96 – Might Be a Tricky Prom
Hyunjin suddenly thought.
I didn’t know that I would directly say something unfamiliar like courage that only appears in comics, games, or anime.
‘…… I don’t know.’
Anyway, the story has already begun.
Amelia was standing in front of her podium, looking at Hyunjin.
There, Hyunjin felt many emotions.
Anxiety. Sorry. Loneliness. Feeling depressed. Even so, the feelings I felt were things like gratitude, joy, and happiness.
Amelia’s eyes trembled.
Hyunjin slowly met Amelia’s eyes.
“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to shoulder this burden on you.”
Amelia said so only Hyunjin could hear. Hyunjin replied while maintaining a moderately serious expression.
“If I, a servant, do not lift the load, who will carry it?”
Hyunjin answers in a calm tone.
Amelia laughed lightly.
“That is still…… That sounds like Hyunjin.”
They met each other’s eyes. William ordered the oath of a knight to begin, and Hyunjin lowered his stance to stand in front of Amelia.
Amelia drew her longsword from her house and lightly placed the back of her sword on Hyunjin’s shoulders, tapping her head lightly and asked,
“I am the one who pledges, Hyunjin…… Do you swear allegiance to Amelia Iori Lionheart? Would you like to pay your respects?”
“I swear.”
Amelia handed her longsword to Hyunjin, and Hyunjin put the longsword back into her house, ending her knighthood.
After a while, when the appointment was over, William shouted.
“With this, a new wind for the proud Lionheart family, the Knight’s Oath has been born!”
Once again, people in the hall clapped for Amelia and Hyunjin.
“Keep your head up and walk, Hyunjin. You are my knight from now on…… There is no need to bow your head anywhere other than the Lionheart family.”
“Okay, lady.”
“Then…… Can you escort me, driver?”
“As much as you like.”
Amelia held out her hand to Hyunjin.
Hyunjin also held Amelia’s hand gently.
“Then, let’s start the banquet now!”
Starting from William’s words, the people gathered in the banquet hall began to move to their seats to enjoy the party.
Amelia and Hyunjin went to William’s side, and he laughed heartily.
“You did well, daughter.”
“Yes, Father.”
“Will you call me Papa?”
William gave Amelia a brief laugh.
“…… Because I don’t!”
“I’m sorry, but I can’t help it. Alright then let’s enjoy the party. Hyunjin?”
“Yes?”
“Is there anything you would like to have?”
At William’s sudden words, Hyunjin asked with a puzzled expression.
“I’m not sure what you are talking about.”
“If I can help you, I’ll get you anything. Whether it be the land owned by Lionheart, or the sword forged by a master. Since you are now a knight of the Lionheart family, shouldn’t that be enough?”
“I see. Hmm…… “
Hyeonjin pondered for a moment at William’s explanation.
‘A situation where I can definitely receive something.’
This is a good thing.
Thinking that way, Hyunjin had some happy thoughts, but it was difficult to give an answer right away.
Land can be purchased if you have money. So you don’t really need to ask for this.
‘It’s a sword forged by a master.’
Hyunjin pondered for a moment. Those who are called great swords in the creations are really good guys.
But if I received the sword right away, would there be a place to use it?
As expected, it might be better to put it on hold.
Hyunjin nodded her head and answered William.
“Thank you for the suggestion, but it seems difficult to decide right away. Or, can I put the decision on hold for a bit?”
William calmly replied to Hyunjin’s words.
“If there is anything you want, please contact me. Now, enjoy.”
William said that and he started walking around the banquet hall accompanied by Tommy, who did not know when he had arrived, and an unknown maid.
“Hyunjin.”
Amelia, who was next to her, cautiously opened her mouth.
“Tell me, young lady.”
“This is a bit presumptuous. Ooh, we too…… Yobiste, shall we?”
Amelia went on, her voice shaking.
‘Yobiste? Suddenly?’
Hyunjin was taken aback by Amelia’s proposal for a while, and Amelia added her words as if she was telling Hyunjin not to misunderstand.
“Ha, I mean at school! How long can you not call me Kim, Kim?!”
“That is true, too.”
