"Guiding the daughter of the King and Grand Duke? Who will take their first mission? As adventurers?" Ryker parroted, hoping it to be some fever dream or a joke.
Unfortunately, the stern look on Lariz's face as he nodded tell him it is real.
"Why?" he asked.
"Why I want you to watch them or why two princesses are becoming adventurers?" Lariz asked a question in return.
"To both," Ryker replied, earning a nod from the Crown Prince.
"Let start with the later. It is to make sure the members of the royal family have some experience in the outside world, where there will not be under the protection of the name of the Birak Royal Family.
It also to build characters and trained ourselves, as aside from some sparring, there is very little way for us to practice our fighting abilities, especially in real combat.
There is also the fact becoming an adventurer would allow them to meet other people, essentially building connections with talents that might want to join the Birak Kingdom officials. So, there is a lot of reason for the two to join the Adventure Guild.
As for the former, it because you are the adventurer we trust the most. With your strength, there is very few that can pose a threat to you, so having you with them will serve as extra protection.
Both my father and uncle had agreed with it, so, there is someone that need to relay it to you, in other words me," Ryker nodded, understanding the reasoning.
Though, "You do realize I might still be targeted by your siblings, and some of the Noble Family, right?" he reminded the Crown Prince, who wave it off.
"Don't worry, if you accept it, naturally you will get something that can protect from even those at the peak of Noble realm," Ryker gave it some more thought before nodding.
"Alright, when do they join in?"
"Well, they already join the Adventure Guild," Lariz answered, causing Ryker to arched his brows at the man.
"But they don't take any mission just yet. After all, their registration is done inside the palace, with the Branch Leader of Birak Capital City Adventure Guild coming to the palace, and giving them their badge at the same time,"
Ryker let out an under hum, after all, if their registration is done, it will cause some sensation. After all, why would someone already at the Genesis Sea realm would just become an adventurer.
Achieving such thing without becoming an adventurer usually meant one is part of a powerful family and have a terrifying background, or being lucky and find a treasure trove or some natural treasures.
So, it better to make them like adventurers coming from the peripheral territory, or even the other territory in the core region of Birak Kingdom, so there will be no question asked, or very few that is.
"And the Branch Leader agreed?" he asked, after all, it seem too much to ask the number one expert of the Adventure Guild for something like this.
"Yes, after all, my father and him had make a deal that he will make it easier for anyone from the royal family to be an adventurer," the Crown Prince replied. That make Ryker wondered what the deal is all about but decide to not care.
After all, he need to tell his lovers he would be escorting women when they took their first mission after all.

Ryker arrive in the Adventure Guild's building early, as he want to be prepared and took the best missions for beginners that fit their cultivation realm.
While Catherine a ready prepared some missions for him, it all above what the two princesses could handle, as all of it involve Noble realm experts or equivalent in some way.
So, he need to pick up some easy missions for them. Thankfully, Catherine knew about it and also be their supervisor, making it easy for him to monitor them in cases where he would be letting take missions on their own.
His musing was broken when a pair of hands landed on his shoulder. While that alone would not tell who it is, the blonde hair is telling.
"Dory, that will not surprise me," he said, before turning his head and see three more people coming his way. Lariz had told him the previous day that aside from the princesses, they will be accompanied by a guard each, both at the Genesis Sea realm and already have their adventurer's badge.
He looked at the two, profiling them. One of the guards has long light purple hair that reaches her bum, with bright purple eyes that glared at him. As for the other one, she has gray eyes, with golden-blonde hair that tied in a ponytail.
He memorize their look in case he need find them. At the same time, he also take note of their cultivation.
'Peak Genesis Sea, with a hint of forming a pseudo-domain,' he thought to himself before standing up and looking at the four women.
"Looks like all of you are here. Have you pick up the one that will represent you?" he asked. The four looked at him with raised brows, causing him to sigh.
"I have a lot of works ahead of me," yet, even as he complained, he could not help but feel excited, finally being a senior.
-x-
The four picked up the purple haired woman, who name is Sela. Aside from knowing her name so he can address her, there is no other reason to get too close with her.
He lead her to the mission boards and showed her several missions on it, "I have picked those for you to choose. For peak Genesis Sea, it would not be any trouble, but it is enough to be challenge for the younger one," he explained.
"Thank you," he could tell her voice is stiff for some reason but decide to not ask, preferring to do his job.
"In the future, have them both come here. After all, if they want to be adventurers, they need to do things by themselves," Ryker reminded, the guard nodding before walking away towards the four.
He wondered if he upset the woman somehow before deciding she is just not used to this kind of job, protecting the princesses while not revealing who they are.
He wondered if he should take a mission of his own before deciding against it. After all, he need to do his job and teach them, no doing his more dangerous missions near the princesses. He did not want to introduce them to the more dangerous aspect of adventuring just yet.
