Master of the brave.

Supper party ①

"I'm in a good mood. His Royal Highness Raul, my brother."

"It's an honor to meet you, Your Highness."

"Yeah, that's a beautiful dress, Cornelia. And welcome to Lady Leticia."

"It's an honor to keep it for your invitation, my lord Alfred. And Lady Raul is in a good mood."

Four people greet each other in a calm atmosphere from the side.

royalty, royalty, and brave men.

He is a four-person with no apparent identity. Exactly. Everyone is reluctant to come close. The people around them were intrigued, but continued to curl and bicker, turning their attention only to the four.

Thanks to this, I was never noticed that the smile and courtesy of Leticia's perfect ladylike attitude were somewhat mixed.

"Hey, Letty. You really look great in that dress. I figured I should be in more social circles, you know."

After an exchange of modeled greetings, Raul, returning to his usual wording, flaunts Leticia's clothes, but his gaze gradually begins to swim into Leticia's gaze, which keeps sighing up.

When he first confronted Leticia in the royal palace of the Kingdom of Lyon, he defeated her in a way that lasted until he was completely skinless, and by knowing clearly what her strength was when he traveled with her afterwards, Raul is completely out of his mind against her.

"Hey, Raul. What about your brother?

It was said that Leticia's voice would reach her ears beautifully clear and comfortable enough to be likened to the whimpering of a little bird, but the voice of what she had just said was cold and dark everywhere.

I was scared to play raul.

"Well, I wonder if the Wynn Bird squire can just attend this dinner party. The court sequence is too low."

"Winn, you're in the holding room, Master Leticia."

Leticia nods lightly at the words of the Imperial royal brothers and sisters.

"Oh, yeah. You can't even leave the master of the brave."

"Is that it? Raul, you knew that too, didn't you? That's a dinner hosted by His Majesty the Emperor welcoming you as his guest of honor. You can't even be allowed to attend."

"I mean, Raul knew, didn't he?

"Wait, Letty! I did say Winn would come to the night club too, but you said you would come for sure... Ouch!

Leticia stomps Raul's foot with an unfamiliar face with a smile on its face and unstoppable haste on her eyes. And while I accidentally scream small, Raul manages to keep the poker face.

Alfred, who was shown up close how those two were doing, was on the brink of desperate laughter.

"Oh, that's some good vibe."

"It is also a pleasure for our country that His Royal Highness Raul, who will be the next king of the Kingdom of Lyons, and His Royal Highness Prince Alfred are close. You can have a good relationship in the future."

The truth is a conversation equal to a child's quarrel, but from the side, the royal family and the heroes of their country seemed to reflect as if they were deepening their friendship.

Such a voice was heard leaking from among the nobles who asked how it was from afar.

"Even Letty, if you think about it, you know that much, don't you?

"I shouldn't have come here anymore..."

"Fair enough, Master Leticia. Sure, Winn, you won't be able to attend this dinner party, but you can come from us to the holding room."

"Oh well."

Leticia nods.

Dinner party venue.

You can't dance with Wynn in the graceful examination of a court musician in the middle of this great hall, but you can show him yourself dressed in a dress.

"That said, Cornelia and Lady Leticia are both admitted and exited as soon as possible, which makes it difficult from my standpoint or from your standpoint, Raul."

Alfred pinched his mouth when he finally suppressed his laughter attack.

Cornelia is on the side of Raul, a national guest, in the position of the Crown Princess.

The same goes for Leticia, the Duke's Lady.

Though he is considered a brave man equal to an emperor with divine power, he cannot just crush the face of the royal family.

Folding court musicians began playing.

The nobles, who were still laughing and asking about the four of them, vacated the central part as a place to dance.

When a young single male nobleman walked under the woman of his choice and applied for a dance partner, the women were seen blushing their cheeks and responding to the hand.

But soon, without going to the center, he takes his hand and turns to the four main guests of this dinner party.

"Well, I guess we have to live up to our expectations, too. I don't even want to get in the way of the lovers who are trying to dance with courage because of it.

I just want to say one song with Master Leticia for saying that, but we should dance from Lord Raul here.

Cornelia is unfortunately with me. You can't touch the opposite sex until your fiancée decides. [M] Or as long as someone likes you. "

"No. I'm sorry, but thank you, brother."

When he takes Alfred's hand, which reaches down on his knees, his siblings walk to the center of the circle of people with Swiss.

Seeing the sight, I heard sighs from young aristocratic men.

The royal women of the Lemursil Empire will only be allowed to touch the man who will be their companion.

In other words, if he applied to Cornelia for a dance and the Empress accepted it, it would have been allowed to be the Empress's companion.

So when the song started, Cornelia's trends were of great interest.

I wonder who will be Cornelia's partner at the dance at dinner tonight.

That's why Cornelia just took Alfred's hand, which leaks a discouraged sigh.

But it's still the first song.

Who signs up for a dance partner after the dance with Alfred - the nobles' interest moves to the next, even as they hold each other in that order.

The princess of the Duke family, comparable to the royal family, and the king prince of the neighbouring country.

Brave and Kensei.

