Daisy's transfer will be discussed with Reyhaas.
Having just finished dressing up, I left the temple building to get on a carriage.
As if looking at a few ancient structures, the temple was magnificent and there were countless buildings.
I saw white horses pulling a white carriage with an Elium pattern on it. As the coachman stopped the horses, a man in silver armor approached and opened the carriage door.
The strong-bodied man then looked at me and bowed his head and said.
"I am Dwayne, commander of the 2nd Holy Knights. Today I will escort you."
He had brown hair and looked to be in his thirties.
"Please. Dwayne."
Lightly greeting him, I got into the carriage.
The carriage inside was more comfortable than expected, although not as comfortable as the interior of the van.
Sitting on the velvet soft seat, I leaned back.
Today, as the representative of the shrine, I went to the Crown Prince's twentieth birthday banquet. This means that it is different from ordinary young girls who need an escort from a male partner.
The sound of horses' hooves could be heard behind the carriage. The 2nd Holy Knights, including Dwayne, started marching and escorting.
The speed of the carriage was not fast, and I looked outside, looking at the path until I left the huge temple.
I had never been out of the temple until now, so I was just guessing, but the temple was probably much bigger than I thought.
The horse didn't run, but anyway, it took more than 10 minutes to get out of the temple even at the speed of the carriage.
'I'll probably need a word when we get out.'
I quietly added a horse to the plan.
There is a stable in the main building and not far from where I live, so I think I should visit it often to learn.
Thinking that if I had a notebook, I would write down my plans, I stared at the road leading from the end of the temple.
As the temple was not located in a remote place, it wasn't long before a street that looked like a bustling city came up.
People flocked to both sides of the road, scattering flowers, and some of the dogs were praying while watching my carriage.
A place where everyone is respected and welcomed.
God's agent.
and.... ,
[The Odyssey, the god of love, is perplexed.]
[Hesed, the god of knowledge, coughs.]
[Monde, the god of art, paints this landscape.]
I thought about it before, but no matter how much I think about it, they are gods that are close to the cult.
"Are you all the real gods right?"
It was an awkward sentence structure without a subject, but I couldn't find a more appropriate word than this.
The chat window flashed again to see if the gods heard me.
[Hesed, the god of knowledge, reveals an uncomfortable heart.]
"Well, I'm a fake saint, how do I know if you're a fake gods?"
It was a word that was deliberately thrown as a provocation.
But at that moment, suddenly there was a thunderous sound with a flash of lightning flashing from the sky. There was no rain, but it was a dry thunderbolt.
After a while I opened my mouth.
"...Well, that's enough."
No further answers appeared in the dialog.
I remembered the faces of two young children, who were somehow protruding.
"Puff."
I burst out laughing. I felt a little lighter.
'So they are real gods?'
I decided to accept their existence.
Even if they were gods, they couldn't hear what I was thinking, so I never reacted to what I was thinking.
But when I moved or spoke, they reacted.
[The Odyssey, the god of love, wonders what your laughter means.]
'I have to say that I'm lucky that I didn't even think about it.'
As I was immersed in complicated thoughts, the carriage entered the Imperial Palace.
A number of magnificently sized buildings similar to or slightly larger than the temple had a reddish-brown exterior that was different from the gray walls of the temple.
Crossing the arched bridge, the carriage entered the palace. And passing through countless landscapes, I stopped in front of a grand building like the Seoul Arts Center.
'So that mean there's a second male protagonist over there?'
I thought a little shaky.
The banquet hall was an exterior that anyone could see was built for performances or banquets.
At some point, it was getting dark outside, and the banquet was gradually filling up with people.
When I got off the wagon, the paladins gathered and bowed their backs to me.
Holding the hem of the dress, I walked proudly along the blue carpet.
A lot of the eyes of the knights and various nobles were focused on me, but I was not nervous.
In my previous life, when I entered my father's house, the countless contemptuous gazes and harsh words poured out towards me.
Compared to the war-like day-to-day, these curious gazes belonged to the pleasant axis.
