ASHFORLD ACADEMY

CEREMONY HALL

.

.

Different chatters and noises resounded

in the academy auditorium.

A sleeved uniform had been provided

directly to Tatsuya, who sitting at the

middle row in the auditorium.

The uniform Alice prepared was

custom-designed for his personal use. The

fundamental color was the same as that of

the other students, pure white. The cloth

of his pants, which was incorporated with

holiness, was worn nicely like a

gentleman.

(Damn, the size is perfect...she really

prepared everything...)

Tatsuya cursed Alice in his head.

Then the moment the Alice showed herself, the sound disappeared from the auditorium similar to the moment when the sea waves draw in.

Likewise, the moment everyone saw her,

they took a breath and became

speechless.

You definitely won't forget her once you

have seen her —— a girl with such

appearance was standing at the entrance

of the Ashforld Magic Academy ceremony

hall.

Her golden-blonde hair came down to her

hips, her skin, as white as snow, looked

pale, and her Azure-colored eyes certainly

made it obvious that she was a noble

princess.

Tatsuya felt that her appearance is giving

off the feeling that she was an illusion.

Despite the multiple stares, Alice couldn't catch a single expression cross

her dignified face.

That golden haired girl, every move of

hers was attracting attention —

*ring*.... walked forward as the bell rang.

Step.... step....

In a situation where the

sound of her shoes echoed within the

quiet atmosphere, while furthermore

having everyone stare at her, her actions

and demeanor made him feel as if he was

watching a scene from a film. This girl

was walking forward with complete

disregard for the countless stares, fixed

on every move of hers.

Royal Princess — Alice Farenhert Victoria

She walked towards Tatsuya and when she sat down beside him from his position, the chain of silence was finally broken, and chatter could be heard,mixed with some sighs of relief.

"Well, you are dealing with the Princess,

after all.”

Hearing that comment, Tatsuya turned to

his side.

From his side a young man with lean facial

features said this with a sigh. Then—

"………… Hey, are you the rumored

“greenie Knight”?”

"Were you perhaps talking to me?"

Hearing that question, Tatsuya squinted his

eyes.

"……Sorry, if I made you upset.”

The young man immediately apologized

and that made Tatsuya relax a little.

"Hehe, looks like you are the type of

person who can talk normally."

"Huh?"

"You had a frown on your face this whole

time. So I, who am sitting beside you,

wanted to do something about this

awkward atmosphere."

"Ah…… I’m sorry. I was just concerned

about something."

"And you are telling me that your

concerns weren't a serious issue

compared to that beautiful princess from

our country?"

"Haha, looks like it."

Tatsuya ended up making a bitter smile to

his comment, which the young man made

while putting on a meaningful smile.

The young man extended his right hand

while asking him that.

Tatsuya grasped the young man's hand,

which he shook vigorously.

“My name is Tatsuya Shibuya, let’s get

along.”

"My name is Luke Valentine. We’ll

become roommates so let’s get along,Tatsuya."

"Classmates...you mean?"

"Yep. I'm here to become The Knight."

Luke seemed to be quite the candid

young man.

Though it wasn't immediately obvious

while he was sitting, he ought to be a full

head taller than Tatsiya. His attitude

seemed rather childlike, but both his

expression and his stature spoke of his

maturity.

"Anyway, I'm glad my Classmate is an

interesting one."

"...I'm a pretty ordinary person, you

know?"

"What're you talking about? You’re are the one who defeated Isrel Vermod without using your Varifal?

"Varifal? Whats that!?

"Are you serious ? You dont even know about it ? Its your weapon which represents your pride as Knight."

"Oh! Sorry I'm new to this Academy so dont know Much About it , Sorry for making you explaining things to me.."

"There's no need for false modesty here."

When Tatsuya was having this discussion

with Luke, they heard the sound of the

speaker being turned on.

"Ah, looks like the entrance ceremony will

begin."

Soon after, the sound of the some microphone could be heard.

test,

— [Ah……test, test] — echoed through the

auditorium.

[Everyone, silence. We will be starting the

entrance ceremony shortly. I,

Albert, will be in charge of the

ceremony.]

[Silence]

— A man, who’s wearing glasses, in his

late 20's, whom they assuming is a

professor, said again while standing on

the stage and the noise within the

auditorium settled down.

[The opening ceremony for the Knights & Mages of Ashforld Magic Academy

will now commence. First, the director of

our academy will be giving her words to

all of you, the new students.]

The next moment the ceremony began.

Tatsuya saw a familiar person wearing a

tight-fitting vestment with a black robe

walking up to the stage.

