I Became a Genius Commander at the Academy - Chapter 137

EP.137

Although I had the justification that I had no choice but to help Charlotte, I was worried inside.

Because I promised to have dinner with Laura at 7 o’clock today, but it was almost 8 o’clock when I arrived home.

“As a woman like Charlotte, can you tell me what to do in times like this?”

When I asked that, she looked like she was worried for a moment, but then answered in a bright voice.

“I think it would be a good idea to tell Lieutenant Colonel Laura honestly about the situation. I am sure he will understand, as he often helps his subordinates who are in difficult situations. master.”

Laura also sometimes went to help officers who had supported the Marquis of Venner’s family for generations.

So, let’s say I helped Charlotte, who was always by my side, assisting with administrative tasks and waiting on me.

There must be room for consideration since helping a woman who is like a vassal of mine is something a noble should do.

Then, Laura will see it as just a few words of complaint.

“And I will tell you the situation as soon as I go in. “Thanks to my master’s help, I was able to avoid the crisis.”

As we continued talking like this, we arrived at the door of the dinner room.

When I opened the door and entered, Laura looked at me with an expression full of dissatisfaction and asked in an ice-cold voice.

“Director Jaeger, you didn’t have much planned today, so why are you so late?”

“Oh, that’s it…”

“You didn’t forget the promise you made to spend time together starting at 7pm today, right?”

While I was confused by those words, Charlotte answered with a bright smile.

“In fact, he made a contribution to the war from the morning, and in the process, he visited and helped those who were injured one by one. Then, with some time left, the owner came to the house where I lived. At that time, loan sharks showed up at our house demanding that we hand over the money they had borrowed, and the owner himself pulled out a knife and chased them all out.”

Laura withdrew her anger towards me after hearing those words, but instead looked at Charlotte with suspicious eyes.

She continued to look at me with longing eyes, as if she were a hero.

“Then, to help with my difficult family situation, he said he would move us into the house we used to live in and that he would even help my younger brother enter the academy. “Because something like that happened, you were a little late.”

“is it? Then, I don’t know how long I will be able to work as an exclusive maid from now on. “Do your best to repay the favor.”

“Yes, if you allow it, I plan to repay you by staying by my master’s side for the rest of my life.”

For a moment, it felt like a spark was flying between the two, but I guess it was just my mood, right?

Anyway, I was about to order the food to be served when I heard the butler’s voice outside the door.

“Lieutenant Colonel Kergit came outside the Viscount with a gift. What should I do? “Can I ask you to wait until you finish eating?”

Actually, since I’m eating with Laura, I could have asked her to wait, but Anya is my subordinate who will be with me for a long time anyway.

Since we already made enough meals anyway, it wouldn’t be a big problem if there were one more person to eat.

Besides, it’s a bit awkward to leave someone who even brought a gift waiting.

“Can I bring Laura Anya to eat with us?”

“You said you brought a gift, so I can’t help it. Instead, you have to hang out late tonight.”

“okay.”

…. These days, His Majesty the Emperor and His Royal Highness the Marquis of Venner are putting pressure on me to have a successor as soon as possible, so I’m having a hard time competing with Laura in intense sports competitions every day.

Seeing the fire in my eyes, I feel like it will be difficult for me to sleep comfortably.

When the food was almost ready, the door opened and Anya, who had been promoted to lieutenant colonel, came in holding two leather coats and a wine bottle in her hands.

“Major Jaeger, Lieutenant Colonel Laura, I’m sorry for coming suddenly without contacting you. However, the members of our archery cavalry unit asked us to quickly convey this to the two people who are indebted to us.”

“No, thank you for coming. “Anyway, what kind of coat is that? Both colors are black, but one has a white band and two red lines on the right shoulder.”

“Ah, the one with the lines on it is the coat I will give to the director. In our tribe, we have a custom of decorating the leather clothes worn by the strongest warrior and chief of the tribe that way. Even though you are not our tribal leader, you helped us prepare a home for the northerners.”

