Antes seen this and blocked Luna as if to indicate off. His hatred for him will need to have been better, however he might really feel his disgusting obsession from the best way he was solely obtrusive at Luna each time.

“Marquis de Terne Vincent.”

Then, it was the flip of Marquis Vincent’s household. The Marquis checked out Antes for a second, however Antes averted his gaze, indicating he wouldn’t greet him.

Being in the identical place was adequate, so the Marquis neatly dismissed him and collectively together with his spouse and Rosemary greeted the Emperor.

The Emperor, admiring the golden music field ready by the Marquis, for some purpose, spoke in another way than he had formally to the Duke.

“Come to think about it, I met the Marquis’s eldest son some time in the past.”

“…Are you referring to Antes?”

“Sure. He confirmed me fairly a helpful merchandise. It was tempting sufficient that I needed to make a deal on the spot.”

Even recalling it appeared to fulfill the Emperor, who smiled for a second.

“Because of him, I made a very good deal. Opposite to expectations, he was a nice and articulate younger man. He knew easy methods to do enterprise.”

“…”

Surprising reward for Antes left the Marquis and Marchioness flabbergasted. Surprising blame was heard incessantly, however reward was a primary.

What sort of life had he led for the previous ten years? Or was Antes actually an issue little one from the start?

A basic query crossed their minds.

“I hope Marquis Vincent can even work for the Empire sooner or later. The inheritor has a very good popularity, so I’ve excessive expectations.”

“We are going to do our greatest to fulfill your expectations.”

The Emperor even had expectations for Rosemary, even with out mentioning Fersen. The order might need been reversed, however anybody might see that the Emperor held the Vincent Home in larger regard.

What sort of deal had that insane psychopath made to obtain such reward?

Everybody started to take a position, holding their breath. Amongst them, some had been casting fleeting glances at Antes.

Fuming with rage at not getting a single point out, the Duke glared at Fersen who was nonetheless harboring hostility in direction of Antes and Luna.

Seeing his pitiful habits, Luna sighed. Then, she requested Antes, who was blocking her method.

“So, this deal, is it about my gold?”

“Sure, he favored it so much.”

“However he ought to solely reward my gold, isn’t it bizarre to reward Antes too? What did you do to get such reward?”

“What’s it to you?”

At that, Antes frowned in response. It was a rebuttal, implying that it was fairly good.

“Younger lord has a really dangerous character, to the extent that he in all probability doesn’t have a single buddy, proper?”

“…”

That once more. By this level, Antes was beginning to remorse the phrases he had spewed.

It was like getting hit by Rosemary and Luna, and he couldn’t even deny it.

“It’s true that I’ve no pals, but it surely’s not due to my character.”

As he started to clarify, Luna’s expression turned sympathetic, as if it was pitiful to see him making such an excuse.

It solely made issues extra embarrassing so he simply shut his mouth. The extra he spoke, the deeper he appeared to sink.

Within the meantime, Rosemary, who returned to her seat, grabbed his sleeve. Her face was filled with questions.

“What on earth occurred? Did you make a cope with the imperial household?”

Though it wasn’t apparent, the Marquis and Marchioness too, pricked up their ears.

“It’s none of what you are promoting.”

In response, he confirmed a chilly response that he wouldn’t even present to others. What’s the massive deal appearing so chilly over one thing that’s not even a secret.

Luna sighed and answered as an alternative.

“It’s about gold.”

“Possibly the Girl’s gold…?”

“Sure, plainly they’ve determined to ship my gold.”

Upon listening to the reply, Rosemary’s forehead furrowed deeply.

“What? So, it’s not since you did effectively that you just had been praised, however as a result of the royalty likes the gold?”

The that means behind the phrases had modified. This made him uncomfortable.

“Do you suppose all the pieces that’s good sells?”

“Actually good issues promote even when left alone.”

“It doesn’t promote.”

“It sells.”

“It doesn’t promote.”

“It sells!”

Right here they go once more. This infantile struggle. Possibly it’s as a result of they had been siblings who separated too younger, they had been nonetheless having the identical outdated arguments.

