I had jumped into this lion’s den to acquire this. To buy my future with this small medal.
So instead of being anxious, I had to make this medal worthwhile.
I made an effort to speak out loud.
“I can do it!”
The next day, when I went to Princess’s reception room, Cyril Lysan’s seat was empty. He seemed to be late.
The last to arrive, the princess looked at Cyril’s empty seat and laughed delightedly.
“Did Cyril stay up all night and is therefore late?”
“That’s…”
The maid across hesitated.
“Cyril can’t come to the palace anymore because his father’s business is in trouble.”
“Suddenly?”
“Yes… Your Highness.”
But the princess spoke calmly.
“Shall we then move on to solving the competition question?”
“I have been thinking, Your Highness, that two years ago on my father’s birthday, I…”
The maids worked hard on proposals for gifts for Her Majesty’s birthday, and the princess listened silently.
She made no mention of Cyril, who had long been the leader of the tea party members and had suddenly disappeared.
Oddly, I felt lonely watching this.
The maids boasted about how many awakening-effect teas they drank to stay awake.
But their suggested gifts were either modest, irrelevant, or domestic, making them completely unfit for the competition.
One maid cautiously spoke.
“Your Highness, what about Duke Kaidel…”
Then, all the maids turned their eyes to the princess, twinkling.
“Yes! We really thought hard! It would be great if we could have tea with Duke Kaidel, Your Highness.”
The princess shot me a look and asked nervously.
“Lorisha, what about Duke Rocard?”
Her face looked as if she’d devour me if I said he refused. Obviously, she’d make a fuss that I was the cause of her embarrassment.
I opened my mouth, feeling like swallowing a bitter pill.
“Duke Kaidel will serve as Prince Greiyan’s attendant and…”
Then an announcement came from outside.
“Your Highness, Duke Rocard Kaidel has arrived.”
Eek. Scream.
Whispers echoed simultaneously, and Princess Milliora looked at me with incredulous eyes.
I was equally astonished.
Such a scoundrel, appearing here of all places.
Duke Kaidel who entered the parlor seemed even more resplendent and sleek today. Where he passed seemed to carry a fragrance.
“I greet Princess Milliora, the small sun of Tagar. The flower of the royal family is beautiful today as well. I apologize for being late due to urgent business, Your Highness.”
“No, sit. Duke Rocard.”
Upon hearing his voice, the young ladies emitted a tiny sound as if they were choking. The room felt as though it had turned into a small aviary.
Duke Kaidel took a seat in Kyril’s empty spot, exchanged greetings with the tea party members, and sipped his tea. Looking at this scene made me feel as though the room’s lighting had subtly increased.
Despite my desire to wring his neck, I pondered the reason for his sudden appearance today after flatly refusing my invitation.
But I couldn’t come up with any plausible reason.
Despite harboring animosity toward me over the letter incident, he rescued me from the awkward situation at the attendant appointment ceremony.
And he even heeded my request now. It didn’t add up.
Could the academy’s top student and war hero be tormenting me in some unimaginably ingenious way?
Meanwhile, the conversation was heating up.
“Is it true, Your Grace, that you saved the life of the Second Prince?”
“We were all prepared to lay down our lives for the empire’s small sun. I just happened to be there at that moment.”
“Oh, how gallant!”
Princess Milliora chimed in.
“I heard the Emperor plans to award you the Kabel Medal?”
“I am thankful to have heard the same.”
“There’s been no one your age who’s received the Kabel Medal.”
“It’s merely an honor, Your Highness.”
Another young lady interrupted.
“I think it would be wonderful if Duke Kaidel were Your Highness’s attendant. Then we could frequently arrange such gatherings!”
“Has today’s gathering not been arranged, thankfully?”
“You speak so elegantly as well!”

Top celebrity Yu Shu suddenly fell into a coma during a concert.
Research scientist Yan Jin fainted in the lab after working overtime.
Two people with no connection were rushed to the same hospital.
Three days later, neither of them had woken up.
Suddenly, the entire nation discovered that a live streaming app had been forcibly installed on their phones.
Upon opening it, they heard the two discussing how to escape from the brothel.
The entire internet was in an uproar.

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
[Although it’s inappropriate, I also want a young and handsome boyfriend to have my child.]
