“What is this?”
“It’s a popular festival item. A potion that changes your hair color. It’ll revert after you wash your hair. His Majesty’s black hair would stand out even with a mask on.”
“Ah, so that’s why……”
“It was invented by the Elpisha Viscount House and sold by the Diamon Duke House. I heard sales have skyrocketed.”
The collaborative effort of the two houses had turned Vellion’s hair purple. Looking at Vellion’s hair, which had changed to the same color as her own, Delina unconsciously touched her own hair.
“Despite some unpleasant events today, forget all about them and have fun with His Majesty, Miss. The monkey is asleep, so I’ll take care of him.”
It was as if Felix was saying to forget about the incident with Dekar, as he sent Vellion and Delina into the square entrance. Zen, who had just gotten off another carriage, was captivated by the vibrant street.
“It’s sparkling!”
Zen looked at Delina and asked,
“Can I go?”
“Yeah. Going is fine, but take it slow… Zen!”
Zen, thrilled by Delina’s approval, ran off. His absence of a mask made him particularly noticeable. Betty, who had been behind, stepped forward.
“I’ll follow him.”
“……Okay, thanks.”
Felix had informed her that Calyx was staying at the banquet as the representative of the Ulpilim Duke House. Delina nodded her head.
‘It’s probably better that way. The banquet’s dessert area would be more beneficial to him than this crowded place.’
The square was bustling with all kinds of people. Various musical sounds filled the streets, and there were no shortage of performers.
Entering the crowd, Delina watched the festival with shining eyes.
“Aren’t you hungry?”
“Hungry?”
“You haven’t eaten anything.”
Walking beside her, Vellion asked. Realizing he was right—she had skipped meals due to performance preparations—she felt a pang of hunger.
“How about that then?”
What Delina pointed to was a sandwich stall. Without a word, Vellion walked towards it, and Delina followed him, her eyes fixed on the various sandwiches laid before her.
“Ah, welcome! Looks like a father and daughter came to enjoy the festival together?”
The merchant greeting customers looked at Belion and Delina standing side by side and spoke with a smile. Startled, Delina shook her head.
“No. He’s not my dad.”
“What? Then?”
Hearing he wasn’t the dad, the surprised merchant looked at Belion as if he were a kidnapper. Then Delina hurriedly added.
“So… he’s my patron.”
“Huh? Patron?”
“Yes. He provides me with a place to live and an education, that kind of relationship.”
“Oh, so you’re saying he feeds you, shelters you, clothes you, and even educates you, but he’s not your dad?”
Finally, chuckling, the merchant handed a sandwich to Delina. At the same time, he softly said to Belion.
“Did you have a fight with your daughter?”
“…….”
“You should make up soon. I’ve raised a daughter too, so I know. If she’s acting like that, she’s clearly deeply upset.”
Despite the merchant’s words, Belion silently paid for the sandwich. Delina, who took the sandwich, bit into it with a cheerful smile.
“Can we sit and eat?”
“Yes.”
The two found a quiet bench and sat side by side. Unlike the bustling area far away, it was quiet and calm near the bench. Belion, who was looking down at Delina nibbling her sandwich, opened his mouth.
“I’m not good at talking, originally.”
