"The truth is, aren't the three of them compatible?"

Julia thought so, looking at the three gift boxes in front of her.

Senders are Eusto, Cyril and Felix, respectively.

It was separate so that items do not overlap. What they all have in common is that they all go very well with the dress prepared for tomorrow's banquet.

Felix sent a jewelry set close to his partner's privileges. Cyril sent gloves, shoes and perfume, and Eusto sent a beautifully crafted dagger with Tiara.

'All together...'

They were all touching Julia's body. Their hearts have been conveyed. The desire to reach Julia in this way.

"…plainage, right?"

Julia's question gave her a nod, not a hint of concealment.

"I answered, "What kind of dress do you wearing.”

"Hmmm……."

"You're all the ones who'll be in the concubine, aren't you?”

Julia just smiled at her words. I couldn't cheat on Flena without knowing anyone else. Because she always watched Julia with a friendly smile.

"Last time, Felix and the Duke of Marcus gave it to me as a gift, and I thought it would be okay...….”

Plena put cold wine in front of Julia and asked anxiously.

"Did I do anything presumptuous, Your Majesty?"

"No."

Julia shook her head. It would be better to have a window like her for themselves. If it's Plena, she'll control how much she can spill.

"You can help me with this in the future."

However, this permission was also a word for Julia to acknowledge her strange relationship with the three.

"All right, the other kids will have fun.”

Flena put on a more pleasant face than usual, saying so.

"Other kids?"

When Julia saw other courtiers waiting behind her, she looked surprised as if she had been stabbed. Flena went on as if to tell Julia not to frighten other children.

"Sure, it's a most enjoyable topic for us who work in the palace.”

"…is it going to happen again?"

"I didn't tell your Majesty that I didn't have to play it, but it's already been a hot topic since the last Empress case."

Julia opened her eyes wide at the words.

'No... of course.'

When I lived as Song Ha, the scandal of celebrities was always a hot topic. Even if they don't say they're dating, the story of whether they're actually dating was a regular gossip.

"In addition, the fact that you let them in means that we will serve them.

"Well……."

"We have no choice but to wonder who will be the empress and when you will be married."

Julia vaguely guessed what might be said among the courtiers.

'I feel like I'm going to make a bet.….’

Come to think of it, I can't say anything about the Empress because of Brick, but I'm sure you haven't forgotten.

I'm sure everyone's curious.’

As I got there, I realized one more reason why everyone was paying more attention to this banquet. It wasn't just Felix, the elder wizard, and looking into the future.

Plus, the game has really changed.’

When Brick competed, it was a matter of Brick or Eustonia for various reasons. But now there are three candidates.

Eusto, Cyril, Felix.

All three had sufficient qualities as the emperor's empress.

In addition, Cyril was Brickgun's biggest contributor last time. Enough for a reward. Indeed, Julia had considered lowering him to Duke or Marquis.'The problem is he refused.’

Cyril said he doesn't want to be interested in anything other than the current Chancellor's office. In fact, Count Venus was managed by his brother. The fact remains a heartwarming tale among the present aristocrats.

"I can't believe you're going into exile for the Empire. He's a real piece of work.'

'Why don't you get a title that you just need to get? You'll get money just by receiving it...….’

"Isn't it all because as Chancellor of the Empire, we can't do sloppy things?"

Thanks to this, he was mentioned as a candidate for the empress alongside his original duke, Eustona, and Felix, who became a knight of the dukes on his own.

'Did you even aim for this reaction by calculating...….’

Come to think of it, it was from his refusal to accept the title and entering the exile tower. He was from another country, unlike Eusto and Felix.

Through this incident, he gained a strong favor from the existing Ranchean nobles. It could shake Eusto's position, and it was ambiguous, but it was a pretty big income for them to come to trust.

'You can't take it easy either…….’

It wasn't just work, it was really he was seriously. It was unclear, of course, whether it was really after the empress.

"Your Majesty, are you going to keep thinking?"

"Huh?"

Plena laughed as she looked at the quiet Julia.

"I hope you don't know how tight your schedule is tomorrow.”

"Yes, I know. So already...….”

"It's been a long time since the sun set. You should go to bed now.”

Flena's expression showed determination. Julia woke up slowly, looking at a glass of wine that had almost finished.

Tomorrow was the first time in a while that the maidens could decorate Julia to their heart's content. As much as you usually pretend not to know their desires, it was good to listen to them on a day like this. It wasn't like they didn't know what they were.

Julia calmly began to prepare to go to bed at Flena's word.

The palace became busy. Eusto checked the guards until the morning of the banquet. For that reason, it was not until the afternoon that he entered the waiting room near the banquet hall, which was allocated to him.

"You're really early."

Eusto simply responded silently to the old butler's resentment toward him in the eye. Still, the experienced Duke Marcus was able to prepare himself on time thanks to the hands of his servants.

I controlled my diet and exercise more thoroughly than usual until yesterday. The same was true of other nobles attending banquets, but it was more like a ceremony for Eusto.

The first was to dress properly in front of Julia, and the second was to be raised as Duke of Marcus. Each shirt and jacket in a tailcoat prepared for the banquet should not have been a bit messy. In fact, his tight-fitting clothes gave him a touch of abstinence and s*xiness.

"As you said, I've prepared a cuff button."

Eusto nodded at Deacon Roh's words. Today's partner was Felix and, out of courtesy, couldn't fit perfectly with Julia's dress.

Instead, the cuffs chose one made of diamonds and gold to match the color of her dress. Today, Julia wore a white fabric and a gold embroidered dress.

It was when Eusto put on a cuff button. I felt a regular step. It's quite far from other waiting rooms. But Eusto was not wary because he knew who the owner of the sound was.Soon there was a knock.

