Chapter 609 – Ep.607 Tullius Empire
[Blue Jade Palace]
“Princess. “I’m ready.”
“I get it.”
The inside of the Cheongok Palace, the first of the five palaces where the envoys stayed, was very busy with princesses attending the ball and the subjects who followed them.
“… After all, wouldn’t it be better to take off the earrings?”
“Even if it’s uncomfortable, endure it. “It is a precious accessory that men in the system cannot obtain even if they pay a premium, so it will definitely attract the attention of the first prince and other high-ranking nobles.”
“Tsk…”
The country where Smith’s second hometown, Molingta, belongs.
Le Pinel, the first princess of the Kingdom of Vittorio, frowned one of her eyebrows and clicked her tongue.
“I wonder what meaning there is in the attention being focused on the earrings and not on me…”
“Even so, you have to catch their attention first.”
“Ha… I get it.”
Le Pinel stood up from her seat with a long sigh at the words of her personal attendant, who had assisted her since she was a baby.
This is because her turn to enter has quickly come.
“Your Majesty the Princess.”
“… Why again?”
At the call of her attendant, who caught her before she left the door, Le Pinel asked, much lighter and more relaxed than before.
Then her attendant opened her mouth with a very serious expression.
“You don’t have to be the first prince. “She’s already married, so if she likes it, she’ll just throw it away.”
“Stop, stop!! “Do you know how many times I’ve heard that story on the way here?”
“I’ve only told you eighty-five times, including just now.”
“Ha… Okay. I understand…”
“Your Highness said that she does not necessarily need to be brought in as a national treasure, so please at least receive seeds somehow…” …”
“I understand, so let’s stop now!! “If we continue like this, we’ll be late!!”
“Hmm. “Please go.”
Her attendant opened the door, and Le Pinel came out of her room with her eyebrows slightly furrowed.
“Lowering. “You are very cool.”
“As expected, our lord!”
“The savants of the island will not even be worthy opponents of the princess!”
As soon as Lepinel left the room, he heard the envoys who had finished preparing their preparations clattering around, and he sighed even more deeply and walked away at a brisk pace.
How long did it take to walk like that?
[The first princess of the Kingdom of Goldias. Princess Perticia de Goldias enters. ]
Just then, she could see her former maid, the princess of the Kingdom of Goldias, leading her troupe of envoys and entering her ballroom.
She said, ‘She took the surname of Goldias even though she did not have a drop of Goldias’ blood in her. ‘That’s funny.’
The story of the complete destruction of Goldias’ capital by cultists is a story so famous that no one knows about it.
In the process, not only the citizens but also the brainwashed nobles of major families and the entire royal family, including the king, were sacrificed.
Therefore, in order to choose a new king, the Kingdom of Goldias shed blood for another half a year, delaying repairs to the damage suffered by the cultists, and in the end, a new king was born.
‘He was originally a margrave.’
The margrave, who is most loyal to the king and must protect the border from foreign invasions, takes the throne.
If King Dillard, who went to the underworld, knew about this, wouldn’t he come crawling out of hell?
“Your Majesty the Princess.”
“… Okay.”
When all of Goldias’s personnel entered, Lepinel moved forward accompanied by his subjects.
“Let me know your position.”
“Yes. “Princess.”
The knight in golden armor cleared his throat for a moment.
[The first princess of the Vittorio Kingdom. Princess Lepinel de Vittorio is entering! ]
Her voice was noticeably louder than those who had entered a moment ago, and Le Pinel felt satisfied within her as she walked into her ballroom.
-Oh, what about those earrings?
-The eyes are a little fierce, but… Not bad.
-Vittorio… Was this the place where the Margrave of the Winter Sword was placed?
-The atmosphere itself is definitely different from the fake one I heard a while ago.
The noise coming from all directions wasn’t particularly bad, but it wasn’t particularly good either.
“Let’s spend today freely.”
“Yes. “Your Majesty the Princess.”
“I hope you meet a good person.”
“… “Shut up and get out now.”
After Le Pinel had sent her subjects away, she walked next to the other princesses gathered in front of the head table where today’s protagonist, the First Prince, would sit.
“It’s been a while. “Princess Lepinel.”
“This is the first time since the moon hunting competition two years ago. “Nilla.”
The second princess of the Jetua Kingdom, another kingdom bordering the country. Nila Jetua tucks her light brown hair behind her ear and shakes Le Pinel’s hand.
“You two still get along well.”
At their side is the first princess of the Philop Kingdom. Meryl Philoff approached, her curly blonde hair twisted and round.
“We’re neighboring kingdoms, so there’s no need for us to be on bad terms, right?”
“I’m the kind of person who would pull out a sword just by looking at your sister.”
“Well, it’s up to the next kings to gradually improve the relationship. “I’m not interested.”
