Chapter 6 - Reincarnation Part 4

In the first place, this man and Roy were in sync with each other, and after graduating from the military academy, they started working in the royal palace together and got to know each other. Dane had no acquaintance with Roy.

He was assigned as a guard guarding the royal family, and Roy was in the position of leading the viceroy's sword. However, in one incident, Roy was overthrown and forced out of the royal palace.

It was later discovered that he was slandered, but it seems that Roy, once defeated, had no new officers.

Maybe he felt sorry for Roy, he invited Roy more often than when he worked at the castle, and he bought him a drink and listened to the current situation.

Not only that, but until I retired, he recommended Roy to the kettle... That's an exaggeration... It's something that can't be measured by years of goodwill feelings as friends.

"Oh ... I retired ... I have never ... I retired due to poor physical condition, so on the surface, I have to be silent ... To be honest, next to me have been invited to the royal palace of Katsu ... No matter how many trades now, the guard captain Kanur has quit because I was appointed as the guard captain of the previous enemy country, Katsu. There is absolutely no other word! ...

"That's why you're not… but you're smoldering with talent, so it's not a problem for me… so it's natural to aim for the top, right? Of course, the salary has greatly increased, and even the title of Viscount is bestowed, so there's no reason not to accept it."

Dane was traumatized as if he remembered, but while explaining why he had given Roy the active position, he drank the glass the waiter had just brought over.

Perhaps he was watching Roy and heeding his words so as not to give him as much grace.

The Roy family were nobles of the old family and inherited a position close to the royal family.

His grandfather was a former elder, his father was Minister of State at the time, and his son Roy was expected to take political positions, but Roy had a talent for the sword and was a good leader from an early age. After being trained, he went to the royal palace and was asked to play the role of the sword of the next king, the first prince.

Of course, he was an elite, but he was not a key figure in the government, so he was unaware of the central shackles and was expelled from the castle with the death of his father, the Minister of State.

Having a vast land that has been passed down from generation to generation, he is not satisfied with his life, which can be said to be a habitat.

Dane, on the other hand, came from the private sector and possessed excellent swordsmanship, but was not originally blessed with an important position due to his family background.

At that time, Roy summoned Dane, a sentry guard who was a warrior graduate, to the royal palace to act as a partner for sword skill instruction to the princes, and to take care of him while away. appealed to Dane's superiority to the royal palace.

I don't know if it was effective, but at the same time that Dane was appointed captain of the first guard at the young age of 30, he was given the title of Baron for one generation only.

I don't know if he tried to return the favor at the time, but it looks like the Dane himself could be promoted, and Roy would be very happy to accept the new captaincy if nothing else was like this.

"Okay... Full-time guards work for 9 hours from 8 am to 5 pm. But well, don't leave so early, guards who go to work at 8 will take over with night shift soldiers, but currently, the captain who is the boss should show up. To the captain, I was so busy serving tea and getting in a good mood that I couldn't take over...

"The captain goes to work… right… around 10 o'clock… I sometimes go to work and immediately take a lunch break… soldiers take turns during lunch break, but the captain's break time is set from 12:00 to 13:00. the royal palace, which is surrounded by high walls and has tight security, and the captain has nothing to do in the morning...

"Then, it's the first day, so it's around 8.30. I know what you want to check… but don't be too early… take it easy. It's only in the afternoon that the night shift daily reports and transfer contents will appear, so if you read them, you've already finished most of the day's work. Well, it's hard to resist sleepiness in my spare time, but I'm sorry for the soldiers on duty, so it's better not to just sleep in the stuffing station... because it will soon get a bad reputation. ...

"If you pay attention to that, it's an easy job... The captain..."

Dane, who became drunk and suspicious of me, said that it was an important note about the captain of the Guards. I wanted to wonder why he gave me such a great job, but he said he wasted his help, and he answered all of them.

Still, Roy, worried and serious, was quite drunk and arrived at the royal palace at 7:00 the next day, an hour earlier than work time.

If you haven't taken over as captain of the guard, you still have time to take over the guard of the royal palace, but since this is an important coronation of the successor, you shouldn't make a mistake. When I saw it, I apologized to Dane for recommending me, so I thought I'd do an environmental inspection in the first place.

However, the inside of the royal palace was deserted, and no guards were found... Roy, with Dane's suggestion, asked a soldier who knew the gates of the royal palace to make it as comfortable as possible and stopped contacting the guards. accepted.

Usually, as soon as the captain arrives, the guards guarding the royal palace will be contacted, and the task will immediately report the work situation to the station, but also the time before the transfer, so I will not stop at the station and take over myself. He refused the gatekeeper because he would contact the soldiers when the time came and entered the castle alone.

There was a strange uproar, and I immediately ran.

The king's chamber is currently on the 3rd floor which is the deepest part of the royal palace and is safe because the palace garrison is always on guard.

Guards are units that report directly to the king, preventing intruders from entering the royal palace and fighting rebels in case of rebellion. It was the Royal Guard, an elite troop.

This was the real reason why Dane said it was easy to be the captain of the Guards.

********

The guards guarded the front of the royal palace, and although they were an elite force, they were not related to the royal family to protect themselves.

However, once the rebellion occurs, the guards will take the lead in fighting the rebels ... that is, they are the first to fight the enemy forces that attack the royal palace, but talk directly to the royal family.

But today is different... because the next king, who celebrates the coronation, has a ceremony to spend the night away from the royal palace and cleanse himself.
