薔薇堡建立在伊魯尼亞丘陵的山腰上，主體採用了潔白的大理石和堅固的花崗岩建構而成。建築者為著名的矮人工匠之手，建築年齡已有接近數百年的時間雖有定時清理但城牆上長有濃密的常春藤，雖在帝國全境內薔薇堡的規模已排不上榜。然而它仍充滿著活力。

「哥哥！你又來了！」
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7h8ZTG9k2v
兩名孩子所居住的房間位於薔薇堡的正中央十字架形狀的塔樓中，四面被城牆和其餘建築所包覆在位置上除了保護孩子外還可以給小孩充足的獨立空間而塔樓也被稱為翡翠塔。
兩名孩子都長了與母親相似的鮮紅色頭髮，希魯克繼承了父親的祖母綠雙眼而菈妮則繼承了母親的水藍色雙眼。
此刻希魯克正拿著菈妮珍藏的書本奔跑在走廊上，而菈妮則是在後方追逐著，兩人的體能菈妮略勝一籌。
周圍經過的僕人對此也已見怪不怪，小孩子會有調皮形容本就是天經地義。若兩名少爺小姐沒有生命危險幾人都不會阻止，不對……就算想阻止恐怕也無能為力，身份的差異若一個不小心弄傷孩子這份工作也不用做了。在這棟樓中能夠阻止兩人的只有……

「萊希爾女僕長！」
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnb1KRB8SuW
萊希爾女僕長留有一頭黑色的捲曲短髮，頭上的一對貓耳顯示了她獸人族的身分。此刻的她雖穿著黑白女僕裝，卻可以從她琥珀黃色的眼睛中感受到身經百戰戰士所發出的殺氣。萊希爾直屬於卡塔蓮娜，因應主人的要求萊希爾在尊重孩子的同時具有懲處權，168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeChSVcCLyu

168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfep6DNjXEP
「那……那個！」
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO850c9gg64
還未等希魯克說完從後方追來的菈妮從後方奪回了自己的書本，並在離開前喊道：
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNb1q3nSi0
「萊希爾小姐，請妳好好教訓哥哥。」
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MxakeMlCF
「收到了，大小姐。」
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVx9AyCcIm9

自希魯克有意識以來從未見過自己的父親一面，雖然母親也因為騎士等工作常處於外地然而偶爾還可以見上幾次面。與父親卻僅有以書信往來偶爾信中會附上來自各種地方的禮物，因此希魯克總在腦中幻想父親的模樣以及那個無法回來與兄妹會面的工作。168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArwy4BPnmK

萊希爾拿起半身鏡，鏡中顯示著希魯克的模樣。身上穿著鮮紅色袖口燙著金邊的禮服以及一條潔白的窄口褲，雖然尺寸小的有些喘不上氣限制了希魯克的動作然而卻感受不到一絲悶熱。
禮服雖然不是最高級的，但若單論參加宴會已經足夠了。對於衣裝沒有太大需求的希魯克點了點頭表示肯定。
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWekxba5aC2

薔薇堡宴會廳位在翡翠塔的東方與城門口對望，在希魯克的印象中宴會廳曾開過兩次。一次是近期為慶祝新王登基所設的宴會，當時來了很多穿著華麗衣服的貴族、食物是由外面來的廚師烹飪的、樂手演奏的舒服音樂，在那次宴會中希魯克與一名少女跳了一支舞。168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNIbw3x8RU

而第二次開放便是今天......此刻宴會廳的巨大木門已被推開通道被鋪上紅色長毯，長毯兩旁站著身穿擦得閃閃發亮盔甲的蒙面士兵，鎧甲上的徽記顯示他們是母親大人所領導的「緋紅」騎士團的成員，騎士們舉著印有家徽的藍色旗幟而客人們則穿過旗幟走進宴會廳。本次宴會除了邀請地方貴族外還邀請了亞斯鎮的鎮民前來共享盛宴，因此參與者中有的穿著平裝有的穿著禮服。
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡka5CS7sFla
「萊希爾好久不見呀。」
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLMD6TX48k
就在兩人準備入場時，一道女聲叫住了兩人來者是「緋紅」騎士團副團長：萊梅．C．貝倫西斯。168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30PBHI6Tp5

對方除了是副團長外同時也是卡塔蓮娜的妹妹，也就是希魯克的阿姨。雖有血緣關係卻是一頭金髮而非紅髮，倒是與菈妮一樣有著水藍色的大眼。
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcgLc0hrqx
似乎是為了維護秩序，此刻的萊梅正穿著皮革製的胸甲腰上的佩劍則用紅色緞帶綁著劍鞘以確保安全。

168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQS2deCi8G
「怎麼啦？」
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG38JATuOhQ
僕人輕聲對著萊梅說了什麼後，萊梅露出為難的表情後轉頭對著希魯克兩人說道：
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPedXNcXVNA
「不好意思，有些事情要處理。小紅毛怪還有萊希爾小姐我就先離開了。」
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjrMQ5Nf7K
還沒來得及回應萊梅便跟著僕人走出了宴會廳。而接下來的時間都是由萊希爾帶著希魯克四處結識各種人們，當中有高傲的貴族、熱情邀約希魯克遊玩的小孩（被萊希爾以溫柔的語氣ㄧㄧ婉拒了）、想高歌一曲的吟遊詩人以及對希魯克行禮的士兵兵和平民。
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRTtORBSyx
「男爵卡塔蓮娜．F．貝倫西斯大人入場！」
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8nXSFTNMc
就在希魯克感到有些飢餓時，一名身穿紅袍白衣長著小鬍子的男人走進宴會廳並高喊道。語畢的同時6名鎧甲士兵以及萊梅。此時的萊梅臉上露著笑容手卻握著劍柄，希魯克也發現劍鞘上的紅色緞帶不知何時已經消失了。
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ67DU1t8U1
（是弄掉了嗎？）
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdiVUTzhyk
來不及多想希魯克的注意力立刻被入場的人……也就是自己的母親所吸引。母親的頭髮和記憶中一般如同火焰般鮮紅，此刻的母親也注意到了自己並朝著自己揮了揮手並露出甜笑。
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSpMiynQrC
「母親大人！」
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Fodgdy7ds
希魯克回應母親用力的揮手，而宴會也在卡塔蓮娜的演講中開始了。
然後按「加至主畫面」
