222 – It’s Your Birthday

“Thank you, thank you very much. Kyle! How should I repay this grace….”

This is Nell. She asked me to go with her to the imperial banquet even though she didn’t do anything on her own.

I was so moved by that, from the academy to the moment I entered the carriage.

She was in the middle of saying thanks, banging her head hard.

I tried to dry it several times because I was worried that my forehead would break.

But even that was only for a moment, and I just gave up because I was repeating ‘Thank you!’ Again.

“Do I have to go? I’d rather swing a sword or something.”

Of course, Ian is giving the right answer about training.

I am also worried that if I go and make a mistake, I will be scolded again.

But when Kyle looked at Ian recently, it seemed like an understatement.

Unbeknownst to me, Ian has become more cautious now.

“….”

And, it is Tisha who is sitting right next to Kyle and only dyes her face red.

The princess is already a fixture at the imperial banquet, and Elgar is coming as the representative of the Grand Duchess of Littorio.

It is said that even the saintess participates in the banquet as a guest of the church.

So the only thing left was Tisha. That’s why I said let’s go together.

But to Tisha, Kyle’s suggestion sounded a little different.

‘They just took it for granted that they came to me first.’

What does that mean? Isn’t that what came to my mind first?

Not a princess, not a princess, not a saint. Tisha, it was you!

She thought she could never get the upper hand. I wondered if she should be content with just being her first girlfriend.

She must have thought of herself like that, and Kyle reached out to her!!

‘Oh, I somehow managed to wear the prettiest dress….’

From Tisha’s standards, the dress she was wearing was the most expensive and prettiest.

Nearly half of the money I’ve saved so far has gone into this costume.

If she had been herself in the past, she might have vomited blood asking if she was crazy.

How much money do you spend a month knowingly or unknowingly to purchase magic materials?

That’s what she saved and saved until she entered her academy.

The money isn’t for witchcraft, it’s for buying her dress.

‘That’s not even, not several, just one….’

Fortunately, I had the money Elgar secretly gave me to spend at a time like this.

She said she felt burdened and said she wouldn’t take it, so it’s not free, she said.

She later says that when she’s stumped, she’s for those times or something.

The princess is burdensome and the saint is also burdensome.

As expected, Tisha thought Elgar was the most difficult.

‘I can still figure out the deterioration of the princess, and since the saintess is so kind, it is predictable… Elgar-sama seems to be predictable, but she doesn’t seem to be able to.’

Of course, Elgar was the biggest benefactor now.

If it wasn’t for her, the dress she’s wearing now wouldn’t even be in her dreams.

“Tisha?”

“Yes, yes! Kyle! Did you call?”

“What are you thinking so hard about? She called several times, but she didn’t answer.”

“Eh? Oh, I’m sorry! You must be too nervous.”

It was a rushed excuse, but it was also a plausible reason.

In fact, Kyle was the only one among the party on the carriage who entered the imperial palace.

Ian, Nel, and Tisha. No one ever had to do that.

It’s something that even the nobles don’t dare to dream of.

They say it’s only possible for a noble family or a grand duke.

They, who were not included anywhere else, were to attend the banquet of the imperial family.

“You don’t have to be too nervous. If you say you are my guest, I will treat you well.”

Kyle gently holds Tisha’s hand while saying that.

But Tisha felt more nervous because of that part.

‘If I make a mistake… You’re hearing bad things about Kyle, too.’

It was Tisha who promised herself to be careful and more careful.

Fortunately, she was well versed in etiquette because she had princesses, princesses, and saints around her.

Make no mistake. Not for myself, but for Kyle.

She is the one who came with him and should never be a nuisance.

Dumb-.

The wagon that was running in full swing gradually slows down.

It’s a little noisy outside, probably because it’s reached right in front of the imperial palace.

However, I didn’t do an internal inspection one by one like the others.

The reason is that this carriage was none other than the imperial carriage sent directly by order of the emperor.

Identification was guaranteed by the emperor himself, so it made no sense to start with an inspection.

“… Kyle. Was the imperial palace such an easy place to enter?”

“Sounds that make sense. That’s right, since His Majesty sent this carriage himself.”

“Ah! Come to think of it, I remember that from a while ago, on the road where the carriage was going, everyone stopped and waited until our carriage passed!”

“You saw it right, Nell. The imperial carriage passes by, of course.”

While talking about this and that, the carriage, which had been running slowly, finally came to a complete stop.

