The story of the black silk female knight

Enochie jumped down from the carriage first and drew the curtain for Valensa:

"The young lady is waiting for you inside."

"here……"

Valensa looked around after stepping out of the carriage:

"We're probably not at the War Academy yet, though we're pretty close."

"Yes, it's less than a three-minute walk from here to the War Academy."

Enoch nodded:

"Socializing is also one of the compulsory courses in the academy. You will inevitably have to attend various banquets and balls. However, the dormitory assigned by the academy is too small and not suitable for noble ladies to prepare for banquets."

So, not long ago, the young lady bought this small building, intending to use it specifically for preparations before each banquet she and you attend, and also for gatherings with friends on holidays.

"I see... Tia is so thoughtful."

Valensa smiled and stepped into the small building.

Inside the small building, several maids dressed the same as Enori were busy at work. Many of them were familiar faces to Valensa, all from the Britannia family.

"Miss Bader, over here."

Soon a maid gave Valensa directions and led her to a room on the second floor.

Tia was sitting there, her long silver hair cascading down, being carefully held and cared for by two kneeling maids behind her.

"You've finally arrived."

Upon seeing Valensa, Tia pouted, seemingly somewhat displeased:

"Judging from the High Priest's assessment of your injuries, you should have woken up long ago. Why are you only arriving now? Could it be that you and Melina did something shameless in the Sun Dew Holy Water?"

"Uh……"

Valencia's smile froze for a second, then she immediately continued smiling as if nothing had happened:

"Tia, what nonsense are you talking about? That's the place of Her Majesty the Sun Goddess. Even if I were shameless, I wouldn't dare to do anything reckless there."

The reason I came so late is simply because I wanted to soak in the holy water of the sun a little longer... After all, I was really badly injured this time.

"……Is it?"

Tia glanced sideways, clearly still somewhat skeptical.

But she didn't investigate further. Instead, she handed Valencia a few sheets of paper and gave orders to the maid:

"This is the speech I prepared for you. Quickly write it down... Then, go and get her clothes so she can try them on."

Chapter 2 School Uniforms

"Wow, Tia, you've already prepared my speech? That's great... I was a little worried when Melina told me I needed to give a speech at the banquet... Now I'm completely at ease."

Valensa quickly took the speech, seemingly wanting to rush over and kiss Tia, but worried about disturbing Tia's hair care routine, so she winked and made a heart shape with her hands.

"I love you, Tia~~"

"Hmph, you really think I'm worried about you making a fool of yourself?"

Tia tilted her head back and closed her eyes, seemingly unwilling to see Valensa's nauseatingly sweet expression. She then secretly opened one eye to peek again.

"I'm just worried that you, you idiot, will drag me down... because I'm also going to give a speech with you as the head of the command department~~"

"As expected, Tia, you've become the chief too."

Valensa was not surprised at all by this result:

"Is it because we defeated that beast-slayer?"

"more or less."

Tia, who was undergoing hair treatment, couldn't nod, so she lifted one of her small white-stockinged feet and wiggled it:

“Normally, the top spot is contested through a ranking battle after enrollment, but there is an exception, and we are an exception among exceptions.”

"Oh?"

Valensa expressed curiosity.

"In normal special circumstances, if a student has made significant contributions during their time at school and has been unanimously recognized by all their peers, they can disregard their ranking in the ranking battle and directly become the top student in their grade."

Tia smiled and said:

"However, this kind of chief status is a bit like an honorary one. Unlike the normal chief who also needs to participate in ranking battles to defend his title, the status of this honorary chief will not change. No matter how many wins other students in the same grade get in the ranking battles, they can only be second place."

"And the two of us are the only two freshmen since the War Academy was established to have already earned the title of Honorary Chief before even enrolling... We'll definitely receive special attention in the academy, so you should be prepared."

"So what if I'm being given special attention? Well, I guess so~"

Valensa shrugged nonchalantly and blew Tia a kiss:

"As long as Tia is with me, I have nothing to be afraid of."

"Why are you spouting such cheesy nonsense again..."

As the two were chatting, the maid whom Tia had sent to fetch clothes returned, carrying a rather exquisitely packaged rectangular cardboard box.

"Is this... the dress you prepared for me, Tia?"

Valensa quickly turned her attention to the inside of the cardboard box:

"Hehe... Let me try it on quickly. Tia, you've always had good taste. The dress you prepared for me must be beautiful!"

She said she wanted to open the cardboard box, but Tia complained about it:

"Hmph, you really are just a stupid, pretty-boy knight... We're going to the War Academy's freshman welcome banquet, not a noble ball. Why are you wearing a formal dress?"

"Hey?"

Valensa was still a little taken aback, blinking her eyes:

"What should I wear to the banquet if not a formal dress? It would be too embarrassing to wear casual clothes... I can't exactly wear a suit of armor, can I? Wouldn't that be very inconvenient if I were to dance with you then?"

"Who wants to dance with you at the party? She hasn't even said yes yet, you idiot!"

Tia gave Valensa a shy glare before saying irritably:

"The box contains school uniforms... After passing the third test, a tailor will come to ask us about our body measurements."

You were still unconscious at the time, and I didn't want anyone to touch your body inappropriately... so I submitted the measurements I had beforehand. Try it on first to see if it fits."

