「Fuohohoh!」

I stuttered and turned around at the strange laughter that suddenly ruined the serious air.

「Who’s there!」

No, no, no, I’m saying this in a dressed-up way, but it’s definitely not right. I don’t notice it because I’m just a lady-in-waiting, but this man is supposed to be a knight.

「Buhu, no, gohu… sorry, sorry.」

He was laughing so hard that I was inwardly thinking, Uwaah, when a person came out from a pillar in the corridor. I was seen by a troublesome person.

「…Commander.」

Yes, the Commander of the Kingsguard and Captain of 1st Unit, Douglas Warren-san.

Raoul’s face tightens. That would be true. His boss saw him in a pitiful place.

「It seems that eavesdropping is a good hobby of yours, Douglas-sama.」

「That’s why, I’m apologizing, kukuh!」

“Don’t be so angry,” he laughs, walking slowly toward us.

「It doesn’t look like you are apologizing at all.」

「I wasn’t eavesdropping on purpose. It’s your fault for having a lover’s quarrel here in the first place, isn’t it?」

「This is not a lover’s quarrel.」

I was just proving the innocence of unjustified suspicions. It’s outrageous to call this a lover’s quarrel. I don’t want him to say anything unpleasant.

I glare at Douglas-sama, who has stopped beside me. I guess he found it funny to see me like that. He gushed again.

「Uhh… Commander. Are you and Marsha… close?」

Raul must have been suspicious of me and Douglas-sama casually conversing like that. Raul asked him in a fearful manner why I, a lady-in-waiting, and the Knight Commander were getting along so well.

「Nhn? Well, we’ve known each other for a long time, so we must be close, right?」

I don’t know what he thought, but he put his hand on my shoulder with a sarcastic smile on his face.

「…That’s…!」

Why does Raul look shocked there? It’s really bothersome.

It is true that I have known Douglas-sama for a long time. But it isn’t a sexy story that would shock Raul. I can’t help but wonder why Raul didn’t notice, when on second thought he would have immediately recognized it.

Douglas-sama is the Knight Commander. He’s also the captain of the first squadron with His Majesty. Moreover, he’s the adopted brother of His Majesty The King. He’s a person who grew up with His Majesty before he assumed his position and has been by His Majesty’s side more than anyone else. It’s normal for His Majesty to come to see his wife, Her Royal Highness Princess Myra. Naturally, Douglas-sama will be coming with them.

Their Majesties are very close. They are so close that it’s hard to believe that they’re in a political marriage. They’re so close that they have a daily tea time for the two of them in their schedule. In other words, we have seen each other every day for the past nine years since I became Myra-sama’s lady-in-waiting. It would be more difficult to say, “Don’t get close to them.” It is necessary to be friendly with moderation in order to do my job smoothly.

「Douglas-sama.」

I call his name as if to admonish him, and then slap his hand on my shoulder.

「Oops, I guess I shouldn’t have done that in front of your fiancée. Sorry, Captain Colden.」

「…, Not at all.」

The way he says it is deliberate and disgusting. I can already tell that he is absolutely amused, which makes me even more annoyed. And why are you apologizing to Raul? I would like you to apologize to me first. I may be old, but I’m an unmarried lady, for one thing.

「By the way, why were you guys having a lover’s quarrel here? You’re at work, right?」

I wonder if he was satisfied with the ridicule in his own way, said Douglas-sama. Raul, his back slightly straightened, as if a switch in knight mode had been flipped in response to that question.

「Yes, Her Highness Princess Priscilla has kindly allowed me to escort her to the Queen’s Palace.」

「Her Highness The Princess did?」

“I’m just being generous, but it’s none of my business,” he grumbled inwardly.

「I met Her Royal Highness on my way home from the Oval Office, and she agreed to give me a lift.」

I supplemented Raul’s words and told him. Since he had eavesdropped on what Raul and I had just said, this level of supplementation should be enough for him to grasp the situation.

「Ah, is that so? Then I’ll take over the rest.」

Showing a moment of contemplation, Douglas-sama said.

I was hoping he would say so.

The expected line of dialogue makes me smile a little, and Raul’s eyebrows twitch slightly when he sees it.

「But…」

「His Majesty asked me to give you a few words, and I had something to do with her, so it’s only fitting.」

Raul would not back down, and Douglas-sama piled on the words mercilessly. He also lightly pressured Raul in a merciless manner.

「…If the Commander says so…」

He seems to be hiding it, but it is obvious that he is frustrated.

Well, that’s what happens, doesn’t it? There is no way he can beat the Knight Commander, so he should just go back to being honest, but this is what happens when you have a strange rivalry with him. Raul’s pathetic appearance made me feel a little pent up.

「Captain Colden’s fiancée is someone I would not trade for anything. I will protect her well, and she can go back without you worrying.」

「…Then, please do the rest.」

Raul bowed his head, albeit reluctantly, in a knightly gesture.

「Oh, got that. See you later.」

「Hah, excuse me then.」

And so to be turned away. Raul turns on his heel and heads back.

I looked up at Douglas-sama, waiting until Raul’s back was out of sight.

「…That was definitely a misunderstanding. What are you going to do about it?」

I was so honestly thankful, but now it’s all ruined. What is this『irreplaceable person?』I was the one who annoyed Raul by saying things that increased his misunderstanding.

「Would have spiced things up nicely, I’m sure.」

「What spice? I don’t need it. It’s just going to be a hassle.」

I am sure Raul thinks that I and Douglas-sama have an unusual relationship. I bet he’s absolutely intoxicated in his own world, wondering how long he has been betrayed, or how long he has not nodded his head in marriage to himself because of what happened with the Commander.

Ahhh, enough, that’s really disgusting!!!

I held my head and hung my head.

Seeing me like that, Douglas-sama laughed and said,

「I’m not lying to you, though.」

I couldn’t stop thinking about it.

「…Enough!!」

He’s really, really, had the bad character!!
