Upon the arrival of the knight he had dispatched, Ars immediately set aside the book he was reading and asked, “How was it?”

“After meeting Your Highness and the Princess, Lord Rupheus visited Lord Violant’s room and…” The knight seemed hesitant to continue his words.

Ars raised an eyebrow. “So he really…?”

“Yes. There was a bruise on Lord Violant’s face. He told me he… just fell down, but um… I find that hard to believe since Sir Legion was by his side.”

Ars perfectly understood what upset the knight. “…You’re right. There’s no way he would let his master fall before his very eyes,” he said, releasing a sigh. “We’ve dragged Violant into this mess. But since it seems like he wants us to turn a blind eye, let’s comply with his wish.” A pause. “I’ll apologize to Violant next time.”

Ars hadn’t expected Rupheus to vent out his anger on his sick younger brother. The internal situation among the Lesserhains appeared rather complicated.

“Don’t disclose this matter to anyone. Not even to Princess Liona.” 

The knight—Lantz—nodded. “Understood.”

Then Fion Rosine, the captain of the Knights of the Green Flash, entered Ars’ room. He had light brown hair and a gentle face. He was also the third son of Count Rosine, a cabinet minister.

As Fion knelt on one knee in greeting, he asked, “I’ve arrived, Your Highness. Do you require anything of me?”

Ars nodded. “Arrange two knights to be lent to Violant. One will be Cheval, while the other will be… someone who’s free? If possible, I would prefer someone who can work more decently than Cheval.”

Fion’s face twisted in a frown. “…Lord Violant? Did he approach even Your Distinguished Highness to indulge his selfish nature?”

Similar to how Count Rosine and Duke Lesserhain were hostile toward one another, Fion was on bad terms with Rupheus. As such, his reaction was expected.

If Ars were to say something in Vio’s defense, Fion would definitely disagree. Whichever way he worded it, it would merely give an impression of distrust toward Fion.

As Are contemplated on how to best explain the situation, Lantz said, “That’s not the case, Sir Fion. Princess Liona observed that Lord Violant only had Sir Legion to protect him during his stay in the castle. She grew concerned about the difficulties he might experience with only one knight by his side there.”

“So that is the case… Understood. This is also a good opportunity to investigate the internal situation of the Lesserhain family.” After a bit more thought, Fion suggested, “Your Highness, let’s send Lantz.”

“Huh? Me? But who will ensure His Highness the Crown Prince’s safety?”

“Your Highness, do you mind if I have Eddy accompany you?”

Within an instant, Ars replied, “Yes, sure.” 

It would be a lie to say that he didn’t feel pained at having Lantz leave his side even for a short period, considering how good the knight was at paperwork. However, Lantz also excelled at observing. He would be more competent in executing Fion’s intended secret surveillance than Cheval.

Fion said, “Listen, Lantz. If you discover something outrageous, report it to me at once. I will go there and forcibly expose them.”

“Yes…”

Aware of the discord between the two families, Lantz had a rather complicated expression. A similar expression overtook Ars’ features. He would like to avoid airing out the scandals of their kingdom’s families whilst in the presence of their foreign guests. “Fion, please don’t make a scene during the ball. I’m serious.”

“I will do my best.”

Fion’s reply only brought a bitter smile to Ars’ face. He found it to be rather untrustworthy.

At three o’clock in the afternoon, two knights from the Knights of the Green Flash arrived at Vio’s room. Just as Ars had promised.

The familiar blond, blue-eyed knight said, “Cheval Royston, at your service. I came under the order of His Highness the Crown Prince, and serve in the Knights of the Green Flash.” 

Following that, the other knight said, “I am Lantz Trafalgar. Pleased to meet you, Lord Violant.”

Lantz was a young man of slim build, a mature aura around him. His trademark features were his large green eyes and the mole under his left eye. His hair was also a conspicuous scarlet. However, as he stood beside Cheval, who had a strong presence, his own presence grew faint.

Briefly, Vio replied, “I will be under both of your care. Please consult with Legi regarding the specifics of your job with me.” He then shifted his gaze toward Cheval, a chuckle escaping his lips. “Sir Cheval, I heard from His Highness the Crown Prince that in your report, you mentioned that my maid was cute. Rille’s did not take well to that, so please accept her scolding later.”

“Oh!” Despite hearing that, Cheval still looked somewhat happy.

Legion shot Cheval a glare. “Better prepare yourself for a second round of scolding from me, okay? Even though I had no part in it, I felt very embarrassed on your behalf.”

“…You too?” Cheval’s reluctance was apparent on his face. However, he cleared his expression in an instant when he turned to Vio. “Lord Violant, I heard that you are unwell. Are you alright?” he asked. It was then that he finally had a proper look of Vio’s face. “Huh? What happened to your cheek—”

“Cheval, Lord Violant has been getting better since this morning,” said Legion.

Vio didn’t comment, only choosing to observe Lantz. He was the knight who had accompanied Prince Ars during his visit in the morning. After Rupheus’ visit, Lantz had once again stopped by to check up on him and seemed perturbed about the encounter between Vio and Rupheus.

“Sir Lantz, is it alright for you to leave His Highness the Crown Prince’s side?”

“Yes, this was His Highness’ order.”

“Then I guess it’ll be fine. Please inquire with Legi regarding which of the attached servant rooms are still unoccupied. Legi, I’ll leave it to you.”

“Understood,” Legi replied.

I didn’t expect His Highness to send me his personal knight… His aim is probably to observe me, but this seems awfully blatant. Is this really okay? Or perhaps he sent Sir Lantz simply because of his familiarity with the twists and turns of the castle?

Vio tilted his head in confusion. Afterward, he decided not to spare further thought into this matter. He wasn’t hiding any terrible secrets, after all.

Just as he came to this decision, a knock sounded on the door. Once Vio gave his permission, Jill stepped in. “I’ve returned, Young Master. I also wish to inform you that Mistress Viola will arrive shortly for a visit.”

“Huh? Mother is coming?”
