No Fatigue: 24-jikan Tatakaeru Otoko no Tenseitan

"There are as many rumors as there are. The devil is causing people to do it, or the dead spirits have gushed out of the underground cavity of the lake, or the ghost work of Princess Beatrice, who lives in the library labyrinth, or the rumored masked knight, who shows up under the needy and leaves the bad guys to succeed, is actually doing the Ripper (Ripper) behind..."

Now Prince Ellens began his explanation on behalf of Mr Corsey.

"And by way of example, is it" The Girl Who Wears "?

Brother David clings cold.

"As for the eyewitness testimony, that's the most. There is also a mix of relatively credible testimonies in it. Just because you saw a girl in a slit doesn't mean she's a Ripper, does it?

"Right. The most likely thing is that I saw a stray girl do a sleigh or tease and run away......?

That's what you say. Your brother sees Mr. Corsey.

"Yep. In fact, an investigation by an officer knight has found that some poor girl was the 'girl in the' witnessed on the night of the incident, following a real observation by a witness. But they can't possibly be the Rippers."

"May I ask why?

"They're not in the habit of changing their clothes because they're so wearing them, and they don't have the money to do that in the first place. If they were Rippers, it would be weird if they didn't have any blood on their clothes, right?

"Hmm... but that's it..."

"I know. It's a faint possibility, but you may have changed from a cuckoo to a cuckoo, or you may have taken off all your clothes at the time of the killing. Naturally, officers and knights were ordered to pursue where they were in the time that the Ripper had committed the crime."

"Was it Shiro as a result?"

"Yeah. They stray girls live in a party of prisoners. I can't say I can't guess because it's a testimony from a buddy, but if the Ripper was there, it wouldn't be ridiculous. Even if your insides are covered, another group might snitch on you for gold. And this is more definitive, but I don't think they could have approached the scene of the third incident, the Vistesian mansion."

Is it the Golden Gate Bridge?

"Yeah. They can't cross into the Old Town without being overlooked at the bridge tower on the Golden Gate Bridge. Of course, just in case, I checked with the knight on duty at the bridge tower, but at first glance he said it was unlikely he would pass a girl who could tell she was a vagrant."

"... for confirmation only..."

Prince Ellens reacted to Brother David's words this time.

"Oh, I know what David's trying to say. Is it possible that the knight on duty received the hardware and put it through? It's suspicious if a vagrant can have enough gold to acquire a knight who is being paid by the state, but I took confirmation from the Knight's superior on duty, thinking you'd be asked that. The knight on duty was an honest young nobleman and not the kind to accept bribes."

Indeed, this kind of thing would be difficult to find out in Mr. Corsey. Looks like Prince Ellens is already trying to use his position to contribute to the investigation.

Brother David asks further.

"Did you look up knights on the New Town side as well as knights on the Old Town side?

The Golden Gate Bridge has a bridgehead on both the New Town side and the Old Town side, packed by knights on duty.

If we're going to acquire it, we have to acquire both knights. If even one of them fails to acquire, they will not be able to cross the bridge. In addition, if the acquisition was made on the Old Town side despite a successful takeover on the New Town side, the Duty Knight on the Old Town side could be reported to have received a bribe. Of course, it goes without saying that the Ripper (Ripper) who attempted the takeover will be arrested on the spot.

So if you're sure one knight won't be bought, it should be pretty much fine, but your brother seems to want to look into both and keep them on the counter.

"I thought I looked into it. The knight on duty on the Old Town side said that although he sees a slight problem with his bare hands, he won't be acquired for a bit or softly because his parents are wealthy."

"So..."

"Oh, you're going to be a little nervous. But it looks like the same thing happened to that knight's superior. They always decide to wear a veteran credible knight with them when the knight is on duty. The orderly knight was also questioned about the circumstances, but that evening the duty knight appeared at work drunk, so he beat him up and returned to his quarters, testifying instead that he stood on duty. This go-to is so stubborn that he seems to be a loyal ancient knight. They're not very bribery recipients."

"I mean," The Girl in the Girl in the Girl "didn't cross the Old Town side the night of the incident... No, not exactly, the Golden Gate Bridge,"

"That's what happens. But that's an inclusive expression, isn't it? Aside from crossing the Golden Gate Bridge, how do you say we cross from New Town to Old Town?

