I took the lead and started walking toward the interrogation room. Four knights surrounded me and started to panic.

「Hey, don’t go first. What the hell do you think you’re doing!」

「Naturally, I am thinking of exonerating my false accusation. What else is there to do?」

When I said this in a cold tone, the leading knight clicked his tongue irritably.

It was you who were dismayed by Douglas-sama’s declaration and fell behind. They probably didn’t expect things to get this big anyway, but they have to take responsibility for what they said. It’s not something you say to satisfy momentum or self-esteem. You can’t take it back.

「What a sassy bitch.」

「Well, I am flattered by your compliment. By the way, you are arrogant and rude.」

I smirk back. I couldn’t help but be amused as he looked at me as if he was about to shoot me dead, not hiding his irritation. He was a greenhorn to take on a provocation of this magnitude, hohoho.

「You are making fun of me, the Count of Brace…!」

「Fufufu, I’m sorry.」

I’m not mocking you, I’m just stating a fact. Please be aware of yourself, I know you can’t.

But still, you are the Count of Brace, aren’t you? I wonder. Your fellow knights have admonished you and you seem to be making an effort to keep your cool, but you are failing. You can almost hear them grinding their back teeth.

「Tch, whatever. It won’t be long before you cry anyway. I’ll forgive you just for now.」

Yes, you’re right. It won’t be long before you’ll be crying. Do you have your handkerchief ready? If you need me, I can lend you my handkerchief.

「That’s very generous of you, hoho.」

That’s for me.

The four knights and I headed for the hearing room, exchanging such sarcasm. And following us is Raul. You can’t not come, can you? Even though it’s your subordinate’s arbitrary decision, if I am found to be falsely accused, you will not be spared from punishment. It’s not a problem that can be dealt with by your favorite self-indulgent theatrical performances.

I am very angry with Sir Brace, but I am so grateful to him for giving me the opportunity to vent my anger in an unexpected place. I won’t go easy on him, though.

「We’re here, get in.」

Pfft, I got to the hearing room first, didn’t I? It’s not cool to say this line from behind my back. I inwardly mocked him, but kept my composure on the surface and waited for him to open the door.

「Has the clerk arrived yet?」

When I entered the hearing room, I was suspicious that it was empty and asked if anyone was there. I asked him if he was suspicious.

「Do you think we need a secretary for just for you?」

「This is a necessary rule. When conducting an interview or hearing, the presence of a clerk is required in order to keep an accurate record. It’s not up to you.」

Is this basic stuff? Are you really a knight?

「You don’t mean he doesn’t know about this, does he?」

I turned around and asked Raul and the other three knights behind me.

「It can’t be. Isn’t it?」

All the knights except Raul, who answered in this way, including Sir Brace, looked uncomfortable and clammed up.

「Haah, we have no choice. Sir Colden, you will go and explain the situation properly, and then the clerk will come. Then we will have a interrogation.」

「Hey, one of us should go. How dare you take our captain by the chin!!」

What is the matter with you? There is a proper procedure for the presence of the clerk. You know that they don’t just show up when you call them.

「I am asking Sir Colden, who’s in the position of captain, to do this because you lot aren’t getting anywhere. This is something that should’ve been done before forcing me to accompany you. You are the one who is making your boss, Sir Colden, clean up the mess. I suggest you look at yourself before you reprimand me.」

「Wha—…!!」

I’m seeing how the knight in shining armor says,『I’m going to interrogate you now, so come here right away』without going through the proper procedures. You can be sure that they will be furious that you are disrespecting the Secretary. Therefore, in order to mitigate this situation, Raul, the captain of the group, went there and asked them to come, bowing his head, and that kind of appearance was necessary.

.

「Leave it there. I’ll go get the clerk. That’s all right.」

It’s okay or not, it’s only natural for Raul, the boss, to take responsibility for the mistakes of his own people. And yet, it’s no longer possible for him to complain『But…』or whatever. You should at least educate your subordinates well. Aren’t you not managing them well enough!?

「…Please do.」

There are so many things I want to say, but I hold back. I’m wasting my time anyway. I’m going to be patient here to get the child knight and Raul to give me a hard time while I try to clear my name first, I think.

As Raul left the room, I put my hand on my forehead, as if to say, “I’m tired.”

「Lady-in-waiting-dono, this way, please.」

Perhaps seeing my condition, one of the knights led me to a chair. Unlike Sir Brace, his attitude toward me softened a little.

Ah, I guess he’s thinking of what would happen if my false accusation was confirmed. I was told that if I made my reputation a little better, I might be able to get a lighter punishment for my warm-heartedness. I’m sorry to hear that. I have no intention of doing so. But it was also tiring to stand and wait for Raul to return.

「This is very appreciated.」

I thanked him frankly and sat down in the chair. Some child complained again about that, but I completely ignored him.

I’ll deal with him when the clerk comes, so just shut up for a moment.
