075. Justia Banquet (14)

again.

again.

again.

An elegant girl with shiny silver hair appears.

The sound of small heels echoed through the banquet hall.

A pure white dress follows her like smoke.

A graceful gait and graceful grace flowed.

It was so quiet that I couldn’t even breathe.

Even the sound of the piano playing in the background stopped.

Astonishment, bewilderment, disbelief, doubt.

Emotions filled in the gaze of the little girl.

The stunned nobles could not hide their bewilderment.

“… … Serena Joheiden… … .”

“I really came… … .”

“How could Joheiden be at Justia’s banquet… … .”

“I-I’ve never had anything like this before… … .”

Everyone was speechless and looked at the girl with shocked faces.

Most of the people here were nobles of the pro-Justia faction.

However, no one took Serena’s appearance lightly.

An enmity family that has been competing with Justia for a long time.

A duke so great that it is impossible to distinguish who is superior.

Because she was the youngest princess of Joheiden.

Serena, who had a determined expression, lifted her chin slightly and met her eyes with the red-haired girl.

The first to speak was the host of the banquet.

It was Iriel Justia.

“Lady Serena Joheiden.”

“Yes, Lady Iriel Justia.”

“What is a shabby person doing in this precious place?”

“I received an invitation to the banquet, so I came to accept it. This precious body personally to this humble place.”

under.

Iriel snorted and turned his head.

Pro-Justia nobles looked at him with expectant eyes.

I could feel that everyone was focusing on their conversation with Serena.

‘Chit, I can’t believe I can’t crush the flower garden here.’

Iriel raised one corner of his mouth and spoke softly.

“Is the way out over there?”

“Oh, it seems that it is the duchy of Justia to send an invitation and then kick it out right away? I have to learn from Joheiden as well.”

“It seems that Joheiden’s culture is to spit out such shameless words. We also have a lot to learn.”

The way they spoke to each other was aristocratic and feminine, but the words inside contained sharp knives.

Princesses exchange words without yielding a single word to each other.

“Serena Joheiden, do you really know what it means for you to be here?”

“Yes, I know very well. Joheiden and Justia, I broke that old unwritten rule.”

“You came here brazenly knowing that?”

“Yes, because the person I want to meet is here. What can I do? Since he is here, I had no choice but to come.”

ha.

“He’s really embarrassing.”

Serena sighed and shook her head as if she couldn’t help it.

“Are you talking about the person you want to meet?”

“Yes, and I also want to introduce myself to people. How precious that person is to me.”

Who is important to Serena Joheiden?

It was shocking that she appeared here, but the words that came out of her mouth were even more unusual.

The names of the 1st and 2nd princes, or high-ranking nobles, appeared in their heads one after another and then disappeared.

“So, I’m going to rent a seat and announce it. It’s annoying for me to gather people separately.”

“… … !”

“Why, is this much okay between us?”

Boo-benefit.

Iriel knows that the current situation is a thoroughly planned script.

However, seeing him sarcastic about using Justia’s banquet with a nasty expression like me, it actually felt like a thousand dollars were rising in my heart.

And that kind of reaction made Iriel’s acting very realistic. So much so that no one would notice that she and Serena were prearranged.

After a while, Serena looked around and stopped her eyes on one spot.

“Zeke Kleiman.”

Serena called Zeke by name.

“My benefactor.”

He smiled dazzlingly.

“Come by my side.”

Zeke trudged toward Serena at her call.

Then people’s eyes moved after him.

Zeke stood next to Serena with an expressionless face.

“I will also introduce you. A swordsmanship instructor at Ramiel Academy. This is Zeke Kleiman.”

Serena spread her arms wide.

“This is the benefactor who saved me from a life-threatening situation when I was attacked by monsters on the way to enroll at Ramiel Academy.”

As I look around the audience, I can read various facial expressions.

“Therefore, to those gathered here, in my name.”

– Instructor

“In the name of my family.”

– What will happen if you touch it?

“I announce that I will protect Zeke Kleiman.”

– think carefully. Justia.

* * *

“Benefactor… … ?”

“The author… … . The rumored swordsmanship instructor, Zeke Kleiman.”

“Black hair, black eyes, looks like a Northern nobleman.”

“… … Hey, don’t you look young yet? Does that mean I became a faculty member at Ramieli Academy?”

“I heard there is Miss Iriel Justia in that class, and there is also the 2nd Prince?”

“I heard that Prince 1 will also attend indirectly.”

“no wonder… … . Earlier, I saw Prince 1 and that man talking.”

After Serena’s shocking announcement, a brief awkward silence passed.

Iriel ordered music to be played quickly as if trying to rectify the situation, and then the people gathered were busy talking about Zeke Kleiman with a buzz.

The youngest person to become an instructor at Ramielli Academy.

