Chapter 137 – After the Party
After talking with Countess Glorious upstairs, we went downstairs to the banquet hall again.
In fact, it is safe to say that all of the business of participating in this party was completed with this.
Her face was also reflected, so I could just go home like this, but since it was obvious that Ozma would be disappointed, I decided to wait a little longer.
“It’s been a while. Chief Treasurer. And Governor General.”
By the way, it wasn’t just royalists who took part in this party.
First of all, there were quite a lot of pro-Mafa figures, and it was safe to say that this was because Countess Glory Earth invited all her influential people without sharing her political inclinations.
They came to laugh hahahoho and fart in order to look good to us, the head of the Governor-General of Oz.
To be honest, it wasn’t too annoying, but I needed to accept their flattery in moderation in order to maintain my political stance.
Instead of Ozma, who must have been tired from working all week, I became a shield and dealt with them.
Unlike usual, Ozma, who was wearing a dress, looked around to see if it was uncomfortable to stand still, then went to an empty chair and sat down.
Keeping that figure in my field of vision, I appropriately sent the pro-Mapo personnel back, then approached quietly and asked.
“What’s wrong? Are your feet hurting?”
Then Ozma scratched his cheek and nodded, perhaps embarrassed.
“Little?”
Since he had never worn high heels, his feet seemed to get tired easily.
Even if we pretended not to be, we were worried about the eyes of the people around us, so we decided to go out to the balcony for a while.
When I went out to the balcony connected to the banquet hall and closed the thick glass door, the sound from inside and outside was completely cut off and the whole area became silent.
Said Ozma, leaning against the railing of the balcony.
“Honestly, I was a little embarrassed.”
I shrugged her shoulders and agreed with her.
“That’s me too.”
Both of us were people who had nothing to do with politics until we sat in high positions in the Government-General.
Now, if I show weakness, I’m sure I’ll stick a knife in my back, so I’m pretending to be strong as much as I can, but assuming this life lasts for a few more years, I won’t last very long.
It is usually said that status makes a person, but in the end, no matter how high the status is, there are cases where it fits or does not fit depending on the person’s personality.
We are clearly in the latter category.
I sat down at her feet and said.
“Take off your shoes.”
Then Ozma obediently took off her shoes and put her own foot out.
Her legs, wrapped in her white stockings, were swollen at the tips of her toes.
It’s probably because of poor blood circulation.
I asked as I carefully massaged her toes.
“How is it? Cool?”
Then Ozma put her hand over her mouth and she said, “Yes, yes. Just a little bit harder.”
Your voice is strangely bewitching, so if someone hears it, they’ll know that we’re secretly doing something stern.
Anyway, whether anyone heard or not, I gave her a massage while pressing hard on her soles and toes.
I stood up for the last time putting the shoes back on her feet.
“It’s a little hot.”
“Really? Come here and stand still. There’s a pretty cool breeze blowing.”
I followed her Ozma’s advice and stood leaning against her railing next to her, taking in the gentle breeze blowing from her.
It’s definitely a cool breeze.
The sweat from massaging her feet was pleasantly washed away.
Being so still, it felt as if time had stopped.
I asked while looking up at the stars densely packed in the night sky.
“Come to think of it, it’s already been close to three years since we met.”
“That’s right. When we first met, I didn’t know we would be like this.”
The first time we met was right after I had just converted to the demon lord’s army.
A cartoon-like development of the cheeky demon, whom Camilla met by chance while visiting the castle, turned out to be a woman dressed as a man.
After that, she became a friend of hers, and at a martial arts tournament held in Dragon Mountain, she first confessed to her and had sex with her for the first time.
It took some time for him to open up to Ozma, but a lot has happened in the past three years.
I looked at Ozma standing next to her.
Unlike her usual light make-up, her purple bobbed hair with her slightly wavy made her look like a princess in her classy style.
What’s inside of her is the same as the Ozma I know, only her outer appearance has changed.
To be honest, I liked the usual Ozma better.
It’s nice that there’s a gap now, but you’ll probably get tired of seeing it every day.
When I expressed my thoughts frankly, Ozma laughed incredulously.
“Puha, are you an idiot? Where do you like a young man like me?”
