The day when the child soldiers were officially appointed as knights.
The eyes of a man dressed in dazzling silver armor and a blue cloak stared beyond the mirror.
Eyes that have become deeper and sharper.
“Ey.”
However, his eyes, which seemed harsh at first glance, soon softened as he was thinking about someone.
“My princess was really looking forward to it today. That’s too bad.”
His daughter has been excited for a few days, saying she wants to go to the banquet after the appointment ceremony and congratulate them in person.
It was worth it.
It was a once-in-a-lifetime ceremony for Lilith’s closest twin and Cheshire.
Although Cheshire had not yet reached the age of 16, which was required for official appointment, he was given a position in the elite army a year early as an exemption because there was a lack of magic swordsman manpower.
“But.”
Enoch turned around and smiled.
“You two, do you have anything to say to me?”
The maids, Jetty and Jun, who kept glancing at Enoch, were surprised.
“M, my Lord… eugh!”
Jetty poked Jun’s side as she was about to say something.
“It’s nothing, Lord. You look so nice today. Have a safe trip!”
“Mhm, yeah. What time will it be after my princess’ salon ends today?”
“Oh, uhm, I’m not sure. I guess it’s the first day the salon opens, so no one will know, right?”
“Right?”
Today is the first social gathering of young ladies, from the Class 4 Octava to the Class 6 Diez.
The principle of this meeting is to be anonymous, without mentioning family name, status, or rank.
This salon was designed and created by Joseph, Enoch’s tactician, in order to blur the distinction between classes, starting with the lower classes.
“My princess…”
Enoch smiled and sighed as he thought of Lilith.
My daughter, whom I am very proud of.
Lilith, well aware that the purpose of the salon was to be part of the revolution, gave up the much-anticipated appointment banquet and went to the meeting.
“Oh, I’m late. I’ll go and come back. Good job today too.”
Enoch suddenly left the room.
The two maids were left behind.
Jun glared at Jetty.
“What am I trying to do? You should have told the Lord!”
“What if you tell him? Would you like to see the commander of the Paladins abandon the appointment ceremony and go to the Lady’s salon? He’s not even a mother? He’s a father?”
The two members of the intelligence guild <Red Hawk> were worried about the rumors they had obtained in advance.
“Then what about the lady! I wonder how intimidated she must be!”
“Ah, that’s what I’m saying. I’m going crazy.”
It was an empire that went through big and small changes over the past four years, but of course the class system that had been solid for hundreds of years didn’t collapse overnight.
This means that parents who send their daughters to the salon don’t readily understand the purpose of the ‘anonymous’ meeting.
So, after the salon, all the noble ladies are planning to go and meet their daughters as a surprise.
In other words—.
‘No matter what, I have to tell you what kind of family my daughter belongs to!’
―it’s like saying that.
“Aah, no way. It’s too scary to even imagine.”
Jun grabbed her head.
Lilith came out having fun with friends her age.
However, as soon as the salon is over, the friends will run to the arms of the ladies who came out to greet them, shouting “Mom!”
Meanwhile, Lilith, who still doesn’t have a mother, stands blankly alone…
“Aaaah!”
Jun, who had ended her terrible fantasy by rushing away, grabbed Jetty by the collar.
“What should we do? Should we go pick up the lady?”
“Are you crazy? What is the maid doing there? It only makes the Lady look funny!”
“Oh, sister. I don’t really understand the ladies. I feel sorry for my Lady. Imagine the army of moms that will gather there.”
A situation where she can’t do this or that.
Of course, if he knew the situation, Enoch would go get his daughter.
However, if Duke Rubinstein were to attend the event, the purpose of the meeting would be lost…
Even if they think that the purpose of the gathering is meaningless since all the noble ladies are going anyway!
On the one hand, they’re worried about Lilith’s strange state of mind as she holds her father’s hand alone in a place full of her mothers…
“Ooh sister! Wait! I got a great idea!”
“What is it?”
Jun’s eyes sparkled.
* * *
“What are you doing here?”
Theo Antrase was puzzled when he saw Lilith’s maids, Jetty and Jun, whom he had just run into as he was about to leave.
“Young Master, I came to see the Duchess. There’s something I’d like to ask…”
“To Mom? What is it?”
Leon suddenly intervened.
“Sons! Take care of your appointment, and see you at the banquet hall!”
At that time, Ordia, the Duchess of Antrase, who was coming down from the second floor, stopped.
“Wow, you’re at your best today.”
Her husband Alexei looked at her with admiration.
His wife, dressed up for the banquet, was dazzling in his eyes.
“Lady, are you seeing anyone? If you don’t have one, how about having a cup of tea with me today?”
“Get out of the way.”
Ordia pushed Alexei, who quickly approached and was joking around, and approached Jetty and Jun.
“What’s the matter with both of you?”
“They have something to ask Mom.”
As Theo spoke, Jetty and Jun hesitated.
They came here because they were worried about Lilith, but today is the twins’ knighthood ceremony, a once-in-a-lifetime event.
No matter how precious her niece is, is it only for sons?
“What’s going on? Tell me.”
“Today is the first day of my lady’s salon…”
“Yes, I know. But?”
Instead of Jetty, who hesitated even after trying her luck, Jun suddenly spoke.
“The ladies are going to pick up all the daughters attending the salon today! Then my lady will come home alone, and I’m worried!”
“What?”
Ordia was surprised.
It was a salon that proceeded anonymously to blur the line of the lower class.
But are there noble ladies that are going to pick them up?
‘Oh, yeah. I guess so. Anonymous social gatherings may still be awkward and unpleasant for nobles.’
If she thought about it, it was natural.