The one who didn’t reveal his face even at the entrance ceremony.

2 Let’s beat up the prince.

1 A person who has connections with the prince.

Rumors about the well-known Zeke had been spreading before, but

This was the first time he had come forward and revealed his face like this.

A younger-than-expected appearance and a cold atmosphere.

no more than that.

[Why, did you make this announcement in Justia? ]

As if he had waited, he appeared right at the start of the prom

I expected her to come to spoil the banquet.

So I thought I would bring up a story about the imperial family or even provoke Justia

I couldn’t help but question it all over again.

However, the people of Justia who knew the situation had no choice but to be flagship.

In particular, Hades, who was planning to contact Zeke a little later, hardened his face.

‘Zeke Kleiman is Joheiden’s benefactor? But, Zeke is definitely… … .’

She glanced at Iriel, but it seemed that she was also unexpectedly biting her lip.

‘That guy used Joheiden as a shield to avoid Justia’s pursuit… … . To protect Miss Iriel… … . However, things get twisted like this.’

I decided to keep Zeke on Ramiel anyway, but this was a condition to maintain proper contact.

However, things got complicated when Serena intervened.

Since Yoheiden came out to protect him, even light contact became difficult.

‘Damn it. We should have met and talked earlier.’

In the meantime, it was a failure to put Zeke behind while tracking down the ＜Lost Hope＞ guys.

At that time, the first prince was seen approaching Iriel.

“Iriel Justia.”

“Yes, First Prince.”

“Will you accept the dance request?”

1st Prince, who held out a hand and asked Iriel to dance.

However, the stiff expression seemed to have a different purpose.

“Yes, I like it.”

Anyway, the first prince’s request for a dance gives a good effect to solidify his position.

Iriel grabbed his fingertips lightly.

Attaching his body to the music, the first prince whispered to Iriel.

“What do you mean by that? Zeke Kleiman is Serena Joheiden’s benefactor.”

1 Prince immediately got to the point.

“… … I don’t know.”

“This is not good. Not good. Iriel Justia. Wasn’t Zeke Kleiman the one you put in?”

There was no more composure on the face of the first prince, who had been humiliated by Zeke a moment ago.

He spat out the words as if he was blaming Iriel for not managing his own person properly.

He was the one who even said that he supported 2nd Prince Rosnante,

In the end, even Yoheiden has the possibility to stand behind the second prince.

So the one he visited was Iriel Justia.

Glance.

Iriel danced and turned his gaze to Serena.

Zeke Kleiman was seen asking Serena to get down on one knee and dance.

aww

“… … I’ll ask you later, so please don’t ask me about things I don’t know.”

“… … Excuse me Lady. Uhm?”

The first prince tilted his head slightly.

“By the way, Iriel Justia. Has your personality changed a bit? According to rumors, I think it’s strange that you’re here right now… … ?”

“Did you think I would even slap Serena Joheiden on the cheek!?”

“Hmm? Are you okay with the fact that the four of you went over to Joheiden?”

Iriel swallowed his saliva.

‘The first prince said he was quick-witted.’

“Ha, 1st Prince, you say something interesting. There’s no way Zeke Klayman would ever betray me, right?”

Iriel stared into the first prince’s eyes.

The words came from the heart in the first place, and her voice was full of confidence.

1 Prince’s pupils instantly dilated at her words.

“… … stand, please… … . Concubine… … .”

shhh.

Iriel put his index finger to his mouth and squinted one eye.

“I can’t say more than that. Prince. Anyway, it seems that the prince is not his usual appearance. Is this your true face?”

“… … !”

1 The prince realized that he could not hide his urgency at all.

However, that was also unavoidable.

‘Damn it. damn it Zeke Kleiman, he’s connected to both Justia and Joheiden.’

Among the supporters, the two dukes could be said to be the most powerful.

Two Families of Forbidden Leaves

The two are intertwined with Zeke Kleiman.

It was even more difficult to touch now.

1 The prince seemed to hear the final goodbye whispered by Zeke Kleiman earlier.

[Let me tell you one more thing, you will come back to me after today’s banquet. Then let’s talk about it again then. Hopefully the attitude won’t be the same then. ]

‘Damn it.’

1 The prince bit his lip.

Then, all of a sudden, I felt a lightning strike in my head.

‘No, wait. What if I secretly contact Serena Joheiden and reveal that Zeke Kleiman is a spy?’

If that happens, it may be unavoidable that Iriel Justia and Zeke Kleiman will pretend.

It will be unstoppable for them to support the 2nd Prince, but if they can turn Joheiden to their side with certainty… … ?

If you turn one of the two equal forces to your side, at least it’s not a loss.

Ilois Leonine looked coldly at the beautiful red-eyed girl dancing with him.

‘Yes, you should be my scapegoat. Iriel Justia.’
