18 – Welcome Dinner (2)
“It must be hard for him to make fun of you pretending.”
Lucy was looking towards the table where the king sat.
The King and Queen, the Prince, the Princess, the Duke of Toledo, Joseph, the Duke’s Knight Commander, and Kiera were sitting.
Kiera was shy in her speech and demeanor, like a chaste and innocent woman.
Even when she laughed, she covered her mouth with her hand and smiled softly, and when the king spoke to her, her eyes lit up and she laughed a lot, and at times she was shy.
Lucy, who was starting to get fed up with Kiera’s different behaviors these days, was slightly annoyed by the sight.
‘A warrior only needs to be good at exterminating demons, so why do you keep trying to get into politics?’
Lucy, Yoris, and Natalie had originally been there, but when people started talking about boring things, they made excuses and left one by one.
“I’m leaving.”
Lucy, who hadn’t looked good throughout the dinner, stood up and Lloris looked up.
“Already? The dinner isn’t over yet.”
“It is difficult to sit. I want to go to my room and rest.”
Natalie, who was sitting next to her, snorted.
“You are a child to leave these delicious drinks behind.”
With her muscular body, she was already drunk.
“child? Can you cast a sleep spell so you can’t drink?”
“Your snout will be ripped off before I can chant the spell.”
“No luck.”
Lucy left the dinner hall with the last words.
“I guess Lucy wasn’t having fun.”
“Wizards themselves are not fun in themselves. They are idiots who boast about their knowledge and cannot get along with others because they are trapped in their own world.”
Natalie took a larger-than-normal glass and drank it all in one go.
“Kaha~ This country tastes good. It would be perfect if only a cool boy sat next to me.”
“Natalie.”
“yes?”
Lloris gestured at the floor standing in the distance with his chin.
“How did it happen?”
“what?”
“How did an incompetent porter who had nothing to live in the royal family of Basilite and what did he do to rise to a high position?”
“I don’t know. If that bastard pretends to know, he’ll break his head. Hiccup. get drunk.”
“It’s my brain, but I wonder if he stole the loot when he was with us?”
Lloris smiled with his mouth, and his eyes shone coolly.
“Otherwise it is impossible to explain.”
“You said you were scammed?”
“Are you going to say that the money you stole a penny has turned into a huge amount, and you bought a government office with that money?”
“I don’t think I’ve ever seen it stolen?”
“Would you have stole it to find out? You have to take it away like a ghost.”
“Haha, you bastard.”
Natalie held her stomach and laughed out loud.
***
Natalie’s laugh, like a man’s, could be heard through the noisy hall and reached the floor.
It sounds like you are talking about something interesting.
Maru, who was standing in a crowd of people, ignored the sound and looked around.
‘It’s still going smoothly.’
I looked at the table where the king was sitting.
“Cheolkeol, since our princess has a good understanding of the economy and trade, let’s promote official trade with the Toledo family after the eastern expedition is over.”
“Thank you for the positive review, Your Highness. And thank you to the princess for giving me a good opinion.”
The King and the Duke of Toledo looked good.
Next, I looked to the side and saw that Edward and Joseph were fighting each other for some reason.
“A man named Han Maru insulted me during the day. Hurry up and punish me!”
“Punishing Lord Maru is no different from punishing me! When I say nice things, stop talking and be polite!”
Both of them were young, so the drinking party was full of blood.
“You look like you can’t even drink more than me!”
“You say I can’t drink? Where would you like to try it with me?”
“Let’s do it!”
to the point of objecting to each other.
The two of them were serious, but it was a sight that somehow made people laugh.
Maru muttered to himself while looking around the entire hall.
“Good good.”
It was rewarding to see everyone having fun on the stage I worked hard to create.
How hard I’ve been trying to sleep for the past few weeks to prepare for this event…
I worked so hard that I didn’t want to go back to that time.
“I am tired.”
When I turned my neck in pain, I heard a creaking sound.
After standing around worrying about this and that all day, he has no energy to enjoy dinner.
As soon as I lay down on the bed, I felt like I would fall asleep.
In the first place, the king invited them to join the table, but he himself refused.
I feel uncomfortable because of someone.
I just took the excuse that I wanted to do more work while managing the banquet hall.
I did…
Why does he keep glancing at me, uncomfortably?
Every time I walk around the banquet hall, I keep feeling Kiera’s gaze.
I still glance at you again.
Do you want to exchange glances?
The moment our eyes meet, I feel like I’ll get up from my seat and walk away.
hate.
It is an absolute specification here.
I didn’t want to waste my emotions with the person I broke up with.
‘You live as you are. I’ll live my life Rest assured that I have no intention of retaliation for the past while staying here. I’ll treat you well, so stay quiet. Stop staring.’
Maru repeated those words inwardly and smoked a different voice without making eye contact.
No matter how urgent it was, he sent someone instead and did not come near Kiera.
The old-fashioned classical melody that flowed in the banquet hall disappeared and everyone’s eyes were focused on the center.
“Everyone, it’s time to dance!”
As soon as someone shouted, bright and upbeat music started playing.
Adventurers and noble men and women who participated in the expedition held hands and danced in the center.
Their dancing was lively, like the upbeat music.
Soon after, Kiera, led by the hand of a man named Joseph, came out and danced.
The two of them stepped on the steps lightly and gracefully, keeping their bodies close to each other.
