Chapter 31

Jaylin Mard. Who is that person?

An undefeated knight who is undefeated. The commander of the 1st Division and also the Commander of Peophil. A good person, chivalrous but with an easygoing personality, and if there is one downside to her, who has nothing to do with excellent martial arts, it is the fact that she is a war fanatic.

Ethelred has gathered all the top officials.

“Let’s have a war.”

To put it this way,

“How did Your Majesty know that I am sick and give me such a gift!”

She was the one who felt that.

She had no intention of hiding her gender, but since she is the second knight of Peophil, who fights on the battlefield savagely due to her personality, no one has ever wondered about her gender for too long. Most of all, anyone who knows anything about her knows that even if she tries to stay in the capital for a while, she will eventually go to war, so no one knows much else about her.

Jaylin Mard is a woman. But what is it?

Jaylin has been bitter about people taking her gender for granted, but at the same time, she feels comfortable. She’s not trying to cheat, but she has no reason to announce it. That’s what she was thinking as she said “No, how, I mean, yes?”

“Yes?”

“Yes!”

“Yes?!” Maribelle blinked, slightly confused.

She never dreamed that there would be anyone who would notice at once.

Jaylin blinked blankly and turned her head. A while ago, Theovalt was seen standing here with the woman in front of her.

“Hey, Peregrine.”

“—Huh?”

“Did you tell her about that?”

“No.”

“Look me in the eye and tell me. Did you say anything about that?”

Theovalt was now grabbed by Jaylin. Theovalt doesn’t know why, but he thought he had to shut up for once.

And Maribelle, who has not yet been able to keep up with this sudden situation, was caught between the two.

*****

Maribelle received another bouquet from Pepper.

It was a simple bouquet of mist flowers and hydrangeas, far from glamorous. This is what Maribelle asked Pepper for directly. Because flowers are the best way to hide something.

Maribelle decided to pay a visit to Ethelred after speaking with Theovalt. She couldn’t keep doing this, so she decided to seek reconciliation.

As the two knights barely closed the gap in the door, Maribelle was looking at the statue hanging from the ceiling. But the quiet peace couldn’t last long either.

“Theovalt, Jaylin. Do you have any business?”

Ethelred’s voice was heard from across the room.