The prince told Brother David in a somewhat challenging manner.

"Well, I don't know that. Lake Monocanus is famous for its intense differences in drought and strong tide. In other rivers and lakes, there is a business called boating, but when it comes to Lake Monocanus, there is no such business."

"Then how did the Ripper get to the Old Town... David, do you have any ideas?

"If we only discuss possibilities, we can come up with as much as we want. But the most feasible ones will be limited"

Prince Ellens devoured Brother David's meaningful words.

"Being limited means there are some?

"… there is nothing that can be made clear at this stage"

"You won't even reveal it to me?

Brother David returned the question to the Prince instead of answering the question.

"Has His Highness Ellens come up with anything, too?

"Me? If crossing a lake means crossing a lake, I think there are two main ways to do it."

"Are there two? Can I ask you something, if you don't mind?

"You don't reveal your own, do you hear mine?... No, I can be honest with you, but that's a little bit of a" too. "I don't even know why David is avoiding being explicit here.

Yeah, Edgar, what do you think of your assistant? You know what I mean when I say two things?

The prince whose brother made fun of me is turning a spear on me.

Two. It may be a hassle, but somehow I can think of something.

"... uh, if you can't get through the Golden Gate Bridge and you can't cross the lake by boat, I think there are two ways. I mean, isn't it flying across the sky or digging underground and creeping through the lake? I don't think either is very realistic......"

I wouldn't be able to dig through the underground lake using the magic of the Tunnel, as I did with the crow. but it will require a huge MP. Narrowing down the suspect from that line would mean that the Ripper (Ripper) would be either me or Jeremiah.

Those flying in the sky, with the power of Psychic and Elementary Master, may be able to barely jump over the lake if they combine mindfulness and wind magic. But I'm still the only one who can use this method.

In short, neither method is possible, but it seems roughly unrealistic.

But the prince shook his head at my words.

"No, Guidance, it's not impossible, is it? Firstly, it is said that there are giant cavities in the basement of the lake, although those circling underground. There are many branches above the nest of the Necromancer, which, by the way, is submerged, but maybe there is a path that connects the old and the new towns"

"But you were talking about how even the Adventurer's Guild was so complicated inside that it was inhabited by a Necromancer powerful enough to go behind it."

"Yeah. That would be hard to get through there safely if you weren't a legendary necromancer"

Doesn't that mean it's still unrealistic?

You must have noticed the question that came up in my face, the prince nodding and saying.

"I understand Edgar's question very well. But can't you even think about this? I thought the Ripper was a Necromancer."

"What..."

"Why do you think the amputee (ripper) case is so topical and knocking the citizens of Wangdu into the crucible of terror? In the Wang capital, even if you don't say it every day, there are several murders a month. With resentment, emotion, or simply a fight over drunkenness. If we take a sober view, we can also say that the amputee (ripper) case is just one such murder. Despite this, why are citizens frightened by cleavers (rippers)?

"Is that... because I might be targeted?

"You're right about that answer, but you want another step, one that pokes at the essence. - David, you know what I mean?

Turn your gaze like a prince challenges Brother David.

Brother David answered calmly.

"Because the Ripper's motive is unknown. The motive is unknown, so I get worried that I might be targeted, too. But that won't be all. People instinctively fear things they don't understand. What the hell does a cleaver (ripper) benefit from making such a hunting case? The fact that the Ripper doesn't see his own interests in the case is a source of monstrosity seeping out of the Ripper."

"That's 120 answers. That's a royal detective.

Yes, what's creepy is that you don't know what the Ripper's motive is. That's what makes the Ripper case so different from hundreds of murders.

Generally, cleavers (rippers) are considered lunatics. But if you're just a lunatic, you can't explain that you're disappearing like smoke every time from the crime scene. The Ripper obviously has a common sense judgment. At the very least, I know that if I find out what I'm doing, it's my own ruin, and I'm just leaving reason to be careful not to be witnessed by others at the stage of escape from the crime scene. In other words, it follows that the Ripper (Ripper) is a 'rational lunatic'. Not to say that there is no such presence, but it would also be true that it is extremely rare.

But if the Ripper is a Necromancer, we can solve that problem. "

That's what the prince looks at me for.

Interpreting that he was asked to speak, I replied.

"... you mean the Necromancer is posing as a Ripper for some evil ritual"

That's what I'm talking about.

