♛22 . The Most Heretical Princess’ Retaliation....Something unbelievable just happened. The Knight’s Captain Roderick is staring dumbfoundedly at the current situation. There’s a lot of recruits that are severely injured, they’re trapped and with nowhere else to run. They don’t have any proper supplies and even the little amount that they have is about to be used up by them, Though the special corps will soon arrive but since they’re prioritizing speed there’s not a lot of them and even if they can help run some of the new recruits it would still be hard. He even thought to himself that he should prioritize the lives of the newly recruited knights and in a worst case scenario...he has to use himself as a sacrifice to divert the enemies attention at the newly recruited knights. That’s what he thought... “Captain!! The reloading of the ammunition is complete!!” “We’re also done doing first-aid to the wounded knights!! Is it okay for me to go over and help in resupplying the bandages?!” “The bleeding has already stopped…! I will immediately go back to the battlefield!!” “Oi! There’s some weapons that has just been supplied!! Someone, go and get it!!” From a poorly built shield that we were using to protect ourselves from this storm of bullets, the amount of the severely injured knights and the little bits of retaliation that we can only do...right now, those overwhelming problems we were facing before is continuously being solved along with a seemingly endless supply of medical supplies. At first the newly recruits were overwhelmed with the sudden happenings but after explaining it to them that it was a relief measure done by the royalty, the despair that they were wallowing just a few minutes ago seems like a lie right now. The first prince, Style. They say that an important requisite to be adopted or chosen as the first prince of the country, is to have an exceptional special ability. But to think that his special ability happens to be teleportation. There’s a variation of special abilities depending on a person and depending on how a person uses it, it can turn into something extremely dreadful. There’s only a few people who know the special ability of the first prince. Even me, the head of the Knight’s Order of the country doesn’t know anything about it until today. But it’s not like there is any rule or need to conceal it. In the past there used to be some prince who flaunts his special ability in public and there are also who kept their ability in secret until their last breath. And there’s the first prince Stayle who is famous, even outside the castle grounds, for being a man of great sagacity. I’ve also heard that he has great relations within the people from the castle ground and that he has already established great connections among higher ranking personnel. But no one seems to know anything about his special ability. There are also rumors that the first princess Pryde forbids anyone from spreading about it and when someone tries to confirm those rumors, he will always make sure to smile refreshingly at them, deny it and tell them, “However as long as the First Princess, Pryde wishes for it I am more than willing to show it to everyone.” I, along with the other people from the castle thought that it might be some palace rites but in contrast to that Pryde-sama will just simply say that “As long as you want to show it to everyone then I will not mind it.” and then he’ll simply say “What my older sister means is that there’s no need for her permission and that I can use it whenever I want to do so.” Of course, everyone can see that there is a huge trust and loyalty that he has for Pryde-sama. It’s been three years since he became a member of the royal family but rather than displaying it for everyone to see, it became obvious that he has no desire of doing it. … ...What a fearsome upper hand that they were hiding. But for Roderick, he’s more at awe at Pryde rather than at Stayle. ...Surely it isn’t just me who feels like this, but the same goes for the attendants and the conscripted knights as well as the people with Vice-Captain Clark and the other knights as well. The first princess, Pryde-sama...never showed off the special ability that the Stayle, the first prince, had. As her aide, Pryde-sama has never done that even though there were a lot of opportunities for her to do so and she could have kept mum about it but she decisively made use of Stayle’s ability. Even Stayle-sama, he has complete trust on her words and not an ounce of hesitation as he continuously displays the things his ability can do. Despite having limitations set upon his ability due to his young age, the precision of his ability to teleport the supplies in accordance with the coordinates set upon is impeccable. All the supplies he has transferred over within three meters around me. If Stayle-sama… If Pryde-sama… If his ability is use to do evil things like assassination. Just thinking about it, gives me chills. “How about we just let Stayle-sama go and drop a bomb or two over the enemies?” The thoughtless words of one of the recruits made me jump from my feet to the point that I couldn’t help but yell at him. As if in reply to that, Stayle-sama, without any change in his expression just said, “I don’t mind as long as my Older Sister wishes for it.” Which made Pryde-sama strongly answer, “You mustn't. That isn’t something that Stayle should do.” Just what would have happened if she wasn’t strongly against it. But she’s right...defeating the enemy, taking their lives. Those are our jobs. Our responsibility. Taking a person’s life, is something he should never be used to. If he gets used to it then he’ll become a threat stronger than any best army out there. Even though he is still a young lad, for him to be able to display this kind of ability. Just thinking about how he will be from here on is exciting but at the same time it’s fearsome. Since currently, the eyes he has tells you that as long as Pryde-sama orders him to kill someone then he’ll do it without having any second-thoughts... Because of Stayle-sama’s strong sense of loyalty for Pryde-sama, some people are starting to doubt and say that, “these two didn’t do a subordination contract but that of a slavery one.” But right in front of us these words were completely rebutted by him. I don’t know the reason but one thing is for sure, Stayle-sama is only doing his best for Pryde-sama out of his own free will. He isn’t like someone who’s been forced to sign a slavery contract but every thing is surely done out of his own desires. His will nor his heart is clearly not enslaved. Since we can clearly see that the actions of Stayle-sama in front of us is his will. “Everything is for the sake of the First Princess, Pryde.” That strong will of his. I’m not even sure if amongst the carefully selected knights within the order there is someone who has a will as strong as his. Of course due to the continuous teleportation of the goods by Stayle-sama, we are able to strike back against the enemy and at the same time we are able to do first-aid for the knights. With this momentum that we have right now, we can hang in here until the reinforcement arrives. “Really...I’m at awe…” To Stayle-sama who’s using his special ability and for Pryde-sama who gave us this lifeline. The Knight’s Captain muttered in a low-voice so that the people across the screen wouldn’t be able to hear him. eunie here: here's the promised 2/2 chapter update!!
