A banquet was held to praise Louis Christopher’s new achievements.
“Wow, look at that person.”
“I heard you disappeared!”
“It’s the Earl of More. Archmage More!”
There are nobles who enjoy banquets, but there are also nobles who do not. But even those people participated, proving how deep the meaning of this banquet was.
“It’s the discovery of the century.”
“If it weren’t for the youngest member of the House of Windsor who came up with this theory, I wouldn’t have believed it. “I would have kicked the assistant’s ass for saying that was bullshit.”
Justin, who was attending the banquet, shed a drop of cold sweat as he heard the wizards of the Magic Tower whispering.
A table where five commoners gathered. There, they talked in low voices, unable to even touch the sumptuously prepared food.
“Prince Ruid, I guess you were a greater person than I thought.”
“Of course.”
Catherine shrugged.
“He is the only Confucius in the empire. It’s difficult if I don’t receive this kind of treatment. You guys may have thought we were equals at the academy, but I’ve never forgotten it. “He is one of the two most powerful people in the empire.”
“…Uh, Catherine. “I remember questioning Prince Louis at the beginning of the semester.”
“Well, that is!”
Catherine’s face turned red.
“When I was immature!”
But even without Catherine’s words, the commoners were feeling it keenly.
The difference between nobles and commoners. The spirit of a count who was gossiping at the academy was surrounded by wizards from the Magic Tower. A young lady who had been learning all her life but was ridiculed for having similar magic skills to commoners was courted by many young people.
I forgot about it for a while because of the rule that ‘everyone is equal at the academy.’
That they can’t even keep up with the nobles. That he is a person who lives in a completely different world.
“It’s unreasonable.”
Justin muttered absentmindedly. Catherine said, scanning the banquet hall.
“I understand why you called us.”
“reason?”
“Is that so? Why did you invite us to such a luxurious banquet? I’m telling you to be scared. “It makes you feel the difference.”
Catherine strode over and picked up the food. And then I took a big bite.
“You guys eat too. “Don’t lie down.”
Justin nodded nervously and followed Catherine.
The manners were perfect and the body was washed.
I thought that other than the value of status, there was nothing special about being different from nobility.
“Ha, I was wondering why there was an unpleasant smell in this glorious place.”
At that time, a nobleman with curly bangs and a somewhat unlucky appearance approached and started an argument.
He held his nose and mocked the commoners.
“Cockroaches gathered here?”
“…!”
Justin stepped in front of the nobleman.
In his field of vision, he saw a young lady smiling with her mouth covered.
There was no doubt that that lady had instigated it.
Justin started with the basics.
“We came by invitation. What can you say…”
Wow!
However, the nobleman struck Justin’s cheek without a moment of hesitation.
“How dare a commoner speak informally to a noble! Guard! Guards, come!”
Several guards guarding the entrance to the banquet hall hurriedly rushed over.
“Baron Iso. Is there a problem.”
“That arrogant commoner dared to insult me! Immediately punish him for insulting nobility!”
“He is also a guest who attended the banquet through due process. Even if you get angry, hold back a little…”
“Are you saying that your thoughts are more important than the supreme law?”
“Well, that is.”
‘…What I forgot was not my position.’
A fire flickered in Justin’s eyes.
‘What I’ve forgotten is the true face of nobles.’
This was the original appearance of nobility. Dirty, ugly and selfish are nobles. For a while, I was in the utopia called the Academy and forgot about it. Justin picked up the handkerchief with trembling hands. nobles and commoners. A relationship that can never be equal. However, if you were a wizard, you could bring your opponent onto an equal playing field.
“Baron Iso!”
Justin was filled with anger and tried to throw his handkerchief at Baron Iso’s face. This is to request a duel.
But then-
-Amelia Windsor, the second child of the Windsor family, and Lady Hercy Minerva, successor to the Minerva family, enter.
The host’s words focused attention on the entrance to the banquet hall.
Two women came in soon after.
Amelia was wearing armor as if to show off that she was a knight, and Hercy had a different atmosphere than when she was seen at the academy.
The white dress suited her very well. Hersi entered the banquet hall escorted by Amelia.
It was a sight that anyone could watch with fascination.
In particular, Justin lost his attention to Hercy. For a while.
“A cocky commoner.”
If Baron Iso hadn’t said anything, it would have been like this for hours. Justin turned his head again. The Baron was looking at himself with a ruddy expression.
“How dare you challenge me to a duel?”
An ordinary noble would feel shame just by being challenged to a duel by a commoner.

“Why are you scared?”
Justin provoked the nobleman.
Iso flinched for a moment.
Justin’s sinister aura was one that he had never experienced even though he had grown up well.
‘How dare I cower to a commoner?’
But my pride wouldn’t allow it. Iso gritted his molars and called a maid walking around the banquet hall.
“There, you.”
“Yes, I will get better.”
The maid approached me with a bright smile.
“Do you need anything?”
“Go to Baron Tris’ carriage, take my horse…”
Iso was speechless. His pupils shook as if he had been greatly shocked. That was simply because of the maid’s appearance.
With her black hair and silver eyes, she looked very attractive when seen from the front.
So much so that all other thoughts disappear.
“…you. “What’s your name?”
“The girl’s name is Lilith.”
Lilith covered her mouth and smiled. Iso’s blank eyes rested on her chest for a moment.
“She is a very beautiful woman.”
“thank you. “The Baron is also very attractive.”
“Are you sure?”
“yes!”
Iso swallowed dry saliva.
‘Is the imperial family only using these talented people to serve?’
Iso asked cautiously.
