Succeeding as a Knight in a Gender-Reversal Game

34 – Subjugation Request (5)

– Grumbling…

The eerie sound of steel approaches from beyond the trees in the forest, and before you know it, its presence grows along with the people in black in front of you.

“Ann. “By any chance, do you know these people?”

“… No. “For me, this is the first time I’ve met them.”

I’ve never seen them, but I think I know they’re assassins.

Assassins who appear as an event in the Chronicles of Karnia appear to the player characters wearing black light gloves and masks, just like the one in front of them.

It usually appears according to the level of the dungeon, hunting ground, or battlefield where the player is active.

“Everyone there, please identify yourself. If you do not comply, I will take immediate action on behalf of the 3 princess.”

“……”

What will be their skills?

At least I don’t seem to be as weak as the first-year academy students around me.

Looking at the variety of weapons, including bows, swords, maces, and spears, there may be a bit of a mix of mercenaries.

Of course, there is no way that a knight would not have been sent out to deal with a knight, so there is a high probability that the two people who show the strongest momentum will be knights.

-Crash!!

Those who are presumed to be enemies are silently rushing towards us.

“From now on, I declare on behalf of Angela Burtion, the owner of Arpen Estate, that you will be summarily executed for trespassing on her property!!”

-Chaeng!!

The sound of the sword being taken out again along with Ann’s declaration gives a feeling of intimidation to the enemies.

“Everyone! Unfold the anti-personnel phalanx! Until we defeat them!”

“John… sir?”

I hear Ann next to me calling me with her questioning voice.

“Because I’m in the way!!”

-Crash!!

I actually run towards them.

The assassins, or rather the b*tches, look confused, as if they had no idea that I would attack them directly.

They probably thought I was hiding behind everyone and shivering.

I am not a good person. If necessary, everyone except Anne can be thrown as victims to those guys.

However, the sudden experience of a person-to-person battle, especially a one-on-many experience, is something that is rarely experienced. That too in practice.

“You can’t miss an opportunity to farm experience like this!”

-Chaaeaeaeang!!

-Suddenly!!

“Wow!!”

“Everyone step back! I widened the distance as much as possible… !”

“It’s late!!”

-Kaaa!!

The voice of the man in black giving command finally comes out, but it is too late.

I am already running towards the center of the enemy camp.

Even if the enemies increase the distance from me, I can easily follow them.

“What a piece of sh*t! “There are limits to ignoring us!!”

Of course, this has the disadvantage of making you vulnerable to attacks from behind or from blind angles,

-Suddenly!!

“Oh my gosh… “

As soon as I infuse mana into the Ego Sword on my waist, I automatically hear the sound of human flesh splitting and blood gushing out from behind me.

“So, so so sword dancing?!”

“Master!!!”

“Don’t say such nonsense! “At most, an academy student, and a man at that, is a sword master!”

“It’s a hex! “Everyone, calm down and deal with it calmly!!”

It seems that the existence of the Ego Sword appears to be one of the masters’ techniques.

The enemy commander’s words called hexul are a bit annoying, but a sword that automatically attacks and defends is a hexul, right?

-Boouuung!!

One of the men in black who flew towards me swinging a mace. He’s pretty fast. He may be at least as skilled among mercenaries or at the level of a knight’s squire.

But it is an obvious movement.

I twisted my body to avoid it, then quickly plunged my longsword into his chest.

-Phew!! Fuuuk!!

“Kyaha-ahhh… !!!”

“Fioren!!! You son of a b*tch!! Argh!!”

The assassin, who was enraged while calling out the name of a comrade who fell in front of me, was hit by a dagger flying from behind me and started screaming.

“I will help you, John.”

I think it would have been okay even if I didn’t have any help.

Looking at it, it looks like they only sent a party that was capable of taking down the Lycan Slopes.

I wanted to handle this much on my own, but oops.

“Thank you for your help. “Then, let’s deal with it quickly.”

“I understand, John.”

After fully understanding the situation, the two of us,

“Monster, monster… ! “You have to run away!”

“Don’t back down! Kill me first with my retreating sword… Argh!!”

“How can we win against the Master!! “Run away!!”

“Daddy, Daddy!!”

In this way, we were able to carry out a one-sided slaughter against enemies who had not yet fully grasped the situation.

* * *

“Thank you for your hard work, Sir Flavit. You must have suffered a lot due to unexpected circumstances. “I’m sorry.”

“No. “Something unexpected happened, but it wasn’t difficult at all.”

Angela Bourtion, who has successfully dealt with the monsters that have appeared in the wild and even the dungeon where they came from, enjoys a glass of wine while receiving a report from one of her vassals.

It was expected that civilian damage would occur due to the monster being tougher than expected, but thanks to the knights in the rear with excellent skills, there was no damage to Youngjimin.

In particular, it can be said that the performance of the junior knights attending the academy stood out.

“I was a little worried because I was from Freibach… Still, you do the job right. After all, the habit of carrying out transactions properly is in the blood.”

