Raskreia was visiting the school once more, with Gejutel scaring the class into silence behind her.
"Raskreia, I believe it is break time for lunch."
"Yes."
Raskreia had planned this so that Raizel could not refuse, though she partially felt bad for it. In the end, she wanted to do it for her father. So she turned to the Noblesse, with the intentions of achieving her father's will. While his children were near, she announced, "Raizel, come to the Noblesse Festival."
He turned to her and in his usual calm, powerful voice, he calmly stated, "I decline."
"You should come, it's been too stressful lately."
"I decline."
"The Central Knights would have a boost in morale if they saw the Noblesse throw a festival for them."
"My existence is generally unknown."
"You can make your existence known."
"I decline."
"A festival by a clan leader is still a encouraging."
"Some think I'm a traitor."
"The festival can fix that."
"I decline."
"Well, it has been stressful for them as of late."
"Some Knights think I'm dead."
"Most have seen the truth, and this could be the chance for the ones who do to show them that you're not."
"I decline."
"They just lost a lot of knights."
"I decline."
"You need to get out of the house."
"I come to school everyday." Considering Raizel was a noble, that is extremely frequent.
"That doesn't count."
"..."
"You need to get out of the house."
"I have school."
As much as this wad wrong to say, Raskreia dared to say it, "Slack off. Stop being so noble."
"I decline."
"You need to do something different."
"I decline."
"You need to do something fun!"
"I decline."
"You need to live a bit."
"I decline."
By god, Raskreia was staring to sound like her father.
"You're making sound like father."
"..."
Gejutel didn't understand why she was bringing such a delicate matter in public. They wouldn't want the humans hearing of this.
"But my father would have wanted you to go."
The children began to pick up on the conversation. Slowly Gejutel began to understand and felt a little guilty as things proceeded.
"..."
"And since it is a festival he dedicated to you, you should at least honor him and go at least once."
On that note, the Suyi, Shinwoo, Ikhan, and Yuna all exploded.
Shinwoo, as loud as ever yelled, "Rai, you have a WHOLE festival dedicated to you?!"
"Yes."
Their jaws dropped in astonishment. "Since when?!"
"..."
Understanding it had been an immense amount of time, they continued,
Yuna curiously asked, "And you haven't been once?"
"I dislike crowds."
Ikhan couldn't believe it, "But he dedicated it to you!"
"..."
Shinwoo commented, "Besides even if it is crowded, festivals are fun!"
"..."
Suyi encouraged the idea, "You should go!"
"..." Rai began to shift a little, not wanting to disappoint his children.
Suyu continued, "Besides you have a whole festival dedicated to you! It's rude not to go!"
"..."
Raskreia plan was working marvelously. Just as she thought, the almighty Noblesse couldn't argue against his children.
"How about we go together?" she proposed.
Raskreia chimed in before the Noblesse could say anything, "The Noblesse Festival takes places in our home country, in which I am the Lord of."
Gejutel nearly had a heart attack. "M-my Lord, you shouldn't be revealing yourself so easily!"
Albeit Gejutel's worries, she continued. "Cadis Etrama Di Raizel holds a position that rivals mine, as he is the Noblesse. Thus the festival is the Noblesse Festival. Despite the fact the he constantly protects Lukedonia from both external and internal threats, and is to thank for our current peace, he still has yet to come. My father created this festival in hopes of helping him enjoy his life more, but yet he persisted on declining and diligently performing his duties. Although I cannot condemn Sir Raizel for that, he still needs to maintain his health and take a break. In addition, it was one of my father's death wishes for Sir Raizel to attend one of his own festivals."
Raskreia caught her breath. She had meant to only explain the significance of the festival, but instead she accidently started rambling.
Gejutel commented after getting approval from Raskreia, "Due to his immense power, many people both fear and respect the Noblesse. Up until he met Frankenstein he lived alone. Even then it was usually just them two. Having this many people around him actually is a complete change from before. The previous lord wanted to use the festival to eliminate the fear and end the Noblesse's loneliness. It's a change I'm glad to see. Thank you for being by his side."
Raskreia interjected in Gejutel's monologue.
"Part of the Noblesse's seclusion was not just because people feared him, but because he feared he would hurt them eventually. Although I can not say I know Raizel on a personal basis, I know he is of the most gentlest nature, and if not for his position, he would not even harm the earth he walked upon if possible."
"..."
Regis chimed in, "He took us in and showed us the truth ofour ignorant ways, even saved our lives."
"Seira added, "He is humble and calm, never gets mad, and when we are in trouble, he does his best to protect us."
Raizel blushed from the comments but he couldn't find it in him to refute. After all, he never was skilled in quick thinking.
As Raskreia bowed, Gejutel, Seira, and Regis bowed in respect and Ikhan, Shin-woo, Suyi,and Yuna's eyes began tear up for their cinnamon roll friend.
"Rai!" They all charge at him, bringing him into a group hug.
"Let's go!"
"We'll all go to the Noblesse Festival together okay?"
The Noblesse smiled, "Yes."
Raizel looked at Raskreia, with a defeated look, he stated, "I accept."
Raskreia head flew up, "Really?"
"Yes. If the children can come too."
"It is your festival."
"..."
The children looked at each other with confusion.
"The children?"
Regis answered for them, "You guys."
"Why do you call us 'children' We're all in highschool y'now."
"Because you're young."
"But you're the same age."
"..." Regis eyed them.
Rai felt some sort of de ja vu right then. For a second he stared at them when Yuna snapped him out of his thoughts.
"Really we can go?"
"Yes. I will tell Frankenstein to prepare an airplane for you."
"You have an airplane? Well I suppose you are on par with the Lord so of course you're wealthy… but how come we never knew of this?"
"..."
Suyi broke the silence, "Oh c'mon guys, this is Rai we're talking about."
The others agreed, "True."
Ans so, Raskreia had accomplished her mission...and officially surpassed her father.