"Yeah... well, Miss Leticia. Would you dance with me, please?

I can't help it.

Leticia took the hand.

Because I didn't mean it, but even if I turned Raul down here, someone else would just sign up.

As Raul drew his hand, Leticia also went into the circle of men.

Speaking of which, I remember Raul and I being taken in the middle of the hall the first time we met.

"It wasn't each other's hands we had in our hands, it was a boneless sword."

As the two advance, the circle of people softly collapses and space can be created in the center.

There were two people there, Alfred and Cornelia, who walked out first, and Alfred made them laugh niggardly.

As the four advanced to the center, the court musician began playing a new song.

(You wanted to dance with your brother...)

Leticia thinks so in her heart as she leaves herself to Raul's lead.

Should I just say royalty?

Leticia got somewhat angry with Raul, who leads the way she's used to.

(I was actually supposed to dance with your brother!

In Winn's arms, feeling his warmth, he repeated the circle and the turn, dancing lightly as he took the steps.

Leticia looks up at Raul's face higher than Wynn's as she steps.

- Ah.

Smiling at Raul looking down with a question mark, Leticia stepped on his feet thoughtfully.

◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

The hall next to the great hall.

There were squires of nobles and high officials invited to this evening's dinner party refraining.

No, from the number of people, it might be more of those who are holding back here.

If you are also a senior squire of a high nobility, you have more power than the lower nobles around you.

Between the squire's refrains there were plenty of food and alcohol-free beverages that were not as pale as a noble night club, and they were challenging them to a dinner party for them as they held them.

It is a political activity between the squire.

The top management of the territory is, of course, a lord, a nobleman.

However, most of the troublesome interactions take place by senior squires who are close to them.

Most of the Lord's work, the Lord, is only to look through and push judgment on the final proposal that the servants have negotiated and adjusted.

Explore each other's bellies, learn about their weaknesses, and maximize their benefits to their Lord.

Negotiating face-to-face if it is an adjacent territory, trading is easy, but if you are a lord of a land as remote as the North and the South, you will have limited opportunities to interact.

Talk to opposing factions and amplify suspicious demons within factions.

Convince smaller factions that they do not belong to factions or that they can benefit from joining their own factions.

In some cases, attempts are made to pull through the competent squire who is present here.

This is a battlefield for the squire.

(Is it time for the dance to begin?

A beautiful investigation, heard from the greater hall, was also heard in Winn's ear, which he refrained from in the next room.

In the hall, as with Wynn, the squire who followed him about the nobility, his master, greeted each other, and there were various negotiations, even as he spoke of food.

Some of them were busily repeatedly entering and leaving the room, who would go to ask their husband about the case.

Winn was in such a state that he was placed outside a mosquito net by himself.

Winn's position is Crown Princess Cornelia's squire.

He is a knight who obeys the life of Empress Cornelia only.

However, the guarding of the supper party was guided to this holding room because the Knights of Kingsguard, who is responsible for the imperial guard in general, will dominate.

At the start of the dinner party, I was greeting the knights of the other noble private knights one after the other, as well as from my colleagues, but then Winn was killing time without having to speak to anyone and without one person in his seat.

I'm not being ignored.

I was under the impression that those around me could not decide what to do with it

Even when I was exchanging greetings, I was under the impression that I was interested.

He is the closest knight to the Empress.

And don't forget the title 'Master of the Brave'.

A knight who may be gaining strength politically from now on.

Many of their lords, nobles, tended to underestimate him from the fact that he was a civilian blood muscle, but for them serving, every possibility must be considered.

In other words, Winn was a pretty cautious person for them, but there were also a bunch of cases where they had to hold each other back and clean up before he did, so putting them first and putting Winn behind him had created a windless state around him by the time he was stunning.

(Hmmm...... no place)

Although lavish dishes were served during the refrain for the servants, disappointment can also be related to the princess's reputation from the standpoint of Cornelia's squire.

I just got a little hands on the dish, and then I just have to kill my time drinking and drinking.

Then,

"Um... Could it not be Lord Wynn Byrd?

I was called out.

"Yes, it is."

"Wow! Seriously!

"Look, it's just like I said"

It was the knight of a woman with dark hair, dark eyes, light black skin glowing and a face somewhere reminiscent of a cat who had spoken to Wynn.

And the other pruned his blonde hair short, about one fist taller than Wynn's? He has a stern face, muscular and disappointing body.

A pair of young people in their early twenties or so.

He is wearing a knight's costume from the Kingdom of Lyon.

"I'm late for my application. My name is Manuela and I belong to the Knights of the Kingsguard of the Royal Lyon Army. And -"

"It's Thierry. Greetings."

"I am Win Bird, a squire with the First Empress of the Lemursil Empire."

Shake hands with the two people who have offered their hands while speaking the official language of the Empire fluently.

"Yay! I'll be proud to exchange words with that brave master when I get home."

Manuela kicked gently across Tierri's tibia with her right leg to Tierri, who shouted out loud like an unexpected feeling and let her eyes shine like a child and held Winn's hand hard.

"Loud! And how long are you holding on to that, you idiot? Excuse me."