“Oh, then it’s a big deal. Are the parents going to pick up everyone except Lilith?”
“Whoa, what is that? Uncle won’t be able to go because of the appointment ceremony, right?”
Theo and Leon each said a word.
“If I had told you, the Lord would have gone somehow… But because I think only mothers are going…”
Jetty slurred his words carefully.
Since only mothers are coming…
“Yeah, I know what you mean.”
Ordia understood immediately and comforted their shoulders.
“Thanks for letting me know. If you hadn’t told me, it would have been a big problem.”
Then she looked back at the twins.
“Sons, today is such an important day, but mommy can’t celebrate it. I have to go see Lilith.”
“It’s okay, Mom. Of course, you have to go pick up Lilith.”
“Mhm, I’m fine too. Don’t worry about it, just go and come back.”
Ordia smiled at the twins, who responded willingly, and spoke to Alexei, who was standing behind her.
“Honey, please take care of the kids.”
“Don’t worry, my lady.”
Then she quickly began to climb the stairs she had come down again.
The outfit was elaborately decorated after two hours of painstaking effort.
Unfortunately, considering the purpose of the salon, she couldn’t go pick up Lilith like this.
“Guys, can you help me? I think I’ll have to redo my makeup.”
Ordia said, taking off her fancy earrings.
Jetty and Jun, who were crying at the sight of the wonderful aunt who chose her niece without even thinking about it, answered loudly and followed behind her.
“Yes, of course!”
“I will follow right away!”
* * *
At that time, the Empire’s Magic Tower.
“Is this trash brought here for something else?”
The Lord of the Wizard Tower puts both legs on the desk and looks arrogantly at the report.
“I give them money, a meal when the time comes, and study magic formula in peace, but this is the only result?”
The Lord of the Wizard Tower, Oscar Manuel.
He’s 21 years old this year.
“Do you want to just pack your bags starting today? You have to get cut to come to your senses, right?”
Even if he washes his eyes and looks for the pale young guy, he won’t find him.
To the Magic Tower researchers who are all older than Oscar, he is a boss who is literally the devil himself.
“Make it again!”
Crack—!
Several reports flew out of Oscar’s hand and split the air.
Is it confirmed to be overtime work?
“Lord of the Wizard Tower! Please, just for today!”
Karen, a thirty-five-year-old researcher, folded her hands in obedience to her boss, who was fourteen years younger than her.
“Please not today! I really need to go quickly!”
“…? You pack the trash and you have no conscience. Work overtime!”
“C, can’t I work from home? I will make sure to create and submit the report again by tomorrow.”
The devil waved his hand as if he had no second thoughts.
Then, holding the pen again, he took a quick glance.
He looked at the calendar on the desk.
3/14
Young Lady Salon.
Knight investiture ceremony.
Is it the Lord of the Wizard Tower’s calendar, or is it the schedule of a noble lady who lives somewhere?
Aside from today, Lilith’s schedule was written here and there on the calendar.
‘You complained about not being able to go to the investiture banquet, but ended up going to the salon.’
It reminded him of Lilith, who was upset because the belated salon schedule overlapped with the knight investiture ceremony.
“Lord of the Magic Tower, please, just for today. If you are kind to me just today, I will work overtime for the rest of the month.”
“Whoa. Are you still not going?”
Oscar glared at Karen, who was still pacing in front.
“Please. I have to go pick up my daughter today.”
“Daughter? Do you have a daughter?”
“Yes. Didn’t you know…”
They’ve worked together for several years.
Karen grumbled inwardly at her boss’s indifferent question.
“Where has your daughter gone? Are you picking her up?”
“The Young Ladies Salon is being held in the capital today. “It’s the first day.”
“….?”
Oscar’s head, which had been facing his desk again with no interest, suddenly lifted up.
“Why are you going there?”
“Yes?”
“Isn’t that an anonymous social gathering? The organizer sends someone to pick them up and take them there.”
“…You know it well?”
Karen was surprised.
Oscar, who paused, coughed in vain and shouted back.
“So why would you go there! Why is that salon anonymous? What kind of person goes to pick up a child without even introducing the family? My daughter is the daughter of the family, will you tell them that?”
“Yes, that’s right…”
“What?”
“The noble ladies are a bit extreme. No matter how anonymous they are, they say they need to save their children.”
“No, aren’t you crazy?”
Oscar opened his mouth.
“So all the kids who went to the salon today, their parents are going to pick them up?”
“Mothers. Most of the ladies I know will probably go.”
Looking at Oscar, who was dazed in shock, Karen desperately put her hands together again.
“Lord of the Wizard Tower, please. All the mother came to pick up all her friends, but my daughter came out alone. How hurt would a child be? she’ll remember that forever.”
“Ah, tsk. Really!”
Oscar got up and looked at his calendar again.
3/14
Young Lady Salon.
Knight investiture ceremony.
Enoch, the child’s father, has a schedule that he cannot miss.
“Don’t the old women have anything to do!”
Oscar, who was huffing and puffing, immediately put on his outerwear without even thinking about it.
And when he’s trying to go somewhere—.
“Lord of the Wizard Toweeer!”
—Karen was desperately holding on to his arm.
“Let it go! Let go of this! I’m busy!”
“Please let me go…”
“Yeah! Go!”
“…Really?”
“Yeah, you can go! Aren’t you going to let go of this?!”
“Oh, thank you?!”
Karen, who relieved, tilted her head as she watched Oscar quickly disappear into the distance.
“But where are you going, Lord of the Wizard Tower!”
Bang—!
Without answering, Oscar disappeared like a bird with its tail on fire.
The day when the child soldiers were officially appointed as knights.
