142 – The Imperial Ball – (3)

Look around.

“Your Majesty, the sun is already in mid-heaven. Now is the time to get up.”

“hahahaha… ….”

“Doing so doesn’t solve the problem.”

“I know! I know!”

“You should come out if you know!”

With those words, Lucy grabbed and dragged the blanket that Lyncia had covered. But each time, the pulling force from the inside only grew stronger.

At the very least, it seemed clear that Lincia had no intention of seeing anyone.

How many days has it already been? It had been that way ever since Patriot Guard Fried Iscobal had declared that he would not attend the ball.

That must have been a big shock.

“Your Majesty.”

Lucy let out a small sigh and sat down next to the bed.

“I think that the Hoguk-gyeong also made that decision for His Majesty. So don’t worry too much.”

“… ….”

“Besides, just because Ho Kuk-gyeong is absent from the prom doesn’t mean the event itself is over, right? You expected it that way. You should enjoy the prom. I can never go out like this.”

“Ha, don’t do it.”

A mumbling voice leaked from inside.

Lucy smiled slightly and bowed his head.

“Face. Can I have a look?”

“… ….”

There was no answer.

Recognizing this as a sign of acceptance, Lucy pulled the edge of the blanket again.

There was no resistance. Before long, Lin Xia showed her face…….

“Lucy Hey!”

“Oops!”

With a crying scream, he jumped straight into Lucy’s arms.

I couldn’t see him well because I had my face buried in my chest, but since I had been stuck in my room without eating or drinking for almost two days, I looked like a beggar.

He had a scruffy face and even his clothes were stained.

“But Lucy! No matter how you think about it, it makes no sense! I was so good at it! I closed my eyes and even made an embarrassing noise!”

“Ha ha ha… ….”

“Anyway, Freed is the problem! It’s Fried’s fault!”

With those words, Lynxia continued to rub her face against Lucy’s chest while complaining.

It was true that the lord’s child-like appearance, which he hadn’t seen in a while, was a bit playful, but…….

“I’m not going to the prom. Don’t eat don’t even drink water I won’t even wear clothes. Will just die would die Don’t stop, Lucy!”

“…… Mmm.”

When she saw Lin Xia expressing her two words of despair, she soon gave up on that idea.

She didn’t know what would happen to her if she said one more word for fun.

In the end, Lucy just brushed Lynxia’s thick hair while holding on to her wry smile.

“But Your Majesty.”

“…… What.”

“You like Sir Fried?”

“… ….”

Lin Xia didn’t confirm or deny it, she just hugged Lucy and squeezed her face.

Each one of those reactions was so lovely that Lucy opened his mouth.

“Everything will be fine.”

“…… Really?”

“Yes. Really.”

As she affirmed that, Lucy pondered.

Hogukkyung. Fried Iscoval. She couldn’t be sure, as she had been watching his relationship with Lyncia for over several months.

Fried Escobal obviously likes Lyncia Ayrn.

That’s why Fried’s decision this time came as a surprise to Lucy as well. I didn’t think he was forced to keep his distance.

Lucy couldn’t figure out what the reason might be, so she just shrugged his shoulders.

“Well, that must be love.”

Muttered Lucy.

She’s never experienced it, but she’s read it in a book.

Because love always comes with hardships and hardships.

Just wishing the two of them eternal happiness, Lucy slowly stroked Lincia’s platinum hair.

For the past few weeks, it seemed as if a storm had passed through the imperial palace.

It meant that I was so busy that I couldn’t open my eyes.

First of all, they mobilized workers to rebuild the banquet hall that had been damaged by the attack of Aranion and the invasion of spirits, and filled up the cracks in various places. It also built camps for high-ranking nobles who would visit from far away.

Thanks to these efforts, the imperial palace regained its original vitality in the blink of an eye.

And as the ball got closer, countless nobles began to arrive in the capital one by one. Most of them seemed to have villas in downtown Sigrun, so they didn’t need extra security.

In the end, the guards and guards patrolled near the walls, including the drawbridge connecting the outer and inner walls, and the Capital Defense Forces strengthened the security posture on the outskirts of Sigrun in preparation for possible raids and armed clashes.

With that, the repetitive routine and work, the day of the Imperial Ballroom approached in the blink of an eye.

“Do you remember what I said before? Sir, I am dedicating myself to the mission I have seen here. To absolutely other nobles…….”

“How many times do you say that? I heard you well.”

“I have never acted upon what the Lord said.”

“It sucks.”

I think so.

“You don’t have to worry because I understood it clearly this time.”

In the end, when he reluctantly answered that, Coreld rolled up his signature seagull mustache and left.

I sat down, suppressing the urge to punch him in the back of the head.

In front of me was a gorgeously restored banquet hall. There was probably a luxurious banquet going on inside, but unfortunately I was sucking my fingers outside.

