281. golden knight isabelle
***
Chubuck. Chubuck… .
The distinctive metallic sound of heavy armor rubbing against each other.
However, the resonant sound was completely different from the metal sound of ordinary armor.
ㅡ!
Extremely rare armor that sparkles even more brilliantly in the lights located here and there, and has even been treated with magical magic.
The armor for the Golden Knight had a special quality that was incomparable to any other armor.
On top of the armor with a silver base, gold was beautifully decorated everywhere, and the performance of the armor made no sense compared to the beautiful appearance of the armor.
An armor that gives a mere knight the strength necessary to become a ‘transcendent being’.
And it was also an armor given only to the most special people.
softly… .
A woman with bobbed golden hair that shines more lustrous than the splendid beauty of such armor. Her sunken face was full of silent dissatisfaction compared to her beauty.
Took.
When she stopped walking, her gaze naturally turned to a man at the entrance of the portal site.
“Isabelle, do you hate going to the academy like that?”
When Jaden, the previous golden knight who had been waiting for her, smiled slyly, Isabelle narrowed her eyes.
“yes. Not good.”
direct answer.
Even so, Jaden did not erase his smile.
“What can I do? This is the judgment of the current imperial family, and you are the only person suitable for it.”
When Jaden provoked a woman named Isabelle, she made no reply.
“…”
He just glared at Jayden, a knight wearing the same armor as himself, with his eyes narrowed.
And despite such a cold stare, Jaden’s mouth curled up.
“Kuh-kuh…Anyway, you can’t hide your feelings.”
It was as if I couldn’t help but enjoy seeing Isabelle like that. And Isabelle, who noticed that, licked her lips calmly and lightly.
“Sir Jayden. Do you have common sense to think that this situation makes sense?”
“It’s no use telling me that it’s common sense, Isabelle. After all, being a golden knight is just a shield that must follow the orders of the imperial family.”
Took.
When Jaden gave a leisurely answer while fixing his fancy scabbard, Isabelle gnashed her teeth involuntarily.
Aduk… !
Even though he could hear her grinding her teeth, Jaden was unfazed.
Despite the obvious hostile gaze, Jaden just smiled leisurely.
The current situation was simple.
Despite the overwhelming status and uniqueness of the golden knights, they all had to follow the orders of the imperial family, and they could be called the ‘shield of the empire’ with symbolism and the most practical power.
It was not the ‘sword’ of the Empire.
As such, their most important role as the shield of the empire is to protect the current royal family. Clearly, that was not an easy position to take on.
Their status was higher than that of outstanding knights in the Imperial Knights, and they were in a position that few knights dared to look up to.
However, Isabelle’s heart was boiling before entering the portal.
—-It was only one day.
own belongings,
And an absurdly short time for the time when the mission was reversed. Her destiny has changed.
From a meaningful golden knight who had to protect the noble and outstanding royal family, to a sudden golden knight who had to protect the common people of the academy… .
For her, that time was too short and too sudden.
ha. Then, Isabelle, who suddenly had eyes close to resignation, opened her mouth weakly.
“……Get out of the way. We must go now.”
“Yes, let’s go. I’m here to see you off too, so don’t be so heartbroken.”
Even though Jayden smiled slightly at him, Isabelle glared at him coldly.
Chubuck.
Even after going to the portal, Isabelle was still unresolved.
The irrationality of reality that we have no choice but to accept.

Just yesterday, no matter how hard she tried to resist, she was crushed by an authority she could not deny. That is, the situation was decided even though the family she had was by no means a half-way family or a family without a legacy.
The real power of the royal family was such an irresistible force, and even though the other golden knights were assigned, their families and skills were never subordinate to her, so they were assigned that way.
So it was a really simple decision.
—-The Golden Knight with the lowest seniority, yet inexperienced, should be assigned this mission.
Even the gender wasn’t that important to it.
Chubuck.
That’s when Isabelle slowly passed Jayden.
…Jaden suddenly spoke.
“Well, they say that the cadets you have to protect are very good, so don’t be too skewed. If an apostle is aiming so tenaciously, then there must be some reason.”
The voice that continued like that had a serious voice unlike a smirk.
glimpse. Isabelle, who had eyes for Jaden, nodded slightly.
“yes. I know.”
Even though she still responded coldly, Isabelle also received a lot of information about the existence she had to protect over the past day.
And I read it over and over again to understand it.
She already realized that no matter how much she denied reality or didn’t want to accept it, she had to do it.
and the result.
She knew that the person she had to protect was not a worthless person.
Took.
Standing in front of such a portal, the person in charge of the imperial portal slowly filled out Isabelle’s documents and started operating the portal as it was.
Woooooo!
A mighty light shone on the huge golden circular altar, creating a passage to the academy in the distance.
“The preparation of the portal is complete. Sir Isabelle.”
The person in charge of the portal cautiously spoke and gestured, and Isabelle followed the instructions and just before entering the portal… she stopped walking.
“…”
Her hesitation was not because she had never experienced portals or was inexperienced. I’ve already used the imperial portal a few times.
However, if you enter this portal now, you do not know how much time you will spend in the future.
Because even the period of time was written in the written document that it was undecided.
“ha… … .”
Isabelle let out a big sigh and eventually stepped into the portal.
Flash!
Then, with the light above the altar absorbing her, Isabelle disappeared.
After about 3 minutes, when the person in charge of the portal stopped working, he repaired the altar, and Jaden, who was staring at it, nodded lightly.
“It’s agar… .”
Took.

