"As informed by Ms. Aena Baudel, a platoon of the Imperial Guard has recently arrived at the Fenkor Sector. The Kuro Wolf Knights are keeping a close watch.
Remyll Ein reported on the current situation while looking over the documents at hand.
This is the conference room of the Royal Knights Headquarters. It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.
......, but there are two absentees today. There was a knight who came only to report by proxy.
But still, if there are more than two, the knights meeting will be held.
"Yes, sir. Does anyone else have anything to report?
After Remyll, the next person to speak up was the head of the Guardian Knights, who controlled the center of the kingdom, Teulos Grever.
He is a large man who always wears armor and is called the "hardest knight" in the kingdom.
The "warding magic" he uses cannot be easily destroyed even by large demons.
That is why he is entrusted with the protection of the area around the royal palace.
Teulos, who has been the head of the Knights for many years, is highly trusted by the current king, William Tirok.
It is probably because of this connection that the Guardian Order has retained his son, Zeir Tylok.
However, Zeir was imprisoned for the "attempted assassination of Iris Reinfell.
Even though he was the second best candidate for the next king, his trivial emotions led him to commit the murder.
It was fortunate that he turned out to be such a man, I suppose.
William, too, seems to have no intention of forgiving his son's sins. ...... The House of Tirok still retains authority because it is the current royal family, but it is unlikely to be chosen as the next king.
Still, this Teulos man seems to be in favor of the House of Tirok.
It would be a vote of confidence for William.
I don't have anything to report, but I have a question.
A slender, bespectacled man with long hair raised his hand. I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but it's a good idea. He is Halon Stiletto, the leader of the 《Holy Armor Knights》. Remyll had several meetings with him just as the imperial inspection team arrived.
Beside Hayron, you can see his favorite long sword.
The other day, he saw a sword that belonged to one of the "swordsmen" that Rui No killed, and said that he wanted to use it.
You can find a lot of people who are interested in this kind of thing.
What is it, Halon?
Did you find all the 'rebels' in the guardian order? It seems like it's been a long time.
We're still working on it. ...... is the answer.
"I see. If that's the case, I'll send a few investigators from my Order. If it takes too long, I think it will be a problem for the future.
That's...
That won't be necessary. The king has entrusted the matter to Theurous. It's not our place to interfere.
Remyll intervened in their conversation. Even though they are in the same knightly order, they continue to keep each other in check like this.
This is because it has to do with power.
It's not that Remyil is interested in power, but he dislikes those who try to establish a cooperative relationship only on the surface, even though they are from the same country.
In that sense, Remyll appreciates Teulos.
Even after what happened to Zale, Teulos did not abandon the House of Tirok. I guess that's what being a loyal vassal is all about.
This is a similar situation to the current Remyll.
It is customary for each Order to nominate a person to be the next king.
The Knights of the Kuro Wolf will nominate Iris Reinfell. She is currently the first candidate for the position of "Princess of the Sword," but few people know that she is not aiming for the position of king, nor is she interested in it in the first place.
If Iris declares that she will be the next king, it is almost certain that she will be the king at this stage.
But Iris is aiming to be a knight.
The king is also in a position to protect the country, but he is not allowed to stand on the front lines and fight.
That was not an option for Iris in the beginning.
Remyll has never discussed this matter with Iris in depth. As the daughter of the knight-errant Garlot, he respects the path she chooses. However, there was also the idea of persuading Iris if she thought about the country. I don't know if she'll agree to that.
I don't know if he'll agree. ...... It's true, the king left it to him. You can pretend the question never existed.
"Then I hope each of you Knights will take care of what you have reported. I'll report it to the king.
Yeah, you got it.
Understood. By the way, how's King William's health these days?
...... is relatively well, I'd say.
Really? That's good news.
Any more questions?
No, thank you for your time.
Then we are dismissed.
And so ends the meeting of the Captains of the Order.
Haylon's last question to Thewlis was also on ...... Remyll's mind.
William has been in poor health for several years, and his public appearances have been few and far between.
After the incident with Zale, he had even fewer opportunities to be seen.
As Remyll left the conference room.
"Why don't you wait a moment, Remyll?
It was Hayron who called out to him.
"...... Haylon or . What is it?
That's what I was talking about earlier.
Ah, the rumored Order of Magic.
Haylon reported that an organization that exists within the kingdom is becoming more and more active.
The Order of Magic is known as the Blue Fauna. It was an organization named after a man who was once known as the Wise Man. They are a group that advocates for the rights and position of "mages", called the "Magic Superiority Principle".
The Kingdom of Gardea is not an advanced country when it comes to magic. No matter how much you claim your rights, you'll be able to listen to them but you won't be able to gain an advantage.
"There are some demons that are immune to magic, I understand that. But some of them are extremists. But there are extremists among them who will use their power to show it. I just saw one of theirs near the Fenkor compound. I'm warning you to be careful.
"...... Surprising. I didn't expect you to warn me.
"Really? I think you and I are going to get along just fine.
I think I can 'get along' with you," he said with a wry smile, and left.
I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that," he said.
It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.
(...... but)
There is something else going on here, too.
It's just Lemire's intuition, but Haylon is up to something. I don't know what he's up to,......, but as Haylon said, the Kuro Wolf Knights must be wary of what they should be wary of.
It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.
"Knight Commander Remyll Eyn!
"What's with all the ...... one after the other?
"......?
No, it's nothing. What's wrong?
Actually, there's someone here who'd like to see the knight-errant.
...... I have a visitor? Master Aena?
No, it's a woman by the name of Marielle Schweizer.
"...... What?
That's the name of a woman Remyll knows very well. After all, it is the name of the sister of Alta Schweizer, Remyll's most trusted subordinate.
