Interlude: Celia’s Woes

Some time before Rio and Aishia infiltrated the academy...

In a separate building from the guest house located on the castle grounds, Celia was having supper in the dining hall with her father, Roland Claire, and her fiance, Charles Arbor.

“...It’s been a long time, Celia. I’m sorry I haven’t been able to see you very often until now, even with your wedding ceremony coming up tomorrow.” Seated across from Celia, Roland apologized to his daughter with a grimace. His gaze flickered over to Charles Arbor and the knights that were standing in the room as guards, their presence intruding on the long-awaited private moment between a father and daughter.

“I understand, Father. I’m sure you were busy with your official duties... Just being able to see you like this is enough for me.” Celia smiled fondly and shook her head.

“I’m sure it was unavoidable — these are busy times, after all. I haven’t been able to meet my beloved Celia much either, despite the approaching ceremony,” Charles said tiredly from beside Celia.

A vein in Roland’s temple twitched. “With the departure of the Huguenot faction from the capital, the state of the kingdom has become rather chaotic. I cannot help but worry that moving forth with the ceremony during times like these will cause you undue stress,” he said to the two of them worriedly, pasting a grin on his face.

“No, no. It is precisely because they have fled with their tails between their legs that there is meaning in holding the ceremony right now. It is as I told you before — this marriage between the Arbor House and the Claire House will show those both inside and outside the kingdom that Beltrum’s power is flawless.”

“I understand that, but... It’s my duty as a parent to worry.” Roland nodded, stifling his discomfort.

“Children all grow up one day. Celia understands that well herself, so there is no need for concern,” Charles said with a huff of laughter, looking at Celia.

“...Yes, I am aware,” Celia agreed obediently. With a sigh, Roland tried to seem convinced.

“I see...”

“Besides, the Huguenot faction took one of the sacred stones with them, so they should have a hero on their side, too... Which means they will definitely attempt to justify themselves with their hero. This wedding ceremony will also act as a form of control to those in the Huguenot faction. It is for that reason that we have called for the hero, Rui Shigekura, to officially bless our wedding.” Charles frowned and spoke of Duke Huguenot’s faction with hatred, but the latter half of his words were accompanied by a smug sneer.

“But to hold the ceremony in such a grand way with the parade... I hope you have sufficient security measures in place, in case the Huguenot faction intervenes,” Roland said, looking at Celia with worry.

“There is no need for any concern there. The newly formed Elite Knights are assigned to our security detail, after all. There are also plans to add the Royal Guard to the security detail, too, under His Majesty’s orders,” Charles boasted.