(… Just like our first meeting…)

Without a doubt, the person on stage is

the woman Alice Grandmother.

[Welcome to Ashforld Magic Academy, I

am the director, Elizabeth Victoria .]

Then, just like that, it seemed like the

director’s speech was about to end for

this entrance ceremony.

From the director who was acting

magnificently while giving her very long

speech, she was about to end the

ceremony with a voice which gave

everyone chills.

[All of you would be acquiring different

kind of techniques and knowledge within

this Ashforld Magic Academy. But please

remember that all of these are to make all

of you go even higher. That will serve as

the Academys policy, which would be

absolute. ……Lastly, I will end this

ceremony by sending this word to you

all.]

The director stopped her speech there,

and looked around the new students—

—and she spoke that words again.

[The path you choose to Guide your life to be righteous path]

"Huh……?"

"What's wrong, Tatsuya?"

"No, it’s nothing…”

**********************

The opening ceremony of the director has

ended, leaving Tatsuya a nostalgic feeling.

(That last line— I think I heard that

before…)

Albert turns on his microphone.

"Thank you very much, Director. ...let's

proceed with the greeting of the freshmen

representative––"

"Look, she's coming out! The beautiful

princess!"

(I see. She's the representative who does

the greeting since she's also the top

student.)

(I see. She's the representative who does

the greeting since she's also the top

student.)

It's started to interest even me, so I look

around in order to find her.

"The representative of the freshmen––

Alice Victoria."

"Yes."

She mounts the platform with more

elegance than anyone else. She already

has a great presence, being the

princess of the royal family.

The students get noisy just by her looking

at her.

Alice lets her glance wander about,

standing at the platform. Her glance meets

Tatsuya. Then she winks and sends a cute Smile with her adorable looks.

Tatsuya got easily charmed by her Actions completely and paralyzed.

Alice begins her speech without

releasing me from her gaze. Even the

noisy students get silent upon hearing her

imposing voice.

"Isn't she somehow constantly looking

over here? Haha, looks like she’s likes you."

Luke cracks jokes, but Tatsuya was so

absorbed by Alice's gaze that he can't even respond.

He’s only looking at Alice.

Alice is only looking at him.

"––I conclude the greeting of the

freshmen. This was the representative of

the freshmen, Alice Victoria."

Alice alights the platform.

And right after doing so, the students

became noisy again. No, not only the

students, even the professors are in

confusion.

But Alice, without a doubt, the most

confused. Because Alice doesn't return to her Another place, but heads towards him.

The students automatically make room in

the direction of her movement, impressed by her authority.

This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.

Alice takes advantage of this and heads

to Tatsuya, straight ahead.

The path from her leading to him

(Aah, geez. Has she gotten some grudge over me? It might be okay to have no

reservation in your own castle, but it

doesn't work like that here, does it?)

He already realized that his simple student

life, which is already destroyed because of recent incident and now this issue everythin's going to get destroyed.

"Haha––"

But he laughed, nevertheless.

"Haha––"

But he laughed, nevertheless.

(It's a real bother.)

(It's a real bother, but no... It just doesn't

feel like one.)

At last, the students in front of Tatsuya

move aside. Luke moves away from him,

too. They are surrounded by empty room

almost like the eye of the cyclone.

In the midst of the gaping wide space,

Alice is standing in front of him.

He never thought that she will do this.

(But thinking about it, this is her grandmother's plan.)

(After all, she said that I cant reveal anything about my real world and summoning,what she’s planning.)

Alice smiles.

She opens her mouth easily.

"Good day to you…”

After having said so, she introduced

herself once again.

"I am Alice Victoria, Pleased to meet

you."

The princess bows very deeply to him.

Therefore, Tatsuya introduced himself in

return.

“My Name is Tatsuya Shibuya, Like wise.”

Then Luke starts to applaud without

knowing the situation. Pulled in by him,

someone else starts applauding. Although

nobody knows what happens, the

applause grows louder.

In the middle of this magnificent applause,

Alice raises her face.

But she's not smiling anymore.

She's clenching her fist strongly and

looking straight at him in an imposing

manner.

“—In the name of the Royal Family of

Victoria, I, Alice Farenhert Victoria hereby appoints you, Tatsuya Shibuya, as my contract knight Will you accept it"

.

Few Hours before The Ceremony

.

.

The Tall building which looked like Hall ,

Two figures were walking towards it who were none other than Tatsuya and Alice was wraping her hand into Tatsuya hand.

Tatsuya who was walking beside her towards the ceremony hall was feeling uncomfortable not because of she was holding his hands , some soft sensation can be felt to tatsuya,Alice who was clinging too much to tasuya her breasts were poundering to his hands which was a feeling which making his heartbeat increase with nervesness.

