Chapter 60 - Season 1 Chapter 32: "Grand Knight Sudden Appearance!"

[December 1st Week — Day 3 Morning — Town A — Teleportation Hall]

The atmosphere in the Teleportation Hall was thick with tension. Elite Squire Anthony stood firm, determined to prevent the unwelcome guests from proceeding further.

Elite Squire Anthony: "Baroness Amelia, please stop following us."

Knight Amelia: "I'm sorry, I just became interested in what's going on."

Elite Squire Anthony: "In that case, I have no choice but to prevent you and your platoon from going further."

Knight Amelia: [Smirking] "Oh really?"

Elite Squire Anthony: [With resolve] "Yes! So, please stop following us and leave."

Knight Amelia: [Turning slightly to her companion] "You heard that, Charlotte. It seems they won't allow us to pursue further..."

Anthony's heart skipped a beat at the mention of the name.

Elite Squire Anthony: [In shock] "What?!?!" [Looking closely now, his face paling] "Grand Knight & Viscountess Charlotte!"

Grand Knight Charlotte: [With a calm smile] "Elite Squire Anthony, is there a problem if we join you?"

Elite Squire Anthony: "Yes, there will be a problem..."

Grand Knight Charlotte: "Is it Noble Squire Accel's orders not to let anyone join?"

Elite Squire Anthony: [His mind racing, remembering Accel's strict orders] "Yes, Grand Knight Charlotte..."

Yesterday night, Accel sent a message to Elite Squire Anthony, instructing him not to let anyone know about this gathering, especially the people we know and have met. He also warned against being caught by Baroness Amelia and Viscountess Charlotte, as their joining would lead to something significant happening at the Nobles Gathering... End of Flashback...

After the flashback, 25% of the 95th Frostfire Platoon stayed, while the rest headed toward the Teleportation Hall. They were trying to prevent Knight Amelia and Grand Knight Charlotte from continuing further, but they were dealing with a Grand Knight who was over level 500+ as an Apprentice Holy Knight. They began to buy time, but the results were clear.

After a few minutes, 25% of the 95th Frostfire Platoon were defeated or knocked out and had no choice but to allow them to follow. He used the MagiTech features to send a message regarding this unexpected event. Meanwhile, the interrogation from last night continued, and Baron Ishikawa was being interrogated by his friends. Accel immediately received a message from Elite Squire Anthony, which was not good news.

Knighted Accel: "Excuse me for a while, can we temporarily hold the interrogation, because I have big bad news to tell Baron Ishikawa."

Baron Ishikawa: "Yes, that's right. I have been asked and answered already..."

Baron Ishikawa's old friends agreed to stop the interrogation and instead listen to some bad news that would shock them. Before they could react to the bad news, they sat down to rest and have a drink while listening to Accel's news. However, as they started drinking, Accel shared the news that caused them to spill their drinks.

Unbeknownst to Accel, Grand Knight also called Viscountess Charlotte Anne Davies is idealized throughout Mindala. Her participation in the Nobles Gathering would draw attention from lords across the Northern, Southern, Eastern, and Western Parts of Mindala. While the gathering is typically routine, the involvement of a third party like Lady Charlotte could raise suspicions among the other nobles.

The reason why it could raise suspicion is because it's not her noble status, but her military status. Having a Grand Knight military status at her age is very rare and her connections and allies are high-rank due to her parent's influence. Her parents come from a Marquis Noble Household that is between the ranks of a Duke (Half Noble and Half Royalty) and an Earl Rank.

She is one of the young generations who managed to reach Grand Knight at the age of 20 years old and is well-known throughout Mindala her achievement has reached the Royal Capital of the Philippian Empire, because of the great and good deeds she accomplished by eradicating the evil that is lurking behind the dark places of the world.

[Day 3 Afternoon — Rivershire Teleportation Hall — Exit Way]

Knight Accel, Baron Ishikawa, and his other old friends joined him to formally greet the unexpected guests that will arrive at the Teleportation Exit Way together with their army of squires and knights. After a few minutes of waiting, they have arrived... From a distance, the 95th Frostfire Platoon could be seen approaching. Leading the charge was Vice-Leader Anthony, standing tall and exhausted because he kept persuading them not to join, but failed and was utterly defeated...

Behind, Elite Squire Anthony it was the 95th Ironshield Platoon commanded by Knight Amelia she was smiling and greeted Accel with a handshake, Accel supposedly saluted or bowed down to her, but she didn't want it and just gave either a hug or handshake. Beside Knight Amelia's Platoon was Grand Knight Charlotte's 15th SentinelForge Battalion.

She went towards Accel and just smiled as if she was expecting something, Accel had nothing to say and let Baron Ishikawa deal with Viscountess Charlotte as he disappeared along with his 95th Frostfire Platoon to talk about another matter about the Safety and Security for the Nobles Gathering.

Meanwhile, after Accel's disappearance (Running Away), Baron Ishikawa and the other lords escorted Viscountess Charlotte and Baroness Amelia, but as for Baroness Amelia, she followed Accel and asked one of her advisors to join the discussion for this day.

[Rivershire Military Camp — Right Side of the Mansion]

Noble Squire Accel: "I want the 95th Frostfire Platoon to secure the perimeter of Rivershire Hall. No one enters or exits without clearance. Maintain a vigilant watch throughout the gathering—this event must proceed without incident."

Elite Squire Anthony: "Understood, Sir Accel. We'll ensure everything remains secure."

After Accel issued the order, the 95th Frostfire Platoon began preparation for tomorrow's gathering. While that is happening throughout Rivershire City, Knight Amelia hugs Accel behind him and smiles, he is wondering what Knight Amelia's intention is to join this event, but she refuses to answer and waits for tomorrow.

After a few minutes, Lady Sakura saw the scene and Accel was confused that he felt and strong gaze and tense around Lady Sakura and Lady Amelia. He doesn't know what's going on and just comforts both of them as they both stop staring at each other as if it's Accel's fault.

[Evening — Ishikawa's Dining Room]

Baron Ishikawa invited all of us to have dinner and his expression right now was very tiring and exhausted on what did he explain and discuss about the nobles gathering and the other events will happen tomorrow, as for Lady Charlotte she smiled looking at me, that something will go on... a very big something...
