'So she's indeed Anastasia. What the f*ck is she even doing here? Even if the Duke is the most powerful person in this region of the kingdom, he is still of a lower status than a Grandmaster,' I thought.
Anastasia wasn't only a Grandmaster but even led a famous S-rank Party,
Scarlet Flower,
So it would be very strange for her to work as the Duke's bodyguard.
Even if he was a Duke, the highest rank below the King, he was still just a Duke living isolated in a border area of the kingdom.
His level of authority doesn't compare in the slightest to the Dukes in the capital or other central areas of Herssian.
...
Of course, the Dukes of the capital were dead.
Killed by me in fact.
However, Anastasia and the rest of the people gathered here must remain ignorant of that fact.
"Why are you working as the Duke's watchdog? A famous Grandmaster shouldn't be doing this kind of job, you know?"
"..."