It wasn’t a bodily struggle, so watching them felt somewhat pitiful, when all of a sudden, a mushy laughter was heard.

Turning their heads, they noticed the Marquis and Marchioness. Regardless of being in a spot to honor the royals, they had been making an attempt onerous to not present it, however they had been laughing at Antes and Rosemary’s infantile habits.

‘…It seems like fairly a pleasant household.’

They didn’t seem to be a household of villains.

The Marquis and Marchioness had a tough time with him, however they had been a standard and harmonious household in their very own method.

“Marquis of Granada.”

Whereas she was misplaced in thought, the identify of the Marquis of Granada’s household was referred to as. Though it was a spot to honor the royals, Seira’s determine wasn’t seen.

“I used to be planning to spill some wine if we met.”

In response Rosemary, who had stopped preventing, muttered quietly. Antes too was wanting on the Marquis’s household together with his arms crossed.

Each appeared fairly gloomy, however the thought that it was due to her didn’t make Luna really feel any higher.

“Viscount Cairn Kreost.”

After that, for some time, the greetings of the nobles continued. Maybe as a result of they owned giant territories, there have been various them.

After all, not each low-ranking household might honor the Emperor. Households just like the Baron of Peils, with nothing notable, had been merely spectators from starting to finish.

Being referred to as and honoring the Emperor itself was an influence.

So, it began to get boring. Scenes of others exchanging presents and conversing had been totally tedious.

Due to this fact, whereas making an attempt onerous to remain awake and counting the ceiling decorations, an sudden identify woke Luna up.

“Girl Luna from Barony Peils.”

What? Upon listening to her personal identify which had no purpose to be referred to as, Luna froze, wanting up on the ceiling.

It was the primary time that the identify of somebody with no title or something was referred to as.

“Oh my… Girl Luna, you need to exit!”

Rosemary shook Luna’s shoulder. The Marquis and Marchioness additionally hurried Luna.

With that, the bewildered Luna unknowingly took a number of steps ahead.

Naturally, all eyes within the banquet corridor had been on her. The bulk had been questioning why she was referred to as.

‘What on earth is happening…’

Luna too had the identical query.

A face-to-face with the Emperor. It wasn’t one thing she notably wished for, however nonetheless, it was an excellent event. One thing to put in writing down in a journal and boast about to descendants.

She swallowed her dry throat nervously, then slowly stepped ahead. Figuring out a whole bunch of eyes had been on her, she tried her greatest to stroll elegantly and superbly.

“I put your identify in simply in case, however I didn’t anticipate to fulfill like this.”

Upon arriving in entrance of the Emperor, he was more than happy and welcomed Luna warmly.

She questioned if there had been some mistake, but it surely appeared not.

“…It’s an honor to fulfill you, Your Majesty.”

After ending her well mannered greeting, Luna talked about what was on her thoughts for the time being.

“I didn’t anticipate to have the ability to current to Your Majesty, so I wasn’t in a position to put together a present.”

It was certainly the reward. Everybody else had ready presents, however Luna had not.

At this, the Emperor appeared amused as he responded:

“No, didn’t you already promise to present me an incredible reward?”

She hadn’t. She was critically considering who he had mistaken her for, when the Emperor offered a solution.

“I heard that the gold you possess could be very lovely. I needed to thanks for buying and selling with the imperial household.”

“…Thanks.”

She was promoting gold for cash, not giving it free of charge. So she questioned why he would thank her.

“As quickly as you found the gold mine, I heard that you just stated it should be equipped to the imperial household. The gold fits the imperial household, so it’s proper to produce it to them.”

Nonetheless, from his following phrases, Luna realized why the Emperor had taken a liking to her.

‘You bought my identify.’

She realized that for promoting the gold, Antes had made up flattering lies.

“I pray that blessings proceed to fall in your gold mine. In order that I can also proceed to see lovely gold.”

“Thanks in your type phrases.”

After replying like that, Luna politely bowed once more, similar to when she first greeted, and was about to return to her seat.

She made transient eye contact with the Crown Prince, who was close to the Emperor, which was totally different from the tedious grownup ceremony celebration; he appeared fairly intrigued as he gave a quick smile in direction of Luna.
