The eyes following her were intense, but unlike usual, she didn’t feel bad. Her exalted body shuddered finely.
“Are you having that much fun?”
The emotions conveyed through the ring are dizzyingly deep.
Believing that she could feel such intense emotions, Verndia smiled.
“Yes.”
The corner of her mouth went up involuntarily. It wasn’t pure joy.
Psychke tightened the hand that held his arm.
His arms were wrapped in his clothes, so she couldn’t feel his body heat, but she could clearly sense that he was by her side.
She saw an antique tapestry hanging on one side of the banquet hall.
Patterns that would normally not have paid attention to were clearly embedded in both eyes.
A scene where unicorns and baby angels play to heal the ruined battlefield.
It was a symbol of victory.
Stopping her steps, she turned and looked at the banquet hall.
The nobles were still looking only at her.
Each person’s expression was different, but the bass was so fresh that it was surprising.
‘What a surprise.’
Aren’t the emotions expressed at a banquet too raw for nobles who tremble in everything?
“E, ehem.”
“Didn’t you say you’re starting a new business soon, Count?”
Those who met her eyes hurriedly turned their heads.
Pretending not to see her, pretending not to be interested, talking to people around them, and changing the topic.
But the tilt of their body, the direction of their feet, and other things she had no control over showed that they were rather interested.
It was as expected so far.
And the man approaching her at a fast pace was as expected.
His face was distorted so that he could be seen from a distance.
It was showing off the charred inside without adding or subtracting.
Yzhar, Lennox, and Lillian could be seen behind him.
They didn’t follow their father and were frozen in place as if nailed to it.
Psychke waited until Logan got closer, then grabbed the hem of her skirt and slightly bent her knees.
“Greetings to the Duke of Silkisia.”
Logan’s mouth fell open at the words that felt an obvious sense of distance.
He let out a hard breath like a father shocked by his daughter’s defiance, then moved his chapped, chapped lips.
“What are you doing, Duke Lestir?”
His blue gaze filled with years reached Verndia and Verndia laughed.
“What are you talking about?”
“You took my daughter and what have you done?”
Aha.
Verndia immediately understood what Logan was trying to say.
But pretending not to know, he crossed his arms and tilted his head to the left.
“As you can see, I am treating you with sincerity.”
“Glorielle. No matter how much you wanted to attack Silkisia, was there even a need to name a dead person on my daughter?”
The nobles murmured at Logan’s words.
As the guards planted by Logan opened their mouths at the right time, the ‘appearance of Glorielle’ began to be downgraded to a trap set up by Verndia to attack Silkisia.
Verndia narrowed his eyes.
“She’s dead? Do you really think so?”
“Isn’t that obvious?”
“I heard that, but what do you think, Princess?”
“I am dead…”
A steady voice echoed through the banquet hall.
It was a quiet, peaceful voice, but it had a strange power over people, and even those noisy were momentarily speechless as they stared at her.
Psychke placed one of her hands on her chest. Slowly, she announced her existence without high or low.
“It can’t be. I am alive like this.”
“Psychke!”
An enraged Logan roared at her.
“I don’t know what happened to you in Lestir, but you are being deceived! Saying you are Glorielle… say something with sense—”
“I can show me proof that I am Glorielle.”
The high-pitched shouts suddenly stopped.
Understanding her meaning, Logan gritted his teeth.
He heard that she has a supernatural power, and she could already use it at her own will!
The eyes of the nobles who were watching the two were curious.
They had foreseen the great storm that would blow upon Silkisia.
It was then.
“His Majesty has arrived!”
The attendant who announced their status, also announced the presence of the Emperor.
