As Forto grew taller, he began receiving many declarations of love at school in the form of letters and handkerchiefs. The social gatherings for children of their faction were always teeming with girls, and his family began receiving inquiries about having him marry into their family under fairly favorable terms.

Forto’s mother and grandmother were thrilled, but the same could not be said for his father and grandfather. For a knight, it was important to refine not only one’s exterior but one’s interior as well. They insisted that Forto could not marry into a family that did not understand that. As for Forto himself, he felt that it was too early for him to become engaged anyway, so he abided by their instructions.

However, Forto’s father and grandfather also wanted to tone down his appearance, even if only a little.

They ordered him to cut his long, blond hair short so it did not flutter in the wind.

They claimed his vibrant blue tie was vulgar and made him change it to a dark navy.

They forbade him from wearing the glass cufflinks he’d bought with his own pocket money, saying they looked cheap, and gave him round cufflinks with the family crest to wear instead.

They threw away his sketchbook, in which he drew clothes and gowns, claiming that they were just a child’s scribbles.

Mending one’s uniform was one of the duties of a knight, but when he was sewing up some fabric as one of his school assignments, he was scolded and told, “You don’t need to make it so neat! Your training comes first!”

Forto’s mother and grandmother told them to stop, but he couldn’t bear to see the couples quarrel. He convinced his mother and grandmother that it was all so he could become a knight, and he obeyed his grandfather and father as much as he could.

The only time they praised him was when he bested his older brother or one of the guards with a sword. Next to his brother, he had never once been praised otherwise, even when he wore a brand-new suit.

His father and grandfather told him that since he was going to be a knight, he was not to become the kind of man who cared about his appearance more than his substance. It was clear that the two of them disliked Tiziano, or rather, any man who dressed himself up like he did. Nevertheless, Tiziano’s family, the Ariostos, were an earldom, while the Luinis were a viscountcy. And therefore, they could not forbid Forto and Tiziano from meeting.

Forto didn’t share his father and grandfather’s opinions with Tiziano, but the man seemed to understand anyway. One day, he told Forto to come to his residence to try out a test piece, and there he had for him a suit in his exact size. Forto passed his arms through the sleeves, then sat and watched as Tiziano drew a design in his sketchbook.

Eventually, Tiziano became the guildmaster of the Tailors’ Guild. Forto saved up his pocket money and purchased an obsidian tie pin shaped like a swallow to give to him as a gift.
