Chapter 44 – I’ll beat them

 

Celestia remembered that day four years ago very clearly.

 

At that time, she was eleven years old.
It had only been a year since she had received the blessing.

 

Unable to fight the monsters, she had been hiding in the basement with a few soldiers and maidservants while the royal capital was attacked by a horde of undead.

 

“… Otou-sama … Onii-sama …” (Celes)
“Don’t worry, Your Highness. His Majesty and His Highness are surely safe…”

 

She was aware that the voice of her maid who encouraged her was trembling.
The situation must not be good.

 

Her mother, the queen, had died when she was very young.
What if her father and brother didn’t come back?
Just imagining that future was causing her to shiver.

 

But the Grim Reaper’s scythe was the first to reap for the life of this young royalty.

 

The door to the basement was destroyed and what appeared was a fearsome chimera that was a fusion of several creatures.
In addition, the one who was controlling the chimera was an old man who claimed to be an executive of the Demon Lord’s Army.

 

Her escort soldiers were easily killed, and Celestia realized her death was coming closer.
No, it would be better if she was just killed.
It was an unbearable humiliation if after that she was transformed into undead and become a puppet of the enemy for all eternity.

 

Then, a boy appeared there.

 

“It, it’s dangerous here! Run away…!” (Celes)

 

At first, she thought he was just a normal child who had been lost and entered this place, so she shouted.
After all, she was eleven years old and he looked smaller than Celestia.

But he was completely unfazed by the chimera, on the contrary.

 

“Everything will be okay, I’ll beat them”

 

He declared it with full confidence.

 

There was no way he could do it.
It’s a common desire for heroism among boys of his age, but in the face of this reality, it can only lead to tragedy.

 

And what unfolded in the very front of the desperate Celestia was the exact opposite of what she expected.

 

The boy defeated the chimera and the necromancer with overwhelming strength.
She was standing there dumbfounded in front of such an unbelievable sight,

 

“Ah……” (Celes)

 

By the time she noticed, he was no longer in the basement.

 

“I couldn’t thank him … and ask his name…” (Celes)

 

She didn’t even know his name.
She didn’t know whether he lives in the capital or not.

 

Since then, Celestia has lived with regret about that day.

 

Why didn’t I thank him?
Why didn’t I even ask for his name?

 

At the training ground where the members of the knight order practiced hard.
As an instructor, I was teaching swords to all the Knights.

"Then, the next step is to swing the sword a thousand times. You won't improve just by swinging blindly. You need to imagine the opponent's movement."
""A, thousand times?""
"Kaizer-san. Are you sure you not making a mistake one digit?"
"Oh, right."
"Hoo~..."
"When I and Elsa were in the village, we used to swing 10,000 times a day, but, you guys won't be done until the day changes, will you?
""You misinterpret the word mistake on one digit, are you?""

The standard of my and Elsa's training was probably too high, and most of them couldn't follow even the light menu.

"Come on, you'd better hurry up or it's going to get dark."

I clapped my hands and urged them.
The knights began to swing their swords while screaming.
As the warming up, they were running ten times around the training ground with their armor on, few of them could swing their swords properly.

"Is Knight Commander Elsa doing this training from an early age..."
"I thought she was a genuine genius swordsman.....that's why she's so strong.. we didn't even reach half effort she did."
"Either Kaizer-dono or Knight Commander Elsa is outrageous..."

I saw the helpless knights and mumbled.

"Umm. Looks like our normal isn't everyone's normal.''
"I was surprised when I came to the royal capital, because the training of the Knights, which was known to be tough, was felt only in lukewarm water. The training I had done with chichiue was, to most people, out of the norm."

Elsa murmured next to me.

"I didn't mean to be particularly strict...."
"I think so, too"

The knights couldn't endure the training and exhausted. Then one by one, they fell like a broken doll.
But, one person among them――.

As the days and months passed by without a chance to see the boy again, the feeling did not fade but grew stronger.

 

(I never thought I’d be able to see him again like this…….)

 

Celestia glanced at the profile of the boy sitting next to her, her heart pounding with excitement.

He is now twelve years old, which means he has grown more than him four years ago, but he still looks young to her who is fifteen.
But she felt as if she had a reliable adult man by her side.

 

“…Celes-san?” (Ark)
“..!” (Celes)

 

She was staring at him too intensely.
With a flushed face, Celestia hurriedly stood up.

