I was still right. Wearing her attire, Serena Gilbert laughs secretly.

The imperial castle of the Empire of Hermeia is large and gorgeous even in just a hallway. Stepping on a carpet of velvet and just looking at the paintings on the corridor, I feel as if I have been reborn. The glittering dress I'm carrying also makes me snooze with the cutting-edge stuff.

(I didn't have to marry such a middle-aged man in the country, and I can't believe he came to the Imperial Capital!

I was in a hurry when I was threatened with torture or thrown in jail, but I guess it was Lilia's power to be acquitted.

However, even though I work for the Imperial Castle, I wonder if I am a servant.

Lilia explained that Serena is now supposed to be dead and can't be a woman because of her lack of identity. "Stay a little quiet," she said, but I don't know.

(I wonder how long you're going to let me do this... I worked for you as a surrogate)

As it is, it is no different than being at my parents' house, where I was treated like a servant.

'I need to ask you something. There's a demon in Misha School named Ashtalt, a half demon pretending to be a student. Uncover yourself with this incense. Then you will represent the maiden of the Holy Sword, a hero.'

The series of tasks that started with replies to such letters was hard anyway.

There were many things Lilia's information could not understand in the first place. Especially that sweet-smelling magical incense of revealing the identity of a demon dressed as a human being. For the sake of the advice that too much smoking was dangerous, the usage was vague and low in quantity, which made me try and error. I snuck into the evening school and tried to burn and shake to find out and struggle with the lasting effects.

I dropped a letter in front of Professor Kanihi in an attempt to give Augusto a sore eye for a woman who uses color even though she has a fiancée, but I was in a hurry when I realized I had dropped a demonic incense that I had subdivided with that letter. How relieved Professor Kanihi was to be gone from school after being pursued for his position.

But it was good to see Professor Kanihi glancing at the magic incense, who watched as if he could take it back, and realize that this might be human. I experimented with distributing it to boys and thought it could be used when I found out that diluting it would cause pleasure or have an ecstasy effect, but the amount is low in the first place.

(You've spent a lot on the Demon King.)

Uncover the identity of the demon in front of everyone at any rate. That way everyone will recognize themselves. There's nothing like Princess White Lily - that's what I thought. I called it at the school festival, but it also caused me to feel a lot scarier.

Shouldn't we, as Lilia's friend, no benefactor, be as welcoming as some Duke's adopted son because that's all we did?

"... but well, fine"

I took the vial out of my pocket. It's a magic incense stock solution, among other things. Not a bite in quantity.

But this will be a trump card.

(Everyone's attitude then. This is definitely not a good thing if you have it, is it? If you say you got something like this from Lilia...)

I can threaten Lilia if I have to.

Of course, I wouldn't do that if you would treat yourself right. Heh heh. Serena laughed and pocketed the vial.

"What can I ask you to do when I calm down? - Oh?

"... Serena?

I was surprised at the unexpected person and the corridor. The red-brown-haired young man who looked back also looks surprised. Serena, unwilling to listen in the first place such as the advice to be quiet, talks in the same way as before.

"Augusto! How did you end up in the Imperial Castle?... Isn't that the Saints uniform you're wearing right now?!?"

The crest, coloured with silver thread on a purple blue cape, is an outfit allowed to the knights of the Supreme Knights and Saints, who will be treated directly by Emperor Hermeia. The cheeky august laughs vaguely.

"Ah, oh. Misha School stopped and took the Saints' entrance exam... I was assigned last week"

"Wow! It's so hard to test the Saints, isn't it? I'm not an elite!

Besides, I have a knight, it's a high paycheck. If you give me a handle, I can give you territory too.

"Uh... the written exam was packed with all sorts of things by Zemes, but I guess I forgot. Ha."

"What? Why... are you in the Imperial Capital?

…… Yeah, well. Oh, but now I'm not the student chairman anymore. "

"What are you doing, Augusto? Are you going to be late for a glimpse of the Emperor?

From the right hand side of the crossing corridor emerged your son Zeems. Surprised, Augusto laughs as relieved.

"Bad, I'm going now. Bye, Serena."

"Hey, wait a minute! It's crazy how half a demon is in here!

It should be normal to be killed or even imprisoned in prison. But Augusto, with his sleeve snapped, frowns and says nothing. Instead Zemes laughed with his nose.

"Shall I ask you not to be disrespectful? I am now Prince Mircetta. With Lord Claude."

"- What? You mean noble?

Zemes went on further to Serena, who pulled her cheeks together.