Jaden spat out the name after disappearing because it was Isabelle. He completely erased the softness and composure of before he knew it.
“I don’t know.”
With a cold and cold expression, he mumbled the name several more times, not knowing the truth.
It is also a name that is the first one to hear, but it cannot be denied that it is a commoner without a last name.
However, a golden knight was assigned as an escort knight. Originally, a golden knight who should live the most proud life protecting only the royal family… .
This in itself was an impossibility, and it could be said that it was an unprecedented case.

Jaden was realizing that the situation itself was completely abnormal.
There is someone behind this.
“But what kind of royal family… would make such a decision?”
While muttering coldly, Jayden made an extremely strange remark about the imperial family. A remark like a challenge to the authority of the imperial family.
Startle.
Even though the portal manager who was sitting there gave him a surprised look, Jaden did not hold back.
“Could the royal family in the academy have interfered?”

Jayden spat out strange words and slowly turned around and started to leave.
***
The academy’s infirmary.
After lunch, Carly left the infirmary, and outside visits were naturally blocked.
And this environment was quite familiar to nature.
“Whoa.”
It was like deja vu as I let out a short breath.
It feels like a situation that has happened in the past. If anything else, there were two other people in the infirmary now that weren’t there then.
Karite, who is not yet conscious.
Leonhard calms himself in a sitting posture as if he is in meditation.
I gently checked the two of them and looked out the window.
it’s blue
Unlike yesterday’s terrible tragedy, the sky outside the window was blue and clear. And even when I saw it, only stupid laughter leaked out.
Seruk.
I only moved my arm gently, but the pain came like a creak.
You can feel the pain with just this amount of movement, but if you move bigger, incomparable pain will come to your whole body.
As I expressed my openness, I naturally expected that there would be some kind of aftershock, but there was also a big strain on my body.
“Cadets of Han Chun-seong. Because you can’t overdo it. Don’t think about anything else right now.”
Then I turned my head at the resolute voice I heard.
“Instructor Adelia. I’m going to get some rest, so don’t worry.”
“I just need to know. And as I said before, until tomorrow, you have to be really careful about your little actions. You can recover quickly with the potion’s effect, so don’t overdo it.”
The resoluteness in Adelia’s eyes. I just nodded my head without the slightest resistance.
After looking at her for a moment, my heart suddenly moved.
The meeting with the Golden Knight, who will come soon, I couldn’t erase my worries about it.
“…Instructor Adelia. Do you know about the Golden Knight?”
When I asked cautiously, Adelia, who opened her eyes wide, burst into laughter.
“I know. Oh, did you already hear from Kali instructor that Cadet Han Chun-seong is coming as an escort?”
“Yes… I heard. It’s just that I’m not sure how to treat him.”
Even talking about it, I really felt that way.
I was able to prepare for the characters and situations that have appeared in the works so far.
Even if that wasn’t the case, at that moment I was able to get my head in order.
However, the golden knight is like a completely separate existence.
“Galpira… well. I think it’s okay to just show Cadet Han Chun-seong as he is?”
“Even if you say it as it is… .”
“I don’t think Cadet Han Chun-seong would be rude or do anything clumsy when dealing with the Golden Knight. Then I think the golden knight will understand. Considering their level, power, and family, all of them are good people.”
Adelia’s calm reply seemed like catching a floating cloud.
And, look, Carly said something similar.
Golden Knights are really great beings in many ways.
“…Is it really okay to show myself as I am now?”
“sure. I think I can make a good enough impression if I am a Cadet Han Chun-seong.”
Adelia’s lightly smiling face put her heart at ease, but she was determined.
‘Let’s not be rude.’
That’s when I made up my mind that I had to treat the golden knight who would come to me with the appearance of a polite and upright cadet.
smart.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door.
