Emilia’s eyes shone like a summer lake. A white snowflake passed by and signaled the start of winter.

Almond stood against the piercing wind and wore a complete set of armor in front of Emilia.

Clank.

He knelt before her and prepared to be honored. Their eyes met as he placed his sword in his hands.

Emilia smiled and reached out when they made eye contact.

“I appoint you to be my knight.”

***

Soft winds accompanied the warm sunlight and greenery surrounded the colorful flowers. Spring must’ve arrived and some time passed since he became a knight in the winter.

“It’s suddenly spring?”

Almond could finally move according to his will and interacted with his viewers.

— You must’ve skipped time.

— Oooh.

Is this the end?

— Emilia’s smile was so pretty…

— Emilia…

— But what’re you supposed to do now?
‘What to do…’?

First, he needed to assess the situation.

Almond checked what he was wearing.

“My clothes changed. It seems more luxurious…”

He wore different clothes from his days as a mercenary. The texture felt different too.

Du Dun.

A familiar drum rang out and he received a mission.

[Complete the final challenge to become a knight!]

Was he not a knight yet?

Almond stared at the floating text in confusion. He couldn’t quite grasp the situation due to the time skip.

“Sir Almond!” Someone called him from far away. “You’ll be late for your competition!”

It was a little boy. All knights were accompanied by one.

But Almond wasn’t an official knight yet? Then it didn’t make sense for one to accompany him.

“What competition?”

“Sorry? Did you smoke some plants last night?”

“No.”

“Then did you drown yourself in wine? The feud regarding your knight title is supposed to be settled today!”

“Right.”

“Not right,?Lady Emilia will be furious if she found out! Let’s hurry…”

“What would happen if I knew?”

A lady’s voice could be heard. It was Emilia.

Hiiik! Lady…”

“Sir Almond.”

Emilia brushed past the boy and approached Almond.

She stared at Almond quite strangely. It seemed different from before.

Smooch.

— Wow.

— A gift from the start!

— I’ve used up all my wishes…

— You can stop playing Kingdom Age now…

Emilia kissed him.
