Chapter 119

Episode 119

Princess Daria was entering the banquet hall.

Everyone’s eyes turned to her.

It was a different reaction from Selina and Beatrice.

While they were beauties who gave off an aura that was difficult to approach, the princess was a beauty who made you want to protect her.

It made people feel like they wanted to approach her and do something for her, but unfortunately, no one knew that she was a powerless and ostracized princess.

“Hey, get back.”

“You can’t approach. 2 You might get caught by the prince.”

Moreover, the crown prince and the second prince were here together.

There was no nobleman who wanted to be admired by the royal family.

‘Is this the medieval version of bullying?’

She looked around with anxious eyes.

Her eyes trembled violently as she made eye contact with the second prince.

It was too pitiful to just watch it like that.

“Daria. “This way.”

The nobles looked at me waving at her and were shocked.

The other princes looked at me as if I wasn’t scared, but I wasn’t the one to care about that.

“Ah, Mr. Raymond.”

“Didn’t you say you weren’t feeling well? Why did you come out?…”

“Oh, that’s….”

She hesitated, wriggling her fingers, then glanced towards Selina and Beatrice.

“Those people….”

“Ah. “I met you last time when I went to give you an invitation, right?”

“yes.”

“nice to meet you. “It is an honor to meet you, princess.”

“I am very happy to see you, princess.”

Sparks seemed to fly as they greeted each other.

The women were exploring each other so deeply that even I could feel it right next to them.

“But how did you two get to know each other?”

“According to the rumor, the princess entrusted herself to me…”

“Raymond took care of me. “I received a lot of help.”

“Oh, I see. I also received a lot of help from Raymond. We even share swords together.”

“Me too. “I went to the North with Raymond and shared life and death together…”

The women chatted passionately, as if it had never been awkward.

In particular, Daria was a little embarrassed.

When she came in, she was scared because of what others thought about her, but when she talked to Selina and Beatrice, she didn’t want to lose.

On the contrary, it was to the point where I became embarrassed.

“What on earth is that guy doing? “What are those women surrounding me?”

“Hey you crazy guy! Don’t you put your hand down? “The person you pointed to is Raymond!”

“what? “I almost got into big trouble!”

Being surrounded by beautiful women wasn’t always a good thing.

Not only could I not participate in their conversation, but the attention of people around me was focused on their appearance.

I wanted to run away, but I couldn’t.

“Raymond. “What do you think?”

“Raymond. What they did with me….”

“I….”

They often spoke to me.

Just answering them one by one was enough to make me feel dizzy.

‘Why are these women suddenly fighting?’

Even though they didn’t lift a sword, their conversation was very sharp.

It was so bloody that I, who was listening from the side, was shaking.

“How long are you going to be like that?”

I sat slightly away from them, leaning against the table.

It was quite a distance to where the chair was, and there were so many nobles gathered there.

I had no desire to receive attention from people who didn’t need it.

Whoop.

I quietly drank champagne and looked around.

The banquet hall was already filled with nobles.

Among them who were gathered in small groups, there were especially many people around the crown prince and the second prince.

As I glanced at them, I made eye contact with the second prince.

‘Are you glaring at me now?’

She was glaring at me.

His eyes were so intense that it seemed like lasers were coming out of them.

Since what happened yesterday, I wasn’t embarrassed by him glaring at me.

I just shrugged my shoulders and ignored his gaze.

***

Crackling.

Lucius, who was glaring at Raymond, gritted his teeth.

She didn’t like him for humiliating her yesterday.

Also, I was annoyed by the way he was happily surrounded by women.

‘What’s so good about a guy like that…’

Tsk. He clicked his tongue.

I thought those women had pretty bad eyesight.

These women were called the flowers of the kingdom.

In addition, each of them had genius talents in magic and swordsmanship.

For such women, a man like themselves was suitable.

‘I am a man who will soon become king.’

It suits the person who will defeat the crown prince and become king, but not a flashy guy like that.

‘I’m sure that rumor was exaggerated.’

I have heard rumors about Raymond.

That he defeated a troll single-handedly, that he was an Auror user, that he showed great inaction in the North, etc.

Those rumors were too much to come from just one person.

There was no way such a rumor could have spread without being inflated.

“You annoying guy.”

After the banquet, he returned to his assigned room and found it difficult to shake off his anger.

I couldn’t forget the image of Raymond surrounded by women throughout the banquet.

‘How can I break his spirit?’

Until I came here, I had been thinking about recruiting Raymond.

I received a report that although I had a meeting with that damn crown prince, I did not actually become him.

Then you have a chance.

With that in mind, I received an invitation from Daria and she came the day before the banquet.

But everything went wrong from the beginning.

I didn’t know that I would stumble upon an invitation there.

I couldn’t stand the act of blatantly ignoring me.

The thought of having to capture him had long since disappeared, and now I was wondering how to get revenge.