I drank the liquor Hartzfeld handed me to me while listening to the music coming from inside.

It’s taboo to drink alcohol while on duty, but it probably doesn’t matter. It wouldn’t be polite to refuse the drink the Grand Duke gave you.

As I savored the spicy scent that lingered in my mouth, I turned my head and saw a female knight with golden hair yawning.

“By the way, Milia, this is unexpected.”

“What is it?”

“I thought you would attend the prom.”

Milia, like me, decided to lead the Royal Guard instead of participating in the ball.

“That’s noisy.”

“Is that so?”

“I hate noisy things. I reluctantly attended last year, but I regretted it. Aren’t they flirting with strange men and getting drunk?”

“Hmm.”

Honestly, Milia is the owner of overwhelming beauty when viewed objectively. It is natural for men to be twisted.

Milia, who shook her head as if thinking of that time gave me disgust, stared at me.

Why? Also. What.

“Actually, one of the men… ….”

“I’m so sorry. I must have been crazy at the time.”

I apologized quickly.

I was able to notice without saying anything.

One of the men who flirted with Milia was Fried.

Fried This son of a b*tch, there is no room for extenuating circumstances for your past conduct.

Milia giggled at me like that.

“No. Because I was immature at the time too. I should have passed it like an adult.”

Millia shrugged her shoulders and continued.

“Actually, since I was young, my older sister suited me more than I did.”

“I definitely think so.”

“Maybe if my sister were in this position, she would just find a handsome man… ….”

Milia paused as she spoke, and she stared at a certain point. Soon, her expression began to rot like an insect had bitten it.

Let’s follow Millia’s gaze in her doubts.

“Ugh.”

“Ahahahaha! Mr. Fried! Leah! Long time no see!”

As expected, Archmage Seira Liantour was standing right in front of me.

She looked like a completely different person in her bright red dress and crystal jewelry.

Seira smiled and jumped onto my lap, which was sitting in her chair.

“Uh, why is Seira-sama here?”

“Why! She came to attend the prom.”

“No, of course it is.”

I said, desperately pushing Seira, who was trying to fall in love with me.

“Aren’t you supposed to be purifying the spirit realm at High Linx?”

Does it make sense that the continent’s most powerful mage is absent to attend a simple banquet?

Although Hylinx is in a mess because of Fedras’ plan.

I thought it would take more than a few months just for the probation.

Seira answered my question with a cute wink.

“Yes. Originally, it was like that, but it just came out!”

“…… Her.”

“Ha ha ha. I’m kidding. Actually, my father allowed it.”

“Golden Grand Duke, you mean?”

“Yes, yes.”

That’s unexpected again.

As I was surprised, Milia interrupted and elaborated on her explanation.

“Perhaps it means to find a son-in-law. Because her older sister has no experience with men to be close to 30. Very, very, very embarrassing.”

“Yaya, Millia. No matter what, if you say something like that in front of yourself…….”

“… ….”

That moment.

Paaah.

Mana began to flow from Seira, who sat on her lap, sending chills down her spine. The mana that flowed out in an instant began to cover the garden outside the banquet hall.

“Lia, have you grown up?”

“Well, her body is much bigger than her sister.”

Before I knew it, Seira was trembling with anger.

Likewise, Millia looked down at Seira with her sneer on her face, as if to try something once.

“Well, I think fighting is bad…….”

Of course no one listened.

Still, she thought that her sisters had gotten a little better lately, but at some point she was back to where she was.

Maybe it’s because of the diary.

She is restless about what to do in an imminent situation, but unexpectedly, it was Seira who collected her mana first.

Saira’s eyes curled gently.

“What~ That’s definitely true. Like Lia said, I’m a virgin. No wonder her father wants a suitable son-in-law.”

“…… Unni, did you eat something wrong?”

Milia widened her eyes.

But Seira didn’t care and continued her words.

“Leah, she’s right. She came to the prom somehow to get a man.”

The next moment, Seira wrapped her arms around her neck and pulled her back, then opened her mouth and grabbed her by the nape of my neck.

From noble mtl dot com

“Awesome.”

As the moist feel of the tongue touched her neck, a thrilling current ran through her body.

Seira bit me on the neck a few more times after that, then thrust her forehead into my chin.

“If the hunt for men fails again…… At that time, won’t Fried-kun take it? Still, if it’s Fried-kun, I can serve with devotion.”

“Eh?”

“Oh, what the hell are you talking about!”

Milia screamed in surprise.

However, Seira naturally shook her head.

“Hmm? What is it Why should Leah be angry?”

Only then did Seira laugh, exposing her small fangs as if it were a target.

“Or what, did you mean that you put saliva on it?”

“It’s not like that!”

In the end, Milia strode forward and we fought for a while trying to get Seira off me, and in the meantime, she was really dying for me.

Who was it? Did she say flowers in both hands?

This is it? Where are you looking?
