#Side Story 14. Even if a loyalist has no partner (4)
* * *
ââ¦I think the atmosphere has finally gotten a little better.â
âFortunately, the. âI almost thought the party that Tata had prepared was going to fail.â
Spacious banquet hall.
As the cold atmosphere gradually cleared up, Tata looked pleased as he saw young men and women everywhere talking intimately with each other or dancing to music.
Although I was already busy, I went through a lot of trouble preparing not only for this group meeting⦠but also for the party.
If the party had ended without any results, I would have wanted to cry.
âHmm, it was a party that was meant to be a meeting in the first place, so I donât know why the atmosphere was so badâ¦â
âA whale came in out of nowhere while we were playing with shrimp, so itâs natural that thereâs no way the mating could go well.â
âyes? What whale?â
â¦Even more so in the fact that the person who almost destroyed this party with her own beauty doesnât know English.
Varvara clicked her tongue as she saw Nadia tilting her head with her animal ears pricked up.
I donât know, but because of Nadia, there will be one contestant out of ten who makes other men and women look like pumpkins.
Of course, if we put it that way, they were also an ecologically disturbing species.
âNo matter what, I think it was a bit too much for Lord Morganâ¦â
That was why.
The reason Frea had a bitter smile on her face.
To be honest, I wouldnât know if it was a serious marriage proposal, but it wasnât much of a problem to accept a simple dance request.
Nevertheless, the reason why Dane was treated coldly was because there was a need to divert the attention of the participants.
In fact, thanks to Dane being destroyed, the participants who had been waiting for an opportunity to approach the girls were now interacting with other men and women.
It was a truly noble sacrifice.
Of course, I felt sorry for Dane, who became an unintentional victim, butâ¦
âThere is no need to worry. âIt was the eldersâ request that it would be good to tone down the pride of my relative, who ignores all confrontation.â
âThe likelihood of Dane A. Morgan getting married in the next three years has increased by 13%, so thereâs no need to feel sorry.â
Ellisâs calm words.
Cana agreed with a cold face.
In the first place, the decision to treat Dane coldly was decided when Ellis asked him to do so through a secret network of close associates.
I had no idea that Dane would commit suicide on such a grand scale.
However, Nadia, who had contributed the most to the self-destruction without any real intention, muttered calmly.
âWell, anyway, thanks to you, I can rest in peace. âIâve been so busy these days that I havenât had time to properly rest.â
âItâs been a while since Iâve been able to relax like this.â
ââ¦As expected, you too are out of your mind.â
âIt is natural given the circumstances.â
Tata and Preah, of course.
Even Ellis agreed with Nadia.
In this situation where manpower shortage was severe, even Ellis, who was considered the most perfect aide, could not avoid overwork.
The best one is Kana, who can handle more tasks than others through time manipulation.
And because they were sharing the work, Arbella and Barbara were in a better situation than the other close associates.
âPlease donât push yourself too hard.â
âIf you work while tired, it becomes easier to make mistakes.â
ââ¦what you say is correct.â
âYes, you could make a big mistakeâ¦â
Why?
The reason those words touched my heart.
While the other aides all had complicated expressions as if they remembered something from the words of the two sisters.
Tata cleared his throat and continued speaking.
âFrom Tataâs perspective, the atmosphere seems to be suitably ripe, so why donât you all look into it as well?â
âWhat do you mean look for itâ¦?â
âOf course heâs a good groom.â
The reason the princesses sent their entourage to this party was not just to encourage young people to participate voluntarily.
This is because I wanted to give women who are busy with work a chance to meet a good partner.
âUh⦠Are you a good groom?â
But Nadia actually blinked as if she had heard something very strange.
And after looking around the party venue.
He said with a more blank face.
âI donât think itâs here?â
ââ¦How do you know that just by looking at it?â
âWell, I donât see a man who is richer or stronger than Dane.â
ââ¦Are you really serious about that condition?â
âOf course I meant itâ¦?â
How can a man who has no money and is not particularly trustworthy be considered a potential husband?
Tata was silent as he looked at Nadia who spoke indifferently.
She realized that the reason she dumped Dane so suddenly was not because of Ellisâ request, but because he genuinely did not meet her standards.
And that meant that Nadia did not see almost all of the partygoers as men.
âWell then, what about the others?â
Tata, who was not confident that he could find a partner who was at Nadiaâs level, eventually turned his attention to other aides,
butâ¦
âAs I already said, I need a partner who can help me serve the princess.â
ââ¦Is that all?â
âWell, if I had to add a condition, it would be better if the man had a good character enough to donate all his assets.â
In short, Freah must be a single-blooded, high-hearted beggar with no family to tie her to.
It was hard to find him at this party even if you looked for him with your eyes closed, but he was still better.
âI already told you who a good man is for me.â
âI am not asking about the Silver Dragon Princessâs plaything, but about your husband.â
âI am confident that I will 100% fall in love with any man who can always make the princess happy, right?â
Truly madness.
Kana has an ideal type that is captivating even by the standards of those close to her who adore princesses more than anyone else.
âI have no feelings for a man who is not as versatile as my princess, but as versatile as me.â
Also known as all-round perfection.
