Revenge Hero BAD END 66

Chapter 66 – #16 Banquet Night, a Storm Rages (2)

Rattle! With a sound, the carriage stopped.

The resounding neighing of the horse threw Emilia out of her reminiscence.

“You have arrived.”

Emilia looked closely at Count Meln as she crossed her arms and spoke.

There are many things to take care of though.

For now, I have to properly perform my acting as Count Meln’s partner as requested by Count Meln.

Let’s focus…

“… Won’t you come down?”

She is waiting for his escort,
Somehow, as if Count Meln had no intention of moving her, he was just looking at her with her arms crossed.

Are you waiting for something?

Why are you looking at me like that?

“Before you get off, change your clothes.”

Outfit?

She said that the dress Emilia was wearing was chosen by Count Meln.

What else is she doing because she is uncomfortable with choosing herself? This is why I hate difficult people.

Clap clap, as Earl Meln clapped his hands a couple of times, the shadow cast over Emilia’s feet suddenly swelled,
Soon, with a shudder, the succubus Mona appeared.

She wondered why she didn’t get into her carriage, but she was immersed in her own shadow.

“Yep! This is the master’s servant Mona. Did you call?”

“As I instructed, fix Emilia’s outfit. Are you okay?”

“No problem. Anything is possible. I’m the master’s competent attendant!”

“Huh. Go ahead.”

Mona replied in a pleasant and pleasant voice to Count Meln’s words,
Immediately, she clung to Emilia, who was flustered because she didn’t know what she was thinking, and clung to her, wriggling her hand.

A small scream echoed from inside the carriage,
Unfortunately, neither the screams nor the cries for help were blocked by Mona’s barrier and could not flow outside her.

* * *

Emilia, who was forced to change her robe by Mona,

She subsequently descended from her carriage under the courteous escort of the Earl of Meln, and entered the palace.

The doorkeeper she passed by as she entered the imperial palace, and the occasional nameless aristocrats who stood out as well, couldn’t take their eyes off Emilia when she passed by.

Their eyes contained feelings of joy and envy at seeing the rumored hero in person.

Right now, Emilia couldn’t help but feel as if her eyes were mocking her, and she felt ashamed all over again.

“Emilia, shouldn’t you keep your head down like that? Are you the ‘Hero’ that everyone envy? Please raise your head more confidently.”

“… Rubbish.”

“The ‘Hero’ that everyone envy doesn’t say such things. Even more so when it comes to a precious benefactor you trust.”

“…”

If only I could
He would have snatched the knife from the guard who was just passing by and plunged it into Count Meln’s heart at once.

However, I couldn’t do that, so I just imagined tearing the Earl of Meln into a hundred or a thousand pieces,
As per his request, Emilia confidently raised her head.

But her cheeks, flushed with shame, did not subside.

The main entrance hall of the imperial palace boasted a splendid and majestic brilliance comparable to the exterior of the building.

Pillars of jewels scattering golden and silver brilliance, and the flames of candlesticks lined up in such a way that the eyes sparkled.

Alabaster statues of deities were lined up on both sides of the aisle, which felt a sense of openness.

There weren’t many opportunities to come to the imperial palace, so even though it was still only an entrance hall, several nobles stopped to examine the majestic structure of the hall.

This person or that person, everyone from a noble family dressed up in fancy and luxurious costumes.

Of course, Emilia would excel if she excelled them, but she was dressed in a beautiful and flamboyant dress that was by no means inferior.

… No, that’s it

It must have been.

“This… What… !”

I’m sure she had been wearing the dress he had chosen for her until she came here by carriage a little while ago.

But before getting off her carriage, Mona, summoned by Count Meln, took off the dress she was wearing It would just peel off at once.

They said it was all orders from Count Meln.

Thanks to that, Emilia is able to wear Naked, not wearing a single thread, Now standing here.

In the middle of the entrance of the noble Imperial Palace.

In this space where many nobles and attendants passed by.

Like a prostitute, or like a sinner somewhere…
She is walking around naked, unable to cover her precious places.

“It’s okay, my love. Because of Mona’s magic, other people will only see you wearing the dress you just a moment ago.”

“…”

“Of course there will be magicians in the banquet hall, but
It’s not a tolerable demon, and if it’s Mona’s magic, even those idiots won’t notice.
… So don’t worry, my love.”

At Earl Meln’s comforting words,

Emilia just glanced at him with her sharp eyes filled with resentment and hatred.

“So, how does it look to you?”

“That’s right, I can only see your beautiful naked body as if your eyes are blind.”

“… It would be nice if my eyeballs burst.”

