Chapter 116: Imperial Knight
It was only two ejaculations, but I felt very tired because of the amount of cum that came out.
I tried to sleep for five more minutes, which became ten more, and so on, until I realized that it was already early afternoon.
As Odie wiped me dry of last night\'s bodily fluids, I checked my schedule for the day.
"The Grand Master will be back before dawn."
Tesh said, not caring that I smelled a little like semen.
Odie carefully wiped my erect penis with a wet cloth and prepared to put on my underwear.
"That\'s not a good idea. I\'m afraid I\'ve kept your grandfather waiting."
Tesh said as she slipped her legs into her underwear.
"No, the Grand Master is having a meeting this morning."
"A meeting?"
"I\'m sorry, I don\'t know the details."
If Tesh, who knows almost everything, didn\'t know about it, it must be a military-related meeting.
"Call the military commander. I\'ll check on grandfather\'s schedule."
"Very well, sir."
Tesh left the room and I was left alone with Odie.
She was up and ready before I was, and there was no trace of sex on her body.
As I watched her buttoning my jacket in the same manner as usual, I began to think that last night\'s mating had been a dream.
"Excuse me."
The military officer entered the room a few moments after the call.
It was obvious from his attire that he was a soldier with a title, and after some thought I remembered his name.
I don\'t remember the exact title, but the fact that I remembered his name meant that he must be one of the senior military officers. The way he greeted me, he seemed to be in good form.
After making sure Odie was out of the room, I asked him about his grandfather\'s schedule.
"The general is meeting with a visitor this morning, and I\'ve been asked to show you around if it\'s convenient for you."
"I see. Well then, please show me the way."
I was hungry, but it was bearable, so I decided to meet my grandfather first.
I took the letter that Tesh had prepared for me and left the room with the military officer.
The officer led me to another hut, and then to a room where my grandfather was waiting for me.
"It\'s been a long time, Wilk."
"It\'s been a long time, Grandfather. How are you?"
My grandfather was not the only person in the conference room. There was an old man sitting face to face with my grandfather, who must have arrived this morning.
My grandfather was over 80 years old, and this old man looked about the same age.
When the old man saw me, he stood up with agile movements that belied his age, and put his left hand on his waist in a goo pose and his right hand on his chest in a par pose.
His movements were those of a knight waiting to be introduced. Apparently, the old man belonged to a knightly family.
"Ah, let me introduce myself first. I\'m a knight of the land that I\'ve known for a long time. Here, say your name."
The old knight, with his grandfather\'s permission, said his family name and the name of the nobleman who was his lord in a crisp tone.
The nobleman was not a member of the Kingdom of Levios, but a member of the Zinkhaen Empire.
The Quardenze are going around waging war against the nobility of the Empire, but they are not fighting against the entire Empire.
Because they are not fighting against the entire empire, some nobles are neutral or even allies to the Quardenze family.
Many nobles in the western part of the empire are supporting the Quardenze family from behind the scenes. They are politically opposed to the nobles in the eastern part of the Empire.
Even in the Levios Kingdom, the eastern and western parts of the empire do not get along well, but the empire is even worse than that. How bad is it?
The old knight\'s lord, a nobleman, was also one of the imperial nobles who supported the Quardenze family.
In other words, the old knight was probably here to discuss a backroom alliance.
"This is the first time Wilk has met an imperial knight?"
"Yes."
I\'ve never been out in imperial territory before in my life, so I\'ve never met an imperial knight or even an imperial nobleman.
In the event that you\'re looking for the best way to get the most out of your business, you\'ll want to take a look at the following tips.
"I\'m retired now, Master Galfis."
The way he speaks with sharp eyes and an easy to understand austere voice, he seems more like an active knight than a retired old man.
"An imperial knight?"
"It used to be called that"
The head of the knight is the only person in a position that can be strictly called a knight. This is the same for the empire and the kingdom.
When he sees an old knight stubbornly denying that he is not a knight because he is no longer the family head, his grandfather laughs.
"He is as obstinate as ever. You’d better be a knight for the trouble."
"But, Mr. Galfiz,"
The familiar exchange between my grandfather, who spoke to me carelessly, and the old knight in a somewhat troubled tone suggested a close friendship.
