--- Ollie's POV ---

"Hahahaha~!" General Zettour was laughing with his heart's content to the point he was attracting attention

General Ludeldorff came over to us with his wife and kids and asked "Zettour? What has gotten into you?" confused at his friend's laughing frenzy

"I think it was my fault, General Ludeldorff." I said with a smile

General Ludeldorff looked at me confused, prompting me to continue on my explanation but before I could General Zettour had enough air to explain "She said, she made death her bitch and life her whore." to which the both of them started laughing

Their women on the other hand had a different reaction

"Dear girl who taught you that foul language?" Charlotte asked

"A girl as young as you should never say such words even when you're an adult is still disgraceful." A woman who I think is General Ludeldorff's wife said

"Be that as it may, I am hardly considered a child if I compare myself to the average 11 year old. And if we considered why all of us are here in the first place then I might as well be an adult." I said in a sweet voice

The adults looked at me with sadness at the thought of a child going to war and becoming a war veteran but the army staff looked at me differently. In their eyes, though I may be a child I am one of the most competent and highly valuable officer in the army. Who has the support of the local troops in the frontlines. One of the variables that would tip the scale in favor of the empire

My thoughts we stopped when I heard the sound of laughter coming closer

I looked towards its general direction and saw The Emperor, his wife and kids walking over. The people moving to the side to make way as they bowed

"Hahaha, such words coming from an war veteran I wouldn't be surprised but coming from an 11 year old, I couldn't help but laugh. Knowing how true your words are." The Emperor said looking at me

Then his wife cleared her throat and said "Major, though you are a magnificent soldier, you could use more work on being more ladylike. Noble society is rsther strict when it comes to that."

I bowed my head and said with a smile "Thank you for the advice your grace but please know that this is who I am and if they can't handle that then so be it. I'm not changing who I am."

The Empress looks at me in shock and giggles then said "Good Girl, I was only telling you this because it might help you in the future not only for meeting other nobles but people in general."

I nodded my head and said "I will keep that in mind."

"Now, how about you and my son dance the first dance of the night?" The Empress said with a smile as she put her hand on her son's shoulder

This caused whispers to go around the room, the young noble ladies were gritting their teeth and their cute glares were trying to put holes on me

I smiled and bowed my head then said "Forgive me your majesties but I don't know how to dance? I only know The Devil's Symphonny."

Everyone looked at me confused. The Emperor's curiosity got the better of him and l asked "The Devil's Symphonny?"

"It's a dance so beautiful that the people who are watching can't help but look at aw. At the beautiful figure dancing as the world around her burns to the ground, to which it furthers the beauty of the dancer. That is the devil's symphonny." I explained with a smile

The people who didn't know just nodded at my description but to those who knew what I was talking about, they could only look at me in fear and aw that I had the gall to say it to the emperor no less

"I see, that's to bad." The Empress said with a sad smile

"But may I recommend the granddaughter of General Zettour, I have heard that she is a wonderful dancer." I said with a smile

--- Timeskip ---

Once the first dance was done, others started to go to the dance floor and stsrted dancing gracefully

I smiled at the scene as I took a sip from my glass that looked like white wine

I couldn't help but laugh 'Ahhh, apple juice.'

As I was enjoying my drink, a shadow towered over me making me look up from my beverage, only to be met with a boy

"What do you want?" I asked as I went back to enjoy my drink

"We meet again." The boy said

I looked up to get a gokd look at him and I asked

"Who are you?"
