Disgusted, we walked silently side by side.
I was not at all embarrassed by the unfamiliar word “irreplaceable”!
As I was ignoring the person beside who was laughing and saying,「Don’t be so angry,」I spotted the knight just before we were about to return to the Queen’s palace.
Ryniel Abhrams.
He is the captain of the 2nd Kingsguard, with his trademark silver hair, blue eyes, and all-back silver-rimd glasses.
「Ohh, Ryniel!」
Before I can speak to him, Douglas-sama raises his hand.
「Commander Douglas, thank you for your hard work.」
Ryniel-sama returned a quick salute. And then the look he gave was stern.
「You’ve been taking your ti, haven’t you?」
Yeah, I knew you would say that.
Indeed, it took too long for to just go to Her Majesty’s office, so it’s only natural that he would say so.
「Don’t say that. I’ve been caught in all kinds of trouble.」
「Ah, that thing you always do?」
When asked, I nodded honestly.
The reason why one word, “troubleso,” conveys the situation is because the sa thing has happened many tis before.
「However, that is no excuse. People like that should be dismissed lightly. It’s stupid to deal with them. It’s a waste of ti.」
I totally agree with you.
「That was the plus today, so… I apologize.」
「Plus?」
Ryniel-sama asks , pushing up his silver-rimd glasses with a quick glance.
For a mont, I wasn’t sure what to say. I wish I could tell you the story as it is, but I am at a loss for words.
「Captain Colden was giving an escort here, and on the way, you know… how shall I say it…」
「Lover’s quarrel:「Not at all. Should you shut up for a mont? Douglas-sama?」…Like that.」
Let’s not complicate things, really.
「And so?」
I was used to it, and Ryniel-sama also lightly ignored Douglas-sama, prompting to speak.
「I was accused of sothing, and then the smug show started… A little sermon…」
I couldn’t find a word that fits better, and I’m going to be honest and say it. Douglas-sama, who is spewing「boohoo」 beside , I ignored and disregard it.
「…Self-indulgence, show…」
As I was listening for his reaction, wondering if he would get the ssage or not, Ryniel looked at with sowhat distant eyes and said to .
「…You’re in a tough spot, it seed.」
He labored over with a sympathetic voice, and I realized. This person had been a victim of that thing before.
「…My apologies…」
With indescribable feelings, I had no choice but to answer that.
Now, as Captain of the 2nd Unit, it’s a common sight for him to protect the queen, but in fact, he has only been in his post for about two years, and he was the Deputy Commander of the 4th Unit, then the Deputy Commander of the 1st Unit, before becoming the Commander of the 2nd Unit. So, Ryniel-sama used to be Raul’s imdiate superior.
Raul had been a mber of 4th Unit from the beginning of the establishnt of the unit with the Princess. However, he wouldn’t have been selected as a Captain from the beginning. He would have started as a knight in the common.
Usually, it’s the Captain and Vice-captain who escort the closest to the target of the escort. Other than that, the Kingsguard knights often have a tight periter. I think that was done properly. Because of Ryniel-sama’s character, no matter how much Raul was Priscilla-sama’s favorite, I don’t think he would give him special treatnt because it is a mission.
Then, Raul, who could not be near Priscilla-sama, would have to with his signature slanted thinking,「I swore to protect her. And I won’t let anyone interfere with that vow,」or「I will not give in. It is my mission to protect her,」I think it has been staged with an audience for Ryniel-sama. Ahhh, how ridiculous he is.
Well, for that mysterious hard work, for the experience, for the results, for the achievents, for the promotion to captain, I don’t doubt that it’s a big deal, but that doesn’t an it’s okay to cause trouble for others.
For my part, I think it was really fortuitous that Ryniel-sama beca the commander of the second unit. Although he has a nervous disposition, he is an excellent knight of the Kingsguard, does not make fun of others, and has no personal feelings about his work. He was easy to work with because he was a person who takes things for granted. Above all, as soone who has suffered the sa damage, I feel a sense of comradery!
「Well, good for you on that one.」
As if to compose himself, Ryniel-sama shook his head and looked at Douglas-sama, who was still giggling.
「So, what brings you here?」
When he received a cold stare, a cold tone of voice, and a cold expression from Ryniel-sama, Douglas-sama stopped laughing for a mont. By the way, I was also giving him a very cold stare, but he didn’t pay any attention to . Why is that strange?
「No, I just thought it sounded like a fun thing to do, so I just…」
Jittering…
「…I’m just kidding.」
「I’m sure you’re right. I don’t think the Commander has ti for that.」
「Of course not.」
「Then what?」
「This person looks like she’s in trouble, so I’m going to give her a helping hand.」
Snap.
「This person…? I heard words such as『this person』to a strange man that I didn’t think was soone who was appointed as the head of the Kingsguard, but I must have heard it wrong.」
「The lady-in-waiting, that is.」
Smirk.
「That’s the way it was, and it seems that the this person was indebted to .」
「No, it’s an obvious act.」
I can almost hear the sound of horse treading. You are brilliant to do all the checks and balances with just your facial expressions, Ryniel-sama. As soone who is easily pushed around by Douglas-sama, I would like to learn from you.
「…You guys act like you’re actually siblings or sothing…」
I tilted my head in puzzlent at the words of Douglas-sama, who muttered as he slumped his shoulders.
