It was the formal bow of a knight to a noblewoman. And three times.

'Are you a knight, Lady Galungara?'

Oh. That's the sea dragon maiden. You've been noticed.

No, you wanted me to notice, didn't you?　I've done it three times.

And only a knight wears a patch of armor on his shoulder. I don't see the point of wearing a cloak indoors, do you?　There's a crest on that one, too, and by all accounts, you've come all the way out here to show it, right?

............ This is not good 'cool'.

Raphilia murmured, behind Iris.

Iris agrees. This is not really ”cool”.

You're going to be able to have a great time.

Take a lesson from your brother.

He's not trying to be cool, but rather, he's trying to be inconspicuous, but who's that cool?

It was not uncommon for a knight to be the escort of a leopard...

Iris asked, suppressing the voice in her mind.

'No, no. I'm a retired knight, but I'm already retired. I am now teaching the next generation.

The middle-aged man strokes his beard and replies quickly.

''Retirement for such a young man...''

I was originally a knight under His Majesty's command. ”I was originally a knight under His Majesty's direct command, but His Majesty ordered me to serve a nobleman. After that, I moved from place to place, and I was about to return to King's Landing when I was wounded in battle. His Majesty told me that it would be better for me to instruct the younger generation.

It doesn't stop.

The middle-aged former knight Galungala continues to talk about his profile.

And it's dicey. He's repeating the same story over and over.

Iris chooses to ignore it mid-sentence and gets right to the point.

Galunggala was a knight in shining armor for his king.

Because of that, he was ordered to serve a nobleman who was in the king's inner circle.

He was injured in battle before returning to King's Landing and retired as a knight. He was then left to concentrate on training young knights.

He is a guard for Royeld because his hometown in Galungara is near Royeld's family home. His wife died a long time ago, but he has a child and has been 'properly educated' to become a knight. While doing so, he was asked by Royeld's parents, who knew him, to escort him to Irgafa.

”...... Uncle Galungara is a fine ...... but he's a bit scary and a little scary...

Quite a lot of knights are not getting any younger!

Interrupting Royeld's words, Galungara threw out his chest.

''I have been Royeld-sama's guard up to this point, but if a demon appears, it will move on its own. You will not ask for my judgment. They ignore my instructions. I will not even observe the order in which the demons are defeated!

...... Your uncle is my bodyguard, not my command of the soldiers...

”Anyway, you're not getting it!　It doesn't matter what the logic is!

....... That's why I'm an uncle.

”You do not understand, Master Royeld. I am a knight who has served for many years!　If I say I haven't become, I haven't become!

”...... huh?

I want to go home...

─ I want to see my brother, Master.

I have to stay in the house until the ceremony is over? No way...

While synchronizing various things, Iris and Rafilia sighed.

''Therefore, Royeld will be given a rest in the mansion until the ceremony, and after that he will receive an education suitable for a lord.

Finally, just like that, Iris's father interjected.

”Gulungara is...

'I'm sorry, but I have to leave for King's Landing in a few days. I have a knighthood exam!　I have been charged with the task of overseeing and testing you!　Oh no, too bad!

No, no, I'm not disappointed at all.

In the first place, this is the place to introduce the next Ilgafa Lord, Royeld, and you're not the star of the show. There's no need to brag about it.

''I see. That's a shame.''

Iris gave an external smile, not saying what she was thinking.

I've been so busy with Nagi and his friends lately that I've almost forgotten how to give a perfunctory smile.

But if you are in a hurry, wouldn't it be better to go to the capital immediately?

No, no, no, I have to encourage the knight candidates to go to King's Landing.

Former knight Galungara's lips twisted into a smile.

''And moreover, a knight is an ever-present battlefield (Jozai Senjo). There's even a legend that the spirits of dead knights will test the candidates for knighthood who are careless and head to the royal capital!　Oops, it's only a legend!

...... legend?

Yes, sir. You're a legend!

The knight Galungara stroked his beard with a high smile.

It's just that you never know what will happen in the world. It is my mission to see what happens to the candidates for knighthood who are sifted out of the world.

Hahahahahaha, throwing Galungara, who is laughing high, out of consciousness, Iris activates her cheat skill, ”Shared Consciousness (Mind Linkage), Revised”. She tries to send a message to Nagi. But she doesn't respond.

She is out of range as Nagi said.

I'd like to clear up the information.

This person is originally a knight, and serves as an examiner for those who are to become a knight.

That's why he wants to go to the capital.

And he wants to do something to the knight candidates who are on their way to King's Landing.

I know from experience that the nobles love ”that kind of thing”. And if The Trials of the Knight is just a legend, then there's no reason for former knight Galungara to be here. I'm not sure. But──.

My brother tells me that you rescued a potential knight from a demon. She said that she rescued the knight candidate from the demon. Now, if you're still with him, just in case...

Somehow, I have to get the word out.

I don't have time to listen to you bragging about how trivial it is. I've got to get out of here.

When Iris thought that...

'...... tah tah tah tah tah tah!　It is!

Suddenly, Rafilia let out a strange cry.

'Master──no, Rafilia-sama!

Reflexively, Iris turned around.

I'm not going to be able to say that I'm not going to be able to do anything about it.

It was ...... tat-tat-tat!

'Master, you didn't expect ...... your brother's child before you know it!

Not yet. I don't mean that. I've been having some trouble with my disease... ......

As she says it, Rafilia snaps and snaps, and looks at Iris.

Iris, who immediately sensed the intent, raises her voice to the lords.

''I'm sorry. It seems that the maid has developed a chronic illness - 'oniiichan assbowshou'. I'll have to leave this place for a moment. I'll be right back!

Before the lord, former knight Galungara, and Royeld can say anything, Iris goes into the hallway, supporting Raphilia. Controlling the other maids who were trying to help her, she whispered to Rafilia in a whisper.

''Master. Call Aine-sama immediately.''

I don't care what you knights do, but it is the slave's duty to protect his master.

'The two of you can figure out a way to get in touch with your brother. Iris will return to her room after serving the guests appropriately for now. After that, you can tell Iris the results of your talk with Aine-sama.

Yes, sir.

It's not just knights who have a standing battlefield. The same is true for slaves.

The world is full of dangers, and it's not certain when someone will not appear to interfere with your brother's 'slutty life'.

When that happens, it's a slave's role to think of ways to protect their master in advance.

Gash.

Iris and Rafilia secretly clasped each other's hands and with a bang, they split off to the left and right.

Iris goes to the center of the mansion.

Rafilia went to the outside of the mansion.

They started to walk towards their respective battlefields.
