Chapter 129 – The Brilliant Coming-of-Age Ceremony – 2
Many nobles have arrived, and it is time to start slowly.
He’s a late nobleman. Well, there’s nothing you can do about it.
– Again, again.
Carefully walk through the corridors where the maids and maids are running. As an aristocrat, I can’t help but avoid it.
Ahead of this is the waiting room prepared by Irina Boreng, the main character of the coming-of-age ceremony. We can’t disturb the kids who are working to prepare it.
Moreover, in the original case, until the coming-of-age ceremony was over, men could not approach it. That’s why all the kids walking around with all sorts of luggage are women, and the kids standing guard are female knights. Even now, the kids who should have stopped them saw my face and left me alone.
“More than this is unapproachable… Le, Leoric-sama!”
“Uh.”
No way to stop me here I wondered if someone had stopped it, but it looked like a lady-in-waiting. It also has quite a bit of magic.
Where have you seen many?
Exactly…
“Ah, Irina’s maid.”
“This is Eleanor.”
He said his name and immediately bowed his head.
Isn’t that too authoritative?
“Done. Even if you’re not that polite. What about Irina?”
“We are preparing inside. … Would you like to meet me?”
“Well. Please.”
Hearing my words, he immediately bows down and enters the door.
After waiting for a while, I heard a voice telling me to come in.
“What?”
I thought it would be visible right away, but there is a large folding screen.
“No? A lady at a coming-of-age ceremony should be seen on a real stage.”
“Haha. Is it?”
Irina’s mischievous voice came through the folding screen.
It seemed that he didn’t want to show his appearance while he was decorating.
It is a very busy time. Even now, the lady-in-waiting and her maids continue to move, carrying cosmetics, jewelry boxes, accessories, and clothes.
“Sorry for being busy.”
“No? It’s okay. The concept was all decided anyway, so I was in the process of final confirmation. So what’s going on?”
“Well. No big deal. Because I decided to proceed as I said before. Prepare in advance.”
“Ah yes. That’s it. Do not worry. Because I know it well.”
“Yes.”
It seems like a regular banquet, but there are many meetings that I attend often and organize by myself… I came to see if you were okay, but you seem to be okay.
“Then I’ll go first.”
“Yeah. … Thank you, Leo.”
He scratched his head at the thank you, as if he had noticed my consideration.
It’s a shame.
I decided to close the door and head to the banquet hall.
* * *
Whoa.
Irina took a deep breath.
“Are you okay, lady?”
“Yes. It’s okay.”
Irina smiled at Eleanor’s worried young gaze.
Got really good
Also Leo.
She dared to take time for me, and her heart was pounding at her affectionate appearance.
“Oh my goodness. Now you really have become a lady.”
“What? You mean you weren’t a lady yet?”
“I say it because I ran away from liberal arts class every day and went out to play, saying it was an adventure.”
I glared at Eleanor’s teasing words.
Laughing at Irina like that, Eleanor immediately opened the jewelry box she brought with her.
“I am not ready yet. Now, don’t move.”
“Yes.”
Normally, I wouldn’t dress this tight, but today is different. Coming-of-age ceremony that comes once in a lifetime… And this is the seat Leo-nim prepared for himself.
So you have to be patient.
“You caught your guard, lady! Whoops!”
“Quaaaaagh!”
I screamed at the pain in my lower back.
“Eh, Eleanor… ! Aren’t you tightening it too hard?!”
“I have to do this! You can’t go off the beaten path like before! At least for today! Do you have any idea how many times the Countess told me to keep that in mind?!”
“Oh! Lord, I feel like dying!”
“If you normally did it, you would have endured this much!”
You can boast that you have a perfect body even without a nose or corset… !
I glanced back and saw that there were two of them, each pulling the string!
“Die! Die! You, you! Charlotte right? When did you show up?!”
“It’s been a while, miss! That’s it and one more pull!”
“Kyaaaaa no! I die! Eleanor! Are you really like this?!”
“Miss! Do not strengthen your body with magical powers! Me too?”
“Quaaaaa!”
I think I’m going to vomit!
* * *
“… I think I heard a scream?”
Is it an illusion
No, I think I heard it, but…
Well, I can’t be more interested in what the lady is decorating.
I also hurried back to my room to prepare for the coming-of-age ceremony.
* * *
What I prepared this time is really not a big deal.
