Just as Ars had expected Vio to throw vicious comments at him, the latter merely broke into a soft smile. “…That means your skills are amazing, right?”

“Huh?” Both Night and Liona looked at Vio in astonishment. Although Vio found their reaction somewhat strange, he said, “So your name comes from the orphanage?” 

“Yes, the director, I mean, my foster father, gave me this name due to the color of my hair.”

“What a nice name. It suits you well,” said Vio, a soft smile still playing on his lips. Such a sight caused Night to blush at once. 

Upon seeing Night’s reaction, Liona smiled in satisfaction. “I know, right?! I also think he has a good name. Isn’t that great, Night?”

“Y-yes. Thank you for your kind words.”

Night’s face was still flushed in embarrassment. Vio shot a grin at him. He beckoned to Legion, and Legion immediately approached him. 

“I would be honored if the knight who protects Princess Liona and my knight had a match, but please make sure not to overdo it,” he said. 

Legion held his hand out to Night. “Please treat me favorably, Sir Night.”

Night reached for his hand in return and gripped it. “That’s my line.”

The scene brought another smile to Vio’s face. He shifted his gaze to Ars. “Thank you very much, Your Highness.”

“What for?” asked Ars, confused. 

“Since Legion has been constantly by my side, I’m sure he’s growing bored. He would definitely enjoy the opportunity to move his body around.”

“There’s no way that could happen, Lord Violant!” said Legion. “If I’m to be honest, I want you to be more selfish with me. If Lord Violant wishes for it, then I, Legion Salt, would even climb to the summit of the Alpé Mountains!”

“The Alpé Mountains?” asked Vio,  taken aback a shade by his words. “No, I won’t ask you to do such a thing… Calm yourself, Legion.” A wry smile spread across his lips. “We’re in the presence of His Highness the Crown Prince.”

“Yes, please forgive me.” And Legion composed himself.

Legion’s enthusiasm surprised Ars. He had been aware that this knight was ridiculously devoted to his master from the beginning. But he found that devotion to have somehow increased all of a sudden.

Vio turned to Ars and said, “My apologies, Your Highness. Please excuse our rude behavior.”

“No, it’s okay,” Ars said. “Let’s decide when to have the joint training. Princess Liona, how about three days later?”

“Sure.”

“Then it’s decided. Violant, you’ll come as well, right?”

Vio averted his eyes awkwardly. “No, I…”

Vio’s strange behavior caused Ars to suddenly recall Cheval’s prior report. “Is it because you hate swords?”

“Y-yes. Your Highness is aware of it? I’m surprised my father would mention the incident from two years ago.”

“The incident from two years ago?” asked Ars.

Vio’s complexion grew distinctly pale at those words, but he regained his composure in no time at all. Shook his head with a smile. “No, it’s nothing… That’s right. Since my knight will be participating, I’d also like to watch.”

Ars felt something off about Vio’s response. Still, he nodded. He decided to look into it later. “I’m looking forward to it,” he said. “By the way, Violant, don’t you think you have too few servants? It should be hard for you to live in the castle.”

“No. I have three maids prepared for me. It’s enough.”

“But it’s dangerous if you only have one knight, right?” said Liona. “Ars, how about giving him two more? That knight who said that their maid was cute might do?” 

“Ah, Cheval?” Ars replied. 

At that moment, Vio chuckled.  “P-please excuse me… Did he really report such a thing to Your Highness?”

Next to Vio, Legion looked apologetic. “Please forgive my friend for saying something odd. I will scold him later, so please pardon him.”

“You don’t have to mind him. It’s Cheval’s fault for not realizing that he said something stupid,” said Ars, decisively putting an end to that topic. He glanced at the maid standing by the wall. She was a rabbit Locana, and certainly had a lovely appearance. Despite that, Ars didn’t think much of her because there were plenty of maids in the castle as beautiful as Rille.

“Okay, I got it. Then I’ll send Cheval and… one more person who is free. You should especially work Cheval hard.”

“Thank you for your concern. I shall humbly borrow them.”

Ars nodded and checked his watch. He had originally planned to return immediately, but he seemed to have gotten caught up in chatting with Vio for too long. Vio had traveled here to visit him. If he didn’t consider Vio’s wellbeing, the queen would scold him later. Vio’s way of talking was calming, and to his surprise, gave him a sense of comfort. This was the first time he had felt like this with someone other than Princess Liona. 

“We should return soon,” said Liona.

Ars came to his senses. Rose to his feet in an awkward manner. “Ah, you’re right. Violant, we apologize for staying too long under your current condition.”

“No, it’s the first time someone other than my family came to visit me. I’m deeply moved,” said Vio. “Thank you very much.”

Until the end, Vio did not lose his composure. This made Ars soften a little before realizing his mistake. He tried to change his increasingly good opinion of him. This must be Vio’s strategy.

On his way to the door, a thought struck Ars. “By the way, Violant,” he asked, “why are you the only one staying in a guest room of the royal castle?”

“My mother prepared it due to her worry for me. She thought it would lessen the burden of traveling. Your Highness, may I ask why you’re interested in knowing this?”

“It’s nothing. I was just a little curious.” 

An idea suddenly came to mind. “Let’s go for a long ride next time,” Ars said, before leaving the room.
