Three days passed quickly after the duel between Lux and Kiara. During that time, no other events caught Lux's attention.
To be honest, Lux thought Kiara would come find herself while saying hostile words.
He knew very well about Kiara's self-esteem. After losing that duel, Kiara would definitely not accept it and try to challenge herself again.
How wrong he thought so ...
"For the past few days ... I'm sorry."
" ... "
The quiet atmosphere filled Lux. He looked at the girl in front of him who voluntarily bowed his head to him in silence.
Even Eilaria and Misha along with her personal servants were stunned as if what they saw at the moment was unbelievable.
Seeing Lux not returning her words, Kiara misunderstands that she will not forgive him, so she says :
"I know it's hard to forgive me after my very rude behavior, but give me a chance to make amends."
"No ... You don't have to do that. I've forgiven you."
Reading the ice writing, Kiara frowned but in the end, she nodded calmly.
"All right, then ... The lux? Can I call you that?"
"Yes ..."
"You can also call me with Brother Kiara."
"You sure?"
"I don't mind."
Staring at Kiara whose expression really did not show any rejection, Lux said.
"I understand, Brother Kiara."
"It doesn't have to be so polite. In terms of status, you are higher than me" Kiara said. "And I know this is impolite, but can I join you?"
"I'm fine."
"S-as long as Big Brother Kiara doesn't seize Big Brother Lux, I'm fine."
" ... "
For some reason, the atmosphere became silent for a moment after Misha said that sentence without hesitation.
Fortunately, the atmosphere of silence was broken with the appearance of an assassin from the Frost Family kneeling in front of Lux, Kiara, and Misha.
"Sorry to disturb the spare time of Young Master and Young Miss. Duchness Olivia called the three of you to gather in the dining room."
...***...
"The three of you are getting familiar."
" ... "
At this moment, Lux, Kiara, and Misha were already sitting on a chair. In front of them were already served various sumptuous dishes placed on the table.
In the center and at the very end of the table was Duchess Olivia, who squinted at the sight of her three children.
His gaze halted for a moment as he looked at Lux before looking back at Kiara.
"Say Mom, what did you call the three of us at the same time?" kiara asked calmly.
"After your defeat in that duel, you become calmer."
"It's all thanks to your conspiracy, Mother."
" ... "
A cold atmosphere instantly filled the room, even Misha was a little nervous and held Lux's arm tightly.
As for Lux, her expression had not changed behind the mask at all. Although from another point of view, this scene looked terrifying, but Lux knew This was the Frost Family's way of expressing their affection.
Yeah ... Although their ways were a bit strange, but given the Frost Family personality, this somehow felt suitable.
"How do you feel in this place, Lux?"
Seeing that Duchess Olivia ignored Kiara, Lux immediately replied. "Good ..."
"If there's something you don't like in this place ... Just tell Mom. Understood?"
" ... "
The indifferent tone of Duchess Olivia made Lux speechless, but she still nodded calmly. "Yes." Yeah."
"Dan ... Misha."
"Y-yes, Mommy."
"Do you feel pain in a certain area?"
"N-no, so far I'm fine Mom."
"Good."
Looking at the Duchess Olivia who was as if trying to get along with them, Kiara raised her eyebrows, but did not comment anything about it.
"Now ... The reason I gathered the three of you together was that I wanted to convey something."
" ... " The three waited for Duchess Olivia's next speech.
"Sword Saint of Astrea Family ... It's been determined."
The statement managed to make Kiara frown and Lux narrowed her eyes while Misha looked a little confused.
"Pwp ... Who is the S-sword Saint?" misha asked in shame.
"Ah, I almost forgot about it." Duchness Olivia realizes that Misha is too young. So it's only natural that Misha doesn't know.
Duchness Olivia wanted to explain to Misha, but she was also at a loss as to how to explain.
"Sword Saint is basically a figure equivalent to a Hero or even surpassing him," Lux explained in a calm tone.
The three women were a little dazed when they heard Lux's calm and enchanting voice, but Duchness Olivia immediately regained her senses and retorted.
"Yes, more or less so."
"So what does this Sword Saint have to do with us?" ask Kiara.
"Since the Sword Saint was basically a figure that symbolized most of the imperial power, the Emperor decided to have a meeting with the four duke families and the entire noble to discuss further developments."
