For Perfikot, she actually doesn't like being so ostentatious, but Foster insists on maintaining the dignity due to the Brandlis Clan.
Perfikot has no comments on this, after all, steam carriages were loaded onto the White Gem and shipped from Langton to the New Continent under Foster's insistence.
As for the knights guarding Perfikot, that was Samantha and Arthur's insistence.
These two knights, sent to protect Perfikot, always insist she must have enough guards, especially since the independence movement is quite rampant in the New Continent now.
If anyone wants to express some demands through assassinating her, and Perfikot lacks adequate guards, that joke would be too big.
So eventually, after Samantha and Arthur discussed, they left an Imperial Guard Knight and four attendants behind, along with half a flag team of Sword and Rose, while the rest always stuck close to Perfikot to closely protect her.
