I immediately lowered my head by the edge of the hallway when I realized the presence of His Highness Lancelot. Try to kill his breath as it is and wait for him to pass by.

But he doesn't pass, he stops right in front of me.

"Are you Cyril?

I can ask, but I kept my head down and remained silent.

Let us not forget that this is the royal castle and not a school for equality. I tend to forget because His Royal Highness Alfors is so close to me, but there's no way a butler can give a direct answer to a prince.

From the mouth of his servant, wait for the word to answer His Highness's question. But I felt signs that His Highness Lancelot would block the servant's words.

And it was His Highness Lancelot again who uttered the next word.

"Good, allow direct answers. Face up."

"Ha. My name is Cyril, indeed"

Face up and answer as many questions as you have just asked.

There was a boy there who looked very similar to His Highness Alforth. It has an atmosphere similar to that of His Highness Alforce, but the face bordered by golden hair is preceded by rigour.

The green eyes tucked in there stared at me like I deserved it.

Various questions are swirling as to why His Highness Lancelot knew me and why he called me off as a butler in one place, but I swallowed everything up considering my position.

"... I see, you seem to be in a rough spot. But at that rate, it's hard to talk. I'm going to talk to the school seniors."

I'm out, the line that you don't have to worry about. Now on the day I actually said 'thank you, seniors', I'm mostly scolded for being rude.

They say that you don't have to change your tone at all, you have a stiff head.

"... then sweeten to your words. May I ask you one question?

The tone didn't break so much, but he only took one step in wanting me to ask questions. In response, I heard a grunt, "I see, not a bad head spin either".

I guess I squealed to sound deliberate. Looks like you're trying my reaction. So I did not mention His Highness Lancelot's whining and waited for the answer to the question I asked him to ask me.

But...

"Then I'll answer your question. I know your face because I watched the play."

What returned was not permission to the question, but an answer to the question itself.

Do you answer the question accurately even though this one doesn't say what it is about? Oh, my God. You must have induced my thoughts, but I'm such a cutter that I don't think His Royal Highness Alforce and I can only change our age.

"Thank you for your answer, I know."

"I thought you said it was good enough to talk to seniors"

"... thank you"

I just have a few doubts as to why you stick to it.

But I didn't have to ask the answer.

"Cyril, I'm grateful to you. You saved Sister Foll well."

"No, that's what Lady Sophia did"

"You think I don't know what's going on around there?

"Excuse me. It's an honor to have you."

Apparently, he cares about me, the person who saved Fol. This is probably why I say it's good to treat you comfortably.... at least on the surface.

"Don't be alarmed that way. It's true that I appreciate it. I... I heard Sister Foll wasn't around long anymore. That's why I wanted you to like it until the end of the day."

Behind that word is the regret that I had given up?

He said, "That's why I thank you for saving Sister Foll. If there's trouble, let's promise it'll help," he continued.

If you think about it now, he's a middle class student again.

But like His Royal Highness Alforce, he is not affiliated with the Student Council. As I said earlier, I guess I didn't belong to the student council in order not to deprive Foll of his place.

"That's why I want to talk to you a little bit."

"If you can answer me, I don't know."

Watching him lower the servants, I get a little closer to the tone of senior and junior, too. His Royal Highness Lancelot nodded contentedly and cut out that the story was about Miss Sophia.

"... about Miss Sophia, is it?

"I hear she started her own faction. Besides, she belongs to the same student council as Sister Foll, and she also backs up Alforce, doesn't she? What's her purpose?

My spine tingled.

If we listen only to the current story, it is not surprising that Lady Sophia, with the help of Folle, supposedly intends to hold His Royal Highness the Alfors to Prince Wang.

Not to mention that Lady Sophia is crushing Count Earle, who was a faction of the First Prince. Depending on my response, His Highness Lancelot turns to the enemy of Lady Sophia.

"… the first thing I should say is that Lady Sophia wants peace"

"It's a long way from peaceful. But you can't deny it without a headache. Let me know from your mouth why she acted so peacefully."

"Yes, I did. The lady created a faction..."

What matters is what caused the faction, His Highness the Alforce, to surround the electorate. I built a faction not to hold a second prince, but not to be taken in.

Thereafter, at the request of Dr. Tristan, he went to the student council to improve the position of His Royal Highness Alforth at Fol's request.

Explain by pushing forward that those actions are a accomplishment and are never intended to be hostile to His Highness Lancelot.

"... I see, roughly as you were asking"

Surprisingly, His Highness Lancelot did not doubt this story. Instead of saying that, it seemed like he had already made someone he could trust look into it.

I thought that was someone, and somehow I had predictions about the answer.

"Talk to me from His Highness Forsinia?

"Oh, let me ask you a lot"

It was the answer I expected.