"Walt and Kyle are also coming to the Imperial Capital. They're just escorts now, but sooner or later they're going to be adopted by some nobleman."

"Adopted son... why?"

"Sooner or later, the Kingsguard who protects the Emperor will not be dressed as a civilian."

Emperor - breathtaking for words I never imagined.

"Dear Augusto, Dear Zeems. Lord Claude is here for you."

Another familiar voice jumped in. It calls me to roar my name.

"Rachel Danis......!

Rachel was there in fine black attire. This Imperial Castle is home to the Duke of Dorthrish at a glance. Serena, who was thrown in as a servant, knows very well because she has bowed her head over and over while having an inner evil state.

(WHY!? I can't believe the Duke of Dorthrish house, where such a cone......!

That servant over there should just be out of the house of fame. Even though he is only a rural count in the region, such as the Dannis family.

"He wants to be seen by the emperor. I'll show you around, can you come?

"Okay. Let's go, Augusto."

Seeing the three of them walked out on their way, Serena rushes after them.

"Wait! What do you mean, all the student councils are in the Imperial Capital?"

Besides, it's time for Serena to have a higher status. No, Serena should be treated accordingly if she had time, too, but still.

"That's not weird! Explain what happened."

Serena's asking, and none of the three of us answer anything. Within it we reached before the reception used by the royal family from the corridor. Watching the guards bow their heads to the three of them makes me angry. Serena was thrown by that guard once when she asked for this laundry.

"Hey!"

"Stand back."

I was just trying to grab the hem of Augusto's clothes again, and my cold voice cracked in.

It's Rachel. Unbelievable. Serena flipped out. See that.

"We have His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and his fiancée, Irene, in this room. Stop making noise."

"Become... why do I have to tell you that! What do you mean?"

"I'm Irene Lauren Dorthrish, the maid of the Duke's Lady."

In other words, if Irene Lauren Dorthrish becomes queen, she will have the same power as the chief woman. I'm in a position to give orders to Serena now, nothing more than the claim.

"You are just a servant. You can't go in here without permission, back off."

"- What's wrong? Busy, Rachel."

The door opened from the inside and a cool voice sounded. Walt and Kyle opened both doors, left and right, respectively. Neither is it the uniform that those two are put together. One day the vicinity of the Demon King wore it, a military uniform with beautiful gold decorative strings.

And everyone bows their heads to the lady who came out of the room. Breathtaking.

That's the woman who beat herself to become Princess White Lily.

Moments, all sorts of things connected in my head at once. Iri Carlua, who was a woman. If that's Princess White Lily, I mean...

"- Who are you?

With an elegant smile on his mouth, Irene Lauren Dorthrish said so.

We see each other at the school festival. There's no way I don't remember. Who's laughing at Serena for what? I held a trembling fist.

Everything is farce. There's no way I can have this stupid story.

"What the hell is going on?!? Like this -"

A sword slammed into his throat as he tried to rebel with momentum.

"Back off."

It's an august. I can't believe my cold voice, I can't stop breathing.

I was with him at the student council. I tried plugging it in and giving it a lot of trouble. We should have been so close. Zemes doesn't say anything either. Why are you doing this to the demon's ass? As far as Kyle and Walt were concerned, I didn't give them one glance.

"Augusto, it's pathetic to scare you. - Everybody, you got it. Dear Claude, it's time to head out to see."

"Oh."

"Dear Claude...!

Serena turned to the demon king of beauty who emerged from the back of the room. He is the last hope.

He was giving me something to look at as an intermediary. Even the effect of the medication, there may be something left.

"It's me, it's Serena Gilbert! I served at Misha School...... Um, what do you mean by this!?"

"Serena Gilbert would be dead"

I had a chill in my emotionless response.

The Gilbert family did not spare a poor country title. It would be better to cut off the edge and have Lilia mount it, that's what I thought. Even if I was dressed in wet clothes that it was an ashtart, I couldn't stop laughing that it was a good vengeance for the people in the house.

But what if Lilia doesn't take it away from me? Behind that smile that was quiet for a while and said so, was the neglect creeping in?

Touch the pocket containing the vial. Is this not a trump card, not a lifeline?

(Me - hey, something went wrong...)

See the faces that were the same students until a few months ago. Seeing the Emperor in the presence of the Crown Prince means that they gather here will be close to Claude, who will slowly become Emperor.

And Serena now, she's just a servant.

Eileen Lauren Dorthrish crosses before Serena, who says nothing. I got my hands full. But Walt takes it.

Still, I couldn't help yelling. With anxiety and anger.

