The light of magic tools shone brightly under the moonlight in the capital. A massive party concluding the alliance agreements with the Canary kingdom and Parabellum was currently in session.
……I wonder if I will have to attend more of these in the future.
Kazuya was currently wearing clothes similar to that of a male aristocrat. He was being stared at by many beautiful dressed up girls with twinkling eyes. He had a wine glass in one hand.
Now I just have to make sure Chitose doesn’t scare everyone off.
Chitose was currently emitting a large amount of blood thirst, warding off any nobles or aristocrats who got too close.
At such a time, something slipped through the crowd. Chitose backed up unconsciously as Karen approached.
「Oh dear, it seems your very popular Kazuya」
「I don’t like being stared at……that dress really suits you」
「Really? Thank you very much」
Kazuya exchanged greetings with Karen, who seemed happy at being complimented.
「….what’s wrong?……is it possible that you have no experience with parties?」
Karen asked quizzically upon seeing Kazuya restless.
「…..you know?」
「I can. Were there no parties in your world?」
「Well, it’s the first time I’ve participated in a party such as this」
「What do you mean? Didn’t you hold a party when you made your kingdom?」
「Even if you say that. I only became a president 3 months ago, I didn’t have time for a party as I was so busy. Moreover, back to the previous topic. I meant I haven’t attended a party like this for aristocrats, I’ve attended commoner parties before」
「You surely lie」
「Why would I lie? Everything I’ve said is true」
「……speaking of which, you did seem really nervous back in the throne room」
As Karen nods, remembering Kazuya from before. The room becomes noisy for a moment as a sea of people are parted and Iris appears before Kazuya.
Since this a formal party and Iris, who never usually appears, has appeared. The room grew restless.
From the mouths of the aristocrats and nobles, they talk filth about Iris.
「(Oh, look. That eye is disgusting)」
「(Shh!! That’s the national princess you know!?)」
「(The youngest daughter of Anna. The odd eyed princess)」
「(What are the guards doing? What would happen if her magic goes out of control here!?)」
「(It’s creepy as expected. That eye)」
「(Exactly. This long awaited party is ruined. We should leave early)」
Listening to the words around her. Iris looked down whilst clenching the hem of her dress tightly in front of Kazuya.
