Ivy's hand feels nice in mine as we walk together with my friends to the Imperial Balcony.
On our way there, Zephyr and Matteo ask me a lot of questions about what I have been up to in the Imperial Training Grounds while they were stuck at the party making conversation with nobles. I explain to them how the Emperor gave me a military unit of fifty magic knights to be under my personal command within my family.
I make sure to emphasize the fact that these magic knights are loyal to me personally, not my title.
"You get fifty personal magic knights?! That's some insanity, bro. Even as Prince of Tarondar, I barely have any magic knights who pledged their personal loyalty to me," Matteo says, looking slightly upset by this information.
"Maybe that's because all of the Tarondar magic knights pledge their loyalty to me,"
Leena teases as she elbows Matteo in the stomach.
