“……Why didn’t you say anything?”

Hiswa and Gilliana, Vernon swallowed dryly.

The commander seemed to have expected to be angry.

But it was not easy to speak out, as they had already applied for childcare leave, and even they had said they would be there.

However, they can’t be prevented from using the Grand Training Ground just because the commander is not there.

Perhaps the supreme commander must have left his place.

As expected, the supreme commander Helbert was at the top of the list to come running from the moment the childcare leave was applied.

He was her godfather, and quite a fuss, so it wouldn’t have passed so quietly if he hadn’t left his place.

For a moment, Lucia’s mind was filled with the image of Berle struggling in the Grand Training Ground.

Bigbellied fellows who had manipulated not to use it for half a year just because the supreme commander and the commander were not there, now wouldn’t easily modify the set schedule just because Lucia had come.

She frowned as if her head hurt for a moment,

“Everyone, follow me.”

“Co, Commander?”

At her decisive command, the members of the Black Knights who were in physical training all stopped their movements at once.

And, quickly wiping the flowing sweat on the back of Lucia, who was going ahead, they followed her.

Click, click, click.

The mass movement of the Black Knights crossing the middle of the imperial palace with a heavy step.

5 years of special training and childcare leave for half a year.

At the overwhelming aura of the Black Knights, who had not revealed their presence during that time, the workers of the imperial palace who came across were so surprised that they scattered quickly or hid everywhere.

It looked like a prelude to the shockwave that would happen in the future.

The huge Grand Training Ground where the clear sky of a chilly autumn is seen.

The four pillars embedded at the edge of the place seemed to symbolize the high honor of the past war victory, with symbols representing each Knight Order drawn.

And the deputy commanders gathered among the many latest devices seemed to be raising their voices as if they were arguing.

“It’s not possible. Our training schedule is set, and we cannot change it.”

As the enemy’s deputy commander spoke as a representative, the deputy commanders of yellow and white felt a little uncomfortable in their place.

They had been called for just a schedule approval request, and it was disturbing that they had been involved in the torment.

Moreover, the white deputy commander was a mage, so she had a separate training ground, and the woman, who was involuntarily involved in the fight, was confused and flustered.

“The commander has returned to work, and you can approve the Grand Training Ground’s hall, which has been so requested. What’s the problem?”

Berle spoke firmly, with a rigid face, refusing to answer.

However, the competent deputy commander of the enemy’s knights, for some reason, didn’t blink an eye at that.

He laughed slyly, adjusting his sleek glasses, and answered leisurely.

“What can we do if the supreme commander’s aide has approved it? You should have applied for the modification quickly.”

The Grand Training Ground’s hall system had to apply four times a year, quarterly, under the approval of each commander.

However, it happened to coincide with Lucia’s leave, and quickly took advantage of the newly started aide, who hadn’t even grasped the work, and applied for it with the approved documents of his own commander, leaving out the Black Knights’ details.

Thus, the Black Knights, who had no commander and could not apply for modifications, were unable to use the Grand Training Ground for half a year.

“Are you talking about approval from an aide who hasn’t even grasped the job? Yes, thanks to that, we couldn’t use it for the past half year.”

“If you were so dissatisfied, did you even strongly suggest it to the commander on leave?”

At his words, Berle paused.
Certainly, it was as he said, the matter could be spoken to the commander, but unless Lucia officially returned to her position and came directly to sign in front of her aide, there would be no difference with the always waiting enemy’s commander’s approval.

But that wasn’t the sole reason he was determined.

Initially, when Lucia didn’t bring a person from the Dark Guild, the Black Knights consisted of just two people.

A mere female commander and a boy named His, who hadn’t fully grown yet.

Since nobody knew about Lucia’s skills, who did not interact with anyone at that time, there was no one applying to the corps, and afterwards, no one even looked at it since the commander was a woman.

In that situation, there was a person who first applied to join on their own, and that person was Berl, a member of the enemy’s knight corps.

During the war, while Lucia’s knight corps, which had not properly formed, and the general’s knight corps were at the front line, the enemy’s knight corps were positioned in the rear, protecting the villagers.
