Chapter 51

“Then I’ll be waiting there. Please be at ease.”

Laritte made her way under the cool shade of a tree.

Alice and Irene, the twin maids, were worried that their madam might have been offended. They either asked Laritte to chastise the knights or offered her snacks.

“Try this one, madam. It’s very sweet!”
“Those knights are really terrible. Am I right? If only the Duke was here….. hmph!”

Laritte only shrugged in response.

The fragrant grass under the tree was calming.

Just in time, a yellow striped butterfly appeared in front of her. It sat on the tip of her finger as she reached out her hand.

“It doesn’t matter.”

She meant it. She didn’t care whether the knights hated her or not.

It took such a long time for Laritte to acknowledge herself.

The knights who grew up as aristocrats, much less others, of course thought she was pretending.

In the distance, Redra looked like she was losing her sanity.

“You don’t have to scream like that. You’re only making yourself struggle.”

Laritte yawned under the warm sun.

She decided Lady Redra needed some juice to calm down.

Knights absent from the meeting were gathered at the annex.

“Would it be okay to have so many knights there?”
“What are they all going to do?”

In the midst of them was an old man. His name was Mason Moore, and he was the oldest knight of the Order. His times of glory might have gone, but he was twice as towering and muscular as the young knights. Even now, he was considered one of the strongest. Everyone looked out for him.

“Is everything all right, Sir Mason?”

For the Knights of Reinhardt, Mason was as absolute as Redra. If Redra had force and power, Mason had influence and skill upon the Knights.
