"Shay Cormac, former Grand Knight of the Empire's Knight Order stationed with the Desert Kingdom troops, your former rank was Lieutenant, am I correct?" Perfikot looked at the slightly disheveled knight before him and asked.
Shay didn't dare neglect his posture, standing as straight as a soldier, his eyes neither glancing to the sides nor daring to look directly at Perfikot.
Upon hearing Perfikot's question, he quickly snapped to attention, his heels clicking loudly together, as he replied, "Yes, my Lord Count."
"No need to be too nervous, relax a bit, Mr. Knight, I don't bite." Perfikot joked, unusually, but then continued, "You said you were kicked out of the army for drunkenly killing the son of your superior, which is why you ended up in the Northern Territory looking for a livelihood.
And before that, you had already been selected for the Empire's newly forming Steam Knight Order, is that correct?"
