Julius:  “I accept it was a petty thing for him to say, but it was nothing that couldn’t be settled by a retraction. Normally, you would judge as much yourself, no?”

Reinhard:  “That is precisely so, my good Reinhard. Normally, I would.” Julius was removing the ceremonial decorations from his Knights of the Royal Guard uniform one by one as he looked back at Reinhard, his eyes betraying no emotion.

Julius:  “Had it not been this day, and had I met him in a different place, I might have simply let him be. However, it was not meant to be. My good name was sullied before those connected to the throne, and he spoke lightly of chivalry itself. Furthermore, he has not only failed to apologize but has heaped on additional insults.”

Action:  Just like that, the faint murmurs that had filled the parade square fell silent.

Julius:  “—I shall now chastise the base ruffian who has besmirched my knightly honor! Any objections? !”

Knights and guardsmen:  “—! !” Abruptly, a wordless typhoon roared through the air over the training grounds. The gathered knights and guardsmen shouted, their voices creating the gale.

Action:  No doubt they saw things very simply: Julius was their representative against Subaru, the man who had disrespected them all. Never in his life had Subaru stood before so many people directing such hostile emotions at him.

Subaru:  “Odds are about seven hundred to zero with no one betting on me. I’m so unpopular, I could cry…”
human
Action:  Truthfully, it chilled him to the bone; his body was filled with an overwhelming urge to fall to his knees. Yet, his heart was calm, and though his limbs felt heavy, they did not shake. It was not that he had resigned himself to his fate. Subaru really didn’t understand the mental state he was in when Julius spoke up again.

Julius:  “Now then, before we begin, I shall ask once more: Do you intend to apologize for your earlier impropriety and ask for forgiveness? If you make a full apology for your repeated transgressions here and now, I shall pardon you.”
human
Subaru:  “Repeated transgressions, huh. I can’t think of any… And apologize how?”
gpt
Julius:  “Put your forehead to the ground with tears in your eyes. Or, if you find it more fitting, roll onto the ground and show me your belly to curry favor like the good lapdog you are.”
human
Subaru:  “Neither choice is very elegant, so if you don’t mind, I’ll pass on both.”
gpt
Action:  No doubt he’d never expected Subaru to accept.

Julius:  “I see,” Julius murmured to himself curtly as he finally handed his knight’s sword to one of his fellows standing beside him. He accepted a pair of wooden swords in its place. “Properly speaking, it would not be strange for a man to cut you down for your foul tongue. However, you are Lady Emilia’s vassal, whether she desires it or not. Accordingly, I shall face you using these wooden wasters.” Any objections? asked Julius’s eyes.
