"Galadia Vilanoi, daughter of the Canaanite consul Ferreras Vilanoi. ”

Canaan is the land of elves.

The waiter's brief and astonishing introduction almost startled Griffith to roll down the tall staircase. He only knew that Galadia's identity was extraordinary, but he didn't expect that she was the daughter of the current ruler of the Elven Kingdom.

It's not normal to not encounter attacks and assassinations along the way!Griffith didn't even believe that he had come to Bayeran.

The high-ranking guests who had already finished dancing the song turned their surprised and respectful eyes to Galadia on the steps of the second floor. Even if it was such a simple announcement, everyone present knew what a noble status the elf girl on the steps was.

Griffith, who was holding his arm by Galadia, felt like he was being caught in flames by a spear-throwing gaze. Almost no one in the ball hall knew who he was, but just looking at the light blue ribbon on the neckline, you could guess the rank of cadet and non-commissioned officer. Becoming the dance partner of this daughter next to him is no longer inappropriate and rude, it is simply appalling. Griffith felt like he was going to be sprayed all over by the social world soon.

Wait a minute...... So what!?

The second-level squad leader suddenly found that nine out of ten of the people present had no intersection with him, and even the lowest-ranking guests were much more noble than him. It would be absurd for these nobles to keep their eyes on Griffith for too long.

Thinking about this, Griffith suddenly relaxed. He maintained proper etiquette, escorting the daughter of the elven family to the middle of the dance floor as if he were attacking a fortress.

The next song begins. Miss Sonia, who was in the spotlight, suddenly found that her gaze was half missing. Ninety percent of them were cast on Galadia, and the remaining one percent was still persistently burning Griffith with his sight.

"It's okay...... Galadia forced a smile in her watery eyes, "you haven't stepped on me so far." ”

She was close to the midshipman, obediently letting him put his hand on her waist.

The curves of the elves are simply amazing...... Griffith was almost unable to hold on halfway through this fortress raid, and he whispered with the corners of his mouth twisted, "It was too dangerous for you to venture in the wilderness like that before. ”

"Tsk, you're all roasted on the fire and still care about this," the corners of Galadia's mouth couldn't help but curl, "You know what? Even if I'm rolling on the floor now, or pulling you to dance on the table, what can everyone do to me?

"Or denigrate me where I don't care about being out of sight?

"That's what I'm going to do!"

The apprentice knight listened to his dancing partner and was speechless.

"Well, why do we have to stick to the rules set by others and succumb to the tyrant of 'social etiquette,'" said Galadia briskly, "and everyone has become a puppet of a monster called 'decent', deprived of self and smug." As a free soul, shouldn't I choose my partner and lifestyle according to my heart?"

Sounds so plausible. Griffith couldn't help but nod his head frequently.

Looking at his stupid appearance, Galadia was a little apologetic: "However, my casualness also has a limit, and I will still serve as my other identity for a while." Are you going to do it alone?"

"I once rolled into a ditch and drank muddy water mixed with blood for four or five hours," Griffith didn't mind, "and there was cool peach juice on the table here." ”

......

Griffith's honor lasted only until the end of the dance, and he was relieved from the burden of death. In the days that followed, Galadia was introduced to the dignitaries in the company of the elven ambassador to Bayeran, and Griffith was squeezed into a corner like a disgusted sheep on the farm.

After all, as far as his identity is concerned, even if the people present are interested in him, it will be difficult to deal with it in the current situation.

Galadia glanced apologetically at her companion from afar, but this time she was really too busy. No matter how casual she is, she can't leave behind the great nobles of the human race who were brought by the elven ambassador and go to play with a young man who is neither a fiancé nor a boyfriend for a night.

As a result, Griffith was left alone in the corner.

But he didn't feel anything bad.

Long tables are placed on the edge of the hall. Layers of chocolate cake, waffles, tiramisu, pudding, yogurt ice cream, and a host of foods Griffith didn't recognize, the delicate silver pallets undulated like snowy peaks in the Far East.

The colourful desserts are like a rainbow on a sea of silver, and in the eyes of the midshipman, they are more charming than the most beautiful people at the ball.

