspect, there was certainly a deal with embedded.

‘After all, it’s Caliburn…’

The legendary sword, Lightbane. Just one acknowledged as a hero might pull it out.

Sooner or later, Sirius, pursued by the imperial military, would flee to this mountain and draw this sword.

With out considering, Ascal pulled on the deal with.

Swoosh—

The sword slid out effortlessly.

「Oh, after a whole lot of years, I see the sunshine once more. My title is Lightbane, and also you, my grasp, are――」

Ascal promptly reinserted the sword.

The sword fell silent.