I had read in books about the city ruled by the old knight\'s family, and I thought of the words of greeting to return to him, remembering about it.
He has taught me, in these places, that it is important for the society of the nobles to show off their faculties in a smooth way.
It is a natural knowledge for an aristocrat to know the location of his territory after hearing the names of the aristocrats\' families, but few of them even remember the lands and cities which the knight family governed. This is the case with knights from other countries.
"Grandfather, could you introduce me as well?"
Since it was not my turn, I urged my grandfather.
He turned his hand toward me and began a brief introduction.
"It\'s not too late to introduce you to my grandson. It will not be long before he is officially named as the next head of the Quardenze family. He\'s very studious, just like Luke. This is a good opportunity for you to teach him about the current state of the Empire."
"Yes, if I can help."
The old knight gave his approval lightly and looked at me at the same time as his grandfather.
I gave a long, formal speech that was typical of aristocracy, and stated my name.
"I\'m the legitimate son of the family of Quardenze, Quardenze Wilk."
Normally, this would have been the end of my greeting, but since my grandfather had thrown me a good pass, I decided to show off my knowledge.
"I\'m glad to hear that you are willing to share your story with us. As you know, there are no seas in the Quadrant, although there are great rivers. We don\'t have any knights who have experience in governing ports, so I\'m expecting to hear some fresh stories."
In the knight\'s self-introduction, he does not mention the name of the city or land that the knight family rules. This is because the right to rule that a knight has is something that is entrusted to him by the main noble family.
In other words, the principal family of the nobility and the family of the knight are the only two sources of judgment for the city to be governed by the family of the old knight.
If my memory is correct, the old knight\'s house would have governed some of the country\'s westernmost ports.
The old knight showed a slight reaction when he mentioned the element of knight governing a port town. I was convinced that my guess was correct, and then I mentioned the name of the city.
"Ho..."
The old knight opened his eyes and looked at me, for he did not expect that he even knew where the imperial knight ruled.
"You remind me of Marquis Quardenze."
I\'m always studying because I wanted to be thought of by Fanny as a smart, wonderful brother.
All the aristocrats of the Kingdom of Levios and Zinkhaen, of course, can be said in the sky, and I also remember the information about the historic cities and knights.
The old knight gazes at me with a nostalgic look, as if he were looking at my father in his image.
"You look just like the Marquis Quardenze when he was young. I miss your silvery eyes."
My grandfather, who reacted sharply to the old knight\'s line, clapped his hands and looked at me as if he remembered something.
"Now that you mention it, Wilk, There\'s one thing I want to ask, all right?"
"What is it?"
He was approached with a fierce face and held his shoulders. It was a considerable force.
"I heard a rumor, is it true that you have defeated a demonic beast?"
The soldiers who were traveling back and forth between Nambonan City and this base had picked up rumors about the defeat of a demonic beast.
My grandfather wanted to go back to New Nellie to find out the truth, but after being placated by the military officers around him, he seemed to have lost his nerve.
"Yes, sir. The rumor has already reached your grandfather, hasn\'t it? I think it may have been mentioned in a letter from your father.
"I see. ......! Of course! Well done! That\'s Cassia\'s grandson!"
My grandfather had a big smile on his face, put his hands in my sides and lifted me up.
I didn\'t expect him to give me a "takai takai" at the age of 12.
My grandfather, who was well over 80 years old, lifted me with ease, even though I had no problem growing up as a 12-year-old boy. I know I\'m fine because I\'m strengthened by magic, but I\'m worried that my bones will break.
Holding me in his arms, my grandfather opened his mouth excitedly.
"So, where did you defeat the demonic beast0? Evermill? Gatoren? It wasn\'t Nambonan, was it? I\'m not proud of a mature demonic beast from Nambonan, that\'s for sure.
A demonic beast is born inside a field and takes a long time to grow before it can venture out into the world.
But in a small field, there seems to be a limit to how much they can grow, and they only mature halfway. In other words, they are half-ripe.
They need a certain scale to grow into powerful magical beasts. In the case of such halfway mature magical beasts, they can be easily defeated by nobles or even by knights alone.
There are only small fields in the vicinity of Nambonan City, and the mature demonic beast that are born there are nothing to brag about even if they are defeated.