I was impressed with the prince's words.

I see, as the king said, he seems to be quite a mindless person.

But I hear Brother David had a different feeling than I did.

"Replace the incredible creature of the Ripper with the legendary presence of the Necromancer - it does make sense, but I have to say that the basis for supporting that hypothesis is thin."

"You're spicy anyway, David. But you're right. I have spoken on that point, too. Well, I'm just saying I can think that way. So far there are no deniable elements of it. If I may borrow your word, it's just a matter of possibility."

That's what the prince said and shrugged his shoulder.

"If you're going to take that theory, you don't have to be a necromancer for anything. That is what it means to be a demon, a ghost, an apostle of evil gods, whatever. You will be allowed to substitute any number for the 'algebra' called Ripper… you will not be able to obtain the 'solution' of who the Ripper (Ripper) is"

That's what I'm talking about.

My brother has recently published a book called Principles of Algebra.

Prince Ellens would have read the book, too. I think it's a pretty difficult book from this world standard, but it seems to be able to digest the content properly. Does this prince mean he is as strong in the science and mathematics system as his brother?

The prince coughs up and repacks the compartment.

"So, another possibility - about the possibility that the cleaver (ripper) flew through the sky and crossed the lake. For this one, we can assume a more realistic existence than a necromancer.... Edgar didn't seem to think of it, but I think anyone in this royal castle would."

Can anyone in this royal castle come up with that?

In short, do you mean it's common here?

When I came to the Imperial Castle today, I remembered in turn what I saw.

"... ah"

"Looks like you got it. Yes, there would be a dragon rider, wouldn't there? If you ride a dragon, it has absolutely nothing to do with how fast the tide of the lake is. You can fly."

"So the Rippers (Rippers) are in the Dragon Knights...?

I said it out of the blue, you keep your mouth shut.

Just because this lab is outside the Old Town doesn't mean you can say it lightly. The leader of the Dragon Knights is the first prince of this country. If a cleaver (ripper) comes out of his "inside" subordinate, it will also resonate in the throne inheritance competition.

Oh, well. Is it because Brother David didn't say anything about the possibility that he just came up with?

"You've been careful, haven't you? You are Royal Detectives and their assistants in the Ripper investigation. Even accidentally, leak the story that the Dragon Knight is suspicious. Inside the royal castle can be a fuss up and down."

"Wow, I get it..."

I bow my head to the prince who's going to give me the nail.

Because you look like you're eight or nine years old, that's not an excuse. Conversely, it's even possible to have credibility in what you're saying because you look like a child.

"... but at this stage, that's not that realistic either. David would understand that, wouldn't he?

"Yeah. Dragon riding stands out. Even if it was night, it would be the end of a roll if witnessed.

You also have the question of how to get a dragon rider out of the Dragon Knights stables in the first place. Even if you were a dragon rider of your own, you can't let the stables go out any more than they're locked. The key to the stables is that Prince Ilfreed, the commander of the regiment, is under immediate control, so stealing it would be a difficult business.

Furthermore, the stables are not going to be deserted at night either, and they will keep personnel on duty from the Dragon Knights in case the dragon cavalry falls ill, etc. Normally, a newcomer to the Dragon Knights said he would be in charge of it. Now, he says, just as often, Brother Berhardt is on duty. "

Brother David explains even that.

that

"Chi, wait a minute, brother. How do you know what's inside the Dragon Knights?

My brother was a librarian, and there shouldn't have been any connection to the Dragon Knights.

Prince Ilfreed, who is currently the leader of the regiment, also looked like he had met for the first time today.

"While you were hated by His Royal Highness Ilfreed's dragon rider, I asked him out."

So Brother David was thinking about the possibility of a Ripper in the Dragon Knight at that point?

"... I wasn't just getting my arm sweet bitten by a dragon rider"

"Well, I heard it before that."

To your brother's condition, Prince Ellens says after he smiles bitterly.

"However, in this case, we would have flown a dragon ride from the old town to the new town. Which would mean that in the first and second cases we used dragon riding and not in the third case, right? But if you can use a dragon rider, if you do the third one in the new town, you won't have to suspect it. If all the incidents were taking place in the New Town during the jumping night of the Golden Gate Bridge, there would be no suspicious eye for anyone who could be in the Old Town at night. Instead, if you used a dragon rider, that's what you would have been after. So why did you even bother to make a case in the old town?