I don’t know how it may be to other people, but to Count Meln, it means that it looks the way it is.

Was it so much fun to see Emilia like this?
It’s annoying to see him smirking even when he’s still from a while ago.

However, since I cannot show irritation in this precious place,
He straightened up his expression quickly and just calmly gazed at the front.

“Come on. … I knew you wouldn’t be able to change because it’s what you do anyway.”

“Huh, indeed my love. That’s good guts. Shall we go then?”

Accompanied by Count Meln’s escort, Emilia proceeded through this spacious and needlessly luxurious imperial palace.

* * *

No matter how you look to others, you are actually naked anyway.

As a result, she was able to experience various uncomfortable things directly with her body.

As a simple example,
Since she is not wearing clothes, she is sensitive to the flow of air or the blowing of the wind.
Even if someone just passes by your side, you get very nervous.

In addition, there is a feeling of excessive openness,
When I go up the stairs or when I move forward, I keep getting nervous because my chest fluctuates.

Thanks to this and that factor, it felt like mental fatigue was piling up one after another just to reach the banquet hall.

“It’s fun.”

When Earl Meln laughed and muttered that,
I really wanted to hit my stomach hard, but it was a pity that I couldn’t.

After following the guide and climbing the splendid grand staircase several times, I was able to arrive at the large hall, the banquet hall of the day.

There should still be some time left before the appointed time.

However, the already crowded hall was also equipped with splendor befitting an imperial palace.

A magic stone lamp in the form of a chandelier is installed on the high ceiling to illuminate the hall with soft light.

Many long tables were lined with luxurious food and drinks suitable for noble people.

Even more food will be brought in after the banquet formally begins.

Emilia involuntarily swallowed at the atmosphere typical of a socialite.

It was the first time for Emilia to be in a position like this.

Only those who have undergone a coming of age ceremony can attend such a formal banquet in this country.

Emilia ran away from her mansion before her coming-of-age ceremony, and since she lived in secret,
This is the first time she experiences her aristocratic socialite.

‘Her first socialite debut naked… You really are my seller…’

She cast a resentful glance at Count Meln, who was standing next to her, but
He still smiled brightly and took Emilia’s hand and headed towards the center of the hall.

The crowd of people, discovering the figure of Emilia in her, all of her shut her mouth or start talking to each other in whispers.

It was because everyone here had already heard that ‘that’ hero was coming to today’s banquet.

The fact that the woman whom Count Meln escorts is the hero.

Thanks to that, everyone’s eyes were on Emilia.

Seeing her raging gaze, Emilia involuntarily wanted to sit down hugging her body, but
She couldn’t because of her Earl of Meln holding her own hands together.

In the first place, in their eyes, Emilia would look like she was wearing a dress.

If Emilia suddenly did something bizarre like that, everyone would look suspiciously at her.

‘Eww… Aww~~~!
Gee, do you really look like a dress in the eyes of those people? But why is everyone looking at me like that?
Why are you staring at me like a dragon has appeared in the middle of the city!’

It’s because you’re a warrior I’ve heard about.

And above all, as Emilia always takes pride in,
Everyone is surprised that she is a very beautiful-looking maiden who resembles her mother.

The grace that comes out just by walking.

Her back and posture were proud and upright, as if a thread descended from the sky was attached to the top of her head.

Behind her, I could see a glittering halo, and around it, it was fantastic, like glittering gold dust falling.

… Of course, except for her posture, it was an illusion of Mona’s magic, but at least those in the hall didn’t know about it.

Anyway.

Nobles continued to enter the hall while people were paying attention, and some were sneaking around, trying to figure out when to talk to them.

『――Welcome, gentlemen. You really did well today.”

The voice that resounds resoundingly then.

The voice amplified by magic instantly resonated throughout the hall.

The eyes of all those who had been busy turning their eyes for political reasons all along,
Now we headed towards the back of the large hall.

Standing there was a blond-haired man who seemed to have melted the sunlight in the sky.

He is a handsome man with a long beard and a stocky body that is not enough to be called a military man.
He was smiling brightly, catching everyone’s gaze.

Brilliant glossy blond hair and beautiful golden eyes that were darker than that.
He is also tall.

Atop his head was a crown studded with splendid jewels.

In this country, only people from the imperial family have golden eyes.

It is said to be the influence of some divine protection, and it is said that if any person marries a member of the imperial family, the child will be born with golden eyes.

In other words, that man right now is…

『Thank you very much for gathering like this today for Jim’s birthday, this Kalik Launtum Romancia!』

That man was the emperor of this empire.