Woo-woo-woo-woo-

At that time, the communication device he was carrying began to vibrate and glow.

“…!”

His face brightened at the communication port.

A man wearing a black mask was reflected in the communication port.

The masked man bowed his head towards him.

-I meet the person who will become the future owner of Serion.

I feel good whenever I hear these words.

Feeling much better, he opened his mouth.

“What’s going on?”

-I heard that you participated in the Millennium Banquet this time.

“that’s right. But why is that?”

I contacted them in advance before attending the banquet.

But it felt strange to bring it up now.

-I’ve contacted you because I have something to tell you.

“Who doesn’t know that? “What is that?”

Despite his harsh tone, the masked man continued speaking in a casual voice, as if he was used to it.

-This time, I decided to do some work there.

“The work?”

-yes.

“why? “You know I’m here and you’re going to work on it?”

Lucius’s eyebrows furrowed.

To put it simply, the masked person’s work was like setting off a bomb here.

To be honest, it doesn’t really have anything to do with it.

It had nothing to do with him detonating a bomb here or carrying out a large-scale attack.

However, the reason he is angry is because he is here.

From what he was saying, he was talking about doing something during a banquet where nobles were gathered together, and if that happened, it could have caused harm to him as well.

-That’s why I contacted you like this. If you remember what I do from now on, you will not be in danger.

“Are you sure?”

-Was there anything we did that made us uncertain about what we were doing? I remember never once disappointing him, but…

Lucius didn’t hear him mutter, ‘Things have gone awry recently.’

Not only was the masked person’s voice small, but he was also worried about what he would do if he was harmed.

“No. “I have never been dissatisfied.”

-This time will be no different. The only thing that makes this work different from other works is its size.

“You’re sure of my safety, right?”

-yes. If you remember what I’m saying correctly. In the first place, I won’t do anything to put you in danger.

“good. So what are you going to do?”

-I’m sorry, but I can’t tell you that far.

“what?”

Lucius was impressed by his words, interrupting his progress.

So far, there has never been a time when they did not report to me while working.

Whenever I did something, I always reported and asked myself for advice.

But I can’t do that this time.

“Why? Do you think I’m funny too?”

-no. How can we ignore degradation? He is the one who will become the owner of Serion in the future.

“That’s right.”

His mood was relieved by the masked man’s flattery.

Becoming the king of Serion was a magical word that lifted his mood.

-However, there was an order from above not to tell my Majesty about this matter.

“The governor?”

-yes.

“He is not the type of person to talk nonsense. I get it. “Let’s just skip that.”

The masked man lowered his head.

“Then tell me what I should do now.”

-There is a hunting event tomorrow….

His eyes sparkled as he listened to the masked man’s words.

***

By the time the dinner banquet was over, I was exhausted.

He didn’t even move his body or sweat.

I was exhausted from simply dealing with others in the banquet hall.

It was a difficult day that made me reflect on myself and wonder if my stamina was so lacking.

“Raymond! “Why don’t we spar!”

The mercenary king came into my room just as I was about to fall asleep.

He opened the door without any intention of knocking and came in.

“Why are you so tired? “Was it that hard today?”

“yes. “It’s a bit like that.”

“It’s all because I lack stamina! There is a saying that physical strength is the power of a nation! “Come out now and spar with me!”

He must have been bored being alone all day, so he didn’t get tired and insisted on sparring.

It would have been better if that were all.

-human! I was scared!

-I couldn’t even be with you because of that scary person!

-Humans aren’t going out? I’m bored!

The mercenary king wasn’t enough, so even the hatchlings were harassing me.

I got very tired of them pulling my arm and telling me to go out.

I had no desire to go out at all.

When you are already exhausted both physically and mentally, you have no energy left to deal with them.

It is unclear whether I will attend the hunting event tomorrow.

“Can you please leave me alone today?”

So, for the first time, I complained to them.

Please leave me alone.

Unfortunately, they didn’t seem to have any intention of doing so.

“What! If the human body is neglected for even a day, it hardens! So get up and move now!”

-Human, let me play!

It’s really this guy and that guy, and there’s no one who leaves me alone.

‘It would be nice if someone could come and save me.’

There was no one who would come to my room at this time.

The only ones there are are maids.

Ellis was so busy that she couldn’t even look forward to it, and even Rayna was busy working along with her.

I sighed heavily in a situation where I couldn’t ask for anyone’s help.

It was very annoying to see them as if they were going to drag me out if I didn’t go out.

“Isn’t there a knight commander?”

“He’s busy. “Even if I ask you to spar with me, why are you still making noises like that?”

“Why me? There are many other knights, even if they are not the knight commander.”

“Because doing it with you is the most fun!”

He pulled me aside, asking what I was going to do.

It was a time when I wondered if I should be dragged away like this.

“Raymond?”

Like a miracle, a voice of salvation was heard.
