Still Loved Even In The New World
CHAPTER 170: Stick.

Filia:"Looks like your body has recovered."

Khaim:"I, yes. Thanks for the help."

Sally:"No problem. Oh, for what I said earlier, let's talk about it."

Khaim:"B, really?!."

Filia:"Sure."

I was too excited and subconsciously raised the tone of my voice. When I thought there would be an expression of contempt on her face, she answered me with a smile. I've often gotten scornful and insulting expressions from other noble children, but I didn't expect, he would make such an expression when responding to me . He was very different from the noble son I usually met.

Filia:"Sit down."

Liris:"But Your Majesty..."

Filia:"It's okay, I invite you to tea, so you can sit down and have tea with me."

I hesitated a little, but at Miss Filia's insistence, I could only sit awkwardly. It was a bit uncomfortable for me to sit in this place, after all it was just me being a commoner myself. Stern is also a commoner, but he has been acknowledged to be Rosenfield's apprentice knight, so I'm the only stranger at this table.

Filia:"Ilma."

A maid standing behind Miss Filia nodded and went to call the cafeteria maid. Shortly after, he returned with a female servant.

Nima:"Your order, miss."

Filia:"Message as usual."

Nima:"I understand."

Hearing how Miss Filia ordered, she seemed to order the same things often when she came here. Moreover, Miss Filia seemed to be familiar with the maid. It was rare for a noble to notice a lowly servant in the cafeteria, this proved that Miss Filia was completely different from the other noble children and she was also easier to approach.

Nima:"And for the others?."

Liris:"Together with His Majesty."

Stern:"S, I am also."

Khaim:"S, I'm the same."

Nima:"Well then. Please wait a minute."

I saw Miss Filia close the book she had read and then it suddenly disappeared from her hands. Space magic?. Space magic is a top-tier magic that is very difficult to learn. Moreover, there were no books or records that could explain what space magic was about. If one wanted to learn space magic, then he needed to become an apprentice magician and be taught directly by space magic users.

It seemed like rumors that he was a low-level first-year student who could defeat expert magicians, and in fact, some were saying that his abilities were on par with those of a palace mage, it seemed like the rumors were true.

With that ability, he already did not need an education in the academy. I still wonder why he still wants to be in this academy.

Filia:"What do you think is a knight?."

Suddenly he asked me. This question was too sudden to make me unprepared to answer. My mind went blank for a moment when the question was asked.

Khaim:"Gee.. I, that. The knight is a brave man strong with a sword."

Hearing my original impressed reply, he only slightly smiled and turned his attention to miss Liris and Stern who were sitting quietly watching us.

Philia:"What do you think the two of you are, knights?."

Perhaps because my answer was unsatisfactory, he threw the question to Miss Liris and Stern. The two of them slightly pondered the answer to Miss Filia's question.

Liris:"The knight is the one who has the ability and confidence to carry out his duties."

Stern:"M, in my opinion. A knight is one who can be trusted and loyal to his master. They'll be willing to sacrifice everything for the master."

Filia:"Good answer. But, that's not true."

Nima:"Please."

The waiter came with a pot of white porcelain tea and five glasses of dark tea. The steaming smoke from the cup carried the refreshing aroma of tea. From the aroma, I knew that it was not a cheap type of tea leaf.

Before miss Filia took the teacup, the waiter who always stood behind her came forward and took one of the tea cups. Sia inhaled the aroma and tasted the tea. After he tasted the tea, he wiped his lips with a white handkerchief and stood still again. After about five-three minutes, the servant nodded towards Miss Filia.

Is not a servant who precedes his master while eating or drinking an act of disrespect?. What exactly happened?.

Gaining the approval of her servant, Miss Filia took one of the cups and began to enjoy it after she inhaled the soothing aroma of the tea.

After drinking the tea, her pink and soft lips resembled the petals of a plum blossom in spring slightly raised with a light smile. He put down the cup and looked at us.

Philia:"The knight is not a strong man, the knight is not a believer, the knight is not the most faithful or the bravest man, but the Knight is the one who tries to be it all. They are the ones who work hard to be the people that others hope to be. But, even though your answer is wrong, but I also can't say that your answer is completely wrong. After all, everyone had their own understanding of what a knight was."

Knights are not strong people, knights are not trustworthy people, knights are not the most loyal or the bravest, but knights are the ones who strive to achieve it all. For some reason, those words seemed to give me a new spirit.

I am not a strong person, nor am I a talented person. But as long as I keep trying hard to achieve it all, can I also be called a knight?!.

Lyric:"So it's like that. I seem to understand something."

Miss Liris' eyes became sparkling and bright. Miss Filia looked at Miss Liris' behavior with a smile and drank the tea she had in her cup. The feeling that Miss Filia is giving right now is not the feeling that a girl of my age can give, but the feeling she gave off was more towards an adult female instructor who had seen the world.

Philia:"It's good if you understand it. Perhaps you are still far from the word knight, but as long as you work hard enough, you will reach for the word one day. So, don't worry about those things, you just need to practice well."

Don't worry about getting stronger, I just need to try my best. That's what he meant. Don't worry, yeah, I don't have to worry anymore.

Filia:"And for you..."

Miss Filia looked at me. He seemed to want to say something about me.

Filia:"For all this time you practice diligently, but every time you practice, your heart and mind are always so overwhelmed with worry that you miss your understanding of what you are training. That's why your ability is growing so slowly. And also, I have to say that you have no talent in swordsmanship..."

