The Knights of Eldania
The Origin of the Invitation
CKLEK.......
Entering his room, his hand just threw his hat on the sofa carelessly, then he continued by putting the letter and envelope on his mattress.
BRUKK....
He threw his body on the neat mattress.
Neat?.
His room was always neat because he himself tidied his own room.
The agreement she had made, the rules she had set, was not necessary to serve her like other noble ladies.
The servants in this palace, essentially not allowed a single person to enter his room without his permission.
All his needs will be handled by himself, that is the only rule, during his stay here, in the palace of the noble Archduke.
So it wouldn't burden them, the servants who didn't really like this presence.
[Try if there was a swimming pool.] That's the only thing that suddenly crossed his head.
When it is saturated like this, the right time is to be able to swim.
The only thing in the backyard is the lake. Who knows if there are creatures in it that are not dlayakny, or disgusting.
And it is not fitting to enjoy swimming in such a place. There is no beauty at all.
Toks......Tok........Toks.......
Until the sound of knocking on the door appeared, throwing away all his suppositions.
" It's me. "
From the sound of his voice, it was clear that the one who knocked on the door was the Archduke.
" Yes.just enter. " Dania immediately got up when the male lord of this palace started to open that door.
" What's up?. "he asked.
Archduke finally saw the appearance of this woman, different from the one before, now on his face looks like a person who has been frustrated about something.
The archduke went towards the sofa, put the hat on the table, and landed his buttocks on the couch he rarely sat on.
[Benefiting her feelings, she behaved like this because she had just lost her pet bird. From the outside, this woman is like an ordinary woman who acts strong, but. ]
That's the look in the Archduke's eyes.
The Archduke had interrogated Arhes, from which everything was revealed the origin of why Eldania had a slightly changed attitude.
" Do you need anything?. "
[Why did he ask for my needs? ] For his needs, nothing more than just living his life.
But what more need can he get when everything in this world is no more than an age that is left one dimension from his time, and what is only superior here is just magic.
Dania needed nothing more than what she had already gotten, which was her new life and this pretty comfortable place to live.
It's been fun, not paying money, but being able to live quite luxuriously, even though it looks like her mistress.
" I don't need anything else. "that's the answer. No less and no more.
" ...................."
Archduke thought again, it was obvious already, that this girl was indeed not a person who was so crazy treasure.
If it is gold, it is no different from the others.
But the difference is of course...
[He cannot be spoiled. ] The Archduke wanted someone to be able to act with him, but he was wrong.
This woman cannot be spoiled for him.
The reason was definitely not far from what he thought.
[What is it because from childhood has lived independently?.] That is the only reason, making this girl have this kind of nature.
The archduke sat with his legs crossed, then propped up his chin, while looking at this boy, his mind made to think harder than before.
After his return earlier, he (Archduke ) finally has a lot of free time, therefore being able to visit his room and chat is what he wants, he said, because it felt the distance between the two of them after declaring to raise Dania to be his adopted sister, stay at a distance like this - this continues, aka no change.
" What was the contents of the letter?. " The Archduke finally brought up the letter he got earlier.
" From his stamp, it is the stamp of the Lucrenzia family, which means unmistakably from the head of the satirical squad. "
Dania glanced at the letter she had thrown on the bed.
The capture of the Archduke was entirely correct, but when it came to its contents, it was actually quite a ludicrous thing to his heart.
So he spoke frankly to this man.
" If you look at the contents......" Dania took the letter, then gave it to the Archduke, so that he read it with his own two eyes.
" A request to come to the restaurant. Sounds like a date....."
" But it doesn't seem like it's for you. "
Archduke continued Dania's hanging words as he looked back at the contents of the letter.
Dania walked up to take her folded bathrobe on the nightstand, then sat on the edge of the mattress looking at the window, and added..
" There's no reason for Ishid to meet me personally like that, what else in the restaurant. The agreement I had with him was done, so it must have been a exchanged letter. "
A conclusion that caught the attention of the Archduke, it could hear a short and dense explanation in just a few tens of seconds.
