episode 731 royal ball (4)
after eating with the royal family, ray returns to the private room.
aether, completely distraught, also returned to its place.
soyoung, who was sitting in the separate room and drinking warm milk, asked.
“what are you going to do now?”
“it’s not just nobles, it’s royalty, too, as the king says.”
“it’s like lowering your tail to the strong.”
he said with a smile, but there was nothing to refute.
after receiving the milk soyoung gave her, ray said.
“so why did you come to the private room by yourself?”
“does the follower need a reason to come to the one who serves?”
“other guys might not know, but you never came alone.”
soyoung nodded in agreement at his words.
“ugh. i did. i’ll see you more often from next time. the reason i came here is to make a report.”
“look.”
i don’t know how long it’s been since i heard a report.
it was obviously after he ordered the heukbang to look into the current situation of the kingdom of celia, so he thought he would soon report it.
ray straightened up and sat down.
“first of all, it is about the black room. i also tried to match the words with hafman, but there was nothing particularly strange about the movement. however, it is not without doubt that those who gradually reveal their power are hiding in the shadows again.”
“you mean you might be plotting something behind your back?”
“yes. once you’ve dipped your toe in the sun, it won’t be long before it’s exposed.”
“i don’t worry about sanggye because only the half is holding tight, but...”
“i think so too. if there is a problem... celia must be the problem.”
she took out several sheets of parchment on the table.
when i glanced at it, there were various medical books and magic books with names of various diseases written on them.
“this?”
when ray asked without hiding his doubts, soyoung explained.
“these are epidemics. do you remember when black magic spread in celia.”
after hearing the words, i remember.
the disease had spread from the outskirts of celia.
it was later revealed that it was a trick of the black room, but it was already too late.
healers joined forces to go out to support each other, and the wizards association took this seriously and sent various supplies.
but is that still going on?
quite a few high-circle mages would have applied, right?
as if recognizing lay’s question, soyoung continued.
“it is difficult to support supplies because of the serious epidemic in the estate of the marquis. in addition, in some areas, traces of magic were found, but the cause could not be eliminated.”
“what about the top?”
“because i can’t go up.”
seeing him shaking his head, the damage seems serious.
“thanks to the epidemic, the hafman merchants are rather earning more, but that will be over soon. shall we ask them to get out of celia before it’s too late?”
if notice is an indispensable element for merchants, action is essential for the upper ranks.
although it was painful to withdraw the main unit, if the decision was not made, it could have suffered a greater loss.
at her words, ray said firmly.
“no. if that happens, you won’t be able to support them.”
“yes?”
“tell harfman to release the relief goods. there will be many patients, so you will need it anywhere.”
“the damage must be enormous.”
“you can’t pretend you didn’t see someone dying just to save a few pennies. you can earn more money, but life ends when it ends.”
as he spoke, he rummaged through his backpack.
what he took out was a piece of stationery that looked luxurious at first glance.
‘what is this?’ said while looking at soyoung.
“it’s an invitation letter from the devon kingdom. even though the king looks like a bandit, he has a human heart, so he will definitely help.”
if it’s the marquis of villede, he’s the leader of the chosen people’s aristocrats.
it was a matter of hurting one’s pride to have a marquis, a high-ranking noble, attend the birthday banquet of not the king but the princess on the first day.
perhaps the marquis beillade, who is rumored to have a high nose, come out to the banquet.
if done wrong, the vassal could overwrite the marquis’ rudeness.
the people around him who knew his circumstances patted him on the shoulder.
“it may not be a big consolation, but... cheer up.”
“...yes.”
“anyway, i’m worried. at this rate, it will be vassal nobles like us who attend on the first day.”
he sent a vassal on his behalf.
if this was an excuse, even the king would not be able to hold him accountable for anything.
of course, when that happens, it becomes them who have to keep an eye on them.
no matter how much the current king is, it would be impossible to purify a large number of high-ranking nobles, so it was quite possible to severely punish the nobles’ vassals instead.
when they gather every day to discuss and sigh deeply.
the preparations for the banquet had come to an end.
* * *
white lanterns float under the cool sunset.
take it as a signal
noisy festivals were held here and there in the streets of the royal capital.
“hahahaha! let’s drink and die today!”
“for the princess’s birthday!”
“for!”
a festival on a much larger scale than usual.
the son-in-law became dark, the guards sanctioned, and the atmosphere was heightened.
the royal castle was filled with nobles.
aristocrats from all over the world, almost equal to the number of servants, gathered and entered the lobby.
among them, the marquis of villede was also seated.
“joy! no matter how much it is the birthday of the royal family, there is no elegance to be found in such ugliness!”
sheer high shoes.
the red off-shoulder dress with prominent shoulders even had an overly flashy feel.
covering her body with jewelry, marquis beelaid waved her hands a few times.
at her beckoning, the young men who came to her side lowered their heads.
“did you call, your excellency, marquis?”
“you guys bring me some food.”
“yes, i understand.”
before long, three or four young men in tailcoats brought food that looked appetizing at first sight.
i’m afraid to carefully put it down on the table.
she picked up the cutlery and began to eat quite elegantly.
munching.
she didn’t put food in her mouth, but it was hard to think of her as an aristocratic woman as she chewed food in her cheeks.
even though it was a look that would naturally raise eyebrows, the complexion of the young people did not know that it would change.
“even the way you eat is beautiful.”
“you are an example of an aristocratic woman.”
“if you learn etiquette from your excellency the marquis, even the princess will be happy.”
it was a story that would have frightened princess oh if she had heard it.
marquis villede smiled at their praise.
the dimples are deeply fanned and the cheeks wobble from the food in the mouth.
even the folds of flesh were slightly visible on the corners of his mouth.
“of course not. but unfortunately, i don’t think so. although she is his majesty’s daughter, she is still an immature child. i don’t think you’ll be able to handle my teaching.”
it’s a law to curse the king in a place where you can’t see it.
even more so, if you are at the head of a kingdom’s chosen aristocrat, no one will say anything even if you curse the emperor.
when she is having a pleasant meal with the young men.
gradually, high-ranking nobles and their vassals began to enter the lobby.
