Eugene sat on the left side chair beside Kaizer.
Grand Duke Kasrten: "How are you feeling?"
Eugene smiled and said, "I'm fine Duke, I can go back to the academy soon."
Grand Duke Kasrten nodded, "Good, I'll order a knight to escort both of you. The day after tomorrow is the official start of the selection, and many people from nobles to commoners would come and watch the event. You two should do your best to pass and become a respectable knights in the future."
Kaizer looks at his father disgustingly, "I won't be a knight staying in the palace, I want to be a war knight!"
Eugene unconsciously look at Kaizer and couldn't help but tighten his grip on his spoon.
The war is also near, he needs to do something so he can replace his brother.
In order to prove his ability he must pass the selection.
"No need to be a war knight, your grandpa's side can take the place of protecting the empire outside the borders."
Grandpa?
Eugene frown, the old grand duke is already dead, whose grandpa is the grand duke talking about now?
Kaizer pouted, "No, I want to be a war knight!"
Grand Duke Kasrten sighed, it's probably his fault because he's been bringing Kaizer to war since five years old because he's scared that the people in the castle won't be able to protect his precious son, now his son who grew up in warzone desire such an occupation.
What to do? Hays.
Eugene saw the grand duke's worried expression and couldn't help but feel envious, unconsciously uttering, "I-I... I also want to be a war knight." making everyone's attention fall to him [Eugene].
The spoon the Duke Viltaria held fell as he look at Eugene in surprise.
Grand Duke Kasrten frown.
"No, it's too dangerous."
Duke Viltaria trembled and said, "T-That's right it's dangerous, you can be a palace knight, I-It's safer for you."
Eugene observed their worried expression and couldn't help but feel happy.
Is this the feeling of having someone worried about you?
What to do? He's so happy.
Eugene smiles and his eyes bend crescent in happiness, "Really, I want to be a war knight."
Grand Duke Karsten paused when he saw happiness in those pair of empty eyes and couldn't help but feel shaken.
Such a child, only the word war can make him happy?
Duke Viltaria suddenly feels like dreaming, how can Eugene choose that? With so many types of knights, why is it a war knight who is bound to die for the sake of the empire's peace?
"Y-You can't do---"
Grand Duke Karsten saw his friend's mental state is not right so he immediately grab his friend's hand, intending to wake him up and not say unnecessary things that would stress out the child.
Duke Viltaria bit his lips.
Grand Duke Karsten: "It's good but are you sure you really want to be a war knight? You should know what kind of job is that and how dangerous is it without knowing if you'll be dead or alive."
Eugene nodded, "I know but that's what my heart wants."
After all, one of his goals is to protect the empire.