" How can you be sure of that?. "
But the Archduke is still trying to ask for another explanation.
Dania laid her body back, then her head turned to where the Archduke was sitting, asking for a detailed answer?.
Of course he'll explain.
" So she's dating Yunifer, right?. In other words, there was indeed a letter to me, but it was sent to Yunifer's house. "
"...............! "
The Archduke was surprised, with just one letter like this, to be able to obtain such a reasonable explanation.
Though this woman, like fatigue wanted to sleep again, but her brain did continue to work without affecting her facial reaction.
" So now what are you going to do?. "
" I'm going to go. "
" To his residence Magnolia?. " The Archduke asked so it was possible that Dania would ask for the original letter, the original letter to Dania herself.
" No, I'm going to go to the restaurant. "he said again, pulling a bolster pillow and hugging it tightly.
" Walking to them both?. Wouldn't it be better to go to her house to ask for her letter?. " The Archduke is certainly confused by his decision.
If you go to a restaurant, it's tantamount to ruining both of their dates.
" I don't care about the letters, they're the wrong ones, so the ones responsible are yes they are. I went to a restaurant to do something. "
Dania is serious, the mistake of the sender of the letter, that's what they have to account for themselves.
It was used for lessons for them, if the owner of the letter did not get an answer or did not make the person he invited came.
All that happened was because it was the one who sent the letter.
Then the goal to the restaurant was because he also actually had an invitation that he got.
A special invitation anyway, he wouldn't miss it just like that.
******
A few hours ago......
After getting enough sleep, Dania went out of the park to go to the bookstore, or to the library.
His interest in reading the book was endless.
Raya..he was gone before he woke up.
[Maybe he was starving.] thought Dania, because it had been a sleeping pillow for about 1 hour.
Why know?, it was just a trivial thing because after Raya quietly went to escape, Dania fell back asleep.
After that....
Dania went to the bookstore to order a book, a special book that was still empty, but had been given a magic circle in it.
It was a book that he would use as his note, it could be said Diary?, but it did not contain a personal feeling.
After that, he went to the library.
The Muzelan Library was a place he had once visited with Claporth.
All knowledge always starts with a book, so it never hurts to read a book in that library again.
" Identity. "please ask this person, as his duty to know who the visitors who come in and out of Muzelan library.
"............! "
[I was given that necklace once.] Dania also showed a necklace marked specifically, which is a symbol of the Scnaider residence.
"..............."
This guard knight frowned, a memory he had once recalled a few months ago.
[ Coat of arms...The first feeling that came was a child, but now a woman. Is he his mother?, what noble secretly has a wife and child that the public does not know?.] This knight thought out loud.
Why think so too, because the Archduke is a person who has not been home from abroad for a long time, so something like this can be possible.
It's like getting married abroad, so not many people know about the relationship that Acrhduke is actually in.
It felt to be the subject of his gaze..
"..............?. "
[Is there something wrong with me?. ] Dania noticed her own appearance, was there something wrong with her after waking up earlier?.
[Why he .....ah.] Dania finally remembered, this person in front of her was the one library guard she had met when she first entered.
[Maybe he is imagining excessively.] One of his eyebrows raised, remembering something that often happens.
Excessive delusion.because of self-made misunderstandings.
Dania remembered that long ago when she came here in the form of a child, but who is now the real figure, so it can be guessed that this person is indeed fantasizing about things that are not.
Return a badge to this woman.
" Please come in. "he bowed as a sign of respect to him.
[But his wife was younger than I thought. ] Inwardly, as Dania went past him.
[He fantasized that I was his wife?. ] What else if not?, it used to come is his form that is like a boy, but now his original form is this.
Can be guessed...
[The child who used to be like my son. ]
Dania got frustrated, scratching her non-itchy head.
" Haisshh. " Dania cursed, so he thought too much because he judged the reaction of the man's face.
On one side, precisely on the 5th floor of the Muzelan library building.
On the fifth floor there is one special room, for people who love music. The room has a good soundproofing, making the place suitable as a training ground or looking for references when making songs.
