127 127. Mariels Thoughts (1/2)

Mariel was being escorted by Remyll to the reception room with her sister Chloe.

I'm not expecting you to come directly to the headquarters. I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it'll be fine.

You could have waited for me at the Kuro Wolf Knights branch. I thought I'd take a look around King's Landing. Right, Chloe?

No, I'm not .......

I'm not a fan of this kind of thing.

It's like a borrowed cat. It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

So, Miss Marielle, what brings you here?

”Well, don't you already know what I want?

Marielle said to Remyll without losing her smile.

I'm not sure if you've heard of it or not.

No, I have no idea.

”Well, well, well. If I wanted to talk to you, it would only be about Alta, right?

”Alta, First Officer Schweizer. I'm sure he's been in touch with you about the latest developments.

Yes, of course. That's why I wanted to talk to you again.

”...... with me?

Yes. I was wondering if you could take Alta off of ...... Iris's escort duties?

What?

This is a great way to make sure you are getting the most out of your time with your family. It seems that she did not expect such a proposal.

You will find a lot of people who have been in the business for a long time.

Marielle chuckled.

Is that a surprise?

I'd be surprised if you didn't. Can I ask you why?

The reason is quite simple. It was the ...... ”Swordsmen” who were after Iris, wasn't it?　There are many other stories of recklessness, including those related to imperial organizations. I'm sure you'll be able to understand that this is the role of a knight, of course.　But I heard that the swordsmen who were targeting Iris also targeted Alta. And that's a whole other story. Do you think there is a possibility that the Schweizer family could be in danger?

It's .......

You can find a lot more information on the web.

--I'm sure you're not the only one who's had a bad experience. He knew that and that's why he became a knight.

So I'm not going to argue with him about that. The problem is that the Kuro Wolf Knights may be relying too much on Alta.

”Even local nobles are aware of the situation in the kingdom. In the future, the power struggle in the kingdom will intensify. ...... There is no doubt about it, right?　In the event that you have any kind of questions regarding where and how to use the internet, you can call us at the web site. It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

”Does that mean that the Schweizer family does not support Miss Reinfell?

No!　What do you mean?　Sister!

It was Chloe, who was sitting next to Marielle, who reacted greatly to Remyll's statement.

I'm not sure what to do, but I'd like to know what you think.

Don't panic, Chloe. We're still talking.

”But ......

It's going to be okay, okay?

...... Yes.

Chloe nodded and sat down again, following Mariel's words.

Once again, Mariel looked at Remyll and continued.

I'm not saying I don't support it yet. I met with Iris earlier.
