【Chapter 115】

The next day.

“Aisha?”

“Kail! We’re meeting in the morning today? I’m going to the Royal Palace for magic lessons again today!”

Kail froze up once again upon seeing Aisha.

The white dress that looked particularly well-suited on her today.

Her twin pigtails swaying like arrowheads as she ran toward him.

Even her bright smile that seemed capable of melting the white snow of the North.

“See you later, Kail!”

“…”

Until Aisha, waving her hands vigorously, disappeared into the portal, he couldn’t say a single word.

He still felt as if feathers were tickling his entire body.

His heart pounding like crazy…

‘Is it broken?’

Kail blankly looked down at his chest.

It wasn’t because of Aisha’s breath. Something definitely seemed strange. It felt like something was wrong with his body.

“Lord Nox. Something’s wrong with my body.”

Eventually, Kail poked his face through the door of Nox’s office.

“…Kail?”

Though it felt a bit awkward to reveal his physical condition to Nox, truthfully, no one else showed as much interest in him as Nox did.

“What? How is your body strange?”

He looked up while wearing his monocle, having been focused on documents.

“Um.”

Kail hesitantly entered and sat in the chair placed beside him.

“My heart is pounding.”

“Your heart? Does this young fellow have angina or something?”

‘Angina? What’s that?’

Kail, who had grown nervous at the serious expression, pursed his lips into a triangle before continuing.

“And it feels like someone is tickling my body with feathers.”

“Did someone actually tickle your body?”

“No.”

“Then why do you feel that way?”

“I don’t know. I just feel that way.”

“Hmm.”

He removed his monocle and fell into thought while stroking his chin.

“Are your legs perhaps itchy?”

‘Is that it? Are my legs itchy?’

Kail, who found it difficult to judge for himself, roughly nodded his head.

“I think so.”

“…Good heavens.”

But then.

Upon hearing the answer, Nox suddenly let out a small exclamation and stood up abruptly.

“There’s a possibility you have angina with restless leg syndrome.”

“What?”

Kail’s eyes grew as wide as a rabbit’s.

An-angina with rest-restless what…?

“We need to see the physician right away. Let’s go together.”

Frightened by the suddenly changed attitude, Kail nodded and quickly rose from his seat.

Here was one mistake Kail made. He had chosen the wrong person to consult.

Nox, who had shown no interest in human emotions since childhood, naturally knew nothing about the emotion called love.

Therefore, having diagnosed the young boy’s first love as angina and restless leg syndrome, he dragged Kail along as he walked to the infirmary.

Thump thump.

Kail’s heart beat even more violently.

‘What should I do? Am I going to die soon?’

Though they were going to treat his illness, somehow he felt like he had received an additional illness instead.

However.

“Your physical condition is perfectly fine. The heart pounding and body feeling itchy… those just seem to be temporary symptoms.”

At the physician’s answer, both Kail and Nox finally breathed sighs of relief.

“For now, keep monitoring your physical condition. If there’s anything strange, you need to tell me again. Understood?”

“Yes.”

After parting with Nox, Kail thought it over and came to the conclusion that Nox was an idiot.

It seemed like he would need to have a direct conversation with Aisha about this.

However.

“…Coming back late again today?”

“Yeah. I probably won’t be able to play for a while. I’m really sorry. When I’m done being busy, let’s have lots of fun then!”

Aisha took the portal to go to her lessons and couldn’t play with him.

The next day and the day after that were the same.

When Aisha disappeared from Kail’s daily routine that had continued starting with stretching exercises, a big hole appeared in his daily schedule.

“I’m bored. This is no fun.”

There was nothing to do.

After receiving knight training and etiquette education, he was supposed to show off what he had learned to Aisha.

Looking around the empty room, he pouted and lay down flat.

“When will Aisha come? Why is she so busy?”

Suddenly, he remembered the days when he was a baby cat, waiting for Aisha all day in the bedroom.

Actually, waiting for Aisha was the same then as it was now.

“Hmm.”

Kail’s eyes narrowed.

“When I was a baby cat, I kept getting sleepy so I wasn’t bored.”

That’s right.

When he was in his baby cat days, he was busy growing so he was busy sleeping after eating.

But now.

“Now? Why can’t I sleep now?”

He asked himself, but all that returned was an empty echo.

“Where is Aisha?”

Kail jumped up from his spot and shouted.

