A/N: This chapter is from Yulian’s POV
ーーーーーーー
“According to your previous words, you had told this to His Highness Albert, right?”
In the room where Anna just left, Yulian asked Sieghart.
Although there was almost bloodshed happening in the room, he still needed to stay overnight there.
Yulian knew that it would be a long night.
Maybe Anna read the atmosphere and decided to brew tea.
Before being an aristocratic daughter, Yulian was amazed by her excellence as a maid.

Moreover, in the end, he made him kneeled and apologized.
Looks like the same thing happened in the drinking party with the knights, so he had been careful about it, and at that time, he was asked to accompany Sieghart drinking and he must be drinking more than the usual amount.
“It looks like you were able to make up with Miss Anna.”
Originally, the cause Sieghart was drinking that time was because he was awfully rejected by Anna.
Yulian followed Albert to the academy as his escort, and since then, he wondered about his first behavior.
It seems that there was a misunderstanding but previously he was suspicious towards Miss Rottnel who was clearly a person who was nothing but a mass of goodwill.
At first, for the establishment of the engagement with Princess Lily, he saw his action as he was taking measures to keep Violet away since she was the closest to that position, but it seems that was not the reason.
Before Yulian noticed, the ill-feeling had gone, and the relationship between Sieghart and Violet had become friendly.
If it was prolonged, the prime minister Brium would have come out and put a hand on it, so Yulian was relieved as he stroked his chest.
“Have I… made up with her? I have been only showing my uncool side to Anna, so maybe she was getting disappointed in me… Besides, I made her cry earlier.”
“…”
Are you really saying that? Yulian almost let it out from his mouth but he was able to endure it.
From the appearance, Anna was more beautiful than those other aristocratic daughters, and from the inside… or rather, her skill, is amazing.
Yulian was always amazed by her high-level skills that were comparable to the ones who worked as the royalty’s shadow.
And that same Anna had the strong desire to protect Sieghart.
As the ones who had pledged loyalty towards their own masters, he was able to read the determination that was lit inside Anna’s eyes.

“Yuri, I have a request for you.”
Before it was decided that he was to accompany Sieghart, Albert rarely said so before Yulian stopped his brush.
“Sieg is returning back. It looks dangerous so can you accompany him?”
“I think many of Princess Lily’s knights and maids from the neighboring country are present… Is it still dangerous?”
Yulian who didn’t know the circumstances instinctively asked so.
Hearing that, Albert laughed as he was troubled.
“Unfortunately, it is. According to the report, since those people entered the castle, it seems Sieg’s poisoning attempts were increasing. So far, only several poison-testers have become sick, but we don’t know what will happen in the future. These happen inside the castle. The time when he leaves, it will be easier for them to poison Sieg. … Since the culprit is one of Princess Lily’s attendants, it is difficult to punish them now in here. In the previous case, the one who poisoned Sieg was the usual fraction, and it must be hard for them to make a move.”
Yulian was dumbfounded by the content of Albert’s explanation.
The escorts who were supposed to protect the royalty were looking for opportunities to harm him.
“I am afraid but to accompany His Highness Sieghart. But while I was doing so, who will escort Your Highness Albert…?”
“It’s okay. I have a shadow and there are some other escorts. But, Yulian you have to return safely. There is no other knight who is as reliable as you. Okay?”
“… Thank you for your kind words.”
Yulian kneeled down and answered the person who smiled gently as always.
He vowed to live up to Albert’s expectation with all of his might.
◇
“I am sorry for making you wait.”
Anna had returned back to the room as she pulled a wagon like a maid.
Yulian noticed that by that appearance, Sieghart’s expression was becoming softer and loose.
With Anna preparing tea like this, the culprit must have known that the assassination was failed.
He was sure that the culprit was now trying to figure out how to struggle through it.
“… Your Highness Sieghart, may I leave my seat for a while? I will take that man as well.”
“… Okay.”
Sieghart nodded as he knew what would happen to that man.
Since he tried to harm a royalty, in the end, he would get a death sentence. It was just a matter of time.
It could not be helped since it was a self-defense.
As he was thinking about it, Yulian picked up that man and left the room.
His destination was that woman’s room.
The room of a maid who he had already kept an eye on.
