Maybe I should stop asking for help and just say, 'I'll figure it out myself.'
Oh, right! I finally got to see my face in a mirror recently.
I was shocked at first—I look like a total beauty!
I take after my Mother completely.
Thinking about it now, I can understand why my siblings are so obsessed with me… If I continue growing like this, I'll become the ideal beauty I've always envisioned!
The 'delicate and ephemeral' aesthetic might be tricky to pull off, though.
Maybe I should just go with the classic 'frail and sickly' persona?
But wait, if I'm sickly, I won't be able to join the knight order… Ugh, this is complicated!
Well, I still have time, so I'll think it over carefully.
While he was lost in thought, Tama returned with a tea set.
I used to be a coffee person in my past life, but the tea here is so good that I've completely switched to being a tea drinker.
"Thank you for waiting, Young Master Rafayel. Please enjoy," Tama said, setting the tea before him.
"Thank you," he replied, savoring the fragrance before taking a sip.
As they enjoyed their tea in peaceful silence, a sudden question came to Rafayel's mind.
"Tama, I have a question."
"Of course. What would you like to ask?"
"What kind of place is the knight order?"
"The knight order…? Let's see… My knowledge is somewhat limited, but I will tell you what I know."
"The knight order is made up of twelve divisions. The number of members in each division varies, but the First to Third Divisions are considered the most elite. The First Division, in particular, serves directly under the royal family."
"However, that doesn't mean the Twelfth Division is inferior, though. Some divisions specialize in using Light magic, for example, so their roles can't be easily compared."
"As I mentioned before, knights are assigned to their divisions at the age of fifteen when they officially become adults. Sometimes they are placed where they want, but other times, they are not."
"Your older brother, Young Master Thomas, is currently thirteen, so he will be assigned to a division soon. That's about as much as I know, but would you like me to find more information for you? If you want a detailed explanation, I recommend asking Young Master Thomas directly."
Tama finished her explanation, but Rafayel noticed that she seemed a little uncomfortable.
"No, that's okay. I'll ask my brother if I want to know more. But… if I talk to him, he won't let me go—he always makes me sit on his lap and refuses to let me leave."
Thomas's obsession with Rafayel was as strong as ever.
In fact, it only seemed to intensify as Rafayel grew older.
Well, I suppose I can't really blame him since I'm aware of how good I look… But wait, is this turning into something else?
Is this still just sibling affection…?
I don't know… Sometimes the way he touches me feels kind of weird…
Could it be… that my first kiss will be stolen by my own brother?! Whoa—no, he need to stand guard against him…
