    This will happen after they realize that you are a human.

    Use this option on Royal Guard 02, while choosing "Clean armor" as the action. This is your turn.

    They will attack you with their usual four pointed stars, but there will also be a green projectile. Make your soul touch this green projectile at least five times.

    This will be easier than the other attacks because 02 is weakened, and his attacks will fly off the screen.

    After 01 accepts 02 offer to go out to ice cream, you are able to choose mercy and spare the royal guards.

    I'm trying to get past them doing what you said, but it's not working. Why? (I'm using the Switch version, FYI.)
    Community Answer
    This is difficult, and can take a while. Shine their armor. It will make them hot enough to take their armor off. Then they'll go do something else. If that doesn't work, check out YouTube for tutorials.

    What if I kill or run from the Royal Guards when they see each other as lovebirds?

    You cannot run from them, but if you kill one or the other, you just change some of the dialogue.

    I made a bad decision by spending all my money on tem flakes and can’t use them for HP, now my bag is full and the guards won’t stop killing me, what do I do?

    As you are out of Waterfall, you no longer need the tem flakes. Drop those items. Go back and find some other monsters in Hotland, like Vulkin and Tsunderplane. Spare them to earn more gold. Use this gold to buy items that will be beneficial for your HP, then go to spare the Royal Guards.
