The foundation ceremony of the Wilentia Empire was held grandly.
Led by the priests of the Isthar Temple, the nobles and aristocrats of Wilentia gathered in the outdoor plaza crowded with the people to hold a ceremony praying to the goddess Isthar.
Afterward, festivals unfolded throughout the capital, and from the Imperial Palace to Somnia, imperial nobles from all over were gathered for a grand banquet that lasted for three days.
As a significant national event, it was always celebrated in a splendid manner. It was so renowned and captivating that even tourists from overseas would come to witness it.
“I heard that even during past wars, they never skipped the foundation ceremony.”
Being a nation established by overcoming sin with the power bestowed by the gods, the foundation ceremony seemed to hold special significance.
The emperor, being the descendant of the hero chosen by the gods to defeat evil, also added to the importance.
Among all the events of the foundation ceremony, the most attention-grabbing was the ceremony of praying to Isthar.
The role of leading the prayers on the altar was considered the most prestigious.
In the history of the empire, the priests of the Isthar Temple had taken turns leading this ceremony.
From what I read in the history books, the Apellite family, which has now disappeared, used to take charge of the ceremony.
The Apellite family was known to be particularly close to the goddess Isthar, chosen ones who communicated with her….
Thinking about it, it made sense that the priests were eager to entrust me with the role, calling me the “savior.”
“Yeah, but I won’t do it.”
As a representative of the four major families, I sat on a raised platform overlooking the crowded plaza.
Beside me were Léane, who attended as my bodyguard, and Charlotte, who claimed to be my true bodyguard. Greed was sealed in a gem.
I looked down at the people densely gathered in the square. They all came to watch the ceremony today.
Certainly, I had told Greed earlier to be quiet because the high priest and the Isthar priests would be scattered around, but he couldn’t stand it and opened his mouth.
[Looks delicious[Dash]!]“Shh!”
It seemed like he wanted to eat the delicacies prepared for the guests.
[…Is it not okay to talk for a moment? Too boring!]“No, you can’t. Last time at the Isthar Temple, when you spoke, the high priest gave you a nasty look. So be quiet if you don’t want to be sealed in the temple.”
[Geez.]Greed grumbled for a moment but soon fell silent. It seemed he didn’t want to be sealed in the temple.
Now that I had quieted Greed, Charlotte became the issue.
“Charlotte, you’re too close.”
“I need to be close to protect you better. Lili, I’ll keep you safe!”
Words urging me to take good care of my body reached my throat and disappeared. I was sure he would gulp down his words like a bowl of cold kimchi soup.
But not to be outdone, Léane was also sticking close to me, guarding the surroundings.
“Léane, there’s no need to be so vigilant.”
“I don’t know. The Irkalla Sect or the Duke of Angelos may have plotted something. Especially in a crowded outdoor plaza like this, there might be a guerrilla warfare.”
Although it seemed like an excessive concern, the thought that such an incident might actually happen left me speechless.
‘Surely they won’t attack in a place where the nobility and direct descendants of the four major families are gathered.’
As I whispered to Léane, Charlotte, clenching her fists, asked, “Miss, isn’t my protection enough?”
“No.”
“…Tch.”
While Charlotte pouted her lips as if sulking, she didn’t move away from my side.
At that moment, I overheard the gossip of the passing Lady’s group.
“I heard Lady Dorothea will be leading the altar today.”
“Of course. Lady Dorothea is the only woman among the direct descendants of the four major families!”
“But, um… I heard that the original nominee was someone else.”
“Oh, come on.”
I felt a glance towards my direction. Without pretending not to notice, I looked straight at them. Among them, as soon as I met eyes with a familiar woman… I winked.
“…!”
“Let’s go!”
The ladies scattered like arrows, leaving in haste.
[That woman might come back to pick a fight later.]Terrifyingly, Charlotte added to what Greed said.
“She might come back and scratch you gently again. Doro-whatever.”
It seemed like they communicated well. Even though Charlotte couldn’t hear what Greed was saying.
“By the way, why do those women think they know everything? Miss Lili, I’ll stir up some trouble and be right back!”
Suddenly accelerating, Charlotte pressed her shoulder against mine, making it feel like she was about to dash towards where the ladies disappeared.
“Whoa, calm down.”
“But those women!”
“Sit quietly, Charlotte.”
“Yeah!”
Charlotte seemed pleased just by the fact that I put my hand on her shoulder.
Now I was really confused.
‘Is she a person, or a large dog?’
