Anastasius who was currently working on his piled up documents, he immediately stopped his writing hand when he heard a knock on the door.
Geck, tok, tok.
“Excuse me, Your Majesty! The Princess has arrived. Ap-”
“Let him in!” Before the guard finished his words, Anastasius immediately cut off quickly. He didn't want to waste time with such troublesome things.
“B-good ...”
Until a while later, the door opened and a beautiful girl came gracefully while greeting.
“Honor me facing the royal sun. It was great to see His Majesty in good health.”
Contrary to his words. Anastasius' face was pale and he looked thin and sleepless like Ronand. Nah! It could even be said to be worse.
And the woman praised her while bending her knees slightly and positioning her right foot in front of her left foot while slightly lifting her skirt on both sides gracefully.
Whether it's a compliment or a humiliation.
He looked at Anastasius with a gentle smile. Coupled with her luxurious clothes, her beauty was so dazzling and made Anastasius a little shocked by the unexpected incident.
“... is your personality like that? Stop messing around and get close!” anastasius said and immediately returned to put on his cold face as usual.
“Ck, no exclamation ...” The woman muttered and immediately walked before him a little slowly.
Of course, it was Ariel. Due to his long sleep, he needed to adjust to his stiff muscles and before coming before Anastasius, Ariel had to undergo massage and stretching the muscles of the body that was slightly stiff.
Least. So that he can walk and live daily activities comfortably.
Even so, Ariel who was standing before Anastasius' table, her legs began to ache slightly and glanced at Anastasius while with a pleading gaze. However, it seemed that Anastasius did not understand what Ariel meant and the look on his face revealed confusion.
“...?”
“Haishh~” Ariel sighed tiredly, “What kind of father are you.”
Until after saying that. Ariel stuck her right hand to the side and that very second, a golden light emerged from her palm.
Anastasius, who had no idea what he was going to do, watched for a while and was then startled by the sudden appearance of a chair.
It was the result of his Diligence Skill that had been upgraded by the Evil God 'V'.
He was able to make anything as long as he had magic energy and the object he was going to create was clearly reflected in his mind.
Although at this time Ariel is only able to make simple objects instantly such as chairs, balls and so on.
He is still not able to make complicated objects instantly such as a car that requires many components to make it.
Perhaps it could, if he practiced at all times with his strength of it or made complicated parts one by one and stringed them into something he wanted.
Because right now Ariel has just gained that ability and it takes some time to get used to it.
But making a chair all of a sudden, was enough to make Anastasius become shocked by it.
“Hm?! ... How do you do it?”
“Everyone has their own secrets. I don't have the need to tell you.” Ariel replied, while occupying the chair with a feeling of relief.
“... It's very disrespectful when you're sitting without a person of a higher degree than you giving permission.”
“It is very impolite when the person who invites someone without regard to the condition of his guests at all.” Ariel denied Anastasius' statement with confidence.
Until finally they look at each other and make the atmosphere of the room becomes heavy.
And until a while they were like that. Suddenly the door of the room opened suddenly and was accompanied by a loud voice and someone shouted.
Brak!
He is Ronand. He scratched his cheek doubtfully, “Emm ... am I interrupting?”
“... No. gabe. Maybe your presence can melt the atmosphere in this room.” said Anastasius while sighing tired.
“So. What do you want to call me to this place?” ariel asked impatiently.
Although not polite. Anastasius allowed that. Because he doesn't like to beat around the bush either.
Anastasius sighed and immediately opened his mouth, “Alright .. In another week, I want you to go to Delyth to take the entrance exam of Benedith” Academy
“Hmmm ...”
Ariel could only have a flat face after hearing that.
For some reason, Ariel had already gotten used to the unreasonable requests from them. They could only tell without considering her feelings at all.
And also. Ariel knew that sooner or later she would enter that Academy. Although he did not expect that it had come so quickly.
The problem is his physical condition at the moment. And also ....
“What does testing mean? As far as I know, all noble children are obliged to enter that Academy and immediately enroll as students after age enough. Am I wrong?”
Upon hearing that, Anastasius smiled. He is impressed by Ariel's knowledge that he knows that Ariel has been asleep for a long time.
“ ... What you said is true. But there is one point that you have missed there.” Anastasius said.
“...?”
“Said old enough, you need to pass the maturity ceremony when you were fifteen years old in winter. And at that time, representatives from the Academy came to every country to give school marks to children who attended the ceremony of maturity.”
Upon hearing that, Ariel timidly asked. She is fifteen years old and is currently wintering in Albion.
“Ermm ... so ... when is the maturity ceremony?”
“A month ago.” Anastasius replied quickly.
“.... ”
The ceremony of maturity is very important for children who are old enough to enter the social world.
And now Ariel missed it. It was a disgrace to her who was a member of the kingdom. Although Ariel missed it with a reason.
But he was a little suspicious, with the situation all this. As it had all been planned by someone and Ariel imagined the grinning face of his Evil God 'V'.
Well ... even though I accused him, surely he would just say, 'Truly cruel, it is your custom to accuse everything that makes it difficult for you to always be blamed on me. hiks~.' She cried with crocodile tears. Em .. I'm sure it will be like that.
As long as Ariel kept daydreaming like that, Ronand called out to her from behind, “Hey, what do you think?”
“Hem? Ah .... nothing ....” said Ariel, shaking her head.
“Are you worried?” ronand asked, “Take it easy~, You're a genius. You have talent in all fields, elegant, graceful, authoritative, flexible, beautiful and I also do not know to what extent your talent will develop, I am sure you can get through all that easily.”
“Ya, I already know.”
“....”
“....”
Ariel answered that smoothly. It was as if water was flowing naturally. And that made the room quiet for a moment.
Ronand put on a sour face. She regretted having praised Ariel for calming herself down. It seemed that it was useless to have worried about him.
Connect ....
