'Rumor has it that he's a huge drunkard.'
'You're saying that even a sober person can be a total rascal?'
'He trashed the hotel lobby, what do you mean? Several employees were taken away.'
'If he's a herbivore male, he should be mild-mannered, darling. It was a pretty good hotel, but because of him, it's going to go downhill. Now, I guess I should look for somewhere else.'
Before attending the victory ceremony, the young ladies had already shared information.
Not knowing that, the Count joked to lighten the mood.
"Those who return from the land of the savages have been there for a long time, so they might have gotten a bad taste. Hahaha."
At those words, the Count's surroundings instantly became cold.
No matter how tactless he was, he said something like that to the main characters of the banquet.
That's why local nobles are not allowed.
The capital noble clicked his tongue internally and changed the mood.
"But isn't that fortunate? I heard that Her Majesty opened the gates to the punitive force in advance."
“Oh, that’s right. The victory ceremony was just around the corner, and I was anxious for no reason.”
The nobles nodded in agreement.
The cold atmosphere around them finally eased up. Nevertheless, the Count, who realized that his joke had not worked, tried to join the conversation with a regretful expression.
“Is that so? That’s fortunate.”
Even if he had no sense, he couldn’t be this indifferent.
The Countess, who was watching her husband’s dumbfounded attitude, almost touched her forehead.
Madame Delsey laughed heartily and pushed Titi forward.
“His Majesty is the God of the fair and just empire. For such a person’s name to appear to Titi. The silver wolf and the white deer. What a pair of fateful people they are. Isn’t that right, Titi?”
The Countess patted Titi on the shoulder.
Titi nodded as if embarrassed, then soon opened his mouth.
“Actually... I asked His Majesty to allow the punitive force to enter the capital.”
“Oh my, is that true?”
The young lady, who had been anxious because of the punitive force, asked in surprise.
When Titi nodded, everyone around her was impressed by her consideration.
“I didn’t know you were such a thoughtful person. You’re really amazing.”
“It’s not that much. I ended up urging His Majesty because I wanted those who brought glory to the empire to be treated fairly.”
Titi lowered her eyes as if embarrassed by the attention.
Everyone cheered at her meek attitude.
It was a moment when the government, which they had thought was arrogant and carried the Emperor on its back, looked different.
Thanks to Titi, the Count’s outrageous remarks were instantly forgotten.
Levro, who had been watching Titi with Sepia, asked suspiciously.
“Is that true?”
“...No.”
She could say it with certainty.
It was none other than Sepia who had opened the door.
Even at this moment, Titi was making up a false situation with a clean face as if nothing had happened.
Levro was startled by the stiff reaction and pulled out her cat’s claws.
“Oh, my goodness. Isn’t that a completely stone beast?”
The sight of the sharp blades on his neatly trimmed nails was strange.
Just before Levro started to run wild, saying,
'He trashed the hotel lobby, what do you mean? Several employees were taken away.'

“Oh, my goodness. Isn’t that a completely stone beast?”
The sight of the sharp blades on his neatly trimmed nails was strange.
Just before Levro started to run wild, saying,
“Look at that.”
“Huh, what are you talking about?”
The others, including Titi, turned their gazes to the absurd question.
There stood a knight with red hair.
It was Grower Chet, the commander of the punitive force.
A coyote beast, he was holding a plate full of steaks as if he was performing tricks that didn’t match his thin body.
He skillfully pulled down the top steak and chewed it.
Perhaps because his body was slightly exposed due to eating meat, his carnivore-like fangs looked menacing whenever he moved his mouth.
He swallowed the steak and said,
“That’s strange. The one who opened the gates was the Empress. Isn’t that right, Lord Roxanne?”
At the end of Grower’s gaze, the Duke, the main character of the victory ceremony, was standing.
The Duke stared blankly at the source of the rumors.
Titi flinched and then smiled awkwardly. The Duke ignored this, rolled his eyes, and mentioned Sepia.
“Yes. It’s all thanks to the Empress.”
Grower responded to the Duke’s answer.
“It wasn’t just that the Empress opened the gates. It was a great blessing that the Empress provided a place for everyone to stay during the celebration. To have to sleep out in the capital city, where we had worked so hard to get here, for the entire festival. What could be more terrible than that?”
Currently, the celebration was in full swing not only in the imperial palace but also in the capital city due to the celebration.
In addition, due to the population coming from the provinces, finding lodging was like trying to find a star in the sky.
The Empress, who knew about the situation, gave the empty palace to the punitive force.
The knights not only stayed there comfortably but also enjoyed abundant days with the servants and food sent by Sepia.
'How long has it been since I washed in hot water?'
'Yes. This is what you call cooking!'
It was a sweet rest that they had returned to after more than ten years.
It was so ecstatic that they asked if they could throw away the victory ceremony and stay in the palace.
Of course, the commander of the headquarters was one of them.
After Grower finished speaking, the Duke turned around.
Sepia was standing where Roxanne's eyes met.
He saluted Sepia.
"All of those who could not attend this event thank the Empress."
Then Grower, and by extension, all the knights in the banquet hall, expressed their gratitude to the Empress.
It was a wave of salutes.
The reason the expeditionary force paid their respects to Sepia was not simply because they had been provided with a place to stay.
Most of the members of the expeditionary force were either illegitimate children or commoners who had been expelled from their families or were drafted by those in power.
They were forgotten in everyone’s memories.
They knew what it meant to be abandoned, so they had a stronger sense of camaraderie, and they deserved to be recognized for their value since they had returned alive.