There hasn’t been a big problem with the title yet, but it will come someday.
Hyeonjin thought so, and thought that if they unified them into Yobiste even now, there would be no major problems at the mansion or at school.
“And…… More than anything, it was a little like that when other people played Yobiste first…….”
Amelia muttered, slurring her words.
“Surely so. I’ll keep you in mind, lady.”
“So, yes. Do Yobiste so that you can get used to it in the mansion too. In these vacancies, we call them properly, but at school and in Japanese mansions, we allow them to be called by their first names!”
“Okay.”
First of all, he readily suggested it, so Hyunjin felt comfortable.
Amelia was the lady she served, so she was willing to propose Yobi Ste. There were times when it was difficult.
“Well then, Hyunjin. Can you escort me?”
“Yes.”
“Rachel…… Don’t show your face and come out when I need you.”
“Okay, lady.”
Rachel, who was next to her, bowed lightly and formally, then she disappeared at an invisible speed.
When Hyunjin saw that, he thought he was a ninja for a moment and was mistaken.
When I looked up at the second floor, I saw that Rachel was watching over Hyunjin and Amelia.
“Okay, let’s go.”
Amelia moved her body once more with a slow, graceful gait.
“Good night, Samuel. Daniel too. It’s been a while. How are you today?”
Amelia went around greeting people her age in the banquet hall.
“It’s been a while. Amelia. Is that next to you, Knight-sama?”
“Yes. Coincidentally, he was my butler.”
“Oh…… That’s right, somehow. He is a person with a powerful charm.”
A man called Samuel muttered ironically.
“For an Asian, he is definitely handsome. If I had been a woman, she might have fallen in love.”
The guy called Daniel chuckled.
“Let’s do that.”
“Well, yes. So…… Amelia, is that the guy at the ball at Lionheart?”
Samuel, who was next to him, asked Amelia.
“Right. Samuel and Daniel, what about the servants you brought?”
“Ah, they are already waiting outside. I brought a girl from the Middle East. They say they are a very strong fighting race.”
“Did I say Asians? Same goes for this one. Not too long ago, I was able to experience the mysterious oriental martial arts, so I hired him right away.”
Samuel and Daniel answered Amelia’s question.
Amelia asked Hyunjin quietly.
“…… That’s right. Are you confident, Hyunjin?”
“You never know until you try.”
“That’s right, after all. I think I asked something.”
“The concept itself of a prom is new to me.”
“But Hyunjin was so strong when we first met, right?”
Amelia asked Hyunjin. I’m guessing you’re talking about defeating the bully the other day.
But that and this are different.
‘I don’t know if it’s a third-rate bully, but at events like this, strong people always come out.’
Hyunjin didn’t even think of an easy victory. It was because he knew very well that the enemies appearing in these events were set to be strong.
‘If it goes according to the cliche development, it will be an event where you will receive the support of the young lady, wake up and win.’
On the one hand, the fortunate thing is that I have accumulated enough experience by sparring with Ed so far.
“Then look forward to the prom, Amelia.”
“See you later.”
Saying that, Samuel and Daniel grew farther apart.
‘As expected, I don’t know.’
Is Shingo Kurosawa able to overcome such a battle and come back?
Thinking of that, he even looked proud.
It means that you struggled in an invisible place.
“Shall we have some fun too?”
“If the lady wants it.”
As Amelia ate some of the food in the banquet hall, she appropriately checked the number of people coming to the ball this time.
The outstanding sociability and communication skills are definitely amazing.
Eventually, after walking around the banquet hall, Amelia opened her mouth.
“The number of people who want to participate in this ball is roughly 200 people…… “
Although it was a short time, Amelia, who reliably pulled out only the information she wanted, nodded her head lightly and muttered.
“200 People. Is it a tournament ceremony?”
“Chojeon is a format where 50 people each fight until there are 25 left to weed out.”
Is that the way it is? At Amelia’s words, Hyunjin nodded her head.
‘About 10 people are on my mind…… ‘
The rest are small puppets that you don’t have to deal with on your own line.
Let’s take a look at how well the love comedy writer’s battle water brain is refined.
While thinking that, Hyunjin lightly warmed up.
