A little early in the evening, Renee, who entered the Imperial Castle, sat down on a chair in the waiting room and remembered the order of the coming-of-age ceremony to be held immediately.
There wasn’t much to do.
All you have to do is come out briefly at the end after a long ceremony, put your hands on Albrecht’s head, and say a few words.
I could have said if I was preparing so grandly for that one thing, but… , in a way, this was also correct.
The person who should shine today is not Albrecht. It is his role to bless Albrecht to the end.
As Renee was contemplating a thought, she suddenly felt that thought pass by.
‘The prince will like you very much.’
I thought that Albrecht would be in a very good mood today.
I am a person who likes to receive attention and enjoys standing in front of others.
My head was shaken wildly.
‘I should have listened to some iron.’
He was the same age as him, and he was born half a year earlier by birthday, but every time he thinks about it, the worries he would have for any child come to mind.
Just like that, the moment when you feel your head pounding and sigh deeply.
“Lord, is there any uncomfortable place?”
Vera, who was sitting in the waiting room together, opened his mouth.
Renee replied with a smile, trembling and smiling at those words.
“No, I was just sitting there.”
The smile that appeared on his face had an awkward aura. Naturally, it was because of the thought of the next prom.
Even today, after hearing Annie’s Japanese speech, I’m already full of tension.
‘Ha, you can!’
You can really do anything today! Last time it was arms crossed, so this time a little more than that! Pretend to fall! In my arms… !
The dry saliva passed. As he recalled his promise, his face was gradually turning red.
In the meantime, Vera, who understood the sign differently, made his expression clouded as he recalled the words he had heard from Aisha a few days ago.
– Mugwort… vein?
– No idea!
It feels like the gossip stabs in my chest I don’t know where I picked up those words that others had called provocations.
Did you really hear those words from Renee? Vera, who had glanced at Renee for no reason at the rising suspicion, quickly closed his eyes and brushed away the thoughts that had arisen.
‘It doesn’t sound like a word.’
Where would Renee be the kind of person who would gossip like that from behind? Vera pushed himself through his absurd doubts.
Silence rises as both of them shut their mouths at the same time. Renee was the first to open her mouth.
“Well, you said you were going to the academy when the schedule was over, right?”
A word that confirms what you heard the day before. Vera responded to what I said with the intention of creating something to talk about because the quiet atmosphere was so awkward.
“Yes, I think we will be leaving in about a week.”
“It’s been a long time since I’ve seen Theresa-sama.”
“It’s been three years. I don’t know if you’re doing well.”

Ordinary conversations took place.
However, the atmosphere is still awkward.
At the same time in the two of them, ‘I wish someone would break this atmosphere.’ the moment a thought came to mind.
smart-.
A knock sounded just in time.
– Saint, it’s time to enter.
“Ah yes!”
Renee brightened her complexion and stood up.
“Shall we go?”
“I’ll see you.”
Vera took Renee’s hand. took a step slowly

gorgeous hall. A large number of people were sitting and looking at one place in the large yellowish space.
A handsome boy with brilliant blonde hair at the end of the long red carpet.
It can be said that it is like an angel who came down from heaven. You could say that you will fall in love the moment you see it. He was such a beautiful boy.
However, if that had been the case, so many people in this place would not have been quietly concentrating on him.
Isn’t it? Among those who are here now, they were not leisurely enough to take time off to see only one beauty.
The only reason they got together was to celebrate the boy on stage and the superman who was given the best sword in the Empire became an adult.
… I did.
“Are you okay, Prince? Lately… .”
“I heard you were hit in the middle of the road… .”
“It’s too big in the world. How did she think of kicking the prince?”
“My prince, what should I do because I’m so sorry… .”
The attention of the attendees was already far from it.
Albrecht felt his heart pound and his whole body tremble at the words he heard.
‘stop… .’
Stop, please… .
It’s not like that, so please stop bothering me. I’m begging you please… .
It was tears of blood. It was as if I had become a beast in an iron cage that had been reduced to a spectacle.
What kind of rumors are so fast in this damn aristocratic society, and why do they like to talk so much?
If I couldn’t hear it, I could pretend I didn’t know, but why was my hearing so good?
I seem to lose strength in my legs. I didn’t know if my body would stumble like this.
Albrecht struggled to grab hold of the dazed spirit, closing his eyes tightly and pushing himself.
‘No, you can get over it. Albrecht!’
Have you not overcome even more adversity than this? Rumor has it that she is a blue-eyed person! Rumors of being a pedophile! Rumor has it that he has a hobby of hanging a leash around his neck and living as a pet dog for noble wives! Haven’t you overcome it all?
Call-!
Power entered Albrecht’s eyes. The slightly disorganized posture stood upright again.
This can’t take me down!
While I was thinking about that.
“It seems that there are people who do not like the prince’s face. Be excited.”
This time, a huge blow like a siege pendulum struck Albrecht.
damn-.
Albrecht’s body stiffened. Cracked over his face. The light went out in the pupil.
Words that can’t be thrown away, even if everything else is left out.
‘My, am I not beautiful?’
How can you look at Albrecht’s face and say that he isn’t beautiful? How the hell is that possible?
It felt like my brain was confused. It felt like all common sense I had known had collapsed.
Albrecht, whose recognition collapsed due to such a huge shock.
‘dream? yes this is a dream Now I am dreaming of being publicly executed in front of everyone!’
In the end, it came to the point of denying reality.
a bit far away. Count Weishur, who was sitting with Marie, felt his body tremble at the devastation.
‘Prince! please!’
body pain! please!
He vomited a cry of earnestness within him.
It seems that the guests haven’t noticed Albrecht’s sign yet, but if it goes on like this, a really big accident might happen.
‘When does the cooling end!’
I was feeling impatient at the thought that the situation had to be ended quickly.
Fortunately, the words that would divert people’s attention to whether it was the Lord’s help rang out.
The host, Baron Feldon, exclaimed.
“Next, there will be a blessing ceremony for the Crown Prince!”
The rumbling stopped. At that one word, all the voices in the space were silenced.
blessing ceremony. A woman who will come in with him. The whole space was engulfed in silence when he said that he would see her.

