Interlude I: Of Gods and Men

“Hmm... I think he’s in the wrong here. You have nothing to apologize for.”

“I-I know, right?!”

“Quite right. Put another way, this just shows how little faith he has in you. In other words, he doesn’t trust you. He can’t believe in you because he thinks that if he were in your shoes, that’s what he’d do. He knows he’d definitely fail in your position, so how could he trust you?”

“You’re right... I think this helped clear up my doubts. I’ll break up with him. I can’t be with someone who doesn’t trust me.”

“Yes, I agree, that would be for the best. There are plenty of good men out there to choose from.”

“Yes! Thank you very much, Lady Karen!” The female knight rose from her seat, bowing her head respectfully as she left the room. Karen saw her off with a wave of the hand.

This gazebo-like structure at the corner of the training grounds was a popular relaxation spot among the female knights. Come noon, they could be seen carrying their lunches there.

However, on occasion Karen could be found seated there. At those times, the gazebo became a refuge where the troubled sought advice. Though it went without saying, her advice extended to romance-related topics only.

While it was women that mostly sought her counsel, at times men approached her for advice as well. That should come as no surprise, for love troubled all without regard for gender. But to receive advice from the Goddess of Love herself was something one could normally only dream of.

“I should think eavesdropping is unbecoming of a king.”

“Ha, so you did notice me.” I revealed myself, lifting my [Invisible] spell. Her expression was so earnest that it piqued my interest somewhat.

“You take giving advice more seriously than I’d have thought.”

“This is my area of expertise, after all. Knowing what one desires, what advice they wish to hear, is second nature to the Goddess of Love.” Karen puffed up in pride.

“Hmm? So what you just said there wasn’t really your opinion?”

“Of course it wasn’t. Well, to be quite honest, I don’t know if it justified breaking up, but that was what she wanted. She simply couldn’t bring herself to go through with it. I merely gave her the push she needed.”

Is that really okay...? But, well, when people seek advice, they’ve already found their answers within themselves. They simply wish for someone to judge and reinforce those answers. And through that, they can affirm they’re not mistaken. Maybe that’s all that love advice really boils down to. There isn’t a single, correct answer. It all comes down to the person in question.

“The order here has many female knights, which means just as many troubled hearts. Though that includes the men, as well.”

“You don’t say? So that makes you something of the counselor here, doesn’t it?” Roughly thirty percent of our knight order were married. Those were mostly soldiers given to us by Eashen, originally Takeda shinobi under Tsubaki’s command, in addition to men under the command of the Takeda Elite Four.
