113 – party – 2

Upon arriving at Baekam Palace, the staff split up. The adventurers go to the party, and I go to the waiting room.

I am Lucille’s teacher.

In other words, since he belongs to the royal family, he has to wait a while before entering the party with the royal family.

It was etiquette to be considerate of those who are a little late.

Of course, it wasn’t an event that was considerate of the players. There were not one or two people who got caught up in this and went out for a while and then couldn’t re-enter the party.

“Welcome. Um…”

The hesitant queen let out a deep sigh. and get up from your seat

“…what are you doing?”

He bowed politely to me.

“Thank you for saving my daughter.”

“Not much to say. As a teacher, it was something I should have done.”

“Sage. Making you Lucille’s teacher seems like the best choice in my life.”

“For that part, I’m grateful.”

It was because I was able to achieve the achievement of an S-class teacher that would have taken more than a year or two in less than half a year.

“So that’s what I mean…”

The queen carefully looked around and opened her mouth.

“Can Lucille graduate now? I’m also a queen, so I know how to treat people. I never imagined that my daughter could be this big. She’s definitely that girl. She’ll make a great queen.”

“I hope so.”

The queen fiddled with her fingers. It seems he has something more to say.

“That’s why. If you don’t mind, wise man. Can you be the queen’s consort?”

“…Are you proposing to me right now? I’m sorry, but I’m not interested in the Queen…”

“Oh no! Not me!”

oh I’m asking you to become Lucille’s companion.

Just as I was about to reply, the door burst open.

“…Mother? Master? They say it’s time to leave…”

“Um. So? All right. Now. Sage. Let’s go. I’ll hear the answer after the party.”

“Her Majesty the Queen enters! The Princess enters!!”

With the resounding cry of the chief chamberlain, the royal musicians began to play beautifully.

Did they have a second round after the people who gathered at the eve of the festival?

The sub-races and the human species gathered together, laughing and chatting.

Then, they focused on the queen and Lucille, who walked in confidently, and I moved away from them, who were headed for the most prestigious seats, and headed toward a familiar face.

“I’m here?”

Veronica and Lacey were there.

Why are you guys together?

“As you said, Cardinal Veronica is a very nice person.”

“right?”

“You really. What did you say about me to Marquis Lacey?”

“I’m just telling the truth.”

“…That’s right?”

Veronica’s face heats up slightly. In the meantime, the queen thanked those who attended Lucille’s birthday party, and after a while, the music of the musicians began to be heard.

“I would like to thank all the distinguished guests who came to congratulate me.”

Even with so many, and so many high-ranking people gathered, Lucille was speaking without a single shudder.

Compared to the past, it is a really great development.

Lucille, who was shy in the corner of the room, is so big…

“He… I raised him.”

“Who said what?”

This is the joy of raising disciples.

Of course I won’t do it twice.

“Sure. Enjoy the party.”

With a bright, confident smile, Lucille announced the start of the party.

“Should I go?”

“Huh? Huh.”

As Lucille’s partner, she has a heavy duty to perform her first dance.

And maybe.

“Lucille. It’s amazing. You’ve grown up day by day.”

I agreed with Veronica’s murmur. It was really big.

As the queen said, I wondered if I could give her a diploma now.

“Go and come. That’s what you’re doing…”

Veronica casually held out her hand, and I took off my robe and placed it on top of her hand.

“Do it nicely.”

“It should be.”

I tried so hard for this

As the emperor’s clothes were revealed inside the robe, the eyes of those gathered at the party drew attention to me.

I walked proudly toward Lucille, and she greeted me politely with a wide smile.

“As Lady’s partner, I’d like to take Lady’s first dance. Would you like to light up the party together?”

“like!”

With an even brighter smile, Lucille took my hand. After coming down from the podium, I headed towards the center of the dance hall at the party.

For today’s protagonist, Lucille, no one came up to the dance hall.

“Are you ready?”

“…Yes!”

All the hard work done so far will be judged here.

I lightly squeezed Lucille’s hand.

“Don’t let me down.”

“Sure.”

There was confidence in Lucille’s voice.

The party went smoothly.

Thanks to the friendly atmosphere on the eve of the festival, there was no conflict between the human race and the sub-race.

