“Knight?” The Queen’s eyes brightened, “You have a knight, how lucky… I want one as well”
“Your highness, you have a whole knight order” The elf said laughing
“That belongs to the ‘Royal family’” Was the Queen’s muffled reply, “The older ones were sworn to my father, not I – Even if his successor was a donkey(1), they would still be respectful to it”
“As for the new ones” The girl’s thing eyebrows screwed up, “Every one of them dress up with powdered faces and slicked hear to drift around in front of o practice swordsmanshi+p Unbelievable, those people can’t even beat me!”

“I’ve said it before,” the Queen replied not looking up, “I don’t like to be stared at by so”

“That’s because the whole thing needs to be kept secret I can’t very well praise his bravery at defeating a vampire in public can I?”
“That’s exactly because of that that I said ‘if it didn’t happen again’ If someone finds out that a nobleman frequently visits the palace, it would cause… unkind rumors Especially someone like the viscount who is… exceptional in looks”

“Arggg, don’t use that ‘soirl covered her ears
“Talking about a lady, it seems the viscount is already married with an heir”
“—Get out!”
“Goodnight, highness” The captain silently closed the door
