#Side Story 14. Even if a loyalist has no partner (4)
* * *
“…I think the atmosphere has finally gotten a little better.”
“Fortunately, the. “I almost thought the party that Tata had prepared was going to fail.”
Spacious banquet hall.
As the cold atmosphere gradually cleared up, Tata looked pleased as he saw young men and women everywhere talking intimately with each other or dancing to music.
Although I was already busy, I went through a lot of trouble preparing not only for this group meeting… but also for the party.
If the party had ended without any results, I would have wanted to cry.
“Hmm, it was a party that was meant to be a meeting in the first place, so I don’t know why the atmosphere was so bad…”
“A whale came in out of nowhere while we were playing with shrimp, so it’s natural that there’s no way the mating could go well.”
“yes? What whale?”
…Even more so in the fact that the person who almost destroyed this party with her own beauty doesn’t know English.
Varvara clicked her tongue as she saw Nadia tilting her head with her animal ears pricked up.
I don’t know, but because of Nadia, there will be one contestant out of ten who makes other men and women look like pumpkins.
Of course, if we put it that way, they were also an ecologically disturbing species.
“No matter what, I think it was a bit too much for Lord Morgan…”
That was why.
The reason Frea had a bitter smile on her face.
To be honest, I wouldn’t know if it was a serious marriage proposal, but it wasn’t much of a problem to accept a simple dance request.
Nevertheless, the reason why Dane was treated coldly was because there was a need to divert the attention of the participants.
In fact, thanks to Dane being destroyed, the participants who had been waiting for an opportunity to approach the girls were now interacting with other men and women.
It was a truly noble sacrifice.
Of course, I felt sorry for Dane, who became an unintentional victim, but…
“There is no need to worry. “It was the elders’ request that it would be good to tone down the pride of my relative, who ignores all confrontation.”
“The likelihood of Dane A. Morgan getting married in the next three years has increased by 13%, so there’s no need to feel sorry.”
Ellis’s calm words.
Cana agreed with a cold face.
In the first place, the decision to treat Dane coldly was decided when Ellis asked him to do so through a secret network of close associates.
I had no idea that Dane would commit suicide on such a grand scale.
However, Nadia, who had contributed the most to the self-destruction without any real intention, muttered calmly.
“Well, anyway, thanks to you, I can rest in peace. “I’ve been so busy these days that I haven’t had time to properly rest.”
“It’s been a while since I’ve been able to relax like this.”
“…As expected, you too are out of your mind.”
“It is natural given the circumstances.”
Tata and Preah, of course.
Even Ellis agreed with Nadia.
In this situation where manpower shortage was severe, even Ellis, who was considered the most perfect aide, could not avoid overwork.
The best one is Kana, who can handle more tasks than others through time manipulation.
And because they were sharing the work, Arbella and Barbara were in a better situation than the other close associates.
“Please don’t push yourself too hard.”
“If you work while tired, it becomes easier to make mistakes.”
“…what you say is correct.”
“Yes, you could make a big mistake…”
Why?
The reason those words touched my heart.
While the other aides all had complicated expressions as if they remembered something from the words of the two sisters.
Tata cleared his throat and continued speaking.
“From Tata’s perspective, the atmosphere seems to be suitably ripe, so why don’t you all look into it as well?”
“What do you mean look for it…?”
“Of course he’s a good groom.”
The reason the princesses sent their entourage to this party was not just to encourage young people to participate voluntarily.
This is because I wanted to give women who are busy with work a chance to meet a good partner.
“Uh… Are you a good groom?”
But Nadia actually blinked as if she had heard something very strange.
And after looking around the party venue.
He said with a more blank face.
“I don’t think it’s here?”
“…How do you know that just by looking at it?”
“Well, I don’t see a man who is richer or stronger than Dane.”
“…Are you really serious about that condition?”
“Of course I meant it…?”
How can a man who has no money and is not particularly trustworthy be considered a potential husband?
Tata was silent as he looked at Nadia who spoke indifferently.
She realized that the reason she dumped Dane so suddenly was not because of Ellis’ request, but because he genuinely did not meet her standards.
And that meant that Nadia did not see almost all of the partygoers as men.
“Well then, what about the others?”
Tata, who was not confident that he could find a partner who was at Nadia’s level, eventually turned his attention to other aides,
but…
“As I already said, I need a partner who can help me serve the princess.”
“…Is that all?”
“Well, if I had to add a condition, it would be better if the man had a good character enough to donate all his assets.”
In short, Freah must be a single-blooded, high-hearted beggar with no family to tie her to.
It was hard to find him at this party even if you looked for him with your eyes closed, but he was still better.
“I already told you who a good man is for me.”
“I am not asking about the Silver Dragon Princess’s plaything, but about your husband.”
“I am confident that I will 100% fall in love with any man who can always make the princess happy, right?”
Truly madness.
Kana has an ideal type that is captivating even by the standards of those close to her who adore princesses more than anyone else.
“I have no feelings for a man who is not as versatile as my princess, but as versatile as me.”
