I'm not trying to defend her but he did say the father is his mentor and he's not part of the his knights. A skilled swordsman = mercenary was her logic. I don't remember if she noticed that he's the one that argued with her father or not but it means he's strong enough to go against him.
She's just looking for someone who isn't going to be killed in 5 seconds by her father. Also she's pretty traumatic about the events of the her past life that her priority is to get away from them.
I know that this chapter is supposed to read as humorous but I can not help but feel extremely annoyed with FL.
First off before anyone starts to defend her in whatever i say, this is just how i feel about this chapter and her in this very specifc chapter and not an attack on the book.
I find it hard to believe that the FL or anyone in their right sense will let someone into their room on several occasions for what I'm assuming has being going on for weeks and not know;
A) their name
B) their occupation.
So now instead of this to be funny i find it annoying in this specific scene. If he was an abandoned man and homeless mercenary as she assumes why not wonder how in the world he got into the party, danced with you and wasn't questioned. I don't think being your father's disciple would make him free of questioning if he really as hopeless as she thinks.
Not to mention she's already noticing that her father's personality is deviating a little from the book, how can you NOT wonder who the heck the disciple is i just-
Maybe when i cool down and read it again it will be more fun but right now I'm just annoyed as hell

Edit:
And another thing i want point out, why in heaven's name is she so stuck in the belief that he's a mercenary? Because you met him in a shop?
By that very logic he has the right to assume you're just a random noble who has an interest in armour polish if not for the fact that he already knows you're father i just- GIRL, GET A SENSE OF REASONING I BEG YOU.
