In a spacious room, there is Emilia standing in front of Arthur who is kneeling on one knee with his face look at the floor. On Emilia's right hand there is a long sword with a slender form. Every part of the sword from the guard to the pommel seem like they are made out of pristine blue ice crystals while the blade itself is nearly transparent with a purple line on the central ridge and fuller there is also a cross-shape flower design decorates the sword's guard.

The Promise Sword: The sword for knighthood ceremony.

▪︎May You Forever By My Side: The sword will never rust, dull, and break as long as the lord and vassal relationships is exist

▪︎Thousand Winter: Create a blizzard that will act as a barrier and enemy detector

▪︎The sword can appear and disappear by the will of the user

▪︎Increase ice element damage by 120%

▪︎Bound to Emilia Immediately if the ceremony is complete

After the battle ended, there is a notification from the system it states if he wants to be Emilia's knight then he needs to use this sword as a ceremonial sword so the knighthood ceremony will be recognized by the system.

Sensing there is a possibility of additional reward he gifts the sword to Emilia and convinces her to use this sword instead of the one prepared by Roswaal.

"I'm not born in a royal family or a noble family so I didn't know how to speak in this type of ceremony, but for you to be my knight I just hope you will treasure your own life instead throwing it to save me, because even if I alive, I will live full of regret forever" Emilia speak honestly to Arthur "I hope you will be the greatest knight in the world. May glory and victory will always stand on your side"

Emilia lays the side of the sword's blade onto Arthur's right shoulder and then she raises the sword gently just up over Arthur's head and places it on his left shoulder. Rem who is standing at the sideline come up and accept the sword from Emilia before she is backing to her previous place.

Emilia held Arthur's face in both hands, she lifted Arthur's face, whose eyes were closed, towards herself, Emilia bent at the waist and bestowed upon Arthur's forehead a light kiss.

^ Congratulations the Host successfully acquire title 'Witch of Frost's Knight' rewarding Host with 200.000 system point, complete ability card x1, random ability card x1 ^

There is a change to Arthur's suit, at first, it was Royal Guard uniform with the same type as the one wears by Felix but with base color black and white color as variations but there is a little change where the white colors change to purple.

"Thaaat is the most unusual knighthood ceremony I ever seeee" Roswaal open his mouth and break the silence in the room

"This is a bit of problematic indeed..." Arthur stand up with a wry smile on his face

"Eh? It can't be done like this?" Emilia didn't understand with which part is a problem in the eyes of Roswaal and Arthur

"The knight is sword and shield for their lord, if you want them to prioritize their own life then that's mean they're just a garbage weapon that can't help their lord in time of need" Puck appear and give Emilia an explanation

"I didn't mean it like that! I just didn't it to happen so that's why I'm saying it!" Emilia speaking with panic all over her face

"Don't worry, I know you didn't have any ill-meaning. If there is a time when death is the only outcome, I will flee" Arthur paused a little and look at her eyes "of course I will bring you with me"

Emilia look at Arthur's eyes and didn't answer him

"Well, with your ability I think there is just a small amount of people in the world who can stop you" Puck yawn on Emilia's shoulder before he disappears again

"Weeeell, the ceremony is over then let's head to the dining room. Rem already prepare a lot of delicious food for us there" Roswaal lead the way and once again he didn't ask Emilia's and Arthur's opinion, or it can be said he is like to ignore or people's opinion, especially about him.

.....

In Emilia's study room she is busying herself with reading book that can help her to be a good monarch, inside this room there is quite a lot of book for politics, economy, and military, there is also several books of history. And the one that Arthur currently holds is one of those historical books.

'System how come I got a lot of reward from being her knight but just received a sword for overcoming the trial dimension?' Arthur feels very ecstatic with a hefty reward that he received from the system but he is slightly suspicious because the great reward mean greater dangerous situation he will face

^ The system judge if this change will bring this world heading to brighter future rather than how it must be ^

^, Of course, it didn't mean there will not any obstacles on the road that's why Host receive an ample amount of rewards ^

There is just one person that can be called a knight for queen candidates, that's why even if there is a lot of people who want to be Crusch's knight there is just Felix who holds the title knight for her. And with him being Emilia's knight then that's mean Subaru chance become her knight like how it must be in the original is sealed.

