--The girl was a genius.
　Even at a young age, she was already as good as any real knight at swordsmanship.
　The girl's name was Marielle Schweizer. Anyone who knew her would have thought.
　Mariel was going to be the strongest knight in the kingdom, no doubt about it.

　But Mariel did not choose that path.
　One day, Mariel had a brother-in-law. A boy who was brought up in an orphanage by his father.
　He was a gifted swordsman, and his manner of speaking was not that of a child.
　The boy's name was Alta. He was the first person Mariel had ever encountered and understood to be undoubtedly superior to her.
　She must have taken him in because he would be beneficial to the Schweizer family.

　However, Mariel's thoughts were a little different. There was Arutha, whose talent with a sword was greater than her own.
　Then, he should be the knight. Mariel thought that the right person should be in the right place.
　Before Mariel could tell him her intentions, Alta said.

I'm thinking of becoming a knight.

　--This was something she could not have hoped for.
　If Arutha chose to become a knight, Mariel would do her duty as a lord in a remote area.
　In exchange, Arutha inherited the Schweizer family's "Blue Armored Sword".
　The sword that Mariel had already inherited, the sword that should have been in the hands of a lord, Mariel gave it to Arta.
　This is what I've been thinking since I first met him.
　Arutha is blunt with everyone, but doesn't want to get too involved with anyone.
　She is the same with Mariel and her sister Chloe. She is indifferent and tries to be irrelevant.
　Despite her absolute strength, Arutha has a fatal flaw. There is no obsession in Arutha.
　Nevertheless, Arutha was the youngest person to be knighted and showed great success.

　The Schweizer family received regular reports of her work in the form of letters.
　The reports were very plain, and it is likely that Alta only had duties that he could perform as a matter of course.
　Mariel had a feeling that even if he became a knight, there would be no change, and that Arta would quit the knighthood not long after.

　--It was only recently that there had been a change.
　Arutha became the bodyguard of Iris Reinfell, the "Saint Princess of Swords," who was known as the "strongest" in the kingdom.
　She is the only daughter of four major noble families who won a sword fighting tournament at the age of ten and is said to be more skilled than a real knight.
　She is the daughter of one of the four great noble families, and if Mariel had gone to King's Landing, her name would have been Mariel's.
　After getting involved with her, Arta changed. After getting involved with a girl named Iris, there was a gradual change in Arutha.
　From struggling with her personality to struggling as her teacher.
　This is something that Mariel could not do, and something that Iris has brought to her.

　But even if she was in a remote area, she would still know about the situation in King's Landing.
　Iris is the leading candidate for the position of King, but she does not flaunt her position clearly.
　If the Rheinfels insist on their position, it will be established immediately.
　The fact that he doesn't do so suggests that he doesn't intend to become king. ...... Such is the gossip.
　Of course, many nobles will not believe such stories and will support Iris, who is known to be the strongest in the kingdom. ...... Mariel is different.
　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for. In the event that you're not sure what you're looking for, you'll be able to find out more about it here.

　Then, what is the "path" that Iris is aiming for?
　Mariel has come to the capital to find out if Arta, whom Mariel recognizes, is the person she should be with.
　She had decided to check it out as soon as she got rid of the interferers.
　As a result, she ended up getting caught up in the 'incident', but it didn't matter to Mariel.

　This is the time for Mariel to assess the girl Iris.
You can find a lot of things that you can do to make your life easier. Both of these weapons were used by a group of assassins called the Swordsmen, and she has never crossed swords with them.
　Using those swords, Mariel sees Iris's true intentions.
As the one who was supposed to be called the "Sword Saint Princess".
