“Rose, why has that person come again?”

Edwin gestured to Linart, who had come today in search of the White Knights under the name of the deputy commander of the Guardian Knights.

“How would I know?”

I was somewhat anxious about his comment that he would see me soon, and it turned out it wasn’t a mere courtesy.

“You don’t know either?”

Edwin, who had been glancing at Linart talking to Fabian, asked with a face subtly filled with anticipation.

“Edwin? I also saw that person for the first time last…”

I unconsciously started to say that I saw him for the first time but hastily closed my mouth.

It was my first time seeing Linart since I possessed Rosebelia, but it wasn’t Rosebelia’s first time seeing Linart.

“You saw Linart Elizer for the first time?”

“I may have passed by and seen him, but I meant to say it was the first time I had a proper conversation.”

“Well, you do leave your seat quickly even when you attend the banquet.”

Edwin nodded with an agreeable expression but couldn’t take his eyes off Fabian and Linart. It was then that his clear black eyes sparkled.

“Rose, don’t you think we might hear what those two are talking about if we get a little closer?”

Feeling a restless premonition and attempting to slip away, quickwitted Edwin firmly grabbed my arm.

I surrendered and approached the main building where they were talking, led by Edwin.

“I heard that there is a separate class about demons in the White Knights.”

“Is there not in the Guardian Knights? But after all, His Majesty the Emperor specifically ordered it for the White Knights.”

Edwin’s prediction was correct. When the conversation of the two was heard, he raised his eyebrows with a puzzled look.

“The White Knights naturally need classes related to demons since they participate without falling into demon subjugation. But since the Guardian Knights will also set out for subjugation this time, shouldn’t our knights also take that class together?”

“You mean to take the class together here?”

A somewhat frivolous voice popped out of Fabian’s mouth.

“Is there any other problem?”

“Rather than a problem…”

“Those who teach classes related to demons were once White Knights and are now retired, so it would be convenient for the Guardian Knights to come here and take classes. Besides, aren’t the facilities of the White Knights the best and widest in the empire?”

“That’s true. After all, His Majesty the Emperor recently built it for us…”

No, Fabian? You shouldn’t back down there.

“Rose, is the deputy commander pushing you?”

“Are we really going to have to take classes with the Guardian Knights?”

Is this even a compatible combination?

In Rosebelia’s memories, the relationship between the White Knights and the Guardian Knights seemed quite deep.

“It must have already been settled at the higher level, so wouldn’t he have come here without hesitation?”

It was a plausible conjecture.

In the original, Linart did not go on a demon subjugation, so did he come to talk about classes with Fabian?

“Rose.”

“Huh?”

“The deputy commander is coming this way?”

Looking for an escape route and facing Linart headon, I showed an awkward smile.

“Nice to see you again.”

Linart, who had suddenly approached, smiled slightly and bowed his head to me.

“Hello, Deputy Commander.”

I was grateful that I didn’t kneel and greet him as I did last time.

“You may call me more casually.”

“Really? How can I…”

I can’t call you that casually.

I couldn’t spit out the rest, but Linart, who seemed to have caught what I swallowed, smiled faintly.

“You are the benefactor of our family, privately.”

“No, it’s okay. Since this is a public place, I will call you Deputy Commander.”

For a moment, his eyes widened in surprise, but a smile appeared again.

“I heard that my younger sister came to visit the Knights the other day. I hope she wasn’t a bother.”

“Why would she be?”

“Didn’t my sister say anything strange to you?”

There was something strange that immediately came to mind.

“Her Highness told me she wanted to learn the sword…”
리나트 seemed troubled as he touched his forehead. It seemed Daisy had been pestering Rinart about wanting to learn the sword.

“Please ignore that. With her frail body and childish nature, wielding a sword. I’ll discipline my little sister well.”

“Are you simply dismissing it as a lighthearted whim?”

Rinart’s lips slightly parted, as if he hadn’t expected that question to be returned.

“Have you had a proper conversation with Miss Daisy? It may indeed be a lighthearted whim, as you assume, Deputy Commander. But what if she truly wants to learn? What if Miss Daisy has a desire to do something?”

“……”

“Shouldn’t you find out what Miss Daisy’s true feelings are before you say she can’t do it?”

For a moment, Rinart’s complexion paled. He blinked with a stunned face, then slowly nodded his head.

“You have a point. If she genuinely has something she wants to do, it would be right to support her.”

As if he had organized his thoughts, Rinart gave me a faint smile.

“By the way, …”
