72 – Intermission: Bloom

Those who gathered at the castle each held an important position.

King of Aucklia.

The leader of the moderate faction of the Tribal Federation.

The branch manager of Intrus.

The cardinal and saintess of the Holy Land.

All those people are being swayed here and there by the warrior’s words.

I used to think that the more I looked at Angelica, the more I could see a new side of me.

But when I heard the hero suggest making false evidence, it felt like my thoughts stopped.

Angelica was in awe of the hero.

It’s for all life in Mare, but an agent of God makes a proposal that deceives mankind!

However, none of those gathered at the meeting could object to the warrior’s words.

From a certain moment, the meeting hall became a single stage for the warriors.

Everyone gathered here became a spectator, lost in thought, seduced by the warrior’s words and gestures.

When I came to my senses, all the stories were organized, and the stories were organized in the direction the hero suggested.

A normal discussion or meeting is not like this.

When someone makes a proposal, it is common to find a point of agreement by exchanging opinions for and against it.

This was a strange phenomenon.

Overwhelming charisma.

Anjelica began to feel that the hero was even more distant.

If I were in the same position as the warrior, would I have been able to take control of the people gathered here at once?

Could it be possible to make an unconventional proposal to create false evidence for humanity?

It was an impossible story.

‘It’s stupid.’

As expected, he is too much for me.

Anjelica saw the shadow of the monarch in the figure of the warrior who seized the conference hall.

If he is determined and builds his power, wouldn’t he be able to establish a nation comparable to other kingdoms in just one generation?

On the other hand, what about me?

I’m just a knight who can use a sword a little well.

Anjelica felt increasingly depressed.

If I knew it would be like this, I should have kept fooling myself….

Why did she have to go through this pain because she noticed her feelings for him?

Angelica was just frustrated.

And finally, the dinner party began, and Angelica witnessed a complicated scene in many ways.

Reina, who was once her escort, and the hero, who is now her own escort and master.

The two of them dancing in the center of the hall.

It went well.

Since the warrior had come to see an official business, he was dressed in formal attire.

Reina was wearing a fancy dress that was slightly more exposed than usual.

The hero and Reina had a fairly large age difference, but the hero looked like a couple that would suit him well because he had a baby face.

For some reason, Angelica felt her heart tighten.

Don’t take your eyes off her escort.

Angelica’s heart was shaken to the point that she forgot even what was natural for her.

Angelica bit her lip slightly and lowered her gaze, her cold hard armor caught her eye.

A noble lady wearing a gorgeous dress and smiling brightly.

On the other hand, a female knight wearing cold and hard armor.

It was embarrassing to even compare.

Angelica felt that this time was only her torture.

How much time has passed?

From noble mtl dot com

As the music in the hall changed, the hero and Reina greeted each other and came this way.

Angelica took a deep breath and decided to return to her usual self.

“Sir Lewis, can you play a song with me?”

“… Yes? Ah, it is an honor.”

Anjelica was taken aback, but for now, she held Reina’s hand in accordance with the composition.

“Then have a good trip~”

The warrior’s voice went farther behind him.

What kind of situation is this?

“It’s been a while since I thought about the old days.”

Raina smiled as she said that.

For some reason, it was a more mature smile than usual.

“… I’m wearing armor. The dress might get oily.”

“Just wipe it off.”

Reina’s voice was somehow hard.

Did something happen while dancing with the hero?

“It’s a life saver and I can’t give you anything back.”

Raina said those words with a slightly bitter expression.

“It can’t be helped. Because the lord doesn’t expect anything in return from anyone.”

“Yes. That’s the real problem.”

Reina gave her a slight nod with a helpless expression.

“In about three years, you will return to your hometown….”

Reina said that and she let out a small sigh.

Angelica suddenly felt as if the sound had disappeared from her world.

Her mouth went dry and her body stiffened.

“Sir Lewis?”

“… Oh, sorry.”

Angelica somehow came to her senses and slowly started leading Reina again.

“What kind of world would the hero live in?”

“… I’m not sure either.”

Reina thinks that she will return to her hometown after three years as a hero.

But Angelica had overheard the hero’s drunkenness.

ㅡ No, I will live here.

The warrior’s words lingered in Angelica’s mind.

She needs to correct her misconception of Reina.

But for some reason, Angelica’s mouth was saying something else.