Rather, it was because they became so close that a strange phenomenon occurred, in which a dwarf and a human had a drinking contest and both of them fell out.

“Wow. Nice!”

“Is that so? I can do that much too.”

Among the Chungins who participated in the celebration, the Mantis Chungin’s sword dance was over.

The sword dance, wielding two large swords and spreading its wings, was threatening and beautiful.

Let’s just ignore the fact that Lacey, who was excited about the sword dance, tried to borrow my moonlight to dance together.

Other than that, the gifts were only satisfactory.

From the ones sent by the nobles to the ones sent by sub-species.

In particular, the gift sent from the forest of the elves was a big surprise to the kingdom.

That would be the case, because it was a contract to supply the kingdom with the fruit of the world tree and elven silk at a low price for 50 years.

It’s a bit strange for a gift for a princess, but it will help her a lot when she becomes queen.

After all, it is the budget that moves the world.

“Kuhm.”

Standing in front of Lucille, Veronica cleared her throat lowly. Lucille smiled brightly at her.

“Thank you for coming, Cardinal Veronica.”

“What. We don’t even know each other. And.”

Scratching her cheeks, Veronica chuckled.

“You’ve seen each other naked, haven’t you?”

“That’s right, right? Huhu.”

That’s what happened in Leidin.

“Anyway, now. This.”

What Veronica held out was, of course, a sacred object.

Divine Mark of the Church made of blessed pure silver.

Upon receiving the Divine Mark, which had no special decorations and looked clunky, Lucille was puzzled, and Veronica explained casually.

“It’s the divine mark of Saint Wishtil.”

Saint Wisiltin is a former warrior’s colleague who sacrificed all her holy power to help the hero defeat the demon king.

God rewarded her sacrifice and gave her more powerful holy power, and since then, instead of showing off her holy power, it is said that she devoted her whole life to helping those who suffered from the demon king.

As such, the value of that Divine Mark will never be small.

“Thank you for such a precious thing. The price for this gift. I will definitely return it to the church.”

“…Ohh?”

In the past, I would have been intimidated by this precious thing, but she was different.

Rather than being intimidated, Lucille declared that she would give it back.

As if he would even bear it.

In response, Veronica also widened her eyes, but she just smiled and backed away as if she was having fun.

“Awesome?”

“Whoops. I’m Master’s disciple. No matter what happens, I must not be shaken.”

It really makes me proud just by looking at it.

Even against Veronica, there is no retreat…

It’s really time to graduate.

It was a party that had been prepared for a long time, so it ended without any major problems.

Of course, if we hadn’t stopped the witch’s terror, it would have been a party, a nabal, and a very shameful mess, but as much as we cut it out in advance, there was no problem at all.

At the end of the party, I asked Lucille.

“By the way, is it okay if I just dance one song?”

There were many people who encouraged me to dance as well as Lucille.

Isn’t it natural From the start, everyone danced to the point of admiration.

As dancing represents class in the social world, there were many aristocrats, regardless of gender and age, who wanted to dance with me and Lucille.

But Lucille politely declined all those offers.

In other words, I was the only one who danced with her at this party.

“I want to keep this feeling a little longer.”

“Yes? In that case.”

“But what about Master?”

“Because I’m your partner for today.”

“…Huh. I’m so happy. Really… To the point where I want time to stop…”

sweet voice.

It contained Lucille’s earnestness.

“Then, from now on, a genius adventurer musician who has returned from touring the continent! Lizardman’s blessing! A traitor who opens a new world!! Lark’s new song presentation will begin!”

When the chamberlain shouted loudly, those who recognized Lark secretly fled to the bathroom, and Baltin, Lukendi, and Veronica calmly put on earplugs.

“…I really wish it would stop.”

There was more earnestness in Lucille’s voice than before.

But time does not go back or stop.

If that happens, game over. That is, the world is going to end.

“I sincerely congratulate the princess on her birthday!! This Lark! I sing with all my soul! Title! The song of destruction!!”

Couldn’t the title be a bit plain?

It was a really exciting performance.

To the extent that nobles and sub-species nobles who did not know about Lark shouted to hang him.

The Lily Knights worked hard and his punishment was over at the level where Lark was kicked out, and the party went on without any major problems after that.

“Then let’s end today’s party.”

