Time passed so quickly that I had already spent my second year in Farbeni. Although time is very important to me, I look back and realize that I have done nothing in the past two years.
I spent most of my time in the palace. Even if I could occasionally accompany the princess out, there would always be a large group of loyal supporters of the princess following behind me. As Princess Lia grew older, the number of supporters also increased in a straight line. From the initial few hundred people, it had skyrocketed to the current number of official soldiers.
I didn't even make a move in two years. If it wasn't for the fact that I had to help the princess practice magic, I wouldn't even be able to reach my original level.
Today is an important day. Today is my fifteenth birthday, and it's also the big day for my coming-of-age ceremony. After today, after the coming of age ceremony, according to the rules of the Tai Long Empire, I will be a true adult.
I can join all sorts of academies to study, and I can learn magic that interests me the most. I can also learn martial arts, strategy, politics, art…
In short, after the rites of passage, they could choose the direction they liked.
(Before the age of fifteen, nobles were generally educated by the family's special teachers. The descendants of knights would receive knight education from their parents from the age of five. The commoners could only rely on their own efforts. However, since Altais III came to power, the initial education of the commoners had greatly improved.）
The coming-of-age ceremony was held in Teacher Will's residence. As my teacher, he could be considered the person closest to me.
Although I wasn't a noble, I was able to gather quite a number of people I knew and didn't know due to my status as a Grand Magister, Teacher Will.
Of course, as the Emperor who had a promising future and was personally conferred the title of " Royal Knight " and the Princess's closest companion, I also attracted the attention of many people.
A person with foresight is very optimistic about my future and is planning to rope me in! Look, this fat viscount invited me to visit his mansion again. I know my purpose without asking.
What was strange was that many of these old grandpas and uncles had come, but why did they bring their noble ladies with them?! It doesn't seem like Children's Day today! Today's main character, I, who had finally gotten out of the makeup pile, couldn't help but complain.
I never noticed that I was very popular among the ladies. I had an indescribable attraction to them.
The ceremony officially began. Solemn music echoed in the auditorium as I slowly walked in. Only then did I realize that the hall was strangely quiet. The honorable Emperor was smiling at me from the highest position.
"What is it? His Majesty the Emperor is here!" I was surprised by this. After all, there was no such program. Only nobles had the right to request His Majesty to conduct a coming-of-age ceremony.
After the majestic emperor finished his long opening speech, he patted my shoulder with his sword. "Fertile Star, from today onwards, you will officially become a man, a brave, intelligent, and loyal Royal Knight of the Empire.
Rise, the Tai Long Empire will become stronger because of your existence.”
After hearing His Majesty's words, I was actually quite excited. It was as if I was filled with power. The others also applauded. After all, the person the emperor valued could not be offended!
Of course, there was no lack of people who were secretly jealous. Who asked me to obtain the title of " Royal Knight " so early that some people would never be able to obtain it in their entire lives! Of course, how could they have predicted that I still had a long way to go? My destination was far from being this little " Royal Knight ".
After the coming-of-age ceremony, Altais III asked me kindly,""After the coming of age ceremony, you can choose the school you want to go to. What are your plans?”
"Of course I'm going to the magic academy! My teacher said that I was cut out to learn magic, and I also felt that I still had a lot to improve on in terms of magic.”I replied with my head lowered.
" Yeah, after all, I'm going to be the strongest man in the world."
I thought to myself.
" This…this…" I felt strange seeing the emperor stutter.
"Is there a problem? Even if they couldn't enter the Royal Magic Academy, they could still enter the ordinary Magic Academy.”I thought it was because my status wasn't enough to enter the advanced academy.
"No…that's not what I meant. Hehe, you know my little daughter's problem. She loved novel things the most. Recently, she had been fascinated by martial arts. She said that magic was only good to look at but useless. It took a long time to cast a spell and it was useless. It was better to use it directly.
(This theory is mainly aimed at a freak like me. Sigh, who asked me to be too strong!，Worry)
Her coming-of-age ceremony was coming up in three months, and she insisted on choosing the Royal Martial Arts Academy. I'm already so old, and she's my only daughter. I'm really worried about letting her fight alone!”
After listening to His Majesty the Emperor's nagging for a long time, I finally understood that there was no such thing as a free lunch in this world. I was wondering why this honorable Emperor would suddenly appear today. As expected, he had another purpose.
After hearing his meaning, I immediately performed a standard knight salute in front of him and said,"As the princess 'personal knight, I, Fertility Star, will never let the princess come to any harm. I have decided to learn martial arts and become an excellent knight to protect the princess.
For this reason, I deeply feel the importance of learning martial arts. I have decided to join the Royal Martial Arts Academy to study.”Actually, this is just me being the vanguard, being a bodyguard, and helping the princess get rid of those annoying " flies ".
At the same time, I also asked Princess to develop a relationship with me.
So that I can inherit the family business in the future.
Hehe!
After hearing these words, His Majesty was overjoyed. As a reward for my sacrifice, all my expenses in school will be covered by the Empire. I will also have ten gold coins as pocket money every month.
Ah! Was this considered living off a woman?
Probably not.
After all, I also have to spend time with the princess.
Of course, I don't understand the importance of money
He didn't feel much about this.
Ten days later, I reported to the Royal Martial Arts Academy located in the western suburbs of Farbeni.
I discovered that the Royal Magic Academy was right next to it. It turned out that in order to show that magic and martial arts were complementary in the Tai Long Empire, even the two schools were built together. I looked enviously at the students who entered the Magic Academy and turned around to enter the Martial Arts Academy.
I received special attention and was assigned to the preparatory class. I was the only one in this class, and there was only one subject for all of them-familiarizing themselves with the academy environment.
Later on, I found out that Princess Lia's class would only start three months later. Now, I could slack off.
After all, it was very tiring to spend time cultivating beauty!
