33 – Dinner Party

On the day of the dinner party.

The crowd that filled the outer wall of the princess’s palace is pushed back by the guards. Selene, who was riding in the carriage, clicked her tongue slightly as she watched the crowd through the window.

“If I had come just in time, I would have been late.”

It is lunch time now.

The time for the dinner party is 6:00 PM, but it is polite to arrive early for invitations from the royal family.

Haven’t the other contestants already arrived?

Sias’s carriage, Jeanne’s carriage, etc. They are in a carriage because they had to teleport to the capital city and then walk to the imperial palace for ritual reasons.

Wagons being inspected in front of the gate.

‘Moonlight.’

Selene looked for the moonlight on the way in, but the helmet boy was nowhere to be seen.

‘…… Will you come a little later?’

Selene sighed as she looked at the gift wrapping in her hand.

“Don’t worry too much, little lady.”

The smiling, teleportation wizard Robert.

A secretary who mainly serves Selene. He has been watching Selene since she was a child.

“Huh~ A man who stole that little lady’s heart. Time flies.”

From noble mtl dot com

At Robert’s words, Selene felt ashamed.

That you stole her heart, you just have a crush. Because she helped a lot!

Selene scolded Robert for thinking that way.

“Robert, stop talking nonsense. Because I just want to repay Moonlight. More than that, is this present really good for you?”

Selene held up the gift wrapping.

There is a light blue handkerchief inside the gift wrapping. A slightly embarrassing gift with Selene’s initials S.L.N engraved on it. It was prepared on the recommendation of Robert.

“That’s enough! The person named Moongwang didn’t seem interested in dressing up at all.”

“But the handkerchief seems to be given to the knight by the young lady…….”

“Isn’t that right?”

Selene’s face turned red.

Selenera, who is interested in romance novels, came naturally to this kind of imagination.

“Also, when you smell the scent on the handkerchief, you feel comfortable with the herbal scent magic. Say it’s good when you meditate. I will not refuse.”

‘It would be nice then.’

She keeps feeling anxious.

What if Wolgwang refuses the gift?

If you hate her handkerchief.

Selene is frozen in place and she won’t be able to do anything.

“Have courage, little lady! Didn’t she tell him too? Have courage.”

“…… Yes.”

“The little lady is the most attractive person in the world, so she will do just fine.”

Robert’s guarantees, frankly, though, as they do to his nieces, feel out of hand.

Like Moongwang said when dealing with Changsoo.

Having courage comes to mind.

“Okay.”

Selene squeezed the wrapping paper of her gift.

In the third princess’s palace, attendants were busy serving customers.

Participants who arrived under the guidance of the attendants are called into the parlor, and first they are guided to the third princess, Cornelia.

Sitting on a chair in the drawing room, Cornelia greeted the quarterfinalists with a smile on her face.

“Welcome, Sir Izan.”

“I’m sorry. Princess Cornelia Innin Ishtar.”

A gray-haired man in a black suit got down on one knee.

Izan, the wandering swordsman.

He was one of the strong candidates for the championship of Humbaba Central Conference, and he is famous as a thief hunter.

By stealing money from thieves and stealing bounties.

She’s definitely a strong swordsman, and it’s a beneficial time for her to meet him… Cornelia was impatient.

‘Has Moonlight Ball not arrived yet?’

Cornelia winked at Rose imperceptibly. Rose shook her head slightly. Cornelia has leaked steam.

Most of the participants have already come.

A total of 7 people were originally supposed to come.

There was one spy from a heretical country among the 8 finalists, so there were 7 people excluding him.

“If there is a place you want to visit, look around and relax.”

There are 5 participants in the drawing room.

Creator’s Disciple Sias, Wandering Swordsman Izan, Selene Innin Gramberge, Sword Saint’s Disciple Jeanne, Anonymous Participant Mars.

“Oh, I don’t know if it’s not too late!”

And now the sixth participant has arrived.

Cornelia’s anticipation rose, then withered as she looked at the contestant’s face.

“I am the 1st princess of Badtivira, an ally of the Empire! Quarterfinalists Seri Innin Eridug is entering!”

The guard shouted.

Soon a light-brown haired woman called Seri came scurrying through her door.

She lifted up the skirt of her dress with both hands and put on an embarrassed expression.

She is the 1st princess of the small country of Badtibira, an ally of the Empire.

“Welcome, princess tax collector.”

“It is an honor to meet you, poor princess!”

When Cornelia called her name, Se-ri straightened her complexion and bent her back. She lacks the dignity to be the number 1 princess of a country.

Bad Tivira itself is a naive country, and even the first princess did not observe great ostentation. It’s just that this is an empire, so you have to follow the rules.

Cornelia let out a sigh to hide her identity.

