“Glorious Empire Eldarion’s Black Knights! I greet the Commander!”

“……!”

As soon as the door was opened, she was startled by the loud cheer.

Before her eyes, men lined up as precisely as machines.

They were dressed in the familiar black knight uniform, standing upright, showing off their muscles without a single inch of error.

Caw, caw.

Angry cries echoed in the silence as the startled mountain birds flew away.

She had expected the scene to be of Berl fighting fearless monsters beyond the barrier, or someone skilled he had brought with him.

Lucia, frozen like a statue by the unexpected turn of events.

After a long while, when her shock didn’t subside, Berl, who had kneeled before the commander, looked up.

“Commander Lucia. It’s been a long time since I last saw you.”

Lucia cast her eyes down from the many looking at her to gaze at him.

And upon recognizing his face, she was surprised once again.

‘He looks just like him.’

Human genetics were truly fascinating.

Even the straight gaze looking up at her was identical to the Berl she knew, without a single inch of error.

“So. You have gone ahead first.”

The real reason his son, who looked just like him, had come here with all these people was one.

Lucia, who was indifferent about the fact that he had gone to rest first, even though he was older but about the same age, continued to speak.

“You don’t need to call me ‘Commander,’ like your father.”

“……Yes?”

“You don’t need to be formal. There was no need to bring me here for the funeral. You’ve gone to needless trouble.”

Berl rose from his surprised, bent knee.

Then, flustered as if something was on fire, he quickly bowed his head.

“I’m! I’m sorry! I didn’t know the mood and did this…!”

‘Those brats…! They should’ve at least given a warning. No wonder I didn’t see a nose today. Even if the commander didn’t come to fetch them, I’d have dismissed them a hundred times, these quickwitted brats!’

According to Berl’s furious thoughts, the main skilled individuals, who had to participate in the surprise welcome party he had prepared for the Sword Master’s birth, were nowhere to be seen.

Lucia sighed at the man in front of her, who looked quite downcast.

Despite being his father’s funeral, his loyal habit of not letting a single disagreeable word pass was just like him.

“Then go prepare again.”

“Yes. Commander. Ah, Com, Commander. Ah, no. Captain? Boss…?”

Berl was broken by the commander telling him not to call her “commander.”

Lucia headed inside to the dress room to prepare for the ceremony.

Although she was reluctant to put on the empire’s uniform after a long time, she decided to be as formal as possible since it was the death of someone she had been with in the knights for a long time.

As she looked around for the uniform, a large mirror that hadn’t been in the dress room before caught her eye.

It was a familiar mirror she had used quite often during her time as a royal knight to adjust her uniform, but it was a mirror she had no memory of bringing here.

She approached the mirror slowly, feeling strange, and examined it.

But the figure reflecting there was…….

“……!”

What…… in the world…….

Lucia froze at the unbelievable sight.

Instead of white, aged hair and wrinkled skin, there was lush, long black hair reaching to her waist even when tied up, and lively skin with faint cherrycolored cheeks.

And instead of the faint boundaries of her pupils, there were sparkly blue eyes like stars.

It was unmistakable.

Her appearance in her 20s.

Lucia, gently touching her face with trembling hands to confirm.

And the conclusion she reached was,

“……So. I’ve lost my mind.”

Thus, the serenity of a ninetyyearold life crumbled.

Was natural death really such a difficult thing?
Dying in a state of madness was one of the most miserable deaths Lucia had ever known, so she hoped that her end would not be this.

She was left frustrated by the misery that oppressed her.

Then it happened.

Knock Knock

“Le, Leader. It’s Berl.”

The timid Berl, who chose to call him leader even though he was told not to call him commander.

He was not so narcissistic as to even name his son after himself.

He was bitter once again at the stupid misunderstanding directed at him.

Lucia barely clung to the mirror, deliberately not answering his voice, which she did not know whether it was a welcome or mad reminiscence.

“I apologize for interrupting. Someone is out from the palace now. It seems they have brought an imperial letter to enter the imperial palace tomorrow.”

Enter the palace?

That can’t be.

The time he had silently listened seemed a waste.

Lucia, who had been stuck here for 40 years to escape from there.

Moreover, the young emperor now doesn’t even know my face.

Then it’s even stranger.

Even if he had dementia, he would not long for such meaningless time to reminisce.

‘…Could it be.’

Lucia looked at herself in the mirror with suspicious eyes again.

Still a youthful appearance.

But that was not what she was curious about.
