Lily Blanch, an elven princess that’s known for her heavenly beauty. Her na was well-known throughout the country as “The Enchantress” since her alluring look is enchanting—It’s too bland for honestly. I’d rather call her the Aphrodite or sothing than what people call her.
Of course, when I saw her for the first ti, I almost teared up and almost blurted out my honest thoughts. I stood there frozen, srizing the best waifu of the ga.
This is a banquet which ans the incident will probably happen now! The drunkard who assaulted the princess Lily, but if she has her own spirit, doesn’t that an she could protect herself that ti? I pondered over that thought first, but who cares. The only thing I need to be excited about is the part where I can save her like the cliche princess saving troupe. Although I don’t know if it’ll work out, there’s still a chance.
But before that, I need to watch the princess closely as to when she’ll go out to the garden. In addition to that, I need to know where the garden is too... I’m on a mission to save the best waifu of the ga. Comncing the mission right now.
“Claude!”
“Ye-Yeah?! H-Huh?!”
“What the hell is happening to you? You’ve been in a daze since we entered here. Let’s go find a table to seat on.”
“O-Oh yeah!”
“Haah... I guess this is the first ti you’ve seen different kinds of species in one place, huh? Not surprising since we’re living in a human city.” Master Irene then grabbed my arm and embraced tightly. Her breast always suffocates my face because of the difference in our height—I haven’t gotten my growth spurt yet and it annoys .
Later while, we found our table. Many people started greeting Master Irene upon sitting at the table. I’m amazed by the number of people greeting her respectfully. While that’s happening, I sensed so people around , looking at with disdain in their eyes, probably because I’m ‘manaless' or because of Master Irene—I don't know.
People can hide their mana to hide their presence from others, so I don't why they're looking at like that. However, in Master Irene's case, she quickly discerns that I'm manaless at first glance even Clara. Probably the people here are like Master Irene.
Quintessence can’t be sensed by a normal person with mana, as its existence is way beyond theirs—I don’t get the logic of it, but that’s the conclusion I ca up with. When Master Irene told so of her experience fighting this so-called ‘friend’ of hers who has a quintessence like mine—As to why there’s a misconception of other people on having no mana.
During that, I kept glancing at the table of Lily with her father and brother. While at it, I’m searching for the queen or her mother's whereabouts too, as my curiosity piqued because I don’t see any traces of her in here. She’s probably a beauty too, like her own daughter—Hence, I’m scanning around to find an elf with extraordinary beauty other than Lily. But it’s hard since the female elves in here are all a beauty too—It’s making my job harder!
“Claude, go greet the princess. Look at the other kids, they’re greeting her. I’ll need to entertain these people first, so go ahead.”
“Oh, okay. What about Clara?”
“I’ll stay with Madam.”
“I understand then I’ll go.”
“Take care and rember if so kids tried to bully you, just show them who’s the boss. Don’t worry about the consequence, I can handle it.”
“Okay...?”
“Madam is telling the truth, young master. Protect your pride and dignity that’s the way of the Weiss.”
“Yeah, right..."
A hint of seriousness is in the eyes of Master Irene and Clara, which ant I need to take their words seriously—To which I did so. There must be a reason they imparted those words to .
"Well then, enjoy yourselves. I'll go ahead.” I waved my hand to the two.
While walking to the area of Princess Lily’s table, an eyeful of stares are fixated on . Hopefully, those stares would stop, as it’s really making uncomfortable. Can’t they just mind their own business and move on forward? Just one glance at is enough—There’s no need for them to observe every single thing I do.
There’s a huge line of people who are greeting Lily at her table, so I got on the back of the line. As anticipated, many of the people who are in front of are not pleased upon seeing . The discrimination against people with no mana is a big deal, as they’re treated as pests in this world. It’s my first ti experiencing it, probably because I haven’t gone outside too often. Yet, I rember this feeling—The old experience of discrimination of the real Claude.