Excluding the princesses, Ellis is the most versatile and perfect of the Seven Dragons, and has strict standards for her spouse as well.
âFirst of all, I like a healthy man.â
âHealth is good, but isnât it also important to like how you smell?â
âWell, smell is important.â
âWouldnât it be nice to be considered attractive if it smells good enough to make you feel like a drug just by being in the same space?â
Even though the Green Dragon Clan has a sensitive sense of smell as they deal with poisons and medicines, even Barbara and Arbella place body odor as a priority.
Listen to all the conditions.
After slowly looking around at my aides.
Tata nodded with an expression of understanding.
âThis is bad.â
I think that even if there had been no request from Ellis, Dane would have been unable to avoid the fate of being left behind by his close associates.
Tata internally lamented.
A man just needs to have artistic sense and raise children well, but thatâs because he has such a picky eye.
Even if they searched the whole world, it was doubtful whether they would find the partner they wanted.
Therefore, as an elder, she gave sincere advice.
âIn Tataâs view, if you donât lower your view of men, you are the type of person who will fight for yourselves for the rest of your life.â
âIs that what you, a single person, would say?â
âDo not worry. Tata is married because he is married to his job. So, unlike you, I will never become an old maid.â
Tata responded shamelessly.
Maybe it was because I was dumbfounded by his confident and even confident attitude.
Arbella said as if she was scolding herself without realizing it.
âHmph, speak straight! Itâs not that thereâs no chance of becoming an old maidâ¦â
Pew!
âHuh!?â
It was just a moment.
Barbara takes a picture of her side.
The two layers of telekinetic power covered his mouth and grabbed his throat.
To Arbella, who was frozen by the lightning attack that occurred without any of the other participants at the party realizing it.
Tata said with a smile.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âMiss Arbella. In Tataâs experience, there are words in this world that should never be said, even as jokes.â
ââ¦.â
âDo you understand?â
Contrary to his smiling face, Tataâs eyes are not smiling, and the cold gaze of the senior level experts does not even have a formal smile.
And for a moment, I broke into a cold sweat while looking at my sisterâs eyes as if she were crazy about wanting to die.
After nodding slowly.
Arbella apologized for her mistake.
No, I was trying to apologize.
Sigh.
ââ¦?â
Until I suddenly felt a sweet scent pass my nose along with the sound of the door opening.
Abrella unconsciously made a bewildered expression at that familiar, but never expected scent from this place.
It wasnât just her.
All the other aides also hastily turned in one direction.
The entrance to the party that had just been openedâ¦
or more accurately, the man who appeared there.
âHmm, I guess Iâm a little late.â
The women couldnât help but widen their eyes when they saw their husbandâs truly carefree expression.
* * *
Dane A. Morgan.
He was depressed.
All the young and outstanding late-stage exponents of the Seven Dragons were shown getting dumped again and again at the gathering.
No matter how arrogant the Golden Dragon Clan was⦠no, because he was arrogant, he couldnât help but feel even more depressed.
Thatâs why he thought to himself as he drank alone in the corner of the party.
Itâs not your fault.
I just happened to use poison.
If anyone else had approached his associates, he would have shown similar behavior.
It was self-consolation to satisfy the bare minimum of pride, but it was not just a mental victory.
In fact, this fact was proven by the fact that not only men but also women did not go near his close associates after that.
A princess who is the absolute leader of the Seven Dragons.
How noble and dangerous the person who assists them is.
This is because everyone was painfully aware of it just by watching for a moment.
That was why.
Right now at this moment.
The reason why all the participants, including Dane, had no choice but to watch the scene unfold from one side of the party with dumbfounded expressions on their faces.
âAre these the only chairs available?â
âUmm ah! There was definitely something more useful in the VIP room on the third floor.â
âI understand.â
Parging.
âAre you feeling uncomfortable? Oh, would you like some tea?â
âAlcohol is better than tea.â
âOkay then, would you like some whiskey? wine? Orâ¦â
âIf possible, I recommend this. âIt is a traditional liquor that has an 86% chance of meeting your fatherâs taste.â
Grrr.
âIs there anything uncomfortable?â
âJust tell me whatever you need.â
A mature white-haired woman pulling out various objects, including a chair, and a blue-haired beauty helping her move through the space.
A peerless beauty with animal ears fidgeted and hurriedly brought a glass of alcohol, and a silver-haired maid politely poured alcohol into the glass.
The green-haired twins wait politely as if they will obey whatever you ask them to do without saying anything.
Andâ¦
âIâm sorry, but may I ask what brought you here?â
âBecause even the princesses care about this event. âThey were busy and couldnât come, so I came by for a moment to make sure things were going well.â
âIâm truly sorry that you intentionally made a mistake because of us.â
â¦A subject who never bowed his head to other princesses other than Charlotte, even a relative who bowed in deference.
Until a moment ago, I was as brave as a lion.
Now itâs like a flower that fell off a cliff.
Or like a maid welcoming her master.
Dane couldnât help but be entranced as he watched the girls eagerly serving Limon, even wagging their tails.
