My name is Thaddeus, and I am a Spartan, currently serving in the Winter Knights.

Because of the frequent dispatches some time ago, and not long ago, he was sent to White Rock City in the south of the Tiran Kingdom to protect the eldest princess of the Tiran Kingdom and the man named Earl Sutton-Stewart.

So after the mission, the head of the regiment, Gareth Stanton, gave us a day off so that we could do some of the things we wanted to do and relax.

A comrade from Sparta like me invited me to go back to Sparta with me, but I refused, I just wanted to stay in Winterfell.

The longer I lived in Winterfell, the more reluctant I was to go back to Sparta, because I didn't have any family to worry about, and I didn't want to go back to that backward place.

Sitting up from the soft and comfortable bed, I looked at the alarm clock at the head of the bed.

I deliberately turned off the alarm clock before going to bed, but I still woke up at this time, and the habits that I have developed for a long time are not so easy to change, even if I am on vacation today and can sleep at any time, but now I am not sleepy at all.

Get up, get dressed, wash up.

This is my home in Winterfell, Earl Glamorgan...... Oh, and it should be the Duke of Glamorgan who is very generous to the soldiers, with an extra bonus for each battle in addition to the normal salary.

Since I was usually in the barracks and didn't have much to spend money on, I quickly saved up a deposit and then used the money to buy this house, which made me feel like I was a real winter man.

Many of the Spartans who came to Winterfell with me didn't know that I had made a home here.

"Good morning, Mr. Thaddeus."

"Good morning, Marianne."

I was greeted by my tenants, Marianne and her husband, Abbas, from a small village southeast of Irontree Castle, who had arrived in Winterfell after seeing an announcement from the Kingdom of Tiran.

The middle-aged couple and their 10-year-old son, Lenny, live on the ground floor and will help me clean and look after the house when I am not at home, in addition to paying me a small amount of rent.

"Good morning, Lord Thaddeus."

"Good morning, Abbas, I've already said it, don't call me sir."

"Lord Thaddeus is a knight of the Winter Knights, so of course I have to call you my lord."

"I'm just an ordinary soldier, not a knight yet."

"Soon it will be."

Having lived in Winterfell for so long, I know what the title of knight means, but there are rumors that the Duke is going to make some adjustments to these titles, and I don't know what the hell will be.

"Lenny, aren't you up yet? Even Master Thaddeus is already up, and you're still sleeping, do you want to go to school without breakfast? ”

Listening to Abbas's growl at his son, I tore off a piece of bread in front of me and stuffed it into my mouth, then forked some scrambled eggs.

While chewing slowly, cut off a piece of bacon and stuff it into your mouth, chew a few bites and swallow it before drinking the juice.

I don't have to rush to train, and I don't have to worry about suddenly having a task to perform, I need to completely relax today...... Hey? Why is the meat gone? I only seem to have eaten two or three bites!

Looking at the small bread left in my hand, I sighed again: the long-term habit is really not so easy to change!

After breakfast, I left the restaurant and went to the back door.

The front entrance of this house faces the street, but there is a completely personal yard behind the house, and from the back door to the yard, the verdant green makes people feel good, and I began to think about whether to make a cup of tea and bask in the sun in the yard and read a book? Just pass the day?

As he was thinking so, he suddenly noticed a young girl standing in the courtyard next door, with outstanding height and beautiful red hair.

Looking at this girl's outstanding physique, I think she must be able to give birth to a very healthy and strong Spartan warrior, should I take the initiative to say hello to her? Maybe my son will have a good enough mother!

"Hello!"

Before I could speak, the red-haired girl on the other side had already greeted me, albeit with a slight accent, but it was nothing, many people in Winterfell had a bit of an accent, and it would slowly disappear after living for a while.

"Hello, my name is Thaddeus."

"My name is Sansa Stark."

"Stark?" This surname is so familiar, it seems that where do you hear it often? After thinking about it for a few seconds, he didn't bother to continue to dwell on this question: "Did you just come to Winterfell?" ”

"I just came here ......"

The girl named Sansa was halfway through her sentence when another blonde girl came out of the next house, and she looked at me in surprise: "Are you ......?"

"My name is Thaddeus."

"Oh, you're the owner of this house, and I've heard Marianne mention you."

The blonde girl immediately put on a big smile, it seems that she was suspicious of my identity just now, I don't care about it, it's a good thing that the young girl is a little wary, it's not very peaceful in Winterfell lately.