But in that place there are now two people, lovers, but now they are both debating something, which is more important than a chronic level hobby, namely health...
" Stop, you don't have to go this far. Your body needs rest!" she asked, to a woman who is now her fiance.
" It's only 8 hours left, the rest of my time" replied the woman, opening the book she was holding, walking by the open window, because the wind was cool, the window is also open.
" I know, but just take 1 hour to rest your body. Almost a week rarely sleep, what is so valuable your hobby than your health?. "had been warned many times, but the result is his fiancee did not listen to his advice.
Without looking back at the man, this woman continued to fight.
" It's just a little bit more.if I keep fighting with you because of problems like this, I can't solve it quickly." he said, his hand did not stop scratching the black ink onto the paper.
His words were not wrong, but unfortunately this time it was too much.
Secretly to his two hands clenched tightly. He was not willing if his fiancee was sick just because of something like this.
" No, this time you need to rest. "
he said, his tone was so cold that it spontaneously drew a reaction from the woman, to realize, if this time there is no mercy for her.
" A-what is.." instantly his face turned deathly pale.
" What?. Of course I have to make you rest in peace, right~?. "
" What do you mean?. "reverse back, he became afraid of the behavior and appearance of this man's face which usually has a soft gaze, juatru currently looks like he is a sworn enemy.
" I........" Walking slightly quickly towards his fiancee, his right hand began to lift upwards.
" Would help you sleep. "his intention was to make him faint, but the one in bullying instead retreated backwards continuously, so he continued to chase after him.
" NO!. " This woman immediately shouted, she could not leave this opportunity, could not sleep for now, because the song was not finished yet.
" You're the one who made me like this. "
His feelings were still afraid of the look of his fiancee's face, did not make his legs stop to retreat, until at one point...
" Yes I know, but I. I..." his sight turned completely dark.
[ Uh....? ] and one of his legs stumbled with one other leg, until his body rolled back, heading to a wide open window.
[..............! ]His sinister face had turned into a panic.
" CELL!. " This man shouted, then ran while extending his hand to reach for Selina's hand.
But her speed was losing fast with her body Selina who had already staggered back, and even worse, her body started to come out of the window...
" SELINA!. " His hand only reached for the empty air.
[I. ]His face panicked, his legs ran and stopped right by the window, his body immediately bent, looking down, his fiancee who suddenly fell.........is this the end of the relationship?.
BRUKK.........
This man closed his eyes, not holding back reality with that voice. The final sound from the history of someone who fell from the 5th floor.

A little far away, Dania...
" Hmm?. " Reading up, he could hear the sound of a small commotion in one place.
[What is a sparring from a married couple over work?. ] Just guess, and his guess came to a startling result.
[He wasn't suicidal, was he?. ] The look on his face remained the same, not surprised at all, when....
There was one body suddenly coming from above approaching him.
BRUKK....
VUSH.....
" What voice was that?. "the knight immediately looked back, then saw the shocking scene of the woman who was thought to be his Archduke wife.
" W-what happened?. "he asked, coincidentally the hat she was wearing fell, rolled, and stopped right in front of her feet, she took it.
Dania, now the thing she found before entering the door of the library building was a beautiful woman dressed in a dark blue dress that was now in her two hands.
Dania managed to capture this woman's body before it completely fell into a crumble with blood splattered on its way.
But Dania looked up again, there was a man on the fifth floor.
[It's fair that the pressure is a little heavy, apparently falling from the fifth floor. ]
and look back at the woman who looks older than him.
[Fatigue, and already had ulcer disease.] Her eyes could not be deceived anymore, from her current perspective, the woman in her carriage was already really in quite a troubling condition.
It was supposed to be a break, but there was no sign that this woman had ever rested properly.
" A-you..is that strong?. " So still struck by his shock, he ran to the place where this woman had just saved a fallen woman from a height!.
" Let me just.here." offered to take the place of duty to carry the unconscious woman.
Dania certainly held him back.
