"Oh? Is that how Edna explained it to you last night?"
Hilda first listened to yesterday's explanation of the family crest's meaning, then couldn't help but shake her head and smile.
"Edna is correct, but there are also some objective historical reasons why the crest doesn't appear on our clothing."
"Historical reasons?"
Hilda looked at Rudeus, who had asked the question.
"The Boreas family has a long line of military officials, not civil ones. During the Human-Demon War, the family crest was engraved onto armor, not embroidered."
"And in the era of peace that followed, our ancestors took off their blood-stained armor, a symbol of honor, and never bothered to transfer the engraved crest to embroidered cloth. Even without the crest, the glory of Boreas would shine throughout history."
"Compared to a superficial honor like a crest, our ancestors were more concerned with their territory and its people."
"After so many years, even as other noble houses gradually took on civil posts to climb the ranks of power in the capital, the Boreas family, with its military heritage, has maintained its focus on its domain and respect for tradition."
Hilda smiled.
"So, in my father-in-law's eyes, the Fitoa domain itself is our 'crest.' That's why he loves to gaze out from the high tower, to look upon this 'glory' that belongs to Boreas."
"That is why you don't see the crest prominently displayed in the mansion."
"I see."
Sylphie, Ghislaine, and the others all nodded in understanding.
Hilda turned her eyes to Alan, who was resting his chin on his hand, staring thoughtfully at the 'Iron Heart' in the book.
"However… there is a crest in the mansion. It's just not easy to notice."
Alan looked up at Hilda. Eris shouted beside him.
"Where is it! How come I've never seen it!"
Hilda placed the etiquette book on the table and looked at the curious faces around her.
"Come with me."
The group followed Hilda out of the classroom, down the corridor, and left the main residence.
They crossed the wide central courtyard.
They arrived at a domed building on the east side of the estate. It was constructed entirely of brick and stone and was quite tall.
At some point, the beast-kin maids had gathered around them and now pushed open the heavy doors.
