Princess

"Oh, Princess!

　The "princess" who appeared in the dueling arena was the girl Arto had saved from the dragon in the forest the other day.

　It's a great way to make sure you're getting the most out of your money.

Thank you very much for the other day, Arto-san. And I apologize for the delay in introducing myself. I'm Charlotte, Princess of the Kingdom of Lawrence.

I didn't know you were a princess, and I apologize for my rudeness.

　When Artoo bowed in surprise, Charlotte walked up to him and said, "No way.

If it weren't for you, I'd be dead right now. I am truly grateful.

　Gilmas and Captain Eraso, who were listening to the conversation, were so surprised that they were stunned with their mouths open.

　--It seemed that Artoo and the princess knew each other, and that the princess was indebted to Artoo.

　He had never even imagined such a thing.

I was able to see Arto-sama's ability again. I'm sure you'll be pleased with the results.

　--Hearing the word "knight," Eraso and the others shook their shoulders in fear.

　It is an existence that every adventurer yearns for.

　The princess of this country says that the incompetent in front of them is the closest thing to a knight.

My royal family would like to recommend Alto-san to the Royal Knight School at any time.

Oh, thank you very much.

　In the event that you're not sure what to do, you'll be able to ask for help.

I'm sure you'll be pleased with the results.

"Yes, by all means, please.

I'm glad you said that. But even the royal family can't give recommendations to everyone. In order to prove your ability, you need to complete one quest. Of course, we will pay you for it, but will you accept it?

"I understand.

Then I'll contact you officially later.

Thank you very much.

Mr. Alt. I really want you to become a knight. I have high hopes for you.

　The princess smiled and gently placed her hand on Alto's arm.

　--And then the princess's sharp gaze turned to Captain Eraso and the others.

And you guys are really pathetic, aren't you?

"--!

You can't admit that you've been defeated and then rant about the injustice of it. ...

Oh, Princess!　However, this person is a no-skill incompetent .... I'm not sure what to make of it. He must have cheated in some way.

　It's hard to logically deny what Elasor said.

　"You can't prove that you cheated, but you also can't prove that you didn't cheat.

　But.

It's absurd.

　That's how the princess put it.

If you make me feel uncomfortable by showing any more stupidity, I will punish you accordingly for your disrespect.

"--!

　As expected, Captain Eraso was forced to shut up when the word "disrespect" was mentioned.

I'm not going to write you a letter of recommendation for the Royal College of Knights anyway. Now get the hell out of here.

　The princess gave them a quick shove, and Captain Eraso and the others left, their bodies trembling with anger and fear.

　†.

　Captain Eraso and Guilmas came back to the guild headquarters.

"Hey, because you lost to that incompetent, you've humiliated me too!

　Guillermouth shouts at Captain Eraso.

"I'm sorry, too.

　Captain Eraso said, clenching his fist tightly.

Because of you, the prestige of our guild has fallen to the ground, we failed to conquer the B-rank dungeon and now we have to face the royal opposition.

I'm truly sorry.

　Guilmas was red-faced and angry, but at the same time he was thinking of a way to save the guild.

'Originally, I would have fired you right now. If you don't, I'll be left with the damage. That's not going to happen. So I'm giving you one last chance.

"... What's that?

I'm going to make sure that the incompetent Alto makes a mistake.

I see!　That's Gilmas!　Now we can prove that he's incompetent!

Look, we can't afford any more mistakes.

Yes!　I'm going to push him down!
