Although the ceremony for the award of the gifted pearl to the young lady was approaching two days later, there never seemed to be any progress on the attempted poisoning of Master Kruvschrat.
The nobles gathered for the award ceremony are naturally forced to stay in the Holy King's Capital for a month from the "Dinner Party of the buds and the crescent moon". Since no further extension is possible, the award ceremony will take place as scheduled —— so the Count contacted me.
Nevertheless,
(--Rain...)
It was starting to rain the night the lady promised me a gifted pearl. I wish it was sunny for the award ceremony the day after tomorrow.
Since the award ceremony says it is "the duty of the nobility" to dress and attend with equal or more effort, although it is not the same outfit as the dinner party, in the morning the lady holds a review meeting on dresses, ornaments and hairstyles together with the head maid and the aunt who hits the remote edge of the Count.
"Here we are, let's go down"
"Yes."
I am me, along with Maxim, Captain of the Sleaze Family Knight, who is coming to the 1st Sanctuary at a meeting about escorts on the day of the award ceremony. I've never been in this area before. Though it's too bad it's dark with thick rain clouds spreading when it comes to noon.
The 1st Sanctuary is where the country's central institutions are gathered. The road is wide and one piece of garbage hasn't fallen into the cobblestone that was cut and fitted with a kick. The rain is bouncing on the cobblestone, which has been polished.
We headed to the Altar Administration building. A three-story building made of white stone, with great shelter at the entrance, we got off the carriage and got behind the escorts of each house we were arriving first.
(They're all pretty old)
Even younger would be in their late 20s or most would be over 40. A knightly, easy-to-move uniform with a sword hanging on his hips. Seems like some wizards because some have short rods rarely.
The diversity of the Holy King of Kulvern is questioned around the city of men, women and races.
Teenagers like me aren't good —— there's something I can't say because they look and age completely different depending on race.
"--This, too, the Viscount Guine family? You're not going to be eligible for the award ceremony this year, are you?
"--Yeah, the Holy Prince is here this year, so I thought you might like some time."
"-- Sounds like a lot of those aristocrats. Thanks to the respite in January, there are noble people from all over the country. This crowd must be better than the First Holy Prince."
"--of the dinner party after all..."
"-- Don't be spoken too loud"
"--Right...... and I wonder what kind of gifted pearls Master Kruvschlatt gets"
The knight captains of each nobleman are passed to the Great Conference Room on the ground floor of the "Altar Management Agency".
It's as big as a banquet could possibly be. There's a round table there with more than 10. Each one seemed to sit somewhat in a place according to his nobility, and I was taken by Mr. Maxim to a table where the knights of the Earls would sit.
(Same topic everywhere)
This year's award ceremony has gathered the nobles in the Holy King's Capital so rarely seen in recent years.
All nobles already know about the attempted poisoning at the dinner party —— rather, we need to come to the Holy King's capital at this time. "Is there something dark behind it? They're coming because they might suspect it."
And it is the subject of a gifted pearl that is given to Master Kruvschlat.
(I don't think there's any information out there that it's a special gifted pearl... After all, as the Count said, only a limited number of "altar management agencies" know it)
Of the leaked information, the current Holy King apparently received a gifted pearl called [Improvisation ] from the previous Holy King. If I were to say if the Holy King now uses this gifted pearl, he would never have. This award ceremony is only meant to demonstrate his majesty as Holy King and his family status as a nobleman. Did the previous Holy King give you that gifted pearl with the desire "to be a bright holy king in art"?
And the 1st Holy Prince, the brother and sister of Master Kurvshrat, said [two swordsmanship ], but the 1st Holy Queen was awarded [sacred magic ]. It didn't seem to make him "the Holy King bright in art".
The [sacred magic] of the 1st Virgin is the crumb, and if this is [human magic] - something that shapes the emotions of others or strengthens their own spirits - etc., it means "those who stand above others". But [sacred magic] is used to fight undead monsters, to purify filthy places, and so on, if you say so, like the superiors of the Church have.
In other words, we all wonder if the message from the Holy King is, "You take it off your successor".
... all knowledge is a take-away from the Count, though.
Incidentally, eight-way magic, such as [fire magic] and [water magic], belongs to the "magical properties", which are blue gifted pearls, while classes such as [sacred magic], [human magic] and [restorative magic] belong to the "mystical properties" of white gifted pearls. Some people put it together and call it "mystic magic".
(No one knows what skill composition the Holy Kings and the Holy Princes are today......)
Well, if you're going to be at the top of the country, you're not actually going to fight with a sword, so you're going to choose a system genius that uses more of these heads, or a genius that makes your body healthier.
"Eh, gentlemen. Thank you very much for coming together. Please be quiet."
When I saw the person who went up on the stage, I was frightened.
He was there —— a giant white rabbit.
No, rabbit beast man...... is that it? A giant rabbit wears a sacrificial hat, and it just looks like she's weaving a cape.
I was wearing a belt from my shoulder and it looked beyond my cape to have a tool pouch or rod holder there.
The him--he? --told me that he would put the thick bundle of paper he had on the side table along with the people with him (that's the human race).
"I am the special priest of the Altar Administration, El-G-Larun. Oh, it's been a while. Well, it's nice to meet you."
Pepper and head down, Mr. Elle.
(Sounds like a greeting to the beginning of a YouTube video)
According to what Mr. Maxim taught me softly, as a priest, he was a considerable veteran and was already a privileged priest at the awarding ceremony of the previous Holy King. How old are you, everyone thinks that's an eternal secret?
One sheet for each house from a thick bundle of paper was handed out with a schedule for tomorrow's award ceremony and a detailed decision. In this world where printing technology has not progressed much, there is also a gift that makes me wonder what kind of technological innovation [calligraphy] has been made to slow down. If it's dozens of pieces of paper being handed out, I guess I'll be writing in a few hours.
(When the venue of the award ceremony is held in the sacrificial hall in front of the "One Day Altar" that accompanies St. Royal Palace… let it go, is it only the person to be awarded and his parents, if not his guardian, who can be admitted?)
He said that all security at the venue would only be provided by an elite team led by the 1st Knights of the Holy Kings, and the Knights Commander. As a matter of fact, I guess I can't leave the security of the Holy Royal Palace to the jurisdiction of the 1st Squad. Well... it's the center in the heart of the Holy King's kingdom, so if anyone was breaking into that place, I wouldn't even be able to see it.
(...... n)
Lifting his eyes, he felt a gaze from a round table close to the altar where Mr. Elle was - that is, from where the highest nobleman knight was.
(Is that Etan's escort?
A halfling escort stared at me.
"Ah."
grin, and smiles and waves. I don't know so I kept my head down with the dust. If you don't see it as an escort, you're usually beautiful, so I don't feel bad about being waved at all.
With that said, that escort is in his early 20s for what he saw, I'm sure... he's young. Isn't that what I say? [M]
