1 Chapter 1

"You've already graduate from the academy. Which agency will you pick?" Lancelot faced his sister with a serious face.

"Yours" answered Guinevere as she played with her cake.

Hehe. Otherwise, I don't have anyone to mess with.

The siblings were currently having a tea party at their garden, and discussing Guinevere's choice of path to take.

"As one of the members of the Baroque family, and nobles of this land, we have to uphold our reputation. We should not fail our family, and give them glory. Thus, I've decided that it would be easier to obtain those with your presence. And my progress in my magic's proficiency will improve leaps and bounds if you're with me, brother dear." Guinevere continued and smiled as she sipped on her tea, not even bothering to mask her intent of having Lancelot to be caught up again with her upcoming magic experiments.

Lancelot recognized that smile and couldn't help but shiver at the thought of what would his younger sister do to him once she'll be at the agency.

But even if he wished for her to join, she will get stumped in the agency, with nothing and no one to help her improve unless she'll be interested in fencing.

"There are a lot of agencies in the vicinity, and they have their own specialties. For instance, our family specializes in fencing, and also had an agency for the family members and fencers alike to join."

"I am a Baroque. And so I can join the agency"

He sighed helplessly. This girl is really... how did you even got the top spot in the academy?

He felt like his head is about to ache because of this person.

"However, even though you fit the first criteria, you don't do fencing but specializes in magic, so---"

"Yes, yes, I know. I have to choose an agency that is appropriate to my abilities and not on familial ties" she mimicked Lancelot's way of speaking, and then picked another cake.

"So, to help you choose another agency, I've gathered some information about renowned agencies that focuses on your specializations... " and he showed her a stack of papers with the agency name, pros and cons and the likes.

Be quick or else...

As she skimmed through the papers, she noticed that Lancelot seemed to be nervous and is constantly and impatiently looked at her, as if telling her to be quick.

"I can just do a lottery method to pick one" Guinevere stopped skimming, placed the papers back to the table, and answered him nonchantly.

"Don't be hasty with your decisions"

"I am serious"

But her actions speaks otherwise.

Guinevere kept on playing with her food while having a staring contest with her brother, and Lancelot got somewhat distracted with the sound of the utensils everytime she mashed up the cake.

"Could you stop playing with the food and choose properly?" he stared at the now unrecognizable cake.

"Oh. Are you perhaps impatient to return and see your beloved Odette?" countered Guinevere.

"..."

"Am I correct, dearest brother of mine?"

"..."

"If you won't answer then, I'll just stay here leisurely sipping my tea while slow~ly~ reading these papers one by one~"

"Fine, I have a meeting with her later. Happy?"

"It's not a meeting if it's with Sister Odette, it's a date"

Lancelot, who is now standing up and was about to leave, stopped and stared at her sister, not knowing what to say. Guinevere smiles as she lifted her teacup and takes a sip.

"Well then, you can leave me now brother. Don't let Sister Odette wait."

She sends off her brother with a smile and a wave, and the mini tea party ended with a Lancelot feeling defeated again to his little sister.
