Chapter 3: A Promising New Recruit

After that, we brought Leobolt over to see Commander Bolton.

“Well, looks like you really are the Leobolt Alexandre.” The Commander, seated in his office at the guard station, addressed Leobolt with a murmur. The crest-emblazoned scabbard had been placed on his desk.

“What exactly is goin’ through that head of yours that makes you want to join the Guard Corps, though? You’re the eldest son of a noble house.”

“It’s just as I explained previously,” Leobolt responded politely, placing a hand to his chest. “Your royal capital houses the Orb of Light, which seals the Demon King. I may be the eldest son of the House of Alexandre, but first and foremost I am a man who loves peace. Should the orb be stolen, our world would fall into the hands of the demons. I would like to be a part of preventing that from happening.” His gaze, as clear as a cloudless day, was straightforward and firm.

“Have you told your family already?”

“I have—though they were strongly opposed. They insist I have a duty to be successor to the House and protect our own territory. But that’s because my father is only concerned with the interests of the House. He prioritizes protection of our territory over all else—be it the Kingdom of Silvesta or the entire world,” Leobold explained.

He then paused and shook his head. “No, that’s not quite right. It’s more than just my father in the wrong. Our neighboring kingdoms are no different; even though the Demon King would be resurrected if the Orb of Light were seized, they merely stand by and leave our kingdom with this most difficult of responsibilities. They all feign ignorance out of fear that they’ll sustain their own losses if they dare meddle—though by all rights this problem is one that all of humanity should be working together to deal with.”

It was plain how indignant he was based on his harsh tone of voice. It must have been impossible for him to stomach.

“Well, there are some people in those other countries who just plain don’t believe us. They think we made up the whole thing about the Demon King being sealed in the orb,” Commander Bolton replied.

“It’s quite simple to confirm that the legends of the Orb of Light are true. One need only consult their histories and literature. Their ignorance is a natural consequence of those in power putting their own kingdoms above all else.”

“So how did you deal with their objections?”

“I concluded it would be impossible to convince my father, so I set out alone. In essence, I’ve been exiled from the House of Alexandre.”

“Oh, you’ve gotta be kiddin’ me...” The commander put a palm to his forehead in frustration.

Leobolt had given up his status as the heir to his noble family to come to the royal capital all by himself. It was an act that could only be described as sheer lunacy—though he did want to join the Astaroth Guard Corps to protect the Orb of Light, and that itself was a perfectly respectable motivation.
