Chapter 64: The Commander's Son Speaks to the Children

"Sensei is a noble, right?"

Gulliver, who was lying on the ground after today's class, asked such a question.

"Yes, but why are you asking?"

"Well, the teacher also has a fiancée right."

Hearing those words, the other two also looked at me with interest.

"You-do you have a Fiancée? teacher."

"Interesting. Does the fiancée of such a strong teacher also have the same muscle brain?"

"Who's a muscle brain?"

After giving Laia a light chop, I thought a little before saying.

"It's a waste for me, she's the best fiancée."

"Hee, that's really?"

"Does Arth-sensei like that person?"

"Of course. Rather, I like it too much."

Gulliver tilted his head at those words, but Manaka and Laia listened with shining eyes.

"Is that something like the popular 'Knight's Tale'?"

"A knight's tale?"

"Don't you know, Sensei? It's a story about a knight who saved a certain royal fiancée. It seems that it's a story about saving that fiancée from a prince who broke off the engagement due to an unfair crime and making him his own wife, You heard it too right Manaka?"

"Because, Laia-chan. It's a really wonderful story! It's based on a true story, so any girl would admire it."

Manaka speaks clearly with her eyes shining unusually. However, I didn't know that the talk about me and Alice's engagement had spread so far. I don't know if it's available in other countries, but I wonder if it's a fairy tale level that even children know. If so, my engagement with Alice will be talked about forever.

"Come to think of it, what happened in this country...do you know anything, Sensei?"

"Well then. I don't know if it has anything to do with that story, but I've certainly stolen my fiancée."

"Did you steal it?"

"Oh, I took it from the prince and made it my own. Now she's in love with me."

"Hee, that's right"

Gulliver's reply seemed uninterested, but Manaka and Laia nodded as if they had guessed what I was saying.

"Well, someone like Sensei would certainly do that."

"Uh, yeah. He's really cool, I want to be like him"

"What about you guys like that..."

"That's right. We won't say anything uncouth afterall, men will always be men."

Me and Laia stare deeply at Gulliver and Manaka, who tilt their heads. I vaguely know, but apparently Manaka likes Gulliver. I would never put it into words because I am a latecomer. It's amazing that you're doing a romantic comedy without realizing it, but well, that's not what I should say, so I'll ignore it.

"Next time, let me meet your fiancée sensei."

"If only I had time."

"Come to think of it, Sensei will eventually become the Knight Commander, right?"

"Yes. What's wrong with that?"

"Then, make me your subordinate too."

Surprised by Gulliver's unexpected offer, the other two modestly raised their hands and said,

"I'm not a knight, but I would like to work under Arth-sensei."

"Wow, me too. I don't know if I can help you..."

I thought about those words for a while before saying.

"Well, I'll accept that feeling. If you really want to work for me in the future, I'll prepare properly."

"If I become your subordinate, I will definitely be stronger than the others!"

"Well, it's very possible."

The members of the knight order are by no means low level, but their basic specs are human, so they are low. On that point, Gulliver can fight reasonably well if he has magic, so I'm looking forward to the future. It's the same with the other two as servants, but it looks like they'll be entrusted with detailed work.

"Come to think of it, the one on the teacher's neck has a strange shape."

"You mean this? A locket pendant. It's an accessory where you can put a picture of someone important to you."

After opening it lightly, I showed it to the three of them, and they were all surprised at how cute Alice was.

"Amazing..."

"It's beautiful..."

"Are you serious, Sensei...?"

After nodding to the fact that the three of them had similar impressions, I said with a smile that I would put away the locket pendant.

"Let me give you some advice. I'm indiscriminate when it comes to my fiancée, so be careful. Especially Gulliver. If you think about Alice even a little, I won't forgive you."

"Uwaa... you're so immature with children."

"Of course. She's my fiancée alone"

"I won't do anything to the teacher's fiancée, because I don't want to make him an enemy."

The other two nodded at those words, so it should be fine for the time being. Even a small favor will not be overlooked. My desire to monopolize Alice is to the point that if she becomes aware of it even a little, she could start preparing for war immediately. Well, I'd like to forgive the faint illusion of a child, but I don't want Alice to go to a young girl because her love continues to adulthood, so I have to nip him in the bud. I'll do anything dirty to keep Alice from being taken. Even if I'm uncool, it's fine as long as I'm cool in front of Alice. All for Alice. While talking to her students like that, I keep them in check. Well, these clever kids should be fine, but just in case.

I have to do whatever I can.
