Adele was the first to notice the strangeness.
After scanning the surroundings with calm eyes, he sneaked closer to Shien.
“Shin. Something is strange.”
“yes?”
“Those who were in charge of the outside are a little bit nervous, but they look nervous.”
At those words, Shien suddenly had an ominous thought.
Could it be that Etria, that woman has a strange plan? Called.
However, that thought soon disappeared from Shien’s head.
In any case, Etria was also a woman who was naturally an aristocrat of the Empire.
If that aristocrat treats the nobles carelessly, his position will also drop.
What he was thinking was also nonsense.
If so, there is only one reason for this fuss.
Either inside or outside Fiore, something went wrong.
“What happened?”
“I don’t know exactly, but it seems like an external problem.”
“Why?”
“If it is an internal problem, the priority is to protect the surroundings of important people. However, there is no one by the side of the Fiore family coming over there. Rather, there are many more who have disappeared.”
Hearing that, Shien had a hunch what had happened.
It’s exhilarating, but at the same time, it’s inevitably worrying.
It was that a demonic scene had occurred in Fiore’s estate.
Fiore, which is nowhere else, is moving like this?
No matter how bad it was, it meant that it was level 3 or higher.
“… .”
Shien sipped his glass for a while and looked at Etria’s reaction.
The same look as before disappearing somewhere, and the same smile.
But somehow, I feel a change. Clearly there is something else.
Before long, the difference is the other person’s breathing, and the tightness of their muscles.
It was Shien who looked after it with the discernment that a person who handles a sword should have.

Meanwhile, Etria was busy running around the banquet hall.
In the eyes of others, as the owner, he is welcoming guests.
In the eyes of Sien, who grasped the general situation, it was nothing more than a management of public sentiment.
To have people who will believe in you on such an important day as today.
No matter how shaken it is, if there are a few who are firm, they can seize the atmosphere.
It was clear that some sort of work had been done before giving the bad news.
“everyone. Can everyone pay attention for a moment?”
Did he finally decide that he had finished all the work to be done at the banquet hall?
Etria lightly rang the bell a few times and went up to the second floor to take a seat.
“First of all, I would like to express my gratitude to those who came to this glorious place today. To the reliable allies of the west and also to the Lichtenau family from the far north. Everyone in Fiore has prepared a lot to show you the best of the best. If there was something lacking, I hope you will be generous.”
“No, Lord Fiore.”
“It’s a nice enough and enjoyable banquet. ha ha ha.”
The nobles smiled and waved their hands.
It was true that that wasn’t Etria’s sincerity, and that there was nothing lacking in it.
Befitting a renowned swordsmanship family in the northwest, befitting a powerful aristocratic family, it was a great enough banquet.
“But now, something very difficult has happened. Perhaps the heavens are jealous of such a place of joy, and a report has come in that a demonic scene has occurred in the near future.”
At Etria’s words, the nobles’ expressions instantly hardened.
The word “a place not far away” seems to have stimulated their worries and fears.
However, they immediately released their hardened faces.
What kind of place is Fiore? It is a famous swordsmanship of the empire, standing shoulder to shoulder with Lichtenau.
As far as the west is concerned, it is considered greater than Lichtenauer.
The level of the knights is not lacking anywhere.
Did you say that they were right below the Imperial Knights, or almost at the same level?
Not too long ago, he was even directly congratulated by the imperial family for successfully subjugating the Demon King.
To that extent, Fiore’s military force could be said to be overwhelming.
It will be fine, nothing will happen.
Isn’t Fiore a much stronger place than they are?
No matter how much the demonic realm appeared, no matter how strong the demonic beasts were.
In the end, everyone will fall in front of the swords of the knights.
The nobles thought so.
“As a result of the check, it has been determined to be a Level 2 Demonic View.”
But the moment those words came out of Etria’s mouth.
The aristocrats who had maintained their composure a moment ago were taken aback.
It was more serious than they expected.
buzzing voices-.
The nobles gathered in the banquet hall immediately became noisy.
No matter how much you are in Fiore, you can’t be relieved.
Is the second-class Demonic Land called Hell for nothing?
