From the guest room of the Zephanel family, I went out to the aisle with Ashley, and there was a man and a woman who seemed to be members of the intelligence clan “Lily of the Valley”, which reports directly to the Chancellor.
“I’m Roy from the Lily of the Valley. Next to me is my sister Rachel. From now on, We’ll be exclusively guarding Ashley-sama.”
Roy and Rachel are both green-haired elves. They said they were brother and sister, evident from their similar looking faces. Although their face is youthful, the elf is long-lived and thus it is difficult to guess the age just from the appearance.
Because she is about to be assigned as the next family head, Ashley, it may be an age that is commensurate with sufficient experience and ability.
“Nice to meet you two, Roy-san and Rachel-san.”
“Just Roy is fine. Please call my sister Rachel.”
“Alright, Roy, Rachel, once again, nice to meet you two.”
“Yes, let’s head to the venue. We will talk about our future plans while walking. We have heard from Schwarz-dono and Zephanel-sama that there is no problem.”
“Well, don’t worry, I won’t betray Ashley Zephanel.”
Hearing my reply, Roy was only slightly relaxed, but his sister Rachel, who stood behind him, blushed and “Wow”-ed. But I ignored it. The banquet that I attended in the entertainment city of Veneer was seated with the seating order specified, but tonight’s banquet will be held in a standing style.
Not only Prince Ark, who is the main character of the banquet, the First and Second Princes will also participate. The banquet will be hosted by the Second Prince, and since the current King celebrated Prince Ark’s adulthood at a ceremony during the day, the banquet is mainly for his brothers to celebrate their younger brother’s birthday.
Chancellor Zephanel participated because she was invited by the current King.
In addition, nobles’ children and influential merchants who have not participated in the ceremony will participate with their partners. Ashley confirmed the situation while listening to the names and characteristics of important people from Roy.
Whilst watching the situation from behind, I walked to the venue.
“Ah, Schwartz-san? What kind of relationship do you have with Ashley-sama?”
Rachel, who was walking beside me, asked. The relationship between me and Ashley?
“I can’t express it in one word. I think it’s more than an acquaintance… a friend…more than that too.”
“Wow… so you two are lovers? No, no, no, the fact that the predecessor approved this, is, is… uhhh”
Rachel turned away and muttered in a whisper in response to my reply, but the sound collecting sensor caught it either way. I know what you mean. However, the relationship between me and Ashley cannot really be described by a single word. Is she my lover? Fiancee? Certainly――I and Ashley made an oath to each other. From each other’s standpoint, protect each other with the power we have…may sound like a proposal…
“Schwartz, I can’t enter the venue――what’s wrong, your face is bright red?”
“Oh, yeah, it’s nothing――let’s go.”
I came to the front of the door that seems to be the main venue. The map showed a large hall behind the door and many dots. Also, in front of the door, there were two Knights, as well as the dignified Sharle-san, dressed in a male Knight’s clothes, along with Chancellor Zephanel, who was standing with her hands on her hips.
“Ah-chan, Schwartz, you are late.”
“Yeah, Schwartz, don’t let the predecessor wait, we’re hungry!”
Who is hungry again?
“Sorry to keep you waiting.”
Chancellor Zephanel wore a yellow one-piece dress. Combined with her porcelain-like white skin, her appearance is cute like a fairy.
“When you are ready, you may go inside.”
One of the Knights standing in front of the door called out to us. Roy and Rachel remained here, waiting for Chancellor Zephanel, Sharle-san, me and Ashley to join hands to open the door.
I heard a voice calling the visitors’ names from inside the venue――the door slowly opened. I could hear cheers and clapping sounds.
The dinner party had already started. Light and graceful music is played, and many Aristocrats and influential merchants hold glasses in their hands. The conversations and celebrations were interrupted to welcome Chancellor Zephanel.
An individual who has lived with the Founding King before the founding of the Kurtmerga Kingdom, and has devoted herself to the Kingdom and the Royal Family since then. There are many people who want to cling to the prestige of the name, but a lot more have gathered due to respect and awe. Not to mention the three princes who would come in after this――the applause that echoed in the Flyhigh was greater than the applause that greeted the current King at the King’s Festival.
