Nero had little desire to be a knight in the Order of the Sword, but he had no choice. Since he lived here with Kyrie and Credo, he did it just to be near them.

You, on the other hand, have just joined the Knights of the Sword. Your father was one of them, so you followed in his footsteps.

Of course you were just settling in and making new acquaintances, so you made friends with Kyrie. She was a friendly and kind girl, after all, and she was willing to help you settle in. She introduced you to a lot of people here, and of course Nero.

Nero wasn't very friendly to you, and mostly dismissed you with sarcastic or rude comments, but Kyrie reassured you that he just doesn't like new faces and will get used to you soon.

But the real reason for Nero's behavior was because he fell in love with you. He always thought he loved Kyrie, but when he saw you, that hunch was shattered immediately. But he just wanted to think that he was loyal to Kyrie and not to you.

It's been two months since you've been here. You've been training to be a knight, and you're good at it, and you're already very good with a sword. And today you were supposed to be practicing, but alas, there was an event at the church where the Knights of the Sword were supposed to be present, so you were there.

The only empty seat you saw when you went in was next to Nero. And resignedly you sat down next to Nero concentrating on what was going on.

Suddenly you were poked in the side by something, and when you turned around you saw a small gift box, and when you looked at Nero, he turned away, pretending to listen to music on his headphones.
