“No matter what happens, this ends today.”

“That’s how it turned out. You’ve worked really hard too. You’ve worked hard, my daughter.”

The end of the grand finale that could never be considered ordinary.

There, while watching the final event, the ball, from one side, Elios and Rosebetta began to calmly talk about past events.

“Still, that’s fortunate. If Katlena had changed her mind there…”

“That can’t be. No matter what anyone says, that child is my daughter and your sister. Isn’t that something you already know?”

“That’s true, but… Don’t you know very well that people’s hearts aren’t always the same? If by any chance that child had realized his past and betrayed himself, something really big would have happened. And… I also might have…”

“Don’t say that. I always say this, but you guys shouldn’t fight each other no matter what. Even if there’s a misunderstanding or something else that makes you feel like you hate each other.”

“Haa.. Anyway, you are the strongest witch who even chased away Athena, but don’t you know that you are too soft on your daughters?”

“There’s nothing you can do about it. That’s just how mothers are.”

If Rosebetta had really died or been seriously injured as a result of Katlena’s betrayal, Elios probably would not have been able to forgive her.

For Elios Noshelath Dragona, the existence of a mother is,

Because he was the most precious person in this world that I could never lose for any reason.

However, just as Elios cherished his mother,

For Rosetta, her three daughters were irreplaceable treasures.

Even if he loses his life in the process.

Rosebetta would not have harbored even a shred of hatred towards her ‘daughter’, Katlena.

“But…what did those guys do?”

“Those guys?.. Oh, you mean the scumbags who tried to use our Katlena without fear?”

Rosebetta speaks with cold anger, not the motherly affection she had felt just a moment ago.

At her words, Elios felt slightly offended and spoke cautiously.

“Yes, I saw them all captured at the end and dragged away by the guards.. but I haven’t heard anything about them since then.”

“That’s right.. Since then, I’ve made sure to keep it strictly confidential from the outside.”

“..Did you kill them all? If so, it would have been better to leave it to me..”

Elios speaks with a bit of regret.

However, Duchess Rosetta answered her question with the same regret in her voice.

“Honestly, if it were up to me, I would have wanted to tear apart and kill all those guys who had tormented Katlena. Unfortunately, I couldn’t do that. After all, they were her direct subordinates. I had no choice but to let them go after they had taken care of their business.”

“What if I say something like…”

Elios questions Roseveta’s words.

Although, considering that the Northern Wizards’ Association and its leader Dorothy were behind them, it was impossible to keep them captive.

However, given her mother’s personality, she would not have let things end so easily.

Clearly, they must have used some tricks to make a profit in the meantime.

That was why it was clear that he had let those who had rushed at him to kill him go.

Then Elios asked his mother specifically what it was, and Rosebetta calmly told her about the ‘gain’ she had gained.

“Now that we’ve done this, we should start to hear a response from them. We’ll have to wait a little longer to see if it works out, but for now, let’s just wait and see. After all, from now on, it’ll be them who’ll start getting anxious, not us.”

“I see… That was truly a motherly action. With this, I can finally cut off all of that damned prime minister’s arms and legs.”

And so, as he thought of the person who was in despair at this very moment, a smile filled with joy began to form on Elios’ lips.

Okay, after we finished talking about this matter.

The two men’s gaze turned to the ball taking place below.

A place where couples gather together and dance.

Among them, simply in the sense of friendship between friends,

Or, there were people who showed off their own wonderful dance moves to express their affection for each other.

And at this moment…

In their eyes, they saw a couple who, by their standards, they considered to be the most suitable couple.

The real protagonist of what happened this time.

The person who solved almost all of their worries.

A person who can bring a loving smile to the corners of two people’s lips just by looking at them.

Princess Catlena Sophia Dragona.

And.. the man who is always by her side with her,

Butler Zero Raymond.

The two were standing in the center of the stage, carefully moving their bodies to the music.

In Katlena’s case, she showed some level of familiarity with dancing, which is a basic skill for a princess, but in Zeros’ case, her body was stiff, as if she lacked much experience.

Yes, they were dancing in a way that seemed quite awkward to others…

However, even such an awkward dance move was enough to bring a warm smile to the lips of Rosebetta and Elios who were watching it.

They didn’t seem to get along very well on the outside, but…

Knowing what kind of people they were, Rosebetta and Elios were beginning to think that there was no other couple that matched them as well.

“Come to think of it… That child’s contribution was quite significant. Zeros Raymond… I always think about it, but if that child hadn’t been there, Katlena probably wouldn’t have grown up so upright.”

“I think so too. There must have been many things that Katlena and that kid couldn’t have endured alone, but I think it was thanks to that kid Zero that I was able to come this far without wavering.”

“..Just like how your mother stayed by your father’s side?”

“..hehehe.”

Rosebeta agrees with Elios’ words with a small smile.

Looking at his mother like that, Elios carefully told Rosebeta one thing he had often thought about.

“I.. Mom. So.. If it’s okay with you.”

“Huh? What is it, baby?”

Rosebeta asks curiously about Elios’ words.

To her, Elios told her what he thought… or rather, he recommended her opinion. Rosebetta thought about this for a moment and then asked in a calm voice.

“I don’t think it’s a bad idea, but… don’t you think it’s a little early?”

“No. It’s a little embarrassing to even talk about this, but… those two are already…”

“!…Oh my..”

Duchess Rosebetta blushes slightly at Elios’ words.

Then she fanned her face to cool down a little, and Elios spoke in a clear voice while watching her.

“Considering what will happen after this anyway, I think it’s better to tie it up firmly. I’m also a little worried about what that prime minister might do.”

“You don’t have to worry about that, but…”

“..Huh? What is that..”

“… No, it’s nothing. Anyway… Let’s set a date sometime later, like you said. A really nice day, I mean.”

Yes, Rosebeta speaks with a smile on her face about Elios’ words.

Looking at her calm and warm appearance as always, Elios began to smile slightly without realizing it.

however..

At that moment, there was something about Elios that she didn’t know.

A very brief moment…

About the ominous expression on her mother’s face…