“Anyway, you’re a cheap bitch.”
“But you still have a foul mouth. “Filov.”
“Isn’t this better than being pretentious?”
“That’s right.”
Meryl shrugged her shoulders, and Le Pinel chuckled and nodded her head.
“So. “How old are you?”
“Ah…”
Perticia, who was looking up at her chandelier hanging from the ceiling of her ballroom as if looking at a distant mountain with her mouth closed, was startled by Meryl’s sudden question and her shoulders shook.
“No, who catches what? “Why is she shaking her shoulders all of a sudden?”
“Hmm… “It’s a misunderstanding.”
“Damn misunderstandings. So how old are you?”
“… “I’m nineteen.”
“Wow, fuck. “You’re such a green age, right?”
“Meryl.”
“Oh, I’m sorry.”
At Le Pinel’s attention, Meryl and the nobles present began to murmur, and she closed her mouth with a cursory apology, her face not showing the slightest regret.
“But didn’t everyone come?”
Before there was an awkward silence, Nila quickly opened her mouth.
“I know. “She was the last one in the order, and it doesn’t look like anyone else is coming in.”
Her words were quickly picked up by Meryl, who had silenced her for a moment.
And at that very moment.
[The Third Star of the Empire. Marvius von Giel Tullius and the eighth star of the Ten Demons. Sir Adrian is entering together!! ]
At the knight’s loud cry, “Leave the ballroom,” The eyes of everyone gathered in the hall, including Lepinel’s, naturally turned to the entrance.
Togak─ Togak─
The sound of shoes gradually became clearer in the quiet ballroom.
‘That… Ten Demon Castles…’
Lepinel’s gaze did not fall on the short-lived Third Prince, who exuded strange elegance and dignity, but on the beastman woman who followed him in.
“… Fuck. “My skin feels numb.”
“I feel like I need to pee.”
Even though I just entered the ballroom, it felt like the air itself had changed.
Of course, it was a change that could only be felt by those who had reached a certain level, so the atmosphere in the actual ballroom was only a little more tense.
“But it’s not like you’re trying to seduce a guy, so why are you dressed up in a suit?”
“… Meryl. Shut up. “If you want to wear it on your neck for a long time.”
“Tsk… “This is why I didn’t want to come.”
She clicked her tongue at the sight of her men who had no idea what to do, and at the same time, she folded her ears and twitched her tail, expressing condolences in her heart to the beastman daughters.
“However… “Why aren’t you coming this way and are you at the entrance?”
“How do I know? “Anyway, we’d be grateful if you didn’t come this way.”
Even though we are still at a considerable distance, the pressure is no joke. Imagine being right next to you. It wouldn’t be surprising if he suffocated and died right now.
“Shit… “If I had known such a big name would come, I would have done whatever it took to not attend.”
Le Pinel also did not say a word, but he strongly sympathized with Meryl’s words.
If it wasn’t for the purpose of continuing the royal lineage, I wouldn’t have attended this event in the first place. But who would have thought that one of the nine most powerful men on the continent would suddenly attend the prince’s ball?
In this dangerous place where you never know what kind of accident might happen at any time because of the ignorant and talkative guys.
‘Are you planning to kill us by pretending it was an accident?’
Not only was it not an entirely absurd assumption, but the pressure that Lepinel and the princesses felt upon Adrian’s appearance was enormous.
[ Crown Princess Marviel von Luden Tullius, the first sun of the empire and the rightful heir to the throne, enters!! ]
The knight’s loud shout made the ballroom loud once again.
“Oh, fuck… “I don’t want to talk about politics.”
“I’m OK.”
“Fucking bitch.”
Of course, the princesses were also confused in another way.
Unlike the prince who had no real power, the princess was the next emperor and the next in real power after the emperor who was in a position to raise the military. Therefore, if she offended her, there would be nothing surprising even if she was retaliated against in some way. .
Togak─ Togak─
And just like before, the clear sound of shoes passed through the ballroom, and soon the Crown Princess appeared, her brilliant blonde hair tinged with sunlight.
‘… ?’
However, the crown princess did not come this way either, and Le Pinel began to have doubts as she stopped in front of the entrance like the third prince.
[The first star of the empire. Marvicus von Yul Tullius is entering!! ]
“And… Fuck…”
“Oh…”
An obscene curse came out of Meryl’s mouth, but Lepinel did not point it out. No, he failed to point out.
A face half-hidden by a slightly tilted hat.
A large body with wide shoulders that makes you have to look up for a long time.
An unknown man walks in behind an ordinary-looking blond man, wearing an elegant blue coat.
Exciting──!!
‘I would like one daughter and one son…’
It had been a long time since the prince had been erased from Lepinel’s mind.
