My Childhood Friend the Demon Knight Hates Me Chapter 6

Reunion Part 3

Chapter 6

“Good afternoon, Feudal Lord-sama! It’s been a while!”

“Ah, Urr-kun!”

After summoning Uur, master immediately reach out to him to welcome him. Every time master sees a spirit, it always astonish me how much he changes from being an elegant feudal lord to this….

“Aaahh, as I thought spirits are wondrous. Urr is so n.o.ble, cute, and wonderful!“, for me as an apprentice, it kind of brings down his image on me.

“Here, on the sofa and eat some sweets. Come sit here too, Suria. This tea, ahh, I have also prepared Uur’s favorite strawberry pie.”

“So you intentionally prepared it huh….”

“Yaaay! I love you Feudal Lord-sama!”

I breathed a sigh to the master’s sweet and kind words.

There are still some things I want to ask about the matters on the Spirit Princess, but I guess I’ll just wait for it later.

In the end, it was until the apricot tea in the pot has been emptied that I could listen to the details on the matter.

It felt like I was skipping my duties because of how long the tea time was, but the master convinced me that it was just fine since he’s the one who called me, it gave me a sense of relief.

Uur was placed on master’s lap that is so pleased.

By the way, Urr’s tail is still an actual water if touched by a person, so it made master’s clothes wet……. It’s not good. No, it seems like master doesn’t mind it, instead he was just smiling happily.

According to the details I heard from master, it seems that the spirit church will be sending a messenger one week from now. How fast. It takes five days just to reach this territory from the capital, maybe he has already departed from the capital.

I will be coming with the messenger along with his return to the capital where I will be taught about the ceremony. After that, I will be heading to the Sacred Bell Forest.

There seems to be a special road intended that’s shorter to travel at from the church to the Sacred Bell Forest, still, until I’m done with the task at the ceremony, I won’t be able to do my duties that I normally do until I return safely. For the time being, master has a.s.sured me that he’ll do something about that.

The problem is…… The messenger who will be coming to pick me up, in other words the “Knight Escort of the Spirit Princess“.

It’s another someone who is allowed in the presence of the Spirit Queen along with the Spirit Princess.

It will be a knight that will be escorting the lady chosen as the Spirit Princess together to the sacred forest.

The Knight Order of the country holds an examination available for both the n.o.bility and the commoners to take and those who pa.s.s are able to become “Knight Apprentice“. From there on, he will be tested until he is granted full Knighthood t.i.tle and be group to a knight unit that he fits into but, the most revered unit with the flower seal “Special Knight Order” which mainly acts as escorts for royalties.

From the unit of the most talented knight, an escort will be chosen. It has been the tradition since long ago.

And for these knights, it is an honor to be chosen as an escort to protect the Spirit Princess. Plus, for the knights, it won’t be a problem if they don’t possess spiritual mana simce they rely on their physical strength but the Spirit Princess may lend her power to the escort.

For some reason I don’t mind now being chosen as the Spirit Princess, but the Knight Escort chosen was…….

“There’s no way that it’ll be that person right…….”

That person———— is Reiss, after that fateful day that shattered my love to pieces, after his birthday, Uncle Allan has told him about the Knight Order examinations.

The examinations are allowed to those aging from thirteen years old. Uncle Allan once knew someone from the Knight Order. Training Reiss from early in the morning the art of swordsmen, Uncle Allan instilled him with his hopes to be one of the Knight Order of the country. And he spectacularly pa.s.sed the examinations……. And according to the rumors that has spread within the territory, he also has ben picked to be part of the Special Knight Order at a fast pace.

And it is said that he was a cruel and unforgiving being for those who appears to be his enemies, strength that can’t be a human any longer and apparently gained him the t.i.tle “Demon Knight”

As a childhood friend whom I considered my first love, he seemed to be moving farther away, having those stories reach up to my ear, I, I felt emptiness growing wider on my chest.

Since the day that I hit him and yelled “I hate you” at him, we haven’t been in any contact, it was only later then that I heard that Reiss had left the territory.

In the past, there are not much people who knew about him, and just made me proud.

“Ne~e, what’s wrong? Suu. Somehow, you’re making a sad face. A while ago you were muttering, is that related to “that person”?”

I hurriedly left master’s office and headed to the library quickly.

Pleased with the sweets he had, Uur was perplexed on the feelings that I was emitting, even I was aware of what I am doing. And I already told him “…….. It’s not like I’m lonely Urr, after all, I have Urr beside me. But, hearing master’s story made me anxious for some reason.”

“Anxious? It’s fine, our Queen is a very kind one. I’m sure Suu will also like her. Don’t mind it too much!”

“It’s not really about that…… But Urr’s right, there’s nothing to be scared about. You don’t have to be worried anymore.”

That’ right.

I never thought that it would be Reiss that will be my Knight Escort, it’s been a while and we’ve been forced to meet again, how stupid. Since I have already cut off my ties with him, there is no such thing as fate.

In the first place, he was reffered to as a “Demon“, and to have been chosen as the Spirit Princess’ Escort Knight to protect me on the way to the Sacred Bell Forest, there must have been some kind of mistake.

Meeting again would be way too awkward!

“Well then, let’s return to work.”

I thought about preparing as soon as I get back at home, I tied my hair up.