"You! You put me on, you shameless! I didn't just turn from Master Cedric to Master Claude... Master Claude, you're deceiving me! If you're such a woman, you'll be happy."

The demon king saw himself. And with no emotions whatsoever eyes, I snap my fingers.

- It was just after that that a minor but very unfortunate accident occurred in which the servant fell to the fat of the Imperial Castle.

Irene, who was full of interceptions, blinked at Serena, who disappeared. And I look up softly at Claude beside me.

"... where did you do it? No way again."

"About what?

I sighed in my cool face. But soon, attention flies from Rachel.

"Dear Irene, it's almost time to take a look."

"I know. Rachel, please prepare your tea after you see it at the Forest Castle."

"Leave it to me"

Rachel, who became a samurai, was better than I ever imagined. Originally, courtesy is perfect, and he is adored by the maid chief who has learned to stand around the maid at the Duke of Dorthrish's house and has also experienced the royal castle chief.

Augusto broke through the Saint Knights' entrance exam while half crying, bringing a connection to an organization that had never been connected before. Faster than Lilia's breath-taking Marks joining the group would be a huge handful.

It is also significant that Walt and Kyle were captured in the form of Claude's escorts. The church doesn't have a single rock, it has people on Cedric's side. Pulling out two outstanding human beings as "nameless priests” is bound to help in the future.

Zemes was recognized as the son of the Duchy of Mircetta. This is Claude's game. They gathered evidence about the corruption of the Mirchetta family and virtually took over the Duchy of Mirchetta. And pressed for Zeems to be recognized as a prince. After publishing the evil deeds of his uncle, that Zemes is a half demon.

From that time on, Zemes began to call Claude "Lord Claude" rather than "Demon King". I mean, I guess that's what it is.

Soon Zeems will be a leader in creating land inhabited by demons and humans. It is also very significant politically that the home of the Virgin of the Holy Sword becomes such a land.

Nevertheless, Princess Mircetta is still alive, so Zemes was first to learn politics about Chancellor Dorthrish in the Imperial Capital. The residence is with the former abandoned castle, or demons, due to his own wishes. Belzevute burned a strange sense of confrontation and Keith seemed to be facing seniors but doing quite well together.

Let the Emperor see them like that. It was the same to publicly declare that it would eventually be near Claude's side.

Cedric and Lilia are also consolidating their factions. Lilia in particular had dropped one offensive character brilliantly. This one also needs to have unbeatable talent.

"Isaac and the others won't let the Emperor look at them, can we just treat them the way they've always been?

Claude asks as he heads in between glances. Eileen nodded.

"Yeah. They want it to stay that way. I'd be better off with that too. It's dangerous to have all your allies in the Imperial Castle, and Jasper says he prefers to expose the human evil of the Imperial Castle."

"Sure looks like they'd enjoy working at the Oberon Chamber of Commerce more than at the Imperial Castle"

"I finally got back from Mircetta. I have a lot of work to do."

"Oh.... Eileen by the way. I haven't done anything to you with all my work yet."

As a matter of fact, Irene flushed this question for the first time.

"Let's think about that when we're done, shall we?

…… Aren't you starting to put me behind you day by day?

"Talk to the demon king later, Iri."

I'm right next to you. Twinkle like Walt put it away. Kyle became tannic.

"Walt, it's not Iri. It's Master Eileen."

"'Cause there's nothing out there. I won't say anything tough. Hey, Augusto."

"Oh, I'm trying my best to fix it! Iri's a girl.

Irene smiles at Augusto, who called Iri from beside what she said.

"I don't care if you use it publicly or privately, Augusto."

"- I'm not a little happy with Iri's tone in my dress..."

"Really? I think it's cute."

Only one person on Claude answered directly, and it was Zemes who calmly stuck around.

"Dear Claude. Enough of those things later. You can do whatever you want."

"Right."

Right. Right. But there was already an imminent door between the eyes of the emperor.

It's actually the first time I've worshipped the Emperor as Claude's fiancée. Second, Serena's curse rose to her ears as much as she did earlier. Once Cedric's fiancée, now standing beside Claude, what would the emperor see himself as?

"Irene."

Along with Claude's soft calling, something soft hit his forehead.

Take a beat and try to jump and fall back to the candlestick. I put my hand on my forehead and it turned bright red. I got stuck in the forehead.

"Hey, hey, what are you doing here...!

"It's okay, you deserve me"

- This one is still sloppy.

With remorse in his chest, Eileen turns forward.

"Naturally."

"Shall we go, Irene?"

Take your newly gained companions, straighten them out, and take the road to the Emperor.
