Chapter Two: The Countess is Invited to Another Country

In a corner of the expansive gardens of the Mercure estate, rainbow-patterned objets d’art were displayed beside a fountain that emitted water glimmering in similar iridescent hues. Nearby, a long table in the same vibrant color scheme was piled high with an array of dishes. The Mercures were currently celebrating an important event that only happened every few years.

This decor is much lovelier than it was at that tea party I went to. I really have a knack for decorating! I—Lam, the Countess of Mercure—thought with satisfaction as I admired my work. Today was a momentous day for the future of our house, and it certainly deserved to be celebrated.

“Canon, Mine, Bombe. Congratulations on finishing your studies! Cheers, everyone!” I exclaimed, raising my glass in celebration, and everyone else followed suit.

The children—dressed to the nines—had vastly different reactions. Canon remained seated, quietly staring at his glass, while Mine jumped to her feet, a proud expression on her face. As for Bombe, he seemed far more interested in the dishes laid out on the table than his own graduation toast.

I used my magic to scatter a flurry of cherry blossoms through the air. The petals fluttered in the wind, spreading to float gently away into the clear sky. “What a beautiful day!” I declared. The sky was just the same as it had been five hundred years ago, a vast expanse of blue stretching as far as the eye could see.

“It really is,” Char commented, looking up at the sky beside me.

“If only the decorations weren’t such an eyesore,” Barre remarked rudely as he passed by. He always has something to say about my sense of decoration!

While he was quite skilled at exterminating monsters, Barre had no aesthetic sensibilities whatsoever, and he always found fault with my designs. Oh well, no matter. For now, celebrating the children’s graduation is the priority.

Canon, Mine, and Bombe would be turning sixteen this year, which meant they would officially begin working as mages for the House of Mercure. The family was perpetually understaffed, so the trio’s graduation came as a welcome relief. It would certainly lighten the load for Char and the others.

I’d actually come up with a proposition for Char following the children’s graduation. “How about we assign the new graduates a mentor? It’d help them learn their new roles and expand their magic repertoires.”

During my lessons, I’d found that teaching the children one-on-one allowed them to pick up new spells much faster, so there was no reason this approach wouldn’t work just as well in their incoming positions as mages. Besides, I wanted to make sure they had enough opportunities to learn new spells, even now that they were done with school.

“Lam? What in the world are you talking about? The kids have already graduated, remember?” Char said.

He looked genuinely perplexed, so I explained, “Five hundred years ago, most mages traditionally learned their craft by working as apprentices for other mages. What would you think of adopting a similar approach?”

“Apprentices?” Char repeated, blinking confusedly.
