Then Hanson spoke, his voice filled with determination.
"Whatever Master decides to do for his patients, I will follow, for I am Master's first apprentice."
Christine frowned.
'First' apprentice.
The word irritated her.
Because it was true that Hanson was the first apprentice.
"No, I thought I was supposed to be the 'most accomplished apprentice'?"
"The noble princess should mind her family's business, and I'll be at the Master's side."
Boom!
A bolt of lightning flashed between Hanson and Christine.
Raymond, of course, was dumbfounded.
'No, you fools, I just want to be a rich lord.'
"Anyway, let's get down."
As they turned their backs and started down the street, they encountered an unexpected figure.
"Huh?"
"Huh?"
Shiny silver hair.
A dashing young man stood before them.
It was Elmud, the boy lord they had encountered previously!
Their encounter seemed coincidental.
'He participated in the war. I had no idea. Being Marquis Aris' son, it's only natural for him to have fought.'
Raymond raised his hand to greet him, pleased to see him after such a long time.
"How have you been...?"
Raymond's greeting was cut short as he fell silent.
The boy lord's reaction was bewildering.
Tears welled up in his azure eyes!
"...Huh?"
What could be troubling this young man?
'Is something amiss?'
"W-what's the matter?"
Confused, Raymond took a step closer, but the boy lord reacted even more inexplicably.
He clenched his teeth, swiftly turned around, and fled.
"..."
Raymond watched in disbelief.
'...Did he just run away from me? Why?'
Just then, Christine interjected.
"It's the Silver Knight."
"...What?"
That juvenile nickname?
But Christine was earnest.
"He's among the most decorated knights of recent times. He has led the charge in numerous battles and made countless significant contributions. His valor is so renowned that the Drotonian army dreads him, dubbing him the 'Silver Knight.'"
Raymond's mouth gaped open.
A silver knight?
'Really, that coward?'
He could still recall witnessing him quivering in the face of the enemy, unable to wield his sword, and now he had transformed into such a gallant knight?
"It's perplexing. Not long ago, he was regarded as the greatest coward in the kingdom."
"...Do you have any inkling as to why he changed?"
