Saryll POV
Stepping into the eting room, I allow my majestic aura to set forth. The Spirit Knights at the round table imdiately stand to greet .
"We welco Your Majesty!"
From left to right, their nas are Eins, Zwei, Vier, Funf. There is one seat missing between Zwei and Vier that belongs to Drei who is currently in prison.
It's a sha the Spirit Agreent doesn't allow to execute Drei and Vier directly. These brothers are becoming too arrogant, especially Vier.
"Be seated."
The knights return to their seats. Behind , Abelis and Earl are the only ones who remain standing. My eyes linger onto Earl for a mont longer than they should, causing him to et my gaze. His mysterious purple eyes give flashbacks to the lewd things we've been doing, making incredibly excited.
I return my vision to in front of .
"Before we get started, I would like to announce that the position of the Royal Aid has been filled by this human behind , Earl Roth."
The knights imdiately look at each other at my decision. Their reaction was no surprise considering during my reign in these past hundred years, I've operated without a Royal Aid.
"As a brief introduction, Earl has been under my care since he was a child. He will also be engaged to Alea, marrying into the Royal Family."
There was silence.
"This is unacceptable, Your Majesty. A human marrying into the family!?" Vier imdiately speaks up.
Eins then followed up with a calm voice. "I agree. He will die of old age before Princess Alea takes the throne, Your Majesty."
This reaction was to be expected. I look to Abelis and he imdiately backs up.
"The ti has beco so peaceful you've learned to question Her Majesty, huh?"
His voice oozes of his Grand Rank power. Without a doubt, he was one of the strongest in the Kingdom. Stronger than . Stronger than anyone in the room.
"This is Alea's decision and I will not allow anyone to question it!" Abelis continues to talk. His aura presses onto Eins and Vier in particular.
The atmosphere within the room has beco tense. But this is soon broken when Zwei begins to speak.
"Now, now. This is no ti to be so tense. It's a ti of celebration after all. We elves are always so platonic, why don't we look at this change optimistically for once?"
As the only female among the Spirit Knights, she is the most carefree and laid-back of them all. Coming from the ancient family of Ailos, she has their signature white hair and red eyes. Needless to say, she is very beautiful. The Spirit Knight armour she wears gives her a very valiant vibe. Unfortunately, I don't swing that way.

"Let's also take this opportunity to introduce ourselves. Hello, Earl! My na is Zwei. I'm only a couple of hundred years young, but I guess that might be a lot for you? Anyways if you ever need any help you can co to . Nice to et you!" She smilingly greets Earl and ends it with a wink.
This harlot...
"It's my pleasure, Miss Zwei. I'll be in your care."
Earl politely greets her back. Him being the way he is, I don't know what he's thinking exactly since he would shift his deanour to a more comfortable one to whoever he's talking to.
"I guess I'm next since Zwei started first?" Vier spoke with a dark face. "My na is Vier. I co from the noble family of Arainne. That is all."
"Hello."
The Arainne family... What a pest.
"It's my turn now. My na is Funf but you already know that. I am in charge of the training ground you and Princess Alea always go to."
Funf is a big man with a thick chest and broad shoulders. He is a man of heavy presence despite his few words.
"It's been a while, sir."
And last but not least, Eins.
"My na is Eins. I apologize for my words earlier. If Princess Alea has chosen you, you must be soone special."
"I've heard of your na."
Eins is the one in command of the Spirit Knights when Abelis is not around. He has dirty blonde hair and a battle-hardened face. This man is very serious so he's a good subordinate but it often cos off the wrong way.
With the introduction done, we begin to talk about arrangents for the Spirit Festival.
The Spirit Festival is the biggest event in the Kingdom. It is the ti when everyone cos together to share their joy, their happiness, their troubles, and much more.
As a part of this festival, there is the Spirit Festival Youth Competition. It is a ti for those under the age of 100 to battle and show their talents. The Spirit Festival is an event that happens every 10 years. Every 10 years, the winner would get the chance to et the Spirit King and enjoy his blessings.
This blessing would give one eligibility to beco a Spirit Knight. Of course, this was not all, considering there were only 6 Spirit Knights in all the years that passed. This was part of the Spirit Agreent set by our ancestors thousands of years ago. It is also for this reason that I am unable to exterminate the pests known as Drei and Vier directly.
To expand on the Spirit Agreent, the origin of it all started when it beca known that the barrier between the Spirit World and the Middle World is weakest during this ti every 10 years. This ans the connection between the Spirit World and the Middle World is at its strongest and many elves would often find their talent in Spirit Magic during this ti. It is also ti to get a Contracted Spirit if one is lucky enough.
It was an event that benefitted both sides. Users of Spirit Magic need spirits to beco stronger. On the other hand, spirits beco stronger the more they stay in the Middle World.
I'm planning to use this chance to have both Earl and Alea get their own Contracted Spirits during this ti.
It was my favourite event for a good reason. Just thinking about the smiling faces of the citizens, the big crowds, the lively crowds, and the flashing lights in the night sky was enough to put in a good mood.
