Fluffy, who was sitting next to me watching the match, asked me, "What does that mean?"

I answered bluntly, "How should I know?"

"You should know. Who else would?"

"Be quiet. Shut up."

"...."

I watched Lady Ashley cross the arena with a dignified air. Although I hadn't met many people in Maia who could truly be called knights, I felt that here, I was learning a lot about what a knight is and what kind of people are called knights.

Perhaps if I hadn't fallen off that cliff, I would have never known. When you look at it that way, this unexpected journey that began with falling off a cliff had gifted me a priceless experience that money couldn't buy. To think that what I thought was the worst situation turned out to be the best gift.

...What is life?

I was reminded once again that life is just such an unknowable, mysterious thing.

"Do you get it, Fluffy?"

"Get what?"

"Be quiet. Shut up."

"...."

The cheers of the crowd could be heard.

"It's the Golden Flash!"

"Waaaaah!"

Mixed in were some people chattering about the events of the previous day. Hmm. It seems I unintentionally raised her prestige again.

Who is Lady Ashley? She is the captain of the Stavanger Knights. And what is the Stavanger family? They are the Black Prince's most ardent followers. Therefore, it means that I have raised the Black Prince's prestige. The conclusion is that the Black Prince should be endlessly grateful to me.

I looked over at our dark prince, who was now inelegantly biting his fingernails.

"...."

Well... our prince didn't seem to have the luxury for such thoughts.
