“Although it’s conditional, I made a pact with Blesett to give blood someday.”

I also made a promise to meet King Elowen soon!

“Moreover…”

I gently stroked the box that Arwin had given me just before. Inside it was the camera that had been finally completed after various twists and turns.

“Hehe…”

This camera was scheduled to be unveiled at the social event two days later. Since Elowen-friendly nobles from Ainsteen were also expected to attend the event, it promised to have a significant promotional effect.

“Very good. Everything is progressing well as planned.”

I hope it continues to go smoothly like this in the future.

Although Ainsteen’s king is so quiet to the extent of being suspicious, and there are concerns about April and Blesett’s secrets, I’ll manage somehow.

“Anyway, I’ll do my best.”

Thus, two days later.

The morning of the day the long-awaited social event was held dawned.

“Well then, I’ll be going. Make sure to stay out of trouble! Got it?”

“Kkyawong.”

I don’t know if she understands or dislikes it. Anyway, she doesn’t want to be separated from me, as she is still sticking close to my shoulder.

“April, it’s time for your mom to get on the carriage.”

“Kyawoong…!”

“I’ll bring a gift when I come back. Good, right?”

“…”

The rabbit seemed to hesitate for a moment, then suddenly dropped down. Seeing her willingly step back at the mention of bringing a gift, it seems like it’s not a bad sight as per future foresight.

“Our good rabbit. Wait for me a little, I’ll be back soon.”

“Kkawong.”

After gently patting the rabbit that clung to my waist, I exchanged a glance with Graian, who was standing nearby, and then got on the carriage.

Graian looked apologetic that he couldn’t accompany me. But what can he do? He’s a busy person with a lot of work.

“Well then, let’s depart.”

Arwin, who was sitting in the front seat, said. It was quite unexpected that he decided to accompany me.

Of course, to quickly reach the location where the social event was held, we needed to borrow the power of magic. However, there are other sorcerers in Solzbary Castle besides Arwin, so it’s possible to rely on them.

But Arwin’s decision to accompany me was truly unexpected.

“Why are you looking at me like that?”

“…”

Arwin chuckled and flicked his fingers. At the same time, I felt a change in the airflow. I raised my eyebrows and mumbled a response.

“No, it’s just… unexpected.”

Soon after, the magical carriage, enveloped in magical power, crossed the space altogether.

Feeling a bit dizzy, I closed my eyes, and when I opened them again, the scenery outside the window had changed.

The place where the long-awaited social event was scheduled to take place. Although it’s in the southwest of Elowen Kingdom, from the perspective of the entire continent, it’s in the west. Anyway, I arrived at the Fieren Duchy, the most fertile land in the Elowen Kingdom.

‘Wow…’

Throughout the journey to Fieren Duchy, I couldn’t help but admire it.
“To reach the Fieren Duchy, the closest city, Aransa, had to be passed through, and it was the most bustling city in the Fieren Duchy.”

Perhaps because of that, the cityscape was very well done, and the commercial buildings were very shiny.

“Although the Diamond City of the Solzbary Duchy is quite a bustling capital, this place has a much more splendid feeling.”

Indeed, it is the warmest and most prosperous region in the Elowen Kingdom. Is that so…?

Well, the Fieren Duchy pays the most taxes to the central government, and that tax helps the Solzbary Duchy defend the borders.

…Sometimes I think Elowen Kingdom overly relies on the Solzbary Duchy for border defense.

“It may be a system that has been entrenched for a long time, so it might be difficult to change it now…”

There are reasons why the Ainsteen royal family wants to destabilize the Solzbary Duchy.

…Thinking about how scandalous Graian and I’s marriage was, I suddenly feel the weight of it.

“There will probably be many people at today’s social event who are not favorable towards me.”

I tightly clenched the hand on my knee. I have to change the views of Elowen Kingdom people towards me today. Today is the opportunity.

“I can do well. Let’s be strong…!”

It’s my first time in high society…! But with useful butterflies by my side, I should be able to handle it somehow.

{Well, whether it’s true or not. Just trust us, Gloria!}

{We developed the system window for this moment!}

… It sounds a bit forced.

“Madam, we have arrived at the Fieren Duchy.”

The chauffeur opened the door and politely informed me.

After exchanging a brief glance with Arwin, I got off the carriage. Since Arwin decided to stay in the carriage, I have to attend the event alone without his help.

“Uh, I’m nervous.”

Still, it’s fortunate that Anna is with me to support me… If I were really alone, I might have been more nervous than now.

“Madam, please wait a moment. I will tidy up your hair and clothes.”

“Uh, thank you…”