When will the person who is waiting come?

Cornelia checked the luxurious alarm clock on her wall.

Current time 2:35 PM.

It is standard for imperial events to be seated at least two hours in advance.

There was still 1 hour and 25 minutes left, but Cornelia felt uneasy.

‘I wonder if he won’t come.’

In that case, it will be a really sweet dinner party.

I have a lot to say when I see my benefactor.

Cornelia only looked at the poor watch.

5X gravity chamber.

I was able to use the 5x gravity chamber after reaching D in strength, stamina and agility.

Gravity that puts strong pressure on the body.

I’m doing the basic cut, and I’m reaching the best stimulation.

One step, another step.

It gradually walks towards me who is far away. At the end of these small steps, the me of my previous life will be there. In order to reach the level of the previous life, I sincerely step forward in this moment.

‘Twenty thousand and one… Twenty-three thousand…….’

My muscles screamed. A familiar, pleasant pain. I just used my physical abilities and slowly thrust out my sword.

How much time has passed?

The time indicates 2:35 PM.

‘It’s not enough yet.’

Let’s add 30 minutes.

I only had to arrive by 4pm for the dinner party, so I raised my sword again.

Soon my whole body trembled and reached the maximum level of stimulation. His whole body was covered with sweat and his skin was red.

“Whoa.”

I was satisfied today too.

Kneading my body with magical powers, I disguised myself as moonlight in the dormitory after taking a shower.

The time is 3:25 PM.

It’s tight, but the imperial palace knows her geography well, having been to her previous lives.

I injected magic into the teleportation scroll I bought in advance.

The teleportation magic is activated.

Paaa!

I was enveloped in light and arrived at Erek, the capital.

A space with hatched lines on the floor like a wagon parking lot.

Lights are bursting here and there, and people who have teleported like me are going outside.

『The teleportation platform.』

Because it is not allowed to fall right into the capital, according to imperial law, teleportation to the capital must fall on the teleportation platform. Was the imperial castle north of here?

As I came out thinking about the direction, I could feel the eyes staring at me.

“On the helmet…… Leather clothes?”

“Isn’t that moonlight?”

Men holding crystal balls and video recorders.

These are newspaper reporters.

They jumped at me lifting crystal balls.

“Whoa, moonlight! Are you going to be interviewed for a while!?”

‘It’s annoying.’

I came to the capital just in time to save time.

I don’t have time to deal with them.

I imitated 『Steps Opening the Darkness』.

The scenery changes quickly. A step taken a long distance. His legs were strained, but he controlled them with magic and headed for the princess’s palace.

“Moonlight!? Now, wait a minute. Do you have any answers to Shias-sama’s declaration of war!?”

Every time I landed, a reporter or an official from the Knights came talking to me.

Pot!

Of course, I ignore it and keep walking.

When they finally arrived in front of the princess’s palace, the guards opened their eyes wide.

“Uh…… ? Appeared suddenly…….”

It will look as if I have suddenly appeared in front of you.

I spat out calmly.

“Moonlight. I’m here for a dinner party, so open the door.”

The guards trembled and hurriedly turned their heads toward the princess’s palace.

A light flashes from the side of the princess’s palace.

Exchanging signals with someone. This magic wave belonged to the female knight who was with her when she saved the princess.

The guards opened the door in amazement.

“Woo, welcome! Moonlight!!”

“Wolgwang is so good that he comes last.”

Izan, a wandering swordsman, sipped wine and gave a small smirk.

He didn’t like the moonlight.

Seeing that he is using an anonymous name, he seems to be a commoner like himself, but he hasn’t revealed himself yet.

Izan grabbed her wine glass.

There are many standing tables in the parlor. Except for Sias and Mars, everyone seems to be enjoying refreshments or wine. The feel of a pre-dinner appetizer.

‘Looks like Sias is preparing for sparring.’

Izan also read the official letter from Sias. An official letter of challenge to Wol-gwang. Izan didn’t even like that.

“What the hell is moonlight?”

Isn’t it just that you shined in the round of 16? Prior to the Central Congress of Humbaba, the name Moonlight had not even been heard. It seems to be going one way, but even so, it’s a rookie. The excessive attention made Ezan jealous.

“I guess I’ll have to keep my spirits down during this dinner party.”

If you are a rookie, you should have a humble appearance like a rookie. If you don’t know this, I should tell you as a senior. Izan laughed coldly. She then looked away, and for some reason she saw a girl with blue hair staring at her like she was going to kill her.

It must have been the daughter of Gramberge… To be honest, I didn’t pay attention to the sloppy way of wielding the sword. Izan shyly lowered her head and looked away from her.

Anyway, Gramberg is the leader of the North. There is nothing good outside of snow.
