Egg's Fear of Aryan

I think that egg has enough fear of Aryan that he can't trust the royal guard right there. He wanted to challenge Aryan without someone to back him up quite possibly. When dunk was in trouble, then he no longer was worried about his fun life. Guilty undertaker also points out strictly speaking, Aryan outranks egg. I'm sure some of those guards on some level, they're aware of the same thing. But when you have their internal monologue, you know, it's as real as it ever can be.
