As an event hosted by the royal family, the Red Rose Ball required the best security personnel to be ready in the unlikely event of an emergency. Preparing for incidents was made even more difficult by the presence of so many guests from the kingdom beyond the court and from foreign lands. In order to protect the atmosphere of the ball, intimidating armed guards were to be kept to a minimum.

The solution to this challenge was to select a number of the best personnel from the order of royal knights and the royal court magicians’ division for them to work undercover among the guests at the Red Rose Ball, prepared to react in an emergency situation.

“Even though more women work with magic nowadays, there still aren’t many among the highest ranks,” Luke explained. “There was talk at the meeting about wanting more female court magicians to participate, so I put in a good word for you.”

“B-But I’m still only porcelain-class...”

“Since I’ll be attending too, it’s not so strange that you should be there, being my apprentice and all. Besides, after breaking through that wall and passing the Sixty Seconds of Blood, you’re known throughout the royal court magicians’ division.”

“F-For real?”

Truthfully, as I walked around the palace, I’d had this funny feeling that eyes were turning my way.

“But I’m just a commoner from the countryside,” I said. “Should I really be at a ball where all the other guests are from a special inner circle of nobles?”

“I can think of a lot of arguments against that. Anyway, I’ve made some plans to make sure you’ll do fine.”

“Like what...?”

“You sure you want to know?” Luke asked with a grin.

Compared with a simple girl like me, you sure are good at having something up your sleeve, Luke.

“Never mind,” I replied. “If you tell me, there’s a chance I’ll end up letting something slip.”

“That’s for the best. There’ll be no going back to your old life once you find out.”

“Um, sure...”

Eek. The secret world of the nobility is scary!

“Anyway, the reason I’m going to such lengths is because I feel that we need you and your ability at this ball,” Luke went on. “You’ve probably heard that there was a failed assassination attempt at a memorial service the other day when His Royal Majesty the Crown Prince was on a state visit?”

“Yeah, I saw an article. It was a real relief to hear that he made it out alive.”

“Many countries are in the midst of power struggles right now, so we can’t know for certain when something might happen. The best thing to do is to plan for any eventuality. And on top of that, it could be a big opportunity for me.”

“What do you mean?”

“If I can prevent an attack before it happens and apprehend the culprit, wouldn’t it bring me closer to becoming the youngest-ever magus?”

“Good grief. You’re too much.” I sighed. “Are ranks and titles that important to you? That way of thinking can’t be good for your heart.”

“I don’t necessarily
