I removed the sword from the statue. Then the guard panicked. But when he noticed that it was a sword for the statue, he calmed down.
Because it's not the shield. He calmed down because it's the sword and not the shield.
"Seeing your reaction, this must be really expensive, right? Do you think you can fight me when I have this sword? The quality seems to be good enough to call this a regular sword instead of just part of a statue," I provoked the guard.
From my perspective, it looks like he's really calm because he thinks that the shield is okay. And he doesn't seem to care about the state of the statue at all. But he doesn't want me to know that. But I already know about it.
"With your strength, it shouldn't be hard finding a legal job instead of stealing. Why are you stealing things?" he asked me.
"Stealing is profiting. Other people do the difficult part and I will steal everything they have. It's fun," I said.
