Chapter 209: Sword (3)
TL/ED – Miso
When I returned to the Assembly Hall and sat down with a somewhat uneasy expression, Elysia asked while munching away on a plum.
“Jern? Are you feeling sick?”
“No, there’s just something on my mind. It’s nothing.”
I reassured her worried face, then looked toward Lumia, who stood at the center of the darkened Assembly Hall, bestowing swords upon the knights in a formal tone.
“Having slain five boars at the Hunting Festival and having honed your skill with sword and spear to earn the recognition of Sir Kail, I hereby appoint you as a knight. Riksia, do you accept becoming my sword?”
“Yes! Until the day my life ends!”
The knights were extremely nervous receiving their investiture, perhaps because they stood before the Princess.
I was tense too. At Lumia’s demeanor, which was flawless to the last detail.
