No way, I never thought that I would go to an evening party in another country, but this is also because I want to return to Alice as soon as possible. it can not be helped.
This time Rinse escorted the second princess, Cynthia-sama, and the prince escorted the first princess, Manaria-sama. And I came alone Among the many pairs, it would not be nice to be alone, but I have absolutely no intention of accompanying a woman other than Alice. Rather, I don't want to expose Alice at the evening party, but since I'm a noble there, I have no choice but to make concessions.
"Everyone, thank you for gathering. Tonight is a special night, because my sister, the second princess, Cynthia Salvare, is engaged to the second prince of the neighboring kingdom of Landry, Rinse Landry. I tied it!"
Oh, there's a big round of applause. As a greeting, Rinse and Cynthia came forward and tried to talk, but she smiled at the shy Cynthia and Rinse opened his mouth.
"Nice to meet you all. I am Rinse Landry, the second prince of the Landry Kingdom. I am engaged to Cynthia-sama, the second princess of the Salvare Kingdom, but this is just the beginning. My friend. Said before, "Marriage is not the goal. It's the starting line."I think you're right.In the future, Cynthia-sama and I will face various trials, but I won't lose. Let's make Cynthia-sama happy."
Cynthia's face turned bright red at Rinse's speech. She already thinks that he's into a shame play or a devil, but after that she naturally progresses. Seeing that the two of them became the main ones and began to greet each other, I also moved into action. First, I casually greet some nobles and see how things are going. There are quite a few people, but you don't have to talk to everyone. I'll talk to you after looking into it.
After several people, I finally found my favorite, so I greeted him.
"Nice to meet you, Count Fredette."
"Excuse me, but who are you?"
"My name is Arth Lost of Viscount Lost of the Kingdom of Laundry."
"Laundry Kingdom... Are you with Rinse-sama?"
"Yes, it will be. Should I call it an escort?"
When I said that to the person who was on guard, he relaxed and said, as if he was a little relieved.
"Is it okay if I don't stay by Rinse-sama's side?"
"Yes, there is someone stronger than me, so don't worry. More importantly, I heard that Earl Fredette recently started a new business."
A man who was startled by those words. He managed to cover it up by saying that he thought he was too easy to understand and that he was unsuitable for the nobility.
"Unfortunately, it's a trade secret. Trust is our motto."
"That's a pity. Oh yeah, we can't leave this party tonight, but did Earl Fredette come alone?"
"Yes, I left my wife behind."
"Hou, come to think of it, I heard that Earl Fredette has a mistress, did you not bring her?"
"Then what?"
He's getting irritated by my persistent questions, so I told him to spur it on.
"What a terrible man. To leave your wife and mistress and come to an evening party."
"It doesn't matter"
"No, it does matter. But I'm here to give you a little warning."
"Warning?"
"Yeah, if you have even a little bit of conscience for your family left in your heart, you should withdraw as soon as possible."
"...What are you talking about?"
I just smiled and said to the foolish man.
"You don't understand, do you? If you can think of something, pull out as soon as possible. If you can't do it, your life may come to an end today."
"Nonsense. What kind of nonsense is that?"
"If you really think so, I don't mind."
When I said that not a single drop had decreased, the man clearly glared at me and said,
"What if"
"Rumor has it that Earl Fredette is very picky about alcohol."
"Well, you don't drink like that, do you?"
"It's an escort. If you really have to, let's drink."
When I get a bottle of wine from a nearby waitress, I drink it all at once. After returning the glass, I smiled and said,
"Are you satisfied with this?"
"What do you want?"
"Do you notice?"
"I don't know"
After saying that, he finally spoke to his back, who was about to stand up.
"You have no regrets?"
There was no reply, but after confirming it on my back, I let out a sigh. This is the result of trying to persuade him without pattern, so I guess I'm pretty bad at talking. When I glanced at it, Rinse and Cynthia-sama were talking to other nobles nearby, and Rinse nodded when our eyes met.
That's all, it's like telling me to leave this place to you, so I will finally turn my gaze to His Majesty Salvare and confirm it before leaving this place. Ahead is the battlefield. It's a competition to see how quickly this matter can be cleared up and returned to this place. It's tough, but I want to get back to Alice as soon as possible, so I'll do my best.
