Rather than a passionate young man relying solely on his vigor, he could only do what he could do as a knight in the safest way possible, helping Hayden as much as possible.

Rustica Gennes knew never to overdo it, to know when to intervene and when to withdraw.

“And the knights will all listen. Please tone down your speech a bit.”

“I don’t want to. Even if I fix it now, what’s the use when everyone has already heard it.”

He carefully adjusted Ru’s attire as if expertly touching a lady’s clothes, making it clear that it wasn’t his first time.

‘Surely he can dress a dress well.’

Thinking silently, Matilda Delote turned her head with a horrified expression as she shivered.

“All right, it’s done. Have a safe trip, Ru. Don’t forget how worried I was, okay?”

“You don’t have to worry.”

Hayden, in response to her words, simply kissed her forehead.

“It just means I love you.”

Yes, he knows he is overly protective of her. But can anyone not worry about their lover going into battle?

The only reason Hayden can be calm now is because he knows he can protect Ru at any moment. He knows that Ru will be safe wherever she goes. He knows it in his head, but his heart is still uneasy.

But even this was the destiny of someone who loved a knight. Watching his knight, who raised the sword and fought with all his might, hoping that Pegasus would ride on, Hayden suppressed his heavy heart.

“I follow Genes!”

The moment Ru stepped into the war, her title changed. Hayden reflexively took Ru’s outstretched hand and kissed the back of it.
However, her hand gently pulled his face. In the training ground where a thousand knights began to gather on mythical creatures, Ru bowed her waist and kissed Hayden.

The sound of knights pouring out is loud.

“Byfello!”

“To the south!”

The gate at the end of Byfello leads to the south. Before flying towards the sparkling transparent road, Ru kissed her worried lover, completely ignoring the watching eyes.

He knows that she is checking how her body is while touching her clothes, whether the uniform is uncomfortable or not.

That was love. Full of concern and affection, sometimes it may seem excessive, but it was tender love.

Doesn’t the recipient of love know that? Ru, who once left because she was deeply worried about Hayden and feared that she might harm him, knew that feeling well.

“I love you too. You know that, right?”

The wind brought by a thousand Imperial Knights revealed Hayden’s forehead refreshingly. Ru kissed his forehead for the last time.

“I’ll be back soon.”

Under the dazzling sun, her silver-brown hair sparkling in the silver light, strong green eyes, cool smiling lips, and a firm posture were all filled in the eyes of the onlookers.

“For another victory in Perseta!”

In the clear voice, the emperor nodded.

“… Victory.”

Pegasus took a few steps, then leaped off the ground.

“Victory!”

“Victory!”

Following that, various mythical creatures of all shapes and colors flew up together.

The imperial knight order, whose hoof sounds vibrating the earth, headed for the south.

Hayden looked up at the high sky and watched as the Pegasus, quickly landing on the Byfello, ran down the road.

For such a long time, his heart, frozen and motionless for most things, was beating loudly.

He fell in love again, and he trembled again. Actually, it was something he often experienced when he was with Ru.

Hayden stood there until his splendid knight, riding Byfello, entered the door and disappeared.

Before the sunset, his knight safely suppressed the rebellion and returned to Shalea. There was not a single injured person.
