Setting his gaze on me, Nathan pointed to Clifford in momentum with the long sword of stripping he had in his hand.

"At the time of the final candidate election, we had no results from the practical exams."

The movement is accompanied by a golden thread decorative chamber shaking down into the pattern of the sword.

"For whatever reason His Highness was entrusted to the knight of the escort!

From onstage, the question came straight to me with my gaze.

Nathan doesn't have a back table.

That is, straight balls at all times. He also wrote in The King of Sovereignty that he was so bad at the essential skills of the nobility, the exploration of his belly in a social setting, that he was fortunate enough to have chosen the way of a knight to be his second son while out of the Count's house.

- Nathan like that, of course, the question was straightforward!

There's no reason.

So, I was caught in a straight ball, and I was answering.

One, one!

I decided to Clifford which way - and I read the results of the practical exam thoroughly, only three days ago...

When they say why......

but after I said it, I realized.

Immediately afterwards, not only from Nathan, but also from the knights and brothers of the other escorts, a gaze that is hard to describe simultaneously......!

It would have been better to think about it more and make it look like you had a deep reason!

No, in this case, absolutely.

It's not too late. F, follow me......!

When Clifford asked me the same thing before, I said, "It's a message from the sky." So... no, no, wait!

At that time, Clifford's reaction, it was subtle...?

Should we avoid using it on Nathan and the others, too?

Cold sweating inside, Nathan gave me a tough penetration against my "no reason or anything" statement.

"You say that His Highness Octavia, for no reason, has chosen the lowest person in the practical exam"

For no reason, it is emphasized.

That's right... Normally, you're about to appoint the number one human being as the knight of the escort.

Reasons to dare choose Clifford who was the bottom line there...... Reasons...... Hey, fabrication......

- Flashed!

I turned Princess Smile to Nathan on stage. Spin words.

"Anyone could have done it."

However, conditionally!

"Anyone...?

"Yes."

Let it snort firmly.

"'Cause if you're the one who stayed until the final candidate as the knight of my escort, you'll do your job without any problems whatsoever. Isn't that right?

Protecting the royal family is the basic task of the Knight of the Guard.

As far as I'm concerned, at a time when I've come up as a candidate to me, I don't care who I choose as my escort knight.

Whatever the difference within the candidate, everyone, practical ability has reached the pass line!

For example... RPG! Level one. Then I won't talk to you where I challenged the level 100 lass boss. But if it's level one hundred and ten and level one hundred and fifty, I think we can defeat Lasbos either way.

In other words, if you have entered the final candidate as the knight of the escort, there are dimensions that are all level one hundred and ten or more.

Adequate on a level, even if Clifford's practice exam results will be the lowest.

Besides, the truth is, Clifford isn't a hundred dozen when you level it... It's "obedience" that beats "obedience," and in this example, two hundred...... no, no, more?

"I didn't have to put more emphasis on practical exams than I had been selected as the final candidate. That's not all about judgment. So if you just look at the practice exam, there's no reason you chose Clifford there."

I put a lot of emphasis on other things! and appeal away! Doesn't that sound good? Painful but push it off, complete with followup of the rumblings!

Then, immediately, Nathan opened his mouth.

"I understand what Your Highness is trying to say. Indeed, if you remain the final candidate, even if the results of the practical exam are the lowest, you will be able to perform your duties as a knight of escort."

All right, all right. Nathan's convinced too...

"-But!"

I didn't!

Purple eyes opened up.

"That's not what I'm asking you! Then what was His Highness entrusted to the knight of the escort by Clifford Alderton? I want to answer that!

The momentum that Nathan's princely appearance is likely to undo.

Oh, obviously, my reaction is worse than when I answered "There's no reason..."!

Has been annoying.

According to the original knowledge in my brain, Nathan does not accept deception or reason. So, "There's no reason," which is true when it comes to facts, but then I tried to delude myself.

On the contrary, Nathan has more honesty than bad reason or honesty -?

I see the direction!

"... right. Let's be honest. I chose Clifford because..."

Inhale. I'm not Princess Smile, I smiled honestly.

"Because I like Clifford."

Yes. Honestly, unreasonable, go with emotion theory!

"I like it..."

Now Nathan obviously toned it down. Hmm, I'm thinking. It's no different that you're pointing to Clifford at the tip of the sword......

"I mean, this guy, he said, was the most preferred candidate? Therefore, to the knight of the escort."

Nathan said in the face.

Okay... Huh?

Well, I like the choice between preferred or not, don't I?... it's not a mistake. I was just reworded to say I like it!

I was embarrassed that I wanted to withdraw my foreword.

Feel the black fan and give it up.

What we need now is a simple affirmation!

and to answer in nature!

"Yeah, you're right."

But I couldn't help but arm myself with Princess Smile.

…………

After a few seconds of silence, Nathan lowered his sword. Then, bow your head.

"Thank you for your answer. I apologize to His Royal Highness Octavia for this nasty question, Nathan Holden."

... ho.

If Nathan will hold the spear, well......

"Give me your face. Besides you, it must have been because there were people who had doubts."

Big gathering at the late-night workout?

"- Yes."

Nathan, who nodded deeply and loudly, moved the sword he had lowered once again.

"Therefore, the only question that remains is one!

Huh.

"It is good and evil," he said. I have no objection to the reasons why His Highness Octavia chose this person as the knight of the escort. But. "

Even so, the cutting edge of the sword Nathan held was directed at Clifford.

"This man fought 'submissive' and won? - Whatever it is, words alone are incredible."

Nathan stares at Clifford. Clifford in return has no color of agitation.

"If it's true, prove it!

Declare no, Nathan unleashed the sword he received from another escort knight at Clifford's feet with his left hand.

It was a sign of intent to fight.

However, Clifford does not make it slight.

Back to the shake?

After all, the fact that it was the lowest practical exam is the neck...... At the bottom, the guard knight can work. But 'obey' can't be defeated.

... All right.

I looked up at Clifford on the spot. Dark blue eyes and eye contact.

"- Clifford."

"Ha"

"Fight Nathan and win. Both sides intact."

On purpose, and the knights of the escort changed the colour of their eyes.

Nathan is never weak. Yet it is an insult to Nathan that makes the condition intact.

But I know a lot of Clifford cheats with these eyes.

Even if I put an order like this on it, it'll do it!

"Ha.... intact. I understand."

Not at all aware, Clifford, who returned it, picked up the sword that had just been unleashed at his feet.

When they both laid their swords.

"- Wait."

My brother kept his silence since Nathan and I started interacting.

From his brother, there was a still voice.

"Brother...?

Is it forbidden to fight, or what? That's right... I thought!

"Nathan is strong. But fighting Nathan one-on-one and winning doesn't prove that he overwhelmed 'submissive', unfortunately. So much so, I hear 'obey' is out of standard"

The clouds are suspicious!

"What did you do..."

"Except for the Hugh I put on you - I think it's only when you fight everyone on stage and win that it finally proves it. And of course, the knights of the escort are intact."

My brother has given me the difficulty of victory!

"What do you say? Octavia?"

My brother turned to me by looking at the gaze he was doing on stage with his arms together.

I don't know...

- and.

"His Highness Octavia"

Clifford called me quietly.

"If you want victory, please give me your orders."

Without hurting everyone, I would win, I felt declared. But.

"... you have to be intact, too, Clifford. Remember that."

Clifford laughs.

"- Ha. I remember."
