The nobles worried.
Ariel rarely says selfish things.
And it is true that the seat of the Guardian Magician is open.
Although Sylphy is originally a commoner, she has certifiable skill as a Magician, and knows etiquette even though it is imperfect.
The ability is not bad.
And because it is not bad, there must be vigilance.
One of the Greyrats belongs to the second princess faction.
The one who is called "Luke" and is symbolically the Guardian Knight.
For Ariel, the Notos, are an ally.
However Paul Greyrat is a man who threw away his title after some discord with his parents.
If they are an enemy of the Notos, then consequently there is the possibility that they are an enemy of Ariel as well.
Was Sylphy not aware of that when she gave the name of Paul?
What was the meaning of that?
If she wanted to receive the trust of Ariel, she should not have given out the name of Paul.
That's something she should have understood.
Then, because she gave that name out, does it imply that they are not an enemy?
However if that's the case in doing so, then who in the world is the mastermind that is pulling the strings of this girl?
At least, there is no mistaking that they are indeed an enemy of Notos.
However the person who wants to be hostile to the large noble family of Greyrat are few indeed.
Saying and doing, it seems all the Greyrat are identical in that.
And so they hit upon something.
Of the similar Greyrat, there was one person unfriendly with Philemon who was the current family head.
It was Sauros Boreas Greyrat.
Sauros is always backbiting and criticizing that Paul should have become the family head, and not Philemon.
However he is not the type of person who would involve such a young girl in politics.
If that's the case then there is another one.
Philip Boreas Greyrat.
If it is him then, he would crush the second princess whom Notos supports, someone like him could definitely wind his hand around the strings of this young girl.
Sauros and Philip, and even Rudeus, they are all missing when the Fittoa territory disappeared.
Supposing, that they were the ones to cause the Metastasis Event, under this guise, it is possible to have something moving in the shadows even now.
Their first approach might just be a girl named Sylphiette.
If it's the case that Sauros isn't taking part, then the ringleader is Philip, for the sake of entrapping James who is to be the next family head, there is the possibility he may be acting to that end.
For the Boreas to usurp the seat of the next family head, it revolves around the supportive position of the second princess, and instead they try to become the support instead or something like that.
If that's the case, then the Sylphy who has been sent, can be considered an ally.
In either case.
The person pulling the strings is either Sauros, or Philip.
So the nobles concluded.
The groundless suspicion was complete.
Then a certain noble had a shocking idea.
[I know, how about shaking things up by making it look like she's the genius boy Rudeus himself?]
If Sauros moves, it is likely that Rudeus would be with them.
If the rumors are true, then the ability Rudeus is said to have is tremendous.
It's highly likely that Sauros and company are keeping Rudeus on hand as a trump card.
Hiding as much of his existence now, for the sake of adorning his future sensational debut.
When they appear, Rudeus, as a person with a legitimate blood relationship to Notus, comes out in the absence of those who were too afraid to act.
As a powerful piece who then takes part in backing the first prince whom Boreas supports.
Sylphy is assumed to be the person whom they sent.
If we reveal her as Rudeus, it may be possible to hinder their plans.
If we do some shaking, it may be possible to have them expose themselves.
To this, other nobles expressed concern.
[Wouldn't we be exposed immediately?]
[It may be better to conceal this one's social position by disguising her as a man. Be ready to evade and questions about him as much as possible.]
[But what if she's actually a spy they sent to probe us?]
[Like hell they will send someone that stands out as a chantless magician as a spy!]
[On the contrary, they might assume we would value her.]
[Either way, it will be easy to leak false information and draw them in.]
One by one the anxiety was crushed,
The nobles began to think that even a worthless plan like this was a good idea.
[Indeed, if she is a spy then the fake information leaked will cause unrest in the enemy camp. And if they are unrelated, then we have gained a strong Guardian Magician without having done any work. And should they instead try and curry favor with us, we'll go along with it.]
[But that's not all. She also resembles the princess in height. So we can tailor her to be a body double. If I remember correctly, we have such a Magic Item.]
[Oh, a manly form should be made to leave on a regular basis, since there are suspicious people usually nearby, it will not be thought that it takes the shape of the Guardian Magician.]
[As expected, the Lord is a clever one!]
And then.
The Second Princess's Guardian Magician [Fitts] was formed.
The Chantless Magic-using, Mysterious Genius Boy.
Because his face has been hidden with sunglasses, no one could perceive his true identity.
And the name is strongly associated to the 'Fitt'oa territory.
There was also a part that alluded to the genius boy who had been serving the Boreas family as well.
However, there is nobody who would understand the true nature and breeding of this one.
He should seldom speak, and when he must it should only be for a short while,
And any distinctions on it's actual gender should be difficult to identify.
Such a boy was born.
Sylphy had no say in this matter.
With the guarantee of one person on the promised arrangement of being able to search for information on the metastasis event, Sylphy was granted no right to veto, and also given no choice.
Although she had nowhere to go either, she was coerced into becoming [Fitts].
Pawn of the political power struggle.
Thus, at any rate.
Sylphy became the guard [Fitts] to Ariel.
---Supplemental---
Sylphy's hair had become white due to the effect of the metastasis transition itself, as well as exhausting all the magical power she had, and being in a state of absolute terror before and after the fall.