"just that? It has nothing to do with us, right?"
"There," said Duchess Olivia briefly. "In addition to the meeting between all the nobles, the emperor will also perform the inauguration as a form of honor. In other words ... The three of you can come with me to the Astrea Family territory."
Hearing that, both Kiara and Lux raised eyebrows. Duchess Olivia's statement was not difficult to understand.
The so-called inauguration was nothing but nonsense. What the emperor really wanted was ... Competition among young people all nobles.
"Bothers ..." Kiara's mutter frowned. He really didn't want to get involved in this.
Competition between noble children was not something that could be considered trivial. Their dignity and family name are at stake.
Of course, they could take advantage of this opportunity to establish a good relationship with the other nobles, but unfortunately it was not that easy.
Each noble was trying to take each other down, including the four duke families competing against each other.
"I'm not forcing you to come along. I just want to convey it. Options are on kali–"
"I'm coming ..."
"Lux?" Both Duchness Olivia and Kiara were a little surprised.
Especially Duchess Olivia who did not expect Lux to take the risk.
"You sure about that? There's a chance you'll be found ..." Duchess Olivia did not continue her remarks because she knew Lux understood what she meant.
Unlike in the Frost Family region where all suspicious people would definitely be exterminated, in other regions like the Astrea Family there was most likely an intruder from the Nyx Laboratory.
If they knew the Lux Silverfrost, their masterpiece was in the Astrea Family region, Nyx Laboratory would definitely not hesitate to take action.
"I'll be fine."
Hearing Lux's calm words as if full of confidence, Duchess Olivia did not hesitate anymore.
"Alright, but remember ... If there's a problem, don't hesitate to call Mom."
Lux nodded in response. As for Kiara and Misha, they were a little confused from not understanding. Kiara frowned suspiciously as she felt that there was important information hidden by her mother.
"In that case, I want to go with Brother Lux ..." The shy Misha said softly.
Hearing that, Kiara also did not need to hesitate anymore. "I'm coming too."
" ... "
Seeing her two daughters agree, Duchess Olivia was slightly shocked inwardly. After all, he knew the two were not interested in this kind of event.
Misha is understandable given her weak physique but for Kiara ... Duchness Olivia was a little suspicious.
Staring at Lux, he muttered inwardly ...
'This is impossible, right? They just met one day ...'
"Because everyone has agreed, we're leaving tomorrow. Get ready, but before that ..."
Looking at the dish already served in front of them, Duchess Olivia continued her sentence. "Let's enjoy the food."
...***...
[In my generation, Sword Saint does not exist, but if it appears in your generation, this is a bad sign ]
'You're right.' Lux nodded.
To most people, the appearance of Saint Sword was a good sign, but to Lux and the White Queen, it had the opposite meaning.
The Sword Saint was one of the existences that was greatly loved by the world. It was no exaggeration to say Sword Saint was more or less like the protagonist.
As mentioned ... The protagonist will often get into trouble. In the case of Sword Saint, it meant that the problem was much bigger.
As for what matters were going on, including Lux herself, no one knew.
'In the plot, it is mentioned that there will be several incidents during the inauguration of Sword Saint, but it is not explained in detail.'
That's what makes Lux want to participate in this event. The curiosity in his heart prompted him to interfere.
As for ruining the plot or something? Lux doesn't really care about that. After all, ever since he decided to escape from Nyx Laboratory, he had already ruined the storyline of this world.
Other than that ... Lux was curious about the Sword Saint's current appearance.
But just in case ...
'White Queen ...'
[What's up? ]
'You previously said you have found a magic that suits me, right? Then teach me.'
[ ... ] The White Queen fell silent for a moment then said calmly: [Alright ... ]
...***...
"Sword Saint is already determined. Have you heard it?"
"Yes, yes, that's true ..."
"Damn it, then the empire will become even stronger and we have no chance to continue our plan."
"Then what do you think we should do?"
"What do you think we should do?"
"Isn't it clear?"
"Yes, that's obvious, right?"
The several robed figures stared at each other with cruel and crazy grin.
"Let's do it..."
"Yes, yes ... Let's do it."
"It's gonna be fun ..."
That night, right on that day, strange giggles and laughter echoed.
