Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

The facades of Count Gartner's house also come into the hall when the row seats are in order and all is ready. I've seen the faces in line, poked my knees, and greeted them with courtesy of my subordinates.

Ritual magic about covenants, pledges, and servitudes - in the formal setting, is the domain of magical inquisitors. Derek assumes the role of moderator.

"Well done, Count Gartner. And Lord Byron. It is an oath ritual that takes place today. It is not so much a punishment, but also a place to hold thoughts in your chest and declare your determination to walk out anew. If so, we should be greeted with the Word of Blessings"

Derek says that much, then gives way to King Melvin.

"I hear what you think and how you got here. This is all the facial touches I've gathered in an unexpected time... but the rest are just spectators. Don't lose sight of what you should have done. Little by little. Step by step to make sure you feel the same way about your chest."

"But it's a bad word."

To King Melvin's words, Byron answered nervously but slightly with his eyes open.

Sure, King Melvin, King Leandre, and King Ignado may be present, but that's not what I'm talking about.

It's not "I'm looking for first-line strength as a martial arts officer" if I argue even with my studies.

Rutger also knew that and thought about the content of the training according to the person in question. King Leandre gave me a heartbeat when he said he was good at adding and removing martial arts officers because he had extensive experience teaching them.

Byron originally had sword arms at the same age, so I don't think he could fight without some problems if he was a demonic opponent near Count Gartner's territory even if he didn't have to help teach or just work out again. That's just not enough to rebuild trust from around you.

Behavior is the only way to show if it's enough to trust you… that's why the fact that you've trained and rebuilt leads to insistence and willingness. Well, that depends on Byron too...

Either way, don't overfeel King Melvin's words.

"Then Lord Byron. In the middle of the hall - inside the circle of magic formation."

"Ha."

Encouraged by Derek's words, Byron rises. From the nervousness or the expression was stiff...... Daryl and I gazed for a moment. When Darryl nodded with a serious face, Byron shook his neck vertically to correspond again... I have the impression that the quality of his expression has changed slightly, whether it was reopened or blown out when he raised his face.

"Hmm..."

and leaks his voice as Rutger was impressed with how Byron looked like that.

As a brother, huh? Darryl also... had several opportunities to have contacts with kings from all over the country, but he was also quite nervous around greetings in the beginning. I guess you know how Byron feels.

Thus, Byron stands at the center of the magic formation with a serious look on his face.

The type of magic - vow magic. It was Byron himself who wanted it. Speaking of pledge magic... there is an anecdote to the effect that if you break an oath, you will lose your life... well, in this case, you won't have to take that much risk.

In the case of Byron, I am not a magician, so I will undertake the deployment and maintenance of the surgical ceremony and control here.

The contents of the pledge have been memorized in such a way that there is no mistake, but if there is a mismatch between the main points and the wording, or if there is a shortage, the magic team is depicted to prevent the magic from activating, so it is safe to say that there is a mistake in Byron's recitation.

"Now we will carry out the sworn ritual of Lord Byron more than this. Those present will be all those present here."

That's what Derek said. I nod, too, and stick the Uroboros stone bump to the floor.

The magic team shines - that's how Byron describes the pledge.

"I - Byron pledge. From now on, as one of the martial arts officers serving the Kingdom of Verdogal, I will devote my life to being right."

In this way, the conditions for activating pledge magic and what happens if it is broken will be described one by one. For example, do you think it is a precaution to draw a line and not touch on the issue of the succession of Count Gartner's family, or not to harm others with negative emotions or temporary emotions?

Even if you have a pledge, you are somewhat free inside. A surgical formula works against deliberate actions that just violate a pledge, or malicious inaction.

If it is normal, you will not be able to move outside of your mouth, and you will be lifted by obtaining confession of sin and forgiveness from the rightful opponent. If you are in the middle of something, harmful behavior will be inhibited and you will be equally unable to move when you return to normal times. There's something about this area that I'm thinking about wording, with reference to the vow magic of Rosemary.

Sometimes Byron himself participated in the content arrangement, because he meant it, and the recitation of the content was solid. Never to be redone, until the last sentence a good voice sounds in the hall of the Knight's Tower. As the magic of the field increases, the magic formations painted on the ground erupt the columns of dazzling light.

In that light, Byron had a surprising look on his face. Where the light has subsided, Derek proclaims it exalted.

"This Derek-Borger. I did hear Lord Byron's determination and vows. As a magical inquisitor serving the Kingdom of Verdogal, and as one of those present in the liturgy of the oath. I declare in this name that there is no mistake in the establishment of the pledge magic."

A great applause arises from the face of Derek's words. Byron was looking up at the sky with a surprised look as he received the applause, but eventually closed his eyes and nodded loudly.

"Are you okay? Is there anything wrong with your health?

"I don't think there's a problem. It's just... it's not what I thought. I thought it was more solemn, it felt warm..."

When Darryl asks Byron, who looks somewhat relieved, Byron laughs and answers that he is not worried.

"I wonder if it's because the people around me are accepting it. Pledge magic is also a testament to determination. Sometimes I think my vows are on my own."

He also remembers Rosemary for that feeling of Byron. Byron was nodding as he was convinced by the words.

Clean up the magic formations painted on the floor where the sworn ritual is over. The magic can pass, so gather the powder of the magic stone by goleming it and put it back in the crate, and you'll be done cleaning up.

"So - shall we head to the hotel? I have a seat to celebrate my new doorstep. It would be a good idea to meet face to face in that seat."

"Oh, thank you"

King Melvin laughs lightly at Byron, who looks impressed.

That's why I'm moving from the Knight's Tower to the hotel, while introducing Byron and his first meeting face to face.

Byron was stiff on boulders to King Leandre to the touch of such faces as King Ignado, Rutger, Lazaro and Ignacious, but the Leandre kings also smile, responding as graciously as they regained their minds.

Although Lazarus was not as well known within the Kingdom of Verdogal, Byron seemed to have heard Rutger's story as a beauty story as he was aiming to be a knight, and Lazarus had bowed in a rigid manner while hearing about his shadow. Though Rutger and Lazaro laugh pleasantly at how Byron looks like that.

"You can't be so frightened. I also failed when I was young to be helped by His Majesty Leandre and his surroundings. If that's how you're happy to have someone to support you... you should be able to do that in the future"

"- Yes."

It is a Byron who responds to Rutger's words in a serene tone with a serious expression. King Ignado was also grinning at the way Byron looked like that, and Lazaro was also nodding.

Well, the first time we meet each other doesn't look bad. He seemed to have a medium high rating for the gall power he shook off at the foundations of the oath ritual.
