“Where have you been, Your Majesty?”
As Latrasil returned to the ballroom, Sonnaught quickly approached her.
“I was worried.”
It seemed he was quite surprised when Latrasil, who was eating fruit in a corner alone, disappeared and did not appear for some time.
“I just took a quick round.”
Latrasil smiled and looked around, but Sonnaught still did not relax his expression.
“Is there a problem……”
“No, the weather was good.”
Latrasil patted Sonnaught’s shoulder a few times and then went to sit in her personal chair. Next to Latrasil’s seat, seats for her consorts were prepared, and there was only Guesta in that spot.
“Your Majesty, you seem thirsty… Would you like this?”
When it was just Latrasil and him sitting, Guesta extended a glass of emeraldcolored champagne, received from a servant.
“Thank you, Guesta.”
As Latrasil took it with a greeting, Guesta blushed and lowered his head, hesitating. It seemed he was too embarrassed even with just this.
Although Guesta showed an extremely cute look, Latrasil did not see it as she was thinking about the conversation she had with the chancellor in the garden before returning.
[This is the time separator]About an hour ago.
“Okay, let him in the harem. But how do you plan to enter?”
“I am a renounced man, I do not know much about that.”
“Really? I heard you’re not staying in the chancellor’s residence. Where are you now?”
“I am a casino dealer.”
‘Not at all renounced? Seems like you’re more soaked in the worldly life than anyone else?’
Even if he needs to hide his identity, why the hell is he in a casino? When Latrasil looked at him incredulously, the chancellor explained, somewhat embarrassed.
“I know, it’s strange. But that’s why. I can meet all kinds of people without being suspected.”
‘But God would doubt his own judgment.’
Latrasil didn’t entirely buy the chancellor’s explanation, but she understood why he had made such a radical decision to hide directly in the harem. That was his way.
“But how did a casino dealer get into the banquet?”
“One of the VVIP customers bragged about being invited to the banquet, so I asked him to take me along. We bet on the invitation.”
“So, did you win?”
“Of course.”
With the chancellor grinning, Latrasil was unsure whether to praise him or not.
In any case, the sure thing was, by making that casino dealer a harem consort, almost no one would suspect that he was the chancellor.
“Let’s do this. If you stand out at the banquet, I’ll pretend to be infatuated with you.”
“Your Majesty, to me?”
“Yes. I will publicly propose you to enter the harem, all you have to do is accept it. But be careful.”
“What is it?”
“You have to stand out so much that I couldn’t help but fall for you, that anyone would agree. It needs to look natural. Convincing enough for the enemies. Can you do it?”
Upon Latrasil’s question, the chancellor thought for a moment and then nodded calmly.
“Yes. I have no confidence because I have always been hiding… but I will do it.”
[This is the time separator]A casino dealer serving VVIPs who was hiding? With that face and that body? Well……
“Your Majesty?”
As Latrasil was lost in thought, Guesta called her from the side, causing her to quickly compose herself and turn to him.
“Huh? What’s up?”
As their eyes met, Guesta, looking a bit shy, shifted his gaze and asked.
“Well… If it’s okay, Your Majesty, would you dance with me……”
It seemed like he was about to ask if it was okay. But before Guesta could finish his sentence, suddenly there was a loud noise from the dancing area. The noise was so loud that both Guesta and Latrasil turned their heads in that direction.
‘Huh?’
Looking at it out of curiosity, Latrasil opened her mouth in surprise. The surprise was so great that she almost stood up in a moment.
‘What’s that?’
There was the chancellor. The chancellor, who was passionately dancing alone.
Ditching his partner and dancing passionately, threatening to destroy the harp with the gentle rhythm of the harp, he stood out just as Latrasil had asked.
No, it was more than standing out; all eyes and attention in the hall were focused on him. The murmuring of people reached Latil’s ears.
“Amazing. He’s ignoring the rhythm completely!”
“He’s entirely separate from the music. It’s so mismatched it’s actually fascinating. Is he deliberately dancing offbalance? What would you call that?”
“Call it what you want. He’s just dancing recklessly.”
As he moved, a few nobles blushed while watching his large muscles sway flamboyantly.
Latil was taken aback and covered her face with her hands. Not only was his stubborn dance surprising, but it was also awkward to pretend to be smitten by it.
Why should she be embarrassed when he’s the one dancing? Blushing, Latil signaled to the steward with her hands. Do you have something else? Try a different dance.
Even if he just swayed his body to the harp’s sound, it would be noticeable, so why was he insisting on that? If she were to fall for that, Latil’s taste would be shattered along with the rhythm that day.
