He swallowed and fixed his gaze at him when he approached him and welcomed them , The young man extended his hand to Yami and greeted him before leaving with everyone through Bob Gate to the royal palace.

Yami was still looking at him as he left, he sensed something familiar from him, shook his head to get these thoughts out of him , Perhaps there was something familiar he felt about him, but there is a clear resemblance between the king and that young man  he inherited his grandfather sharp brown eyes.

Charlotte noticed yami nervousness as he looked at that young man, she also noticed that he was different from the rest, "Is everything OK ?" she whispered to Yami.
“Yes,” he replied, as he followed them to leave the place.

In a royal palace, tables were set up to celebrate this occasion, and all went well.
Akemi was accompanying William, Masaru came with Asta, and Aiko came with her mother.
Aiko noticed that the new young man had left the hall without anyone noticing, so she followed him until she found him on the balcony.

"You shouldn't be alone in a new place, you might get lost"
A young man noticed her and sighed, "I thought I ran away without anyone seeing me".
“It seems boring to have to deal with so many people” , Aiko said standing by his side.
"More than you can imagine, and what brings you here?".
“I am a magical knight, we must take care of your safety”.
"Aren't you too young for this?"
"Who is the little one? Speak for yourself, I'll turn 18 this year," Aiko said angrily, with a frowning face.
"I am 23 years old"
"You only 5 years older than me and you say about me little one ,  then Listen this little girl will be responsible for protecting you and accompanying you while you are here , I will ask the wizard king for this particular mission to show you how strong I am".
Aiko said that while putting her hand on her waist with a sullen face.
He laughed at her and extended her hand to her, " my name is Philip, I'm glad you're my bodyguard".
"I'm Aiko sukehiro, a magic knight of the Blue Roses Squad , I'll make sure to protect you" , Aiko smiled as she shook his hand.
  Philip frowned when he heard her family name and asked her to come back inside, Aiko did not understand why he had suddenly changed.

Inside it was almost over when they entered and most of the people left the place, when there was a conversation between a wizard king and the cedar king.

"Well, we will let our strongest knights accompany your grandson, and one of the captains will protect you majesty" .

"It's better to be strong, I don't want anything bad to happen to my grandson".