“If you like me, including that, isn’t it a real fiancé?”
At least it wasn’t that I fell in love with her just by looking at her appearance.
Even after he had an inferiority complex as a child, he fell in love with Ozma, who constantly tried to overcome it.
Well, that’s not something that a piece of trash living with four women under one roof would say.
Hearing me, Ozma blushed slightly in her face. She did and stretched her, she said as she slapped her body on the railing.
“Looks like you’ve had enough wind, so let’s go inside her now.”
“Yes. Since we came all the way here, we should dance at least once.”
As I said that, I held out her right hand, and Ozma grinned and took my hand.
“If I don’t play well, will you understand?”
“I see you doing it.”
“What is it.”
As Ozma said, she tapped me on the shoulder, but then she leaned back with a happy smile on her face.
“I always feel it, but making you my fiancé is like the best thing I’ve ever done in my life.”
***
The party, which lasted until late at night, ended around 10pm.
It is time for drunken people to come out, and for the men and women with whom they met to go back to their homes to whisper love.
She thanked everyone at the end of the small Glorious Marginal Party, which clearly achieved her original goal of debuting as a socialite.
“I would like to express my gratitude to all the guests who participated in the party held by my family today. As Earl of Glorious, I will continue to work hard so as not to become a nuisance to the family’s name. May everyone rest in peace.”
Match! Match! Match! Match! Match! Match!
Upon hearing her farewell, the aristocrats all applauded like thunder.
It was the same for me and Ozma.
When I first came, I was slightly offended because of the Royalists, but I had good memories afterward, so I thought I would remember today’s party forever.
It was because I was able to see Ozuma’s cute expression, which is hard to see.
We stood in a corner and watched the people leave the banquet hall like the ebb tide.
The same was true of Vanessa and Camilla, who silently stood by us.
When most of the guests had left and only the mansion’s attendants and maids remained in the originally noisy banquet hall-
We called the butler who passed by and asked.
“Is Count Glorious already in bed?”
“Yes. Why are you asking about that…?”
“No. I think I should explain the circumstances.”
As I said that, I pulled out a piece of paper that I had put in my bosom.
“This is a list of the names of the nobles involved in contempt of the Governor-General and treason of the state. As you can see, many of the royalist figures who participated in the party today are included, so the area around the mansion is already completely surrounded by police from the Police Department. “
“What is that?”
“Probably, all the nobles on this list have been taken to prison by now. Well, among them, there may be those who prove their innocence and are released, or conversely, end their lives because their sins are revealed.”
“…If you do something like that without any discussion, how will people in the world know our family?”
“No matter how innocent you are, you’ll think I’m a friend of the map. That’s why I’m asking for your understanding in advance.”
As I said that, I spoke to the decrepit butler with cold eyes.
“Please tell the master over there. It’s better to support the Government General before it’s too late. Most of the disobedient monarchists will be wiped out anyway after tonight, so there’s no need to worry.”
The butler listened to me and swallowed.
“Did the Royalists deliberately leave it alone?”
I shrugged and answered.
“There’s no reason to answer that question, but… I’m afraid you won’t be able to sleep tonight, so I’ll tell you. That’s right. So far, it’s better to say that I’ve kept it alive because I needed it.”
Because it had just become a colony, the royalist faction played a role in keeping them in check so that the pro-mafa faction could not gain power in the chaotic political situation.
However, as independent groups sponsored by royalists have begun to show signs of radical behavior in Oz, it would be appropriate to organize it.
“After two years of frugal use, don’t you think it makes sense to slowly return it to nature?”
To be honest, I think this is self-inflicted.
In the end, what the royalists have done for their own benefit will end up strangling themselves.
We were the last to leave the banquet hall with the words to say hello to Count Glorious.
The police, who were already waiting outside the mansion, were arresting key members of the Royalists, and colorful lights flashed everywhere.
I waved my hands as I came down the stairs at the entrance of the mansion, as if I were a musician conducting an orchestra.
Eventually, after coming down all the stairs and stepping on the ground, I turned around and asked.
“How is it? How do you feel about today’s party?”
Then Ozma smiled brightly at me.
“It was great.”
