"... oh! I heard you were finally here, was it true!

A man who had seen it with a bright voice turned up when a room in the royal castle, among them a waiting room door set up for low-status visitors like us this time, opened in momentum.

He is Knights Commander Naus Anklo, a magnificent man dressed in silver with knight armor.

For returning to his own work, he is no longer here, but according to the information the gatekeeper told me on the way, Naus is the head of the Anklo Marquis family and a reputation among the nobles for being a favorite figure inside.

However, it is not as powerful as it is, and the name is not well known to the public hiding in shadows such as the Chancellor, the Duke of Lucas Bader, or the Marquis Marcel Vise, who is the back shield of the First Prince, or the Countess Giselle Georges, patron of the First Princess.

It wasn't a remarkable feat, it was a man known for his loyalty and character.

Sure, I've heard about the other noble names I just mentioned, but I don't really remember hearing Naus' name.

Though an adventurer who hates power and loves freedom, he can't help but relate to nobility more than he lives in this country, so there are some things to talk about nobility, but Naus never even came up among those topics.

Malt was too far from the center in the first place, and the topic with the flowers that said so, well, it would also affect things like doing it once every six months or not.

However, Lorraine looked like she knew...

Did you not mention it in particular because you are not the kind of person who has so many problems, as you can even guess from the story of the gatekeeper?

Or maybe he didn't dare to talk and gave me time to look and judge with his own eyes.

I'm not sure how Augley was, but he would have looked it up while we were doing all sorts of things in the malt, and he'd actually be dealing with it a few times.

On top of that, you may think that it is because you are not the one who should be so nervous to meet, not to say anything of particular detail, etc.

Well, I know the least bit of courtesy and manipulation that you did to me and to Lorraine.

If we had a more adventurous adventurer with us, Augley should have done this in detail, too. Oh, it's likely he instructed us to.

"Marquis Anklo. So, I told you. He said he'd definitely bring them in."

It is Augley who said so.

I guess the person he was stuck with, that is, this Knaus.

Augley confidently claims to Nauss that he did what he said, but the truth should have been a void in the absence of prospects.

The tricks and tones that don't make you feel it show that Augley is surprisingly a pretty good actor.

Well, originally, he's a guy who exaggerates his movements and talks in a playful way.

Given that, I don't think it might be surprising or anything.

"Lord Augley. I'm sorry you doubted me. Anyway, the clear dates, where you two live, and even the name were ambiguous... no one can blame me for wondering what this is."

It is ironic for some to take, and if this is the way the nobles say it, most civilians start to apologize for not being grounded.

But Augley says grandiose about this.

"Sure. But in fact, they came here. If there was anything dark behind it, you wouldn't have come here like this."

There's a lot of dark behind you.

Actually, you think it's a demon?

You actually think he's immortal?

An acquaintance with a vampire?

You think you have the secret means to travel in an instant from far away to the king's capital?

... If they find out, I'm sorry they're gonna kill you.

But both me and Lorraine are clear. Listen to the conversation with their faces.

Naus nods deeply and answers Augley's words.

"Absolutely, you're right. This royal castle, if it has all kinds of equipment… it is not easy to let criminals in, and there are magic devices that detect people's malice, etc. I can't give you the details, but with everything else...... But the three of you are here. The evidence above all is that there is no darkness behind you three."

Well, sure, it's true that I'm not a criminal, and I have no malice towards us for anyone in this royal palace.

I don't know about the other installations, but I guess that's true in the sense that they don't react to any of them.

When it comes to demon sensing, I'm not responding for any reason.

That's the biggest problem, because "I, I'm a demon, but I was unresponsive. equipment, shouldn't we turn it into another manufacturer? Now there are five white gold coins of the new machine shaft Demon Sensing Demonic Props made by the Great Alchemist Lorraine Vivier! We sell for five white gold coins! What more can I offer you..." I can't even say something like a roadside sale.

I remember getting caught up in that kind of wholesale a few times and buying something I didn't care about.

It was a normal price when you think calmly, or a little less capacity if you count it well, that's what it feels like.

"Yeah, yeah, I guess so... By the way, Marquis Anklo. This time, you say hello to His Excellency the Marquis, so may I resign?

That's what Augley tells me.

The point is, can I go home now?

is.

As promised, I came to say hello, and there's no use for it anymore, because, bye, that's the most obvious story for us.

But......

"No, no, what are you talking about? I haven't thanked you yet, and Her Royal Highness is looking forward to seeing you three. I can't give it back to you like this, Nauss, on the Marquis' crest."

That's exactly what they said.

I guess so, it seems.

Of course, I guess I didn't expect that much from you as Augley, but Augley is a good conversation like this trap.

If you don't realize it, you know, make a deadly consent at a time when you might say yes, something like that.

That just didn't work that far for the nobility of everyday tea meals, that's all.

If you're a single-cell adventurer, it's one shot.

"It's an honor. So, are we going to go to Her Royal Highness?

"You will. That said, I'm not so nervous about it. As I said before, that person is an honest person..."

I can also tell from the fact that you invite one adventurer and others to the royal palace just to thank you in this way.

It's just that, by our adventurers' standards, that's already a pain in the ass.

There's nothing I can do around here because it's a difference in perception......

If you can, I just wish you'd give us back with that honesty.

... although hopes don't seem very high.
