Chapter 59: 058 ※ A Determined Sensei [II]

"I'VE NEVER SEEN THE VICE-CAPTAIN IN AN ACTUAL FIGHT, but I heard that he's a beast on the battlefield. And I remember that His Majesty asked him to be the Captain of the Black Imperial Knights while we weren't in times of war, and while his son was still a kid, but he refused and said that he would prefer to stay in the Nicholai Grand Duchy because it was his home, and he had pupils that needed his attention," that made me laugh. "But I never thought that the pupil he was referring to was you."

When the Emperor invited my Master to have a meeting in Theolia, six years ago, we all knew what he wanted with him. But then my Master came back and never told neither me nor Ash what he told the Emperor when he refused his offer. "I never knew he had said that."

He seemed surprised. "Oh... He didn't tell you?"

"No. That smartass kept it a secret. Now I get why," I giggled. "He was probably embarrassed to tell us that he did it for us."