For a moment, I wondered if I should let the old knight of the empire hear about it, but my grandfather was in a hurry, so I decided to tell him.
The rumor will reach the empire sooner or later anyway.
"In New Nellie."
I say, and my grandfather drops me to the floor.
The old knight opened his eyes wide and looked at me.
"New Nellie?"
"You can\'t be ...... in New Nellie City!"
The New Nellie field is the larger one in the Kingdom of Levios. In terms of large and medium-sized enterprises, it would fall under the category of large-scale fields.
The larger the field, the stronger the mature beast, and the more terrible the mischief it spreads.
"What about the damage!? Is Luxe and Fanny safe!?"
My grandfather lifted me up this time as if to close it up. It is the feeling of junior high school students playing with a fly.
"Guh...I\'m all right. There was little damage."
I explained that I happened to be near the outer gate of the city and immediately entered the battle, and that I was isolated without returning to the castle.
There are several kinds of mystical beasts and disasters, but the most frightening is a strange disease. In some cases, even the powerful and lifelike nobles can be killed.
My grandfather also naturally understands the horror.
"Father, mother, and Fanny was in the castle, and I was the only one who made contacted with it directly. I don\'t think I\'ll get infected in that situation."
After hearing that, my grandfather exhales greatly.
"In any case, if they get infected, they\'ll can be cured anyways."
The mysterious disease caused by a monster disaster can be cured by a magician\'s magician push.
My father and my grandfather would recognize my magical powers, and they would manage it if they came to.
Thus, my grandfather was relieved to see that I had performed healing magic before.
"But the New Nellie had a demonic beast...I can\'t believe it at all. Luke must have been careful about that..."
"Dear Galfiz, the Mature Beast is not defended by the knowledge of man alone. No matter how much we try, it always comes out when we leave."
The old knight said, turning his eyes to me, and continuing his words.
"I\'d like to hear about how Wilk fought. The New Nellie beast would have been a disaster once in hundreds of years, right?"
"I\'d like to hear it as well Wilk. What kind of beast did you encounter?"
For aristocrats and knights, the story of defeating mature monsters seems to be very good. The old knight was calm, but his eyes were open with anticipation.
The Knight, who was on his way to Nambonan City, had often spoken to him, and the story of the defeat of the beasts seemed to have went smoothly.
After talking about the whole process and finishing the question time, my grandfather became delighted.
"Mmmm ...... is the beast stone on display alongside the magic stone of Cassian? Now I want to go back to New Nellie and take a look at it."
"There is also the magic stone of the devil that Mr. Cassia was killed. I was anxious to see it once."
The demonic beast I defeated was dismantled and a special magical stone that can only be obtained from a mature demonic beast.
These are like crystals of honor for the nobles, so they don\'t sell them easily. They are usually kept as family heirlooms.
"Would you like to come with me to New Nellie? Then you can become a knight of Quardenze. I need as many knights as I can trust right now. I\'m sure you\'ll be able to take care of some of the cities with ease. Yes, for example, ......."
In a half-serious tone, my grandfather began headhunting the old knight.
The proposal was realistic and did not seem to have been improvised just now. I think my grandfather had been looking for a chance to get this old knight for a long time.
The Quardenze family needed to increase the number of knights because their territory had increased due to the invasion war. The existing branch of the knight family may not be enough in some areas.
But the old knight remained polite and refused his grandfather\'s offer, citing his advanced age.
"It\'s a tempting offer, but I don\'t think I have long to live. I don\'t think I can rule without shame as a knight of Quardenze."
"I suppose."
My grandfather didn\'t seem to have any intention of forcing him. Perhaps because they were close in age.
"...But, Mr. Galfiz,"
With these words the old knight sat up as much as to say that this was the show.
"Permit me, not as a knight, but as one of your warriors, to enter into the siege of Othelloria."
The city of Othelloria is the stronghold of the dukes who unite the old Voistra, a large faction of the eastern nobility of the Empire.
The fall of this city and the murder of the duke who controls it has been a long-cherished wish of my grandfather.
"In order to avenge the death of Lord Gardakul, and to avenge the death of Lady Kasia. That is my last hope."