If she defended me, Sophia, the suspicion of the lady must have cleared up already.

I just wanted to check from my personal mouth, but that question just stepped too far - and His Highness Lancelot opens his mouth as if he had seen through my insides like that.

"As I said earlier, I am grateful to you. Not that I have no idea, but I don't want to be hostile. Therefore, I apologize for the inconvenience caused by Count Earle"

"-"

The royal family should not apologize at all.

His Royal Highness Alforce is honest, but therefore sometimes he utters words of apology. However, based on the impression gained in the conversation so far, it seems that His Highness Lancelot is moving around the area.

Therefore, the current apology felt a commensurate weight.

"We should apologize for meeting her in person, but we have each other's identities. Tell Miss Sophia what you're saying."

"I'll be sure to tell you"

It was a coincidence that my Highness and I ran into each other this time.

And if it's not even such a coincidence, it's hard to send out servants to talk. Not to mention in the place where Lady Sophia and Her Royal Highness Lancelot meet, there are always surrounding eyes and ears.

His Royal Highness will not come to apologize to Lady Sophia.

That's why you apologize through me.

I hadn't collected much information to avoid appearing in the unmarked Espressivo of Light and Darkness, but apparently you know the story better than I thought.

"Well, that's it for Miss Sophia. From here on out, Cyril, you need to talk to yourself."

"To me... what is it?

"I take in things with different ideas to maintain my faction, but I don't have voter ideas myself. Therefore, I have no objection to being the right person for my abilities"

... what? Why did you start talking like that all of a sudden? It's too sudden to know the intent.

Because I don't know what the intention is, I give a basic opinion.

"Capabilism has many advantages. But at the same time, excessive competencies create problems."

"Exactly. There are limits to everything. It's true that identity differences can be an obstacle, and life will turn around. I'm terribly worried about that. What do you think of that?

... Hmm. It's good to have consent, but it's unexpected how to get consent.

I don't know what His Highness Lancelot wants to say. Could I be missing something fundamental?

I just want a little more explanation, but I can't speak of it in my shoes.

"… but I think the concerns of His Highness Lancelot are best"

"Well, don't worry if you are. Sister Foll is my dear cousin. I can't easily give it to a deacon just because I earn the trust of my life."

"... you're right"

No, what are you talking about? If you can't get me, a civilian, to be her butler, I can still tell the story.

But what do you mean, you can't give it to me?

Then isn't it as if Fol were to come to me? Did Foll tell you he wanted to try the maid?

Or... No, that's just not it. It's not Alicia, and it's impossible to say that Foll fell in love with me. I mean, she probably has feelings for Dr. Tristan.

Then maybe...

"I dare say it again. You are the benefactor of Sister Foll's life. So I sincerely appreciate you, and I'm not going to disturb you if Sister Foll wants to. But..."

... Yes, how could I not have noticed?

The original story is that His Royal Highness Lancelot gives up his engagement to his cousin and falls in love with Pamela, whom he later meets, because the coveted cousin was a stipulation to die.

I mean, he's in love with Fol now that Fol is no longer a dying statute.

And that, I mean, I'm in Pamela's shoes.

"You won't give it to Sister Foll."

The Villain Warrant is switching targets!

To be honest, I became the position to be attacked, Pamela told me, and from there I thought about the possibility that Lady Sophia would be in a crisis of dark fallen.

But no way, I'm totally unexpected that His Highness Lancelot, who became Pamela's posi and was the target of the offense, would stand in front of me.

... No, not if you're surprised. We need to make a quick misunderstanding.

"Your Highness Lancelot, please wait. I am Senior Folle - no, there is never such a terrible thing as wanting His Highness Follesinia."

"What? Are you going to say Sister Foll is not attractive!?"

Oh yeah, he's a pain in the ass!?

But, Miss Villain Warrant, isn't that surprising if you consider yourself a villain prince?

"His Royal Highness Forsinia is a very attractive man, but there is no way he can make a match, such as me, the butler. I know it's rude to imagine that."

"... Hmm? But Sister Foll said her identity wasn't important?

That's probably about Dr. Tristan - I don't know, I can't say it in my mouth by mistake, but if that's what she said to me.

No, I didn't hear that from Foll, so this is just a hunch.

"Regardless of the extent to which you treat me as a friend in school, there are too many problems with things given the opening of my identity. And more importantly, I'm not leaving Lady Sophia's side."

"... I see. Good, let's hope that word is true"

That's what His Highness Lancelot said and walked away.

... Apparently, for one thing, it helped.

But it was too soon to appease. His Royal Highness Lancelot's misunderstanding has never cleared up, and there are still two other routes left.

I should have thought a little more about what it meant to be Pamela's position.
