Chapter 43

43 – Banquet (3)

‘… It’s not because of my father. He has no choice but to do it because of the people and his brothers.’

Veronica thought so and approached the Seven Lords.

At first, he thought that even if he died, he would not obey his father’s words.

If you even marry someone who has designated you, your life is really just a puppet of a puppet.

However, it was just the sound of being full.

The Langkovite kingdom was facing a bigger crisis than expected.

The iron resource, which was the main source of income, was gradually drying up, and the national treasury was gradually decreasing, so it was not known that sooner or later it would go bankrupt.

‘… I have to break face with the Seven Lords.’

If you can’t make contact with him this time, and if you can’t get the marriage contract done, the destruction of the kingdom is inevitable.

Because of this, Veronica was willing to sacrifice her body.

Because it was the last chance for him to shine like a jewel and the only way to apologize to his brothers and the people.

Of course, there were other reasons as well.

‘… He seems like a decent person.’

7 Lords, he was more interesting and wonderful than he thought.

-Enough, overlord.

-Overlord, I think I was the main character of this banquet. Isn’t this an act of taking away all the attention that was focused on me?

Earlier, in a desperate situation, he rebelled against the sky-like overlord.

He couldn’t even resist the king’s order, and he was in stark contrast to his life as a puppet.

Maybe that’s why, Veronica began to wonder very much about the Seven Lords, who could easily do what he couldn’t do.

“Everyone, are you doing well?”

“Yes, I think you will have to work hard too.”

“What does that mean?”

“Oh. Didn’t you mean anything?”

The two princesses, excluding Veronica, started fighting with smiles on their faces.

An invisible battle to occupy a man has begun.

The three arrived at the same time in front of the 7 lords.

“Is there something wrong with me?”

He opened his mouth calmly.

As if waiting for this, Charlotte, the 5th princess of the Argon Kingdom, gently lifted her skirt and greeted her politely.

“Nice to meet you. 7 Lord. It’s an honor to meet you like this. My name is Moriana Charlotte, the 5th princess of the Argon Kingdom. She should have greeted her with His Majesty. I am so sorry that I have to greet you alone like this because of the unfortunate incident earlier.”

7 The monarch nodded appropriately and opened his mouth.

“It’s Argon Kingdom, so I’ve never visited it, but I think I’ve heard that seasonings and spices are excellent. Princess Moriana. Nice to meet you like this.”

The three princesses, who were watching the scene, looked at the 7 lords as if they were surprised.

To be honest, I didn’t expect such a favorable response.

It was because he was blunt and arrogant, as is usually the case with monarchs.

But, to see such a gentle reaction.

He was a more polite man than they thought.

“I’m sorry to hear that you know the main specialties of our kingdom. As the lord said, our kingdom is famous for seasonings and spices. However, the alcoholic beverages are also quite famous, and the wines in this banquet hall are all airlifted directly from our country. I don’t know if it will suit your taste.”

Charlotte continued her words with a bright smile.

“Okay. I didn’t even know there. She learned one more thing thanks to the princess.”

He smiles, revealing his white dry teeth.

Instead, Charlotte’s face turned red.

A ‘lord’ who is higher than a king, making a smile only for himself.

He felt like he had been chosen from heaven.

‘Wait, what are you thinking? Wake up, Charlotte!’

She pinched her thighs with a flushed face.

What is she going to do if she falls for herself?

She almost fell for his cool smile.

I’m going to plant again, and I’m going to seduce the 7 lords!

She thought so and opened her mouth.

“Oops… Are you even humble to the monarch? I didn’t know the story would work this well. By any chance, if you get a chance next time, we’ll treat you to a meal in our kingdom… “

“Seven Lords, I am happy to meet you like this. I am Romerto Isabella, the second princess of the Kingdom of Sardinia.”

Then, Isabella intercepted Charlotte’s words.

She stared at me with squinting eyes.

‘What is this?!’

“Nice to meet you, Princess Romerto. The Kingdom of Sardinia is a kingdom known for its deep craftsmanship. Our 7 Lords Castle is also full of artisans from Sardinia.”

“You know that… You’re great too! Are you interested in art? Collecting beautiful statues is also my hobby. This time… “

“If you’ll excuse me, what kind of food does the monarch like?”

Charlotte interrupts.

Isabella’s eyebrows furrowed.

Like it or not, the 7 Lords answer the question.

