It's a not-so-fancy party. It is only held in the garden of the Sanktessy mansion. Even so, the party was very well prepared by sanktessy's butler, Bastian.
Party in garden party style. A concept for knights who love freedom, and to glue relationships together. Every knight who performs a task with the same master must have a clear bond, in order to complete the task well.
I appeared after the knights had arrived, holding Renia's hand, I looked at them.
Renia used the yellow dress I chose, the yellow dress I gave was perfect for her.
"She's exactly like the golden lily."
Tanka said so when she first saw Renia wearing this yellow dress. Her hair was tied up in twin tails, matching her age. Makes a very strong sweet impression.
By the time we got to the park, all the knights were already there. Levian, and Verion stood side by side, Verion wore dark clothes, while Levian was the opposite of Verion.
My father, meanwhile, looked astonished at Renia. She realized that the dress Renia was wearing was a new dress. Then he turned his eyes to me with a smile.
I take it as a thank you for giving a nice dress to Renia. The only daughter of puppet Baron Sanktessy.
On the podium, my father coughed once. That not-so-strong cough became the center of attention of everyone who was there.
My father, as the head of the family, thanked everyone who was here. In difficult times and beyond, the people who are here are valuable people.
"Akio." He called me, telling me to stand next to him.
I was beside him now, and then his hand touched my shoulder.
"You must know who this is?"
He looked straight at everything.
"This is the young Baron, my potential successor. Akion Naal Sanktessy, a leader of yours, a great child."
My father coughed once more, as I glanced at him, he looked sheepish.
"Recently, my son has settled our debt in Invit. That's something extraordinary."
Everyone was cheering, they knew how difficult sanktessy was. Hearing them release a huge burden, they breathed with relief.
Life in the future will be easier.
"He's going to be a great leader. Which makes Sanktessy successful again!"
My father clapped. The sense of pride that overflowed from his heart, so felt that I myself felt moved by it.
After the applause subsided, my father allowed me to speak.
"Greetings of light even in the darkness. You know me as the youngest swordmaster in history, but, I'll tell you the truth, every step of the way there's always a flaw, and I keep learning that." I saw the only face I could notice.
"There are many young and new knights here. But I have always believed in you, even in anxiety, that you can make choices and develop better.
"Thank you to those of you who have sworn allegiance to the Sanktessy family. Your trust and sacrifice will not be betrayed. I will make this family not be underestimated anymore!"
"So, raise your chest and feel proud to be the Knight of Sanktessy!"
I shouted excitedly.
A burning spirit flowed into them. This passionate burned every desire not to be stepped on again.
Then it was time for us to eat together. A chef was busy roasting beef quickly, as the Knights ate with a large meal and portions. I can't even compare them to the monsters I've seen, because they both eat well.
The ministry went here to provide the requests of the knights. Alcohol is removed, they gulp quickly, then fill it up full again, always repeating the same. The large glasses they used seemed to be in their hands.
Me, Renia, my dad, levian, Verion, and Tanka were at one table. We enjoyed alcohol quietly. The commotion made by the Knights I let go, for this was their free day, before I tortured them again.
Renia yawned, then she rubbed her eyes gently. The clock for his sleep has come. This little body needs to grow.
I called Nami by hand, but my father stopped her.
"Let this old man take her."
I realized that my father was acting that way, so that I could do something freely. Behind that too, he's afraid I'm not too close to the knights.
I waved to Renia. My father rubbed his head gently. Two soldiers and Nami follow the two of them to enter the Mansion.
I put my alcohol back. A waiter puts the grilled meat along with spiced baked potatoes. I thanked him.
Verion threw away his face when I accidentally saw him, his face flushed red. Looking at his reaction, I felt like I had made a mistake.
Verion was drunk. His eyes weren't focused, he even babbled in language I didn't understand.
Yes, I'm not too worried about that sweet-faced boy. Levian will take care of him.
However, three large glasses of alcohol appeared before me suddenly, making me look at myself in confusion. The three knights put it down, and they saluted me. It seems that drunkenness has made these three young knights dare to challenge me.
"Come on, finish Mr. Akion!" exclaimed a bald-headed knight.
I don't know what burdens make his head bald like that. At such a young age, I feel sorry he has lost one of the most important parts to support his appearance.
The black-haired knight brought the drink he was carrying, "Drink lord Akion. Are you afraid of getting drunk?"
Doesn't that suck?
They thought I was afraid of getting drunk with just three big glasses of alcohol. I shook my head slowly. It's a children's game. Without realizing it, I was a little grinning because of them.
The third knight didn't say anything to me, he just stared straight ahead.
"Mr. Akion, please drink their gift. They sacrificed their lives to deliver the alcohol."
It was Bastian. A wise old man who took good care of me. His words weren't wrong, they knew I was creepy, and they dared to challenge me.
How do they react when they are conscious of what they are doing?
"Okay. It's a small thing." I smiled paltry.
My mouth quickly gulped down all the drinks they gave me. The knights cheered happily to see me drinking. Aren't they too much for this?
But I think they're getting closer to me. Yes, I know Akion changed a lot, because this isn't Akion, but me. Frankly, I can't tell anyone this.
My head is throbbing.
"Hah... ha...."
My little laugh sucks. I really lost, I didn't know that it was this heavy on the influence of alcohol. Is this body also still the body of a teenager who can't stand alcohol?
I dropped myself on the table. My last memory was Levian's face wanting to catch me rashly to the point of dropping Verion beside him.