"No, I don't mind..."

"Itte...... okay. I thought you said you wanted to see Manuela.

"That's right..."

Kicked Thierry sees her peer Manuela with a pitiful face.

"You should be able to give us a place. Look, you're drawing attention."

Did Thierry's shouts sound all over the venue or the people who were bickering were stopping the conversation and gazing at the three Wins.

"We are also representatives of the Kingdom of Lyons, so think of your position!

"We're just young monks who can't be dealt with by anybody here."

"I'm telling you to think about Master Raul's position, even if no one has to deal with him! Our failure also leads to Raul's reputation!? Use some brains made of that muscle!

Manuela kicked the other tibia again when she scolded Thierry in a whisper with a loving laugh.

"Thierry excused me.

I almost laughed unexpectedly at the interaction between the two of them, but I'm only saying that I belong to the Kingsguard Knights and there's no gap in my appearance.

Manuela and Thierry, on the other hand, were also impressed by Winn's standing attitude.

I guess I got a lot of training from a very young age.

Nature without strength. Even if we set up an unintentional strike, they'll probably notice.

Manuela and Thierry were chosen to be closer samurai among the Knights of Kingsguard because of their near age with Raul Orto Lyon, Prince of the Kingdom of Lyon, but while swept by Raul's ability to act, they have nevertheless seen the present [Kensei] nearest.

Because of this, I feel confident that my eyes are fattening.

Together, they have longed for the strength of the Sword Sage and have polished their sword arms.

To get closer to the raul I admire.

That's just like Winn has been polishing his sword arms to cut and pave the way to the knight.

Furthermore, Wynn is the squire of the Emperor Lemursil, Manuela and Thierry are the closest of the princes of King Lyon and similar positions to each other.

If we have a lot in common, we can solve it quickly.

Neither Winn nor either of them are young and powerless to join the political game on this occasion.

We used to have time for each other and we played the story.

Winn asks Manuela and Thierry about the martial arts tradition launched by Raul, and Manuela and Thierry are thrilled to learn about Leticia.

When I heard the amount of workout that Wynn and Leticia were doing at an early age in the day, the look on their faces gradually drew - though.

"That's how you've been taught Master Leticia."

"It's a little facetious to be told that."

Winn scratched his little nose as illuminated by Manuela's words.

Manuela and Thierry both exaggerate when they talk about Winn and Leticia's workouts.

Besides, if you look at your eyes, you'll see that it's not your love minister.

They both ask to eat in, as if they were asking about some hero, Tan.

It's unusual for anyone to have this attitude toward Winn, and since the two are fine knights because they are older and see, albeit younger, Winn has no choice but to smile lightly.

"Now I think, indeed, Master Leticia was a genius. She calls me her master."

Instead, it was sometimes thought that if a more solid leader had taught Leticia than Winn, she might have been able to demonstrate her talents faster and stronger.

"Even if I didn't teach you, I'm sure Leticia would have immediately represented her talent."

I think Winn just happened to be by his side.

But...

"That's not true."

Manuela and Thierry's movements suddenly hardened.

And the voice I heard from behind.

Turning around, Leticia stood.

"That's not true."

"Oh, that? Why, Letty... Master Leticia's over here?

In an attempt to call him Letty as usual, Leticia gave a slightly dissatisfied look to Win, who hastily reworded it, but turned her attention to the two of them, who were solidifying in a cocktail next to Win.

"What about this one?

"Lord Thierry and Lord Manuela of the Knights of the Kingsguard of the Kingdom of Lyon."

Two men, Manuela and Thierry, thanked each other for their impeccable moves against Leticia.

"Would you both mind if I borrowed my mentor?

"Yes!

Smiling at the two of them, who have been hardened by cock cock, Leticia walks out with her arms tangled in Winn's arms.

"Master Leticia?

"Raul wants me to come. And your brother forbids me to salute you!

Whispering in a small voice that only Wynn can hear, Leticia turns a long way forward.

"Yeah, yeah. I'm here on official business, so I don't think it's a good idea to arm Letty."

"Avoid Men"

Leticia to blink a little.

"Oh well. Letty's cute. That's what some people say."

The two young Kingsguard knights of the Kingdom of Lyons were also nervous just as Leticia approached them.

Especially when it came to Thierry, whether she was in love or blushing.

"I have a lot of people to tell me. Is your brother okay with that?

"Oh, no..."

"Ugh."

Leticia smiled happily at Winn at last.

"It's also true to avoid men. But I'm also here to show you that my brother and I are close to each other in our relationship."

"Really?"

"Yeah."

Leticia nods with a bouncing voice.

"... and if I hadn't met your brother, I probably wouldn't have tried anything"

"Huh? What?

Because Leticia is smiling in a better mood than she was when she arrived at the venue, Winn was concerned about the gaze she was about to pierce, and missed that little voice.

Plus the thin pink dress that Leticia is wearing.

With a slightly accentuated chest design, Winn had his gaze swimming somewhere.

The way it looked was loving, and Leticia smiled prankily at Wynn, leaning firmly against her body.

"It's nothing. Here, brother, escort me more firmly."
