I was stupefied at the sight.

Oscal Baldur was standing in the middle of them. He smiled like a kind old man and said to me, "The Vice Captain of the Order of the Golden Cross and the holder of the title of the Sword King, Oscal Baldur, wishes to escort His Highness the Imperial Prince. May I inquire, where were you thinking of heading to, sire?"

"...I changed my mind. I'm staying in."

I closed the door while the muscles around my eyes twitched nonstop.

Escorting me, my foot. He was here to keep an eye on me!

"...Out through the balcony, then."

Leaving through the front door was clearly impossible. There was no way I'd fool the eyes of the Sword King. So, leaving through the balcony might be a better idea at this point. Unfortunately...

I flung open the door to the balcony, and stepped onto the railing.
