Knights of the Round Table
Sebastian led me, Shiro and Mylene to a conference room, or rather, a round table room in Camelot Castle, which was made of stone and had a rustic atmosphere.
There, Anne, looking more dignified than the last time I saw her, was sitting at a round table at the far end of the conference room.
On either side of her are Mary and Anastasia.
And Kenji and Reinhard.
Drake and the Ram-Nem sisters are already sitting.
"You've arrived."
Anne spoke to me, Shiro, and Mylene.
For some reason, I feel like there's a glow behind Anne, or rather, a halo, and I feel a little nervous.
"What's with this round table conference?"
I answered in a strong manner, trying not to lose to Anne, who had become strangely more dignified.
"Yes. I will appoint Cedric-san, Shiro-san, and Mylene-san as Knights of the Round Table of the Kingdom of Britain."
Anne stands up and walks over to me, Shiro, and Mylene.
For some reason, Anastasia has also followed suit.
"What? What are you planning to do!"
I instinctively take a step back.
I really don't want to be used as a servant by someone else.
"Ced-kun. The knighthood ceremony will begin now."
Anastasia gives a brief explanation.
"Why do I have to become Anne's knight?"
I firmly refuse.
I don't want to be a knight.
I want to live freely!
"I think it would be very convenient to obtain the status of a knight in the great Kingdom of Britain!"
I don't really understand it, but Anastasia highly recommends it.
Or rather, when you become a knight, do you mean receiving a knighthood?
If I recall correctly, Mick Jagger and 007's Sean Connery received one.
The so-called aristocracy.
I believe the chairman of Toyota Motor Corporation also received it in the past.
Well, when I think about it that way, it feels light.
The chairman of Toyota definitely doesn't swear allegiance to the Queen of England.
"That’s fine! I’ll become a knight!
In fact, please do!
Knights are semi-nobles, so you don't have to pledge allegiance to Anne so much!"
I am a man who does not want responsibility, but only status and honor.
"Master, you’re such a prick!"
Shiro reads my mind and immediately criticizes me.
"Knight is only in appearance.
Since Cedric-san is the Ancestor-sama's older brother, I have actually prepared you the title of Grand Duke.''
"Huh? Grand Duke? Grand Duke is a position above a duke, right?"
"Yes. I have to make you a knight of the round table, so you will be given the title of knight, but after the war with the Crusades is over, I plan to have Cedric-san become a grand duke."
Anne answers with a smile, like a benevolent celestial maiden.
Now that Anne has become the princess of the Kingdom of Britain, everything she says seems to be dignified.
"Does the Grand Duke have any responsibilities or other obligations?"
"To a certain extent."
The position of grand duke is a great honor, but responsibility is the word I dislike the most.
"Then I don't need the Grand Duke! Just give me the knight!"
"I see. I don't mind that at all."
"What!? Aren't you going to keep me?"
"I won’t keep you. For me, I just want you to become a knight of the Round Table.
The reason I said I would make you Grand Duke was because I thought it would be bad for Cedric-san to make you work for free.
The others have all been promised the status of baron."
"Anne-san! Can I become a baron too?"
Shiro quickly asked a question.
"Yes. Of course, both Shiro-san and Mylene-san will be made barons!"
"Alright!"
Shiro is overjoyed.
"You're my servant, but you're so cocky, calling yourself a baron!"
"Master, I have a higher status in the Kingdom of Britain!
Master is just a knight, right?
Is it okay for a semi-noble to behave like that towards a servant who is a genuine aristocrat?"
"Kuh! Damn itーー!"
I finally lost to Shiro in terms of status.
From now on, I will have to listen to Shiro's orders.
All the unfair orders I've given until now are coming back to me.
Will I have to cook Shiro's meals and build a house for her from now on?
If I were to build a house by myself, it would normally take me about 10 years...
"I won’t ask Master to do that!
When it comes to things I want Master to do for me, it's just about having s*x with me!"
"I can't do that! I am a man who would never touch a minor!
Even if the genre is erotic fantasy, there are certain lines that must not be crossed!"
"I know, I’m just kidding.
Even though I have a higher status, I don't have any problems if Master treats me as you always have.''
Thank God Shiro is a good child.
Now, I can't imagine my life without Shiro, my handy maid.
After all, I can't make a lot of money by myself, I don't want to make breakfast, I don't want to wipe myself after I get out of the bath, and I don't want to brush my teeth afterward!
"Just brush your teeth yourself!
Even though you're a vampire, if you get cavities and lose your teeth, you won't be able to suck blood!"
"It’s not like I'm a vampire duke, but I can survive without drinking blood!
Ah! When I thought about it, I was actually a duke!
Besides, I don't need a title in the Kingdom of Britain!"
"You're just realizing that now?"
Shiro answered with an astonished look on her face.
