Chapter 333

Seeing that Gu Chen did not have obvious resistance, Varka knew that this kid should not be hating it, but wanted to wait two years before talking about it.

Varka smiled: "Being young is just right to have an unforgettable youth!"

"You seem to know a lot?" Gu Chen sneered.

Varka was silent for a moment before saying: "You don't understand, a person like me must dedicate my whole life to the Knights!"

"Are you sure you can't find one?" Gu Chen was puzzled.

"Get out, get out, get out!"

Varka said unhappily: "Stinky kid, you speak so harshly!"

……

In the blink of an eye, a month passed.

Nothing major happened during the month.

Worth mentioning, besides Klee getting familiar with the Knights, is Gu Chen's upcoming coming-of-age ceremony.

Nobles attach great importance to coming-of-age ceremonies.

Although Gu Chen is not from a noble background, his status has obviously reached the top of Mondstadt, and Varka also attaches great importance to this successor to the Grand Master position.

Today, the entire Knights is a scene of liveliness.

The knights firmly believe that the boy who has served as the chief instructor of the Knights since he was eight years old and then promoted to Vice Grand Master will be able to lead the Knights to develop more brilliantly after coming of age.

Every knight believes this.

Morning.

The three major noble families that have been passed down in Mondstadt for a long time have already arrived.

Although the Lawrence family is not liked, they must be present for such a day.

In the crowd, Schubert Lawrence was whispering to a young girl.

"Although I disdain making such a decision, Eula, if you hook up with that man, the glory of the Lawrence family will be restored!" Schubert's face was filled with excitement that could not be concealed.

The girl named Eula rolled her eyes, and she was completely indifferent to these words.

The nobles who arrived brought their daughters if they had any, and the meaning was self-evident.

Although Frederica had already received some news from Varka, she was still worried.

Her daughter is excellent enough, but who among those present is not excellent?

"Must urge her properly." Frederica thought silently.

While thinking, Bishop Seamus of the Favonius Church had also arrived with Barbara.

Seamus and Frederica were once husband and wife, so he naturally knew Frederica's thoughts. He neither supported nor opposed it, everything followed fate.

The two stood together with a little distance, and Jean and Barbara stood beside their parents respectively.

Jean looked at Barbara, whose eyes were dodging, and was hesitant to speak.

She actually wanted to get closer to her sister, but Barbara didn't seem to think so?

Or is it because they were separated when they were too young, and both sides are just strangers who are slightly familiar?

Jean was a bit helpless, looking at the lively scene in the hall, she could only put this thought aside.

As time passed, it soon reached noon.

A coming-of-age ceremony marks a person's transition from a teenager to an adult, which is a stage of life.

Gu Chen didn't care about these, but Varka attached great importance to it, specifically telling Gu Chen to change into a set of clothes and appear in the hall with a new attitude.

"The protagonist of today is here!" Varka laughed.

Gu Chen walked into the hall at a steady pace.

The black short hair looked like it had just been trimmed, and on his tall body was a black windbreaker with the Knights' emblem as an embellishment. Following the open windbreaker, inside was a white shirt. As he walked, the hem of the clothes lifted, and one could vaguely see his well-proportioned figure.

Down from the black tie were slim black trousers, and further down were a pair of leather knight boots.

Gu Chen did not carry a sword today, and nodded to everyone with a faint smile on his face, his temperament like a gentle and elegant noble young master.

If he carried a sword, he would really be like the cold Vice Grand Master described in that novel.

Thinking of this, Jean's face flushed red.

Barbara pursed her lips as she looked at Gu Chen.

Alice had suggested that she become an idol, and even tried to make Barbara an idol.

Undoubtedly, Barbara rejected Alice's proposal.

Now seeing Gu Chen, Barbara couldn't help but think that Vice Grand Master Gu Chen was probably an existence like an idol.

Seamus lowered his eyes and looked at his little daughter, silently saying nothing.

Barbara rarely had contact with Gu Chen, and only had a few opportunities to see him from afar.

For countless people who, like her, only had the opportunity to see Gu Chen from afar, Gu Chen was like a person without flaws, excellent to the extreme.

Now Barbara was also at the age of a young girl's spring thoughts, and it was hard not to be moved when facing such an excellent person without flaws.

It's just...

Seamus looked at his eldest daughter without a trace, his heart was a bit complicated.

"Before this, Gu Chen told me not to complicate simple things, and I thought about it and felt it made sense."

Varka smiled and said: "Then let's keep it simple, someone, bring the cake!"

As the words fell, several knights pushed a cart that was not small, and on the cart was a huge cake, with eighteen layers.

The huge-sized cake was very exquisite, with many carefully drawn patterns on it.

There was the time when the baby was picked up by Varka.

There was the time when he lived with Varka.

There was the time when he defeated an adult knight at a young age.

There was the time when the whole group was looking forward to him when he served as chief instructor.

There was the time when the knights cheered and celebrated when he served as Vice Grand Master.

The pattern on the top layer of the cake was Gu Chen standing in the center, surrounded by countless knights like stars around the moon.

"Kid, you've come of age, I hope you can take over my shift soon." Varka's eyes were filled with gratification, and he raised his hand to pat Gu Chen on the shoulder.

Gu Chen looked at the pattern on the cake, then at Varka, and said for a long time: "I won't let you down."

"Oh roar! Now it's cake cutting time~"

Diluc yelled strangely, holding a small knife and opening his mouth with a smile.

"No!"

Kaeya stepped forward to stop him, giggling and saying: "How can we not sing a birthday song?"

"Exactly, exactly, we have to give the Vice Grand Master some sense of ritual, right?"

"You have to make a wish for your birthday!"

"The Inspector General is too anxious, but don't be anxious yet!"

"I wonder what wish the Vice Grand Master will make?"

Guests and knights booed one after another.

Diluc and Kaeya immediately turned off the lights and lit eighteen candles.

Varka coughed twice and said: "Who will start?"

After looking around, Varka's eyes fell on Jean and said: "Jean, you start!"

"Ah?"

Jean, who was watched by so many eyes, was very uneasy.

She was not a socially anxious person, but the Grand Master specifically picked her out from so many people... Is this a coincidence?

"Jean, don't be stunned." Lisa reminded with a smile.

"Sister Jean, start quickly, Klee wants to eat cake~" Klee urged with expectation.

"Alright..."

Whether it was because of the candlelight or other reasons, Jean's face was flushed.

After she started, everyone sang a birthday song.

"Make a wish quickly!" Varka pushed Gu Chen.

Gu Chen looked around, everyone was singing, and their faces were full of expectation.

So many people celebrated his birthday, and Gu Chen was moved for a moment.