To the prince's words, Brother David shrugged his shoulders gently and did not answer.

I'll try to answer it instead.

"If the Ripper is a bloodthirsty homicidal maniac, there's a chance he's slowly losing control."

"Yeah. The first and second cases could afford to work with a dragon cavalry, but in the third case we couldn't afford that much anymore, so it was a crime in the old town," he said.

"Or that I couldn't use a dragon ride only in the third case due to some circumstances"

"Well, if you're going to mention that, because it's nearly impossible in itself to use a cavalry dragon on its own without the Dragon Knights enlightening you. So far, it's only one possibility"

Indeed, Prince Ellens is right.

And that's where I flickered.

"But in the first place, didn't you have to cross the lake? Really, isn't it more natural to think of the person who was in the New Town at the time of the first or second case and in the Old Town at the time of the third case as the Ripper?

"That's pretty good, Mr. Edgar. I thought about the possibility first, too. In that case, it would mean that a wealthy merchant or his servant doing business to an aristocratic counterpart in the old town would be suspicious. I ordered Corsey to list such merchants and find out more about where they were and with whom on the night of the Ripper case.

As a result - only one person found a suspicious merchant "

"What... do you mean there's a suspect"

What, then, has been the reasoning so far?

Maybe I got a disgruntled color on my face. Prince Ellens laughed and said niggardly.

"That's who I know well, too. In short, it was Mr. Popols. Mr. Popols was at his home next to the New Town Chamber of Commerce in the first two cases, and in the third case, he was staying in the Old Town just after a long meeting with me. My wife was with me when I was at home, and the innkeeper was my witness when I took the lodge in the old town. This inn is a luxury inn I use occasionally, so it will be difficult for me to hold the money and perjure it. I stopped Mr. Popols from staying at the inn in the first place. [M] I also made the inn available, so Mr. Popols had no choice.... No, of course, I thought we had a good place to stay. Anyway, there was no room for Mr. Popols to do an alibi job.

Besides, I'm familiar with Mr. Popols' honest personality. I can't imagine him being a Ripper. "

I don't think Stef's family's father was the culprit in the gloomy case.

The alibi seems solid, and you can take it off the suspect for one second.

"... that? But does that mean you were in the New Town when the first two incidents happened, and no one was in the Old Town when the third incident happened?

"How about that? Only wealthy merchants and their servants were examined by the Knights of Officers. It's not necessarily that no one else meets the conditions. From the records of the Golden Gate Bridge, we have been given the task of washing people who were in the Old Town at the time of the third incident, but there are too many people in the area. Even if someone meets the criteria, they can't pursue it any further if they say it happens.

Then there are many who have already left the King's Capital. It's hopeless to hear from you. "

Prince Ellens said so and shrugged his shoulder.

"... it's like grabbing a cloud, isn't it? So far, the cleaver (ripper) has not imitated anything to show his tail. After all, reasoning alone means there are limits to narrowing down the Ripper. It is the current situation of the Knights of Officers that clouds the tea by intensifying patrols by the Knights of Officers and encouraging citizens to be vigilant."

Mr. Corsey looked bitter listening in silence to Prince Ellens's painful words.

"If it's a normal kill, if you go after resentment, affection, money, and this neighborhood, one or both of the suspects will float quickly. So far, I think the Ripper has chosen his target indiscriminately. For once, it looks like a young woman is being targeted, but we can't find anything more in common. It's true that even the Knights of Officers can only increase their night patrols."

Even Mr. Corsey is not holding hands. Rather, we can say that we are vigorously conducting the investigation. At the moment, however, there are too few clues about the Ripper.

Now, no matter how much Brother David is a genius, it doesn't seem like there's anything you can do.

... and I thought,

"- Oh, my God, that's a chigu case."

Brother David snapped pompously.

The prince frowned and listened back.

"Chigu? Isn't it a case that's easier to understand in a way than this? Homicidal maniacs are killing people."

"I'm supposed to be a lunatic. I accomplish the crime without anyone finding me. Madness and reason. That's the first thing that Chigu does.

Secondly, that even though it targets young women, sexual activity does not appear to have been the aim. But somehow I decide my womb out. It's as if you need help with the womb, not the woman. But the discovered uterus was abandoned just because it was cut through the middle with a knife. As if, by peeking inside, you were satisfied and lost interest. After a month, I will kill the woman again and cut open her womb...

