After their audience with the king, Reiji’s group was escorted to their room within Castle Camellia. It was the same room they’d used during their previous stay in the palace. A mix between a hotel room and a parlor, it was a spacious guest room furnished with two beds, a closet, a large work desk, two sofas, and a coffee table.

The sweet and gentle aroma of late-blooming gardenias filled the room upon their entry, fresh enough to perhaps have been placed there just ahead of their arrival. The party entered and got themselves settled in: Titania sat on one of the sofas and helped herself to some pre-made tea, while Graziella sat on the opposite sofa, spreading her arms over the backrest and folding her legs. Mizuki sat backward on a chair, hanging her arms over it and lazing about.

Reiji looked out the window. He could see soldiers in the middle of training. Though their spirited shouts and the clash of their wooden swords could be heard, it wasn’t so loud as to be unpleasant. After watching them for a while, he sat down on the bed.

“The king hasn’t really changed, huh?” he commented.

“I know, right?” Mizuki agreed. “He’s so gentle. It’s calming.”

It wasn’t like the king was entirely devoid of austerity, but his broad-minded attitude really put one at ease.

“I can’t see the strength he hides at all,” Graziella said, folding her legs the other way and turning a meaningful gaze to Titania. “I take it you inherited that from him?”

“Both my father and I are simply conducting ourselves in our usual manner,” Titania responded calmly, quietly sipping her tea.

“Huh? Tia, is the king strong?” Reiji asked.

“Yes. He possesses significant skill with a sword,” Titania answered. “However, due to his standing, he cannot participate in the ceremony for the Seven Swords.”

“That’s why Duke Hadorious participated in his stead,” Graziella added.

Just as Graziella said, Reiji couldn’t see that side of the king at all.

“Reiji-kun, does he look strong to you?” Mizuki asked, thinking the same thing.

“I can’t tell. Suimei might be able to... Or maybe not. Suimei didn’t really look at him like that either, so I wonder.”

“A fair amount of time has passed since he’s retired as a swordsman,” Titania said. “It’s possible he’s deteriorated somewhat compared to his active days... Not that I believe it.”

“I’m pretty sure Suimei-kun called him a sly old fox,” Mizuki said.

“M-Mizuki, that’s a little rude...” Reiji said. “It does sound like Suimei, though.”

“Right? Suimei-kun is definitely calling him that behind his back. There’s no mistaking it.”

At any rate, if he truly possessed such skill, then Almadious’s authority made sense. He didn’t maintain it by pressuring those around him. He did so thanks to his background as a powerful swordsman. That was how he maintained a proper pecking order in his court.

“More importantly, Suimei!” Titania suddenly yelled. “Of all things, to call the White Flame a klutz... How can he slander her like that when he relies on her every day for his housework?!”

“I’m sure he’s referring to the past,” Graziella said with an exasperated sigh.
