Chapter 27
In this way, Eustia was a person with a more delicate atmosphere than Sharkis, who looked strong.
Should I said that it is an absolute beauty that seems to come out of a myth, where the expression "beautiful" is more appropriate than handsome.
He looked big when he got up. To the point where a black shadow falls on my toes.
'It's much bigger than the Imperial nobles.'
Contrary to the image of being an alchemist and only looking at books, Eustia was a great person who lightly lifted the Bastard Sword*, which is difficult for men to lift.
He had a solid skeleton and overwhelming mana, which made him seem more intimidating.
"Where are you going?"
"To study."
Oh, look. It works well, doesn't it?
I looked up at Eustia, who was visibly pleased and said he was working for me.
No wonder he looked tired, so I felt a little sorry for him.
About breakfast, I grabbed Eustia's sleeve.

There's nothing I can do for you, so I should feed you well.
"Duke Eustia, let's have bweakfast."
I grabbed the edge of Eustia's sleeve and said.
There was no sign of discomfort even though I block his way.
His eyes just narrowed looking down at me.
"......"
Is it also bothersome?
When there was no answer, I thought it was useless interference, and my face turned red like a ripe red beet.
I opened my mouth feeling a little upset.
"I'll just go eat with oppa."
Hearing those words, Eustia's eyebrows rose. I didn't know why, so I hummed and looked away.
Eustia looked at me and slowly opened his lips.
"I will tell the butler to prepare it."
It simply meant having breakfast, but I guess it sounded like enjoying the dinner.
Anyway, we're going to have breakfast, so I'll have to get out of the way for Eustia to spend some time alone until the food is ready.
It was when I was about to say greeting by holding my skirt and bending my knees slightly.
"You should go too, Ciel."
*****
"Your Highness, you must avoid it."
Ferze walked ahead instead of hearing the knight's dissuasion.
If he avoids his place here, he will lose the first boundary line to the monsters.
Here, the border area of Djibril is the epicenter of the birth of monsters.
Among them, the Grand Duke himself was leading the most dangerous western border.
It was unusual for the imperial family to come personally, as it is a dangerous place with the highest number of casualties.
He didn't know if it's a war with another empire.
Even the proud knights consider it to be dog death** to die against the monsters.
Only the knights belonging to the White Night Knights who followed the Grand Duke had the pride of defending the empire from the monsters.
But pride alone has its limits.
The knights, who once bravely jumped into the front line, sat on the ground and bowed their heads as if they were exhausted.
They continued to win, but even if they washed their eyes and looked for it, they couldn't see the joy of victory.
The knights with swords on the floor breathed heavily.
Sweat mixed with blood ran down his face like rain.
Ferze, who was looking at the knights under his command who were tired of the hard battle, drew his sword and stepped forward.
"Your Highness, you can rest."
The northern fortress, where there were not many monsters, was taken over by the Visenna family, so it should have been dealt with by now.
"For now, I think we'd better step down today."
The Grand Duke cut down the monster without even paying attention to the persuasion of the knight.
Why are you so stubborn?
The knights did not understand at all.
There are also many knights of the White Night who are famous for their toughness.
And why can't you think of taking the sword when you've already built the line of defense.
*Bastard sword is the sword from webtoon "the god of high school" | you can search 'Jang Jang-Mi Bastard Sword'.
**a dishonorable or shameful death.
