Confidentiality
How many times have I sat on this bench like this, waiting for Aristes?
"I'm sorry for keeping you waiting."
His words are polite, but Aristes looks a little uncomfortable.
"Did something happen?"
"…Do you understand?"
"It’s showing on your face."
"I'm sorry about that."
Apologizing means don't ask anything. I guess that's part of it.
"Okay, my side servant Aristes approached me with the same expression as usual. Is this okay?"
"Yes. Now let's get to the point."
"Please"
"First of all, starting tonight, the school will impose restrictions on going out from the 20th to the 40th."
"Reason?"
"Ostensibly it's because of instability, but in essence, it's to be wary of attackers."
"It's not peaceful. But why is there an attack in a place like this?"
It is true that there are many aristocrats in this school.
But that's the future heir.
Most nobles have their successors spread out.
"Are they targeting me?"
All I can think is, they are targeting me, the prince?
"HAHAHA! Nice joke! Isn't that too conceited?"
"I’ll knock you down!!"
"Well, let's put aside the joke. We don't know what the enemy's purpose is."
"Is it so?"
"Yes, it's an attack that has no merit. However, we can't leave it as is, so we'll put in place countermeasures."
"Is it a restriction on going out?"
"Yes, it's easier to defend if the target is in one place."
"What about the defense?"
"There are five temple knights."
Will that be enough?
In terms of military strength, there is probably no problem.
"The captain is the famous Shelvim Penwood, so there shouldn’t be any problems."
"Who is that?"
"Hmm, the prince must have met him, right?"
"No, I've never heard of him."
"...I believe he was taking my place for a while."
"Hmm, that modest, chubby knight in his 30s?"
"Yes, that's him. Didn't you ask him his name?"
"I didn't."
A man who called himself [inferior to Aristes].
"Is he a famous knight?"
"He's a famous knight, so much so that his street name is mentioned."
Aristes says
He is said to be famous for his gentle and peaceful knight.
"Is it okay? Um... two knights like that coming to battle?"
"I understand that you are anxious, but… Hmm, Prince Ask."
"What?"
Suddenly Aristes uses magic.
It's the kind of thing that searches for enemies around you.
"There are no people around. I am now in a position to disclose confidential information to the prince."
"Is it related to Shelvim?"
"Yes, the prince has the right to know this information. However..."
"Do I have to keep what I hear a secret?"
"Yes, do you still want to hear it?"
I nod silently
"Then I will disclose information about the knight Shelvim Penwood to the prince. First, his true second name..."
