"Lady Mira!"
Barnabas left the arena and went down to Mira-sama.
'Hey, what are you doing, old man? I'll disqualify you off now."
Wolf warned Barnabas.
'I thought it would be rude of me too, especially with the third princess here, so I decided to leave the arena.
'Damn it, What are you two doing here ......?"
"Sorry, Wolff. I'll call it a draw."
I didn't know how to end the match even if I had continued the match, so perhaps it was more convenient that Mira-sama appeared on the scene.
'Oh dear, did I interrupt you? You didn't have to stop the match."
"No, I can't not greet Mira-sama when you're here."
"Barnabas is right. The princess is here and we can't ignore you."
'Hmm, I see..."
Mira-sama is watching me, circling around me, as if she's trying to make a selection.
'What is it?"
"Nothing.'
"Ha, ha. By the way, what is your business here today?"
"Recently, Barnabas has been teaching me how to use a sword. And so today, too."
"I see. I have always said that the Royal Guard has some of the fiercest men and that it would be good if you could learn from them, but ...... it is not advisable for the princess to leave the capital."
"You talk so stiff, Barnabas. I would like to learn from you, Barnabas, who is considered to be the best in the kingdom. Even within the Royal Guard, Barnabas is rumoured to be the best knight in the kingdom. I also want to get out of this strict castle."
Mira is under heavy guard.
Even so, the king and Barnabas must be worried.
"Today is the aftermath of the match, so it will be impossible for you to practice with me. Also, Elias-sama, I had an errand for you too."
'For me?"
Yes. The martial arts tournament. The best and the bravest from all over the kingdom will be gathering there. It's held every year to find the best fighters against the monsters. The winner gets 1,000 gold coins and a place in the Order of the Knights. What do you think?"
"I'm afraid I'm not in a position to join the Order. I have no need of money either".
'Well, you are not greedy enough. The commoners are just looking for this opportunity to join. Is this why noble young masters don't have the ...... desire to test their abilities?'
'That's ...... certainly impossible to say that I don't. I can't decide on my own, so may I consult my father?"
"All right. I hope you'll give me a positive answer."
I decided to discuss my participation in the martial arts tournament with my father during dinner time.
Before that, I will check my status.

"Father, may I have a word with you?"
;What is it?"
'I have received an invitation from Mila-sama to a martial arts tournament. May I participate?"
'Oh, it's that time of year again. Elias, I have told you many times, but the Dietrichs cannot afford to lose. I will permit it if you win not just a victory, but a victory with a show of overwhelming power."
"I will surely."
I promised my father here that I would not be defeated.
Here, another person called out to Father.
"'Father, I want to go to the capital too."
It's sister Leah.
"Leah, what kind of a windbag is this? You want to go to the capital?"
'I want to go to the capital for the first time in a long time to enjoy the city's breeze. Don't get me wrong, Elias! I'm not going there for you! You want to go too, don't you Rhea?"
Sister Rhea nodded silently.
"I can't help it, neither can Leah. You don't mean to tell me you guys are going to join me, do you?'
'No way. Don't be silly, it's not like I'm just going to follow you Elias ......! Who said I'm following you because I want to be with you!
I didn't say a word, but .......
'I don't really understand, but it sounds like you don't want to go to the tournament. Rhea isn't going to the match either, right?'
Sister Rhea nodded.
"Then that's good. 'Then come back as soon as the martial arts festival is over."
"Rhea, why are you so quiet only when Elias is around? You're usually so talkative'
"'That's true,'You are the most talkative one in the family."
Oh, I didn't realise that.
They don't like me. ......
Sister Leah looks at Father and Sister Rhea in protest.
This is how I came to participate in the martial arts tournament in the Royal Capital.