All looking at as if I’m a person who’s way below them, a person who doesn’t belong in the world. Instead of making a big deal out of it, I chose to ignore these people and continue on. No matter what species, their eyes all look the sa.
“Hey.”
Soone touched my shoulders, to which I glanced behind . The person who got his hand on his shoulder had this condescending look on his face, brown curly hair, brown eyes, and a skinny figure, plus the guy looked older than . At that mont, I know where this is going... Behind him, a beastman male and a human male who had the sa look on their faces as him. Then behind those guys, there are beautiful elven girls—Yep, they’re trying to impress them...
I prepared myself ntally if the situation worsened. However, reality seems to be always playing with , as the very next thing that happened baffled .
“Miss, can you remove the mask? You see, I got a bet with those beautiful ladies over there. Pretty please? We’re just curious about the only disciple of the famous Sword Blade Saint.”
Excuse what? Oh, co on! I knew it! My hair was the actual cause of my problems! Anyhow, what’s the problem with these people? I swear, all the things he said make little sense. Because I was expecting a bloodbath of cliches from the get-go—The thing that happened next is not on the script!
“Yes, pretty please? We wanted to date so Elven beauties, Miss.”
“Please, so I could finally graduate!”
The first one to speak was the beastman, then followed by the human beside him. Their eyes are pleading as if their lives are at stake and I’m the only one who can save them.
I totally get what they’re feeling right now!
However, I’m still a virgin and my pride won’t let , so I’m so sorry, comrades! I ain’t letting you graduate until I graduate first! I apologize for my selfishness, but as a virgin—I just can’t.
“Sorry, my master said that I shouldn’t remove my mask ever.”
“Eh? Can you please just do it quickly? Please, I’m so desperate please! Help out!”
“Sorry.”
Suddenly, he got aggressive and tried to take off my mask. When I saw his hands reaching for my mask, I took several steps backward, effortlessly evading it. The situation escalated real quick—Now, the look on the guy’s face was mixed with confusion and disbelief.
Later while, he lunged once again but this ti with his left hand. He extended his left hand to with his right heel forward to close the distance. Once again, I evaded it with ease just by moving to the side. Because of that, his fuse blew, I think... He beca more aggressive and faster after that.
What a desperate fella...
He continued lunging, trying to unmask . I preemptively blocked all of it with my backhands or by outmaneuvering him with just simple sidesteps. For every second that has passed, his expression gradually getting darkened. At how pissed he was right now, he even started adding a kick to it.
Surprisingly, none of the people here are stopping us. I took a glimpse around , they’re all watching our little fight with amusing faces. Instead of stopping us, they’re watching us in entertainnt like we’re so sort of animal in the zoo. Then my eyes stumbled upon the table of the princess—And, I saw she’s gone! Which ans she could have gone to the garden—I need to go now!
So I caught his extended right hand, adjusted my back foot while my front foot did a sweep kick on his ankle, making him fall to the ground. I didn’t even bat him an eye when he falls, as I run off outside imdiately. Not to ntion, my heartbeat is pounding hard because I don’t know where she might have gone too!
With my speed, I was able to get out of the place like greased lightning because of my quintessence. I was running at full speed, exploring the humongous castle. Took a few minutes to realize that I can just go to a high place for a wider view, which will make it easier to find her, since from what I rember it’s an outdoor garden with an enormous tree.
I leaped to the crenellation. Squinting my eyes around to find any place that looked like a garden. It only took like a few seconds before I saw a stocky humongous tree that’s visible, its leaves reach for the sky, ever trying to reach higher—At the center of a neatly trimd field of grass, frad by various flowers and shrubs, stone pillars, plus a small, picket fence around the loops, offering a glimpse of its pristine look.
“Bingo.”
Crouching at my knees, at the rlon of the crenelation of the castle. I smiled brightly. However, my eyes caught sothing which was the magnificent starry night before I jumped off the rlon.