It is a heinous abyss that even the Imperial Knights struggled with in the past.
It is a place where you can only subdue them if you prepare for great damage.
“However, everyone. Our Fiore knights have already headed there. And I will head there too. We will see you here again after a glorious victory there.”
At Etria’s confident words, the whispers subsided a little.
If the owner of any ordinary aristocratic family had said something like that, it would have been considered nonsense.
However, the opponent is none other than the head of Fiore, the owner of the famous swordsmanship family in the northwest.
Doesn’t he show a more serious side than the emperor when discussing it as a sword?
If they say they will definitely win, they will do so even at the risk of their lives.
At least the surrounding nobles who have been with Fiore for a long time know it well.
“You will be worried. No wonder. However, I would like to ask you a favor. please wait for me here If only you would wait for one day at Fiore’s castle with faith in victory. Something more auspicious than today will greet you.”
A very sudden proposal flowed from Etria’s mouth.
The nobles let out a sigh in unison, unable to hide their embarrassment.
“Still, it’s a second-class demon… Shouldn’t we go somewhere safe now?”
“Where are you? Honestly, what could be safer than the nature of Fiore?”
“Didn’t a demonic scene happen nearby? It is safer inside the walls.”
“But it’s nothing else, it’s a second-class demon scene… .”
A little while ago, Etria said that something auspicious would surely greet them.
In other words, if you enjoy a pleasant time as if nothing had happened according to your own request.
This means that you can have a stronger relationship with Fiore, whose stock price has risen after winning.
That’s right, Etria is now holding out her hand and asking.
Will you hold my hand as an ally? Or do you throw it away and become an enemy?
As soon as you become the family head, you are being forced to make a choice, not coercion.
“Um… .”
“Huh.”
No matter how much time passed, the aristocrats’ troubles did not seem to end.
I have a pride problem to run away quickly, and I’m worried about losing Chuck with Fiore.
That said, let’s continue to enjoy the banquet and spend the day here.
I am filled with worries that the monsters may be flocking here.
“I’m going to do as the head of the Fiore family says. We overcame Lichtenau, but can we say Fiore? Looking at the level of the knights I saw today, even level 2 monsters should be able to deal with them.”
“If you drink alcohol all night, talk flowers, and take a break in a room guided by Fiore, you will hear the news of victory. Obviously it will.”
Some aristocrats who have arranged in advance stealthily catch the wind.
They have already decided to ride the same boat with Fiore.
If Fiore holds a stronger position, it will benefit them as well.
Of course, he tries hard to put the nobles who will be the source.
After being confused for a while, they suddenly turn their attention to Shien.
He was the only person who subdued the 2nd-class demon scene here.
He is the owner of a family that has gone through that tough fight twice in recent years.
It was only natural that everyone’s attention was focused on Shien.
“Lord Lichtenau!”
“Go to Lichtenau! Please tell me once.”
“My lord. What do you think? Do you think it is better to stay here?”
Shien was almost taken aback when the nobles flocked to him.
However, after quickly clearing that mind, I thought about what answer I should come up with.
‘In my heart, I want to tell you to leave here.’
I noticed what kind of picture Etria was drawing.
If not, ruining the picture is the natural thing to do as a revenge.
However, that would cause great confusion.
I heard that a level 2 demonic spectacle has occurred in the near future.
Seeing that all of Fiore’s knights were recruited, it was clear that the situation was in an emergency.
It’s not nice to see many people scattering at a time like this.
Above all, the minimum force to escort them must be divided into small pieces.
“… .”
I feel the eyes looking at myself.
Shien raised her head and faced Etria looking down at her from above.
She already knew what Shien would say.
With her lips bitten, she is contemplating how to convince her.
‘I don’t want to do you any good.’
Rather, the enmity towards the Demonic Realm and the Witchbeast is greater.
It was Shien who had already faced the second-class demonic scene with his whole body.
At least in front of such a hell, it would be better not to stir up trouble at least.
“I am thinking of staying in Fiore.”
The moment the words finally came out of Xian’s mouth.
What about Etria? and let out a sigh.
