Ely observed Evelyn for a few moments, then left the vicinity. There was a better time for them to meet.
"..." Evelyn glanced at one of the castle's towers. She felt someone watching her from afar and just left.
Her heart had been restless since this morning, but her current feeling was inexplicable. It made her agitated, and because of that, her mood got complicated.
"You don't want to see her?" Yuuki asked in wonder.
"I will meet her at the evening banquet." Ely shook her head.
Several hours later, the Martial Competition ended, and the top three received a gift from the Emperor. They also received the honor of joining the Imperial Banquet.
Everyone was dressed in their best outfit that night.
That banquet was held because of the newly formed alliance. The leaders from various factions would cooperate regarding the ancient secret realm's exploration.