“I’m so bored, why am I doing this?”

It was too frustrating.

“What am I living for? When I was a baby cat, I could live as I pleased, but now why do I have to receive sword training and etiquette education that I don’t want to do?!”

But no matter how much he shouted, all that returned was empty silence.

That’s right.

This was a problem Kail had to think about himself.

“…!”

Kail’s mouth fell wide open as he realized he had hit a difficult situation.

For the first time in his life, he was going to do something called ‘thinking.’

* * *

A few days later.

Captain of the 4th Knight Order, Iris, was in charge of trainees aiming to become official knights.

“Any decent kids lately?”

“Decent kids?”

30 minutes before training began.

Jude, the Captain of the 3rd Knight Order, approached him and asked. Several trainees who had already arrived at the training ground were doing individual practice.

“You know that guy. The one called Kail. You said he was decent before.”

“Ah.”

At his colleague’s words, Iris’s brow furrowed slightly.

Though he couldn’t believe he had said such a thing now, he had indeed mentioned in passing to Jude that ‘Kail’ was quite a decent trainee.

At first, he was a kid who had trouble even putting on knight’s armor.

‘Child. What are you?’

‘Why? Oh, no. Why?’

‘…Your sword-holding stance is already…’

Pretty decent.

Of course, his skill was at a novice level, but if judged by growth rate alone…

‘He could even become a Sword Master?’

Iris, who realized early on that Kail was no ordinary person, would sometimes boast about his disciple when meeting colleagues.

But now…

“Hey, isn’t that Kail over there?”

That’s when it happened.

Jude, who had been chatting with his arms crossed, gestured with his head.

Where he pointed, Kail was indeed there.

“…”

The problem was that he entered the training ground with a defiant expression and passed by them without even greeting them, despite them being knight commanders.

“Hey there, child!”

When Jude shouted, Kail’s body, which had been walking slowly, stopped.

And the young boy.

“What do you want, bro.”

Made a delinquent expression and stuck out his lips.

“…?”

“?”

Whiiiii-.

At the outrageous title he had learned from who knows where, the surprised knights all stopped their actions at once.

Iris and Jude, whose mouths hung wide open, were the same.

However, Kail, who had stuck his hands in his pants pockets, made a “hmph” sound and continued on his way.

Even when he stopped in place, his attitude remained unchanged. He reluctantly picked up a wooden sword and began swinging it half-heartedly with an unwilling expression.

“…That kid, what on earth…”

“Jude, sorry but let’s talk later.”

“Huh?”

“He used to be a good kid even if he was stupid, but lately I don’t know what’s gotten into him, he keeps acting like that.”

Crack.

The angry Iris clenched his fist so hard that bone sounds could be heard.

Jude nodded and quickly disappeared without a word.

That’s right.

For several days now, Kail had become so defiant that he seemed like a completely different person from before.

‘I don’t know why he’s like that, but I absolutely cannot tolerate calling the Croste Household’s knight commanders “bro.”‘

Iris approached Kail with fierce eyes and crossed his arms.

“Kail.”

Thunk-.

But the boy just swung his wooden sword without even answering.

“Kail!”

Finally, when he snatched the boy’s sword and raised his voice, Kail looked up and stuck out his lips.

“Ah, what’s the matter.”

“What? Ah, what’s the matter?”

“…”

“Why are you talking like that? And what’s with calling the heavenly knight commander ‘bro’? You’ve been like this for days, and if you don’t reflect, you’ll be excluded from sword training from now on!”

At Iris’s scolding, the knights nearby gasped and held their breath.

Excluding a trainee from training was similar to saying they would be kicked out of Croste Ducal Castle.

But Kail.

“I won’t do it.”

“What?”

Put down his sword as if annoyed.

Not only that, he fidgeted and took off his knight’s armor.

“Anyway, even if I do this stuff, Aisha won’t acknowledge me. I won’t do it. So you can do this, mister.”

“…?”

“And I’m more comfortable biting than using a wooden sword.”

Thud-.

Soon the gauntlet the boy had taken off fell to the floor with a thud.

At the trainee’s attitude he had never seen before, Iris stared blankly at Kail walking away with quick steps.

And a little later.

“Lady Aisha!”

“…Bring Kail here.”

Aisha, who had heard all the facts, opened her closed eyes wide and commanded.

“Kail. Assemble in front of me immediately!”