'Keep your head straight and look straight ahead. Walk with your back straight, and your eyes are clear.'
I had learned to arm myself in order not to look shabby and weak myself.
I walked slowly into the banquet hall without turning my eyes to the ladies and nobles who were shouting at me.
The orchestra was playing to enhance the atmosphere of the banquet, and servants carrying trays were walking around, handing out glasses of wine ordered to the nobles.
I continued walking along the carpet.
And stared at the two thrones at the end of the long carpet.
There was an emperor who appeared to be in his mid-50s with pale red hair wearing a heavy-looking crown, and a young queen with blonde hair who appeared to be in his twenties.
That man is Emperor Lauchen Janssen Ilyde.
And that woman...′
I heard that Empress Law Ilyde, who came to the house three years ago, was the daughter of Count Michael.
I saw a man standing next to the throne, dressed in a fine robe and wielding a long sword. Perhaps it is the Crown Prince who is the protagonist of this banquet.
Even compared to Reyhaas, his height, broad shoulders, and solid physique make him indistinguishable.
Blood-red hair and sharp eyes, deep red like a burning flame.
The man who will become the emperor of the empire, is the brightest and coolest man, but only loses his cold heart to her mistress, public figure Camilla.
'Kyle Alexis Ilyde.'
Numerous medals on his indigo uniform proved his merit.
"...."
I stood in front of the Emperor and the Crown Prince. Then, holding the hem of the dress, I placed one hand on my chest and bowed my head politely to them.
"On the occasion of the Crown Prince's twentieth birthday, we send the blessing of Elium to the Imperial Family."
"Thank you, saint. Raise your head."
When I heard the calm voice of the emperor, I slowly raised my head.
"By the protection of the nine gods, we deliver congratulations from Elium and all the temples."
I glanced at Kyle's face.
The dark and cold eyes, the cool light of the eyes, and even the slightly narrowed brow, which makes it difficult to plant something.
Ariel may have met him once or twice, but I could feel that the relationship wasn't good.
"In the beginning…"
I could see his eyebrows twitching, but I continued.
Everyone was looking at me because the blessing of the temple was a very important procedure.
"When the Lord created our world and his power was divided into nine branches, the splendid power of charity among them instilled in the empire, and the empire of Illid prospered. And the god of justice chose the emperor, and the empire came to power."
As I met his gaze, I spoke seriously.
"The Crown Prince was born in Ciel's blessed month. He is wiser than anyone else to assist in government affairs, and he does not neglect theocracy, so virtue and blessings will bring more splendor to the empire. Our Elium is the Emperor's servant and companion..."
His cold eyes were still profane, but I didn't care and continued talking.
"Congratulations on the birthday of His Majesty the Crown Prince, who is the only heir. May the blessing of Ciel, the god of destruction, and the blessings of the other eight gods rest upon you."
After I finished speaking, I sighed in relief.
Fortunately, there doesn't seem to be a single blemish in the congratulatory speech I wrote.
"Okay, now......."
Of course, I didn't like his openly cold expression, but I still had to do what I had to do.
I bowed my head, folded both of my hands, and reached out to ask for his hand.
"..."
He placed one of his hands on mine after a very long time, and the weight of it came through in my palm.
His hand was visible in sight.
Big masculine hands, long fingers that rested on my hand.
Although I was not used to being in contact with a man I had just met for the first time. However, this scene was included in the orthodox temple salutation ceremony, so it could not be omitted.
He leaned his head against the back of my hand and kissed in there.
To be precise, the moment his lips touched my hand, uncomfortably I pushed his lips slightly.
In my ears, I heard the applause of the nobles celebrating the blessing of the temple.
Oh, how humiliating it is to have to kiss the back of someone's hand in the presence of so many people.
'Why did Ariel want to do this?'
After a while he lifted his head and his eyebrows stiffened.
'Hey. you feel worse.'
For a moment, his red lips lit up.
"you......"
And it was then.
Suddenly my vision flashed and I heard a bang and something exploded. Soon it was filled with people screaming.
