Episode 60
Family breakfast time.
On one wall hung portraits, and on the other wall was drawn a family tree.
And at the long dining table positioned in the center, Declan was eating alone at the very end.
The other family members were gathered together chatting. Even Karhen, who wasn’t family.
“Have you been in good health since yesterday, Father?”
“What?”
“Do you not know about inquiring after one’s health since yesterday?”
Was it since yesterday?
Airi, Karhen, and even Serafin were all said to be learning etiquette from Milligan.
So they were putting more effort into etiquette than usual.
But no matter how he thought about it, there was a problem with this etiquette.
“Is that the correct expression?”
Unlike Declan who was at a loss for words, Milligan looked very proud.
“Of course! It’s the correct expression. You’re doing so well. So smart indeed.”
Watching the two people suddenly reading ancient texts related to etiquette, Declan muttered reluctantly.
“What exactly are you teaching my daughter right now?”
“As you can see, I’m teaching etiquette from 200 years ago, am I not?”
From the side, Serafin’s quiet muttering could be heard.
“Wow, that sounds really impressive? Good health since yesterday? I should memorize that too.”
“I’m memorizing it as well.”
“Wow, damn. I absolutely can’t lose. Good health! Come here!”
The only normal person here, Declan’s neck stiffened.
Airi was excitedly shouting ‘I would like to hear about the 22nd generation ancestor’s achievements!’
Serafin was chattering enthusiastically while creating strange etiquette, and Karhen was carefully writing down that strange etiquette in his notebook.
A disaster had occurred.
Declan had a premonition that a different kind of plague would spread through the Northern Region.
“Come to think of it, Declan, your mother and the White Knight Order are returning.”
“Oh, how nice for Father.”
The above words were spoken by Milligan, and the below words were spoken by Airi.
Declan put down his spoon with an incredulous expression.
His appetite was instantly disappearing.

Meanwhile, news that a great Summoned Beast had appeared to protect the Northern Region’s waters was also reported to the Imperial Palace.
Since the waters would now be stably protected from monsters, the Imperial Palace was in a festive mood.
But even there, there was someone who cast a dark atmosphere.
After the first court meeting that the Emperor did not attend had ended.
It was Count Iaros, who was alone observing the situation.
A person who had been a faithful court scribe but caught the Emperor’s eye and was granted a title.
Count Iaros, recently called one of the Emperor’s closest associates.
He was looking around while gripping his pen holder.
Seeming puzzled by his somehow anxious expression, other nobles around called his name.
“Count Iaros.”
“…”
“Count Iaros?”
“Ah, yes. What is it?”
Seeing his dark complexion when he usually smiled genially, the other nobles asked.
“Why do you keep making that expression? On such a joyful day.”
“No. I’m just feeling a bit unwell.”
After showing a perfunctory smile, he thought.
‘How did this happen? A powerful Summoned Beast shouldn’t appear in the Northern Region. That’s impossible!’
Iaros secretly bit his lips tightly while recalling his conversation with ‘That Person’.
“An unexpectedly useless miracle has occurred in the Northern Region.”
Iaros’s master, ‘That Person’, always wore a mask.
He recited in his usual emotionless voice.
“Playing some appropriate pranks wouldn’t be bad either. Don’t you think?”
The pranks he spoke of were never simple.
They were matters that would determine one person’s life, and determine the lives of the Northern Region’s people.
But to the masked figure, they were merely pranks at best.
Even human birth, aging, sickness, death, and all of life’s joys and sorrows were the same.
“It seems an interesting toy has appeared.”
Seeing his eerie smile, Iaros, prostrated on the floor, opened his mouth.
“…Please use me according to your will.”
The great ‘That Person’ is perfect.
He himself was wrong.
Iaros’s lips hardened coldly.