“I mostly enjoy eating meat. One of the escort knights really likes it.”

“Oh my gosh, are you eating meat because of the escort driver? How can you be so delicate… “

“What kind of hobbies does the monarch usually do?”

Cheer.

Charlotte glared at Isabella.

She kept interrupting me from earlier, but I couldn’t stand it any longer.

“Wait a minute. Princess Isabella? Maybe you don’t know that I’m talking to the lord right now.”

“Is that so? But, I am the same, so what?”

“Could you wait for your turn? I want to introduce more about our kingdom to the Seven Lords.”

“How about introducing the kingdom next time with His Majesty the King? Personally, I would like to have a high-level talk with the monarch about mastery of the arts.”

“… Does that mean that the talk about the Kingdom is low-level?”

“Oh, did you hear that? I didn’t mean to say that.”

The two stared at each other.

If this was a scene from an anime.

Pababak.

There must have been sparks flying out of his eyes.

‘… Really, what are they doing?’

Veronica, who was watching this scene from the side, looked at the 7 Lords.

By any chance, it would be difficult if he avoided the seat because of the two of them.

Fortunately, however, he doesn’t seem to be interested, only sipping wine.

I can’t just keep watching.

You have to be brave.

I can’t be pushed back by the kingdom of Argon.

She thought so and opened her mouth.

“Seven Lords, nice to meet you. I am Veronica, the 4th princess of the Langkovite Kingdom.”

“Nice to meet you, 4 princesses. If it is the Kingdom of Langkovite, it is a country with the highest military power after the Bizanderk Empire. Since iron is the main production industry, I know that swordsmithing and blacksmiths are also famous.

Veronica let out a brief exclamation.

How can a person like a monarch grasp all the main characteristics of the three countries?

Even among nobles, most of them do not know the characteristics of other countries except their own.

“You are familiar with the characteristics of each country… ?”

“Because it’s basic common sense.”

“I see, that… “

Veronica slurred her words and fell into her troubles.

‘… Wait for a sec! What do I say next?’

I tried to talk to her before she was motivated.

She came to think of it, she herself didn’t have much experience talking to men.

“That… “

What should I say?

Veronica quickly searched her memory. She

For this day, she read more than 10 of her books on how to get a crush on the opposite s*x.

I remembered, obviously!

“Caring, reacting, praising, listening.”

“Yes?”

“!”

Veronica grabbed her hair.

‘You fool—!’

What the hell are you talking about if you spit it out of your mouth?

It’s ruined. She is ruined

“Where are you sick?”

“No… !”

“Then why are you doing that?”

Veronica wanted to hide in her mouse hole.

Of course, to make such a mistake in front of the monarch.

‘No, don’t give up. Because the 7th Lord is a gentle person. I’m sure they’ll understand!’

I had to catch her mentally.

If you retreat like this, the kingdom is over.

So she decided to use the regular method.

“… Shi, I know it’s rude, but can we talk for a moment?”

“Conversation?”

As if the 7 Lords were worried, they looked at the two fighting princesses.

The more she did, the more Veronica’s throat burned.

“Well, I think it will be possible in a moment.”

“Really?!”

“!”

Everyone present widened their eyes at his words.

‘That way… ?!’

‘They’re trying to intercept Langkovit again!’

“Then, it was a pleasure talking to you two.”

Saying so, the 7th monarch leaves with Veronica.

The two looked at the back with empty eyes.

‘I finally escaped.’

Tsk, I clicked my tongue and moved to the rest area provided separately for the monarchs.

From noble mtl dot com

I wanted to show a good side of myself to the princesses who I had always only seen in games.

Why don’t men have that kind of fantasy?

It’s a bit vulgar, but something like that with the princess. That is to say

Just in case, I don’t know if I’ll be sitting in this world, but I decided that there’s nothing bad about it because I’ve done the crushing work in advance.

The princesses are fighting each other.

It was completely different from the pure image I knew.

Those two are eliminated.

“Please feel free to talk. If it is here, no one else will come.”

I looked at Veronica, who was taking a sip of her tea.

Thanks to her, she was able to get away from her two noisy people earlier.

“Thank you for the favor. Lord.”

“No. If you have something you want to say, do it.”

“… ….”

Veronica made a hesitant expression on her face, as if she was thinking about something, and then she carefully opened her mouth.

“… Seven Lords, would you like to be betrothed to me?”

“Okay.”
