I'm a very forgiving person, I really am; but... there are somethings even I can't digest without a qualm; such as knowing that Fredurd was appointed to be my personal knight not because he was promoted, but because he was demoted.
I could no longer maintain the smile on my face when I heard Fredurd's words.
".......What did you just say?" I asked in a slow foreboding voice.
"I was punished to be the first Queen's personal knight. Whuwaaaaa!" He repeated again and the words almost pierced through my poor heart.
"....It was a punishment?....."
"Yes Your Highness, at first I thought it was ridiculous that I was appointed as your personal sworn knight as my punishment, it seemed more like a promotion to me as well. But after I met you, I finally understood that it really was meant to be a punishment(Sob, sob~)."
I wonder why I had the sudden murderous urge to throttle someone.
