Crown Prince's Royal Guard Duty Logs - "Comments" Section
This is a selection from the "Comments" section of their daily rotating duty logs, where they can write anything they want.
Something tells me there might be a reincarnated person among these guys too (lol).
Since this is a light and fluffy world, please refrain from poking too many holes in the logic (lol).

**Year 624, Month 8, Day 23** — Submitted by: Pierre Dion
Today was my first time on guard duty for His Highness and Lady Elizabeth in the spring garden... Confirming Lady Elizabeth's position has gotten faster than before, hasn't it?! Kinda scary, honestly!
> Since this is the third tea party in the spring garden, she's probably already memorized our positions. And if we're positioned as she remembers, then there's no problem, right? (Gray)
> What kind of logic is that?! Scary! (Dion)
> I think that lady probably had a past life as a battlefield commander or something. If not, then a knight of heroic caliber. (Mac)
> Either way, it's terrifying... (Norman)
**Year 625, Month 7, Day 16** — Submitted by: John Mackenzie
The proposed modifications for the knight's sword that Lady Elizabeth suggested are kinda incredible, aren't they? Changes to the knuckle guard, how the blade is attached... This isn't the kind of thing your average noble lady—heck, not even your average man—would come up with, right?
That lady was probably a blacksmith in her past life.
> Nah, I think Lady Elizabeth's past life was probably a knight corps superior officer. (Norman)
> Superior officer lolol That tracks lolol (Dion)
> I heard a prototype of the improved model should be ready next week. (Gray)
> That's fast! Are the blacksmiths going too hard? (Harrison)
**Year 626, Month 4, Day 7** — Submitted by: Noel Gray
I'm grateful to everyone for our safe return from the diplomatic mission to Mithras.
But... I was surprised by His Highness's actions. I never thought *that* His Highness would sneak into Lady Elizabeth's bedchamber...
> His Highness has really changed since he met Lady Elizabeth, hasn't he? I prefer him this way. (Dion)
> Ditto. (Norman)
> Same here. (Stein)
> His Highness has become more expressive, hasn't he? It's a good thing. (Mac)
**Year 627, Month 6, Day 18** — Submitted by: Alphonse Norman
That was my first time seeing noble young ladies get into a hair-pulling, grappling brawl up close. I thought I was in a seedy tavern.
> That Duke's daughter, her hair is something else! How does she even do that? (Dion)
> You curl it, right? (Mac)
> Well, yeah, obviously. But that's not what I meant... (Dion)
> So... you curl it, right? (Stein)
> ...Yeah, I guess so... (Dion)
**Year 628, Month 10, Day 5** — Submitted by: Billy Stein
Lady Elizabeth lolol She ran towards some grass, yelling, "There's a side dish over there!" lolol I thought I was gonna die from laughing so hard...
> My abs are getting way too developed from this. (Dion)
> Holding the laughter in is worse for your core, isn't it? (Norman)
> More importantly, what's a 'side dish'?! Elaborate! (Mac)
> Even if I elaborate, it was just grass? The Macnagan Ducal House is one of the wealthiest in the country, right? Do they eat grass? I've never tried it... (Stein)
> Why don't you try some then (try some then). (Harrison)
> ...Another peaceful day. (Gray)
**Year 629, Month 2, Day 4** — Submitted by: Todd Harrison
Lady Elizabeth's cookies are amazing! I crushed one and threw it at the wall, and it stuck right in!! Amazing!!
> Just putting this out there, but don't throw food. (Mac)
> Foo...d...? (Dion)
> If you can eat it without problems, it's probably food. Those cookies... I don't know. (Norman)
> Theoretically, they are 'foodstuff.' ...Theoretically. (Gray)
**Year 629, Month 3, Day 14** — Submitted by: Pierre Dion
That shitty little lord who was a candidate for His Highness's aide is gone now. Conversations that are irritating just to overhear are something else, huh.
