"That's all I have to tell you. Now, as planned, please excuse me first."

"Um, thanks for the hard work. Get some rest."

"Excuse me, sir."

Captain Angelica paid a respectful tribute before leaving the room with the help of his servants.

Watching the door close, Garnett unnerves and breaks the lady-like look.

Does tension loosen up here when you say it's still in front of His Majesty?

It is a truly garnet-like reaction around where it is harder to hide your identity and behave like a lady than to look at a king.

"Now... let's move on to the next matter. You don't have to tell me why you left Angelica behind. Lord Garnett, to fulfill what Ethel asked me to do."

"It's an honor, Your Majesty. I never dreamed Ezel would take his story to His Majesty for real."

Garnett's tone was a mixture of respect worthy of the position and what an elusive mess.

I guess this is done deliberately because regular garnets can behave appropriately according to time, case and opponent.

Now His Majesty seemed to take pleasure in being treated in this manner by Garnett.

"... Your Majesty has known for a long time about the true relationship between Garnett and Alma"

"Uhm, that's right. This is what we asked for to replace the head of the Argentinian family. I knew in advance how many of Sir Rembrandt's real children were candidates for succession."

In the form of taking over His Majesty Alfred's explanation, now Garnett opens his mouth in the usual way of speaking.

"It was only a few years after the incident that I wanted to be a knight, and by then, Sir Carmine was in charge. Anyway, the others, it was too late to delude the royal palace's eyes, and if they were hiding a candidate for succession, that would be a big problem, wouldn't it?

"I see... so I told the royal palace and His Majesty that I had spoken beforehand"

If you ask me, it's more unnatural that His Majesty Alfred has no idea what's going on.

The Silver Wings Knights and the Argentinian family are a group allowed and empowered to survive by drinking several conditions after their country was absorbed by the defeat of the war.

Actually, I had another child with my late wife, what a position to push through a posterior lie.

So I told the royal palace and His Majesty everything, including Garnet's wishes, beforehand.

"And thanks to the fact that His Majesty said, 'I knew I had another son,' it was easier to convince the others."

Garnett remains dressed like an orderly lady attending a nightclub, returning her tone and expression to normal behavior.

There are quite a few gaps, and this should not make me feel attractive.

Not knowing I was thinking that on the inside, His Majesty kept talking about his treatment of Garnett.

"I didn't want to scorn my mother's determination to take revenge. It is a good stimulus to the other knights that there were those who became knights for such motives. Besides, Ethel begged me..."

"... Huh? It's the first time I've heard of Ethel's mouthfeel."

"Whoa, didn't he say anything in person? Then make sure you didn't ask me that."

A garnet with a bewildered and ambiguous look.

As a valuable friend who treats me equally after knowing my identity as a princess, Ezel the Brave takes care of Garnett and cares about something.

It was part of that that he helped me procure new weapons, but I felt like there was something oddly heavy about taking the story to His Majesty the King, my father.

But he didn't even know that was what had been going on since childhood, and that it was also a help to belong to the Silver Wings Knights by faking their gender.

- It's an assumption that's never going to happen, but if anything happens to me that disappoints Garnett, I even have a feeling he's going to bump his anger from the bottom of his heart to Ezel.

"Well, it's just time to get down to business"

His Majesty drew the topic back to the point as if to depart from the fact that he accidentally exposed Ezel's secrets.

"Garnet Argentia. I give you the sword of the royal palace."

A grand voice echoes in the room.

It should never have been loud, but it felt intimidating as if it were trembling from the bottom of my belly.

"This is not the only reason for Princess Ezel's plea. It is a reward for your work and a support material to survive the battle that will continue to grow in intensity - and a lesson to the White Wolf Knights (...) Issue (...)"

His Majesty grabbed the long wrap he had placed behind his back.

The fact that it is a sword and sheath wrapped in a white cloth is understandable at a glance, even if it is not explained.

Garnett wrapped around the dress advances one step forward and sits down with a single knee poked so the knight can do so.

"Garnet Argentia, try to use this sword brilliantly."

"Thank you. I'm happy."

"And it's Luke Whitewolf."

- Suddenly, my name was called without any foretaste.

"Brilliant, let this sword be sublimated by Mithril. As long as history has a record, it is just one unprecedented attempt"

His Majesty removed the white cloth, and even the brand new sheath, and exposed the sword.

The right half of my vision is distorted like a sandstorm, and the "Right Eye of Wisdom" is activated regardless of my will.

The surprise over it quickly disappeared.

Because the information obtained from the 'right eye' looking at the sword was more shocking than that, and at the same time I had to convince myself that the 'right eye' had woken up on its own.

"Your Majesty... No way, that sword...!

"Do you still understand? That 'right eye'... no, it could be the effect of the alphazur."

His Majesty Alfred lays the sword of the stripper in the hands of Garnett and exalts himself in proclaiming the identity of the sword.

"The Sword of Adamant. You brought home loot from Demon King Castle. It is the sword of Gandalf the Demon King."
