A fellow orchardist, it's a pity they must fight otherwise they could share tips on protecting fruit trees.

I loved that dialog. Think about the number of times Juliette actually showed respect for anyone, much less someone blocking her path. When this is over I suspect there won't be any mocking laughter. Really she treats the undead better than most people.
Interestingly, If anything can get her to recognize that she's actually good at using her sword it would be him. She may suspect he's going easy, but it seems clear that she actually understands and respects his oaths.
Also, does anyone else find it ironic that the Knight is the one dealing with the nice Grove and explicitly says it's not the kings. Despite the "King" being an Arch-Druid.

I wonder just how fast she's speaking here.

Its anime/dnd rules. Talking is a free action. As such it is unbound by constraints like time and distance.
That was unexpectedly kind and compassionate of her, actually. And yet not unexpected; she knows what she values. In this case, unlimited eternal loyalty... and, you know, with him being dead there's no peasant girl swooning to be annoyed at. Plus, he gardens!
Her not recognizing her own power is in brand, but even so? She made up, named, and executed a brand new A+ rank attack, just for him.
I have to wonder if she'll carve a statue of him for her own gardens, to memorialize his undying devotion to the throne he swore to serve. Perhaps even learn to carve a fountain... with her sword.

Separately, this guy has seen sword princesses, and they were apparently much like her pugilist sister; far beyond the rabble... but far from an A-rank sword saint, too.
Until Juliette, of course.

Sir Carrius really deserved better. If there's an elven heaven, he'd better get the comfiest bed up there.

That one retired bartender did. I think they were trying to maintain plausible deniability or think its a royal plot.

Hey, the Sword Princes does have a house.
Meanwhile, I trust Juliette to be able to tell the difference between brass and gold. I mean, that's a stupid lie for him to say.
Also, high purity gold is terrible for anything like silverware.

Still thinking that the elf swordwoman is actual royalty if only cause all the others died.

That might be the first legitimately evil speech Juliette has made. Pretty evil, smart evil too which is the most fun kind

High purity gold is not even good for coins.
And so the princess will fight... a chicken.

Anything but that! Juliette and Coppelia would be in trouble if they fought a chicken:

Fair enough, they'd be in udder disarray.
I love how Juliette transposes one word and the gets distracted further by her one perfect tool to solve every problem... including uppity peasant druids.

Juliette: "Do you really think a crown gives you power?"
Aaand.... that's surprisingly astute and insightful, actually.
Hiding out in a cave at the peak of the highest mountain waiting for Juliette to help complete the task?
Here. This.
The first time we heard it, there was considerable humor in it.
Now? It's plain simple facts. That is indeed her role in the kingdom, to be its boot of authority.
For me, a lot of Juliette's draw comes from the confluence of her outright ridiculousness, her actual insight, her martial skill, her willingness to actually do work and endure relatively poor conditions to fix things so she can go back to gardening (with her sword) and reading trashy romances, and, importantly, her actually leaving her kingdom and subjects as a whole better off than it was before she swept through.
Also her many moments of knowing exactly what she is... while still leaving things better than she found them.
Unfair and partial. Yep!
Euwhatever the peasant has been found... unworthy.
This is great.
I can't tell if it came from the history lessons she failed to evade or her trashy romances, but, yeah, it rings true.
And back to her genuine insight. I really can't find anything provably false about this statement. I'm also sure Tywin Lannister would generally agree.
