-- Noble Knight, with a discerning gaze,
A warm heart aches for the people.
Purian yearns to bring justice,
He will convince the Senate and the council.

Erephir sang a new verse with a look full of solemnity, and with a voice as softened as possible, but at the same time with distinct epic undertones (I'm not sure if I can find the right words). It should be fine, it will be easier to redo it.

-- Well, Riya, I can finally officially congratulate you on becoming a Knight, we weren't allowed to before. Our lives will change significantly soon," Alaria seemed to have a hint of self-satisfaction on her face before the next sentence. "Meanwhile, I want to note that there was no defeat on my part today, it was just a reconnaissance in force. We gained valuable information, and we will no longer make any tactical mistakes, even if they did occur.

-- But tell me, how are things going for you?

- Yes. Judging by what we found in the complex, they came up with many different nasty things. For example, feeding people bugs, - she shuddered. - So, if it weren't for the information we received from Sonata - and from someone else - we probably wouldn't be talking right now. You could call it great luck or a miracle, although in this situation, such concepts sound... inappropriate. But you seem to have recovered. It's good to see, Kleona-san, - a sympathetic nod. - Won't you tell us what you did before? Some of the newcomers prefer not to focus on their past lives, but you seem to be an unusual woman. Your image is intriguing.

— Perhaps "A hot heart aches for Velfern" would sound more melodic?

— We are only Knight in name for now. And I have my own personal anxieties regarding this, — the Tanarsian's voice lacked that same solemnity, — but I congratulate you on the fulfillment of your dream and on obtaining such an honorable position. As for the situation at the pier, — a stifled chuckle, — a circus more chaotic than one in Carneole.

— Beata found a musician, the musician saw me, crapped his pants and ran away so fast that only you could have caught up, — the description of "successes" turned out to be quite brief, — now she and Guion are trying to get help from Lady Asukan, but there is no certainty regarding the success of their venture.

— Moving on to other topics while we wait for them here. Erephir, I know you are going to Naria's villa today and I want to come with you.

besides, I would like to hear the details about the fortress personally. To participate in the discussion if the construction plan is not yet fully finalized.

— We will need to determine a hierarchy so that we don't find ourselves leaderless in the event of any tragic outcome. You will likely have to define or find a deputy.

— It's unlikely that my position as a cook will remain as such by the completion of construction. That's ignoring unforeseen moments. But I am happy to cook for you.

— An Order of seven people is not an Order. New recruits are possible. Their position in the hierarchy is also intriguing. It's not excluded that we will train recruits and each of the current members will find themselves in the status of a knight-captain.

— It would be good to know the fate destined for our current headquarters after relocation. Idle curiosity, but nevertheless.

— The question of transport also needs to be discussed. A train is not an option, too slow. Wyverns would be more convenient, if Her Majesty is generous enough. This would also facilitate access to an important trading point in the form of Margel.

-- Alas, the stress should be on the first syllable. "For the souls" is possible, but it's not quite what I meant to say; the previous Emperor was not a preacher, after all—he sought material ways to improve the lives of the citizens. Yes, "for the citizens" works, but is it too formal?

-- The people rightfully feel very warmly toward Her Majesty, which is why a certain sense of fanaticism overcame them at that moment, and I happened to be nearby and almost accidentally became involved. It's funny, but not scary. I must admit, at the last moment I was slightly afraid that another mishap might occur after my words about the performance, but everything seems to be fine, -- the girl looked over the stage, where Bea and Gui were already bustling about. Alaria should have guessed what she was talking about.

-- In an ideal case, I would like the entire squad to go. You need to be initiated, don't you? N-no, of course, I don't know the Suzerain's plans on this matter, but... What happened cannot be underestimated; it was a great honor, and moreover, a reward for the victory awaits you. You don't think you'll make do by simply sending a letter of gratitude? "Thank you, we will spend these funds wisely, and the title will come in handy, it was a pleasure." I am sure that such matters must be resolved in person; I hope I am not wrong.

-- Your profession is a builder. I was actually hoping that I would draw up a list of requirements, and you would oversee their execution. Well, of course, you'll contribute to the planning too... In any case, it's good that you think similarly.

-- I bet I'll have to draft an entire code, not just a hierarchy, -- the words about beheading seemed not to have affected the redhead in the slightest. -- For this, of course, I'll have to study others' experiences, but generally, if I do it according to my heart, I'm used to the magister or grandmaster (I don't know who they've appointed me as) holding the title of first among equals. The other roles are also outlined, based on talents and mutual trust. In other words, I want all of you to be someone important; I will strive for that, and yes, I will have a deputy. This decision will not simply be handed down from above; it must be something that everyone internally agrees with joyfully.

-- A real military organization consists of a great many members of different ranks. Of course, we will have "squires," -- the girl smiled. -- Although in reality, it's more complicated; a very careful balance between numbers and professionalism is needed.

-- It's quite possible that we'll need our own man in Margel or simply a place to station in case of business in the city. We'll see what the Suzerain says.

Saying this, Fyr wondered how much time was left until the performance? Maybe run to the villa after all? It should be noted that Carneol's authority could somewhat depend on the success of the performance, so.............. If only with the Suzerain's consent I could drag a musician or two from there, surely there are some among the servants. Of course, then some other formalities could be settled, and the Dear Person could finally be congratulated, and I could ask about whether the Carneolians could come in full force. But time, time is the question.

So, we need to hurry and get it done.

Amused by this gesture in their current situation, Ayano sits on the bed, crosses her legs, and places her palms on her knee, turning slightly towards the "slave."
"Why not?" she agrees. "I am a miko of the Yanagi Temple, or a priestess, if you prefer. This is the main branch of my people's beliefs; we are responsible for ensuring the functioning of our temples and shrines, upholding spiritual traditions, and, umm... Are there demons, undead, and evil spirits in Vistaria? We make sure they don't bother the population or cause harm. I've been doing this my whole life, moving from place to place, but in this empire, I haven't really encountered them yet – maybe the local clergy takes care of them, or maybe this land has been spared from this problem. It's hard to say. So, here, I'm just taking care of the Temple."

There's still plenty of time.

The audience has gathered and is waiting.
