Arthur saw a little girl with long gray hair appear at the top of the stairs.
'woah, so that's the princess, as said she will be a very beautiful woman in the future.' Arthur muttered to himself as he continued to look at the king's daughter.
Suddenly, a sound of footsteps could be heard from behind the princess. Arthur saw a man in his 30s with a crown on his head, starting to walk towards the princess.
"Ladies and gentlemen, because this is a happy day, I thank you all for your presence, especially the dukedoms." The nobles who listened to the man's words, began to answer simultaneously.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!" said the nobles with their heads lowered with their hands on their chests.
Hearing the replies from the nobles, the king just smiled and said.
"Yes, then. Let's get this banquet started." after saying that, several servants appeared and brought food that smelled very good.
Arthur, who felt the smell, started to get hungry, but he held it in. The reason? It was clear because of the man in front of him.
"Hahaha, thank your luck, because it saved you from my blow." said the man in front of him, in a disdainful tone.
Arthur who heard that, just smiled, but it wasn't a smile he could show, but it was something like an evil smile.
"Heh, I didn't intend to hear the words of a barking dog." Hearing Arthur's words, finally the man couldn't hold back any longer and wanted to attack Arthur, but before the attack could hit him, a hand grabbed him and stopped him.
"Enough, Lucas. Don't make a fuss here or we'll be kicked out." Lucas, who saw a tall man in front of him, could only nod.
"g-okay, father. I'm sorry for being controlled by my anger." Hearing his son's apology, the man began to turn towards Arthur with sharp eyes and began to introduce himself.
"My name is James Claus, I am a duke-level nobleman." Arthur, who heard James' words, also started to reply.
"My name is Arthur Leonard. I'm just a baron." Hearing Arthur's answer, James started laughing out loud.
"hahahaha! Turns out he's just a noble of the lowest rank. Hmph! How dare you brag about yourself in front of my son, even the king won't side with you, if I want to destroy your family." Hearing James' words, Arthur didn't show any expression of fear at all and only showed a smile.
"Heh, you can be arrogant for now, but in the future things like this won't happen again." James, seeing Arthur's serious expression, started to sneer at him.
"haha, then, show me in the future, if what you said is true." Immediately after that, James took Lucas away from there.
Currently, the only people left in that place were Arthur and a blonde girl.
Arthur who saw himself alone with her, started to say to her.
"Hi, my name is Arthur Leonard. Nice to meet you." said Arthur with a smile.
The girl in front of him who heard that, started talking to him.
"I am Marie Celestia. Nice to meet you too." Arthur, who heard the reply, just smiled and muttered to himself.
'hmm, looks like I managed to attract his attention, then let's try this.' after thinking about his plan, he started to approach marie and said.
"By the way, aren't you curious why I came here to you?" Marie, who heard Arthur's words, started asking something.
"If it's not to approach me, what else, but I'm really curious about your courage and challenging a duke ranking family, aren't you afraid of your family being destroyed?" Hearing Marie's question, Arthur began to answer seriously.
"Heh, even if they tried, I'm willing to bet that they wouldn't be able to destroy my family!" Seeing Arthur's self-confidence, Marie began to become increasingly curious about his self-confidence.
"haha..., if you just want to say nonsense like that, it's impossible to make me curious." said Marie and laughed softly, Arthur who heard that, just smiled and said to her.
"It doesn't matter if you believe what I say or not, you will eventually see it in the future." After saying that, Arthur started walking away from where Marie was.
Marie, who felt herself alone, began to mutter to herself.
'hmmm, even though I don't believe what he said, but somehow I started to become curious about him, and I remember when he fought with Lucas, it was like he was the one who knocked Lucas out without moving.' After thinking in her heart, Marie continued to stare at Arthur's shoulder for a few seconds and began to disappear from her sight.
"Yeah, looks like it worked," Arthur muttered to himself with a smile on his face.
'Let's try to get to know the princess.' After thinking that, Arthur started walking towards the princess, and saw so many boys aged around 7 years and above, standing around the princess.
Arthur, who saw that, started to come up with a crazy plan.
'Let's help him get out of the crowd, I can see from the annoyed expression on his face, because he was surrounded by the children of the nobles.