“The dress suits you well.”

“Is that so?”

Reina let out a small sigh and looked down.

Anjelica also looked down, following Reina’s gaze.

Raina’s dress was beautiful.

Her blue dress, which accentuated her azure hair and fair skin, did not look vulgar even though it was exposed.

It was a very stylish dress that contained elegance, s*xiness, and innocence on the other hand.

Would you say it’s clothes that capture the fleeting moment of a girl becoming a woman?

She was so different from the hard armor she was wearing, Angelica was in a complicated mood in many ways.

“Aren’t you cold?”

But it was a very unsuitable outfit for Aucklia.

“I wouldn’t have known before, but it’s different now, right?”

Reina smiled and looked around her.

Follow Reina’s gaze to see her rocket stoves all over her.

‘Sure….’

Anjelica remembered a story that a warrior once uttered in passing.

‘You said that in the future, clothes that prioritize aesthetic elements will become more popular.’

With the advent of rocket stoves, people can spend autumn and winter relatively warmly.

So, it was said that more and more people would be looking for relatively light clothes even in the fall and winter.

“What do you think?”

“I remembered what your lord said before.”

“… What is it?”

“You said that in the future, clothes that prioritize aesthetic elements will be popular.”

After hearing Angelica’s words, Raina showed a regretful expression that the answer she had been waiting for did not come back.

“Ah~ I’m sure that might be the case.”

However, that expression was so fleeting that she couldn’t notice Angelica, who was not in her usual condition.

“It’s the academy’s entrance ceremony in a little while.”

“Are you nervous?”

“I’d be lying if I said no, right?”

Anjelica felt very unfamiliar with Reina today.

She showed a similar accent and gestures as usual, but for some reason, I felt a strange sense of incongruity, as if she had grown up.

And, very occasionally, she seemed to be searching for something.

What the hell is that?

“What kind of people will come?”

“I think there will be people who love Lady very much.”

“I’m sure it is.”

Reina smiled and nodded her head at Angelica’s joke and her sincerity.

“Are you not sorry? Sir Louis likes the Lady.”

“I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t sorry.”

Angelica took back her words exactly as Reyna did of her.

Reina looked at her with a slightly apologetic expression.

“There must be many people who cannot enter the academy because of their age, right?”

“Yes, I heard that.”

“I’m really sorry.”

Raina repeatedly said that she was sorry.

The moment Angelica was about to feel a strange sense of incongruity in her words, Reina opened her mouth again.

“Anyone my age is still single, right?”

“There may be fiancées, but I think most of them are single.”

“As expected….”

“Do you have any problems?”

“I think there are people who enter the school aiming for the writer.”

… I’m sure it is.

For those who do not know the identity of the hero, Bright is a very greedy prey.

He has proven his ability with his own strength, not his family, and is a man of enormous wealth.

Moreover, she is in her 20s and is still unmarried.

So there must be nobles who are aiming for the hero.

“I’m worried.”

“… Is that so?”

“Yes.”

Reina gave her a small nod, then she turned her head to the side with a slightly embarrassed expression.

“I like you too.”

At that moment, the sound disappeared from the world.

Angelica forgot that she was dancing and she stood there.

However, Reina was not too disturbed by Angelica’s appearance.

Because the music in the hall had stopped before I knew it.

“Thanks for the lead, Sir Louis.”

“Yes… yes.”

Angelica finally realized that the music in the hall had stopped.

I was dizzy.

For some reason, I felt like I couldn’t breathe well.

Angelica stumbled and she moved to the corner of the hall.

Raina stared at Angelica and headed to the place where her family was waiting.

‘Aren’t you telling me?’

There were several opportunities.

It was also induced to make it easier to speak.

But in the end, Angelica did not tell Reina that her hero would not return to her hometown.

‘It’s cowardly.’

“Lady, can you sing a song with her brother?”

“I will politely decline.”

“That… !”

‘The writer is also a man.’

After acting in a different way than usual, the hero’s behavior became more cautious.

I was quite impressed with how he paid attention to his words and actions.

It was regrettable that a little distance had developed, but Reina decided to think of it as a good phenomenon.

‘I’m sorry, sister Anje. For being mean.’

But I don’t think it would be without him.

Reina looked up at the night sky and bathed her shaky conscience in the blue moonlight.
