================

In less than two days, more than half of the suitors fell away.

after that,

The red dragon was furious and attacked the scene.

A villainess who swept away suitors with her arrogant charisma. Naturally, her amazing performance reached the ears of Ludmila, who was eagerly awaiting the results.

“Lisa!! How did you commit such a catastrophe to deal with the aftermath?”

A loud shout filled the quiet drawing room.

It was as if a fire-breathing evil dragon was roaring.

The maids responded with great surprise.

The soldiers standing guard also broke into a cold sweat when they heard Ludmila’s shout.

How can you not be nervous?

The Red Dragon of the Empire is truly furious.

“Same goes for you! I put it next to Lisa to prevent her from doing anything foolish!”

“… Sorry.”

The red eyes, burning like flames, began to reprimand me after Elizabeth.

Actually, I was at fault too.

Because every time Elisabeta chased away her suitors, I felt happy inside.

Would you say that it was pleasant to see ambitious people who wanted to become husbands of the Platinum Princess look shocked and give up on confronting each other? I watched happily while eating popcorn with Lue. Therefore, it was natural for the older sister, who was expecting her younger sister to be happy, to be scolded.

“Even so, we are leaving the ecliptic for a while… !”

Ludmilla was planning to leave the imperial capital to protect the Pug Kingdom from the evil demons.

He showed impatience.

It’s because of my younger sister who still can’t seem to let go of her regrets.

“Aren’t your brother-in-law and sister really doing too much? If you can’t even understand your sister’s hurt feelings, how can you properly support your husband? Anyway, I’ve been stubborn since long ago.”

“Tongue, brother-in-law! Huh! Don’t pass it off like that!!”

Elizabeth whispered loudly in a mischievous voice.

Then Ludmilla blushed and raised her voice.

It seems like they are caught up in a sisterly fight.

I looked at the red dragon and the platinum princess alternately and tried to think of a way to escape.

“Please, start treating suitors seriously starting tomorrow. The Emperor also has high expectations.”

“Okay, I got it. You just have to do what you’re told.”

The younger sister eventually gave in to her older sister’s sincere urgings.

Although he pouted his lips in disapproval, he promised that he would engage in a serious confrontation.

I’m glad it ended this way.

I was worried about what would happen if the argument escalated.

“You will stay for a moment.”

“Yes?”

Ludmila caught me while I was trying to follow Elisabetta out of the living room.

Surely they won’t hold Fatu responsible? If you criticize them for sabotage, there is no room for argument.

Is there a good way to avoid responsibility?

I was seriously worried about passing all of the responsibility on to the fairy who was watching the confrontation with me.

“While I was away… Please protect Liza. More than anything, I’m worried about Lisa. How can I not be worried when he always acts like such an idiot?”

“Of course. Please leave it to us.”

The reason Ludmilla caught me was to ask me again to escort my younger sister Elisabetta. He had an anxious expression on his face and his shoulders were shaking.

It was the complete opposite of his usual noble and dignified appearance.

Should I say that I feel like a delicate woman?

Even though he boasted that he would go north on his own, Elisabeta still seemed to be on his mind. Perhaps he instinctively predicted the fatal fate that befell his younger sister. So Ludmilla showed weakness only to me, whom she trusted.

“With the reputation of the Hohenberg family at stake, I will definitely protect Her Highness Elisabetta.”

“… Yes, thank you.”

I raised my hand.

And he stroked her pure white cheek.

It was soft and warm.

It felt like I could feel his concern beyond the thin skin.

It was a skinship that happened out of nowhere, but Ludmila never rejected it. With a solemn smile on his lips, he took my hand caressing his cheek.

Where did I get this courage?

How dare you caress the imperial princess without hesitation?

I wanted to comfort Ludmila, who was truly worried about her younger sister. Such earnest feelings may have been inadvertently expressed outwardly, leading to skinship.

“Ah, anyway… I guess I’ll go. Please take good care of Elisabetta!”

“Yes.”

We stared at each other as if time had stopped for a moment.

and then,

Eventually, Ludmila must have come to her senses and hastily took a step back.

The princess’s red face, as if it was about to explode at any moment, was impressive. He reacted very flustered, wondering where his usual flawless self had gone.

Seeing Ludmilla like that, I felt my heart pounding more and more.

* * *

Seven generals from Valtaria were deployed to the defense in place of Ludmilla, who was scheduled to go on a campaign.

Seven knights representing the empire.

With the end of the tribal war, the brave warriors who had been scattered throughout the empire gathered again.

When it became known that Ludmila, the guardian of the imperial family, was going to war, concern and anxiety arose. However, when the seven generals of Valtaria entered the imperial capital, they completely put an end to the fear that had been creeping up like a plague.

“Chief Cecilia. In obedience to the solemn command of the emperor, he was deployed to guard Her Majesty Elizabeth.”