Immediately after that, Arthur took out a paper talisman and wore it on both feet.
'Okay, this way I can run very fast, let's do this.' Arthur started running and jumping towards the princess, then grabbed her.
The princess, who felt she was being kidnapped, wanted to scream but because Arthur's movements were too fast, she didn't have time to do so.
The children of the noble families who saw the princess disappear, started screaming.
"T-the princess has disappeared!." The king, who heard that his daughter had disappeared, began ordering many guards to look for her.
"Fuck! I'll make that guy pay for kidnapping my precious daughter!" The king said angrily, which made the nobles around him subconsciously swallow their saliva.
---------------------
At this time, Arthur, who had left the royal palace, began to lower the princess, who was currently looking at him warily.
"Well, calm down, princess. I'm not your enemy." Liliana who heard that, started talking.
"What is your purpose for kidnapping me?" Arthur, who heard Liliana's words, started to say to her.
"Hahaha, calm down. I know that you really hate being surrounded by those nobles, right, that's why I intend to help you get out of there." Liliana, who heard Arthur's words, began to speak calmly.
"Even if it's just to help me, but still no kid your age can move that fast, who are you?" Arthur, who saw Liliana's calm words, began to think to himself.
'Heh, she seems smart too, even though he's only 5 years old, as expected of a king's child, they educate their children properly.' After that, Arthur just answered calmly.
"Well, I'm just a child from a baron family, and my abilities are a secret~." Arthur said to Liliana who was silent.
"I-I wouldn't believe that, it's impossible for a 5 year old child to be able to do something like this, even the children of kings couldn't possibly achieve what you did!" Arthur, who heard Liliana guess his age, just chuckled to himself.
'hahaha, I really didn't expect that he would guess my age even though I was only 2 months apart.' Alex started to say to Liliana seriously.
"Well, it's up to you to believe what you hear or not, after all, someday, you'll find out soon enough." said Arthur while showing a smile.
Liliana, who saw that, started to say to herself.
'Someday huh... Does that mean I will meet him again? If yes then it shouldn't be a problem, but the smile he shows is full of confidence and again... He's very handsome when you look closely. uh, what the hell was I thinking.' Liliana, who was thinking something strange, started shaking her head.
Arthur, who saw that, just chuckled to himself, because his plan was going according to his wishes.
'Yes, since my business here is finished, let's go back inside.' Liliana, who saw Arthur start to walk in, started to follow him.
Arthur, who felt Liliana following from behind, just ignored her.
Liliana, who saw that Arthur didn't care about her, started to approach him beside him and said.
"ah... by the way you haven't introduced yourself, so can you tell me your name?" said Liliana, showing a cute expression.
Arthur, who heard Liliana's words, just chuckled to himself and answered.
"My name is Arthur Leonard, and I'm sure I've told you about my family, right?" Liliana, who heard Arthur's introduction, also didn't remain silent and began to introduce herself once again.
"I am the third princess of the Astrea kingdom, Liliana Astrea. Nice to meet you, Arthur Leonard." said Liliana with her charming smile.
Arthur who saw his expression, also smiled at him.
"Yes, nice to meet you too, Liliana Astrea." Immediately after that, Arthur and Liliana started to go inside again. Which made the surrounding guards startled and approached them.
"Princess, the king is currently looking for you, where have you been all this time." Hearing what the guard said, Liliana started to reply.
"I'm just going outside for a moment, and it's none of your business, right?" Liliana said in a cold tone that made the soldiers frightened and backed away.
"t-then, we will report it to the king, excuse me." Arthur, who saw the guard leaving, started to say to Liliana.
"huh... Are you serious about telling a lie?" Liliana, who heard what Arthur said, started to answer.
"Sigh... actually I'm very annoyed with my father, but after all he is the king here, I can't do anything to him." Arthur who heard that just chuckled and started walking in.
Hearing footsteps, all the nobles who were panicking because of the king's anger began to turn in that direction, and saw the princess with Arthur beside her.
Seeing that, they heaved a sigh of relief.
The king, who saw his daughter entering the room, started to approach her.
"Are you okay, my daughter." Hearing her father's question, Liliana began to reply.