Hold on! Hold on!

Griffith resisted the urge to take the whole silver platter away, and ate the plate of desserts at what he thought was a slow pace.

"You like desserts?" an unfamiliar voice rang out behind Griffith.

The midshipman was startled and almost choked on the cake in his mouth.

"I'm Ishus, Ishus de Clozer, the current Viscount Crozere, and a bunch of titles, you know, just call me Theseus," Griffith was accosted by a thin, silver-haired boy, about sixteen or seventeen years old, "I had the privilege of enrolling with Miss Sonia this fall. ”

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Lord Viscount," Griffith hurriedly put down the cake in his hand and saluted the young viscount, "may I have anything to serve you?"

"Don't be so polite, call me Ishus," the minor viscount waved his hand, "I don't like this kind of ball, but I have to attend." You've just returned from the East?"

"Yes. ”

"How's it going there?" Ishius looked at Griffith with a curious gaze, "I also have a Shultolar who will join me in school, and they are said to have spent some time celebrating their victory and have not yet arrived in Bayeran. I don't have a place to ask questions!"

"If it's a question I can answer, I'll do my best to answer it," Griffith nodded toward the Viscount's eldest son. The two of them walked towards the window together.

"That's wonderful," Ishus took two cocktails from the waiter's hand and handed Griffith one, "I've heard that in the Eastern Theater, armored cavalry is used intensively to launch a cluster assault on the enemy. I'm so curious. ”

"It's open enough to stretch out cavalry formations," Griffith nodded.

"What a magnificent picture that would be!" said Ishus, with a look of admiration, "but many people say it's heretical. The theory I heard before was that in order to give full play to the combat power and defense of the armored cavalry, it was necessary for a strong man of the Grand Knight level to wear enchanted heavy armor and lead a team of servants and infantry to attack, tearing apart the enemy's defenses little by little from all directions.

"It's true, after all, the Great Knights are highly skilled in martial arts, and can use many powerful extraordinary abilities," Griffith said, "but their numbers are ......"

"Knight orthodoxy in the center!" Theseus pulled a picture scroll from his bosom as if by juggling, "Look at it, this silver sheen, charming lines and mighty spear!"

With admiration and longing on his face, the viscount caressed the heroic male heavy knight in the picture book. It was Tiberius, the well-known Knight of Judgment. Griffith suddenly felt a little frightened, and almost took a step back.

"You admire Tiberius?"

"Who cares about that skin!" exclaimed Theseus, "look at the armor and waistcoat, the spear and the shield. This is the embodiment of beauty, order, and power. ”

"Well, it's fascinating," Griffith nodded, "but it's too heavy, and the maneuverability will be very limited." I've heard that this set of knight leads, the tactics of infantry followers came from the elves. They can't carry out a large-scale assault in the forest. ”

The elven kingdom has been plagued by guerrilla warfare from the northern trolls, which has led to the evolution of unique squad coordination tactics...... Griffith remembered Mr. Heinz's point. The commander of the armored cavalry has attacked the elves more than once in the past for "fighting law and order warfare, and knows nothing about regular warfare."

However, the teacher's view is not universally accepted. After all, human cavalry technology, like magic, comes from the teachings of elves, leaving a deep imprint on the tactical inheritance. The tactics of leading infantry assaults with powerful knights or other strong men were indeed very effective on some battlefields, compared to the cavalry tactics of the East.

The more Iseus spoke, the more excited he became: "The kind of assault in the East that uses trainee knights and low-level cavalry of the rank of subordinate to form a large assault is simply heresy! The core of the war should be such a mighty knight!"

"Theseus, are you promoting your boring hobby again?" a beautiful girl with long blond hair and waist-length walked over and interrupted the excited Viscount.

"Boring, you women accustomed to peace won't understand!" said Iseus, who shot back at once, but still out of culture and politeness, "this is Miss Fiona de Charlon, and her Secoloral is still on her way from the east. Fiona, this is Griffith, the apprentice knight of the Lamor family. We will enroll together this fall. ”

He is also a noble heir who owns a Sultoral. Griffith immediately saluted the beautiful noble lady.