A female knight with flowing blue hair like lobelia escorted Elisabetta while saluting.

Do you plan to do the same at the confrontation site?

I think the suitors will run away in surprise when they see her in full armor… .

As expected of Ludmilla’s direct subordinate, it was difficult to find the slightest bit of flexibility. I would like to acknowledge his bravery and loyalty, but his stubborn personality was eating up those strengths.

“Okay, so wait in the back.”

“No! His Majesty has given strict orders to be on the safe side.”

“Now I have to change my dress! So, don’t follow me!”

“Hwa, princess… !”

Who would have thought that there would be someone in this world who would hate even the villainess Elisabetta.

I took a moment to watch the fuss between the princess and the female knight.

“The prestige of the Baltarian Empire is ridiculous. At best, the seven generals stationed at the front were summoned because of the news that a demon had appeared. It must be that scary.”

The girl who was leisurely drinking Darjeeling put down her tea cup and muttered.

Fear began to creep in.

Fear was spreading.

However, the girl dressed in pure white robes looked relaxed as usual. I enjoyed an elegant tea time as if I was in a different space by myself.

Tea time while ignoring the crowds trembling with fear.

She could not have been a truly delinquent saint.

I wanted to report the First Lady’s bad attitude to the Holy Emperor right away.

“How about a glass of Edanant Confucius?”

“I’m grateful for the saint’s favor, but it’s okay.”

“Hmm. In times like these, we need to enjoy culture… . As expected, the people of the empire are not sensitive.”

“… … .”

An eccentric saint who has long been liberated from the category of normal people.

Jebelin, who was drinking Darjeeling one after another, suddenly began to change.

There must have been a signal.

Because I drank several cups of Darjeeling.

This was especially true because Darjeeling stimulates the urge to urinate.

I stared at Jebeline with a faint smile.

“The bathroom is on the right when you go outside.”

“What are you talking about? The saint doesn’t go to the bathroom… !”

What are you talking about?

Put aside your pointless stubbornness and go to the bathroom.

If we continue to endure it like that, a catastrophe will occur with the holy water produced by the First Saintess pouring out.

“Go quickly.”

“Ugh… ! Hmm… ! In front of Prince Edanand… I can’t go!”

I hugged Zeveline’s slender waist with both hands.

The purpose was to force the tomboy saintess to go to the bathroom.

I do not know the reason.

Are all women like this?

Who would have thought there would have been a saint in the world more troublesome than Beatrice? Jeveline watched until the end and hesitated to go to the bathroom. Even though it may have already reached its limit.

“Lue… ! Where has this kid gone?!”

He desperately searched for Rue while forcibly lifting the fiercely rebellious saint.

It must have been there just now,

Where on earth is this kid shooting?

I wish I could persuade the tomboyish saint with my bright eyes. As if to prove the proverb that even dog poop is not good enough for medicine, the absence of a full-fledged fairy was painful.

* * *

Wow-.

Wow-. Wow-.

The fairy who was desperately searching was heading towards the galley at a fast pace.

This is because every time I wandered around the kitchen, the generous cooks gave me various snacks.

Won’t I get a lot today too?

I ran through the hallways looking forward to sweet chocolate and cookies.

“Hehe, I have to eat it with Ethan!”

Lue hoped Edanant would enjoy the desserts.

So, while struggling to suppress my ravenous appetite, I took the package of snacks I received from the galley.

“Huh!”

When I turned a corner with strong steps,

Lue, who was holding a package of snacks in both hands, collided with someone approaching from the opposite direction.

“Sorry, I didn’t know you were coming from the other side… . Are you okay?”

“My butt hurts a little, but it’s okay!”

The person I bumped into from the front was a handsome young man. Judging by the luxurious suit, it seemed to be the son of a prestigious family.

Of course, he would feel uncomfortable with the little boy who came at him out of nowhere. However, the young man was worried about Lue, who rushed at him. Through him, I was able to see that the young man was a person with a gentle personality.

“Hengheng, I’m fine!”

I hurriedly fumbled for the package of snacks.

Fortunately, the packaged snacks were intact and not crushed.

Lue must have been happy about that, shaking her hair and smiling innocently.

“I’m glad you’re safe. See you next time.”

“Okay!”

The young man stretched out his hand.

Then Lu also extended his cute hand and shook my hand.

I held his hand tightly.

Lue, who briefly approached the young man to shake his hand, smelled a foul odor that damaged his sense of smell.

The smell of rotten dirt.

There was also a smell of metal that had been corroded for a long time.

Because they were members of the Ruinong race, whose five senses were very sensitive, they recognized the faint odor right away.

‘Let’s take a shower… . Well, Ethan still smelled even though he washed it thoroughly every day. ‘Everyone is very shy.’

Lue tilted her head at the mysterious smell, but turned around while holding the package of snacks.
