古き掟の魔法騎士 [Furuki Okite no Mahou Kishi] (Novel) #1
Magic Knight of the Old Ways: Volume 1
A long, long time ago, in the era of legends, there was a knight known as Sir Sid the Barbarian who pledged his sword to the Holy King Arthur. Unparalleled in strength, he was the greatest magical knight of his time, but also a disgrace to the name of chivalry. His evil deeds were countless, and eventually he met his end at the hands of his own king...or so the story goes. Now a thousand years have passed, and Sid is summoned from his eternal slumber by Alvin, a descendant of Arthur and a prince who knows the truth about Sir Sid the Lightning Knight. Honoring his ancient pact, Sid rises from the grave to help Alvin save the kingdom from impending peril and become the new instructor to Alvin’s class of fellow aspiring knights. As danger lurks in the shadows, Sid must train this class of underdogs to rely on more than just their magical fairy swords and teach them the old ways of the magic knights.

昔々、特別騎士があった。伝説時代最高の騎士として、シド＝ブリーシェは賢王・アストラに従った。然し、歴史によって、最後で彼は悪い反逆者だ。シド卿は沢山人を殺して、悪魔的な性格があったらしだ。結果として、彼の異名は「野蛮人」だ。そう「野蛮人」として、彼は元主人・アストラ王に殺された。だから、最高の騎士シドは急に最悪の騎士になった。千年を経っても、彼の名前はとても悪名高いだ。
この幕は終わり筈だが、不思議に千年後でシド卿は復活した。その召喚術者はアルヴィン王子だ。彼によって、王国に救う為に、その手段を使った。けど、「野蛮人」シド＝ブリーシェは本当に彼に従う？更に、何故彼を蘇る？彼は悪名高い反逆者筈だが、不思議アルヴィンは彼に深くに信用した。もしかして、シドの反逆は他の理由がある？

良い小説でした！正直羊太郎様が好きだから、あらすじを読ませずにこの本を買った。その理由で、あまり高い期待がないだが、本当にいいストーリーだ。相変わらず、羊様の世界は分かるやすいのに、興味深い世界設定がある。政治、王国、魔国、魔法、キャラクター、全部は面白いだ。
個人的に、私の一番好きなキャラクターはアリヴィン王子だ。彼はとても未熟だが、一生懸命に前にだ進む。だから、彼の成長はとても楽しみだ！

A long, long time ago, there was a special knight. As the strongest knight in the Legendary Era, Sid Blishe served under the wise king, Astola. However, according to history, Sid was an evil rebel in the end. Apparently, he killed a lot of people and had a demonic personality. So, his other name was the "Barbarian." Yes, as the "Barbarian," he was killed by his former master, King Astola. Thus, the best knight, Sid, suddenly became the worse knight because of that. Even a thousand years later, his name is still infamous.
That curtain was supposed to end, but mysteriously, Sid revives a thousand years later. The summoner is Prince Alvin. According to the latter, he did all of this to save the kingdom. But will the "Barbarian" Sid Blishe really serve him? Furthermore, why resurrect him? He's supposed to be the infamous rebel, but oddly enough, Alvin has a deep trust in him. Perhaps, Sid's rebellion had another reason behind it?

This was a great novel! Honestly, because I like Taro Hitsuji (the author), I bought this book without reading the synopsis. So, I didn't have that high of expectations for this one, but this was a really great story. As usual, Hitsuji's world is very easy to understand while still having a very interesting world setting. The politics, the kingdom, the demon country, the magic, the characters—all of it are interesting.
Personally, my favorite character is Prince Alvin. He is very inexperienced, but he works his hardest to advance forward. So, I look forward to his growth!

Casually sexist from the first chapter and in really dated ways, even for light novels. Gave it four chapters and regretted it. Don't know if it's the translation or original novel that makes the prose so weak, but that didn't help. Even is what you're looking for is fan service and weak female characters, there are much better places to get that.