 

“Th, thank you for coming all the way today! Then, I’ll be back soon.” (Celes)
“Ah, yes” (Ark)

 

She wanted to talk more, but it was her limit for today.
Fortunately, She and the boy attended the same school and they’ll be able to meet again at any time.

 

Celestia hurriedly left the rendezvous, trying not to let anyone notice her reddened cheeks.

 

 

 

“His Highness Celestia!”

 

As she returned to the girls’ dormitory, she heard a voice calling her name.
When she turned around, a teacher from the academy came rushing towards her, looked somewhat flustered.

 

“What happened?” (Celes)
“Actually, there was a messenger from the royal palace earlier.”

 

Celestia wondered what’s going on.

 

“His Majesty the King wants you to return to the royal palace as soon as possible.”
“His Majesty do?” (Celes)
“Yes, the carriage has been prepared.”
“… looks like it’s a very urgent..” (Celes)

 

Until now, this had never happened.
It must be a very urgent matter.

 

Despite her anxiety, Celestia boarded the carriage that had been prepared.
It’s a royal carriage with the Crest of the Royal Family.

 

After dozens of minutes in the carriage,
She arrives at the royal palace, then Celestia headed for her father, the King.

 

“… Celes? I’m sorry …… for calling you all of a sudden…….”
“No problem. So what is the matter?” (Celes)

 

Cecilia akhirnya sampai di depan makhluk buas itu.

Perbedaan ukurannya begitu besar sehingga ia harus mendongak untuk melihat wajah binatang itu, dan Cecilia yang ramping akan terinjak-injak dalam sekejap.



"GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!"

"Aku ngerti...... aku ngerti kok, Julis ......"



Cecilia memeluk kaki depan yang besar dan kokoh itu.



"Itu pedih, kan? Itu menyiksa, kan? Aku yakin Julis berusaha ngelindungin seseorang terus menjadi kaya gini....... Beneran deh, Julis itu baik banget. Biarpun dia sangat menderita sendiri."



Makhluk buas itu mengarahkan kaki depannya yang lain ke Cecilia, mencoba menarik Cecilia yang memeluknya menjauh.

────lalu.



"Eh!?"

"I, ini......"



Kaki depan itu berhenti tepat pada waktunya.

Cecilia tidak terluka, dan kaki depan itu berhenti tanpa tanda perlawanan.

Namun penderitaan itu muncul dalam bentuk teriakan.



"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRR!!!"



Tetapi.



"Aku belum bisa balas budi sama Julis buat segalanya...... Julis selalu ngelindungi aku, tapi aku terus banyak ngerepotin Julis.────Cuma ini yang bisa aku lakuin buat Julis sekarang."



Cecilia menguatkan lengannya yang memeluk kaki depan itu.

Ia ingin kehangatannya dirasakan, ia ingin perasaannya tersampaikan.

Cecilia tersenyum lembut pada makhluk buas itu, mengatakan kepadanya bahwa tidak apa-apa sekarang, bahwa dia tidak perlu berusaha terlalu keras.



"Aku bakal ada di sisi Julis...... sepanjang waktu, sepanjang masa. Julis ngga cocok sama penampilan kaya gitu, tahu? Kalo kamu balik lagi ke Julis yang biasanya, yang konyol, yang bisa diandalin, sama yang lembut.────Aku bakal seneng banget."

Just as she had a bad feeling about her father’s stuttered, a voice interrupted her from the back.

 

“Aah! My beloved Princess Celestia! It’s been a long time!”
“…” (Celes)

 

Looking back, Celestia involuntarily distorted her face.

 

What she saw there was a middle-aged man who looked like an orc.

 

He was younger than he looked, in his mid-thirties.
He was not very tall, but he had a body that spread out horizontally.
The hair on his head was already thinning, probably due to his indolent lifestyle, he was sweating just by walking.

 

“Ah, Your Highness the Crown Prince…” (Celes)
“Hoho! You remembered me! I’m very happy!”

 

She can’t forget.
After all, he is the crown prince of the Hambarada Empire, a neighboring country of the Kingdom of Edelhide――.

 

“Even so, You’ve become more mature and beautiful! As your fiancée, I’m very proud of you!

 

――and Celestia’s fiancé.

 

“Wh, what brings you to here……?” (Celes)
“Actually! I decided to get married to you earlier, so I came all the way from Hambarada!”
“Eh……?” (Celes)
