The Naming Ceremony started not too long after.
It was a boring event mostly filled with noble formalities and speeches.
As a member of one of the Six Noble Families, Richard had his own exclusive table, which he only shared with Neia. The two of them seemed like a small droplet of water in a huge vase, considering the space they had to themselves.
Other Families had an average of three aides, but he was the only one who brought a single one.
Richard felt like the odd one out, and he blamed his parents.
They hadn't given him any specific instructions regarding this event, and they simply told him not to stand out.
That was why he chose to be frugal and only have Neia come with him.
Apparently, it ended up having the opposite effect.
'Urgh… So many eyes are on me!'
Richard felt suffocated by the constant stares he received from different people.
