Guillain, deputy captain of the Imperial Palace Guard, looked around the room and said as if he had been frightened.
"Your Highness, I don't think it's sane to sleep in the same room as a man of such an uncharacteristic nature."
"Solon is a trustworthy man."
and Phyllia said clearly.
"Plus, there's an I.D. on the Duke's house and the Imperial School of Magic professor."
"But not noble"
Gillan said cold.
He comes from a great nobleman, and the lineage is said to be the oldest noble clan in the empire. Besides, his mother is also royal.
I guess if you're not even that kind of person, you can't be the deputy captain of the Imperial Guard, which values form and tradition.
There are many things about being aristocratic, some people don't nose for being aristocratic, and on the contrary, others are intensely aware that they are aristocratic.
Some people become arrogant because they are aristocrats, while others believe that they have a noble duty to save their people because they are aristocrats.
And from what I've seen, Gillan was a highly aristocratic person, for better or worse, sensitive to the difference between aristocracy and civilians.
Gillan says.
"By and large, the man named Solon, you think he was kicked out of the Knights where he was? It would mean he was incompetent."
"Solon's not useless."
"Then maybe you had a problem with your bare lines. It must have been dirty on the money and not fooled by the woman. The growers of civilians are greedy."
"If it's any worse than that about Solon..."
Gillan blocked Philia's words from saying so.
"Your Highness should also be careful. Unless you want to conceive a child and be offended by a lowlife."
For a moment, Philia didn't know what she was being told, she solidified.
The next moment, my face turned bright red.
You can say bad things about me.
But no matter how much, Gillan's attitude is too disrespectful to the Crown Princess.
Maybe he doesn't feel comfortable about Philia, the devil's daughter, either, but there's something called moderation anyway.
"Why don't you leave it at that, Lieutenant?"
I said, and Gillan responded accordingly.
"There's no reason to take your orders."
But you can't just shut up and watch Philia bother you.
"Don't you think you're the one who's too busy? It may indeed be in your hands to solve this recent case. [M] But I don't want you to put that on my nose. It's our guards who protect the Imperial Palace."
"If I had talked to the guards, I would have done so from the beginning."
"Admittedly, there was a traitor among our guards."
"Then you know why I couldn't talk to the guards about the maid's kidnapping, right?
"I can understand. but you can't agree. I repeat, it is the job of our guards to maintain security in the palace. I'm not calling them Knights of St. Sophia or the hero Solon."
"Nor am I going to take away your work. It was an emergency."
"I can't help it because it's an emergency, it sounds good, but if it fails, how were you going to take responsibility?
I didn't mean to fail.
"That's a lot of confidence. But they call themselves magic swordsmen, etc., but in short, if you're not confident in sword moves, you're not confident in magic, so they're the ones who fight with small-tip technology, right?
What Gillan says is indeed one side of the truth.
We magic swordsmen are fighting multiple skill combinations, but conversely, every skill can be halfway.
Although.
"That's not true! The arm of the sword, because Solon is so much better than you are!
and Philia said forcefully.
"Ho."
Gillan blushed.
It's about him who seems to have high pride.
The Empress will not be happy to see you below me.
"Amongst the elite Royal Palace Guards, do you say this man is stronger than me, who was elected deputy captain? Then let's try it."
"Try it?"
"Take the copper sword there. Two for me and you. Now we duel. Magic, treasure swords, nothing like that."
"In front of the Crown Princess. There's no way we can duel."
And when I said, Phyllia shook her head to the side.
And Philia stared hard at Gillan.
"I agree. Instead, if Solon wins, you won't complain about me being by Solon's side?
"Let's do that. Conversely, if I win, I will ask this man to leave the palace.
Two people, Phyllia and Gillan, have decided to talk to me to leave me.
You're weak, I think.
I wanted to avoid the hassle of dueling if possible.
But if Phyllia wants to do it, I can't help it.
"What's the matter, Scared you noticed? I don't know if he's the vice president of the Empire's strongest knighthood regiment, but I'm guessing he's no match for our guard."
Gillan said to mock.
I shut up and took the cheap copper sword in the corner of the room.
And I stood it up and looked back at Philia.
"Fight," says Lady Philia.
"Yeah. Because that's what I want"
With that said, Philia approached me softly and gave me a beautiful embroidered blue handkerchief.
That was a traditional practice during a duel.
This handkerchief is a testament to the fact that I fought for Philia and also that Philia wishes me victory.
Filia looked up at me to the top and said in a beautiful, clear voice.
"Solon, triumph over me!
