Contrary to Birna's wishes, rather than being hostile to the Princess, the leader bowed first and greeted her.
"The Facade greets Her Royal Highness, the brave princess of Valdina."
"Welcome to Valdina."
When Medea slightly nodded and greeted him, Gallo suddenly narrowed his eyes.
"Please call me Gallo. I'm a guy who got into trouble, so I don't have any last name."
"Yes, Sir Gallo."
"Haha. You can call me at your convenience."
The raised cheekbones shined brightly in the light of the chandelier.
Despite his innocent glance, Medea quietly responded with a smile as usual.
The fact that the head of Facade came to see her and greeted her first was definitely something that boosted her prestige.
However, Medea, who knew that they were roaming the streets of Valdina, could not let down her guard.
There was appropriate conversation and exploration that hinted at a friendly relationship between the two.
Medea felt that Gallo seemed to be paying attention to the reaction of the mercenary standing behind him throughout the conversation.
Acares.
'Did you?'
Then, for a quick glance, she inadvertently made eye contact with the mercenary.
He did not avoid Medea's gaze but raised the corner of his mouth again.
It was bizarre. He is actually bolder than the leader.
"The spear of St. Esther that decorated the sky earlier was amazing. I have traveled all over the continent, but this is the first time I have seen such clear blessings of victory."
Gallo rubbed his hands together and joked.
"So, it won't be long before the news of victory is delivered to Valdina-"
"Isn't it too complicated to be a coincidence?"
An unexpected question arose. Medea turned her head.
"Just in time, it burned loudly and disappeared briefly. Since when did God's will take care of all human circumstances like that?"
"Acares, what do you mean? Her Royal Highness, I am sorry. It's because this guy is good at making useless jokes."
When Medea saw Gallo looking back at his mercenary with a puzzled face, she could tell the source of the question.
Even on the Facade, she didn't even know if he noticed the traces of the white light bullet she used, as he was one of the best mercenaries.
"It's okay."
Medea decided to play it off.
"A faithful Baldina would not dare to lie in the name of God, but such faith cannot be expected from Facade, who does not hesitate to blaspheme. I completely understand."
"..."
Gallo became completely dumb. The mercenary asked as if he was intrigued even after hearing the impeachment.
"So the Princess is faithful?"
"Of course."
Medea answered without avoiding the mercenary's eyes.
"If I didn't believe in the goddess's mercy, there's no way I would turn a blind eye to your wantonness."
Cesare suppressed laughter when he saw the Princess calmly shooting back with an innocent face.
The person who used the statue of the goddess to change the mind of the Queen Mother and fucked the Prince Regent with a fake sacred fire, can he say that she is faithful?
"Acares, please be polite to the Princess..."
As the two talked, Gallo poked Cesare's side with a troubled look on his face.
Has the owner forgotten that he is now disguised as a mere mercenary? The other person is the Princess of this country!
Then, after hearing the Princess's response.
'You guy? Wanton? Ugh, my boss isn't the type of person to listen to things like this...?'
Gallo once again became mute with the face I had beaten.
"...What are you doing!"
At that time, the banquet hall became very noisy.
At last! A sparkle passed through the green eyes.
The three people turned their heads.
"Minister, what are you doing!"
"Huh, huh, huh..."
There, there was Minister Etienne, naked and furious, beating up an old nobleman.
***
An hour ago, Count Etienne's situation.
"Gentle? Cuisine, how dare you tease me?"
The anger he felt when he first heard the Princess's words grew like a snowball.
At some point, his anger at having nowhere to go exploded.
Wow!
"Claudio, you were treating me like that too, right? Did you think that since you had discovered my weakness, you would be able to manipulate this body as you please? Ha!"
The poisonous toad's anger even extended to Duke Claudio, the owner of Cuisine.
The minister was well aware of his hideous appearance and eccentricity.
On the contrary, he enjoyed the eyes and the troubled faces that were groveling in front of him but couldn't hide their disgust.
