3rd POV

“Neither the light of a million stars nor the light of a full moon can compare to your beauty. I do not know who named it the blue of the heavens, but I am terrified that you might actually ascend to the heavens. Please don’t go anywhere and stay by my side.”

With that, Alexei kissed his sister’s fingertips.

“Oh, my brother.”

That’s my big brother. You have a thick siscon filter that beautifies your sister!

And the rhetorical skills of the aristocratic men are surely amazing!

“My lady, you are truly beautiful. The Order of Yurinova was indeed blessed to be able to crown the most beautiful noblewoman in the Imperial Kingdom.” (Rozen)

“My, you’re really skilled at this. Thank you, Sir Rozen.” (Ekaterina)

Does chivalry also include the art of sweet-talking to noblewomen? It’s a knight’s code of honor to be able to seriously admire beauty. Probably, that’s why.

With Alexei escorting Ekaterina, Rozen led the way to a small room. It was an elegantly decorated room with dark green wallpaper and furniture.

A person Ekaterina knew was waiting for her there.

“Young lady!”

“Mardu-sensei!”

The bespectacled and mild-mannered Anatori Mardu stood there, wearing the ceremonial dress of a member of the Order of Yurinova and holding a sword in his hand.

(E/N: There’s some misunderstanding with Mardu-sensei’s gender so he was depicted as “she” in the earlier chapters. Mardu-sensei is a man, we apologize for the confusion!)

He then bowed profoundly to Alexei and Ekaterina.

“Thanks to you, I have been added to the glorious Order of Yurinova. I will never forget this great favor and will fulfill my duties with all my might.” (Mardu)

Ekaterina was also impressed by his appearance. His spectacles and gentle tone made him look like a civil servant, but his large and strong physique made him look like a knight. Even though he was employed full-time, she was worried that going from tutor to knight might be too much change for a job, but perhaps this would turn out alright for the best.

“Well, sensei, it suits you well. I, for one, have been helped by your wisdom. I’m glad you’ve decided to join our Order.” (Ekaterina)

“Yes, Ekaterina’s fight against the magical beasts was excellent. I hope you can use your insight to improve the tactics of the Order.” (Alexei)

“I’m afraid not. The young lady’s success is due to her own great magical power and eager attitude to learn. I will do my best for the sake of the young lady to whom I am greatly indebted, and for His Excellency Alexei, the beloved leader of the Order.” (Mardu)

Mardu-sensei, you fit in very quickly, or rather, your…… knightly way of speaking is amazing. I’m curious about his prior background before he became a tutor.

But then Alexei said.

“Ekaterina, did you know that Mardu was born in the branch family of Yurimagna and worked for the Astra Research Institute as a researcher? Magna has a very strong martial spirit, so even the scholars at the institute are trained fighters. He’s also skilled in martial arts, and is the perfect person to be the Knight Order’s chief strategist.”

“My, is that so!” (Ekaterina)

“I am embarrassed to say that I lacked patience and ran away. In addition to picking me up from the brink of starvation, I was given a dream-like role to research the literature of the Yurinova family and use it to actually combat magical beasts. I owe everything to you, young lady. My wife and son are also deeply grateful.” (Mardu)

Mardu-sensei is also going to do research on holy magic power for Flora-chan.

I just asked the teacher how to fight against magical beasts. I’m really glad that something turned out good.
