Pseudo-Villaines

The Day of Departure Expedition

Kalina and Ulrich were in a park outside the city walls. The park is safe as it is guarded by many knights. It is only natural to remember this park is a place of recreation of the nobles and the rich people.

It was difficult to obtain the permission of count Lesko so that Kalina could study outside. But he managed to convince count Lesko after three days of trying it. On this very day, Karina Lesko, Kalina's older sister, will set out on a mission.

It was still early in the morning, so the park was still quiet. Even though Ulrich said studying, he actually just wanted Kalina to have fun. Automatically, no lessons today.

Kalina ran around here and there. Chasing butterflies of various colors that had perched on his nose. The breeze gently blew, making her lavender hair waving.

The flowers in the garden sway, attracting the bees to suck their nectar.

All this calmness was finally sidetracked when the sound of a running horse rang out. The knights who were there did not try to block him. It was because a knight with elegant armor was riding on the horse.

Once in the park, the horse stopped and the rider got off. The curious Kalina tried to find out who the rider was, which made her eyes wide open happy.

"Sister Karina!! Welcome!"

Kalina ran towards Karina Lesko, her older sister. He then threw himself into Karina's arms, which he happily greeted.

"Karina, welcome back. I apologize for rarely playing with you. How are you?"

Kalina rubbed her head against Karina's chest happily. During this time, Karina was the only big sister who cared about her. He felt lonely when Karina started to play with him infrequently.

"Yes! I'm doing fine! Thank you for coming here! Come on, play with me!"

Kalina smiled gently as she rubbed her sweet little sister's head. He then felt the presence of someone behind Kalina. It turned out that that person was Ulrich, Kalina's guidance teacher. The young man calmly bowed his body to give his greetings and respect.

Karina smiled back. After that, he spent time with Kalina to play. They play chases. Karina chased after Kalina who was laughing happily and caught her. Sometimes contrary. Kalina is after Karina.

They play until they are satisfied until Kalina is exhausted and falls asleep. Looking at her sleeping sister, Karina gave a small laugh and carried her to where Ulrich was sitting.

"Ulrich, right? I want to thank you for accompanying Kalina. Thanks very much. As a big brother, I was so happy when someone was guiding him."

Karina reached out to shake hands. Ulrich looks shocked. The treatment he received was very different from the treatment he received from count Lesko.

Karina smiled. He explained that he had been working with commoners for a long time. Therefore, his treatment with Ulrich was somewhat different. Thanks to that, Ulrich did not hesitate to shake hands with him.

"You don't need to thank me, Miss Karina. I was honored when the young lady accepted me as her tutor. She is a special girl. Intelligent, enthusiastic, and very easy to absorb new sciences."

"Is that? Thank goodness it was like that. Kalina is a lonely girl. Although he gets whatever he wants, his father, mother, and brother are rarely present with him when he needs affection.

"Kalina is indeed a spoiled and arrogant child, but her heart is very soft. It's very easy to be full. He's a really good and great kid. As a brother, I am proud of him.

"Ah, I'm sorry for talking too much. In essence, I hope that you continue to accompany and guide this child. At least as long as I'm on a mission in a long time, she's not lonely."

There was a bitter smile on Karina's lips. Ulrich who heard this shook his head and smiled. He stared at the slumber of Kalina's sleeping face. After that, he said something to convince Karina.

This time a calm smile rose on Karina's extremely beautiful face. Thanking Ulrich, he woke up the sleeping Kalina until the little girl woke up.

"Kalina, sister is leaving today. Take care of yourself and don't be naughty, okay?"

Kalina nodded. He then offered his little finger to Karina while holding back a cry.

"Nee~ big brother, promise me to come back."

Karina linked her little finger to her little brother's pinky. Both promises are formed. Saying thank you again, he left the park, it was time to leave.

Ulrich and Kalina looked at Karina who was away until she was no longer visible to the eye.

***

At the capital's knight headquarters, the knights had gathered and marched. They numbered 80 people. There are four captains who will be sent for the expedition mission this time, where each captain is in charge of 20 people.

"The mission of this expedition is confidential. The other knights have no idea what mission we are on and what the purpose is. No reinforcements will come. Each of you must complete the mission successfully, understand!?"

""""YES SIR!!"""""

the voices of the knights echoed. Today the headquarters were empty, so there was no problem if they shouted. After the temporary direction, the knights were disbanded and the four captains who had been appointed gathered before the knight commander.

The captains were Jeanne, Hanna Otylia, Karin Lesko, and Szymon Krzys. They were a new light in the knight's body due to his undoubted ability despite his young age.

"The journey from Krakov city to the border will take 21 days. It could be more if there is something beyond calculation. Your job is to infiltrate the Principality of Danzig and monitor their movements. Understood?"

Fourthly nodded. The knight commander just said that, then left.

"Hey, Jeanne. Once the expedition is complete, prepare yourself. I will come to you and make you my woman."

Hearing Szymon's shameless words, Hanna and Karina furrowed their brows. Disgust and disgust were reflected in their expressions. While Jeanne, she just put on her poker face expression.

"Don't listen to him, Jeanne. There are many other men who are more worthy of you. Krzys is definitely not one of them."

Karina patted Jeanne's shoulder. Well, they're good friends. Just like Hanna, Karina was a bit of a person that Jeanne regarded as a friend.

"That's right Jeanne. That narcissist is totally unworthy of you!"

Jeanne laughed a little. There are probably more men who are suitable for him. But for Jeanne, only one man deserves to be with her.

'true. No one is worthy. The only one worthy of me is that he is. Not the others.'
