The wise man returns

Visit of the Emperor

I don't think he's going to catch anyone.

Exactly what he said, Evelyn was filled with boasting about Valine for about five minutes after that.

by mixing up comparisons to Inbar, of course.

“Of course, the Inbar ball is great, but it's also a lot less than the ball you put on. Ahhhh! Lots of weeks. ”

“I'm sorry.”

Evelyn doesn't turn her sword to Leven on purpose.

Come on, what's wrong with Leven? If it was a crime, Valine snuck in here with a scarecrow teleport.

Earlier, Sonia, who was spoken to earlier, was also silently patient.

if you insist on squirming and flinching.

“Phew.”

Evelyn sighs deeply.

This was enough to punish him for sneaking away.

Meanwhile, Balin's expression shivers with an unknown feeling.

I was definitely listening to his compliments, but I felt bad for some reason.

It's not manipulated, but it's an ongoing inconvenience!

However, it seemed to be a good line compared to the one who refused the offer and moved.

“Duke Ketil at last. If that testimony is true, I'm sure it would be worth presenting these two as nobles. Of course, Father Charlotte is His Holiness's jurisdiction, so I can't interfere. ”

Not even an emperor, Padre. You can't just give orders to a foreign priest.

However, with Evelyn's status, the words become obsolete.

“Yes, it is. If you're uncomfortable with Father Charlotte, at least get a letter of recommendation from the Holy Father...”

“I see. Duke Ketil recommends it. I can't help it. Personally, I'm happy to accept that they're trustworthy. ”

With Evelyn's determination, Duke Ketil sighs of relief.

I couldn't help but feel sorry for Balin.

The reason Evelyn is here right now is to judge Duke Ketil's guilt.

Nevertheless, it was possible to recommend people because they believed that they would definitely have a role to play.

‘I can't believe that man died in vain in his past life. I can't tell you how grateful I am to have another chance. Thank you, Layan. ’

Balin glances at the ceiling, thinking bluntly.

He thanked Laian, who would be over the sky above.

“But I hear these two are childhood friends. Is that true, you two? ”

“... Yes. ”

As soon as I heard that, I felt anxious for some reason.

As soon as Balin makes his move, Evelyn gives the first order.

“Duke Ketil, step back, and let Inbar and Charlotte face each other. This is a blasphemy.”

“Hmm?"

“The Order...? ”

The eyes of the nobles converge in front of the high places.

Valine, Leven, and Sonia and the Emperor were all in one place.

“No way...?! ”

“Laugh!”

The appearance of certain nobles pales because of the kill order.

The new emperor purges the nobles of existing forces.

It was a rare history, but not without it.

The nobles have been training Mana or are quick to find their way out.

But the doors to the banquet hall were already closed, and the nobles from the Great Wall stood in the way.

"Oh, my God! ’

When the look on the nobles' faces became cloudy, Valine also made an embarrassing expression.

Even if you try to conjure Silence, it's too late.

Unless an order came out, once the order was issued, it was a courtesy to follow it to the surface.

Balin confronts Reuben indescribably.

“Woe, Emperor? ”

“Wait a minute, Duke. I want to purely bless the future of these two childhood friends. ”

It was obvious that it wasn't just the look on my face, but I couldn't.

Unless you want me to slit his throat right now, the current order was within Evelyn's authority to act as Emperor.

“Are you really going to do this? ”

“It's okay, isn't it? ”

Sonia next door asks in a tone that blends worries and interests in half.

But Evelyn has already made up her mind.

For a wizard who didn't know people's minds like this, he needed to show them the bitterness by borrowing the power of authority.

“Then put your hands on each other's shoulders and stick close together. This is also a manifestation.I 'll hold Laian accountable later, so hurry up. ”

“... Well, wait a minute. Evel...”

“Call me Your Majesty. Inbar.”

Balin quickly opened her mouth, thinking she would be irreversible, but she couldn't help but make a sound in front of the imperial court.

"I don't know what it is you're trying to do, but I'll make sure to double it!" ’

Instead, Valine bursts into flames of vengeance.

I can't do it now, but I will make sure to pay for it in the future.

“Emperor Evelyn. What would you do if Layan didn't forgive you? ”

“Father Charlotte. I'm pretty sure that's not going to happen. ”

Lower than Leven asked, but Evelyn, who had already had fun, spoke.

“Now you two, kiss each other. I won't forgive you for touching it lightly. If I don't kiss you enough, I'll make you disobey the imperial decree again. This is a blessing from the Emperor himself. Do you understand? ”

“!!!?!?! ”

The frightening Balin flinches without my knowledge.

But the order had already fallen, and now it was too late to change it.

‘Dammit, memory manipulation psychic magic, despite dragon magic, was not learned in the late stages…! When you need it!! ’

No magic in my head could break the current situation.

Pretending to be crazy and not killing all the nobles.

