Soon, Adel’s group reached one of the palace courtyards.

“Now, Adel. Show us what you can do.” Belzen turned to his subordinates. “Men, in position!”

“Sir! Yes, sir!” Three men stepped forward to stand before Adel. They towered over her, as she wasn’t particularly tall, even for a woman.

“Since you are so confident in your own abilities, I take it you would have no trouble facing three opponents at once.”

Adel grinned, unfazed by Belzen’s smirk. “I’m afraid this won’t do, Commander Belzen. Let me be straight with you: this isn’t enough.”

“What?!”

“Overwhelming fighting prowess is a must for someone who would serve as Princess Euphinia’s knight escort. Three opponents is nowhere near enough for me to demonstrate what I can do!”

“The nerve!”

“Bear in mind that I have successfully killed an aberrant monster in profane land. Can these three men do the same? I suspect not. There’s no need to go easy on me. Fight me as if I were an aberrant myself!”

“You asked for it! Squad One, step up!”

More than ten people with impressive builds encircled Adel. They nearly hid her from sight.

“Belzen!” the king protested. “This is far too—”

“Your Majesty, you heard Adel. This is by her own request,” Belzen countered.

“Your Majesty! There is no cause for concern! I shall overcome this challenge and prove myself worthy!” Adel threw out her chest and crossed her arms confidently, but the gesture came off less intimidating and more just captivating.

“Uh, did she just raise the bar for me too?” Melulu sighed. She was already a knight escort, but was nowhere near as powerful as Adel.

The mercenaries who had been standing by in the garden added to the clamor.

“Whoa, she’s facing that many?! Hey, boss lady! Don’t lose!”

“Looks like you’re having fun! Let me join in! Bwa ha ha ha— Ouch!”

“You absolute moron! You take one step in there, you’ll be knocked flat in a second!”

Those who had come from the audience chamber were taken aback at the men.

“Wh-Who are these people?!”

“Bandits! There are bandits in the palace!”

Some knights were so alarmed, they were even ready to draw their weapons. Melulu tried her best to cover for the former gladiators.

“Wait a minute! I know how they look, but they’re the mercenaries who follow Adel and Mash! They may be uncouth, and I can’t vouch for their character, but they do listen to their leaders!”

“If Adel is accepted as a knight escort, do we have to allow them into the palace as well?”

“Th-That must not be! The palace will be sullied!”

“Uh-oh, this isn’t good,” Mash said. Revealing the men this early may have been a mistake. It had to happen eventually, but in this case, later was probably better than earlier.

“Oh, are you Adel and Mash’s companions?” Euphinia asked sweetly. “Would you like to come here to get a better look?”

The princess was someone who treated everyone respectfully and amicably, and the former gladiators were no exception. Unfortunately, the reaction to this considerate gesture was the opposite of what she hoped.

“No, Your Highness!” Adel shouted. “There is no need!”

Mash hissed.
