"Hey, I'm glad you called me. I don't know, I'll have a drink first thing.
I'll tell you again, I'm underage. I'm underage. ...... or have you been drinking?

 I'm not sure if you've heard of it or not, but I have.
 It's not often that I call her, but since I was running late for work at the school, we decided to meet nearby.
 I had planned to wait for Remyll since I finished earlier than expected, but ...... she came first and was already drinking.
 I sat down in front of her, glass in hand, beckoning her to join me.

What would you like to drink? What would you like to drink?
I'll have the usual soft drink. And now, what can I do for you?
Wait a minute. You know what I always say. I've always said that you should at least tell me what's going on. How's Miss Iris doing?
I've got something to tell you about Miss Iris.
What? Miss Iris's ......?

 Remyll looks a little surprised.
 I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but it's a good idea.

I've heard that Iris is engaged to be married.
"Oh, an engagement. Well, considering the age of Miss Iris...? Engagement?

 I'm not sure what to make of this.
 I raise my right hand to stop her.

I raise my right hand to stop her. You don't know anything, do you?
"I don't know anything. Who was it?
The Rahmbergs, I'm told.
The Rahmberg's ...... Well, that makes sense to me.
Do you have any idea what that means?
Yeah, Haylon gave me something meaningful a while ago. It made sense.
"Halon... Halon Stiletto. Knight Commander of the Order of the Holy Armor.
Yes. You helped out with the imperial inspection team when they were coming over, so maybe you know him a little?
No, I've barely spoken to him. ...... Did he say anything to you, Commander Stiletto?
In the event that you have any questions concerning where and how to use the internet, you can call us at the web site. I'm sure you'll agree.

 I'm sure you'll be pleased to hear that.
 The five knightly orders that exist in the kingdom - of course they cooperate with each other, but they also have their own independent authority.
 Until recently, the "Guardian Knights" led by Theurus Grever were the most powerful in the country. After all, they were the knights who guarded the center where the current king, William Tiroku, resides.
 It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.
 ...... Even if Iris or someone else becomes the King, the fact that they were protecting the former royal family will not change. If nothing happened, they would have remained the largest power.
 But Zeir's scandals have weakened the Guardian Order.
 In other words, the Kuro Wolf Knights, to which I belong, are currently in a power struggle.
 With that in mind, as far as Remyll is concerned.

"Is it the Order of the Holy Armor that holds the Rahmberg family?
"That's right. In other words, the engagement between the Reinfels and the Rahmbergs implies an alliance against us. We need to see if the Rheinfels are actually agreeing to it. ......
"The Rahmberg family is famous for their magic, right? They don't belong to any order, though.
I'd say they're the best when it comes to magic technology. According to Haylon, the Rahmberg family and the Knights of the Holy Armor are working together to counter the magic cult.
I'm not too familiar with this magical cult, but ...... what kind of organization is it?
The name of the organization is "Bullfouth" - it is an organization that claims to promote magical technology. In addition, although it is not officially recognized, the magic society is led by the Rahmberg family.

 There are several organizations in this country that promote magic. There are a number of organizations in this country when it comes to magic, and those two are probably the biggest.

Both organizations claim to promote magic technology, but ...... can be categorized as conservative and extremist. I haven't had any major problems with them yet, but I've heard that Bullfuss is getting more active these days. --Well, I digressed a bit. Anyway, the engagement story is connected to the alliance between the Knights of the Kuro Wolf and the Knights of the Holy Armor, but if the engagement between Rahmberg and the Rheinfell family is concluded, it is highly likely that Rahmberg will be the king.

 If the betrothal were to take place, Iris would be the one to marry--that's what you're talking about.

Isn't it possible that Rahmberg will be the son-in-law?
"If it's just an engagement between two noblemen, then yes. But not the "Four Noble Houses". It's a kind of custom, and Miss Iris is not an exception. She'll be getting married.
"The custom of the Four Noble Houses? But it seems that Miss Iris is refusing the engagement.
Well, of course Miss Iris will refuse. But the reason for her refusal will be important. ......
"Reason? I think Miss Iris would say no because she is aiming to be a knight ....... You may not say this outwardly, but...


There's a lot of problems with people knowing that.

 Remyll pondered. It's been a long time since I've seen her in serious distress.

I'll tell Iris about it. I'm going to be with her on the day as an escort.
"...... That's my knight. I'm sure you'll be glad you did. ...... I've got a lot of things to think about, including the matter of Aena.
I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that. And one more thing - didn't my sister go to the Commander?
"Miss Mariel? No, she didn't come to me.
...... I see. Then may I ask you something about Master Aena?
There's nothing much I can tell you about that either. ...... The reason she came to King's Landing in the first place was to build a friendship between the Kingdom and the Empire. I didn't expect her to use the study abroad method, though.
It seems that she is going to enroll in my school.
...... I've been informed about it by other knights. By the way...
If you're including Master Aena's bodyguard, would you be open to discussing my salary?
You're really a good ...... knight, aren't you?

 I'm sure you'll be pleased to hear that. Remyll has a lot of problems, too, but I understand most of them.
 The only thing I don't understand is what happened to my sister.