Over the silent space, the music of the bands overlapped.
A soft and majestic melody. Above the sound, the sound of a tightly closed door opened.
Except for Albrecht, all the figures in the hall turned their heads in the direction of the door.
Entering through the open door was a sturdy paladin and a woman with her whole body wrapped in a white robe.
*
Renee struggled to hold back a sigh.
There was no other reason.
This is because it was possible to roughly estimate the situation inside even while waiting at the door.
It was a sigh that came from his very bright ears as much as he could not see, and his thinking ability to understand the progress of things even with the sound of words he heard.
‘I’m so sorry… .’
Most of the buzzing words from the guests were related to work in an outdoor hall not long ago.
It is a rumor derived from the words he shot at Albrecht because he was in a bad mood that day.
just-.
While walking slowly with a cane on the ground, Renee pursed her lips for nothing as her conscience was pricked.
Meanwhile, Vera whispered softly.
“Five steps ahead.”
Renee took only five steps, as Vera said. After moving carefully, he stopped.
“I will perform a blessing ceremony!”
The voice of Baron Feldon, who was conducting the auction house not long ago. Renee nodded, turned to where he felt Albrecht’s popularity, and released Vera’s hand.
And he sang Albrecht in a voice so low that the other guests could not hear it.
“Prince. Stop it and calm down.”
“ah… .”
Albrecht’s head was raised. The focus returned to the empty eyes.
“I see you, Lady.”
Words spoken by kneeling down and bowing your head.
Rene felt her conscience stabbed again by the trembling in her voice, and then she remembered to be grateful that she was wearing the veil now.
It was due to the thought that if it had not been for the veil, the embarrassed expression would not have been revealed to the nobles.
‘Well… , I’m really sorry.’
Still, should I say it’s a pity that it’s an adult ceremony and it’s hardened like this?
Rene recalled his deep sympathy for Albrecht’s run-and-run situation, and reached forward and placed his hand on Albrecht’s head.
‘… Yeah, since it’s a coming-of-age ceremony, I’ll let it float for today.’
Suddenly, every time he saw Albrecht, he remembered that he had only said harsh words, and he thought, ‘Let’s match Albrecht to Albrecht for just one day’ and awakened his pure white divinity.
“Oh oh… .”
An exclamation was heard from somewhere in the audience. It was to look at the same color of the divine that had risen in the sky on the day of the terror and exclaimed in admiration.
Renee felt Albrecht’s body tremble at the sound and tried to wrinkle his expression, but then gave up and moved his lips.
“I bless you in the name of the Lord.”
The pure white divinity floating around Renee’s body permeated Albrecht as if contagious.
added brilliance.
“The second prince of the Empire, the lord of the noblest blood, may the future of the sword that protects the center of the continent be filled with brilliant light, and may fate lead him on the holy path.”
It was a word that took the rhetoric and attached it to whatever came to mind.
“May we not fall down in the face of adversity, may we be a strong wall in the face of the weak, may we reign with fear in the presence of the wicked.”
What else was there… .
Renee came up with the words to say in his head, and then immediately said, ‘It’s just enough.’ As he came up with the idea, he exploded the divine.
“I bless you with this power.”
It wasn’t just a blessing. He wielded real power.
If you have to measure it, it’s about the size of your thumb.
However, to the audience who were not aware of such circumstances, perhaps these remarks sounded quite unconventional, and breath-taking wonder began to flow from them.
“Oh oh… !”
There were people who stretched out their hands in front of me without realizing it.
He wants to hold even the slightest bit of a piece of fate that promises a brilliant future, the limb of the greatest power, and moves to do it with such longing.
Vera stopped the movement by spreading death away from Renee and Albrecht.
Meanwhile, Renee’s last words continued.
“In the name of the Lord, in the name of the agent who exercises that power, I bless the future of the Second Prince of the Empire, Albrecht van Frich.”
Wow-!
The pure white divinity spread throughout the hall. flocculated again. A lump of divinity that had been transformed into a sphere from Rene’s fingertips floated slowly and penetrated into Albrecht’s forehead.
Albrecht trembled at the warmth that spread throughout his body.
A gloomy face began to fill up in the face.
‘Until this… .’
It was by inspiration.
Isn’t that how they use their powers to give blessings? Isn’t that what everyone on the continent has hoped for?
There was such a thing.
The kindness of a person who does good nine times and does not do well once is more impressive than the kindness of a person who does not do well nine times and does well once.
What’s more, wasn’t Albrecht being beaten by the audience with all kinds of words until just before?
At this moment, Albrecht felt an indescribable deep emotion and bowed his head deeply.
“… Thank you for the blessing.”
What came out was the end of the coming-of-age ceremony.
All the guests stood up from their seats. It was an act that was not in accordance with the ceremony, but no one cared about him now.
For the audience who did not know Albrecht or René’s inner feelings, this scene looked like a picture that could only be found in the tales of heroes.
Applause and thunderous shouts erupted.
“Wow!”
Albrecht, who was looking around his son-in-law, felt his spine tingling at the unfolding scene and waved his hand with a bright face.
Naturally, Vera’s face when he saw it was frowned with arrogance.