And that we're making a case in the old town, too. The cleaver (ripper) seems to only need to know in person in the womb, but it doesn't mean it's anyone's womb. It would be easier to find victims in the new city. Despite this, the Ripper also appeared in the difficult old town to commit "

"Can't you help thinking about the madman's motives?

Prince Ellens said to the throw.

Brother David continues the conversation without fitting in with it.

"I can only say one thing... that this case will last for a while, right? The motive for the cleaver (ripper) to make the case is unknown, but the cleaver (ripper) does not yet seem satisfied. And in search of 'satisfaction', it looks like we're going to be committing crimes in the old town as well"

"... I hope your anticipation doesn't come off"

Prince Ellens says with a cheeky face.

"... The Ripper may be an organization."

Brother David said that all of a sudden.

"It's a weave? So you're saying it's also a mutual aid association for homicidal maniacs?

"Come on, I don't know what it is, but the Ripper (Ripper) is too handy. Lure people out, kill them so they don't make noise, and judge their bellies and decide their wombs out in a short time. And disappear like smoke.

Doesn't Ripper have a helper? Alternatively, multiple cleavers (rippers) may be joining forces to help secure watches and escape routes. It should also require some knowledge to cut open the abdomen accurately and remove the uterus. An adventurer who can dismantle demons, a slaughterer who can dismantle livestock, or a doctor who can perform some surgical procedures… such a person may be coaching the Ripper (Ripper). Of course, you can assume that the person in question is the Ripper himself, or that multiple Rippers (Rippers) are cooperating. It's even possible that the extreme story, the three Ripper cases, were made individually by the three Rippers. "

If a mystery novel has such a cock, the reader will be butchy, but there's nothing more than possibilities...?

No, even my brother knows, of course, that such a possibility is unrealistic. My brother points out the cleaver's (ripper) habitual detached handicap.

"Assuming there was an aider, how could you do that? Even if it's an individual offense, it's ridiculous, but I don't see the motive to make someone else do that. If you're a homicidal maniac, you're likely to stick to getting your hands on yourself directly. Not to mention when it's an organization, I don't know what it's all about."

"It's only a matter of possibility. I thought we should just consider it."

"Ugh... honestly, I can only think of an organization that's going to do that like the devastated Assassination Order."

When I hear "Yata-glass", I get stifling.

As a matter of fact - I was thinking a little bit about the possibility.

Not all of the former users of Yata-glass have been revamped. Some of those who were not there at that time still believe in evil gods. Of course, since Gazein, dressed as Patriarch Grutmezza - is dead, there will no longer be an announcement from the evil gods to them. Still, they live a lurking life awaiting the miracle of evil gods... Apparently. I don't know the truth, but I still hear such rumors from Neville, who occasionally faces each other.

"Then you'll talk to your father and ask the national defense department to move as well"

Prince Ellens said so in an unconvincing manner.

"Anything else bothering you, David?

"No... especially. However, you can't expect a small effect on patrols by officer knights."

"Right. I know that, too. With so many rumors and everyone nervously alert, the Ripper has succeeded in killing. The Ripper doesn't know if it's magic or skill, but he should think there's a way to deceive his surrounding eyes."

The prince shook his head in disgrace.

"... after all, all we can do is align our geese necks and wait for the next incident to happen..."

The words seemed to carry an unmixed anger.

◆

That night, when I got back to the mansion, I talked to Alfred about meeting his father in the royal family.

His father is the head of the Royal Knights (Royal Guard), whose main task is to protect the royal family. While enjoying the distilled liquor rock in the study (the ice was magically made), he told me about each of the royalty.

"His Royal Highness, Ilfreed, often calls it a visit, can leave the new city with patience. I'm in trouble because I'm gonna ride a dragon rider and get rid of the guardian knight."

"... is that okay?

"They'll take the Dragon Knights', careless men. That's what Berhardt often seems to accompany him. You're strong in person, and Berhardt is quite skilled because of your" demonic modification ". His Majesty the King tells me to let it be."

"Huh. What are you doing in the New Town?

"Well, that's... well, because it involves His Highness's honor"

"... you're doing something to do with honor"

Does that mean we're playing "play" on that side?