" Wait, you just yell at the man on the 5th floor to get down. "pinta Dania, because anyway the man up there must be aware.
Accordingly, this person looked up and then with confidence in his destiny, immediately shouted.
" Hey there!, come down now if you want to see your future wife safe!. "
[..............! ]
" Wife candidate?. " Dania was astonished, it turns out this woman has not been a wife, but a future wife which means still a fiancee.
" Of course, the plan is next month the two of them will get married. But lately Miss Selina is often overtime because of her job which is her hobby, surely this is already at its maximum limit. "seeing Selina has fainted like that, Selina has passed out like that, that was the end of his struggle for the week.
" But.... you...how can you be that strong?, if an ordinary human, catching someone from that height must be to your two hands already broken. "
" Can it be strong it needs a reason?. " Dania asked back. He would not explain himself to her, for what?, there was no benefit at all.
DRAPON.....
DRAPON......
DRAPON......
" cell..Selena... " Start calling his name with his face looking desperate.
At first he was desperate to see the fact that Selina would leave him for ever, but everything didn't.
Dania handed the body of the woman called Selina to the man who was Selina's fiance.
" A-you who addressed it?. "he asked but still had doubts about the question.
" He who saved your future wife with his own hands" who answered not Dania herself but has been represented by this knight.
" What?!. "can't believe, but from the outside, the woman who saved Selina, despite having a decent height, but in terms of physical Dania was a little thinner than Selina.
" Take care of him, remember loudly, if the canal is late to eat, he will have ulcer disease again.
He just said the style alone, without telling that fatigue and ulcer disease suffered by Selina was completely cured.
" good.thank you. Already saved Selina for me. "was engraved with a relieved smile.
Dania somehow felt happy with this thank you.
" Yes.again I should have saved someone I could still reach with my own hands. "
Finally today he did one good thing.
There was a feeling of pride in his heart, was that his gift after doing some kindness in today?.
His hand received the outstretch of a hat given by this knight, put it on again and left the three of them.
Where else if not enter the library that is still quiet.
This man went to bring Selina home, only for less than 1 hour, he returned to the city library.
Hoping that the girl who saved her fiance is still here, and luck is on her side.
He could still meet her, but on the floor the scene of the crime was happening here.
The meeting is on the fifth floor.
And the woman was cradling one of the papers containing the chord of the song, from the many papers that were scattered on the floor.
" Is this what you're working on?. " Dania saw a piece of paper with a scrawl of the song chord.
" Selina is making a new song, but the deadline is later, at 8 p.m. " This man began to quote the papers that were strewn on the floor.
" Where?. "
" In my Restaurant. "
" Can I see it?. " It's been a long time, not seeing a music show, so there's little desire to see Selina's performance.
" But..chord song that he made, not yet fully finished. "only 6 and a half hours left, currently Selina is resting, is, and the chord song that Selina had been working on for a week was not finished.
Honestly, he felt sad, not sad because his new song was not finished. But sad because Selina was made sick because of this song.
" Who demands to be finished today?. "
" Selina herself told people that today there will be a new song. "
Dania sighed softly.
" Hahh...indeed those who visit the restaurant are song lovers?. They only come to enjoy food, right.
Nothing is wrong, but nothing is right. But most of those who come to the restaurant are ordinary people who just enjoy the song without understanding the meaning of each tone heard.
" It's just that the hallmark of my restaurant is to enjoy the food by performing the recital. "there are only two restaurants in the Rovathia empire that give the recital, the show, juka there are two means one is a branch restaurant, and the other is a main restaurant.
Enjoying the taste of food and enjoying the beauty of music, that is the hallmark of his two restaurants.
Hearing this, he became envious of himself.
[The two of them really have a suitable destiny. ]
One was a restaurant owner, and the other was a music player who was the hallmark of this man's restaurant.
[Complement each other.. ]
Thinking of that, his hand spontaneously scratched an ink onto the paper.
He completes the part of Chord that is not true, so it does not take long, the paper is filled with Chord song Selina.
