In the Normel world, there are several kinds of emotions between people:

Family affection: Mother and daughter, as well as between sisters, are connected by blood and are innate emotions.

Friendship: Childhood playmates, friends when you grow up, they will build a second relationship for you.

The affection of master and servant: between lord and lord, between king and people, and even between the master and servant of a family, there is a subtle emotion, and when this emotion rises to a height beyond the material, then they can promise each other their lives.

……

If you want to ask, is there [love] in this world?

The answer is yes.

For example, the former pirate king Bald Eddie and her first mate.

For example, the commoner knight King Gale and the Dawning King Rose I.

The affection between them has clearly surpassed other emotions in the world, and when they gaze at each other, another wonderful thing is born.

A sincere emotion that is not differentiated by gender, region, or gene.

A strong emotion that makes people want to be with each other.

Even if the ultimate goal is not to possess the other person.

……

At this time, in little Gail's heart, a wonderful affection was born.

She hasn't linked it to love yet.

Because love is mutual, not everyone needs love.

Moreover, the birth of love is always accompanied by many legendary stories.

For example, the Civilian Knight King and the Dawning King lived and died together in countless wars, and in the end, the Civilian Knight King was willing to give up the throne for the sake of each other.

This kind of detached emotion is not comparable to her.

Although she inherited Gail's name, she did not have such a great soul.

At least, Gale Jr. felt that he was still a lot worse.

Gale has been feeling like he's sick lately, and he's been restless since returning from Seclay.

However, when she stood at the foot of the temple every day and saw Lord Robin high above, her mood would inexplicably improve.

This mood was strange, and even if Mistress Robin didn't notice her, little Gail would be very happy to see that kind face.

If Lord Robin's eyes fall on her inadvertently, then little Gail will be happy all day.

If Mistress Robin could say a few words to her, it would be sweet to sleep even at night.

However, when he woke up the next day, little Gail would be inexplicably melancholy.

Because she wasn't sure if she would be able to see Lord Robin again today, or even say a word or two.

Until—

Raven makes her Robin's training officer.

The training with Master Robin in the past few days has deepened her contact and understanding with him.

And the emotions of gaining and losing are even more intense.

It should have been a joy because she was able to see Lord Robin every day, and she was able to talk to him a few words, and even had more physical contact.

I don't know why, during the training process, every time she wrestled with Robin's body, her heart fluttered.

The place that Robin touched, it was like an overelectricity.

Gail was very happy when Robin said "See you tomorrow".

When his figure disappeared above the temple, she felt an inexplicable melancholy.

Lord Robin and her were like white clouds in the sky and mud and sand on the ground, even if there was a brief meeting when the wind blew.

However, when it comes time to separate, they will each return to their respective positions.

As she turned to look at the high steps of the temple, she couldn't help but think that the distance between her and the Chosen One, like the area they lived, was separated by several layers of impassable barriers.

Gail was sad, and she grimaced in frustration until she returned to her dorm room and heard Luba's voice.

If it weren't for the fact that Luba later said, "Are you in love? 】

She wouldn't even realize that this might be the legendary love.

"No, I'm just sick."

Gail replied stubbornly, then turned his head back and covered his face with the quilt.

"No, it's not love."

Just like the legendary stories she has heard, love needs the confirmation of both parties, the understanding of the heart, and the realization of each other's hearts.

If you want to say, what is this feeling now, then at most it can only be regarded as-

"I just like Lord Robin."

Yes, like.

A unilateral act.

She wasn't sure how far it would go in the future, and she panicked inexplicably.

……

How did the people get here?

Gail, the Commoner Knight King, and Rose, the Dawning King, how did they confirm each other's intentions?

If you don't notice it, then how sad it is.

How embarrassing it would be if the other party noticed.

How sad it would be if the other party rejected it.

Gail was so anxious that he didn't sleep all night.

Because she's still looking forward to tomorrow.

Because when Lord Robin was separated from her, he said that he would see her tomorrow.

It's a commitment, and the only way to put her in a good mood.

As long as she returned to the training ground, with Master Robin, her heart was peaceful, happy, and carefree.

……

Early the next morning, Gail got up in a hurry, went to the well to fetch a large bucket full of water, turned back and heated it and scrubbed her body.

She carefully tied her hair, like the plebeian knight she admired and loved, and pulled herself into a beautiful braid, hanging from the back of her head to her waist.

She tied a beautiful bow at the back of her head with a white cuff, and according to Luba, the beautiful dukes liked to tie bows on their heads, and Archduke Olga, the most famous beauty of Itnell, was full of bows, and even the ornaments of her clothes were golden bows.

Gail's long, fiery red hair danced like a flame, like the rising sun.

She found a guard's dress from the chest, which Seya had sewn for her with her own hands, with a white flower on her shoulder, while exposing her white arms without hindering her movements too much.

Remembering Luba's words, Gail also tied a bow above his right arm.

She wore a pair of trousers underneath that would have flattered her legs to a more slender and perfect shape.

Every time she wore those pants, it would make the other friends of the temple secretly marvel.

Gail is most proud of her height, which gives her a lot of advantages on the field, whether it's observing the environment or competing with opponents.

Finally, she secretly borrowed a little of the red wax that Luba used to apply bullseyes and applied it to her lips, just like the young priestess Maggie did.

The Maggie would often attend banquets, accompany nobles in conversation, or receive guests from the local shrines.

She knows a lot about how to dress herself.

I have to admit that Maggie is indeed the most beautiful of the temple priests.

Before this, Gail would never have imagined that he would learn like Maggie.

In her thoughts, the most important thing for the temple guards is to practice their martial arts and guard the temple faithfully.

Today, however, she remembered what Maggie had said, as if she were fascinated.

Maggie says that this will make your complexion look better and more feminine.

After all this, Gail waited early in the training ground.

So much so that she didn't realize what she had done.

"Oh my God, what am I doing......

When she stood in the sunlight and saw her funny appearance in the iron shield in the corner, Gail slapped his face with a sudden realization.

Her cheeks had become as red as her hair.

Gail couldn't help but get scared.

What if Lord Robin doesn't like her dressed like that?

What if this is not love, but the legend, under the curse of the devil?

If......

"Good day, Gail."

It was then that Robin's voice rang out from behind her.

As if knocking in her heart, Gail's body trembled slightly.

"Good day, Lord Robin."

Gail took a deep breath and turned around, she didn't dare to look at Robin's face, but just focused her gaze on his shadow.

Perhaps, in her field of vision, she can also see Robin's black boots.

and his two long legs, sturdy.

"You look so beautiful today." Robin laughed kindly and calmly.

“…… Ay? ”

Gail looked up in surprise, and it was at this moment that when she saw the sincere smile on Robin's face, she suddenly felt-

The whole world is bright.

A ray of sunshine shone into her heart.

Countless petals bloom one after another, covering the entire heart.

"Thank you, Lord Robin."

Gail grinned and laughed happily.