"My name is Shirley Birkin, and I just moved in not long ago, and I'm your neighbor."

"I see...... Welcome to Winterfell. ”

I didn't expect to have the opportunity to say this, and seeing Shirley smile and thank me, I felt more and more like a real Winter.

After a few more conversations with the two neighbors through the low wall, I was tempted to introduce the two 'newcomers' to the beautiful city as the hosts, but when I was about to speak, I realized that I didn't know much about what was going on in Winterfell.

After all, I've been in the barracks most of the time, and Winterfell is growing fast, so this time off the holidays, I found that there were more houses and a lot of new shops in the city.

But it doesn't matter, I can act as a flower messenger!

No matter where the two girls want to go, I'll go with them.

"Sansa wants to go to school."

"School?" I thought about it, the only school in Winterfell was Winter Academy: "Winter Academy? ”

"Yes." Shirley nodded, confirming my guess, "Sansa wants to know what her peers here in Winterfell do. ”

"Peers?"

"Yes, Sansa is only thirteen."

“……”

I looked at Shirley, and then at Sansa, and I seriously suspected that Shirley was fooling me, where was this only thirteen-year-old?

But think about it in another direction, I have such a good physique at the age of thirteen, and I will definitely grow into a very good mother in the future!

It's the Stark last name that I care a little about, and it seems like a great deal...... Forehead...... Winterfell's chief advisor seems to be surnamed Stark, and this Sansa Stark can't be the daughter of that advisor, right?

I panicked a little, and kept thinking about what I had just done, whether I had offended the girl named Sansa.

Because I gradually remembered that the advisor was not a very easy person to contact, if he provoked the other party for some reason, would his good life in Winterfell end here?

Headache, do you want to apologize first?

Thankfully, I quickly learned that Sansa Stark had nothing to do with the Advisor, and it seemed that I didn't have to worry about being troubled by the Advisor.

At the same time, I also learned that Shirley is currently working in the security department and recently became a patrol officer.

It's a surprise that Shirley and Sansa are standing together, and I think Sansa is the one with the stronger fighting power, but the reality is completely opposite.

"I know Abbas is working on Marty and Diogo's farm; Marianne works at the grocery store on the corner; Thaddeus: What do you do? ”

"I serve in the Winter Knights." With my head held high, I'm very proud of who I am.

But I didn't see surprise or admiration in the two girls. Shirley was slightly surprised, and Sansa ...... What's the deal with that look that doesn't know what the Winter Knights are?

It didn't seem strange to remember that Sansa had said that she had only been in Winterfell for a short time, so she didn't know what the Winter Knights meant.

Seeing Shirley whisper a few words in Sansa's ear, Sansa suddenly sighed, "It turned out to be a knight." ”

I was surprised, but it wasn't the same reaction as I wanted!

In my frustration, I took the public bus to Winter College, and I barely had much chance to speak during the next visit.

Knowing that Shirley brought Sansa to visit the school, the school directly sent a special person to take a few of us to visit, introduce the various situations of the school throughout the process, and answer all kinds of questions raised by Sansa and Shirley at any time.

He was accompanied by two soldiers from the Spartan Heavy Infantry Regiment in case anything unexpected happened.

Looking at these two unlucky guys, I was glad that I had joined the Winter Knights, otherwise I would have been assigned to the school rotation job, which would be too uncomfortable.

Thinking like this, I finally waited for the moment when the visit was over, but before I could get out of the academy, I saw a familiar figure waiting there and stopped Sansa Stark directly.

Lord David - Lord of Glamorgan, the lord of Winterfell, has come to Sansa specifically for him? What's going on?

And judging by the expression and content of the duke's conversation with Shirley, this neighbor doesn't seem to be an ordinary person!

What exactly are these two girls?

Just as I was speculating about the true identities of Shirley and Sansa, the Duke of Glamorgan, who was worshipped as a god in Sparta, suddenly came up to me.

"You are Thaddeus, a Spartan II cadet, and now serving in the Winter Knights."

"Yes, sir!"

Looking at the Duke of Glamorgan in front of me, I was very excited!

The Duke knows my name, does that mean I've been noticed by the Duke? Maybe it won't be long before I can get a promotion and a raise, become the head of the Winter Knights, marry Bai Zhuangmei, and reach the pinnacle of life!

It's a little exciting to think about it! As for Sansa...... What three fools?