Immediately after that, the imperial knight who was sitting in the driver’s seat got down and opened the carriage door.

“We have arrived. I think you can get off.”

At that, Kyle sent Ian and Nell out first.

She

She Then she herself went out, and finally she held Tisha’s hand.

“Ah….”

Tisha, who finally caught sight of the imperial palace, exclaimed involuntarily.

I couldn’t express this moment with fancy modifiers.

No. Just saying it was considered rude.

Perhaps it was the same for Ian and Nell, everyone just kept their mouths open.

‘Why is everyone reacting like this? What is good There’s no exercise equipment inside.’

In the meantime, only Kyle was thinking the Jon Nassen way.

“Oh. Kyle, is that you?”

At this time, a middle-aged man’s voice came from behind.

Kyle turned his head and immediately smiled and bowed his head.

“Your Excellency, Grand Duke Shrelitz.”

On the surface, Grand Duke Shrelitz, who will be the main character of this banquet.

Unlike his appearance on the battlefield, he was quite normal now.

“Ian, you are here too.”

“Your Excellency the Grand Duke.”

Ian bows his head in greeting.

The Archduke Schrelitz is also a strong player who was in the top 10 in the past.

It’s natural for Ian to look like this.

“Hmm. By the way, there are faces of people I see for the first time.”

“Yes, Grand Duke. This is Nell. Next to me is Tisha.”

First, Tisha greets Grand Duke Shrelitz.

It was Nell’s turn next, and it was clear that she was slightly nervous.

Maybe it’s because he met someone he respects, but he also seems worried that his identity will be revealed.

Actually, that was the reason Kyle brought Nell.

It is said that it is right to hide a thing once hidden forever.

But that doesn’t mean she can’t hide like this forever.

It could catch Nell’s ankle later.

‘Even cheated and entered the imperial banquet? If this is known later, it’s usually not troublesome.’

So Kyle intended to use the Emperor and the Archduke of Shrelitz on this occasion.

Since she worked hard to help the two of them in the meantime, it’s okay to ask for this much.

This is Kyle’s plan.

First of all, the emperor naturally asks about Nell’s identity and delivers the truth.

Of course, cheating and entering the academy would be a problem.

There, Nell shows off his skills, and after that, Grand Duke Shrelitz catches the wind.

He has quite good skills, but he said that if he polished them well, he would be a good article.

From there, even the emperor nodded and said, “I should be punished, but my skills are not worth it, so I will do something that never happened. Instead, if you say, “There should never be anything like today again,” It ends roughly.

‘This is the best for Nell.’

Originally, I was planning to wait until she was active.

However, it turned out that Kyle himself wiped out the place where she was supposed to go.

West, south and east. When this happens, she has no place for Nell to step out.

At this rate, it would be impossible to let my name be known even though I had grown several stages at best.

I felt sorry for him, so I was trying to repay him like this.

Of course, I didn’t tell Nell about this.

It’s not that she’s trying to mess with her, her acting skills are too poor.

If you don’t show your true self, it’s difficult even for the emperor.

“Ma, it’s an honor to meet you. This is Nell, Your Excellency the Grand Duke!”

“Nell. Oh, maybe you are the dreaming knight that Kyle and Ian were talking about?”

“Yes?”

“You two mentioned your name a few times when you were in the east. There is an academy student with very good skills, and I would like to introduce him later.”

“Ah… It is just an honor!”

From the position of Archduke Schrelitz, of course, he must have had expectations for Nell.

With Kyle, who is already strong enough to handle 10 strength.

Ian is still lacking a bit, but he is worth aiming for a spot in the top 10 in the near future.

Since the two are mentioned at the same time, how can you not expect it?

“Kyle. Archduke Schrelitz seems to like Nell.”

“I see.”

“Good. He’s the guy who always sang knights and knights songs.”

“That is also true. And that’s great, Ian.”

“Huh? What are you talking about, all of a sudden?”

In response to Ian’s question, Kyle said, “There is such a thing,” And led her party to sleep.

How could it be that they still don’t know that Nell is a woman?

It’s natural to not notice, but even if you don’t have this, isn’t it too low?

Perhaps, the moment she reveals that Nell is a woman, it is Ian who is most surprised.

*

“Your Excellency, Grand Duke Shrelitz, stand!”

“This is Kyle’s position as Baron John Nassen!”

The restraints of the grand dukes and barons. A very strange combination.

But at that shout, no one in the banquet hall raised any questions.

On the contrary, I was just looking at the doorway with great anticipation.
