Hmm, even if thatâs a toy sword, itâs annoying to match him and swing it in front of me like that.
âAssisi!â
I did not know when he came back from the party, but my guardian knight struck that sword like a flash. It was a simple move that didnât take much effort, but the little boy in front of me got disarmed in a single swing.
The empireâs strongest knight sure was on a different level.
Assisi seemed to feel guilty for letting this whole situation happen. Itâs alright since I was not hurt. I smiled at him, trying to show that I was fine, but Assisiâs frown remained. He should stop pouting like that. Dad summoned him. Thatâs all.
âThe Black Knightâ¦â
As the boy looked at the sword that left his hand, he glared at Assisi. The hostility in his eye was no different from when he was looking at me. Well, if Caitel was the one who conquered Pretzia, Assisi was the one who made it happen in battle.
At the same time, it seemed like heâs so scared.
I looked at his trembling hand and pushed the chocolate prepared for me towards him.
âHere, have some of this. I think you could really use some sugar right now.â
It was a kind consideration for him, but he didnât know my kindness, and he glared at me with his eyes wide open.
âWhat did you say? You think I can eat that right now?â
âWell, itâs totally fine.â
He kept his mouth shut upon seeing my face. It looked like he had got nothing to say back. He didnât have anything more to say, did he?
I knew this from my experience⦠If he stayed mad, he would only get tired faster. I kindly urged him again.
âDonât whine later because you want to eat something. Just eat it now while Iâm offering it.â
Itâs not like I could do anything about his hostility. Itâs not pleasant to be hated. That didnât mean I couldnât be generous. I just had to do what I could.
His expression shook and seemed a bit interested in the chocolate in front of his eyes. I smiled brightly with some friendly undertone.
âDonât you want to try some of it?â
Finally, he reached out to it. I just smiled quietly while looking at him as he ate some chocolates.
What a good boy.
