That evening, I was summoned by an emissary from the royal palace to appear in His Majesty's office.

This is my second visit to the Royal Palace, but the degree of tension was not the previous ratio, and I couldn't help but breathe every few steps down the hall.

Again, the biggest difference would be whether His Majesty the King would be there.

The people who work in the Royal Palace also appear to be coming to work with extraordinary attention than they did on their last visit.

"(Finally, yes...)"

Led by the Kingsguard knights of the Dragon King's Knights, he takes the Royal Palace to the back.

Garnett was instructed to wait in the main hall, so I'm on my own at His Majesty's - technically with surveillance of the Kingsguard knights - on my way.

Same as the first time I saw it.

Even then, Garnett and Felix's escort was halfway there, and I was the only one to see it to His Majesty.

However, I still felt the degree of tension was much stronger this time because of the difference between the moving tent and a place called the central royal palace of the Kingdom of Westland.

"(I can finally pass on His Majesty's decision... I can't believe this is happening to me. I told myself last year and I'm going to lose my hips)"

He came the other day to convey his will to 'recognize the establishment of the new Knights and the accompanying Knights Symphony' and communicated that to the Duke of Kingswell, the minister responsible.

His Majesty was absent at that time, so it will be temporarily deposited, and today, His Majesty's decision will be officially communicated.

"Luke in the White Wolf Forest. This is His Majesty's office. Be careful there's no coarse phase."

Nervous and almost forgetting to even breathe, the Kingsguard dives into the open door and steps into the office.

A desk with elaborate finishes sits in the heart of an interior room that seems to be the most luxurious in the royal palace.

And over a pile of paperwork stacked on his desk sat a man of lion-like majesty.

"Long time no see, Luke in the White Wolf Forest"

"Long time no see, Sire Alfred."

Only the greeting stereotype manages to squeeze it out without delay.

"I have heard from the Duke of Kingswell. Besides, I hear you played a part in solving the Night Ripper case."

'Cause that was like... halfway there.'

"Don't be modest. Coincidence or whatever, merit must be rewarded correctly."

His Majesty stroked his beard (beard) with his fingers, neatly organized, with his large body in the chair of the executive desk.

I almost have the illusion that it's part of a lion's hyena (freshness) rather than a beard.

A Kingsguard knight holding an upright immobile posture behind me opens his mouth in a calm manner.

"Your Majesty, the time for the meeting is running out"

"Oops, I'm sorry. Just now, Luke from the White Wolf Forest. Let me get down to business. We'll talk about the reward for solving the case again."

Forced to pour his saliva down his thirsty throat.

Since when have I been so nervous?

Maybe it was simply because I didn't know what it was, but it wasn't even this much at the first glance.

Strange thing - even when I followed Garnett into the night club, I didn't remember the kind of emotion I could call nervousness.

More than that, anxiety and anxiety, and since the discovery of Garnett, the emotions of relief were overwhelmingly strong, and instead of nervousness, the feet naturally moved forward.

"Conflict between the Golden Tooth Knights and the Silver Wing Knights, two senior knights taking one talent, wasn't something I could have seen before"

His Majesty's well-attended voice echoes into the office.

"The Kingsguard Knights' proposal to leave it to the Dragon King was not easy either, and we ended up pressing you to make a serious decision. I think I've done something bad about it."

"... it's a waste of time"

"Then, the establishment of the new Knights and the inauguration of the Knights Symphony and Knights Commander of Luke in the White Wolf Forest... you could accept this proposal. They're both unprecedented stories, but they're common in my politics."

His Majesty then removed from the desk drawer a seal with a magnificent decoration and opened the documents that had been housed.

A piece of paper that would contain extremely important information no matter how anyone sees it. I can't even watermark the contents from here.

"In playing the Knight's Medal, you have some things to give."

There was a pleasant grin in His Majesty's mouth somewhere.

As if you can't help but be happy to give me what I'm about to tell you.

"First of all, it's a family name. You deserve to be a knight. There is a proposal among the ministers that it would be good to match the names of the Knights, but do you have any hope?

"I can't believe it's hope... do you think you can afford to just give..."

It was hard to keep calm, but the tension was still going to cross my mental tolerance.

"One more thing, I need more territory than being a knight"

"Ya still have territory..."

"This one will be divided from the direct jurisdiction, so I'm sorry, but I can't ask for as much hope as my family name. The degree to which this one chooses among the selected candidates...... what's up, are you okay? You look pale."

"No... I was just so dazzled by the honor"

Like nobles, knights have 'family names' that are not allowed to ordinary people and hold their own territories.

If ordinary people use familiar expressions, this is close to 'advance in kind of reward'.

Normally, they get cash as a reward for their work, but knights are given land in advance as a territory, and the income they earn from it is used to finance their lives and activities in the Knights.

"You must also assume one end of your official duties as a natural duty, beyond becoming a knight and leading the Knights. Of course, we will assign you a role you can play, but territory will be essential to get that funding."

It was meant to be fully understood and convinced by my head.

But when it becomes real, it's hard to take it calmly.

"Don't feel too bad. Only circulars are available for today. I'm going to pack the details from here."

"Ha, ha."

"By the way, if you don't mind, I'd like an answer. The reason I was going to take the suggestion was still Rembrandt's daughter"

- Rembrandt's daughter. That is, Alma Argentia and Garnet Argentia.

Naturally, it seems that the matter of the night club before this was also in His Majesty's ear.

As soon as Garnet's presence climbed to the topic, the tension that was stiffening his head into a bee melted off like a lie, and his body quickly became lighter.

A smile floats naturally in his mouth and makes his response to His Majesty a word as it is.

"Yes, Your Majesty. He's a guy named Loved."

"Ha ha! You're just like me! Much better! Then there's no way I'd hesitate to be a knight!

On the day I first saw him, His Majesty told me how he became king.

When the Predecessor declared that he would give his daughter and throne to those who had brought the artifact to seek and demand a successor, His Majesty was determined to obtain the throne for that princess, who had thought of each other without knowing her identity.

I never dreamed I'd do the same thing then - something that would surprisingly make me lightly prepared myself if such a situation appeared in front of me.

"I just want to hear more about that..."

"Your Majesty, it's time."

"I'm sorry, I have to attend a meeting."

His Majesty Alfred unfortunately shook his head to the side, causing his large body to rise from the executive desk.

"If you were to lead the Knights, you would also face each other more like this with me. Why don't we just talk about it?"