“Then, my lords, let's all give a big round of applause. to make sure that the two people Duke Kettle recommended have a happy future. ”

“Haha, hahahaha!! ”

“Congratulations! Val... no, Inbar Wizard! And Father Charlotte! ”

The frozen nobles respond to Evelyn without you.

They had to be desperate. We don't know when the kill warrant will drop.

Thanks to this, the banquet hall was filled with pink atmosphere at once.

It felt like someone was having a wedding.

“Th... pha...”

Meanwhile, Balin struggles to find peace and looks at Leven.

Whether it stimulates old memories, Leven remains motionless with his head down.

It was obvious that he was aware of the situation from the red to the root of his ears.

Balin suddenly thought of looking back at Evelyn.

If the plates have already been made, moving in line with them shouldn't be too bad.

‘What Evelyn is trying to do now is force me to kiss Leven. To enjoy the awkwardness. ’

In terms of romance, Balin was quite aware of the mischief of wanting to mislead the opponent.

It was already too late to fix the situation, so this was the only answer.

“Leven.”

Balin chants her real name, casting Silence Magic around her.

He thought it was inappropriate to speak under an alias.

“Wait! That name...! ”

Leven raises his head in horror. At that moment, Balin approached her and kissed her lips.

It was an expression of commitment that it would not do what it wanted, while it was a kiss that seemed to be obvious.

“Ugh! Ugh... Ugh. ”

The feeling of the first kiss was strange in many ways. Valine tightens her body as if she were watching, and gives her hand strength.

Even Evelyn is amazingly familiar with it! I had some illusion magic, so it was obvious that it looked that way.

Leben, who was surprised for a moment, was also actively responding.

Thanks to Valine, I was able to remember the feeling of first kiss surprisingly vividly throughout my life.

It's the feel of the tongue sticking into the lips, the refreshing aroma coming through the tip of the nose, all of it.

But it was also Leben's eyes that Balin engraved in the deepest part of his brain.

I closed my eyes for a moment, but there was something I saw in the night sky in the eyes across from me.

* * *

The meal of the first day ended very successfully.

There was not a single problem from beginning to end, but in the last sequence, the emperor himself came and blessed the future of young lovers.

Two out of hundreds of attendees think the banquet failed, no. There was only one.

After the banquet, Evelyn took an annex with Sonya to relax.

I did everything I could to come today, so I was going to do a full reconnaissance tomorrow after the reception.

That's why the inner chamber of the quiet cottage, but now it was noisy with someone's voice.

“What are you doing!? Without consultation!! ”

“So did you talk to us about the ball when you got here? ”

In Evelyn's words, the one, Balin, persists without losing.

“Even so. This is different from that! The contract is already over, and I just happened to be in the Southern Great Mountains by accident. You can't do this with it. ”

The contract was over anyway, and the more than two paid each other, the more credit was now on the line.

So it doesn't matter where anyone is. I could not help but refute the rhetoric.

But Evelyn was also educated by the Emperor in her own way. Instead, she smiles, asking Valine a question.

“Then Balline, didn't I just leave a blessing for the beautiful man and woman who accidentally went on a fair scouting trip? ”

“You're blindfolded and gorgeous. You're gonna pay for this eventually. Know this.”

Balin said without saying a word.

I had to compare myself with myself to be patient.

Being here without actually notifying us was a situation where we could feel betrayal even if we changed our position.

However, it was different to lure Leven in and kiss him.

“So, shall we settle this right here? ”

“...? ”

Balin's body stops trying to turn around.

If you could settle it right now, there was a lot to be said.

“Settlement?”

“Yes. An eye for an eye, an ear for an ear, and a kiss for a kiss. What do you think?”

“... ”

Balin sighs instead of answering, and sits down.

Earlier, I was going to go back to performance, and now I have a story to tell.

“So, what happened to the late Ratross? I'm guessing fragging. Ball Ball, you saw the exact situation, right? ”

“Exactly. But this is a secret only we should know. ”

“Huh? Why? ”

Sonya shakes her head as she rolls the ball across the bed.

Considering what Earl Rattus did, it didn't do much damage to him to say it.

What do the central nobles do when they're sharpening their swords?

Everyone has confirmed that Duke Ketil is already under the support of both Balin and Leben, as well as the emperor.

There was not a single great central aristocrat who dared to turn the Holy See, the Emperor, and the world's greatest wizard against him.

Especially after the collapse of the former central axis, the Duke of Rudens and Abel.

But Valine was aiming for more than just that.

To do that, Earl Rattus had to climb a little higher.

“Instead, we should announce this to the nobles. ”

When he finished speaking, Balin laughed.

“One of the bravest nobles of our time, who died in the name of honor." ”

This is the second part of the day. Thank you for reading.

Wow, did you get your first kiss because you're 257? Oh, this is...

Ladies and gentlemen, what Evelyn did was, A round of applause.

It seems to be one more coming up in the morning, so you can sigh and start the day after.

I'll see you if I can get the last episode up between 6: 00 and 7: 00... Thank you for reading.
