The Book Of Flowers
Events Hall
a moment later, Rose Castle---
"Your guys finally arrived. The entire Hortensia family is looking for you right now"
For one reason or another, we had to clean our clothes first
But I'm the worst. Thanks to those who beat me one by one, I had to change clothes to my usual suit because the clothes Rosalia gave me were filled with dirt
Veskal was only lucky that he had to replace his white boss with the one Rosalia gave him. While Verdea inevitably has to clean the dust that sticks to his clothes as quickly as possible
Me and Remina had to do a little magic to help her. If we don't do it, he'll come here in a crumpled, shabby shirt
"Sorry we came late" I said to the waiter who was waiting for us
"It's okay. You're not the last to come"
Really? That's good news
I was worried that we would be late again because of the large number of people who were with us, so hearing that we were not too late was a joy
"If I may ask, who has come to this party?" I asked the waiter
...
We've got the information. And with that too, I got a little something I didn't know about how Rosalia could gather so many people at a time
The answer is to separate the schedules for each group. So in short, the nobles present in this day did not include the nobles of this kingdom
Yep. In attendance today were the royal families of the foreign lands and the noble families they had brought with them
And now there are only 5 families
The Orion Family, the Gong Family, the Bestia Family, the Grandier Family of Crux, and the Artemis Family of Orion
Not expected just this much. Many of them are even our allies
At least I can settle my affairs with those two kingdoms first, rather than when this room will start to get crowded
"Greetings! The kingdom of Miralius has arrived inside the hall!"
...
It was the first time I heard of a greeter around me. His voice was so loud that it made me flinch
Look calm, Vainzel. Appear calm...
Ah, and look who came here
"Oberon, you've arrived!" Julius came to greet me
The other two kings also came closer, leaving behind a crowd of their families. I don't know why they were like that when they saw me
"Happy Flower Festival. May your life be healthy always, Oberon"
"For you too, your Excellency Gong. Her majesty Bestia. His Excellency Orion"
The other 2 families seemed reluctant to approach us, but one of the Artemis family members came before me
Their appearance was very striking with silver hair, so I knew that this woman who was with Julius was a member of the Artemis family
"Greetings Oberon. Happy Flower Festival and may goodness be with you"
Hmmmm...
Wait for. Her... I've known...
Who yeah...?
Have I seen him in Orion before?
Nope, no. I remember him when he was more... Small-time
Small-time...
...
"... I'm sorry if I asked like this but...
Have you ever been kidnapped by a woman who screamed that she was your mother?"
Yeah.huh...! I know his face!
He's the kid. Her name...
"Yes! My name is Alorry Orion! It's a great honor for Oberon to remember my old self!"
Alorry Orion, formerly known as Alorry Artemis. She is also the wife of Julius
I didn't think that the child I saved just by chance, was now the queen of a superpower
The Artemis family was a trusted family belonging to Orion, just like the Grandier for Crux. Their achievements were numerous in terms of military, and the way they played arrows was something that was beyond this world
And because of the importance of the family to Orion, the eldest daughter of their family will be married to the crown prince of the Orion family. It has been customary for them, until now
But from what I've seen, even though their marriage was caused by politics, they seem to be compatible with each other
"I told you once that he saved me, didn't he? And now I meet him face to face!" He said, holding Julius' hand
Her husband was silent while rubbing his own head
...
Julius seems weak in handling women. Probably because he really likes his wife
Reminds me of myself...
"July... I can see my idol again..."
And this wife reminds me of Ordelia. Somehow they were exactly like the two of us, but were married
Stop looking at me with a frown like that Ordelia...
...
Unlike the rest of the Artemis family who were busy with their own things, those people seemed to be talking about us while glancing over here
Diverting your eyes like that won't fool me, Yuriel Grandier
They also did not hide their intention to antagonize us. Maybe because of what happened in the court yesterday, they had a clear reason not to like us all
Not talking about the kidnapping
"really. Mr. Yuriel looks very wary of you, probably because of yesterday's events" Julius whispered
Ah yes, I almost forgot. I should have spoken in a half-whispered manner in a place like this
"Oberon, Verdea"
Hm?
I turned my head and found Remina looking like we wanted to listen to her. We close our ears to find out what is bothering them
"Can I change for a minute? My clothes were slightly wet from using magic earlier" Remina told us
"Huh?? How did you just wake up?" Verdea commented, holding her voice
"Forget that! Whose fault is it that made me have to clean his clothes?"
Verdea looked like she wanted to attack, but I immediately held her back and turned back towards Remina
"Ordelia will help you. Be careful inside this castle while changing your clothes" I warned
Remina nodded, then asked Ordelia to come and take care of him while preparing a change of clothes
...
Actually I know what Remina meant. But I'll keep that secret for a while first
"What's wrong with that little girl, Oberon?" Alorry asked
"It's okay. Someone soiled his shirt that the girl had to help clean up"
Verdea glanced at me with a huffed face, as I only smiled mockingly at her
Julius and Alorry just laughed a little at us
"You guys are really good friends" Julius commented
"How do you know, your majesty? He always mocked me" Verdea said
"I can tell precisely because of that. If you are not close enough, you will not dare to reproach each other" Julius said again
"Like us" Alorry added, as he stuck his tongue out at Julius
Veskal who heard the two men immediately laughed at us from behind, even though he tried to hold it. We glanced at the boy to make him stop, but he still didn't want to
"... This body odor mocks us, Vain" Verdea whispered, even though he deliberately made Veskal hear it
"really. I'm sure he shut his mouth because he hasn't brushed his teeth" I added
"I've taken a shower! You can smell my body!"
"No thanks" I cut it off, made a cross with my hand and took a step back
"The smell will make us dizzy" Verdea also followed
Verdea and I then pitted our boxing alliance against Veskal
Veskal immediately seemed to want to explode
"You're lucky we shouldn't be noisy in this place...!!!" He said, holding himself back with all his might
My friends laughed at him, making him look confused while telling them to be quiet one by one
Julius, Zen, Lev and Alorry also laughed, even so Lev unintentionally laughed so hard for a moment that he unconsciously roared like a lion. Our voice also made the whole room attracted his attention towards us, while we still made Veskal blush more
"Alright, already. Look at the color of his face red. Let's forgive today" I said
Veskal threw away his face, making Verdea even more tickled
"Greetings! The Crux family has entered the hall area!"
"Greetings! The Borneus family and the Xiang extended family have entered the hall area!!"
Uh-h?
Looks like they've all started coming...
"sorry. But it seems like this is the only joke we can make for today" I said to the guests gathered with us
The four of them looked a little disappointed, but understood what I said
I also did not have time to discuss anything with Gong and Xiang. Then I should use another way first
"You're saying I'm a joke or something?" Veskal said near my ear
Verdea and I just chuckled, as Veskal's face began to multiply. He once again threw away his face in annoyance
"alright. Happy Flower Festival to all of you. May we meet again soon"
"We hope so too, Oberon. Happy Flower Festival"
They all left us one by one, as the room continued to be filled with welcoming voices and the footsteps of the guests who began to bustle into this place
Now we have to start being careful who we talk to. I hope they don't mess with any of us
Remina is also a bit old
The dance will start...
