Chapter 12

“To come straight to the point first of all, I want to confirm whether or not you are truly an apprentice of Danbalf, will that be all right?”

The words of Suriman calls back Mira from her considerations of the differences between the two people.

“Ah, I do not mind.”

When Mira pulls out the Tower Master Key from the item column with a [Here it is.] she stepped up to meet Suriman halfway.

However, at that moment. The knight who could not let that pass suddenly jumped out unsheathing his sword.

“Do not approach any further! You bastard, you go too far with your disrespect!”

Together with an angry voice the tip of a sword pointed towards Mira.

Knight Reynard who acts as the head of the Arkite Kingdom Imperial Knight Guards. Just before the audience with King Solomon, he was told to not mind it even if the other party did not know some etiquette. Therefore, he endured the matter of not kneeling and manner of speech and held his words. However, it exceeded his boiling point when she approached the king without permission.

Although Mira did not know, there was a distance that one could draw near the king. The distance is decided by rank. For guests, the regulations were that they must not step any further than the black section of the carpet excluding special cases.

“What, I would not be able to pass it along if I do not approach.”

“You should hand it to the palace guard who waited next to you!”

When Reynard glances at Mira, he takes a deep bow and makes the proposal to Solomon.

Although Mira did not know his true character she shook her head at Reynard’s loyalty.

“Reynard, are you saying that I am inferior to such a young girl?”

Solomon became clad in a serious spirit when he spoke to Reynard. King Solomon, even though he had the appearance of a boy had governed the country for 30 years. Not only politics, in a world where military prowess decided the fate of the country above all. It can be easily guessed that Solomon’s true strength who kept reigning as the king of one of the countries in the world was his wisdom.

“No. It is not unreasonable! It is just that this person uses suspicious arts, it is just guarding against an emergency.”

Mira did not have any idea as to the suspicious art Reynard alludes to. It was no wonder, Reynard was only mistaking it for an art. He had the superior physique and selfishly concluded that he could not be defeated by a delicate girl in strength. Actually, strength correction was caused by Mira’s equipment. However because Reynard did not understand by what means Mira’s arts worked, there was no way to explain.

“The one called Mira. Do you have mind to do me harm?”

“Why would I do something like that? I only came to talk to you.”

“So she says. There are many things I wish to speak to you about as well. Will you not listen to reason? Reynard.”

“However, in the unlikely event that something were to happen to Solomon sama’s body, I …….”

Reynard clenches his fist tightly. However, the magician who has been keeping silent until now interrupted the back and forth exchange.

“How about we do it this way. Reynard and I will wait in the corridor in front of the office. If anything happens we only have to rush in. Mira sama is not Danbalf sama, in the short time it takes before we enter, there is no reason for something to have been done to Solomon sama.”

“Uhuh, Umu…..that is right still….”

“Well then we will do this. I actually wanted to join the feast too, but because Reynard is like that, there is no help for it but to keep Reynard company. I and Reynard san. Do you not think that this is enough?”

The magician who suggested this placed his hand on Reynard’s shoulder while smiling.

“It is a good plan. Joaquin sorry for troubling you. Let us try to hold a banquet in the near future.”

Solomon says this in a short breath and stands up.

“No no not at all, I do not deserve this. I will have Reynard treat me.”

“Nugu……..”

Reynard could not say anything but grimace.

“Then, shall we go?”

When Solomon says this, the three begin to walk to the office corridor.