Also known as all-round perfection.
Excluding the princesses, Ellis is the most versatile and perfect of the Seven Dragons, and has strict standards for her spouse as well.
“First of all, I like a healthy man.”
“Health is good, but isn’t it also important to like how you smell?”
“Well, smell is important.”
“Wouldn’t it be nice to be considered attractive if it smells good enough to make you feel like a drug just by being in the same space?”
Even though the Green Dragon Clan has a sensitive sense of smell as they deal with poisons and medicines, even Barbara and Arbella place body odor as a priority.
Listen to all the conditions.
After slowly looking around at my aides.
Tata nodded with an expression of understanding.
‘This is bad.’
I think that even if there had been no request from Ellis, Dane would have been unable to avoid the fate of being left behind by his close associates.
Tata internally lamented.
A man just needs to have artistic sense and raise children well, but that’s because he has such a picky eye.
Even if they searched the whole world, it was doubtful whether they would find the partner they wanted.
Therefore, as an elder, she gave sincere advice.
“In Tata’s view, if you don’t lower your view of men, you are the type of person who will fight for yourselves for the rest of your life.”
“Is that what you, a single person, would say?”
“Do not worry. Tata is married because he is married to his job. So, unlike you, I will never become an old maid.”
Tata responded shamelessly.
Maybe it was because I was dumbfounded by his confident and even confident attitude.
Arbella said as if she was scolding herself without realizing it.
“Hmph, speak straight! It’s not that there’s no chance of becoming an old maid…”
Pew!
“Huh!?”
It was just a moment.
Barbara takes a picture of her side.
The two layers of telekinetic power covered his mouth and grabbed his throat.
To Arbella, who was frozen by the lightning attack that occurred without any of the other participants at the party realizing it.
Tata said with a smile.
“Miss Arbella. In Tata’s experience, there are words in this world that should never be said, even as jokes.”
“….”
“Do you understand?”
Contrary to his smiling face, Tata’s eyes are not smiling, and the cold gaze of the senior level experts does not even have a formal smile.
And for a moment, I broke into a cold sweat while looking at my sister’s eyes as if she were crazy about wanting to die.
After nodding slowly.
Arbella apologized for her mistake.
No, I was trying to apologize.
Sigh.
“…?”
Until I suddenly felt a sweet scent pass my nose along with the sound of the door opening.
Abrella unconsciously made a bewildered expression at that familiar, but never expected scent from this place.
It wasn’t just her.
All the other aides also hastily turned in one direction.
The entrance to the party that had just been opened…
or more accurately, the man who appeared there.
“Hmm, I guess I’m a little late.”
The women couldn’t help but widen their eyes when they saw their husband’s truly carefree expression.
* * *
Dane A. Morgan.
He was depressed.
All the young and outstanding late-stage exponents of the Seven Dragons were shown getting dumped again and again at the gathering.
No matter how arrogant the Golden Dragon Clan was… no, because he was arrogant, he couldn’t help but feel even more depressed.
That’s why he thought to himself as he drank alone in the corner of the party.
It’s not your fault.
I just happened to use poison.
If anyone else had approached his associates, he would have shown similar behavior.
It was self-consolation to satisfy the bare minimum of pride, but it was not just a mental victory.
In fact, this fact was proven by the fact that not only men but also women did not go near his close associates after that.
A princess who is the absolute leader of the Seven Dragons.
How noble and dangerous the person who assists them is.
This is because everyone was painfully aware of it just by watching for a moment.
That was why.
Right now at this moment.
The reason why all the participants, including Dane, had no choice but to watch the scene unfold from one side of the party with dumbfounded expressions on their faces.
“Are these the only chairs available?”
“Umm ah! There was definitely something more useful in the VIP room on the third floor.”
“I understand.”
Parging.
“Are you feeling uncomfortable? Oh, would you like some tea?”
“Alcohol is better than tea.”
“Okay then, would you like some whiskey? wine? Or…”
“If possible, I recommend this. “It is a traditional liquor that has an 86% chance of meeting your father’s taste.”
Grrr.
“Is there anything uncomfortable?”
“Just tell me whatever you need.”
A mature white-haired woman pulling out various objects, including a chair, and a blue-haired beauty helping her move through the space.
A peerless beauty with animal ears fidgeted and hurriedly brought a glass of alcohol, and a silver-haired maid politely poured alcohol into the glass.
The green-haired twins wait politely as if they will obey whatever you ask them to do without saying anything.
And…
“I’m sorry, but may I ask what brought you here?”
“Because even the princesses care about this event. “They were busy and couldn’t come, so I came by for a moment to make sure things were going well.”
“I’m truly sorry that you intentionally made a mistake because of us.”
…A subject who never bowed his head to other princesses other than Charlotte, even a relative who bowed in deference.
Until a moment ago, I was as brave as a lion.
Now it’s like a flower that fell off a cliff.
Or like a maid welcoming her master.
Dane couldn’t help but be entranced as he watched the girls eagerly serving Limon, even wagging their tails.