They were forgotten in everyone’s memories.
They knew what it meant to be abandoned, so they had a stronger sense of camaraderie, and they deserved to be recognized for their value since they had returned alive.
The Emperor’s hostility was actually a huge blow to those who barely made it back alive.
If it weren’t for the elEmpress’s consideration, a riot might have broken out before they could even celebrate their victory.
Courtesy for those who sacrificed themselves to the empire.
No one else but the human Empress was the first to recognize the expeditionary force’s sacrifice.
“May you find your place in life.”
Did the Empress know?
The fact that her words of congratulations had caused a stir not only for Roxanne but also for the entire knighthood.
They intended to recover everything they had lost, one by one.
Grower, who had been the first to catch wind, winked at Sepia.
“If the Empress hadn’t opened the door, we would probably still be outside the capital, making fire. Can I hang my left canine here?”
He grinned, tapping the canine, the symbol of a wild beast.
Despite Grower’s joke, Sepia didn’t say anything.
She thought they deserved to be treated well, and she did it out of morality.
She never expected them to be truly grateful.
The nobles, who were amazed by the modest sight, also praised Sepia.
“You are indeed the Star of Ishtar.”
“Since the Empress came to the Beastkin Empire, this land has been filled with peace.”
No one could criticize the achievements of the human Empress.
Until five years ago, there were large and small diseases prevalent among the people. As soon as the human Empress took her seat, she reorganized the dirty streets and started a water supply project so that even the common people could use clean water.
As soon as the Empress took action, the epidemics decreased rapidly.
That wasn’t all.
The Empress was carrying out various charity projects to help the poor and was supporting the talented but uneducated to nurture talent.

The Empress was carrying out various charity projects to help the poor and was supporting the talented but uneducated to nurture talent.
It was a different course of action from the Empresses of the past who took the strong for granted.
Thanks to this, the current Empress was receiving great support from the commoners.
“Of course. The mother of the empire is a person who possesses both mercy and wisdom. However...”

“Of course. The mother of the empire is a person who possesses both mercy and wisdom. However...”
The Young lady’s gaze trailed off as she reached Titi.
The nobles who had learned the truth were surrounding Titi with harsh glares.
“...Ah... That’s it.”
Titi mumbled and lowered her eyes.
Tears welled up in her amethyst-like eyes, perhaps because she could not bear the gaze of those around her.
She slumped her shoulders and muttered in a thin voice.
“...I thought that what I had asked of Your Majesty had come true.”
It was true that she had asked, but she did not know how it had actually come true.
It was a pretty good excuse to cover up the accident that had already happened.
If it weren’t for the careless or deliberately sabotaging Grower.
“Oh my, how could that be? The strong Sun wouldn’t be shaken by a single word of complaint.”
“Tch.”
Young lady Rabbit, who immediately understood the meaning, burst into laughter.
As expected of a beast with a small liver, she quickly noticed, but most of the people around her held back their laughter or covered their faces with fans.