"Excuse me for a moment."

Soon after, the owner of the step opened the door with an unfriendly tone. With a feisty expression, Krabat, who tied his neck as tightly as his personality, caught my eye. In the middle of Krabat was a pin decorated with gold and diamonds as well. Besides, he didn't have glasses on his face as usual. He was as well dressed as Eusto.

"What's the matter, Count Venus?"

At Eusto's question, Cyril briefly glanced at his cuff button and looked at him again.

"It's about a banquet today…….”

Saying so, he turned to the servants of the Duke of Marcus. Eusto realized what he had to say and told others to back off.

"Did something happen?"

Cyril put out the documents he brought to the horse.

"This is the result of Count Arden's projection."

"…hmmm."

"In addition to the suspicious, the information is not consistent among those who accompany us beyond schedule."

Eusto scanned the document with a serious face. He thought in his head of ophthalmology, which he had made a final inspection of the Guard today, and the measures he had made just in case. After a brief thought, Eusto nodded, slightly loosening the wrinkles between his eyes.

"I don't think it's a big problem."

"That's a relief."

“…….”

Eusto stared at Cyril, who said so. I never thought I'd face this way when I conspired against him a long time ago.

"It's a complex face."

It was Cyril who first opened his mouth to that gaze.

"…is that so."

Eusto shut up for a moment and said.

"I think Count Venus is more complicated than I am."

It was a stiff, expressionless remark, but Cyril read it shrewdly. Cyril, who has never been an official partner with Yulia, meant that it is more complicated.

"You're relaxed."

Cyril said with a funny face that she was worried about her. Eusto's eyebrows wriggled for a while, but he soon replied with a stiff face.

"Is that so?"

"I don't care. After all, I."

“……?”

That's all Cyril said, then turned around. You didn't have to tell Eusto what to say next.

'Even if you're not the empress... I'll be your partner.’

It was a conviction, a done deal for Cyril himself.

It was early in the evening, but the banquet hall was already crowded. It meant that they had a lot of topics to talk about at this banquet.

"I'm looking forward to a banquet attended by the Elder Wizard."

"Well, I've heard that ordinary court wizards are senior or senior at best.”

"Even the court wizard isn't easy to see."

The nobles had a little talk about the wizards they would see at the banquet today. Basically, wizards were so rare, and talented people often did not come out of the tower for the rest of their lives. There was such a tendency to be closed.

"Come to think of it, Your Majesty is amazing."

"Why?"

One aristocrat's words were answered by another aristocrat, Earl Roheil, who had just come up for this banquet.

"You're holding a banquet like this a month after the Earl of Weddin incident.

"Well, you said you're still on the trail, right?”

"Yes, actually, my husband was even very nervous about having to go to the banquet today.

"The Countess?”

The nobles gathered with the horse burst into laughter once. Count Roheil, who was suddenly identified, blushed shamefully."Maybe it's because I've lived a life far from war, and I've been trying to manage in the Earl's...….”

"I understand, Earl Rohale. I was actually a little scared, too.”

"You, too?"

"Where was the rumor normal? The nobles attacked without even recognizing their servants...….”

"It's gonna be okay. That's when Count Weddin tried to set you up, so you could set him up."

"Will it be okay today?"

She waved her hands and laughed as if not to worry at the words of another aristocrat.

"Of course, Your Majesty can't be so sloppy, can he?”

Other nobles nodded at the words. In addition, today was nothing but a celebration of the Great Wizard. That is why other nobles attended the celebration.

"I care about my husband quite a bit. I wouldn't have come if I really thought it would be dangerous."

"Oh, you're on good terms, Earl Rohale.”

"Otherwise, there's no reason to be together all the time."

Count Roheil smiled and folded my slender husband's arms. The countess was shy and blinked.

"By the way, I heard it was Earl Roheil's first trip to the capital."

"Yes, that's right. I left it to him, and he had a lot of little things to care about on the estate."

She said so, gently patting her curled hair with her hands.

Count Roheil, which she ruled, was located in the northeastern part of the continent. It was not too far from Count Envida, where Julia had previously traveled, and it was also a territory from a country close to the border with Eaton.

She came to the capital shortly after hearing the story of the banquet. As soon as he came, he went around the salon and was so friendly that he had already met many aristocrats.

"The North must have a lot of things to worry about."

"If you look away a little, there are so many people who do other things.”

"Oh, come to think of it, I've heard that Count Roheil brought you great things to eat.”

The count waved his hand at the horse and said.

"It's not great, it's a few minerals from the north."

The nobles looked at her as if they were great at the words. There was also a strange sense of jealousy in the eyes. Count Roheil owned several mines with high quality jewels and minerals.

"That mine has been spreading to you until now."

"I think the capital is about to clear up, so do you want to make a ball or something?’

'Cause someone's a hyena in the North.'

Especially the nobles who were not from Ranchea looked down on her. Count Rohale's modesty, his good relationship with his husband.

In particular, Count Roheil was famous for not losing money during wars and deals with other countries and other countries for a long time. Therefore, the nickname was "Hyena of the North." But no one said anything against her. It was because they were not even in a bad relationship.

In addition, Count Rohale was not the only nobleman to attend the banquet. This banquet seemed more like a venue for aristocratic harmony after reunification than the New Year's banquet. Of course, there was also interest in the seat next to Emperor Julia.

"Your partner today will be a coachman, right?"

"I don't care."

"Do you think you're going to bring the Lord of Matap to the Empress?”

"I can't guarantee that. There's the Duke of Marcus.….”

They gathered in twos and threes and talked about the empress of Julia.

One of the reasons why this banquet was important was because I had to decide who to push to the empress. Especially those who had been up against Brick before were more nervous.Julia was not bringing up the subject of the empress, but she should not have missed the opportunity.

