Two days ago.

October 19, 290 in the imperial calendar of the British Empire.

Britannian Empire, pandragon, Jacob's residence.

morning.

Jacob's room had a large French window.

When Jacob was in a bad mood or thinking about something, Jacob would pour a cup of black tea, stand in front of the landing ship and look out the window.

At this time, Jacob was holding a cup of boiled black tea, standing in front of the huge French window in front of his room, silently looking at the scenery outside the window.

Although the security in the imperial capital is almost exaggerated due to the upcoming round table meeting, and many citizens dare not go to the streets because they are afraid of patrols on the streets, the streets of the imperial capital are still crowded and crowded.

Jacob looked at the scenery outside the window without expression. He couldn't see what he was thinking from Jacob's face without any emotional color.

Just then——

"Sir, Mr. Su Cheng has arrived."

——Outside the door behind him came the voice of his old housekeeper.

"Yes." Jacob gave a light "um".

For some reason, Jacob's "um" was accompanied by a tremor.

"... bring him in."

"Yes."

Before long, the door opened behind Jacob.

"Mr. Cheng, my master is inside."

"Well, thank you."

——Not long after the sound of opening the door, the voices of the old housekeeper and Su Cheng rang out.

"You're welcome, then - I'll leave."

Squeak

As the old housekeeper's words fell, behind him came the sound of closing the door.

It was not until the door closed behind him that Jacob finally turned back.

After returning, the first thing that caught Jacob's eye was Su Cheng's young face.

Looking at Su Cheng's young face, Jacob couldn't help feeling.

Jacob suddenly thought that he and Su Cheng seemed to have known each other for more than a year.

He met Su Cheng last summer.

So fast... It's only been one year... It seems that Mr. Cheng hasn't changed much in more than one year... The only change is that his temperament has become more mature

——Jacob thought to himself as he stared at Su Cheng.

"That... Mr. Jacob?"

Since he entered Jacob's room, Jacob has not spoken, but has been staring at him. Su Cheng couldn't help feeling a little strange, so he couldn't help asking Jacob.

Su Cheng's words awakened Jacob and separated him from his emotional state.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I'm a little absent-minded. Please forgive me." Jacob smiled and apologized, and made an "please" to a small round table.

"Come, please sit down, Mr. Cheng."

This small round table is placed next to the huge French window. There are two opposite chairs around the round table.

Jacob and Su Cheng sat opposite each other around the small round table.

Jacob skillfully made a cup of black tea for Su Cheng sitting opposite him.

"Come on, Mr. Cheng. Drink, please. "

"Ah, thank you. It's quite good tea. "

After a few brief greetings between Jacob and Su Cheng, Jacob said to Su Cheng in an exclamatory tone:

"Anyway, Mr. Cheng, I asked you to become an imperial knight a year ago."

"Huh?"

After hearing Jacob's words, Su Cheng was stunned at first, and then looked around: "Mr. Jacob, I found that it was here a year ago. Mr. Jacob, you asked me to become an imperial knight."

Speaking of this, Su Cheng chuckled: "to tell you the truth, Mr. Jacob really surprised me when you told me last year that you wanted me to become an imperial knight."

“……”

Jacob was silent.

After a little while, Jacob sighed: "Mr. Cheng, I'll just go straight to the subject."

"I asked you to come to my residence today. I have something to tell you."

Su Cheng seemed to have expected it, and immediately said, "Mr. Jacob, please."

"... Su Cheng." Jacob said in a deep voice, "there is a very important topic in the round table that will officially start tomorrow, that is to elect a new head of Michael's knights."

"I have -"

Speaking of this, Jacob paused for a moment, then took a deep breath: "add you to the candidate list for the head of Michael's knights."

"... ha?"

After hearing Jacob's words, Su Cheng was silent for several seconds before looking at Jacob with an expression of "did I hear wrong?".

At this time, Jacob continued: "I hope you can become the new Michael Knight Order and the new top leader of the northern front. I believe you can lead the Michael Knight order to become the strongest Knight Order in our Empire again. Therefore, I sincerely hope that you can be successfully elected in this upcoming round table meeting, I will do my best to win the support of others for you. "

Speaking of this, Jacob paused for a moment, with an expression on his face as if he thought of something, and then continued:

"When I met you in the ice cream shop this summer, I asked you if you would like to become the new head of the Michael knights. I don't know if you heard clearly at that time, or if you heard clearly, but pretended not to hear clearly, but it doesn't matter. At that time, I was not sure whether to recommend you to the top, but since you made great achievements in the "Xia Feng" offensive, I have now determined that you must be the head of Michael's knights. I will try my best to help you up. "

"Wait, wait! Mr. Jacob! " As soon as Jacob's voice fell, Su Cheng immediately said in a panic, "this, this... Are you kidding me?"

"... Mr. Cheng. Do you think I would be the kind of person who specially called you over and joked with you? "

"How could it... I'll be the new head of the Michael Knights... This..."

Su Cheng lowered his head slightly, and his originally straight waist bent slightly at this time, looking very shocked and stunned.

Looking at Su Cheng's appearance, Jacob said he understood very well.

He was suddenly told that he was added to the list of candidates for the head of the Michael knights and the top leader of the northern front. Whoever he was, his reaction should be the same as Su Cheng.

"If you are successfully selected as the new head of Michael's knights at the meeting." Jacob continued at this time, "then you will immediately go to the north to take over the Michael knights and the northern front, which are now only 70000 people. If you start after the round table, you will probably arrive in the north around December."

Jacob's words made Su Cheng's face turn white.

"If I become the head of the new Michael knights, will I set out for the north at once?" Su Cheng's tone is out of control.

Although Jacob wondered why Su Cheng reacted so strongly, he nodded and said:

"Yes, if you are selected to be the new head of Michael's knights, you must start to the North immediately without any delay. After all, the state is urgent. You must rush to the north as soon as possible, take over Michael's knights and be familiar with the management of the Knights. The earlier you become familiar with the management of the order, the faster you can rebuild the order of Michael. "

Jacob's words made Su Cheng, who was already very pale, even paler and ugly.