I hear the 12 o’clock bell.

everything comes to an end

As Lucille’s birthday ended, this party naturally came to an end.

“We’ve reserved a place for those who want to enjoy the night more, so if you’d like, please enjoy it separately. Come on. And Lucille. Come with me.”

“Yes. Then Master. There…”

do i need to go Maybe it’s a leadership meeting?

“I’m going to have another drink with the kids in the annex…”

The queen nodded slightly as if she had no intention of taking me with her. Lucille openly regretted it, then glanced at the people waiting for me and nodded.

“Ah… yes. Okay. Then can I visit you later?”

“Do whatever you like.”

Lucille, having received permission, is delighted and leaves the party with the Queen. Seeing that, I turned around.

Lacey, Veronica, Baltin, and Lukendi were waiting.

“We’ll do another round by ourselves.”

“Precious people tell noble people to play with each other.”

“Are there two noble people here?”

Veronica and Lacey. When I pointed at them, they both laughed.

“Isn’t there a saying that a priest should come to the lowest place?”

“That’s right. So what about you?”

Lacey said dumbfoundedly with a blunt face.

“Can’t you?”

There’s nothing wrong with it.

We returned to the annex and gathered in the garden. Lark was drinking a lot of alcohol, as if he was very hurt by today’s results.

“Hey! Ignorant people who don’t even know music!!”

Who says who is ignorant?

It’s ridiculous, but it’s already in the past, and he’s paid enough, so let’s just move on without pointing it out.

“By the way, Cardinal. He never danced today.”

After drinking the wine in one gulp, Lacey raised the lute.

Was it because it was illuminated by the crackling bonfire?

Veronica’s face is red.

“Ah… that, I’m not good at dancing…”

“Dancing is just for fun. It doesn’t have to be formal, right? Sage?”

“then.”

“But you did a great job with Lucille.”

“It’s because it’s a dance you have to dance well. Actually, I’m more comfortable dancing casually.”

I put down the peanuts I had forgotten and got up.

-Tiriling~

Lacey strums the lute. In time, Baltin pulled out his flute and Lukendi took up his snare drum.

“Uh, huh?”

Veronica was puzzled. It must have been amazing to see Baltin and Lukendi holding their instruments.

“Originally, adventurers know how to handle at least one musical instrument.”

“It’s not the level of the wise man or Rark, but hey. Lark. You hear it too.”

“It’s my due date…! Should I do it?”

“Suddenly abandon that musicality and go for something popular. Shouldn’t Cardinal Veronica also try dancing?”

Turning to the angry Rark, Lacey said. Eventually he too took up the lute.

After matching the notes several times, they nodded, and I reached out for Veronica.

“Let’s dance.”

“…uh.”

She looked embarrassed, but Veronica gently took my hand. Then he said awkwardly.

“I-I can’t really dance.”

“don’t worry.”

-Ting tting ding~ Tiriling~ Ding~

The song was not a waltz-like song full of sophistication.

A fast, upbeat song that adventurers enjoy when camping.

Is that why?

Veronica thought it would be a waltz and stiffened. She got out of her awkwardness and clumsily danced along with me.

“Aha. Ahahahaha! Isn’t this fun?!”

I made a mistake, stepped on my foot, and bumped into Lark while taking a turn.

There were several times when I almost lost my hand and lost my posture.

This place has no formality like a party hall, just pure enjoyment.

Maybe that’s why, holding my hand and stamping my feet, Veronica was very happy.

nice to see you like it

I wanted to take a break because I was always so enthusiastic.

Drinking like that, dancing while eating snacks, or doing magic tricks or jokes.

It was a time when Valtin and I had a drunken duel, and the fun atmosphere continued.

“What? It must be more fun here.”

A grumbling voice was heard. It was Marax and Leo who came to the adventurer’s party in the garden of the annex. While Baltin and Luckendy smiled and welcomed Marax, he looked around and asked.

“But what about the princess?”

“Huh? You didn’t come?”

“Really? The princess left a long time ago to go here?”

uh? I wonder what’s going on?

I apologized to the rest and went to Lucille’s room.

“The princess came in earlier and is sleeping now.”

“Oh yeah?”

I had no choice but to return to the courteous words of the lady-in-waiting.