'This time, you have to push the right person...….’

'You can't fail again.’

The nobles vaguely knew that the last empress conditions Julia offered were all time-consuming. So I thought the most important thing was Julia's intention.

'The one you show the most favor with...….’

Giuliani, who has never done anything wrong, would have been the same for this banquet. It was necessary to recognise who Julia favored more.

Is the Empress the only one that matters? It wasn't the empress who always had the greatest power, it was the queen.’

The nobles banged their abacus hard inside each. And there were those who took offense at such conversations. They were none other than the elders of the tower.

"Humph, you must be really smart."

"Of course, they're not wizards. Of course you're smart."

"They are easy to live by what they have since they were born."

They simply ruled out the fact that their magical talents were also innate. Elder wizards entered the banquet hall and were told such stories. It was all for Felix.

"I've come to say this is a celebration of the Lord of the Matap…….”

"Isn't it really unpleasant? I don't respect our madam...….”

The two senior wizards clicked their tongues.

"No, why is the Empress so important in the first place?"

"Doesn't the Lord want it?"

"It's not a big deal compared to the one at the top."

The elders, both tongue-tied and shrewd, traveled throughout the banquet hall to gather information. It was a completely different attitude from the first time Felix came to the Wizard's Tower. It was because they were fascinated by Felix's perfectly superior skills because they were highly researcher-oriented wizards. When Felix overwhelmingly destroyed the test in a short period of time, they had no choice but to admit it.

'He's a genius that won't be seen in the next thousand years...…!’

Moreover, as long as Felix became a hemp wizard, the owner of the tower was him. It was impossible for their heads to be treated worse than others.

"It would be nice if you could just study comfortably in the tower...….”

"I know, what are we doing at this age?"

The two gray-haired elders kicked their tongues and did their part. All of which Felix never asked me to do. Along with him, they also checked out those who did suspicious things.

Cornou said the Lord of the Matap cares about the bollocks at the banquet.’

Senior wizards, hiding their appearances, scattered madogu over suspicious nobles at a slow pace. They were all tools that could be quite spicy.

To match the nerdy nature of the wizards.

"Felix……?"

When I opened the door after all the grooming, Felix stood with a grimace. When Julia called him wonderingly, he quickly changed to a lovely look.

"Your Majesty..."

He took a step closer and looked at Julia. No wonder my eyes were so moved. The gaze, which used to be slightly below her, has now grown so much that it was above her.

"You're so gorgeous today, Your Majesty."

Felix looked enchantedly at Julia, saying so.

As if it's a waste to miss her every second.

"I wanted to dress you up, as a matter of fact.

"Tonight, Jim's hand is yours, so why don't you give it to Flena?"Julia swept Felix's bangs lightly, saying so.

'I really feel like an adult...….’

Felix has grown a little taller in the meantime, perhaps during his time of growth. Not only that, but his face was full of maturity, no one could ever say he was young. Especially when dressed up as it is now, it was more adult. He was slender, but he was gorgeous with wide shoulders. It makes your heart flutter a little heart flutter.

"Felix is really cool today, too."

"…really?"

The tone of voice that says so was a little lower than before. He slowly reached out his hand to Yulia, a little shy.

"Will you join me today, please?”

His hand was bigger than Yulia's. Julia reached out her hand over his long, moderately articulated hand. She wrapped her hand in a relaxed trembling heart.

Then soon he kissed the back of her hand and smiled softly. It was a smile that made good use of his lovely and youthful appearance.

"Tonight, I'll give you everything you want."

If anyone else had said it, I might have heard it as a joke. But there was strength in his words.

"Everything Jim wants...….”

"Yes, you know I can, right?”

Felix overlaid her with the image of a blind man on the face of a lovely boy.

"Here comes Master Felix, the master of the Ranchean Empire, Her Majesty Jullia Domina Berius, the master of the mast!"

The door to the banquet hall opened with the loud voice of the servant. People in the banquet hall looked at the door with more nervous faces than usual.

Julia, escorted by Felix, looked more dignified than usual. The standing collar-shaped dress, which comes up to the neck, was carefully embroidered with gold, making it luxurious. The skirt hem of the elegant gold dress hangs gently.

Felix, who escorts her, wears a black cape suit to contrast with Julia. Unlike the fancy Julia dress, only the sleeves and collar were embroidered. But the simplicity blends in to make Julia stand out and stand out perfectly.

"Something tells me that you look more beautiful and dignified than usual."

"Well, is it thanks to the masturbation? It's not like when you're with Duke Marcus."

The nobles nodded at the words. Originally beautiful and gorgeous Yulia, I felt more of her kingly side today. In addition, everyone was amazed at Felix.

"I don't know. His Majesty's crazy... What do you mean, a horse-tower?"

"Yeah, I think it was a lot smaller at the New Year's banquet last year."

Surprisingly speaking of the two, the nobles received a prickly stare somewhere. With puzzled faces, they looked around, but could not find the owner of the gaze.

The owner of the gaze was, of course, the elder wizards of the pagoda. They were revealed because the banquet began in earnest. However, he used magic to erase his presence because he didn't want to be bothered.

"What a rude thing to say to the Lord of the Tower."

"You're right. If the Lord hadn't stopped me, I would have cast a moderate curse spell.”

The senior wizards spoke, stroking only their magic tools with regret.

"…even so, somehow I can't say anything more."

"You're right. You look so happy.”

They were wizards who showed hostility to Yulia until the banquet began. But when the two entered, they automatically shut up. Felix's gaze at Julia was really full of affection. As if he was at a loss because he was in this situation, he was obviously in love."What we're going to do doesn't change.”

"Yes, although it is the first time that the Matap has been involved in this out-of-the-box business."

