Chapter 3: Battle Rally

Kelvin’s Estate, Kelvin’s room:

Everyone had been acting strange recently. It wasn’t like the sense of silent pressure I was feeling before. It was somehow more restless, like they were hiding something from me. The problem was, this wasn’t just the women, but the men like Gerard and Dahak too, along with Clotho and Alex. It even seemed like Clare, Uld, and the rest of my acquaintances were in on it too.

Hmmm...I don’t think I did anything bad... Recently, I had been enthusiastically attending to the impending wedding. Whenever I talked to them about that, Efil, Sera, and the others would return to normal, but they still seemed strange in situations that were completely unrelated to that.

“Are you hiding something from me, Efil?”

There was a beat before Efil answered. “N...uhh...no. I would never hide anything from you, Master.”

Even when we were all huddled around a table to decide on a venue and the like, that was the only answer I could get from Efil. She usually responded to questions right away, but now she was taking a few seconds to choose her words, and she looked so pained while doing it! I could almost see her reasoning to herself that it needed to be done, such was the aura she was putting out. I was certain that someone had silenced her. It was always easy to see when such a composed and perfect maid was made to do something against their will. Their hearts were basically on display.

Now then, just what could they be hiding? I suppose in times like this, the most common thing would be some sort of surprise or prank. Like a surprise birthday party or some other celebration? Thinking like that, I can see why Efil would agree to stay silent. But it’s not like my birthday is anytime soon, and it’s not like there’s anything else to celebrate...

“Hmm, is that so? Well, I just thought I’d ask, so don’t worry about it. Yeah, I don’t mind at all.”

“I’m so sorry...”

I tried being a little mean, which caused Efil to bow her head apologetically over and over. It seemed she knew she was being obvious, and now she was despondent on top of that. Knowing as much, I couldn’t leave her like that, so I drew close to try and convince her as best I could that I didn’t mind...

“Papa, I’m coming in.”

But just before I could, DarkMel announced her visit. That was close, it’s still the middle of the day.

“Oh, hey, DarkMel, what’s up?”

“I have a delivery for you, papa. Here!”

“A delivery? Looks like a letter...”

I took the proffered envelope from her tiny hands. There was no sender noted, but it was closed with the wax seal of the Celsius house. At any rate, I knew it had come from someone close.

“Ah, you can’t open it yet! Don’t!”

“Huh? Why not?”

“Uh, ummm...it’s an invitation, and you can only open it in the right spot. So you can’t open it right now, papa.”

An invitation, huh? Is this some kind of game that DarkMel made up? I thought, but then I noticed something.