'In other words, I have to get stronger every day. How about that two-card?'

^ Complete ability card can upgrade one of Host ability to ten levels directly regardless of the current level ^

^ Random ability card is like what the name implies, it will give Host a random ability ^

Arthur glance at his current system points and he decide what he wants to upgrade

'Upgrade Heavenly Body, The Heart of Ice, The Brain of Lightning Lord to level ten. Safety first'

^ Deducting 144.000 system point ^

'Use complete ability card on Senbonzakura' this ability not just have great destructive power but the most importantly senbonzakura is good for showing off

^ Congratulations Senbonzakura is successfully reaching level ten, integrating Senbonzakura into Host soul ^

^Congratulations Host from now on you can use Senbonzakura power without any side effects ^

'Use random ability card now'

^ Congratulations host acquire the new ability, Hyourinmaru ^

'Why I receive another shinigami power?'

^ Even if it was random, the highest level of ability you have will affect the outcome ^

'So in other words, if I use this card before upgrade Senbonzakura, I still get this ability?'

^Not exactly, what you will receive is weak zanpakuto power and impossible to draw zanpakuto power on captain class like Senbonzakura^

'Then I must consider I'm quite lucky because I want to show off. Well, I can cover the weaknesses of Hyourinmaru with The Heart of Ice modification so it's good too, upgrade Hyourinmaru to level six immediately'

"What are you reading, Arthur?" Emilia ask Arthur who looks like in a deep thought

"Oh, just a history. How is your progress?" Arthur stop communicate with the system and look at Emilia

"Not bad, but there is a lot of things I didn't understand about politics, military, and economy..." Emilia leaning back on the chair and cover her face

'Isn't that same with didn't understand anything at all?' Arthur is taken aback when he heard it "Why you have not hired anyone to teach you?"

"I didn't have money to pay them" Emilia has a pained smile on her face "And there is no one who wants to teach a silver hair half-elf even if they're asked by Roswaal"

"Sorry" This is his mistake to forget about how prejudice this world is to a half-elf, a half-elf with silver hair on top of that "Even if there is no one who wants to teach you now, that didn't mean there is no one in the future"

"Thank you, I know you just want to comfort me but I'm happy to hear it" Emilia loot at Arthur with her usual smile, but who knows how she feels deep inside her heart

"Emilia-sama, do you ever have a dream if you will have a knight on your side?" Arthur put down the book and look at Emilia's eyes directly

"No... never" dare to, is what she didn't say

"But look at me, I'm standing on your side and I'm also your knight, someone who you never dream of"

Yes, from the first time she met with Roswaal and he said if she is a queen candidate she just focus how to improve herself because even if she longs for someone to stand at her side, there is no way someone who wants to have any form of relationships with her, let alone being her knight.

"Emilia-sama, please remember it. It doesn't matter how your appearance is, and it doesn't matter what your bloodline is. Because even if you're a dragon, Oni, human, or even half-elf. That's not something you can decide, but the most important thing is how big your heart is and how strong your character is. As long as you still believe in yourself if you can become a queen, then I think you can achieve it" Arthur standing in front of Emilia's desk and his eyes never avert from her eyes, in this multiracial world the possibility of every race live in harmony is nearly impossible

"Thank you... really, thank you, Arthur" This is the first time there is someone who believes in her and recognizes her for who she is and not looks at her appearance as a silver hair half-elf

Even if Roswaal treats her well, that's because he has his own objective and because she is useful for him. But Arthur is different, they just know each other no more than three days but she feels if he treats her very well he look at her different with how people look at her, and his word is something that she hopes to hear from someone for a long time.

'Even if this is something that inevitable because of her appearance, but seeing it with my own eyes makes me hope Satella successfully destroy this world in the past'

What Satella did four hundred years in the past is leaving a wound that can't be healed by time, and because of that, the hatred that people have is direct to every half-elf. Because it said Satella is a half-elf with silver hair and Emilia is born as a half-elf with silver hair, similar to what the history said about Satella appearance.

"Just focus on your study but still you need to take care of your own health. And for anything else, just leave it to me" Arthur put his hand and ċȧrėssing her hair before he vanishes from there
