Remuel stayed in Luventrion for the day on the king's request as they hold a party for the completion. Remuel brought out all the treasure from the [Interdimensional Storage] and quickly displayed them to the king, along with all the retainers, and the other two scholars in the throne hall. "Ah wait, maybe I shouldn't have brought it out here..." All of the people inside the room had wide eyes as they were not only displayed magic that was out of their level, but also the various golden ornaments and large number of coins that could be seen in the hall. "By reward, I'll take this book, it will be necessary for the future of [World Peace]. And a golden toilet if possible." With a weird demand coming from Remuel, he quickly had those arrangements done and dismissed the audience.
Now, he was alone in the guest room that was assigned to him. He spent his time watching some videos using the internet that was made functional by Jaquinn and Harold. There was nobody disturbing him for a while and he was free to do whatever he wished for the time being.
"It's been a while since I had this kind of lifestyle, I'm glad that I get to do this from time to time as well." He felt a large sense of nostalgia as he navigated his phone out from the video and moved to a game app. He then spent the rest of his free time gaming with a person coming in the middle of it. "You seem busy there Remuel, mind telling me about that gadget?" Remuel's eyes twitched and started look around to locate the owner of the voice. "Bethany, need something?" Lightly asking while continuing to play his strategy game, Bethany sat down on his bed. "Well, I just wanted to check on you... You immediately went to your guest room after His Majesty adjourned the meeting and didn't come out for a long period of time. So I wanted to check on you before we have the dinner party. Is there something wrong?" Remuel was grinning as he paused the game. "I was just killing time with my phone. Well, I don't often get the opportunity to just slack off so..." Remuel looked away in shyness as he explained about his old secret lifestyle.
The two stayed on the bed as they chatted about their lifestyles before they arrived to their current positions. Remuel also decided to talk about the usage of the phone. Such a lengthy topic allowed the time to pass through speedily. They were called to dress up for the party as Remuel finally wore his formal attire once more.
In the dinner party, they were greeted by various nobles praising them for the completion of the [Dungeon of Illusion], and for confronting the nobles that performed human experimentation. Some of them were trying to sugar up to Remuel because of his position as an archon. But Remuel was already used to events like this even before he was summoned to this world. The endless greetings continued until the time for people to dance had began.
Some nobles were able to pair up with women and brought them to the center of the party for a dance. While some nobles watch them in sheer jealousy. It was a cycle that Remuel was familiar with as there would always be a bunch that would jealously watch the dance as they're cursed to be single for a long time.
Bethany had been accompanying Remuel in the party, but seeing as he felt obliged to dance. He smoothly turned his body towards Bethany and offered a hand for her. "Care for a dance, milady?" Bethany, receiving a sudden invitation from Remuel, blushed out of embarrassment and accepted his hand. The two then went to the center and enjoyed their dance.

The next day, Remuel was already planning to return to the castle of Preeliance. He was helping Bethany prepare everything she needs to move towards her new home.
"Aight, is that everything?" Remuel looked around the now empty room that was lent for Bethany. The only things that were left were the empty drawers, and the furniture that was owned by Luventrion. "Mhm, let's go Remuel." Remuel and Bethany walked towards the office where the king worked. With a light greeting, they were able to explain what happens afterwards along with Bethany moving to the castle of Preeliance.
"I see, then we should give you the arranged reward now. We mentioned that we will reward the one who solved the entire [Dungeon of Illusion] half of what was taken. But since it was difficult to prepare everything at once, I will deliver the rest through the monthly meeting. For now, please receive the requested golden toilet and the [Book of Illusions] as promised, along with ten platinum coins." Remuel casually received the rewards along by placing them in his interdimensional storage. "Thanks for the hospitality, see you by the end of the month." The greeting was casual for Remuel, as his position was seen as equal or above a king. "Thank you for everything you've done for me, Your Majesty." Bethany on the other hand gave a more formal greeting before they left. Remuel opened a portal from an inconspicuous location and returned to the castle of Preeliance instantly with Bethany.
But the second he exit his room to make a report to Serkyrio, he was greeted by the said person, along with Draxus and Remuel. "Welcome home man, had fun on your full trip?" Remuel made a retort towards Draxus who greeted him first. "You know I had multiple stops here right? Well anyways, I'm home now." The three of them brought Remuel to the dining hall. Serkyrio then quickly spoke to lessen up the tension Remuel had built overtime. "For now Remuel, we got a Homecoming Party for ya."
In the dining hall, various food were prepared for everybody to indulge. The only members that are invited the Preeliance directives, researchers for the [Preeliance Laboratory], and Remuel's fiancés. They were able to get noisy as they were able to enjoy themselves easily. Some chaos occurred within the celebration as Draxus began a commotion of playing Russian Roulette with one piece of food being stupidly spicy. And unfortunately, Remuel was the one who was victimized by it.
Nonetheless, Remuel quickly felt at home at the castle of Preeliance. Where he now lives with all of his heart.
