The Invited Guests Have All Arrived

“Brother Cardis …” (Harold)

The one who appeared next was the First Prince, Cardis.

According to Monica’s investigation, after that declaration by King Eibar, there had been no particularly notable movements, and it was said he was focusing on his studies, but I never imagined he would participate in the party, so I was surprised when I saw the letter confirming his attendance.

“Welcome, thank you for coming. Please enjoy yourself today.” (Harold)

I said something heartless like that.

I’m sure the other students attending the party will feel a bit awkward seeing Cardis here.

“Ah, I’ll do just that. For me, this is the first party without any strings attached.” (Cardis)

“So, it is…” (Harold)

When he said something like that, I honestly didn’t know how to respond.

But it’s true that until now, Cardis had been busy with dealings with other nobles to expand his faction for the succession struggle. Now that I think about it, even as a child, he was always forced to behave as the First Prince to meet Margaret’s expectations, and I don’t think I’ve ever seen Cardis, as a child, act joyfully or have fun. Wow, that’s so sad.

“Brother… please, enjoy yourself to the fullest.” (Lizette)

“Ah, ah…” (Cardis)

As I said that with all my heart, almost tearing up, Cardis seemed slightly disturbed, and I was baffled.

But with this, the party will bring together the three princes—Cardis, Raphael, and Owen—who are in the royal succession struggle. I never expected this. Originally, I only held this party for Liliana and to create connections with the romanceable characters from ‘Galhaz,’ but now…

“This is becoming an interesting situation.” (Monica)

“Ugh!?” (Harold)

I was suddenly spoken to from right behind me, and I couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise.

I always say this, but approaching without making a sound is bad for my heart, so please don’t do that.

“Monica, how is the venue?” (Harold)

“Yes. Many students are already enjoying their conversations. Perhaps it’s about time you go inside to greet them.” (Monica)

“Hmm, just a little longer.” (Harold)

I told Monica to wait and turned my gaze toward the dormitory.

After all, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that I held this party for Liliana, and it can’t begin without her, the guest of honor. Also, Christia and Carla haven’t arrived yet… and speaking of which…

“Hehe, sorry for being late.” (Christia)

“Today, we will definitely enjoy ourselves.” (Carla)

Oh, Christia is attending in ceremonial priestess attire. It’s been a while since she wore this when she came as part of the diplomatic delegation two and a half years ago. On the other hand, Carla surprises me with her silver tuxedo. I had thought she would wear the holy knight’s formal wear or a dress. But, well, she’s tall, and it looks really good on her. She looks so cool.

“Of course, please enjoy yourself to the fullest. Oh, and Liz too.” (Harold)

“Hehe, yes. Well then, see you later.” (Lizette)

Liz, Christia, and Carla finally entered the auditorium together.

“Now… there are only Liliana and Lloyd left.” (Harold)

“As for Liliana-san, that’s no surprise, but Lloyd-sama should be ready soon, don’t you think?” (Alexandra)

“Yeah, you’re right…” (Harold)

Considering it’s Lloyd, I thought he would arrive early at the venue and start eyeing the female students. After all, Lloyd is a regrettable handsome guy. And he’s also a bit of a coward. But still, Lloyd is one of my few male friends at the Royal Academy… and I don’t dislike his personality. I really want him to be happy, too.

“Your Highness Harold, it seems they have arrived.” (Monica)

“Huh? Really?” (Harold)

Monica said that, but I couldn’t see him at all.

Apparently, we have a huge difference in our eyesight.

After a while…

“Ah, come on! Why are you so slow getting ready?!” (Lloyd)

“It can’t be helped! It’s not like I wear a dress every day, you know!” (Liliana)

I was finally able to see the two of them, who were running while bickering, with my own eyes.

But wait, this… is this an escort? It seems a bit different from what I expected.

“Yeah, you’re late.” (Lloyd)

“Hah… Hah… L-Look, Haru! I went out of my way to go pick her up because she said she was nervous alone, but now she’s making me wait forever and complaining about it!” (Lloyd)

“Y-You can’t blame me! This is my first party, you know! And you could at least escort me properly!” (Liliana)

“Stop, stop!” (Harold)

I jumped in to stop their quarrel and tried to calm them down.

I didn’t think they were this bad…

“Come on, come on, the party’s about to start, so hurry and get inside!” (Harold)

“Okay, finally free…” (Lloyd)

“Meat! Meat!” (Liliana)

Lloyd, relieved and patting his chest, and Liliana, repeating “meat,” were hardly what you’d call a couple about to attend a party together. Are those two really the protagonist and a romanceable character…?

“Hehe. Well, let’s go too.” (Alexandra)

“Yeah, let’s go.” (Harold)

I took Xandra’s hand and followed the others into the auditorium where everyone was waiting.
