A Narrow-Eyed Nobleman Is Always Misunderstood

Episode 188 – The Female Knight Who Betrayed Her Knightly Pride

Nina Gratias Esselton, professor at the Royal Academy and Noble Academy and Baroness of the Bregern Empire.

Anna Lyudmila Semiltern, vice-captain of the Imperial Knights of the Bregern Empire and owner of the Schleyden Merchant Marine that encompasses the entire empire, daughter of the Semiltern family.

Queen of the Kingdom of Alberium, Seluna Emeraldia from Lumio’s royal guard.

If there is one thing these three women have in common, it is that they are closely related to ‘Alberto Salihar Meydern.’

First of all, Nina Gratias Esselton.

She is the lover of Alberto Salihar Meydern, both in name and reality, and has even promised to marry her in the future, and is Alberto’s most reliable supporter and colleague who loves everything about him.

Seluna Emeraldia was a talented person who was included in Queen Lumio’s personal guard, and due to her own prejudices of hers, she was the main cause of Alberto Salihar Maidern’s disappearance his hers. ＞

And, lastly, Anna Lyudmila Semiltern was one of the people who most actively attacked Alberto Salihar Meydern during the battle in the frontier, and was also someone who recognized Alberto’s skills

In summary, one person was a person who had a lot of influence in a positive way, and the other two people were a person who had a lot of influence in a negative way.

“It’s been a long time, Lord Semiltern.”

“I heard that Baron Esselton went to Noble Academy as an exchange professor.”

When Nina extended her hand to shake her hand, Anna reached out her right hand and took her hand her her, shaking it lightly.

At the same time, Anna’s gaze naturally turned to Seluna, who was standing next to Nina.

‘Why on earth is Lord Seluna standing there?’

Anna looked like she couldn’t understand why Seluna was standing next to Nina.

“Hmm? Is something going on? “You don’t look good.”

“Ah. “It’s nothing.”

Nina saw that Anna’s expression was not very good and she asked her a question, and Anna changed her expression and pretended that it was nothing.

“I decided to take a break from my exchange professorship for a while.”

“Yes? Did something happen?”

When Nina told her she was taking a break from her exchange professorship, Anna was shocked.

Because she thought that the Nina she knew she would never quit her job as a professor no matter what happened.

In Anna’s memories of her, Nina Esselton was Alberto Salihar Meydern’s maid and she always supported him silently.

And she is a persevering person who always carries out her tasks to the end.

That was the person Anna evaluated, Nina.

However, Anna was a little reluctant to meet Nina because she was responsible for the disappearance of Nina’s former owner, Alberto Salihar Meydern.

“I have important work to do, but I think it would be okay to postpone trivial matters like exchange professors until later.”

While others were anxious about not being able to become a professor at Noble Academy, Anna was very surprised to see Nina’s spirit and spirit her, considering the professorship at Noble Academy to be a trivial task.

Seluna next to Nina didn’t look very surprised, but that was because she didn’t know what a great job her position as a professor at Noble Academy was and a great honor among scholars.

She spends a long time doing what she is good at, and only those who make discoveries that can be passed on to future generations are qualified to become professors.

However, her ordinary discovery is not enough.

You either have to make a discovery that will surprise the world, or you have to make a contribution that the world will recognize.

Even if a person was qualified to become a professor through this process, not just any academy would accept him.

The academy determines whether this person’s teaching style fits well with the educational policy they have established.

Then, when this person was accepted as a professor, the only way to appoint that person as a professor was if it was determined that it would be beneficial to the academy.

And, among them, the two prestigious and difficult educational institutions to enter were the Royal Academy and the Noble Academy.

Having taught others at two academies was something that could be considered an honor for the family for generations.

It was very difficult to become a professor at the two academies.

However, for Nina, who had to find her Alberto, her professorship at the academy was also an obstacle that hindered her freedom of action.

Of course, when she entered the city, her teaching certificate from Noble Academy actually helped her get a free pass on the examination, so it could be said that her teaching position helped her in some way.

“I don’t know what’s going on, but I hope you get what you want.”

“Thank you for the kind words. By the way, Lord Semiltern, did you have some business to do in the Elpario Empire that you came all the way here?”

Nina, who accepted Anna’s words as a blessing, asked her what she had come to the El Pario Empire for.

This was because it was known that Anna was discharged from the Imperial Knights by the imperial family immediately after the disappearance of Alberto Salihar Meydern.

After that, it was said that Anna returned to her family and never came out again, but since she was just a rumor, no one knew the truth about her.

Of course, this was only known to the outside world, and in reality, it was no different from the fact that she had been kicked out by the emperor for taking responsibility for Alberto’s disappearance his her.

◈

Although this woman, Anna Lyudmila Semiltern, was highly regarded for her outstanding talent, that was only when she was limited to an ordinary noble family.

In the name of Alberto Salihar Meydern, the name Meydern was the surname used by the founding hero of the Bregern Empire who contributed to establishing this country along with its founding emperor.

In other words, Alberto was a direct descendant of the founding hero, and his father was Count Meydern, a’sword master’who could be said to be an idol to martial arts practitioners who walked the right path within the Bregern Empire. Br＞

So, even if the Semiltern family led the upper tier, it was inferior to the Maidern family in terms of justification and actual status.

For this reason, the imperial family naturally ordered Anna to voluntarily discharge herself from the military, which was close to disciplinary action, in order to comfort Count Meydern.

If Anna had not voluntarily given up her status as a member of the Imperial Knights, she could have been subject to stronger disciplinary action on the grounds that she had disobeyed the imperial order.

However, Anna was keenly aware of her own mistakes, so she voluntarily took off her imperial knights’ uniform, following orders from the imperial family.

◈

The three people who met in the middle of a crowded street changed places.

The place where the three moved to was a large restaurant with a well-insulated private room.

It was lunch time, and since she had no time to spend while working as a professor at Noble Academy, Nina, who had a lot of money left over, paid all her expenses.

After ordering the waiter to bring her the restaurant’s best dish, Nina unleashed a silence spell that surrounded her entire room.

“Baron Esselton, do you know what happened that day?”

Anna, who confirmed that the silence magic had been deployed, mentioned ‘that day’.

The day she was talking about was the day Alberto Salihar Madern missing went after being attacked by someone in an unexplored area.

“I know. “I heard it directly from the person involved.”

It goes without saying, but there was no way Nina didn’t know what happened that day.

She had heard in detail what happened that day from her partner, Alberto.

And, Nina knew very well who she had seriously injured Alberto in the battle that day.

“Lord Semiltern and Seluna were there. Like a pursuit party that included an elf spiritualist and several imperial knights.”

“… That’s right.”

Anna nodded when Nina’s mouth revealed who the people she had gathered that day were.

Even though she had ten mouths, she had nothing to say.

Like Seluna, she tried to capture Alberto based on her own judgment without clearly establishing the facts.

A knight’s oath that pledged to protect the weak and take up the sword for justice.

She directly denied it.

Alberto was misunderstood due to his appearance and skills that did not match his age.

It left her with great regret that she believed the words of her two criminals without listening to his words.

While working as a free knight, I came to know the ‘White Reaper’ by chance.

She instinctively realized that the person was Alberto.

So she decided to go find him and ask for his forgiveness.

She thought that if forgiveness was not accepted, it would also be her own karma.

However, according to news, Alberto, who goes by the name Adalbert, died in an explosion.

This left her heartbroken, and just when she was wondering whether she should return to the Bregern Empire, she met Nina and Seluna.

“…”

So she felt even more sorry looking at Nina’s face.

Because she felt so guilty that she had taken away from Nina the person she could call her family.
