Chapter 73: Chapter 44.1

What Glenn had realized since he got married was that his mysterious wife never talked carelessly.

What else did she come up with this time? Glenn as well as the other knights listened to Nadia attentively.

“What does that mean?”

“The sheet metal armor is strong against arrows and raid attacks. That means the knights don’t have to be afraid of the enemy’s archers.”

Nadia continued.

“We could build a mounted raid unit using heavy cavalry. It would be only right for the knights to fill that role.”

“A raid tactic using mounted units….”

Glenn played the simulation in his head.

A mounted unit charged with sheet metal wrapped around the body– Even the arrows from the enemy camp wouldn’t be able to stop them.

Knights who could narrow the distance would hit the enemy camp’s infantry in no time.

If the weight of the horse, armor, and rushing speed were combined, ordinary knights wouldn’t be able to endure it.

If their knights had to endure such weights and charged toward the enemy like that…

‘Ah…’

Glenn’s imagination stopped at that moment. There was a problem with what she said.

A problem that was easy to overlook if you never actually fought on a horse in armor.

Glenn began to hesitate.

‘How can I…… say it in another way so that she doesn’t get offended?’

Fighting in heavy armor was not difficult for those who could handle it.

Riding a horse in that armor was also something you could do if you trained hard.

However, wearing that heavy armor while riding on a horse, as you charged and attacked the enemy camp? It was a suicide mission.

The moment their knights collided with the enemy, they would not be able to overcome the repulsive force and could fall off their horse.

There was no other prey that was easier to kill than a fallen cavalryman.

“What’s wrong?”

“Oh, so it’s.….”

Everyone was thinking the same thing as Glenn, and others also seemed flustered.

‘Ah… What are we going to do with this?’

‘She seems to have made a very ambitious plan…’

‘She’ll be very disappointed if we say it’s impossible.’

He glanced at their lord, and they were giving eyes that seem to be saying this.

‘My lord, please say it on our behalf.’

What a bunch of disloyal fellows.

In the end, Glenn had to step up to the silent pressure. He coughed a few times before opening his mouth.

“Nadia, I understand your desire to contribute to the development of Winterfell. I fully understand. But….”

“But?”

“A cavalryman who can ride on a horse in that armor and endure the moment of collision will not be very common. It’s better to use a javelin than to charge the enemy.….”

“Of course, we have prepared countermeasures for that.”

“–What?”

His eyes were wide open at the calmly thrown words.

Glenn wasn’t the only one surprised.

Everyone listening to the conversation was looking at her with a startled expression.

Nadia was the only one still at peace.

She continued, beckoning the servant with the file to come close.

“I ordered the blacksmiths to make a tool to help the knights withstand the shock. The sample hasn’t been completed yet, but you’ll get a rough idea just by looking at the shape. This is what I requested.”

Her hand pulled out a piece of paper stuck between the piles of papers. Then she held it out in front of Glenn.

“……?”

On top of it, there was a picture of an object that he had never seen before.

* * *

That was what happened in Nadia’s first life, before she returned.

Having vaguely fantasized about an animal called a horse since childhood, she asked her fiancé to teach her how to ride a horse.

“You want to learn how to ride a horse?”

“Yes! Please teach me how to ride a horse instead of a birthday present.”

“If you tell the Duke, he’s a horseback riding teacher… Does the Duke even know about this?”

“Of course, I ask you without my father knowing. He probably won’t allow it. That’s why I’m asking you.”

“…….”

“You’re not going to tell my father, are you?”

“Sigh…”

Lee Jiho sighed briefly and swept his face.

“You are telling me to deceive my lord with a smile.”

“The goddess shall overlook this lie. So are you going to teach me or not?”

The Duke of Balazit was a very conservative figure, who wanted his daughters to live quietly in their room.

To be more precise, it was rather to maintain their reputation and used it for political marriage instead.

For such a father, it was hard to understand that noble lady rode around on a horse.

If Nadia asked her father to assign her a riding teacher, he would dismiss her and tell her to take the carriage instead.

In the end, she had no choice but to ask her nice fiancé.

He seemed to be blunt, but he did everything he wanted to do what he asked.

Lee Jiho, who sighed deeply, soon opened his mouth.

“If Miss Nadia seems to be in danger, you will have to quit immediately. Horses are bigger than you think. You can get hurt if you fall. No. You will get hurt.”

“I know that much.”

“Even with that in mind! By all means! If you want to learn horseback riding, please come to me when you have time. Oh, and bring your pants.”

“Yes!”

So a few days later, Nadia headed to Lee Jiho’s house with the excuse that she wanted to meet her fiance.

The maid who followed was, of course, left with the horseman where the carriage was parked.

It was rare for a maid to be brave enough to force her master to let her tag along when her master wanted to have time alone with her fiance.

When she changed into her pants and went out to the open space in the backyard, Lee Jiho was saddling a horse.

‘That’s my horse.’