But strangely, it was only a distance of less than 2 meters from where Maru stood.
In an instant, in front of Maru’s eyes, Kiera’s upper body, wrapped around Yosef’s arm, was completely bent back.
Her hair and breasts flowed downward against gravity, and Kiera looked upside down at the floor.
“… … ”
Maru inadvertently met her eyes.
Kiera was expressionless, but seemed to be provoking.
‘I’m dancing in the arms of another man.’
‘Are you mad? Come to me when you’re angry.’
‘I can show you more than this. keep in mind It’ll be difficult if I’m late to talk.’
Her eyes were saying that.
Kiera lifted her upper body back up and spun around with Joseph.
To others, the movements seemed natural.
However, Maru’s impression was different.
Now it seemed that Yosef was being used by Kiera.
To provoke me, Hanmaru.
Previously, when Maru was at a warrior party, when Kiera danced with noble men, he did not come to Maru.
But today, it was too openly out of sight.
Moreover, she did not hesitate to engage in intense skinship, which she did not do when dancing with men.
To some extent, the people who watch it say, ‘Oh! I was surprised to say, “Can I do that?”
Like Joseph gently sweeping Kiera’s thigh up to the dangerous part, or Kiera gently putting her hand on the center of Joseph’s pants and then removing them.
Why are you like that today?
‘Fuck. Anyway, that bitch is as fuckable then as it is now.’
I tried not to be agitated, but I became agitated because of the visual stimulation.
In the end, he got caught up in Kiera’s intentions.
I don’t feel jealous.
It’s definitely over with Keira.
However, it was bittersweet to think of Kiera’s innocent days and the things she had known since those painful days.
Is it the feelings of a father who looks at his daughter if he is forced to do so?
‘I gave away my liver and gallbladder to raise her, so she fell asleep after filming porn with a boy.’
It was complicated.
I didn’t force you to do that.
I didn’t want to see it anymore, so I was about to move my seat.
Suddenly, something sharp hit my back.
“Stay still. Stay still if you don’t want to be stabbed.”
A woman’s voice, imitating a man’s voice, was heard from behind.
Maru raised both hands as if he would not resist.
“Who are you?”
“This body is an assassin who specializes in hunting only bad manners. Are you afraid?”
“Yes, a little.”
“If you want to live, go to the princess right away and politely ask for a dance.”
“What if you don’t like it?”
“Put your nose in the dish and die.”
“It is terrible. I’ll go see the princess soon. By the way.”
Maru looked back and smiled.
“Are you here?”
Audrit, dressed in a beautiful dress, waved the fork in her hand.
I must have been a bit drunk, so my cheeks were flushed red.
Her skin was flawlessly clear and white, so even a slight reddening would reveal everything.
“What are you doing here boring?”
“I am working.”
“So why are you working carelessly when everyone is eating, drinking and playing? Don’t do that, dance with me. I am curious about your dancing skills.”
Her bright smile is full of anticipation.
“Do you like guys who can dance well?”
“If you dance well, you’re cool.”
“If you can’t dance, will you play?”
“It’s a loss. If you can’t, I’ll lead you. Just follow me.”
“That is a good attitude. then… ”
Maru didn’t want to be in the spotlight in front of others, but when he thought of Kiera, he couldn’t stay still.
This time it was his turn to provoke.
“Shall we go?”
“yes.”
My body was on fire.
I wonder if I was anxious to dance.
Dance skills that he had never shown when traveling with the warriors.
It was once cut so sexy that the ladies of the aristocrats liked it and wanted to die, and even the queen of a certain kingdom dissuaded her from doing it because it was embarrassing.
Shall we shake it as hard as we can to make the princess fall in love?
***
The moment Maru started dancing with Audrit.
The door to Maru, which had been closed for a long time, opened quietly.
“Kuk-kuk… ”
Lucy went inside with a mischievous smile and closed the door.
The interior was silent and dark.
She lit the light with her magic and looked around the room.
Like a guy who had been a porter for a long time, the room was well-organized.
“Mut dog, even if I wanted to talk to you, I couldn’t even die because of my pride, so I decided to use another method.”
Lucy took out a green, gooey object from her bosom.
“I’ll take solace in peeping at you.”
her eyes shone sinisterly.
When I went to the mirror and spread the green object on it, a light flashed and the object was absorbed by the mirror.
“I’m going to dig up information on how you succeeded and find out what you think of me and our colleagues now. I look forward to a fun drama.”
Lucy waved her hand brightly at the mirror and left the room.
clap.
As soon as the door closed, silence began to flow in the room again.
“Whoops… A shameful thing.”
Suddenly, black smoke rose from the curtains, and Luciella appeared.
“To do something that harms my master casually.”
Luciella reached for the mirror and reached out.
As she murmured softly, a green gooey object was forcibly pulled out of the mirror and covered her hand.
Soon after, it burned and turned to ashes.
“So what did I say? They said they would hurt Na-ri again. Why did you refuse to leave this place without meeting me?”
Luciella stared at her smoldering hands and licked her upper lip.
“Are you just going to stand by the sidelines? like. If you don’t, then I’ll step in. First of all, I’ll deal with that girl who has the same name as me. I will corrupt you to be loyal to you with the succubus training method. very very… ”
He grinned, showing his fangs.
“It will be fun.”
After a while, only evil laughter echoed in the room she left.
Oh right, Lucy and Luciella lmao 🤣