“It seems so, Princess Mama.”

“Of course, it’s still a little lacking, but… He’s a great talent if I could take him under my command. “We’ll find out how later.”

-Slurp…

Anne nodded and didn’t look tired at all.

No matter how much she was in the back, Angela thought that this could not be possible considering what happened today and continues the conversation with Anne.

“So, are you okay with the fatigue from the battle? “Even for you, it wouldn’t have been easy to fight with two knights and eight mercenaries.”

“I’m fine. “Johan took care of most of it, so I just assisted by throwing daggers.”

“…What?”

When Angela learned of her attack, she was relieved to have the best of her vassals at her rear.

If Johan had been injured, his relationship and business with Lana Sartien would have been shattered.

That’s why she gave him, her male knight, his knight disguised as her maid…

“You didn’t take care of everything? Sir John?”

“That’s right. He even showed him using the Ego Sword. Of course, he asked me to keep it a secret.”

Even the ego sword.

Angela Burtion has seen two owners of the Ego Sword so far.

Of course, both knights are masters.

I thought that except for superhumans with absolute power, they would not be able to pass the test presented by the Ego Sword.

It was so hard for me that I was dizzy from the Master’s Ego Sword that I gave away as a joke.

“…What is your true power? “Is he also a master?”

“It doesn’t seem like that yet… “At least I think he’s stronger than me.”

“More than you? “You who graduated from the academy at the top of your class and continued to fight on battlefields by my side?”

After Anne’s adoptive mother, Maid Jean, was attacked, Angela pledged to participate in the competition for the succession to the throne in earnest, but before that, she moved from front to front to ensure the safety of the empire.

I know Anne’s skills better, having traveled around the front lines with her.

If she went anywhere and was treated well, she was treated well. She is not a talented person who deserves to be treated poorly…

“She was speaking only if she limited herself to the abilities she had already shown. When she saw his appearance, it was estimated that she had not yet used the full power of her true self.”

“Umm… “

Angela’s mind becomes confused at her unexpected words.

Lana Sartien. ‘Knight of Dawn and Sunset’

If he hadn’t retired from the front lines, he would have become a master and still be a monster.

With the news of the new monster she had raised, Angela began to become greedy.

“Can I possibly know what he wants?”

“I don’t know yet… “I will check it out at the banquet this evening.”

“Please. “It may be a little uncomfortable for you, a knight, to wait on others, but you are the only one I can trust right now.”

“It’s not inconvenient at all. On the contrary, John’s manners are so good that I feel I am treated with more consideration. “Even though it doesn’t conform to the rules of etiquette, he does everything on his own, unlike other men.”

Angela’s interest deepens as she hears information for the first time in her life.

“Aren’t you whining like typical aristocratic young people? Even though he is a commoner, he is also a man… “

“If it were an ordinary man, I don’t think he would be second in honor at the Imperial Knight Academy, Princess.”

Come to think of it, her report said that she was admitted to the Imperial Knight Academy as a runner-up.

I thought it was because she had good memorization skills, or because the professors gave her extra points because she was a man, so I erased her from my memory…

Do you think he is a man worthy of being a knight in terms of personality?

“I’m getting more interested. Maybe we should try to recruit more actively.”

“I also recommend that, princess. I think that John will definitely be someone who can be of great help to the princess.”

“Now that I think about it, Sir is calling Sir John an honorific title. Even though you are a noble and Sir John is still a commoner.”

“I had a gut feeling that it was only a matter of time anyway, and that I would be in a much higher place than I was. Since this had already happened, he wanted to get used to the honorific in advance.”

Angela got a little playful at the sight of her henchman blushing slightly.

“You didn’t think that when you saw her face? “I’ve never seen such a handsome man even in the imperial palace.”

“…It would be hard to deny that it had no impact at all.”

“Uh, uh… ?!”

“I’m just kidding, princess.”

“…Ugh… “

Angela’s cheeks swell with displeasure as she tries to play a prank on her, but instead gets pranked back.

“Anyway, you had a hard time. Just go in and rest. “There will be another child to attend to me, so don’t worry.”

“I understand, Princess Mama. “Then, I hope you get a good rest.”

Angela, feeling that her busy day had passed by as she watched Ann’s retreating back, lay down on her bed without even changing her clothes.

“…John… ”

A man with an out-of-this-world appearance, it is expected that he will make a huge splash if he makes his official debut in the social world.

Although being taller than a woman may be a bit of a flaw, a woman with such tastes would be no different from an angel from heaven.

“He’s a male knight… “

Angela, who knew how messed up the operation of the male knights of the Holy Kingdom was and how passive the men were, thought that men becoming knights was just bravado or decoration.

“If he can become a truly outstanding knight…” “

So, if we can help you achieve your dreams…

“Hmm… “

So many thoughts swirling around in her head.

And at the center of it all is a man named John.

Like that,

For the first time in Angela Bourtion’s life, she fell asleep while thinking of a man.
