[Author’s Afterword]

Hello, everyone. It’s Cape.
Thank you very much for reading my work, “When I was working as a civil servant, I was found out to be a muscle-brained knight by the princess knight and got sent to the front lines.”

From Episode 1 to Episode 45, it amounted to approximately 107,000 characters, equivalent to a whole novel, so I’ve decided to conclude Part 1. Part 2 will follow soon, so please continue to enjoy it.

This work started on January 30, 2024, when various ideas came together in my head, and I impulsively posted the first Episode. It was truly a “Eureka!” moment. It was a great experience for me to start with a bureaucrat-themed story.

After posting the first Episode, the feedback from readers was very positive, and feeling encouraged, I began serializing it after solidifying the plot. Before I knew it, it ranked first in the weekly and monthly comprehensive rankings. Within just over two months of its release, it ranked within the top 100-150 in the cumulative comprehensive rankings. The number of page views is also approaching 3 million today. I’m surprised myself.

Once again, I express my heartfelt gratitude to all the readers who have been reading. Thank you very much. I’ve realized once again how happy it is to have so many people reading my work.

While Part 1 was a classic heroic war chronicle (serious face), Part 2 will continue as a classic bureaucratic domestic affairs story (physical). I hope you continue to enjoy it. …Because it’s a classic domestic affairs story, right? Sounds good?

PS: Mr. Anzai, I want to publish and animate this… To all the interested publishing companies, I’m waiting for your contact, haha.

First appeared in Episode 1. 26 years old. After graduating from the Royal Academy at 18, he became a bureaucrat and works at the Ministry of Internal Affairs. He always wears the official attire, the symbol of bureaucrats, and never carries anything heavier than a pen. …Looking at the character introduction alone, he seems like a proper bureaucrat, doesn’t he?

René Tashman
First appeared in Episode 1. Commander of the 7th Legion. 22 years old. Two years ago, at the young age of 20, she took up the post of legion commander in the 7th Legion.

With her talent for graduating as the top student of the Royal Academy, she supports the princess from a political perspective, protects the princess with recovery magic, and has enough strength to fight alongside Princess René.

Lately, she’s been a little tired of the frequent consultations from the king and queen about Princess René’s partner. I want to write an SS focusing on her.
