Su Cheng looked down, silent and pale.
Su Cheng's reaction was as Jacob expected - he was stunned and speechless.
Jacob asked himself that if he exchanged himself with Su Cheng, his reaction would be the same as Su Cheng, even more exaggerated than Su Cheng.
However, Jacob's intuition told him that Su Cheng didn't seem to be pale just because he was elected as the new head of Michael's knights.
Su Cheng seems to be pale because of something else.
But... Jacob also thought it didn't matter, and he didn't do more, he thought.
Jacob didn't make any more noise. He drank the black tea in the cup silently, and kept the silence between them, silently waiting for Su Cheng to speak.
I don't know how long it took.
It seems to be a few minutes, or just ten seconds. In short, Jacob, who is also very confused, doesn't know how long it took. Su Cheng finally said:
"... Mr. Jacob... Can I refuse to become the new head of Michael's knights... I think I'm still too young to bear such an important task..."
"... Mr. Cheng." Jacob put down his black tea and said expressionless, "I'm sorry, don't forget your identity. Are you a knight of the British Empire? Do you think it is possible for you to refuse the appointment and task of the Central Committee? If everyone could bargain with the central government, our Empire would be in chaos. "
"That means I can't refuse... Also, the Central Committee is not my home. How can I accept the tasks and appointments sent by the Central Committee if I want to, or if I don't want to..."
Su Cheng, who had been pale and expressionless, smiled a few times and then said in a half joking tone:
"Mr. Jacob, let me tell you something that may be impolite. When I was at home just now, when I received your call, I knew there would be no good. Now it seems that it's not surprising... "
"The new head of Michael knights and the top leader of the northern front... Spare me, I was just a carefree civilian in the first half of last year. In the past more than one year, I was going to become the head of one of the three major Knights of the Empire, And the northern front... Spare me... How can I have such ability... "
Su Cheng, who lowered his head deeply, put his left hand on his left knee and scratched his hair with his right hand.
Because Su Cheng lowered his head deeply, Jacob couldn't see Su Cheng clearly.
Looking at Su Cheng, Jacob couldn't help saying:
"... don't be so pessimistic. You've just been added to the list of candidates. Whether you can succeed in becoming the new head of the Michael Knights depends on the results of the round table meeting that officially starts tomorrow. So you still have a great possibility that you will not be elected the new head of Michael's knights. After all, it is impossible for everyone to feel like me that you will be qualified for the position of head of Michael's knights. "
Jacob didn't know why he said that.
Seeing Su Cheng's panic and bewilderment, Jacob couldn't help saying these words to Su Cheng.
Maybe... I can't bear it... I want to comfort Su Cheng as much as possible.
"I called you here today just to tell you about it and make you mentally prepared." Jacob continued in a deep voice, "... My words have been finished. Mr. Cheng, you can go back now. Of course, you can choose to stay here and drink more tea before you go. "
"... no, Mr. Jacob."
Su Cheng, who had been burying his head low, raised his head at this time.
Although his face was still a little pale, a faint smile appeared on his face at this time.
"My mind is very confused now. I plan to go home and have a good quiet and clear my mind now."
After saying this, Su Cheng stood up.
"I'll go first, Mr. Jacob..."
Just as Su Cheng was about to go to Jacob's room door and open Jacob's room door——
"Mr. Cheng..."
——Jacob, who was still sitting in his chair, suddenly shouted to Su Cheng.
"You..." Jacob's eyes changed a little, a little less sharp and firm, and a little more ashamed, "hate me...?"
"Do you hate me for recommending you, adding you to the list of candidates, and trying to help you win the position of head of Michael's knights in this upcoming round table?"
Jacob, who was also very confused, couldn't help asking Su Cheng.
“……”
Su Cheng, who had put his hand on the doorknob and turned his back to Jacob, was silent.
Silent, do not know how long, a few minutes? Or ten seconds? Jacob didn't notice how long Su Cheng was silent.
Jacob only paid attention to Su Cheng's answer.
Finally, Su Cheng said:
"No, I don't hate you, Mr. Jacob."
Su Cheng took back the on the doorknob and turned back to look at Jacob with a smile on his face.
"At the end of last year, I went to acarreana, the 'hot spring capital' near Pendragon, with my sister and friends."
Su Cheng said in a relaxed and slow tone, while Jacob listened quietly without haste or impatience.
"After arriving at akanrea, the coachman who was responsible for carrying us to akanrea suddenly told me that he hoped I could refuel well. He said that it was the great fortune of the Empire to have people like me in such a bad situation of the British Empire."
"After hearing what the coachman said, I realized for the first time that as an imperial knight, I had multiple responsibilities... As an imperial knight, I shoulder the heavy responsibility of guarding the Empire and saving the empire from the current critical situation."
"In June this year, I received the task of the 'summer wind' offensive. When I sent troops from panderagon, a little girl gave me a gift, which was a back picture she painted herself."
"She gave me this painting because I saved her brother indirectly in the battle of Ellen ferry last year."
"When she gave me this gift, she also told me that she hoped I could save more people like saving her brother."
"This gift from the little girl and her words made me more aware of the responsibilities borne on me. I shoulder the heavy responsibility of protecting all my subordinates and all citizens."
"More than a year ago, when I agreed to Mr. Jacob's request and became a knight, I actually agreed to you with a playful attitude, because at that time, I felt very happy in the process of commanding troops and thinking about tactics. I wanted to go on to the battlefield."
"But now, thanks to the coachman and the little girl, I have become more and more aware of my responsibilities. It is my responsibility to be loyal to the Empire, listen to the orders of the Empire and protect the people. I understand how heavy the responsibility is on me. I won't go to the battlefield with a playful attitude like before. "
"So I don't blame you or resent you, Mr. Jacob. It's normal to think that someone is competent for a task and then let that person complete the task. "
"It is my duty as a knight to listen to the appointment of the Empire, accept the tasks of the Empire and complete the tasks of the Empire."
"I will fulfill my responsibility!"
Su Cheng paused when he said this.
A firm color gradually appeared on his face.
"Until death!"
——Then he said so forcefully.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
Su Cheng looked down, silent and pale.
Su Cheng's reaction was as Jacob expected - he was stunned and speechless.
