According to Harklight, everyone knows that she was only able to issue that proclamation because of him. To the knights who are unhappy about the present state of affairs, they were words from on high and he believes that they must feel that someone has appeared who will lead them.

Count Troyard says he exaggerates. On the other hand, rebel factions will undoubtedly appear and thus requests Harklight to do something about it. Harklight thinks Count Troyard means him to make a display of power.

Harklight braces and obeys.

In front of an office desk, Count Troyard thinks to himself about his wish to be close to Her Highness Act Two
