“Here approaches His Grace the Duke of Yulnova, Alexei, and his esteemed sister, Lady Ekaterina,” Rosen declared, his clear voice resounding through the hall.

The knights in attendance struck the ground in unison as they brought one hand to their chests and their heads dropped reverently. Alexei and Ekaterina followed Rosen, then climbed onto the elevated platform in front of the assembly.

“Raise your faces,” Rosen ordered.

The knights complied, their faces lifting as one toward the beautiful pair of siblings. Strong feelings of devotion and admiration welled up in their chest at the sight.

On one side stood Alexei.

He was only ten when his grandfather died. From the day of his grandfather’s passing, Alexei had been master in all but name of the Order of Yulnova. At thirteen, he’d taken command of his first military expedition to subjugate monsters and won the respect of the knights through his impressive mana control, swordsmanship, and levelheaded decision-making. On paper, however, Aleksandr remained Master of the Order until his death, so it was to him that the knights had sworn their oath in the previous year.

Needless to say, the knights did not think much of Aleksandr. How could they approve of a man who participated in such glorious ceremonies as this one, but sent his young son to the battlefield in his stead?

From this day onward, the young man who’d stuck with them through thick and thin out in the field would finally become their master both in substance and in name. The thought moved them deeply.

By Alexei’s side was Ekaterina.

After Sergei died and Aleksandr inherited his title, Alexandra should have stepped down as the Lady of the Order to be replaced by Aleksandr’s wife, Anastasia. However, Alexandra held onto the title, never allowing Anastasia the honor. Instead, she remained confined until her untimely death.

Back then, all the knights knew of Ekaterina was that she too lived in confinement, away from the main house. She’d appeared to them only as a tragic heroine. After interacting with Moldo, they’d learned more about her. According to him, she was just as brilliant as her older brother, yet kind and humble. She was feminine and thoughtful, so much so that she even sent sweets to her private tutor’s daughter out of the goodness of her heart, but also dignified and brave enough to stand up to a monster so her classmates could flee.

Today was their first glimpse of her. In her bewitching attire, the beautiful Ekaterina appeared far older than fifteen. The knights felt as though they were in the presence of a goddess. They would have been hard-pressed to even imagine a woman more worthy of becoming the lady of their order; that was how strong of an impression she made on them.

Had Ekaterina known their thoughts, she surely would have screamed:

“I’m so sorry for being a fraud! Forgive me!”

❀

Excluding the new recruits, four knights would swear an oath to me and offer me their swords: Rosen, the knight commander, his second-in-command, and two commanding officers who had made the trip to the capital just for this ceremony.