"That much, we have to make it more perfect. With the pride of the tower."

The senior wizards nodded and quietly breathed mana into the magic tool. I'm not being serious, but they've noticed there's some danger to this banquet.

No matter how Felix came out with the intention of using the mast, he wanted to make good memories for him who became their owner as much as possible.

"I don't think they can take their eyes off Felix."

When Julia whispered quietly, Felix replied as if that could not be the case.

"Everyone has a crush on you.”

At the same time, Felix showed a slight disappointment.

"I like how others admire you when they see you in such a great way... It's a shame."

"Huh?"

"Because I think I want to see it alone.

Julia smiled, gently drawing a line at the honest words.

"I'm sure there are parts that only Felix can see.”

He nodded contentedly at the soothing words. Julia felt that he had really changed, too.

I would've nodded harder if I were you.’

It's so cute that I want to stroke my hair. It wasn't without a cute side even now, but it was a more serious and elegant attitude.

I felt a little disappointed, but it was good that I could feel his growth. I mean, he realized himself that he shouldn't just be a child in Julia's arms.

'Oh, come to think of it...….’

Suddenly, Felix's face came to mind before the banquet began. Why he frowned while waiting for himself.

"Come to think of it, Felix. Is there something that bothers you?”

"What?"

"When I was waiting for Jim, I thought so."

Felix let out a small sigh at the words. Soon his face blushed with shame.

"Your majesty, you haven't spoken properly to the Mastap wizards yet, have you?”

"Yes, it wasn't an opportunity.”

Moreover, they are so closed that I thought it would be better to approach them carefully.

"Then could you please leave their care to me alone?”

Julia made a curious face at the words. Without permission, their management was Felix's remit in the first place. Matap is an independent place, so it was not ruled by the emperor Julia.

"Felix, if you like."

"…Really?"

Felix looked at Julia with a surprised look.

"Then, you are the owner of the tower."

"…but I'm also your man, right?”

There was a slight glimmer of disappointment.

'I think there's a reason why you don't want to contact the Mastap wizards...….’

Still, it seemed bitter that Julia did not monopolize and control him. Julia laid back and looked at Felix. Dark, dark eyes were staring straight at her. Julia opened her mouth, slightly stroking his arm with her hand on it.

"I'm willing to leave it to you because I think it's your man.”

The hair sticking out of his ears slightly disheveled was reached out and arranged. Felix's ears turned a little red.

"Even if you're the master, it doesn't change the fact that you're Jim's lovely Felix."

Felix stared blankly for a moment at her words and soon nodded. He showed a bright smile with a happy and lovely face.

"Sure, I belong to you no matter what."Julia laughed quietly at the words. He looked at the face and made up his mind.

"I must deal with the elders who were dissatisfied with you.’

It may, of course, depend on how they play at today's banquet.

The conversation between the two was small and could not be heard by anyone else. However, it was good to imagine what kind of conversation would take place between the two just by facial expressions alone.

"Oh, my God, how can you be so sweet?"

"Well, I've never seen you look so comfortable."

"Maybe it's because the Lord of the Matap has always been at his closest?"

The nobles happily guessed between Julia and Felix. Brick and Eusto's battle for the empress has been a delightful topic of conversation in the arid social world.

"I'm sure your first dance will be with the masturbator, right?”

"Of course, it's customary."

People watched with more interest than their first dance, focusing more on Yulia's first dance partner. There was another reason why they focused on the actions of the two. The conversation seemed to focus on Julia's opponent.

'Then the time to talk to that crazy sheep is...….’

'You will never be taken away by another man.’

In reality, he was aiming for when he would be able to reach Felix. Felix would never show up in society unless it was a time like this.

While everyone was watching them nervously, there were people approaching the two. The nobles clenched their hands as they looked at them. It's a scene where it feels like a perfect love affair will happen.

"Your Majesty, do you feel any discomfort?"

It was Cyril who asked so with a smile. Felix gave Cyril an ungrateful look at the words.

"How can you be uncomfortable with me?”

"I don't think he's used to this kind of place.”

Felix frowned at Cyril's mean words. In the meantime, Eusto slowly approached and offered an example to Yulia.

"You are very beautiful and wonderful today, Your Majesty."

He kissed the back of Julia's empty hand and whispered.

"You're cool enough. More than that... ..."

Julia winked at the two as if to moderate.

'You didn't really come together to compete...….’

It wasn't Julia who didn't know why they had to approach now.

"Did you find anything wrong?"

His face was infinitely tender, but his words were truly imperial. Most nobles were already in the mood for banquets. But Julia and her aides have not forgotten the purpose of the banquet.

"This is a message from Count Arden."

Eusto whispered close to her ear like a sweetheart. Seeing that, some of the nobles briefly exclaimed. But the actual conversation was not really sweet.

"He's in the banquet hall. "He."

"…as expected."

Julia pulled the corners of her mouth and laughed. Anyone who doesn't know the conversation will think that she is satisfied with the language of love. She naturally reached out her other hand to Cyril. Cyril also relaxed and kissed the back of her hand.

"The princess and the stand-in are perfectly ready."

"Yes, I like it."

Julia slowly lowered her hand. It was time for the first dance to begin. When she looked at Felix, the two men politely backed off.

Felix reached out to her with a very elegant and upright gesture.

"Will you please give me the glory of the first dance, Your Majesty.""I'm happy."

Julia put her hand on Felix's arm, saying so.

'Huh...…?'

As soon as she grabbed his arm, Julia was a little surprised inside. It was because his arms, which seemed thin, were harder than I thought. Felix just smiled happily as she looked at her gaze at her arm.

Soon the performance began and the two slowly started dancing. Most people around me looked at the scene in admiration.

"You two look great together."

