Is the highlight of the banquet on the last day? (9) – unedited

I begged him very earnestly, giving strength to the hand I was holding. Please! Keep! It! A Secret!

“I even gave directions today, so you’re not going to go ahead and complain right? Don’t you have a strong sense of duty!”

“Yes, I am a person with a strong sense of duty. I won’t do that.”

“As expected, you are a model of noblesse oblige!”

The context was strange, but I uttered anything to lighten the man’s mood.

“But why did you do that? Suddenly waving his hand.”

“Our eyes met, but my body didn’t listen. It was out of control.”

“Were you nervous?”

“I thought there was nothing to be surprised about, but looking at your face, I was mistaken. You are very handsome.”

“Really? Where and how did you think that?”

I could feel the man’s mood improve strangely. I have no idea where to point it out.

“Do I really have to put it into words? Your Majesty will be amazed when you look in the mirror again.”

“No, I don’t think so.”

“Obviously yes. Your Majesty is the image of everyone’s first love. Well, I am sure there are many people who actually love His Majesty.”

“Are you like that too?”

“I mean it. You have an atmosphere like the scent of flowers, like spring in April. With that appearance, you have that power. Isn’t the world so unfair?”

“It might look like that.”

I shook my head at the man’s words and decided to correct it.

“It doesn’t just look like that, it’s obvious.”

The man’s low laughter tickled my ears. He was laughing like that, as if it was more enjoyable on this cold and hard grass than the dazzling hall of the banquet hall.

“Okay, now that the talk of good looks is over, tell me what you felt differently.”

“… Can I be honest?”

“I hate people who hide their innermost thoughts.”

There was no one there, but I just looked around. If someone were hiding and listening to me, it would be a big deal.

The man raised his knees and rested his arms on it, and put his chin on. He is perfectly ready to listen. I don’t think he asked with bad intentions, so I decided to be honest.

“… I think you’re going to get scammed a bit?”

Slip–

The man’s chin slipped over the palm of his hand. As a result, the mask was crooked, but the man waited for my words as if he had no intention of fixing it.

“You have the perfect style to eat behind your back. It’s fortunate that you are the Emperor, but if you had been in business, your partner would have taken away all of your fortune.”

“Pfft.”

The mask, once loosened, misaligned from his face, revealing a straight forehead and deep eyes.

“Are you okay?”

I reached out for the mask, feeling like I shouldn’t be looking at this man’s face. It was because I thought that it was a similar situation to ‘If you see a criminal’s face at a crime scene, you will die 100%!’

He hurriedly grabbed the mask that was about to fall under his nose, turned his arms behind his head, and began to tie the loose string only by feelings. As the knot was almost finished, I met the deep blue eyes hidden inside the mask.

“Huh?”

Looking at his eyes as clear and clear as glass, I was attracted more strongly than any other TV show program despite the same human eyes. It was as if he had picked up the pure moonlight and put it in his eyes.

“You are very handsome.”

“Didn’t we say that the story of good looks is over?”

“Yes?”

My hand slid down. The tip of the man’s lips rises as he tilts his head.

Blink blink.

As I looked at it, before my head could even recognize it, it started running down my spine, giving me goosebumps. As I shook and trembled, the man smiled even more mischievously. As if a spotlight had shone on him, the moonlight fell on the pale blonde hair.

“What is your name?”

It sounds like his voice has changed when he asks. No, the playful tone was the same, and the lightness as the wind in the spring was the same as before, but what I heard was different.

“… Erina Holden.”

Why did I talk about by name?

The man nodded his head. I didn’t even notice the commotion around him during my brief obsession with him.

“My friend is here.”

The man stood up first. The place where I couldn’t even hear the grass bugs was buzzing in an instant, and when I looked towards the front door of the mansion, the people inside the banquet hall began to come out one by one.

And at the front of the march stood a familiar face, Saint Serdebella Renee.

In the distance, words such as “Please go back carefully” and “It was an honor to meet you” were heard. It was a group of people that had come out to see the Saint off back to the temple.

The Saint looked around after she greeted them lightly with a bow. It was clear that he was looking for this masked man.

I don’t know why, but I jumped up from my position at the thought that I had to hide.

“Please, please go back safely. Well… I would appreciate it if you could forget everything I said today.”

“Are you going already? Why don’t you say hello to my friend.”

“No! I don’t think I should be delayed any longer.”
