Decades to be rocked by a carriage.

Safely arrive from the aristocratic city to Imperial Castle.

I couldn't just walk to the castle, but I had to take the carriage that I had prepared to guarantee my identity.

The time was already sunset and the Imperial Castle was bright inside as well as outside thanks to the fact that the night book was starting to descend but the lights were on.

The perimeter of the Imperial Castle was surrounded by high walls and was strictly guarded by numerous soldiers at the only entrance and exit.

Even if anyone trying to enter Imperial Castle was noble, confirmation had been given in front of the interrogation, only the carriage we were riding in could have been easily seen through. That said, it was the new emperor who prepared the carriage, and he was trusted simply to present his ID card because it was also the person prepared by Rio who served as your master.

The carriage stops in front of the entrance to the castle as it dives the wall.

We'll go down to the castle on this spot. The rented carriage is supposed to be stopped in a nearby parking lot until after the party.

The carriage door was opened by the hand of the castle servant, so I descend.

Soon Sylvia and the others came down, so I offered my hand to support them.

"Well, let's go"

Put your hands in front of Sylvia the same way you did when you got off the carriage.

"Uh..."

"Will you let me escort you today or so?

"I have to take care of your husband."

"Need it?

The servant even opens the door to the carriage he used to come to the castle.

Some of the guests may be bringing their own servants with whom they can place their credit, but you can leave the service to the host, the castle.

"We'll do our job for you, so you should take it slow at times like this."

"Ira......"

"That's why thank you"

"entrusted"

We don't have to do everything we have to do.

I also asked Sylvia again because I got permission from my buddy.

"Will you come with me, my lady?"

"... Yes"

Sylvia grabs the hand I offered her gently.

When Sylvia and I let him move on, a man in butler's clothes shows up and leads us to the party venue.

It was a large hall and today, when the party was taking place, a number of tables hung with white cloth were placed in the central part of the hall, where invitees enjoyed the dishes on the table.

The invitees are all dressed in fine clothes and at a glance they can tell they are aristocratic.

"Um, isn't it out of place?

Sylvia, who was born a normal village daughter, was swallowed by the air at the party venue.

Dressed in a beautiful dress, the courtesy is not easy to wear even though it is not strange to be considered an aristocratic lady.

"It's okay, 'cause nobody seems suspicious"

There is no one who walks into a party venue and looks at suspicious people.

I have a suit and a dress that I have prepared for this purpose, so I have trouble getting suspicious eyes.

I just saw a blonde nobleman in my sight, so I let him compare it even though I thought it was rude, but I don't think he lost, including the body correction.

But Sylvia won't convince me how much I said with my mouth.

"Then will you take care of me?

"Take care, is it?

"What kind of woman is next door when a man comes to a place like this?

"Ah..."

At the end of Sylvia's gaze were two aristocratic men in their 40s or so who were having a conversation.

Next to one man, a woman of the same age is smiling and joining a man's conversation. Probably a man's wife.

Sylvia was blushing knowing what she was being asked to do.

"May I?

A man talked to me about moving to pick up the food.

"My name is Parfu from the Baron Kudan family. I don't come to the Empire very often, so I'm not ashamed to know what a new emperor would look like. Did you know that?

I guess the man who named him Baron Kudan wants to gather some information about Rio, who hasn't shown up at the party venue yet.

Gathering information on adventurers makes it easy to gather information about people.

But what he wants to know is Glorio as a royal family.

It would be more meaningful to gather information against people in party venues.

"I know because I had a chance to get to know you a little bit"

"Well, that's awesome. May I ask your name?"

"I say Mars"

This is my wife, Sylvia.

There's no reason not to name it.

They think I'm more suspicious of being odd without naming me weird.

It's just that Sylvia's biting because of her nervousness about calling herself my wife.

"Excuse me, what's your family name?

"I'm sorry. I'm not a nobleman."

"Really? I thought you were a nobleman because you had a fine meal."

Baron Kudan's eyes contained contempt.

You cannot attend a party unless you are an invitee.

As much as a merchant in the Empire who deals with a heavy town, if not a nobleman, said he couldn't do it to connect his face with the new emperor and asked him to invite him.

You don't have to be afraid of someone like that.

I was really going to say the right thing and flush it out, but I can't bear to be turned to Sylvia next door with a scornful gaze.

"I'm not really a nobleman. On the contrary, he's an adventurer."

"Again, what you're reading is a builder. The extent to which such a lowlife seems to be getting mixed up in a party hosted by the new emperor is known. Hey!"

Call the butler who was waiting nearby.

I guess the dress code is going to beat it out as there are suspicious people who are observing it.

"But I've been kind enough to ask the new emperor, Glorio, to invite me to this party."

……

Baron Kudan couldn't block his open mouth.

Adventurers are getting mixed up in the party. Looks like he was trying to call the butler behind him to get his surrounding attention as the one who saw it through, but he was pulling it off lightly knowing I had a personal connection to Rio.

"What's wrong?

Baron Kudan called me. The butler approached me.

"Yes, no... nothing!

The troubled Baron Kudan leaves.

It would be more problematic for Rio to have a strange impression that the words were conveyed because he talked to me and said something extra that would make a personal connection to him.

So I just decided to leave.

As for this one, there is no damage, so there is no problem.

"Well, enjoy the party"

Deacon leaves.

He handled the invitees who were in the venue as they were.

"That's amazing."

"What?

"Even though I was dealing with angry customers like that, I was calmly calm and responsive. I want to be like that too."

Sylvia is still helping me enough, but she still wants to refine it.

He was somewhat busy looking at a servant serving Imperial Castle, yet calmly carrying food and drinks, responding to the requests of the invitees. If you're chasing him with your eyes, you'll see him with one of the maids.

"Have you decided on a drink?

The maid's tray had champagne in the glass and more on it.

"Now I'd like something other than alcohol, please"

"Me, too."

A glass containing a clear yellow drink is given to me when I ask for it.

When I drink it, the sweet taste spreads all over my mouth, and I can see that it is a juice squeezed with fruit.

"After all, should I be able to drink alcohol in a place like this?

"Maybe so, but they don't even think I need to drink it"

But you can't shy away from drinking to Sylvia to suit me.

"Was that better than that earlier?

"Earlier?

"Yes. The other person, even though he is a baron, does not change being a nobleman. Wouldn't it be resentful to behave like that?"

Regardless of the title to the civilian population, it is just a threat to be aristocratic.

I guess I should have hidden my identity and joined the party, too, but the new emperor has a handout, so I don't have the hands to not use it.

"My job today is to have fun with you, who usually take care of me. I'm sorry that you're still making fun of me. Because of this, let us indulge in the cuisine."

"Yes."

Take Sylvia, who smiled, to the table where the dish was placed.

They were all small items to satisfy the hunger, but all the colorful dishes were beautiful, I could tell they were labour-free and satisfied Sylvia because they were so delicious.

I almost wanted the recipe, but maybe I could ask Mr. Cattleya or Rio for it.

"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for waiting. The new Emperor Glorio is here."