However, the fact that even Duke Claudio, who understood his eccentricity and reached out to him first, did the same, left a deep scratch on the minister's pride.
When the smooth face of Duke Claudio came to mind, his fever rose even further.
"The Princess and the Regent are all from the same family. Do you know that royal blood is worth something? Otherwise, things will get in the way of me..."
The minister's true feelings, which he had kept well hidden until now, were revealed one by one.
The scented candle that Umberto had been inhaling played a large role, but it was also due to the effect of the drug that Birna had mixed with Medea's wine.
"Why is the room so hot again. Umberto! Umberto!"
There is still no news about the attendant who brings alcohol. He was trying to quench my burning thirst, but the bottle was empty.
Is even my insignificant servant, now, trying to ignore me?
"These guys all know me as an idiot!"
He jumped up from his seat.
His whole body felt like it was expanding with heat.
The cravat that was constricting his neck and the tight ball gown was suffocating, so Etienne took off his clothes one by one.
After removing all the obstacles, he grabbed the doorknob that Umberto had left open and flipped it open.
As he left the room, which was filled with the strong smell of perfume and bad sweat, a rush of cool air greeted him as if welcoming him.
In the distance, he could see a banquet hall with golden lights leaking out.
"Oh, I was wondering why this bastard left his owner and fell to the side... You have to show me what happened-"
Suddenly, the sound of music from the banquet hall reached the minister's ears.
A beautiful melody flowed through his ears and the sound of people laughing and talking. Even the sweet scent carried by the wind.
This cold hallway where the minister was now standing seemed to be speaking to him.
No matter how hard you struggle, you won't even be able to set foot on that bright and cheerful sunny field.
A blue fire erupted from the minister's eyes.
"Did you know there was a place on the floor of Valdina that this body couldn't go to?!"
Etienne walked toward the golden light.
***
An old nobleman was astonished when he spotted him standing tall at the entrance to the banquet hall.
His face turned red, he had taken off all his outer clothes and was sweating profusely.
As he took a step closer, the strong smell of alcohol hit his nose.
"Minister Etienne? Why do you look like this...."
"What is this old guy, just squeeze the coffin and get in!"
The old nobleman was offended, but seeing that the minister did not even recognize him, he thought he must have been very drunk.
"Look, Minister. I don't know what's going on, but let's move somewhere first. There are noble ladies and young ladies here, so it wi be a problem to see them like this."
The old nobleman tried to appease the minister with a good heart and send him away.
He had no idea how his words would sound to the hallucinating minister.
[How dare you stick your nose in such a dirty maggot? This is trash!]
"Trash? How dare this walking corpse!"
The moment the old nobleman held back his disgust and grabbed hold of his thick, sweat-soaked arms, stars sprang into his eyes.
The minister clenched his chin.
When a roar rang out at the entrance to the banquet hall, people's attention was drawn.
"What? What's the matter?"
"Wait a minute, hey... Isn't he Minister Count Etienne? Why is he like that?"
"Minister, please excuse me for a moment."
The courtiers rushed to help the fallen old nobleman and grabbed Etienne's arms.
"Let go! Won't you let go?! You know who I am! These! Won't you let go?!"
Etienne struggled wildly.
Even the courtiers lost their temper as he lost his reason due to his massive body.
The people watching also screamed at the precarious sight of the bodies shaking together like lumps.
Etienne raised his head at the sharp noise that struck his ears.
Hundreds of eyes. The painfully shining light from the chandelier.
"Huh, huh, huh..."
It seemed like everyone was laughing at him. Even the sound of giggling laughter can be heard somewhere.
As the minister looked around, Medea appeared in his field of vision.
When people vent their anger, they usually look for the easiest person to talk to. An easy, weak opponent that you don't have to worry about retaliation from.
"This...!"
The young Princess was just that kind of target for the minister.
"Aaaaahhhhhhh!!
"Your Highness is in danger!"
The minister screamed and ran away.