"You're right. I didn't know I could see this a few months ago.….”

"Your Majesty looks more comfortable than usual, doesn't he?”

"Right, but it's not just comfortable...….”

The nobles, saying so, felt the soft air flowing between the two.

It was a soft and stable atmosphere, but the excitement felt fresh in between. In particular, Felix's eyes toward Julia felt a little different from before.

'I used to think I was just crazy about you...….’

It was still blind even now. But there was a mixture of more serious and adult colors. Despite quite a lot of attention, the two focused on dancing without much attention.

"What's wrong, Your Majesty?"

"Well……."

Julia hesitated for a moment when asked carefully by Felix.

How can I explain this feeling?’

He grew up, and when he came back from the mast, he had already realized it. But looking at today's banquet, it was clear that it wasn't just the appearance that grew. Come to think of it, the way of speaking, usually armed with cuteness, was also slightly different.

"It's a little disappointing."

"What do you mean, you're sorry?”

"Because you suddenly felt Felix grew up so much?"

He gave a moment's look of surprise at the words. But soon replied with a gentle smile.

"Even so, I'm still your lovely Felix."

He talked a little closer to her, dancing. With a slight nod, his hair tickled his forehead slightly.

"You're right. No matter how much it changes, Felix is Felix."

"I'm the only one in the company who speaks so comfortably."

Julia laughed softly at the words. Her conversation in a very comfortable way was with a couple of maidens and Felix. Unlike before, there were times when I wanted to speak comfortably, perhaps because of my life as Song-ha.

I was supposed to be conscious of the comfortable way of speaking.’

Now either side felt like a habit of talking.

'Come to think of it, was it Felix who first used this tone...….’

When she first met Felix, Julia didn't use this tone. To be honest...….

'Cause I was an emperor to the bone.’

It was so, in a good sense, in a bad sense. So, of course, no other maid was as nice to her as she is now.

'It was so cute how Felix said it...….’

When I answered him in a cute way, I changed my tone a little bit. As if your tongue gets shorter when you talk to a child. Felix was much shorter and more like a cute brother when we first met.

'I'll be a real help to you.’

Yeah, I'm looking forward to it.’

I mean it. I mean it's true.’

"Yes, Jim is really looking forward to it, too.’

He would pat Felix's hair by saying so. Felix used to show a lovely smile with a cute face, as if the touch were happy. The little boy, who was begging to take him away, always appealed to him like that. He compared himself to others by Julia's side, fretted, and regretted.'When did you grow up like this?’

Julia looked at him out of her mind. Her longing gaze remained truly unchanged then and now.

"Your Majesty."

"Huh?"

Blackman Felix's eyes looked darker today.

"I don't want to let go of your hand right after this dance."

"Are you applying for the next dance?"

It wasn't customary to dance with the same partner in a row.

It's not a big deal.

Who can say anything about Yulia dancing with the same partner in a row?

"At best, I'll only assume that I'm going to make Felix the empress."’

It wasn't a big deal for her either. Because Julia was going to shake the aristocracy so much that they wouldn't be sure. She had no intention of turning the empress into a factional fight.

"You don't have to drag it too long to do that.

There will also be aristocrats who think they were beaten by Yulia, but it was none of my business. But Felix smiled and shook his head.

"…somewhat I don't have enough time to be alone with you."

"Huh?"

Slowly, the two men's feet stopped responding like that. It was because the performance of the dance was already over. Felix grabbed Julia's hand carefully and kissed her slowly on the back.

The deep and deep eyes poked cutely at Yulia.

"A little longer, I'd like to hog your hand."

"I will."

“…….”

Felix looked surprised at Julia's readily answered words. Soon, the big eyes folded and laughed ecstaticly. The look on her face instantly gave Julia a thud.

'…how could he laugh like that?’

I thought it was a waste.

It's not just you, but others. In fact, I felt all the nobles who saw Felix's face holding their breathless.

"Of course you are."

Even the aristocrats, who had always cared about him, looked captivated. He was always like an angel.

Now that there's a grown-up vibe to it.’

Even Yulia, who saw Felix smile countless times, swallowed her breath.

"…let's go out to the terrace for a while.”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Felix escorted her toward the terrace with a slight nod. It looked so good together that it was like a dream. It's too bad that you two disappeared to the other side of the terrace.

It was only after the second dance began that the nobles realized that they had missed the right time to talk to Felix.

"Don't you dance?"

At the same time, Cyril turned her head to the voice that flew into her ear as if to barge in.

"As you can see, I don't have a partner."

"May I ask you to dance?”

Cyril's eyebrow rose slightly at the words of a woman with ashblond hair.

'…the interest must be.'

It was Count Roheil, the northern hyena. It was my first time actually mixing words. However, I often visited salons and saw their faces as if they were passing by. Cyril circled only the wine in her hand, apparently not interested in her suggestion.

"I don't have much taste in dancing. Sadly."

"Is that so?"

Despite the cold words, she approached him with a nice smile.

"May I spend some time with you until the end of the third song?”

"I refuse. I like being alone."

"You're a strange man."

Count Rohale did not care and called the servants to receive wine.

"Greetings are late, Count Venus. I am Count Roheil of the North."

She introduced herself with a relaxed face. Then he stood near Cyril and looked at the hall."Well, I can see it.”

“…….”

"You're all watching from here.”

Count Rohale slowly drank wine, and spoke interestingly.

"Who has an impure heart towards His Majesty...….”

Cyril looked at her with icy eyes at the horse.

"You have scary eyes."

"I think you've forgotten it's the palace."

"Don't be so hard on me, I'm not your enemy, nor Count Venus."

She said, touching her well-dried hair slightly with her hands.

"It's just a merchant."

'…an aristocrat who calls himself a merchant.’

