Chapter 115:
“He really disappeared like a dream.”
I had a bad taste.
Why did I fall asleep again? I was angry with myself.
A man and a woman in the same bed! Huh? We’re lying down!
How can nothing happen every time?
I banged the pillow and struggled.
“Ha… Let’s eat.”
However, I immediately accepted the reality and prepared to eat.
I can’t believe the three of us are together at breakfast.
I was filled with emotion.
I think it’s been a while since I was a little.
“Yeah, I thought you said you had something to say in the morning.”
“Ah! Look at this.”
I handed over the letter.
Edgar immediately checked and made a subtle expression.
“…She’s not his child.”
I’m sure he’s embarrassed. It wasn’t that I didn’t understand.
It would be hard to accept that you’ve believed in it all your life.
“Yeah, it can’t be a lie, so it’s probably right.”
“The emperor will change soon.”
“…The Crown Prince take our hand? What an unexpected thing.”
“The Empress seems to be watching Delther’s back.”
“She must have seized the opportunity.”
The empress always disapproved of the emperor.
Not only did he put it in the government, but he loved someone other than her.
“Nothing strange.”
“I think I’ll have to meet Janice.”
“That’s not possible.”
Leon is strongly against it.
Meeting Janice now, not knowing what was on her mind, was more of a gamble.
We never know what danger lurks.
“It’s all right. Everything will be fine.”
“Well, let’s go together.”
He never seems to want me going alone.
“Okay, then let’s go together.”
“I’ll send an invitation to the royal family, so I think it’s better to let them come our way.”
“…Can we?”
“There’s nothing wrong with it. If it’s a banquet to invite everyone, even Princess Janice can come without any burden.”
“Is it okay to hold a banquet all of a sudden?”
“Nothing strange. Now that we’re in the capital, they all will be curious.”
Edgar called Hessen straight away.
“…A banquet tomorrow?”
“I think a simple tea party would be fine”
“Oh, I can prepare it right away. We’ve been getting invitations from all over the place.”
As expected, nobles know how to roll the board well.
Because he is a child of the Rubion family, some may be afraid, but many may want to covet Leon’s power.
“There’s nothing we can do about getting attention with the two of you, so try to endure it.”
“Yes, I’m staying silent.”
“Well, I’m going to get ready now. Please let me know where to send the invitation.”
Hessen left with a haggard face.
“Ah, Leon, you should stay here for a while. We’ll stop by Caven during the day, so let’s talk.”
Leon nodded.
It was great to be able to see Elle comfortably.
* * *
Caven breathed a deep sigh.
“What the hell is this all about? No wonder you asked me to find out about the Rubion family.”
For quite some time, Caven complained.
Elle, who was listening, shook her head with a look of tiredness.
“Well, how can we tell you everything?”
“But I’m your closest man, aren’t I! How chaotic the tower is now because of that.”
“Why?”
At Leon’s brief reply, Caven swallowed a false smile.
“What do you mean why?”
“The fact that I am the owner of the tower has not changed, and the person who I am has not changed.”
“…That’s true, but still, man!”
“It’s better, isn’t it? We’ll be stronger.”
“What I want to say is that master Leon doesn’t have to be a member of the Rubion family!”
Caven beat his chest as if frustrated. No, what does he see people as?
“I’m just saying I’m disappointed. You lied to me, whether you were Rubion or not!”
“…I’ve felt this since then. You seem to be very obsessed with me.”
“Please don’t say anything strange!”
Elle blinked at the conversation between the two.
“It’s weird to see you two.”
“It’s a misunderstanding!”
Caven roared.
Surprised, Elle grabbed her chest and shrugged.
“Okay, calm down.”
“So when will you be back?”
“When it’s sorted out.”
“Anything else?”
“There’s something. The most troublesome thing.”
Leon looked at the accessory he was wearing on his wrist.
“Send the work to me, I’ll take care of it.”
“…I see, but don’t forget to keep an eye on the royal family.”
“Don’t worry.”
At Leon’s words, Caven shook his head.
