This is one of Lilac's private rooms that Fouta was ordered to wait one day when she first entered the castle.

The lights of the ore lights hanging from the high ceilings gently illuminate the sunset herd. Fouta sat deeply on the sofa and waited for the words of the girl tilting the teacup in front of her.

Slowly returning the cup of hot air to the saucer, she slowly turned her lying pale eyes towards Futa.

A slight strong will in the gentle colors as usual.

My mouth, cheeks, eyebrows. Stay calm and expressionless everywhere.

But Futa knew.

When she looks like that, it's for some purpose and she wants to take advantage of Futa.

"It's a royal party..."

"Yeah, I don't think that's a bad story for you either."

Dear Lilac,

Put the weight on your back in front of you.

If you stretch your spine so that you stare straight at Lilac, there will be a slight upset.

Just leave her surprised, Futa tells her.

"If you have anything, please say as much as you want. I don't have to go all the way around, but I'm coming with you."

……

Futa told her to make a smile and make her feel safe.

However, Lilac, who usually admits his words and opens his mouth, still gently strokes his lips with his thoughtful face.

Lilac shook his head loosely to Lilac, who slightly leaned his neck to say something he didn't like.

"No, I'm happy. That's right. That's what you're going to say, even though I want Futa to move."

"... anything else?

I don't understand the intent.

Lilac smiled in trouble at Futa's words with such feelings.

It's just a small difference. Just a little mistake.

I didn't want you to come with me.

I just wanted you to come with me.

As long as you think that's the same thing, I'm sure this irregularity won't be fixed.

It used to mean the same thing. As long as only one side has changed, there is no way to "shift".

"Nothing. Now, keep your appointment."

"I see.... but I can't believe it's the royal castle party again."

"Why, it's a difficult story."

Tilt the teacup and she murmurs.

Nothing unusual about a party at the royal castle.

Just because Lilac didn't attend, the number of parties that were open was rotten.

Besides, the party itself is not bad or anything.

For kingdoms and kingdoms, and those who expand their network of commerce and interests around the world, each other is a business partner.

For them, networking is the lifeline for survival in the social world ahead, and also the tree of gold.

In that case, Beatrix did not lose his role as a member of the King's City Council when he was in active service, and the Olba Chamber of Commerce has been built up with its power.

A social party is a meeting where different societies interact, as if they were literal.

"I didn't pick it up and suddenly try to throw a party. The party itself has been going on many times since His Majesty's return. So if you think it's just an invitation."

"Okay, I'll go. Something about Lilac's integrity."

"- You must have experienced it once on the day you won the match before you. You don't have to sneak in now."

"... in retrospect, it was pretty tough..."

Unaccustomed memories are revived.

All of them were meant to be connected to the princess, but that's why you can't go anywhere.

I shrunk my mind and remembered that I managed to do something about it.

"Besides, I said good taste... whether it's a civilian or a meritorious person, it's a party."

Oh, really?

With a surname - that is, a person with a nobility in the kingdom - Futa, who remembers talking, looks up unexpectedly at the words.

Lilac nodded and nodded.

When she talks about something that doesn't happen, she talks softly.

"You can buy the kingdom's nobility with money. If you think of it as the nobility of the future, you can invite it to your own faction."

"I see, for my own sake."

That's what it is.

Besides, she continued.

"You may be the champion of the tournament, but above all, you are my guest. It's impossible, and you don't have to be timid. All you have to do is be grand.... that's what you were doing in the arena."

"Hey...."

"Fufu. It's not a joke, is it?

Like teasing, Lilac smiles.

The arena. In other words, Huta's behavior at the tournament.

Regardless of whether or not she was able to become the biggest wall of gladiators, as Pasta produced it, her words made fun of the Fouta who played that way.

Actually, if Pasta told me, it was below the point.

It's a bit embarrassing to be laughed at by Lilac.

Let's do it a little better next time.

Make up your mind that you only have practice for that.

"I see. Well, I'm majestic.... so what do I do?

"You mean at the party? That's right... it's easy to say," Remember the human face of the social world to some extent. "

So he cuts the words and Lilac thinks slightly.

It is quite imprudent to ask Futa, who has little experience of partying, to identify the person to be connected to.

It is difficult to say whether Lilac can be exhausted or not. Essentially, there will be many people who come to greet her, even if they are going to be with her.

I didn't come out of my face much, so I gave up.

The reason is that there is a prospect of increasing my rarity rather than simply loathing parties, but that's a little behind it this time.

So think about it a little bit.

"That's right, let's prep a little bit more about who we need to know. Who should be watching what kind of person is there? And..."

She narrows her eyes and murmurs.

"Who is the enemy?"

"Eh...."

Clearly, she says there are enemies in the castle.

I knew there were no allies. I also knew that she had managed to survive to this point.

For the last 17 years.

I was desperate not to be killed, but to survive.

But living is not an end in itself. Her aspiration is to bring about change in this world.

There are only two kinds if she calls them "enemies."

One is the one who doesn't take her grief for granted. Beatrice M. Olba is on this.

And the other one - the one who tries to get rid of her as a "rapist." Richter L. Klimbroom is here.

However, there are two kinds of lineages, and their thoughts vary.

Beatrix believes that he wants a "profession."

Richter is working for an all-out state.

But there are others who use their "profession" to commit evil. A person who wants to interrupt a "rapist" for a vested interest.

There will be many "enemies".

Huta pulls her chin small and waits for Lilac's words.

"― ― The arena is our great power base and one of our dreams to be fulfilled. But let us not forget that there are those who obstruct their dreams and their desires ahead of them. And don't look away from them."

Was it just a pasta valve shaking the stick?

Now Futa can't just dawn in the sword anymore.

Spectacular ahead, King's City, and Princess.

There are enemies to fight to protect.

And the preamble was about to open the curtain.

"And one more thing. Fouta, I have a purpose to invite you to a party."

What is it?

Lilac drank the remaining tea and slowly told her.

"The king wants to see you."
