Turning 8

‘So far nothing has changed from the past.’

Of course, Yuder’s roommates or Kanna’s acceptance had changed from the past, but the faces of his roommates that he didn’t remember at that time, and the degree of Kanna joining the Cavalry wouldn’t affect the flow yet.

Most of the current events in the Cavalry went as Yuder knew.

There were only small incidents of the blue-haired twin siblings having a verbal fight with the knights passing by while cursing them out or a brief disturbance due to the powerful explosion caused by someone during training.

‘And maybe the accommodation will change soon.’

They would move from the Imperial Knight’s dormitory building where they were temporarily staying to the newly constructed building dedicated to the Cavalry. It became his real home for a long time until Yuder was imprisoned.

After he had become the commander, the emperor offered him several houses because it didn’t look good, but Yuder didn’t go there.

His house was always the small room in the top corner of the accommodation where the Cavalry members stayed.

But this time he wouldn’t be the commander, so he would never be able to stay in that room.

Yuder let out a small sigh because he strangely missed the place that had not yet been built.

“Yuder, don’t tell me you’re already having a hard time?”

Gakane, who was training next to him, asked in disbelief. He became a celebrity in the Cavalry for his outstanding appearance and sociability, but he still hadn’t left Yuder’s side.

In addition, he had always talked about this and that next to Yuder regardless of his reaction. It was strange to deal with him like that.

In fact, the most changed thing since Yuder regressed was his relationship with Gakane.

But in the next year or so, Gakane would be on duty and get killed in an incident. The incident that used to feel casual had now occasionally haunted Yuder’s mind.

‘I intend to prevent the death of capable people as much as I can, so I plan to prevent Gakane Bolunwald’s death, but…….’

Was it possible? He’d never twisted anything big enough to save a man destined to die. He didn’t know whether he would succeed or not even if he tried. The consequences of things that did not happen were still unknown.

“I’m fine.”

Yuder erased all thoughts from his head and got up again.

“Yeah, that’s how you are.”

What did he mean by it the way he was? Yuder seemed to have done the same things. No one had tried to make eye contact with Yuder before, but now Gakane in front of him was looking at him thoughtlessly. It was mysterious and strange.

A month later, the Cavalry members escaped from the temporary quarters and entered a new building properly built for the Cavalry. It was right next to the Imperial Knights’ site.

It was made in anticipation of training there, but the knights were furious that the Cavalry members, who they hated like bugs, had better accommodation than them.

Yuder’s roommates were the same as before, but the room was much bigger. So when each person lay in bed, the space between each other could be seen separately.

After that, as he recalled, they would continue to change their ways, followed by intense training. There were no losers, but the wounded came out from time to time.
