There was a moment of complete silence, then people began to scream. All were far from where Ehrenfest was gathered, but the sudden noise made me turn on instinct. One by one, pillars of roaring flame shot into the air-two from among the audience seats, and another from the arena grounds where we students were standing. Eglantine was a sight to behold even from this distance, and as I saw the hairpin Tuuli had made standing out against her golden tresses, I couldn’t help but sigh in awe.Īnd then, out of nowhere, several thunderous explosions shook the arena. My heart pounded with excitement as I gazed up at him and the other royals, taking in the atmosphere of my first awards ceremony. His clear voice, magnified by a magic tool, echoed throughout the arena grounds. The awards ceremony began with a greeting from the king. “Ewigeliebe the God of Life grants his harsh judgment each winter, and your gathering here today means you have all endured it.” Hildebrand would apparently be sitting this one out, since he hadn’t yet attended his debut. There was Prince Sigiswald and his wife, as well as Prince Anastasius and his fiancée Eglantine. He and his first wife, along with all the other royals, ascended onto a platform wearing thick, heavy-looking outfits. It was obvious which one was the king-he had the Sovereign knight commander Raublut guarding him and came out before Anastasius and Eglantine.įrom appearances alone, he looked to be no older than Karstedt, and although his features resembled those of Anastasius, they were noticeably harder and more dignified. The arena was quickly surrounded by knights flourishing black capes, and highbeasts with widely spread wings descended one after another.

Once all of the students were lined up, royalty entered. I followed after them a moment later, surrounded by guard knights. “Please descend toward that circle by highbeast,” Hartmut said, leading the apprentice scholars and apprentice attendants down. “I see Ehrenfest is over there,” I remarked. Ehrenfest was the dark-yellow blob of capes, and since Wilfried and Charlotte had been the first to leave our viewing spot, I assumed they were already among them. I could tell from the clumps of different colors that most students had already descended to the arena grounds for the awards ceremony.