In the first place, I don’t really have anything on my mind now.
The banquet hall, which in a sense is more splendid than the castle where the lord resides in Müller. No matter how much Müller it is, a place like this is properly prepared.
Of course.
“Well, it’s all well maintained, so it looks like new, doesn’t it?”
“Honestly, I’m not really interested in things like this, so I don’t know… It has an old-fashioned feel.”
Triana, who is trying to cover up somehow, and Chloe talk back.
“Then what are you doing! These are all things that were popular a generation ago! I need to tear it all down and remodel it!”
“Everyone gather!”
Charlotte and Neria were terrified and tried to tear down the building.
Seeing that, there were interesting things like Triana, who was hurt in her heart, and Chloe, who comforted her.
Anyway, the newly remodeled banquet hall is a newly decorated banquet hall that mixes the concept of sun and light, which symbolizes me, with ornaments that are popular in the capital or the Boring family these days. There I started to receive guests.
There are nobles who have been welcomed before, but there are bound to be nobles who come during the day or on time. Just like Grace did at my coming-of-age ceremony before, this time I took on the role.
“Welcome to Müller.”
“Lord Müller. Indeed… I’ve been to Müller before, but it’s a completely different look.”
“It’s overrated.”
“Now I understand why Lady Boreng wanted to have her coming-of-age ceremony here. It is no exaggeration to say that it is a new attraction in the southern region!”
Haha! Thank you!”
Obviously we introduced each other, but what was the name? He talks moderately with an aristocrat whose memory is ambiguous, gives his face a bit of gilding, and chats.
“I heard rumors, but in reality…”
“Ah, for that matter, I plan to set up a new seat tomorrow.”
“Ah, indeed. I look forward to it, Lord Müller.”
“I would appreciate it if you would just congratulate me on this occasion today.”
Haha. I guess I was overly concerned. Then I will do it.”
“Thank you.”
And that’s not all.
The main story that comes after a moderate search battle.
A story about red blood. New arsenal. Stories that are almost mandatory.
And the story that comes out more than I thought is not something else.
“Come to think of it, Lord Müller. Shouldn’t you also get married soon?”
“Yeah?”
“You know my good wife. I don’t know if you know it, but do you know that it’s a Brettain baron from the east?”
“Ah… Any Bretain baronial family in the East knows about it.”
“Good! The daughter of that family has reached her age just in time, and her fair skin is so beautiful that rumors spread even to the south, Lord Müller.
“Ah, that story…”
“Ugh! Marrying Lord Müller, who will become the new star of the South, to an Easterner. That’s not going to happen. Rather, there is a very pretty young lady among my now grown-up relatives.”
“Well. Thanks for the suggestion…”
Haha.
With a smile, I escaped from the group of men who surrounded me. What kind of honey was applied to me? In the end, I only gave an appropriate answer and immediately left the seat.
Watch them fight among themselves without me.
“No, it was cold.”
In the end, I avoided a seat on the terrace.
First of all, there is still time until Irina appears, so I guess I’ll have to rest here.
“It’s Irina’s coming-of-age ceremony, and we’re talking about marriage here.”
She felt that the drink in her glass had become lukewarm before she knew it, and she drank it straight away as she cooled it with her magical energy.
“That must mean that you are as attractive as an apple coated with honey.”
“…”
I slowly turned around at the sign that appeared behind me.
A sign that I can only feel now. No matter how many other nobles it is, it is difficult to grasp magic power, but it is such perfect control that you can feel it only when you are close to this distance.
And the sign of magical power he felt was something he hadn’t felt before.
“… I heard that she has arrived, but she doesn’t come into the venue.”
“Heh. I don’t want to go to a place where I can shine other people than myself.”
“Is that so? Still, since you came all the way… Welcome to Müller.”
Dark orange? Or is it light brown? There she was, deep in the terrace in the dark, whose color was obscured by the light from her banquet hall.
It looks like it has been roughly trimmed with thick, wavy hair. One of his eyes was covered by her hair, but the other was a woman staring at me with a piercing eye lined with a dark eyeline.
“Whoa…”
She is a woman wearing a suit that can be called men’s attire, holding a long pipe resembling a smoking pipe in her hand.
And the enormous magical power felt in her that she had never felt before.
“Alina Earthlane.”
“Nice to meet you. Lord Müller.”
Through the smoke, she was looking at me with a smile.