"Yes, father. I was just breathing air outside because there were too many people around me." Hearing his daughter's answer, the king just nodded and started to turn towards Arthur.
"oh, who is this boy, my daughter." Liliana, who heard her father's question again, began to reply.
"Father, this person's name is Arthur Leonard, his family is a nobleman of baron rank. I met him outside the garden and talked to him about several things," the king, who saw his daughter's answer with a smile, began to think in his heart.
'Could it be that he has feelings for this child? If so, then this would be serious, especially since he is only a child from a baron family...' Arthur, who felt all eyes on him, could only mutter to himself.
'Heh, it seems they are starting to envy me because I can be close to the princess. But... It seems the king is starting to dislike me, somehow...' after that, Arthur started talking which made the king come out of his thoughts.
"Then let me begin. I'll excuse myself first." Liliana who heard those words, started to pull Arthur back.
"Wait a minute, you can't just leave like that." The king, who heard his daughter's words, began to widen his eyes.
'Damn, as I thought, he must be starting to like this child...' the king muttered to himself with a gloomy expression.
Arthur, who felt himself being pulled back by Liliana, started whispering to her.
"It seems like your father is starting to dislike me, I'd better leave immediately, rather than get into a lot of trouble." Liliana, who heard that, also started whispering to Arthur.
"Don't worry, as long as I'm here, I can guarantee you'll be fine." Hearing that, Arthur could only nod.
'Fortunately, father and mother did not appear here. otherwise, it would be bad if their faces were known.' Arthur muttered to himself and praised his parents.
'but... It seems like the king doesn't like me for approaching his daughter, is it because I'm just a noble with the lowest caste... It seems so.' Arthur muttered to himself, feeling Liliana take him to the place to eat, Arthur just let him do it.
'At least I can stay away from the king for now.' Immediately after that, Arthur and Liliana ate the food on the long table.
Marie, who was watching from a distance, somehow felt annoyed with Arthur.
'huh, even though he was just talking to me, and now he's getting close to the princess, what a very lucky pre.' Marie muttered to herself and sighed
---------------------
Arthur, who had now finished eating with Liliana, started to separate from her, even though Liliana was reluctant to separate from him, he still had to go.
After Arthur separated from Liliana, he started walking towards his parents, and said.
"mom, dad. I'm back." seeing that their son had returned, his father began to speak.
"Son, do you know what you have done?" Hearing his father's firm words, Alex replied.
"Don't worry, father. I will take care of it myself, so trust your son." Seeing Arthur's serious answer, Aaron could only remain silent and mutter to himself.
'huh, the one you provoke is a duke level noble. But I want to see your actions, especially since you managed to attract the attention of the princess and Duke Celestia's daughter.' Aaron muttered to himself and continued to watch his son.
Ariana, who was near them, also started talking.
"Never mind, just let our son do what he wants, after all he is already friends with Princess Liliana." Arina said and sighed.
'Huh, I didn't expect it, my son actually succeeded in making the king's daughter interested in him...' Ariana muttered to herself, as she continued to stare at Arthur.
"Umm, then I'm sorry, but don't worry, I can handle this all by myself." Arthur said to his parents who were now continuing to look at him.
"Then, let's eat again until the banquet is over." After that, they continued to eat the food on the table.
---------------------
Arthur and his parents, who had now left the palace, because the celebration was over, wanted to go home, but a girl Arthur knew appeared and said.
"Arthur, wait a minute. This is a gift from me to you, a necklace that will save you when a third rank circlet attacks you." Arthur, who saw Liliana giving her a necklace, started to say.
"No, you should be the one wearing it, not me." Hearing Arthur's refusal, Liliana started to get annoyed and immediately put it forcefully around Arthur's neck.
Arthur, who saw that, panicked at first, but knowing that he was fine, he just let Liliana do what she wanted.
"Huh, do you really want to give me a gift?" Liliana, who heard Arthur's words, started to smile back.
"Hehe, just think of this as a temporary farewell gift, besides I don't know when we'll meet again." Arthur, who heard that, started to reply with a slight smile.
"Yes, we will definitely meet again, then I'll go first. See you later, Liliana." Liliana, who heard those words, just waved at the carriage that was already moving.
"See you later, Arthur." Liliana muttered softly and smiled gently.
