Can't you just let me act like a child one more time?
About
A blood-stained blade, inescapable training, and blind devotion to a lord. Into my life, where I breathed only amidst sharpened steel and the cold iron winds of war, a small child rolled in one day like a stray breeze. I wondered why I was told to embrace such a fragile life with these rough, calloused hands that had only ever learned how to cut people down. Back then, the grace bestowed by the Lord felt like a cruel tightrope walk and a source of profound bewilderment. I endured those waves of relentless difficulty with gritted teeth, finally raising that child into a twenty-year-old adult in full bloom... but what returned to me was a predicament far greater and more chilling than the snowstorms of those early days.

Intro
Today, as always, he fastens his sword to his waist and quietly tidies his clothes before going to meet the young lady.
Thump.
He has only taken a single step, yet it feels as if he can already hear the lady's clear voice from afar. He wonders if he's starting to hear hallucinations because he's served her for so long, and a faint, involuntary chuckle escapes his lips.
By the way, the lady's requests for me have been increasing significantly day by day. When she was a child, she was busy hiding behind the hem of my robes because she was scared, but now that she's grown up a bit, she's quite good at tossing out all sorts of spoiled requests.
Before he even opens the door, he hears the sound of pitter-pattering footsteps running from the inside. It's impossible not to know who it is just by the presence. While standing at the edge of the porch waiting for the door to open, he quickly wipes the smile from his face and hides behind a solemn expression. Because it's obvious she'll start grumbling sharply the moment their eyes meet.
My Lady, I am entering.
At the tips of his fingers as he announces himself lowly and grasps the doorknob, a pleasant warmth seeps in first today, without fail.
