Chapter 3: Behind the Daily Life

Stewart Huguenot was the eldest son of the Huguenot family, one of the three duke families of the Beltrum Kingdom. He was also the former heir of the family.

He had been disinherited after an incident in Amande where he had gotten drunk and caused trouble for Rio, which in turn had angered his father, Duke Huguenot. Now, his little brother had taken over the position of heir, and he was just a low-ranking knight of the Restoration.

It was the middle of the day at the Galarc Castle.

“Hah...”

Stewart was on duty patrolling the castle grounds. In contrast to the sunny sky, his sigh was heavy and gloomy. He couldn’t help feeling listless. Every time he passed the Galarc knights on patrol, that feeling increased.

The reason behind that feeling was Stewart’s inferiority complex towards the Galarc knights.

“Guh...”

A weak and cowardly knight that fled from Rodania as it fell. He couldn’t help the feeling that all the Galarc knights were thinking that as they sent him looks of disdain. Thus, each time he came across a knight of Galarc, he sped up his walking pace.

This is humiliating. Why should I be doing this as a high ranking noble...?

Even the knight uniform of the Restoration was embarrassing to wear. The reason why he felt this way was probably because he himself would think this way if the positions were reversed.

Wouldn’t it have been better to stay in Rodania as a prisoner of honor?

Such thoughts flashed through his mind.

No, there’s no guarantee they would have kept everyone alive.

He recalled the battlefield at that time and immediately corrected himself. When the Arbor army was attacking, Stewart was on duty protecting the city. But when he witnessed Renji use a single attack to freeze over a hundred Aerial Knights, he completely lost the will to fight. That was when he had decided on evacuating on an enchanted airship. If he were to return to that moment now, he would still choose to evacuate.

Besides, I’m the oldest son of the Huguenot family. Who knows what would have happened if the Arbors caught me...

The justification for his evacuation was his family’s status. He convinced himself out of self-interest that he couldn’t be captured as the heir of the Huguenot family.

However, that decision was now spurring on Stewart’s sense of guilt. With every passing moment, he questioned whether his decision was truly correct.

“Brother.”

Just then, someone called out to Stewart mid-patrol. Their voice had a mocking tone to it, as though they were looking down on him.

“Pierre.” Stewart turned back with a look of disgust as he called the name of his younger brother by two years, Pierre Huguenot. The one who gained the right to succeed the Huguenot family after Stewart was disinherited.

“How unsightly. As a member of the Huguenot family, you should be walking with your head held high. What are you so ashamed of?” Pierre asked, seeing right through the sense of inferiority Stewart was carrying. It seemed they weren’t brothers for nothing.

“What