"Hello, Cadet Knight," said the graceful and beautiful Miss Fiona, picking up the hem of her skirt, and returning a curtsy to Griffith that made him very happy.

She is as beautiful as Sonya, but she doesn't have that soft and submissive seductive temperament. The pale long blonde hair hung down on the slender and straight waist, and the delicate long skirt and shining gems could not hide the heroism and vitality in the eyes.

The moment his eyes met her, Griffith felt a touch of inspiration. Unlike the others, Fiona's aura seemed to intertwine with different qualities, but he couldn't make out it.

"Mr. Knight-Trainee, I noticed that you seem to be familiar with the elf lady. Fiona asked in a casual tone, as if she was just asking, not caring at all.

"Yes, Miss Charlon. When I returned from the East, a group of goblins attacked the village," Griffith said, "Galadia joined us to repel and destroy the monsters......

As Griffith popped out of his mouth word by word, he noticed that Fiona's eyes grew brighter and brighter, and finally sparkled like a starry sky.

The beautiful Ranger meets the brave young knight during his adventures...... Fiona was already immersed in fantasy. She looked at Griffith with eyes that could be misunderstood by Ishus, and said to herself, "If you look closely, this apprentice knight is also quite good-looking." Must be a brave and reliable companion in adventures!When will I have my own adventure story!"

On the other side of the ball, Sonia was surrounded by a large crowd. Whether at home or at social events, she has become accustomed to being the center of attention, and she is used to being bored.

Tonight was different, though, and Sonia was shocked that Galadia would choose a trainee knight to dance with, and she thought she couldn't do it.

The daughter of the Lamor family wandered for a moment surrounded by many friends, and suddenly remembered something. She wanted to get out of the crowd but couldn't, so she beckoned to one of her vassals and asked him to bring the apprentice knight over.

Griffith immediately came to Sonya's side. Sonia asked him curiously, "How did you meet Miss Galadia?"

"On my way back from the Eastern Battlefield, I passed through a small village. There was a goblin attack, and Galadia and I ......"

Griffith repeated what he had just said, but he got stuck in the middle of his sentence. He found that the sapphire eyes of the blonde girl in front of him suddenly radiated brilliant brilliance, and the boredom that had just been looming had been swept away.

The adventure of the knight and the elves, the distant and dangerous wilderness, isn't this the story in the book! Sonia was almost on tiptoe, she grabbed the apprentice knight's arm, and her big blue eyes flashed: "And then then!"

......

For the first time, Sonia found out that prom time passed so quickly. Griffith's little adventures fascinate her, and Theseus and Fiona, who had already known her well, joined in.

When Griffith talks about how to repel the goblins' attack on the village, the next dance begins. Sonia restrained herself with great perseverance, so that she did not temporarily change her dance partner from a baron to a cadet knight. The poor baron managed to get this opportunity, and Sonia spent the whole dance thinking about finishing it quickly so that she could go back to the story.

Halfway through the ball, tired guests dispersed in groups. The boy and girl who were going to start school in the fall had a couch to themselves, and they chatted there.

"I've got a Shotolar on the way, and I'll be there soon," said Ishus, one of the members of Sonya's coterie, "plus Griffith and Fiona, you're enough." ”

What are they talking about...... Griffith, who was passing by the couch for dessert, couldn't help but prick up his ears. Galadia had already been taken away by her people, and she didn't even have time to say hello to him.

"Is it really possible?" Fiona was a little unsure, "let's bring the family guards." ”

"Then we'll be told as soon as possible, don't you know who is paying the guards? They only obey your parents and my guardians. Ishus said with a frown.

"But it's not the same for Sultoral," the silver-haired Ishus tapped his fingers on the armrest of the couch, "they've just arrived, and they're not familiar with everything. As long as we make a request for confidentiality, they will agree. ”

"I agree," Sonia nodded, "this is our last chance before we start school in September! ”

Doesn't sound like a mysterious thing~ Griffith took a few steps back to the cake table.

"Griffith, we need your help!" Sonya's melodious voice had already stopped the apprentice knight with irresistible magic, "Keep it a secret!"