Then I know you want to escort the Royal Guards. My father and the king are best friends, so I guess he's afraid that the king will find out about the play via his father. They seem to find out how this is going.

Well, the head of the Royal Knights (Royal Guard) is in a position to know that information as well. That's how much the King trusts his father, who was entrusted by Wang Zhongdi to head the Royal Guards.

"Your Highness, Ellen, you're very enthusiastic about research. Sometimes I show my face to a blacksmith in New Town or a workplace at the Culver Chamber of Commerce. Sometimes when Xing rides, he stays in the new city as a decoy and doesn't return to the royal castle for days. It might look like David or Ed around the corner where you can't stop immersing."

"Oh, they showed me the lab, too. But why are you only away from the royal castle in His Highness's lab?

"It is supposed to be the nature pattern of the study. However, because of his tendency to be ill, Your Highness doesn't seem to like the royal castle very much. He said he remembers when he was lying on the hospital bed." I was a bird in a cage. "

Prince Ehrens looks like Brother David, pah. Prince Ehrens has a blue-white, leaner complexion and a slightly subdued atmosphere, both of which are images of intelligent literary boys. My brother can afford a mathematical system.

"Princess Irvara, on the contrary, barely goes out of the royal castle. You can do more or less research on [spells] by yourself, and when you need a collaborator, you can ask a court magician. Your Majesty and the Queen mourn because you are beautiful, but because of the experiment you are covered in coal, and because of the blood stains attached to your clothes."

"I got a little bit of [spell] research to show you, too. I think it's a very original study. I don't know about you as a royalty, but as a researcher, you're probably very good."

"Right. However, the fact that the princess is a [spell] is not a good way to hear it. Princess Ilbara has dyed her hands in the forbidden sorcery of making a covenant with the evil god Monugonez, and many human beings have already been sacrificed... what rumors"

"... no, you'd find out if you just did that"

No, isn't it?

For example, if you make it look like a doomsday offense like a cleaver (ripper) and sacrifice...

Speaking of which, the Ripper destroyed his organs. There were also stories of frozen, preserved human fragmented bodies found in the basement of the house of the Passover/Hitoshi Kizaki at a wide show in Japan shown to the goddess.

That's the possibility that Princess Irvara was a hidden necromancer and a cleaver (ripper)?

Is that too much to think about? I thought she was a weird princess, but she didn't feel evil. If Melvi was with me, I would have figured it out for sure.

"The three of you, each with a different mother, right?

"Oh. But I don't think there's any obsession between the three of you. For better or worse, there's no room to bump into each other."

"Three mothers - what about the queens?

"That's what makes us so close. Vis has always been a clever guy on that point. I would have been stabbed several times by a woman if I hadn't been king. But he's happy or unhappy or His Majesty the King. The more inheritance, the better, so it's not a bad thing for the country. I'm done making the three of us queens now and declaring that I won't take the queen any more. Looks like we're still well balanced to keep the three queens in the mood."

Apparently that king was a hell of a harem bastard. Give it to me.

In this country, you don't have the right to inherit from your eldest son in order, like you did in your previous life's fantasy, but even if you couldn't be king, you can enter the royal family. It's a system like heaven and earth in Japanese government in the past life. But thanks to this, it seems that the Kingdom of Santa Mana has done less power struggle involving succession to the throne than other countries.

Even if the king suddenly dies, he says the king has renewed his suicide note every year since his reign, so he will not be able to do so by whom he will succeed.

... Although, once in the past, one of the heirs to the throne tried to alter the king's suicide note to take the throne.

"Has Your Majesty decided on a successor yet?

"Come on, that's just about it,...... I don't care how close you get to me."

Indeed, if my father accidentally finds out about his next heir to the throne, he's going to get into trouble.

"But many nobles don't think so. I've been searching a lot.

Well, Vis seems to be slowly going to entrust me with a suicide note, so if my tenure exceeds ten years, I'm going to be put in a position where I can't help but know. "

Anything, the king entrusts the suicide note to the Royal Knights (Royal Guard), the prime minister and the secretary of the palace, except in special cases.

In other words, from the day his father became a ten-year servant (five more years after five years already), his father became the "testamentary depository" of King Vistogard I, and he became in a position to know the next heir to the throne.

The Royal Knights (Royal Guards) are also in trouble.

I held my father's shoulder to help me with my daily struggles, and that was all the conversation I had that day.