"Alice aren't you clinging too much too me..."hmm....what are talking about isnt it common for the master be close to her Knight."

" Is that so!?"

"Alice there is something on your face.."

"What?..... What is it?"

"Stay still looks the sweet you ate a little while ago....."

Tatsuya who lied about sweet on her face,started to move his face towards her,

His eyes her met her,Her eyes met his while they were looking at each other , tatsuya who was trying to tease her lost in his thoughts looking at her Her golden-blonde hair which was floting down to her hips, her skin, as white as snow, looked pale, and her Azure-colored eyes which can captivate one's heart.

"Alice.."

"hmm ..."

"Can I?"

"hmm"

When they were lost in their own world ,

Tatsuya who was bringing his lips towards her,their lips which were drewing each other

"ahemmmm...."

Tatsuya who regained his senses took a few back and looked back at the figure who was standing still lije she was waiting for ending.

The figure who looked like mid 40's was unfamiliar to Tatsuya who just came to this world but on the othe hand Alice eyes were wide opened like she saw one's some ghost.

"Grandmother? Is that you"

said Alex who still not regained her senses yet.

"Come to my office, We will talk about it there"

Tatsuya who was standing like doll was lost in his thoughts just now what was i trying to do " Realizing their scene just now made Alice to turn red,her face,ears were turning bit by bit red but as her Grandmother face came to her view she regained her senses and took tatsuya with her.

◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊

"Grandmother! when did you came back?

asked alice who still looked disbelief.

"More importantly what was that about.?"

"What are you talking about?"

"nothing .....lets get back to the topic , who was that boy with you?'

"hmm..?"

Alice who used ritual to summon Tatsuya , was not known by others even she did not told her grandmother until now but as she did not want to lie to her beloved grandmother she said

"He is my Knight.."

" Knight..ahh.

.

.

What......when did you made contract with him and whose house does he belong to."

by sudden confession of her grand daughter

she made a disbelief questions

" I used the ritual to summon him.."

___silence____

___silence____

Now There is no reply from both sides

Tatsuya who now bystander was hearing their conversation like it does not involve him.

"So when did you summon him?

"hmm..its been 3 days probably"

The oldlady who was talking with Alice and turned her face towards Tatsuya who was standing still.

"So boy what is your name ?"

asked the old lady

"I'm, no, My name is Tatsuya Shibuya, Nice to meet you."

The eyes of the old lady went wide with surprise, after which, she nodded meaningfully.

"Nice to meet you Tatsuya-kun , My name is Elizabeth Victoria as you already heard I'm her grandmother."

hearing that he nodded.

"Now , Alice why didn't you waited for me Untill I Return ..."

" Because.....I Wanted to summon my Knight"

"Thers are already many Knights from noble houses who wanted to serve you"

said Elizabeth *sighing*

"I dont want them.... I wanted to meet Great Knight you used to tell me about, when I was Child. "

"This girl ...do you understand what did you do?"

_____Leave about that now.

"Now do what I told you Alice,do you hear me?" Alice nodded

"First Tatsuya-kun, you must never reveal about your about identity that you are from abother world.

Second , During ceremony speech Alice will apppoint you as her Knight when everyone is present"

Hearing this both Alice and Tatsuya became shocked , However Tatsuya who has cautious personality regained his senses and asked

"I understand about the cirumstances about not to reveal my Identity From another world. But why do you want Alice to appoint me as her Knight in front of eveyone." suddenly asked by Tatsuya who was little intelligent for his age ,Elizabeth was surprised and said

"How much do you know about this world?"

"Nothing.."

"If I say, this world is same as yours yet not the same what will you do"

"What do you mean by same yet not the same?" asked tatsuya who had not understood the situation

"The World You lived is the same as this world but think this as paralllel world."

"Parallel world ?"

"Yes! Parallel world which is same yet not the same...."

Hearing all this nonsense Tatsuya was getting little bit consfused but decided to hear her explainations.

"And your ans about second question ___I will explain when the time comes..."

After speaking with tatsuya , Elizabeth turned towards Alice who was lost in her own world decided to punish her a bit as time passing for the ceremony she decided not to and said

"Alice First of all congratutions for becoming Student Representative of first year in this academy and same goes for you , dont say anything about tatsuya to any one even to your friends." she nodded.

Then She told them to go back to ceremony hall.

After Tatsuya and Alice left the room Elizabeth was alone and staring at the empty space.

Infront of tatsuya Alice who looked with some determination in her eyes in reflect Tatsuya replied without wasting a bit of Time
