Strongest Warlock - Wizard World Irregular

The day of the Ballroom Party had finally come.

Ethan and Nicole both wore the ceremonial clothes of a Knight, which had been prepared for them beforehand.

Both of them looked very good in it, especially Nicole, who was radiating an aura of a true Magical Knight.

Sebastian and Ethan’s Other Half whistled when they saw her and even gave the beautiful young lady a thumbs up.

"Too bad Ethan only plans to have five wives and one concubine,” Sebastian commented.

"Well, we’re still not sure who the last one will be,” Ethan’s Other Half commented. “But then again, Illumina might hear us, so we should drop the subject while we still can.”

Sebastian nodded. “Agreed.”

Ethan pretended not to hear the comments of the two beings inside his Sea of Consciousness and walked side by side with Nicole.

They were waiting for their names to be called before entering the Event Hall, which would be happening in a few minutes.

Usually, Nicole would strike up a conversation and even tease Ethan a bit like usual, so her silence now made him feel like something was wrong with her.

"I’m not nervous,” Nicole replied without even glancing in Ethan’s direction. “I’m simply preparing myself mentally to receive my Noble Title, which I rightfully deserve.”

Ethan knew that the young lady wasn’t telling him the truth, but since he didn’t want to disturb her, he decided to keep his silence as well.

Five minutes later, Mary and Sue appeared beside them and reminded them that Lord Edmond would be calling their names soon.

The minutes passed by quickly, and they heard the Grand Archmage’s words spread throughout the event hall.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, it is time for everyone to see and meet our guests of honor,” Edmond said. “Please welcome, Nicole Asta and Ethan Gremory!”

A round of applause reverberated in the surroundings after the Grand Archmage announced the arrival of the two new Honorary Knights of their Kingdom.

Nicole, who was about to take a step forward, paused when she felt Ethan grab hold of her hand.

"I’m here,” Ethan said as he took a step forward, holding Nicole’s hand firmly and meeting her gaze. “You’re not alone.”

Nicole glanced at the hand holding her own before shifting her gaze to the handsome young man, who had a reassuring smile on his face.

"Okay,” Nicole replied before taking a step forward.

When they appeared at the top of the staircase, Queen Evane and Princess Eva both arched their eyebrows when they saw the two teenagers walking down the stairs, hand in hand.

Of course, the other guests also found this surprising, but for some reason, they didn’t find it out of place.

Ethan was very handsome, and Nicole was a gorgeous young lady.

The two of them descending the staircase side by side was a sight as beautiful as a painting.

Some of the Nobles even thought that they perfectly suited each other, while a handful thought that they were a match made in heaven.

People liked to look at beautiful things, and the two teenagers weren’t lacking when it came to good looks.

The moment they arrived at the base of the stairs, Ethan reluctantly released Nicole’s hand as both of them bowed towards the King, the Queen, and the Grand Archmage of Eastshire. ⱤäℕΟꞖЁᶊ

"Nicole Asta and Ethan Gremory, please kneel,” King Austen said, and the two teenagers knelt in front of him.

The King then reached out toward the ceremonial sword that was presented to him by his Grand Archmage and held it firmly with both hands.

"Be it known to all men that I, Austen Whitehall, am minded to raise Nicole Asta and Ethan Gremory, by virtue of their honor, loyalty, valor, and skill at arms, to the high rank of knighthood.

King Austen then lowered his sword and rested it on Ethan’s right shoulder.

"Do you swear and acknowledge me to be your true and lawful liege?” King Austen asked.

"I swear,” Ethan replied.

King Austen raised his sword, and this time, he lowered it to rest on Nicole’s right shoulder.

"Do you also swear fealty to me, to defend and obey me until I depart from the throne or death shall take you?”

"I swear,” Nicole replied.

King Austen raised his sword and lightly tapped Nicole’s and Ethan’s left shoulder consecutively as he made his own vow for his two loyal subjects.

"And I, for my part, do swear to defend and honor Dame Nicole Asta and Sir Ethan Gremory as befits a true knight,” King Austen stated.

"By the power vested on me, as the King of this Kingdom, and by all witnesses here, I dub thee, Dame Nicole Asta, and Sir Ethan Gremory. Rise, and let Eastshire see your glory!”

Ethan and Nicole stood up at the same time and bowed their heads respectfully to King Austen.

The King nodded and reached to take a sword from his Queen, which he passed to Nicole.

"This sword represents the authority of the Knight of this Kingdom, so use it well to serve and protect its people,” King Austen said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty.” Nicole accepted the sword presented to her with grace. “I swear to protect this kingdom with every drop of my blood.”

King Austen smiled before reaching out to take the sword that Princess Evangeline was holding.

"This sword represents the authority of the Knight of this Kingdom, so use it well to serve and protect its people,” King Austen repeated what he had said earlier.

"Thank you, Your Majesty,” Ethan bowed and accepted the sword. “But it would have been better if you gave me a spear instead.”

A deafening silence descended upon the Event Hall before it was broken by King Austen’s laughter.

"Good!” King Austen patted Ethan’s shoulder twice. “Our Kingdom needs gutsy young men like you. A spear you want, a spear you shall get. But please take good care of that sword. It is a sword that represents the knights of this kingdom after all.”

Ethan nodded and held the sword firmly in his hands.

Suddenly, he saw something from the corner of his vision, making him raise his head towards the staircase.

There, he saw the young lady, who had previously appeared in the garden and had cut his Water Dragon in half.

There was a faint smile that could be seen on her angelic face as she met Ethan’s gaze.

However, a moment later, she disappeared as if she had never been there in the first place.

King Austen and Edmond both glanced in the direction where Ethan was looking.

But they didn’t manage to catch a glimpse of the Protector of the Royal Palace, who had come to witness the knighting ceremony, making Ethan feel as if she was there to ensure that he wouldn’t run away from her sight.