> Someone please commend me for stopping Lady Elizabeth from trying to bake sweets to relieve her stress after meeting that guy in the library. (Gray)
> Squee! Sir Gray, you're the best! (Mac)
> Sir Gray, hold me! (Harrison)
> Good work. And you two, be a little more serious. (Norman)
> I'm being serious! (Mac)
> Me too! (Harrison)
> .........Wait a minute. Hey, Harrison... (Gray)
**Year 630, Month 8, Day 3** — Submitted by: Alphonse Norman
Why does Lady Elizabeth only make unreasonable requests to me...?
> What happened today? (Dion)
> She asked me how to get onto the Hebel-wing's roof. ...Even if you ask me, I don't know. (Norman)
> But if you told her, she'd probably try to climb up, right? (Mac)
> It's probably because that time she asked you to lift her up and you actually did it. Like, 'This guy might humor my slightly unreasonable requests.' (Dion)
> *Slightly* unreasonable, maybe... (Norman)
**Year 631, Month 3, Day 12** — Submitted by: Noel Gray
If there's any need to visit the Macnagan Ducal residence again, could someone please go in my place...?
> I wanna go! (Dion)
> More importantly, His Highness looked pretty tired too. Is that family really that intense? (Mac)
> His Highness called it a 'demonic realm.' (Gray)
> What?! A demonic realm?! (Stein)
> No way... I wanna go even more now... Y'know, if I hadn't become a knight, I was thinking of being an adventurer. (Dion)
> First I'm hearing of it! (Stein)
**Year 631, Month 4, Day 26** — Submitted by: John Mackenzie
Norman's getting assigned as Lady Elizabeth's exclusive guard, huh... ...Lucky. (muttered)
> If you want a transfer, I don't mind. (Gray)
> For real?! (Mac)
> Go plead your case to Norman himself or something. No idea if Norman will take you on, though. (Gray)
> I'm on it! (Mac)
> ...He's gone. Gonna be lonely. (Dion)
**Year 631, Month 4, Day 28** — Submitted by: David James
Me and Cox, we start today! Looking forward to working with you!
> Lookin' forward to it. (Cox)
> 'Sup. (Dion)
> Likewise. (Stein)
> Yoro-yoro. (Harrison)
> ...With Norman gone, the number of guys who take things seriously has decreased... (Gray)
**Year 631, Month 7, Day 18** — Submitted by: Noel Gray
Lately, His Highness has been quite irritable due to a certain young lady who keeps picking fights with Lady Elizabeth. Be even more vigilant than usual.
> Roger. (Harrison)
> I mean, His Highness is scary, but Norman's scary too. He's super pissed. (Dion)
> I overheard Mac saying, "I hope that young lady doesn't have an accident or something"... I'm trembling... (Cox)
**Year 631, Month 8, Day 25** — Submitted by: Alex Cox
Lady Elizabeth lolol Her hair is in vertical rolls lolol That's insane, Gray! How did you withstand that?!
> ...Habit? (Gray)
> You can get used to that?! For real?! My stomach hurts like hell every day! (James)
> You guys still don't know Lady Elizabeth's true terror. (Dion)
> What?! That's scary! (Cox)
> Tremble as you sleep. (Stein)
**Year 631, Month 9, Day 19** — Submitted by: Noel Gray
Seriously, someone please take my place for the escort duty to the Macnagan Ducal house... ...I can't take it anymore...
> Chief! Hang in there! (Stein)
> Don't give up! (Harrison)
> I kinda wanna go, actually. (Dion)
**Year 632, Month 3, Day 3** — Submitted by: Pierre Dion
When His Highness starts agonizing over what to get Lady Elizabeth for her birthday... I find myself thinking, "Ah, spring is here..."
> I get it. (Harrison)
> I get it way too much. (Stein)
> If he's gonna worry that much, why not just get flowers or something? (James)
> This is why newbies... (Dion)
> Bullying of newbies by old-timers, not good, absolutely not! (Cox)
**Year 632, Month 12, Day 26** — Submitted by: Todd Harrison
Another year's ending, huh— Everyone, good work this year.
> Good work. And, congrats on the marriage. (Stein)
> I'm not jealous at all (crying tears of blood). (Dion)
> Good work. Looking forward to working with you next year too. (Gray)
> Next year, I wanna try going to the Macnagan Ducal house. (Cox)
> I'm getting married next year... (muttered). (James)
> I'm not jealous at all!! (Dion)
**Year 633, Month 3, Day 1** — Submitted by: David James
If you get checkmated with flowers as a gift, you really can't move, huh... His Highness is amazing... Mad respect...
