At the sound of Delina’s father, a moment of silence passed. Then, Delina, who had been awkwardly smiling, added a remark.

“Well… because it’s a place. Gently, please, quietly, I ask. Okay?”

“…….”

Upon hearing her father’s voice, Valion, who was with Delina, showed no significant change in expression.

“Crack…!”

However, the speed of dealing with the men increased significantly.

Unable to even scream properly, the men fell one by one to Valion’s hands.

Only when some realized the seriousness of the situation and tried to escape, they were blocked by Betty.

Watching this, Felic, who had been by Delina’s side, whispered to her with a smirking smile.

“Oh, it’s really been a while since I’ve seen milady feeling embarrassed.”

“…Embarrassed? Is that what this is?”

“Yes. You’re not even able to meet your father’s gaze right now, and you just keep beating these people. If you make that father’s voice one more time, she might run away altogether.”

As Felic said, Valion completely turned his back on Delina and busily dealt with the situation. While Delina was staring at him intently, suddenly a scream echoed.

“Agh!”

Delina turned her head at the sharp scream of a woman. Betty was dragging a woman she had caught, saying,

“She was hiding and giving orders in the back.”

“Are you not letting this go right now? Do you know who I am, dare…!”

It was a familiar voice. Delina quickly recognized the woman caught by Betty. It was Princess Rosie. She shivered all over with a frustrated expression.

“You’re not letting this go right now? Knights, knights!”

Rosie desperately called the knights, but it seemed she had already fallen victim to Betty. In the distance, the scattered knights could be seen miserably. Delina, who now roughly understood the situation, asked,

“Did the princess send these suspicious people to me?”

Just as Valion, who had cleared the crowd, approached Delina again, Rosie, who received the full attention of Delina, Valion, Felic, and Betty, chewed her lips and replied fiercely,

“What! So what if you look at me like that! Release me right now!”

Even though she was caught in the act, Rosie remained defiant. Then, Felic whispered to Delina,

“Who is that woman, milady?”

“…She’s Princess Rosie of the Kingdom of Louise.”

“Oh, that place. No wonder, her face looked familiar somewhere.”

In response to Felic’s words, Delina asked,

“Do you know the place?”

“Yes. Milady, don’t you remember? The Kingdom of Louise? You received it as a birthday present from His Highness.”

“…Me? As a birthday present?”

“Yes. Don’t you remember?”

“As a birthday present, making the kingdom’s emblem into a necklace and giving it to me when I was sixteen?”

Delina, who was rolling her eyes at the strange sound, finally realized and widened her eyes.

“Me, asking for a necklace for my birthday, and they made the kingdom’s emblem into a necklace and gave it to me?”
“Yes. But milady, you said you absolutely can’t rule a kingdom, and you won’t accept it. So, the king over there continues to rule. Well, the kingdom is still yours, though.”

Delina realized once again that she had received an enormous gift. While the astonished Delina blinked her eyes blankly, Rosie’s outburst continued.

“Hey, what if our father finds out about this? You all will be executed!”

Ignoring her words completely, Betty handed the paper she had in her hand to Valion.

“This is the paper I had until just now. It seems to be a quite important document.”

Without saying a word, Valion unfolded the paper. Delina and Felic also stared curiously from behind Valion, wanting to know the contents of the paper.

It was the first word that caught their eyes. What surprised them was the two names lined up under the word ‘engagement letter.’

Delina, without realizing it, let out a breath at the names of James and Rosie side by side. Felic subtly smirked.

“James?”

It seemed like Delina didn’t know what Noah’s alias was. Delina looked at Valion earnestly, and Rosie shouted at Delina.

“What, you’re James’s lover? James is mine! We’re going to get married!”

At Rosie’s words, Valion’s brow narrowed.

“Lover?”

As Valion muttered to himself, Rosie shouted even louder.

“That’s right! I don’t know where you came from, but the daughter of a barbarian like you doesn’t suit James! He suits me more!”

While Delina desperately shook her head behind Valion, Rosie didn’t notice. At that moment, Felic whispered to Delina, seeming to have realized who James was.

“Milady. Is that person James, by any chance… by any chance…”

“…Yeah. That’s right.”

Seeing the paper crumpled lifelessly in Valion’s hand, Delina reluctantly accepted the situation.

“Sir James! Sir James!”

An urgent voice reached Noah, who was processing documents in the office.

Without waiting for a response, the door opened forcefully, and Valion walked in. Following behind him, Leo and Leon looked contemplative.

“…….””…….”