Cyril turned to the hall again with a more obnoxious face at her words.

"One of the people who changed his company."

The person she originally brought with her was her son. It was today that it turned into a husband.

"I couldn't say no to bringing her husband.’

Moreover, I was reluctant to speak on the assumption that I would doubt myself for granted. Cyril's stiff face and she laughed, letting go of her fiddling hair.

"Don't be so hard on me. I'm just counting, really.”

For a moment, I felt strength in my hand holding wine.

“…….”

"Don't you want to make a deal with me, Count Venus."

Cyril didn't answer the question and looked at her quietly.

"I'll be of some help."

"Help?"

"You don't want the empress."

Cyril laughed dumbfoundedly at the words.

"Maybe Earl Rohale is not very talented in business."

"Is that so?"

"When I see you pick someone who doesn't have any margin left."

"You mean you've already given up?"

Cyril said to her, leaning straight against the wall.

"No, I just thought that I had no eye for what I wasn't going to put on the stand."

It was a very sharp eye. Cyril left the post so that she could no longer speak to him. Count Rohale fiddled with the bracelet on his hand, looking at his back.

"…don't put it on the stand.”

She looked at her bracelet. The brilliant mineral from the Earl of Roheil, and the largest of them, had an unusual pattern.

Unlike the banquet hall, which was packed with people, near the terrace was dead calm.

"Quiet."

"I thought you'd like this kind of thing."

"…did you do something?”

He just tilted slightly at Julia's question. It's a question that would normally have nodded vigorously. Instead, he raised his hand and talked.

"Your Majesty has given us time alone."

There was embarrassment in my eyes.

"It's a rare opportunity for me, so I didn't want to be disturbed, so...….”

There was a note of bitterness in his voice.

"In fact, I may have given priority to what I wanted to do, rather than what you would like.”

Julia shook her head at the words.

"No, Felix would have thought Jim would like it first.”

"Your Majesty..."

"Actually, I know Jim doesn't like to be in the limelight."

Felix's ears turned slightly red at the words. And one more thing, there was something on my mind.

"It's all right to beg you forward, Felix."

"…what?"

"If you need time alone with Jim, feel free."

“…….”

Complexity spread over Felix's face. Then, he slightly covered his mouth with the hand of the captured Julia.Chips -

I could feel the soft texture of my lips with the palm of my hand. He looked at her coyly and talked.

"If you'll let me... I might keep wanting it.”

"I'm just saying it's okay."

"…how much is it?"

"As much as Felix wants."

He would never put himself in a difficult position.

'No, I might do it in a different way, but...….’

At least it's not in a range that you can't really accept. Felix then stroked her knuckles slowly. I kissed slowly enough to make a chuckle at each joint.

Julia just looked at him still.

You're hesitating.

The men she chose were all cautious. She's showing her heart, but she's afraid it'll be a burden to her. I used to act like I couldn't give up, I couldn't fold, but I could handle it alone.

Julia clasped her hand held by him. I'll accept it, as if you're coming.

"…Your Majesty."

"Yes."

"You know everything about me, don't you?”

Julia waited silently for his words. He swallowed his breath once, and talked to Julia eye to eye.

"From the moment you said you could follow me... It was your Majesty's Felix."

"Yes."

"So, of course you know… But I was greedy."

Felix slowly lowered himself in front of Julia. The gaze that was higher than he used to be, or even lower than that. He looked up at Julia with a lovely face and said.

"I wanted to tell you something, if you all know... I wanted to tell you in words.”

Julia just stayed put. I thought even positive words would interfere with his time now. I wanted to let you reveal all your feelings for yourself.

Felix once again kissed the back of her hand and spoke in a nice way.

"I adore you, Your Majesty."

He conveyed his feelings in the past tense.

"I've been in awe ever since I first met you."

When meeting for the first time Julia felt a little glazed by the words.

He was abandoned by his parents from the moment he was born.

'Because I was a genius...….’

From the moment he was born, he was able to convey his feelings. Fresh born, I couldn't control the overflowing magic. The magic, which was mixed into magic without awareness and exploded like instinct, was completely mixed with the emotions of a child.

They were afraid of the child because they felt the way they wanted to. I gave it to save, but that was it. Under cover of the war, they abandoned Felix. This smart kid just accepted it.

The child, who was left alone in a strange village, learned how to repay him to endure contempt. Everyone ostracized him, and even his outstanding talent was called a curse. A child who wasn't loved only knew how to attack to protect himself.

'How come... Are you okay?'

When Julia first saved him, he rushed like a young beast. Even the Guard was inaccessible because of the storm.

Then, Julia approached Felix by herself.

'Cause I thought it would be useful.’

It was never just a warm heart. Because she was already an emperor then.

No matter how much you put your claws up, you can't hurt Jim.’

'…Really?'

'It just seems like a mild dose of codswallop to Jim.’

It was the sound that came to mind when I saw his curly hair. With curly hair, black eyes, and a cute face. They all looked like lambs.

Young Felix approached Yulia with a curious face. Then he tapped his finger on the back of her hand. His magic was tried, but all of them were shaken by the light.'…it doesn't really work.’

There was no despair in the face of the young boy who said so. It was rather a bright face. As if it was a lie that you just had a grim look on your face.

"That's when I thought you were cute."

Young Felix rubbed his cheek into Julia's arms. Like an animal that's relaxed.

"Your Majesty hugged me for the first time.”

Julia nodded quietly at the words. Felix gently hugged her waist.

"Since then, I have given it all to you, me, my heart."

"…Felix."

"I admired you, I admired you, and now I admire you. I have more than that in my heart."

He looked up straight and looked at Julia.

"I know it's not just a clean feeling."