“What is your affiliation and status? “Are you the imperial maid?”
“I’m just a student at the academy.”
“Imperial Academy student?”
“yes. Was it the student council this time…? “We recruited part-time workers there!”
‘There’s a kid like this?’
Justin could have sworn he had never seen one before. However, he did not know all of the academy students. Because I don’t know much about my seniors and the members of the swordsmanship club.
‘You got it.’
Meanwhile, Lee So smiled in remorse.
“I am Iso, the head of the Tris Baron family.”
“Wow, are you the head of the family?”
Lilith covered her mouth and looked quite surprised.
Soon a blush appeared on my face.
‘It’s a natural reaction for a commoner woman. Where has the lowly person ever seen the head of the family? I need to hurry and get him before other nobles catch his eye. ‘To a quiet place.’
“Lilith. “Would you like to attend this banquet with me?”
Iso got down on one knee and held out his hand.
“It’s an honor.”
Lilith held out her hand with a shy expression. Iso stood up, holding his hands together.
As Iso walked away at a somewhat hurried pace, with Lilith holding his hand, he had long since no longer thought about Justin.
The situation passed quickly like a wave. Justin made an absurd expression as he had no one to anger.
“Woah, it’s Justin as expected. “I don’t give a damn to nobles.”
A group of commoners praised Justin, but his expression was not good.
“sorry. “I’ll be back for a bit.”
Justin walked to follow Iso.
I was worried that Lilith might do something strange.

“thank you…!”
In front of Hersi, Asha, wearing a maid uniform, repeatedly expressed her gratitude.
“Gwae, I’m fine.”
Hersi was embarrassed and tried to calm Asha down.
“I tell you several times that anyone can work here. “You just need to prove your identity.”
‘If that identification wasn’t for Lady Hercy, it would have been absolutely impossible.’
Asha was very moved. This job, which Asha was assigned to by Hercy’s recommendation, earned a whopping 5 gold even though it was only a few days’ work.
5 gold was enough money to last a year. For poor Asha, it was a rain from a dry sky, or rather a rainy season that fell all year long.
“Hersi has a warm heart.”
Amelia smiled.
“Oh, no.”
‘Did you win the score?’
Hercy shouted ‘Nice!’ in her mind.
“By the way, are they the knights chosen by Amelia?”
Hersy’s eyes focused on the corner of the banquet hall.
About 20 knights were gathered together and whispering.
“yes. That’s right.”
“Why are they over there…”
“Because they are not an officially approved knighthood yet. “His Majesty is expected to knight him today.”
Amelia looked a bit nervous.
‘They haven’t refined themselves yet.’
He was asked by the emperor to create an order of knights. That was the greatest honor as a knight. Amelia didn’t want to make the slightest mistake, but what was still an issue was ‘etiquette’. Because there was no time to spare, there was no choice but to hire a large number of former Teutonic Knights, but the Teutonic Knights who were selected solely based on their skills were all arbitrary.
Amelia sighed.
“Still, I’ve asked you to please me several times, so I hope you’ll understand at least a little bit. Well then, shall we enjoy our meal?”
“Ah, yes. … yes?”
Hercy was embarrassed. Because…
“I don’t have enough cooking. Please prepare a little more.”
This is because dozens of plates were already placed in front of Amelia!
‘Gee, you really eat a lot. ‘Is it because he’s a knight?’
Still, Hercy, who was still alone, peeled the fish well and presented it to the fox.
“Miho, eat.”
After speaking softly, Miho quickly went down and ate the fish.
“hmm. “It’s Ruid’s familiar.”
Amelia said as she swallowed a steak larger than her face in one bite.
“…yes. “Although he is almost by my side.”
Hersi, who was chatting, saw the Imperial Knights moving around busily.
Hercy whispered to Amelia.
“I guess His Majesty will be entering soon.”
Amelia, who had been mumbling with her cheeks full of food, swallowed it in an instant and quickly wiped her mouth with a handkerchief.
“Thank you. Hersy.”
I whispered to Hersi and sat down in a neat posture.
-The ruler of this world and the master of our race, His Majesty the Emperor of all Creations, appears! All salute!
The sound of the magic loudspeaker echoed throughout the banquet hall. All the nobles who were chatting stopped moving and stood up. I got down on one knee and bowed my head. Amelia moved right in front of the throne at the highest point of the banquet hall and knelt down on one knee.
I could hear the orchestra playing. By the end of this song, which is about 10 to 15 minutes long, you will be able to see the emperor sitting on the throne without anyone knowing. But that was then.
Squeak –
The banquet hall door opened. Moreover, it even made a bustling sound.
“Hehe, ugh. Everything, everything.”
It was a sound of heavy breathing. The nobles in the banquet hall frowned.
‘Who is it?’
‘Foolish bastard.’
But I couldn’t look back. If you make a rash move when the emperor appears, you could be executed. The Royal Guard will take care of punishing that arrogant person who doesn’t know who he is.
But Hercy had this question.
‘How can I get in?’
When the emperor appears, the royal guard is supposed to guard the door.
It was impossible to come in.
As long as you don’t kill the Royal Guard.
“Mi, are you Miho?”
Miho, who had been holding her to prevent an accident, climbed onto Hersi’s head.
Just as I was hurriedly trying to retrieve it, Miho spoke in a voice full of hostility.
[That man smells of black magic.]
“What?”
Hercy was embarrassed. Amelia stood up without hesitation, pulled out her sword, and shouted.
“Redeem him!”
“For that person.”
It was the moment when the knights were running.
Baron Iso’s body was stained with black smoke.