"okay."

Besides Tia, the only other people in the room were the Britannia family's maids. Valensa didn't hold back and immediately took off her casual clothes to try on the school uniform.

Her school uniform set consists of three main parts.

A white inner lining, a black coat and pleated skirt, and some accessories, among which a double-sword-shaped badge is the most eye-catching, which is the emblem of the elite soldier's leader.

Valensa quickly put on the entire school uniform and even tried punching and kicking a couple of times to warm up.

"Hmm, it fits perfectly... As expected of Tia, she really knows my body well~~"

Valensa first expressed satisfaction with the size of the school uniform, then squinted her eyes with a mischievous grin:

“But we haven’t seen each other for over three years. How do you know my body size so well, Tia? You really have been using that secret technique all along…”

"Aaaaaah... You're not allowed to tell!"

Tia suddenly got angry and even shook her head, making the two maids who were doing her hair care look embarrassed.

"Who do you think you are? You're nothing but a heartless person who leaves without saying goodbye! I'm not worried about you that I use the secret technique, Entanglement, to observe you from time to time, humph!"

Tia's extreme shyness, which was so intense it seemed to be steaming from her head, caused her IQ to drop significantly for the time being. This unintentional display of tsundere charm made the maids in the room cover their mouths and giggle.

"Ugh... What are you laughing at? No laughing allowed!"

Tia, realizing she had just self-destructed, blushed even more and glared fiercely at Valensa:

"It's all your fault, it's all your fault... It's always been like this since we were kids! Every time I embarrass myself, it's because of you... What are you standing there for? Come over here and let me kick you a couple of times!"

Because her hair was still being styled by the maid behind her, Tia couldn't get off the chair. Her two little white-stockinged feet kicked wildly in mid-air but couldn't kick Valensa, so she had to let Valensa come over by herself.

If there was no one else in the room, Valensa wouldn't mind joining in and playing a game called "Hooking Silk and Fighting Feet" with Tia.

Unfortunately, there are still several maids in the room. Given Tia's thin skin, she would definitely be embarrassed if she played that kind of game with her.

So Valensa suddenly became serious, pulled up a chair from the side, sat down, and pulled out the speech Tia had prepared for her, pretending to work hard:

"Alright, Tia, stop fooling around... Aren't we already running out of time? Let's continue preparing for the banquet that's about to start. I also need to memorize my lines."

"...You, you bastard!"

Tia gripped the armrests of the chair tightly, her small, white-stockinged legs fully extended.

"I arranged all the preparations, and you've been the one talking nonsense and causing trouble all along... Now you're blaming me for interfering with your memorization of lines? Have you no shame?"

Shamelessness knows no bounds!

Valensa muttered to herself, but stopped teasing Tia and actually started reading the speech.

"You... hum!"

Tia had no good way to deal with Valensa's blatant cheating, so she could only close her eyes angrily and stop moving, letting the maid behind her continue to fix her hair.

After that, the two stopped joking around and focused on preparing for the banquet.

Time passed quickly.

Chapter 3 Group photo

"Miss, Miss Bader, we have arrived."

At the entrance of the War Academy, the red-haired maid Enori stopped the carriage and jumped down. She immediately pulled back the curtain and reached out her hand, seemingly wanting to help the person behind the curtain get out of the carriage.

Only after she pulled back the carriage curtain did she realize that the two people behind the curtain were already holding hands and were about to get off the carriage from the other side.

She was about to pull her hand back when Tia naturally grabbed it and helped her get out of the car, pulling Valensa over with her.

"Thank you for your hard work, Enochie."

Tia smiled and glanced at her head maid, then pointed to the academy next door:

"This is also your alma mater, right? How does it feel to be back again?"

"Completely calm."

The red-haired maid's eyes were very calm:

“I did receive three years of training here, but that’s all in the past. Now I am just your maid, Miss.”

"It seems you still can't let go of those things, Enori..."

Tia seemed quite helpless for a moment, but she quickly put on a smile again:

"Alright, as long as you're happy... Since you don't plan to go in and catch up, then get ready to go back."

"I can take care of myself at school, and Valensa will help me too, so you don't need to worry."

"Yes, Miss."

Unlike the sisterly bond between Melina and Valensa, Enori's feelings for Tia were more like those of a loyal soldier.

She would not question any of Tia's orders, but would faithfully carry them out. At this moment, she immediately jumped onto the carriage and sped away again.

Watching the carriage disappear at the end of the official road, Tia pulled Valensa around and prepared to enter the seemingly unguarded gate of the War Academy.

"Wait a minute..."

Valensa stopped Tia, looked around a few times, and then led Tia by the hand to a spot in the center of the school gate:

"This is our first time entering the War Academy, it's very memorable, how can we not use an image crystal to commemorate it? Come on, Tia, smile!"

As she spoke, she pressed herself tightly against Tia, one arm around Tia's waist, while the other hand held the transparent image crystal at an angle, just like when she took a selfie with her phone in her past life.

Actually, I've been here several times already!

Tia chuckled inwardly and muttered a sarcastic remark, but seeing Valensa's enthusiasm, she still smiled and wrapped her arms around Valensa's waist.

pat.

The image of two beautiful schoolgirls embracing tightly in front of the school gate is frozen in time.