“You always tell me not to worry”
And yet he got up from his seat.
He didn’t forget to put down a bunch of documents he brought on the table.
“You have to take care of all this by tomorrow. I’ll come again if you’re late.”
“I see.”
Caven squinted and stared at Leon.
“And everyone in the tower is waiting for you, so please come back quickly.”
“…Okay.”
Only then did Leon smile.
* * *
“It’s weird because it’s crowded.”
“But I like it”
Diria smiled as she looked out the window.
“It’s like a dream to have a tea party in our house!”
“Really? Will Princess Janice come?”
“I don’t know.”
I sighed. I arranged this to meet Princess Janice, but it was meaningless unless the main character came.
‘I hope she comes because I’m curious about something.’
Even the royal family won’t stop her from going.
I invited the maidens of the families who asked to put them out among the nobles.
If she falls into this position, she’ll be anxious because she doesn’t know what’s going to be said.
I checked the beautiful dress once more.
I was amazed at how hard Lord Hessen prepared this, from flowers to the types of tea.
“Well, I’ll be back.”
I left the room.
Soon after, I saw Leon waiting for me.
When I saw him dressed up in a neat suit, I naturally smiled.
“Elle.”
“Don’t overdo it, okay?”
If the magic explodes again due to the power of the pattern, it will strain his body.
“Well, then let’s go.”
Leon reached out. Soon after, I took his hand and headed to the garden.
I quickly scanned the people gathered in the garden.
‘Is Princess Janice still not here?’
I didn’t think she came because the seats were empty.
I had no choice but to smile at others with Leon.
“Thank you for coming here.
“We were surprised that you invited us.”
Ho-ho.
I was smiling, but there was a subtle airflow.
Their eyes did not stop looking at each other.
“But there’s a vacant seat.”
The curious eyes of the young people turned to the unoccupied seat.
“I don’t think she’ll come, so let’s get started.”
At the same time as Leon and I sat down, the eyes of the young ladies alternately turned.
“Congratulations on your engagement. I was surprised, but you look great.”
“It feels really good to be congratulated like this.”
“I was also surprised that you returned to the capital.”
“It’s all thanks to the royal family’s permission.”
My eyes trembled because I was forced to smile.
“But sir Leon, why are you here?”
The young lady who peeped at Leon looked nervous.
“Oh my!”
Then lady, looking at the entrance of the garden, shouted in surprise.
Only then did the corners of my mouth go up.
The person we’ve been waiting for showed up.
“It seems that the most valuable guest has come.”
Everyone stood up and greeted Princess Janice.
Leon and Janice’s faces were very calm.
“I’m very late. I’m dealing with urgent business.”
“That’s all right. It’s an honor just to have you accept the invitation.”
I smiled and welcomed Janice.
It didn’t matter if she came late or not because I set up the table to meet her.
“Well, then, I’ll start the tea party.”
The maids continued to serve tea with delicious refreshments.
The scent of flowers crossed the tip of their nose in the well-decorated garden.
“The tea smells good.”
“By the way, will sir Leon be a knight again?”
“I don’t think I will.”
“However, rather than destroying his own family…”
“I thought it would be good for everyone to disappear from such a family.”
Leon smiled softly and looked at the young lady.
“Yeah, that’s right.”
The red eyes shook her body.
“Oh, by the way. I had a request for the royal family. I’m glad the princess came.”
I got up from my seat as if something had occurred to me.
Princess Janice also nodded.
“Well, then. Are you all enjoying yourselves? I’ve got a gift for you all, too.”
The maids hastily gave the young girls the gift to turn their attention away.
“Oh, this is!”
“It’s similar to the necklace I saw at the banquet last time.”
Everyone’s eyes glistened.
I was informed that we had received a lot of inquiries since that day, so I told them to prepare something similar.
I thought it would be used someday, but it was really useful.
‘I found a really good talent.’
As expected, investment is one thing.
“Well, excuse me for a moment, then.”
The young ladies were already not interested in me. They were busy looking at each other’s designs and trying them on.
Janice and I headed somewhere else, leaving them behind.