At the words, Julia realized. The reason why he's always been so aggressive. He was rejected by his parents because his first feelings were not as clear and clean as a baby. Because the instinct to survive was transmitted. Because I didn't want my parents naively.

"What's wrong with that?"

"…Your Majesty."

"I know there's no such thing as not being a burden on Felix's feelings."

Julia bent over slowly. Unlike usual, she kissed her forehead, which was revealed due to her neat bangs.

"So, you don't have to be afraid to talk."

"…Your Majesty."

"Because my baggage isn't so narrow."

Julia grabbed his hand and raised him. As if to talk to him as he is, not as a child.

His mouth was murmured. He was the only one who hesitated, always hesitated to her. Even the words that only favor existed were always picked and picked in front of Julia. Because it was inexplicably precious.

"I have a coalition with you, Your Majesty.

Felix squeezed both hands against Julia.

"I've had feelings for a young man, and I've always thought that if you wanted me to be young, I would be."

"Felix..."

"…not in your arms, but by your side… I want to be next to him.”

He clearly conveyed his feelings. To let you know that she's not the only child she saved.

To convey really deep in her heart.

At this moment in Julia's eyes, he was really no longer a boy in his arms. From the moment she came back as a matador, she grew up little by little in her heart. Like claiming to be the one who can also stand alongside her.

It was the moment when Julia slowly tried to open her mouth. The silent balcony sounded as if it were pouring out.

"…I can wait better, Your Majesty."

"Huh?"

"An ancient magic war has been detected.”

"What?"

In an instant, the sweet atmosphere changed. Felix moved his hand, erasing his affectionate eyes a little while ago.

"The location is near the place where Princess Guyana stays...….”

It's not just one place?’

Julia was surprised and looked at Felix's magic screen. The lights flashed in two places on the map of the palace.

"Argh!"

"Hey, what's this?"

As soon as I could figure it out, I heard a scream. One of them was a banquet hall.

It was when the third dance song was over. Eusto felt something was wrong.

'The sound of water……?'

A sound that could not be heard rang in my ears. It wasn't just the sound of a glass of wine hitting. As if near the river, the sound of waves hitting my ears lingered.

Eusto ordered the Guard one step ahead of what happened.

"The protection and evacuation of the nobles."

"Yes, Duke."

The Guard moved straight away without question. But the nobles were different."Why are you suddenly telling me to leave the banquet hall?”

"It looks like the nobles of Ranchea are still there!"

"Your Majesty has not returned.”

Spilling out complaints, everyone said that Eusto was only looking after the Ranchean aristocracy.

"Oh, my God! What's this?"

"Huh?"

As soon as the first person who recognized it shouted, the water stood shallow under his feet. Then, it swelled up in an instant and filled up my shin.

"Argh!"

"Hey, what's all this about? This, this, this, this, this, this is a little...…!”

"My shoes!"

"No, how do you manage waterways?"

The aristocrats, who thought the water rise was negligent, complained. But even that complaint didn't last long. That's why the water began to whirl and raise the water level.

There was no rush of water into the terrace. The transparent curtain Felix set aside for a time alone with Julia was one of the reasons.

"Felix."

He noticed what he wanted with just her short words and opened his mouth.

"It's not normal magic."

"Sure…"

"An ancient magic tool."

Julia's expression hardened at Felix's words.

Clearly, Eton's ancient magic tools were two things: fantasy and fire.’

It was what Camelia and Leoncia said with confidence.

That's....

'Eton attracted more ancient magic tool owners...….’

Stammering through his past memories, no more ancient magic owners have been revealed than this life.

'Yes, you wouldn't have moved without any guarantee.’

Julia calmed down briefly and instructed Felix.

"This will only cause confusion."

"Other elders will be able to stop it.”

"Can you leave it to them?"

"Of course, it's not just a horse-tower."

Julia nodded and asked him one more thing.

"Then Jim should show up at the banquet hall for a while. Even the agitated nobles will calm down."

"Just leave it to me."

Felix, along with him, paved the way for Julia to enter the banquet hall. Water flooded into the terrace. But the water split from side to side without being able to get near the two.

"Everyone, calm down.”

Julia's not high voice resonated in the banquet hall. Frustrated by the already thigh-deep water, the nobles turned nervously.

"Water..."

"How..."

The aristocrats, who had been wandering around without even listening to the guards, became a little quiet. It was such an amazing sight.

"Felix."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Felix bowed politely to her and took an example. Then, soon, several colored cubes poured out of his hands. The colours scattered throughout the banquet hall.

"Oh, no... those people."

"Look at those clothes and cape. It's a symbol of the tower!"

The senior wizards, who appeared as if they were surrounding the banquet hall, had serious faces. Of course, there was a mixed look of dissatisfaction. They tried magic using different magic tools.

Between Felix and the senior wizards, colors exchanged several times. Without stopping, the rising water level began to calm down slowly. Then the nobles' embarrassment gradually subsided.

"Are you calm now?"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty...".”

Julia took a short breath.

"Jim knows who did all this."

"It's not just a matter of numbers!"

"If it was a waterway problem, would it be necessary for the maestro or the senior wizards to work hard?"

Julia scoured the banquet hall carefully.

It's not in here.’

Julia was sure. There was no Lesio Dittas in the banquet hall now. However, there was definitely him after this.It's not good to reveal it now, at least after rescuing Guyana.’

Besides, there was one more thing she was after at this banquet. Julia spoke to them with a confident smile.

"But you don't have to be anxious. Because the Matap is with the Empire."

Felix smiled broadly at the remark as if it were natural. With that bright smile, the senior wizards looked like they were bursting into their stomachs. Unfortunately, no one was interested in their facial expressions.

'Our tower is only under one country...…!’

"But if you don't follow suit, the Lord of the Matap will not share any of his findings."