> And his opponent is Lady Elizabeth, right? I have no clue what would make her happy. (Stein)
> But, isn't it like, "If it's from someone I like, I'd be happy with anything ♡" or... nah. Probably not, in Lady Elizabeth's case... (Dion)
> Well, it *is* Lady Elizabeth. I'm not even sure if she *has* those "typical young maiden" thoughts... (Gray)
> If it's edible grass, she'd probably be happy, right? (Cox)
> What kinda guy gives grass for a birthday present? No. (Dion)
**Year 633, Month 8, Day 12** — Submitted by: Noel Gray
I accompanied Lady Elizabeth for her dance lesson... My feet hurt...
> Mad respect for His Highness, who's still smiling through that. (James)
> Is His Highness maybe a maso—, no, never mind. (Stein)
> Don't! You'll get disappeared! (Dion)
> ...By who? (sighs) (Cox)
> You guys just don't get it. His Highness is a lol— Whoa, what are you doing, stop! (Harrison)
> If you all don't knock it off, I'm having the whole lot of you arrested for lèse-majesté. (Gray)
> Huh?! Me too?! (Cox)
**Year 634, Month 2, Day 29** — Submitted by: Pierre Dion
His Highness and Lady Elizabeth are graduating already, huh... Is it because I'm getting older? Time flies way too fast...
> I know. My memories from one and two years ago are all jumbled. Time passes way too quickly. (Harrison)
> Yours truly, early twenties. I don't get it at all. (Cox)
> You idiot!!! (Dion)
> The one who calls someone an idiot is the real idiot, standard procedure. (Cox)
> You're both acting like children. (Gray)
**Year 634, Month 6, Day 16** — Submitted by: Alex Cox
Why do young ladies talk to us...? I wish they'd just think of us as garden ornaments or something...
> It's because the young lady we usually interact with is Lady Elizabeth, so you forget. She's really considerate about when she talks to us while we're on duty. (Stein)
> Seeing that makes me glad His Highness's bride is Lady Elizabeth. (Dion)
> ...But when Lady Elizabeth talks to me, I get super nervous... I start thinking, 'Did I do something wrong?!'... (James)
> It's a rite of passage for those assigned to His Highness and those assigned to Lady Elizabeth. (Harrison)
**Year 634, Month 12, Day 29** — Submitted by: Billy Stein
Another year down, good work, everyone!! Let's keep giving it our all next year too!!
> Good work. (Dion)
> Good work. (Harrison)
> I'm having a kid next year! (James)
> Get lost!! (Dion)
> Well, at least one of us has managed to have a kid, so it's probably fine if you get lost now, right? (Stein)
> 'Fine'?! What's fine?! (James)
> Get-lost! Get-lost! (Dion)
> ...I'm glad I got assigned here. It's a bright workplace, full of smiles... (Cox)
> It's great that you're so positive, Cox. Looking forward to next year. (Gray)

Let's give it our all for tomorrow's security detail.
> Aye aye! Of course! (Stein)
> Leave it to us!! (Dion)
> We'll do it! (Cox)
> Man... we've really come this far, huh... (overwhelmed). (Harrison)
> Let's save the reflections for after it's over. Let's do our best! (James)
**Year 635, Month 5, Day 14** — Submitted by: Noel Gray
Good work today. Get some rest. Starting tomorrow, let's get back to business as usual.
> Good work. (James)
> Man, I... during the ceremony, I saw His Highness looking like he was about to cry a little... it was seriously intense. (Harrison)

> It's great that Lady Elizabeth looked so happy too, wasn't it? It was a wonderful ceremony... (Cox)
> I wanna have a wedding like that too... (Stein)
> In that case, first we'll need to procure the national budget. (Dion)

That's the Royal Guard quality for you
ME's Note:
Think of it like online message board. Give a topic and followed by comments. Just don't think too much about the logic behind it. I kinda imagining a weird paper log book where every passing guard knight could check and leave a message after someone post a topic.
Post a comment if you see any mistake.
