The moment I accepted the rite, the room fell silent.
I could feel the gazes of everyone in the room change. Some looked at me like I was an idiot; others like I had completely lost my mind.
In particular, I could see the smile on the Marquis's face slowly rise up.
However, it was only for a brief moment as he hid it right after.
Pushing his glasses up, he cleared his throat and spoke again.
"Just so we're clear... You're speaking on behalf of the Evenus Household, correct? I know you're the current representative, but I'd hate for you to make a rash decision simply because of your youth."
What...?
Because of my youth?
Taking into account that I was originally twenty-four before passing away, alongside the three years that I had spent here, I was now twenty-seven years old. If we included the memories that belonged to my past self, then I was over a thousand years old.
Youth?
What youth!?