For those who lived exploring magic all their lives, it was a more brutal threat than anything else. After the work, the senior wizards activated the magic tools in anticipation of Felix's promised research results.

"Moo, water all...…!”

The water that filled the banquet hall quickly escaped outside, evaporated and disappeared. It wasn't just the nobles who admired it. Senior wizards also clicked their tongues as if they were really amazing.

'Genius is a genius, finding a way to destroy things in such a short time.…!’

The magic colors that Felix scattered a while ago were all the magic demonstrations that he delivered to senior wizards.

'… well, sometimes it's under another country.’

They quietly convinced themselves of their situation by the overwhelming power.

The banquet hall was arranged faster than I thought. It was thanks to Eusto and Cyril who expected this much work and took countermeasures. There, Leoncia and Camelia did a better job than I thought.

Thanks to the wizards' fault with the entire banquet hall, they no longer had to suffer from a flood. In addition, there was a warm feeling to dry the body. To some extent it was a countermeasure, but complaints popped up everywhere.

"How does it make sense not to let me bathe or change my clothes so wet!"

"Oh, you've got me a change of clothes, haven't you?"

"How could you wear such a thing? I am not like you, Earl of Arden!"

He frowned at Camelia's clothes.

"What's wrong with this outfit? It's quite warm and comfortable.”

She nonchalantly moved her body around the clothes she wore. None other than her clothes were white-yellow poncho and long boots. The soft cloth was waterproof and cold-resistant, so it was really warm and felt good.

"The problem is not that it's warm and comfortable, but how can you...…!”

Elder wizards clicked their tongues at the noble man's words.

"Are you complaining about the clothes of our mast?"

"The master of the pagoda told me that it was made of precious cloth and gave it to me.”

"I don't know the grace, tsk…….”

At the words of the senior wizards, Camelia spoke with a grin.

"Don't be so angry, elders. They're not as cool as the elders, so I don't think they can hang out."

Her words satisfied the senior wizards, and the nobles opposed. Especially those who are dressed up for today.

"No, no matter how you look at it, it's no different from what the Mastop Wizards are wearing!"

"Tsk, how can you be the same as us...….”

What the elders prepared and distributed was the poncho distributed to newcomers who had just entered the wizard's tower. It was a bright yellow color in case a newbie walked around the horse tower at will. In fact, the shape of the clothes was far from decent.

"Ay, there is no sin in the clothes……. If you're not confident about hanging out, just say you'really."No, Earl of Arden...…!”

"Right, Duke of Usdan? I look good, don't I?"

In the midst of complaints from the nobles, Leoncia smiled and nodded. She was, of course, very naturally dressed in pale yellow poncho.

"You look great, Duke of Othdan!"

"It's an honor. I look great in anything.”

Some of the nobles simply gave up and chose to shudder or change at the words of the two.

"…I really think those two have a natural talent for being hated."

"It doesn't matter, Your Majesty, because it's helpful."

At Cyril's words, Eusto replied quietly. In fact, the aristocrats, who were a little grumpy about Yulia, spoke out.

The number of aristocrats in the banquet hall remained almost unchanged. I told them that there would be no more danger, so they could go back, but no one would leave. Pretending to be safer next to the senior wizards.

"…will not leave until His Majesty returns."

Yusto nodded at Cyril's words. After calming down the banquet hall, Julia headed right outside.

It looks like a traitor went on his own.

She disappeared with Felix with the word. Therefore, more and more nobles could not leave. Because you want to see what the outcome of today's

"Is there something bothering you?"

Eusto asked, looking at Cyril, who looked unusually nervous. The face was still terribly calm when others looked at it, but the difference was that it was a little too long. Cyril looked carefully inside the banquet hall and nodded.

"I don't think Earl Rohale is here."

"…no way, obviously, just during the inspection."

Eusto looked at signs in the banquet hall with the words. He also checked suspicious people in advance. However, until just 10 minutes ago, Count Rohale's signs had disappeared.

"Nonsense…….”

"With Felix, the Lord of Mata, nothing will happen to you. But the problem is...….”

Yusto nodded at Cyril's words. I didn't know what would happen in the palace under the cover of this fuss. And if Earl Rohale was the one who controlled the ancient magic "water" here...….

Eusto and Cyril nodded silently. As much as possible, I had to cooperate with the senior wizards so that the nobles would not notice.

'Ancient magic is different from ordinary magic, so if you don't go through it, you won't get a proper solution. Especially tools...….’

The two remembered what Felix said when he returned from the tower.

It changes the properties depending on who the tester is.’

"Oh, you're good."

"Really……?"

Flena and Jenna nodded vigorously at the sight of Guyana asking carefully.

"Sure, at least it's better than Count Venus."

Guyana shook her head at the words.

"Jae, how can I?"

"Well, everyone's good at different things."

At Flena's words, Guyana wriggled her hand with a teapot.

'Sure...'

Shameful thoughts raised their heads. May I ask, so hesitating, Jenna noticed and told the story.

"Why?"

"That's……."

"Tell me, it's all right."

Guyana blushed her cheeks a little.

"Well, I... Can I get the car up to you, Your Grace?”

"Oh, my."

The shy voice made Jenna and Flena look at their younger brother. His eyes were friendly as if he had seen the child's first step.

"Sure, Your Majesty will love it.""Really?"

"I'll let you know a lot."

At Flena's words, Guyana nodded as if she was begging.

"Then do you want to learn how to use other cars?"

"…yes!"

Guyana moved her hand to a teaspoon with a slight smile at the words.

It was then.

I felt an unpleasant sensation that stabbed me in the back of my head.

'…Dad?'

It was a very feeble sense. But it was disturbing and ominous. Guyana took a deep breath.
