Niko stood behind Kino, lowering her head in confusion.

 Wherever there are people, there will inevitably be barbaric jungle laws. This is true for slums and also for royal cities.

 Don’t think that a place with high status must be clean.

Like the army, the imperial guards are a group of weak and strong predators. Nicole was often bullied when she was selected as a reserve in the royal city.

 The reason? It’s very simple. I’m short.

  The royal family’s selection requirements for the royal guards do not include height. After all, the royal guards are used to protect and kill enemies, not as decorations on vases. They only need to be willing to sacrifice and strong, regardless of whether they are tall or short.

But in everyone's unwritten consensus, the royal guards are generally tall, so it is the face of the royal family. They ride in front on tall horses when they go out, and accompany the royal ministers when they go in. If there are not those thin ministers

High, what does it look like?

 Therefore, a short person and a girl will be bullied during the reserve selection period.

 What should I do if I am bullied?

 It's very simple. Fight back and win, no matter what.

　　Can't beat you? Then you deserve to be bullied and you deserve to be beaten.

There is no need to mention Neeko's fighting skills. She can fight with border guards from border towns like Paladin and Baixa with ease.

 But among the 880 reserve imperial guards last year, her performance has always been at the bottom.

 This also means that she can’t beat anyone.

If you can't fight, you can only endure it. There is no place to complain, let alone expect the instructor to stand up for you.

 In the past few years that Nicole has been in the reserve force, it can be said that she has been bullied every day and being beaten has become a part of her daily life.

Even if occasionally a few comrades at the same time offered her an olive branch, they were all interested in her petite body and not out of good intentions.

 Because of this, Nicole is very introverted and has a low self-esteem in her bones. She rarely holds grudges and does not dare to hold grudges.

 She had long forgotten about the three big men attacking her, and even if she hadn't forgotten, she wouldn't dare to think about it afterwards.

Of these three giants, two have eight positions, and one is said to be a commoner, but in fact he manages money for the executive government. One of the eight positions, the financial envoy, has to be polite to meet him.

What about her? She is just a close guard, at the level of a centurion at most according to her status. How can she be compared with them?

It would have been good if the three giants didn't bite back on her for drawing the sword at that time. You know, drawing a sword against a Shangguan is a serious crime.

　Griefs or whatever, just be patient and pass away as before.

 But Nicole really didn’t expect that Kino would remember her injustice, and would even stand up for her afterwards. This was something she couldn’t even imagine in the royal city.

For the first time in her life, Nicole discovered that someone actually valued her.
