As soon as I learned that my worries were tilted.

“So? What happened? ”

Ofelia is obsessed with Confucius Hamel, leaving Sapiella out of the picture. Having a gentle look at her chin is like looking at the warm church brother.

Confucius Hamel continued, smiling.

“At that time, if it had been a late beat, it would have been the head on the axe of an Orc. It was a close call. But I couldn't back out. We had to do everything we could to keep the people of Adeline safe. So I got up, and I swung my sword. ”

Confucius Hamel waves his sword. I thought you were shooting a movie.

“So what happened? ”

“I cut the head of the orc that was after me. Those who invaded our lands did not spare a single one of them. ”

“That's great! That's really great. I never thought Ella would have such a cool brother! ”

Looks like Smoke A rank isn't going anywhere. Hamel boasts his storytelling alongside Ophelia, and Ophelia enjoys eating bread.

Speaking of Orcs, it looks like last year the Orcs were united and invaded Adeline territory.

Before I was hit by a resurrection truck, I don't know the details. From what I've heard, it seems that Confucius Hamel has also gone on to build a ball.

Among his traits, Swordsmanship and Tactics were rank A, so he must have had enough left to build a ball.

“Hahahaha. That's flattering. My brothers are much better than me. ”

“Really? I'd like to meet him... ”

Immediately, Hamel's eyes glowed like an eagle who discovered his prey.

“Unfortunately, the atmosphere in the area is not good these days. So you're both busy. My father, who was a candidate, had to come in person, but I'm very sorry for your patience as this is the case. ”

“Huh? What happened to Adeline? ”

“That's ……. ”

Conflicts between the Adeline and the Astrians were naturally reported by Confederate Congressman Hamel.

His speech was excellent. He said it as objectively as possible, as if the third party explained the situation, without dismissing the other person's feelings.

My gut was right, too.

Confucius Hamel is a thing. Of course, the other Confederates have some outstanding parts, but it would be a shame if they had to give up their succession for a third reason.

“So that happened…… Well, I don't know about that headache, but I want everyone to be happy. ”

“The misunderstandings are getting deeper and deeper. I'm sure things will get better if the princess helps me. ”

“Me?”

“Yes, I'd like to ask the princess a special favor. ”

Hamel bows his head again and politely invites you.

I don't think he was that polite in front of his father, Marquis Kronos. I could see that Confucius Hamel was really determined.

“Of course, the Astrians represent the kingdom. Arguing is also a national loss. Trade routes have already been cut off and supplies have been blocked and the damage has been done. Our family is the center of trade and the main gateway to the border. If it continues like this, it will also affect the front. Then it is clear that the nearby kingdoms will cause chaos. ”

“Oh my! I shouldn't have done that... ”

“If the Crown Princess could step up a bit here to mediate, millions of believers would praise the grace. How could the family that receives the royal family disobey that order? ”

Hamel's head bows even deeper. The rotten princess swallowed bread in her mouth. Then he reached out and raised his glass of wine.

“You're looking good. ”

I was surprised. Am I hearing this wrong?

Obviously, it was the voice of the Princess Ofelia. Her voice was cold and didn't match her face at all. Like someone else is possessed.

But that moment didn't last long. Ofelia returns to her polished appearance.

“Well, you heard the man! So if the two families reconcile, will our Ella look brighter? ”

“I'm sorry to tell you this, but Ella doesn't want to marry the Astrians. As Ella's biological brother, I want her to be a little happier. ”

“But can I do that? Even for a princess, I don't have any strength... ”

“If I had, I wouldn't have said this. I support your possibilities. ”

There was a gaze exchange between the two of them. Both of them were smiling, but not a purely meaningful smile. It feels cloudy and secular.

The princess opened her mouth first.

“Possibilities, yes. Then... can I get help later? ”

“Of course. Whatever it is, I'm ready to follow. For the everlasting glory of the kingdom and kingdom. ”

“Very well. We have something in common! ”

The princess takes a sip of wine to cheer her up.

“Cough! Cough, cough! ”

I frowned, coughing, whether it was Sareh's first drink or not. Sapiella wipes the princess's lips with napkins.

But the booze was already everywhere.

“Are you all right?"

“Ugh, it's not good. ”

“Can I get you another drink? ”

“Was this a drink? I can't drink! ”

As the princess makes a fuss, the deliberate maidens move to prepare the juice.

