The Guardian Knight of Affection-Starved Young Ladies

61 – The Turmoil Spread in the Social Circle (04)

062.

After the image of Selassia Hyatt was revealed, the social circle of the Claire Empire was naturally in an uproar.

Well, it was to be expected.

All the young ladies were shedding blood and sweat to have a beautiful image.

Another mage with an image appeared after Eliana.

Moreover, the name was Selassia Hyatt.

Even putting aside the fact that it was one of the four families supporting the empire.

Selassia is a person with such great talent that she mastered magic on her own.

Despite being a woman from the North, she self-taught magic because she couldn’t wield a sword.

Magic is not something that can be learned just by self-study.

It’s not for nothing that people spend a fortune to find a teacher and still fail to master magic.

So, there were few who did not know of her talent, who had self-taught magic and barely stepped into the second rank.

Moreover, now that she has appeared in the Ecclesia Salon and is actively participating in social activities.

Such a genius has awakened her imagery.

Following Eliana, even Selassia.

Coincidentally, both girls belong to the Ecclesia Salon.

All the gossipers focused on that point.

The long-standing tradition and the members of the salon are all children of influential families.

With two young ladies possessing imagery coming from such a salon,

It is no exaggeration to say that the current social scene revolves around Ecclesia.

However.

There are always those who exist.

Those who, when everyone else is focused on the big picture, delve into the flow.

Someone is focusing not on the Ecclesia Salon, but on Eliana and Selassia, who have awakened their imagery.

Among them, the facts that are heard from time to time were enough to attract their attention.

‘In the beautiful masterpiece, the figures of a boy and a girl are depicted.’

A boy.

Of course, it was said that the imagery showed the figures of a boy and a girl,

That alone is enough to break the common sense so far.

Everyone laughs it off as nonsense.

But if you think about it a little, it’s not something that couldn’t happen.

The young masters and ladies of the social world are not fools.

If it happened once, it might be dismissed, but the same thing happened twice.

There are definitely people who witnessed it firsthand.

Where could there be a more perfect verification than this?

They concluded.

The current flow of the social world was not created by the Ecclesia Salon, nor by the young ladies of the two great families.

The boy engraved in the mind.

“…That’s how it happened.”

“That’s a big deal.”

“Indeed. It’s a big deal.”

“…”

“…”

Kallen glanced at Blamia and then bowed his head.

“I’m sorry, Master.”

“What do you mean?”

“…You told me not to stand out, but unintentionally…”

“That’s not it, is it?”

Kallen looked up slightly to see Blamia staring at him.

Kallen licked his lips and corrected himself.

“I’m sorry for creating mental images for the young ladies without realizing it.”

“You do know. Eliana, Selassia. And even my granddaughter.”

Mental images cannot be created just because one wants to.

It’s certainly strange that mental images were created for every young lady Kallen met,

but it’s hard to see it as intentional.

Moreover, mental images are something everyone dreams of and desires to obtain.

There seems to be no reason for Kallen to bow his head.

But Kallen couldn’t hold his head high.

The problem was the scenery of the mental images.

The young ladies gazing affectionately at the scenery, which could be called a breathtaking view.

And Kallen.

To an outsider, it would undoubtedly look like a scene between lovers.

Since three young ladies shared such scenes with him, Kallen had nothing to say.

In fact, if he wanted to, he could defend himself sufficiently, but the fact remains that the three young ladies awakened mental images related to him.

“It’s done.”

“…Yes?”

“Stop bowing your head and sit properly.”

No matter how eccentric his personality, he never speaks empty words.

Kallen knows this about Blamia.

As Kallen raised his bowed head and straightened his posture, Blamia continued speaking.

“It’s a good thing. Except for a few minor inconveniences, there couldn’t be a better situation.”

“Are you referring to the imagery?”

“Yes. This is also thanks to you.”

Kallen could understand the meaning in an instant.

A good situation, of course, refers to the revival of the family.

The reason Blamia has been diligently going around outside is to prepare for that.

Sinat aimed for the third rank to safely inherit the position of head of the family.

A minimal line with few words and the least expectations for future actions.

But if you look at their circumstances, the only result left is that they failed to reach the third rank.

That means it will be even more difficult for the Dranus family to regain their former power.

The situation Blamia mentioned is that Sinat failed to reach the third rank.

