There was a commotion upon our arrival. I could feel dozens of eyes staring at me and Sen followed by murmurs of the aristocrats at the banquet.

This kind of attention is too burdensome and… No, let’s just forget it, thinking about how taxing it is, is also troublesome.

The guard continued to look at the back of the invitation and looked at me like I was some weirdo.

‘Belial Serena Minehardt.’

I’m someone who came with the invitation of the prince, so of course, they’re not letting me in and choosing to make a spectacle out of this.

“Wait here for a moment.”

“I already gave you the invitation, what do you mean 'wait’?”

Sen who was awkwardly fiddling with her exposed neckline due to the structure of the dress and her tied-up hair, asked irritably.

“You’re saying you received this from the prince himself?”

The guard continued to say in a flat tone, as if seemingly knowing Sen.

“A maid and an unknown person came to the banquet with the prince’s invitation. Do you think it’s believable? What if you guys stole this invitation and caused havoc in the banquet? It’s going to be a pain in the ass to solve the situation.”

“How could that be? It’s true that I gave that invitation to them. Will you be responsible if there’s any problem?”

“Yes, yes, I will handle- Y-your Highness!”

The guard who was originally continuing to talk down on us, bowed his head in a hurry.

Coming from the back, Belial who was dressed in vibrant clothes walked towards us with his arms folded. If you said it was a tiger coming straight towards us, I would have believed you. Right now, he doesn’t look gentlemanly one bit.

Belial’s green eyes narrowed at me and then glanced at Sen’s and my clothes.

“It fits you well. Do you like the clothes I prepared?”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

I answered frankly.

“It fits me really well to the point that it’s a bit strange.”

How could you have guessed it so accurately with just your eyes. Are you a pervert?

“It’s because I have a good eye, by the way, why haven’t you gone inside yet?”

At this point, the guard could no longer stop us from entering the banquet. It was best not to get in the way of aristocrats.

He gave way with an embarrassed look, and only then did Sen and I enter the banquet hall. The person behind us didn’t have an invitation, yet it was impossible to stop him from entering the banquet hall.  Just how thick is his face?

“…Wow.”

Honestly, the banquet hall was amazing. I even wondered if all the money amassed from the north had been poured into it.

The grey ceilings and walls, which originally had felt desolate, were brightly lit up and gave off a pleasant feeling. There were countless people walking around and each table was filled with food and alcohol.

'It’s definitely a once in a year luxury.’

I heard that a crowd of people came from the capital, no wonder, if I also experienced this, I’d come back again. Considering the money these aristocrats spent in the North during the festival, it’s considered more of a bold investment than a waste.