“Stand down.”

Confucius Hamel grabs the bottle with his gloved hand. Wait, I know that bottle isn't wine.

Glug.

A clean glass of wine begins to fill up. Confucius Hamel smiled meaningfully and explained.

“A very good grape juice made from grapes harvested in the south. Next time, I will prepare something sweeter and more delicious just for the princess. ”

“Wow! I'm excited!”

The princess who had inhaled the liquid that was filled inside smiled.

“Yummy! The juice is delicious, the bread is delicious, and the food is the best! You're the best! This dinner is the best! ”

I'm confused. What the hell is going on here?

I think it's my turn to go. I'm so frustrated, I can't take it anymore.

“Excuse me.”

I was approaching the princess one day. And I have a luxurious handkerchief in my hand.

“When you were coughing earlier, the alcohol popped up on your clothes. May I take a moment to summarize? ”

“Yes. Lord Dylan is kind. Ella would love that. ”

I wiped the shoulder of the princess with a handkerchief.

Of course, a wine cellar cannot be wiped clean. The marks remained intact. It wasn't meant to be cleaned in the first place.

Soon the status window opened in my eyes.

[not open]

……

My suspicions were correct.

This dinner was a duel between two geniuses who were writing a performance rank A.

Ofelia was a five-star figure and had a much more glamorous personality page than Sapiella.

If my memory is correct, I think I am the most characteristic person I have ever seen in the status window. I have no idea how many are hidden behind that question mark.

There are many peculiar traits because of their noble lineage.

Drinking and lust.

I have no idea what the secret privacy of a naive and loving princess looks like on the outside.

The most disturbing of them was the values.

Everything else is. Likes drinking, lust is not bad. His personality, not a bad one.

But I think the values are different.

I don't know how bad it is, but if I think there are only people around me with values greater than good, I should classify them as dangerous.

Even Confucius Hamel, who didn't know when or where he was going, was very good.

It was also true that people could not judge by their outward appearance.

And through the status window, I realized why the princess fit in well with Confucius Hamel.

It was the same in that they were both aiming for the world. The princess's interest was not to marry into a good family and favorably live a lifetime, but to reign over the heads of others.

It means the same thing, so even if the values are the opposite, we have to unite.

The liquid that Confucius Hamel poured out of the sheep was actually poisonous wine and the princess pretended to be fine was a close deal.

I feel like Confucius Hamel is preparing properly.

“Sir Dylan. ”

“Yes, my lady. ”

I feel uneasy seeing a sunny face. How thick do you have to wear a mask to make that face?

“Why don't you have a duel with Lord Casiopeia? You're Ella's homeroom teacher, and you're good with swords. I heard you were coming!”

“It's just a trivial skill. Compared to Lord Casiopea, it's the blood of a new foot. ”

“You beat the Adeline knights twice with a trifle of talent? The Knights of the Adeline family aren't that weak. ”

Do you get excited after a drink?

“Lord Casiopea once said, ”

Then the spirit cast its gaze behind me. I followed that look, too. Lord Casiopea just walked in.

“You won't know the battle unless you swing your sword. Being strong is not objective, it's subjective!”

“You are a princess. You remember exactly. ”

Lord Casiopea smiled. Looking at me and touching the sword, I feel like I longed for a duel that was abandoned before I came in.

I turned my head back and said carefully.

“You're right, I'm just a butler, and Lord Casiopea represents the royal family. Children can't fight adults. ”

“But you have to fight. It's not bad for a duel. Lord Dylan will have something to learn. Huh?”

A princess smiling as if she were trying to wedge her teeth. Then Sapiella carefully stepped out.

“But it's still a dinner spot, so it might be a little dangerous. I'm sure a sword would be fine if the princess were okay with it. ”

“A sword? Yes. Ella's right. Then Lord Casiopea, Lord Dylan. Please! Don't be so gentle! Then it's no fun. ”

Saying it's not funny narrows Sapiella's eyes. Have you noticed anything strange?

I glanced over at the people of the Adeline family. Sapiella apologized to me, and Confucius Hamel gave each one a meaningful expression.

There's no turning back now.

I stepped back slightly and confronted Lord Casiopea. In the line of duty, Lord Kronos pulls out a humble servant sword.

Grrr!

The glowing sword shines with a bright light.