Certainly, thanks to my petition to the military to ask for paddy fields, saying that the land where northerners had settled was so small that there was no land to cultivate properly.

Although the warriors’ tribes and families were granted additional territory to raise livestock and farm.

After saying that, Anya came up behind me and put a coat for a tribal leader on me as if covering me.

“You look really good together. Originally, only the best warriors of the tribe could wear this coat, but it may be because the warden is someone who will rise to the highest level of marshal among the empire’s soldiers in the future. “You look so good and cool.”

Come to think of it, when Marshal Adelheit reaches retirement age at the end of next year or early the next year and retires, Marquis Benner will probably take over as marshal.

Since you are not very young, you can come down after about 3 years.

I wonder who will be my next enemy.

First of all, no matter how quickly I am promoted, I will have to cut off 2 or 3 more heads to become a commander-in-chief in the future.

It is at least 10 years and there may be no enemies.

“I’ll wear it often from now on. “It’s pretty comfortable.”

When I said that, Anya smiled brightly, looked at me, and said.

“The coat was made by other tribe members, but the armband-like pattern on the right side was something I often knitted with thread when I had time after work. “I hope that I can continue to serve under you in the future.”

If possible, I also think it would be nice to continue to fight with Lieutenant Colonel Anya and his cavalry cavalry.

Because during the last Battle of Crecy, our brigade did not have the authority to move independently, so we could not actively use archers.

If you go by division, you can unconditionally set up a camp in an independent location if you want, even in a battle where tens of thousands of enemies and allies are tangled together.

You can put them in a position where you can utilize them to their full potential and ravage the knights and infantry like crazy.

“Lieutenant Colonel Kergit will also be promoted soon, so he will be a regiment commander. Then wouldn’t it be difficult to serve in the same place as the major general?”

“Lieutenant Colonel Laura, our Major General will have been promoted to Lieutenant General by then and will command tens of thousands of troops. And I believe that the person who can best use our archers and me, Anastasia Kergit, is Director Peter Jaeger.”

“no. “If you are a lieutenant colonel, you can perform well under any command.”

After saying that, Laura puffed out her cheeks a little and came closer to me, entangling my right arm and pressing her chest against me.

Anya saw that and directed her gaze toward my remaining left arm.

On the other hand, I don’t know what Charlotte was thinking, but before she knew it, she brought a tea pot and poured tea into Laura Anya’s teacup.

After pouring tea into my cup, he said with a disappointed expression.

“Wait a moment, master. “There’s something that fell over there, so I’ll pick it up.”

After asking for my understanding, Charlotte stood to the left of my chair and bent down to pick up something that had fallen on the floor to the right.

Because of the location, her breasts momentarily blocked my view.

She calmly picked up the item as if she didn’t care at all, then gently ran her long hair over with her right hand and stood up.

“I saw that 1 silver had fallen out of my master’s wallet, so I picked it up.”

“Thank you.”

“No. “It is my role to help my master at any time.”

Laura and Anya looked at Charlotte, who was smiling brightly, with powerful and scary eyes.

Anyway, the meal was served soon after, and Anya, Laura, and I forgot the awkward atmosphere for a while and had fun talking about all kinds of topics.

Daily life in the military, such as gossiping with superiors of newly deployed units during crises such as the Battle of Hattin Forest and the Battle of Crecy Plain.

So Anya left with a promise that she would come to my house often from now on and ask me if there was anything I didn’t know.

Laura looked at me, smiled an eerily bright but deep smile, and sat down on my lap.

Then he pressed his body against my upper body and kissed my cheek before saying.

“Because it is His Majesty’s edict, you will not be put to sleep tonight. And I also really want to have your child.”

With that said, I had such an intense night that I forgot what had happened until the next morning.

As a side note, perhaps because of the aftereffects of the memory-fading memory, I sprained my back the next day and was unable to go out.
