Chapter 113 (1/2)

I finally left the evening party and e, and iht order Claudia was too eotten her promise to her father that she didn't join our discussion and was riding on another carriage instead, and Bellas here instead to have another person in the discussion

”What's this You forgot this issue about Claudia-dono? A mistake due to inexperience”

After I explained the situation to Earl Terejia, he seemed surprised for a h I did expect his disappointment, I'm still a bit embarrassed that I caused him to be disappointed in me

”Yes, ies”

”Eliza Taking care of nobles from other families is a serious responsibility It's important to know each person's circumstances Remember it well”

”I'll deeply engrave it into my ies”

Honestly, even if the Earl didn't tell e blunder Claudia had proht by the age of 20, that she would return hoht now I definitely do recall her telling o And yet, I still et it

I could feel the blood draining from my face so I lowered my head, and this time I noticed that Bellway seemed surprised as well Well, coree so unreliable Of course he would be surprised as well, I started feeling even more down

”Eliza-sama……”

Bellway uttered htly bitter tone of voice I couldn't help but raise retting the rift between us, the harsh things I've said to him before and how I've hurt him with my words

I've never apologized even once to him in the last three years And honestly, even now, I don't kno I should go about it

A momentary silence fell upon us Maybe Earl Terejia wanted to stop the aardness, he picked up the conversation again

”Please raise your head Anyways, we have to ht order immediately”

”……Yes”

”While I can apply for the establishht about the reason you'll give for needing one?”

”Yes I'll say that they're for protecting and being in charge of the new citizens, to help theet adjusted”

”……Mmm”

For personal knight orders, they are required to have ato their existence and have actual work to do The military's role is to maintain order and defend the territory, but they can't be in charge of the new citizens The soldiers in the army are also recruited from ordinary citizens, so their social status is equal to that of commoners

However, being knighted by a noble for their personal knight order will raise the rank and social status of the knight as well as confer noble status Meaning, knighting so people prohts to help do work that only nobles are allowed to do Only nobles with a rank of earl or higher can create knight orders though, so Earl Terejia will have to lend me his assistance

”To create a knight order, you need to have at least two qualified knights, though”

”Claudia and…… Teo”

The Earl seemed a little lost at who Teomer was, but I really couldn't think of anyone else as a candidate so I said Teo's name in the end, and as expected, the Earl's expression turned strict

”Teomer, eh ……But, it'll be for the best if you don't use a foreigner to help create your knight order”

”As I expected, it was like that”

”The House of Lords probably wouldn't approve of it”

Teoht order's establishe of the new citizens Well, he can be added as a later member with no proble et approved

”……Then, how about myself?”

Although a person can't be both a knight and the sahts are sworn to serve, technically speaking this knight order will be created to serve Earl Terejia, so on paper there should be no probleht as well Usually the doht order, but since h, I have to use the Earl's naher rank

As for the test to becoht etiquette, that is to say, knowledge of how to behave similar to and around nobles That's why nobles thehts Also, there's no restrictions on gender or age I think that I should be able to pass it as well