Khaim:"A, I know. T, but..."

But what can I do. I know that I am not talented in swordsmanship, but for the sake of being a knight, I must continue to learn the sword.

Philia:"But you can't do anything, can you?!. I know, but no matter how hard you practice the sword, without talent, you will not be able to master it. It's like a barrier you can't go through to keep going."

It really hurts. Is all my efforts in this salama in vain?!. Talent, is talent so cruel as to throw a person like me?.

Khaim:"Then, what can I do?!."

I asked Miss Filia. Hearing my question, he smiled and seemed to have been expecting my question.

Khaim:"Other talent?."

Miss Filia didn't answer me. Suddenly on his palm appeared a perfectly straight wooden stick with a diameter of about two centimeters and a length of about two meters. Miss Filia looked at the wand for a moment before handing it to me.

I reached out in confusion and took over the stick.

Uhh... Bang...!.

Far from my guess, it turns out this stick is quite heavy. Since I used one hand to grab it, my hand was shocked and dropped the stick on the table causing a very loud noise.

The tea cup and teapot on the table were shocked and became a mess with the contents. But before the tea and cup were completely messy or fell to the floor, the tea and cup floated in the air. I saw Miss Filia slightly swinging her arm and the tea that floated in the air immediately returned into the cup like nothing had happened.

Khaim:"M, forgive me..."

I realized this time I was causing trouble. It's so embarrassing, let alone that many of the people eating in the cafeteria turned their attention to me with some people showing contemptuous eyes.

Filia:"Don't worry."

With a wave of his hand, the stick flew towards me. I immediately hugged the stick so as not to fall.

Philia:"The wand was made of white iron rattan. The stick was pliable and extremely strong, weighing about ten kilograms. From now on, you will practice to use the stick. Every day, try to swing the stick a hundred times and rest. If you feel used to it, then swing it a thousand times. After three months, I will teach you the technique of fighting using a stick."

Khaim:"Really?!."

Sally: "I don't have to lie to you."

Khaim:"K, then_"

Filia:"You don't have to practice now. You better train tomorrow when your body is at its best. You will come to the arena tomorrow and train with Liris and Stern."

Khaim:"Understand."

After this, we talked about training and many other things while enjoying tea to the last steeping of tea.

Filia:"Oh right, Nima, what about the tea this winter?."

Miss Filia asked the waiter about the tea while the waiter was tidying the teapot and cup on the table.

Nima:"In a winter like this, it is impossible to harvest tea. And again with the humid air in winter, tea will easily moldy, but after I do as you say, the supply of tea harvested before winter can be stored properly, he said, so no stock issues for now."

Filia:"That's great. Oh, and also I want you to add the delivery of black and white tea to the Lounge."

Nima:"I understand."

I wonder what they're talking about. But after I found out, I was surprised that Miss Filia opened a lounge that anyone could visit. What's more, I learned that there were many unique foods in that place that couldn't be found anywhere else.

I heard the name Chocolate House from the noble boy who often talked about the place. They are very proud that they once went in and enjoyed a delicious unique meal at the place. When I heard them talk about it, I could only imagine what kind of food even the nobles would find delicious.

It was one of the most famous places in the capital recently. Who would have guessed that the place turned out to be the private property of Miss Filia.

Filia:"If you're interested maybe we can go there tomorrow. I'll tell my people there that I'll come."

"Are we invited?."

Suddenly I heard a voice behind me. As I turned my head, there was a boy with golden hair smiling kindly as he stepped towards us. Beside him was a little girl who looked a little shy along with a few servants who followed.

Khaim:"P, prince?!!."

Philia:"Prince Elion, Princess Sophia."

Lyric:"Prince, Princess."

Stern:"His Royal Highness the Prince, the Princess."

Khaim:"M, forgive my impoliteness."

Elion:"It's okay."

Only I was surprised. I saw that Miss Filia and the others just stood quietly and bowed to welcome the arrival of the prince and princess.

Elion:"Do I bother you?."

Phile:"Not at all. We're just talking about some common things, so there's no problem if you want to join this boring conversation."

Sophia:"N, miss Filia. I heard that you want to go to that place, can I come too?."

Filia:"Sure, but can't you go easily?."

Princess Sophia came up to us and held onto Miss Filia's sleeve while looking down and looking very shy. Miss Filia did not refuse the interaction, instead Miss Filia raised her hand to rub the head of Sophia's daughter.

If it was someone else, I'm sure that person would have already lost a hundred heads if he dared to do so. But there was no reaction from anyone else, as if it was a common thing.

Elion:"That's true, but in winter, it's almost impossible."

The prince said that in winter there will be many people who lose their livelihoods and the crime rate increases, so it is not safe to go to the city without a strict escort.

Elion: "It's not nice to go with a lot of bodyguards, but if I go with Miss Filia, then there's nothing to worry about."

Filia:"I am very honored by your trust, Your Majesty."

With that, Miss Filia decided that everyone should go to that brown house today. I didn't expect that I would be taken to that place either. But looking at this line, I felt inferior.

Miss Filia took out a furry coat for us one by one to endure the cold. In front of the academy was already parked a large horse carriage that could accommodate eight people.

The carriage became a center of attention in front of the academy until many students surrounded it. The entire carriage was silver-white with a strange bird emblem and a crescent moon behind it. The carriage was pulled by a beast like a white horse with beautiful wings.

This... Too much, isn't it?!.

I really wouldn't understand the luxury of a noble....