But now, it’s different.

Because there is imagery.

Although they failed to find a way to raise the magic rank, they gained an even better weapon called imagery.

Moreover, the imagery of Sinat that Blamia examined was beautiful.

As beautiful as Eliana’s and Selassia’s, which he saw in the social circles.

Those two are in a position to help Dranus.

With the Dranus family, which has awakened beautiful imagery, they might be able to gain much greater power than Blamia thought.

Blamia thought so as he looked at the kid in front of him.

The most important thing in that thought is Kallen.

Already at the fourth rank before the coming-of-age ceremony.

There are conditions, but this unbelievable talent will show its face in the social circles.

On the day it is revealed that he has a special relationship with the young head of the Dranus family.

Even the imperial family won’t be able to touch him easily.

The fifth rank.

The minimum line where Kallen can reveal his talents without any trouble, even if he ignores his advice.

Considering Kallen’s talent and current growth rate,

I think it’s not just a dream for him to reach the 5th rank when he comes of age.

Even if you put aside the reason that you need to keep him by Sinat’s side to feel at ease.

He is an indispensable person in the Dranus that Sinat will create.

“It’s almost the end. Soon, you’ll leave this cabin and return to the family.”

“Yes.”

“Have you thought about my proposal?”

From noble mtl dot com

The escort position proposed by Blamia.

It was a request to take on the escort of Sinat.

And at that time, Kallen had many worries, but now he has made up his mind.

He thinks he has repaid the favor diligently, and although it’s embarrassing to say it himself, he thinks he has repaid it more than enough.

Although it’s not much of a reward.

Wouldn’t it be okay to know what the outcome is, even if it’s in some form?

“Yes. I will do it.”

“You should have said so earlier.”

Blamia’s lips curled up in a peculiar way as he said that.

Blamia, who had shaken off old nightmares, no longer had any reason to keep Kallen at a distance.

It brought about a good change, and Kallen swallowed his emotional surge as he saw that smile.

The two priests had been talking for a long time.

The atmosphere was gradually calming down.

“So. What are those images really? What happened to Sinat?”

Blamia hurried in and confirmed only the landscape of the images.

Since then, he had started talking with Kallen, so it was natural that he didn’t know the details.

“I’m sorry, but I really don’t know, Master. All three of us have been aware of the images for some time now.”

“Hmm… Well. You are a strange one yourself.”

But that’s a difficult question for Kallen to answer as well.

How should he explain something unintended?

“But I think I know one thing.”

“One thing?”

“Wouldn’t something beautiful happen if we saw a pretty scenery together?”

Eliana, Selassie, Sinat.

To Kallen, the imagery these three ladies have awakened all share a common point.

All with him.

The fact that they saw a breathtaking view that seemed out of this world.

At the same time, the image of the two people looking at that scenery is captured in the imagery.

He doesn’t know how such a thing is possible.

But it is already a fact, and reasoning must be based on facts.

Although it is somewhat embarrassing to say it himself.

It is still true.

“Seeing a beautiful place with you, kid…”

“Do you have any idea?”

“No. Imagery is given in the first place.”

Given.

Listening to Blamia’s words, Kallen thought of Felicius and Tiasse.

They called the imagery the world.

Passed down from the old monarch.

Their own power inherited in the family.

Kallen’s imagery had such power, and although he didn’t know about other imageries.

It is certain that ‘imagery’ is related to the spirit world.

“The spirit world…”

“After Sinat’s matter is over, I plan to go to the spirit world. Then I might find out something.”

“Will you?”

He doesn’t know if he will find what he wants.

But if he tries to find out, it might not be impossible.

Kallen nodded, thinking so.

“Ah. Kid.”

“Yes.”

“The ladies of Lakatus and Hiatt seemed to be looking for you.”

“Eliana and Selassie?”

“Originally, I should have brought one of the two. But since everyone wanted to come, I left them behind and came. It seems like they are looking for you. The atmosphere and all.”

It hasn’t been that long, but it should be enough time to forget.

After all, emotions are highly volatile.

“Yes… well. I understand.”

“Good. And Sinat asked you to come see her after she finishes talking. Go ahead.”

“Understood.”

Was it the Ecclesia of Mland?

Callen could vaguely recall the tea house in the central square he visited last time.
