(Lelouch has not met Cynthia since that day and 3 months have passed )
3rd person pov
"Master .. Master Lelouch " the maid called .
Lelouch squirmed in his bed and rubbed his eyes while watching a ray of sunlight entering his room .
Master today is your debut party and Master Keith has summoned you for breakfast at the dining table ." Lelouch nods .
At the dining table :
Lelouch sat on the chair at the dining table and saw his meal .
The table had a plethora of dishes lined for consumption . Although they were high ranking nobles this kind of meal was not what they ate everyday . The table had salads , milkshakes , and many appetisers on it the aroma of Grilled fish and miso soup was strong . He stared at the table for a long time .
Keith saw this and faked a cough . "Ahem .. Lelouch , do you like it ? Today is a special day so it is only fair to have this right ?"
His mother Lily looked affectionately towards him and said ,"You should enjoy yourself Lelouch"
Lelouch gave a gentle smile to his parents and nodded .
Keith and Lily smiled in return and then they talked about the arrangement of the party .
'The magical affinity of a noble is tested in the debut itself . It is tested by placing hand upon an a magical orb which changes colour according to to the attribute that the person possesed .'
This was the sole reason why Lelouch was excited.
Although he was a noble he wanted to become a warrior even though hadn't told his father about this dream.
'The engagement of Lelouch and Cynthia would also be announced at debut . Until then it was forbidden both the parties to meet each other . '
When Lelouch's father told him that he just gave a nod and never mentioned here name again .

Lelouch's pov:
Today I will get my magical affinity . I am excited.
But at the same time I am also mad at father to decide my engagement without consulting with me . I didn't refuse it as I did not want to embarass him . Now I would have to deal with that girl . Honestly, she is too bright and she gives off a weird feeling .
Timeskip :
So now I am all ready for debut party and I am currently at the backstage and am waiting for the announcement .
"Please kindly welcome , our star of this party , The heir of Leviossa household , Lelouch Leviossa "
By hearing the announcement I started walking towards stage . I could hear gasps and see blushing faces of many young noble ladies .
Huhh???
Wait I am beautiful ? Wtf..
Nobody had that kind of reaction to it in my house atleast. Or maybe they had . I was too dense to notice. But honestly that nuisance girl didn't have that reaction . Anyways
Lily : (thinks) My son is so dense ( sighs .. )
Greetings , to the respected guests . I , Lelouch Leviossa heir of Leviossa household welcomes you to this party . It is an honour to meet all of you gathered in this place . I hope that we can build strong connections and good relationship in the upcoming future . Please enjoy the party " .
I bowed elegantly and retreated .
After that I sat beside my father .
"You sure made a show there didn't you ?"
"Yes father , I prepared really good for this event"
"Then my boy are you ready for the affinity test"
(Nobles are supposed to greet the guests first and then after testing the magical affinity they shall join the party)
"Yes"
3rd person pov
Lelouch and Keith went through a room which was behind the stages of the party . Lelouch entered the room and saw an old man who had a dignified beard with pure white traditional clothes .
The man said ,
"So this is the young master eh ?"
"Yes priest sama this is my son and he would like to have his magical affinity tested , he is quite an earnest kid tbh"
Lelouch watched them intently.
"Well , let me give you a brief description of magic first.
Magic is a gift to all the living beings by God . Magic is a energy and you are the medium . Magic is executed using mana . Mana is the raw material to produce energy which is "magic". It is inside every living being . But only selective few are able to convert it to magic . The orb will detect your ability of mana conversion ."
"So please take a look at this orb first"
The priest suddenly clapped 3 times and a servant appeared with a trolley with a cloth om top of it .
The priest removed the red velvet cloth and uncovered the orb beneath it . At a quick glance it would appear as if it was a normal glass sphere but when looked closely you could observe a misty fog at the centre of the orb.
"Now young master, please place your hand on this orb"
Priest pov :
I am Priest Axelion Santor . I am from a foreign kingdom , Eclair and I was an aspiring priest since my young days . I intended to reach god and be his most loyal devotee . Until I learned about religion of this kingdom . It changed my whole perspective on god's amd made me look at them as more humane figures . My life just became dull and borish because of that . I lost my goal and now I am just wandering aimlessly in this unfair world .
Today I was going to test the magical affinity of young master of Leviossa household . But the orb that I had been using past two year wasn't a normal one this was a bit special one . This could detect various affinities within a person even if it was completely dormant and it had a legend attached to it too .
Well cut to the present now the young master is placing his hand on the orb .
He held his breath as he nervously placed his hand upon the orb . The orb shimmered and glowed faintly .
It is quite normal .
