Yes, serek has a brain disease. In novel, Celestia portray serek as a person who has talent but no brain, so all this time the 'brain' and the reason serek become a magic officer is because of celestia's brain, as we know Celestia is a very smart person. What make him think he's superior that Celestia? Cause he have no brain and he thought that Celestia just an ordinary worker (such as a maid, or something) in the palace, not a soon-to-be emperor's personal secretary. And as we know that he doesn't have brain, he thought that being the woman the emperor favored is not any special. And he has a narcissistic tendencies. He thought that Celestia is still over him and he could win her over with smile and sweet talk as always. And as I always say, cause he doesn't have brain, he thought that the empress dowager is more on power than the emperor simply because she's in power longer than him. He (as in this, serek) doesn't know that the rope he grab is a rotten one. And you mean the bodyguard right? He's a bodyguard, but aside that his rank is a knight. As we always know, in most of this case, the knight doesn't have any right to say/do something without their employer's request/order. (Reference: princess shu, kill the villainess, the tyrant only perfumer, etc). Even when their employer is gravely humiliated, he couldn't do anything unless their employer want them to duel for their honor (reference: death is the only ending for the villainess). Cmmiw
