Chapter 48.1
4. What Happened In The Duchy Of Diaz
A few days later.
The knights, having finished their training, returned to their quarters.
I, who had been buried in the office wrestling with paperwork, shot outside like an arrow.
“You’ve all worked hard today!”
I greeted them cheerfully in a loud voice.
Since the knights had finally opened up to me, I figured I’d get friendlier with them by making frequent appearances.
Perhaps thanks to my continuous efforts, the knights also responded with bright, smiling faces.
“Oh, Administrative Officer!”
“You must be working hard too, Administrative Officer.”
Hehe, hehehe, hehehehehe……
You wouldn’t believe how much time and perseverance it took for our knights to finally respond this gently!
Oh no, I’m so touched I think I might cry……
But then.
‘Huh?’
I suddenly furrowed my brows.
Wasn’t that our Azure Dawn Knights’ little baby squirrel… well, not quite.
Wasn’t that our cutie Sir Daniel, limping?!
“Sir Daniel!”
Startled almost to the point of fainting, I called out to him.
“What happened to your leg?!”
“Oh, this?”
Sir Daniel turned to me with a bright smile and responded nonchalantly.
“I twisted it a little during training earlier.”
“What? Then you should obviously get treatment…!”
Just as I was raising my voice without realizing it,
A sudden realization hit me, and I froze in place.
That’s right.
Come to think of it, our knight order still didn’t have a military doctor…
“Ah, it’s fine.”
Meanwhile, Sir Daniel gave an awkward laugh.
“It’s just a minor sprain. It’ll heal if I rest a bit.”
“No, still!”
I flared up, then soon let out a deep sigh and nodded.
“Alright. But at least until your leg fully heals, you should take a break from training. Got it?”
“Yes!”
Sir Daniel just kept smiling brightly, not knowing how worried I was.
Good grief, seriously.
How’s someone that sweet supposed to survive in this harsh world?!

And so, the present.
‘Hmmm.’
I was holed up in my office, deeply lost in thought.
“Why haven’t I ever thought about having a military doctor until now?”
It was true.
Our knights were in charge of guarding the portals.
In other words, they were stationed at the most dangerous posts in the entire empire.
Thanks to the exceptional skills of our knights, we hadn’t had any injuries serious enough to require a military doctor—until now.
“But you never know what might happen.”
In the end, I couldn’t suppress my anger and gripped my pen tightly.
“No, but seriously, now that I think about it—this is kind of infuriating?!”
How could a knight order not have a single military doctor?!
