IAWWMSP Chapter 465 – Dance Hall and the Black Mask

As the gentle melody started to flow,with one another Since most in attendance were children born from noble families, naturally, those who couldn’t dance were just few in numbers Attendees froht the basics so that they could at least dance

It was a masquerade ball, but it was up to the person whether they’d dance or not But, since there would be chances that you could get invited to a dance, not being able to do so would not only lead to you not having fun, but embarrassment as well towards your partner That said, Yus fro, we had the attendees from Brunhild be able to at least dance at thenoere the few noble children from each country that were invited by others to dance with them, while everyone else were either in the vicinity of the hall or outside the garden observing the state of affairs

And since everyone earingthearden

However, it see together Well, it h

“Still, there sure are a lot of people chatting here and there, huh Oh, isn’t that one of ours?”

The King of Linea, as standing next todownstairs frolass with a handle Apparently, not only Linea, but as well as other countries, appear to have so brooch or cufflinks, for example

“Cloud-sa at the partners, you know?”

“Ah, no I didn’t mean to do that I was just a little curious”

When his fiancee rebuked hilass in his hands to me

The fiancee in question was the First Princess of the Palouf Kingdo King of Palouf, King Ernest, and will becoaudy princess but a calentle one

As the princess said those words, I glanced around and noticed that not only the King of Linea, but the others were peering at the dance hall downstairs as well

Well, I guess it’dthese many attendees were their families and acquaintances So, it’d be impossible for theaze around the whole second floor, I saw all of the i to each other while clinking their chaed a feords of introductions and greetings to the others before as well

The Reverse World… or rather the Western Continent’s nobles and royals were not acquainted with the royals fro the only one who’s most involved with the countries from the western continent, I had to play the role of et to know each other better Honestly, it was such a pain in the ass, but it’s still part of my work, so I properly did it anyway

Well, I was done with all the introductions, so I’ it easy

I watched Princess Lucienne as she turned her gaze around the reception hall

“It’s been such a long tie”

“Well, he’s been with adults all this ti to the at the sight of her little brother, the young King of Palouf, with his fiancee Rachel, happily discussing with the first and second princes of Lemza and Alba of Mismeed, the first princess Lilac and second princess Milnea of the Kingdom of Hannock, and the former first prince of the Gardio Empire who is now the count of Lowe, Lucrecion

They were all at the saht be that because they were of the salanced around and spotted the new King of Dauburn, the Nation of Fire, Akee of Zadonia, the Nation of Ice, Frost talking to the recently crowned Knight King of Lestia, Reinhardt, who is also my brother-in-law They were all comrades-in-aroes for h

Yun queens and chatting with the about how life is for a queen, since they’re now basically the same as them Elze, Linze and Yae, who clearly did not kno to act were showing stiff suess it can’t be helped since they weren’t used to this kind of occasion, but I’h tirouped together and appeared to enjoy conversing with one another So far, the event appears to be going so take a look around on our own?

After a few songs ended, I parted with the King of Linea and the others and headed to the balcony Froarden Men were nervously trying their chances on wo a cup of tea under the open air They see the smoothly here as well But, that’s that…

It would be rude of e to see that all the kings ere muscle-brains, naret were all gathered here in the balcony discussing so with one another I didn’t think they were the type to be interested in so at the other attendees downstairs cheerfully for a while now though Are they up to so?

“Oh, Grand Duke! Have you come to spectate as well?”

“Spectate what?”

The Beast King of Misne in his hands, as I walked into the balcony What exactly e supposed to spectate? I haven’t booked any perfor about spectating the attendees’ romantic development As I looked around once more, for some reason, there were a few of Refreese’s healers on standby Huh? Did so happen?”

“Not quite, ’s just about to happen”

The King of Felsen s

“It’s the sort of stuff that happens throughout these kind of gatherings I think it’s about ti on at all As I isting ret tapped ht to see him in a tuxedo instead of his usual Native Ah, since he’s always been ood no ot seven wives

“I take it that the Grand Duke have not been to gatherings like these before, no?”

“Well, of course… I was an adventurer before so… But, I at least had attended fa, and because they are young, they don’t yield And when two of the same kind meet each other, well”

As if to interrupt the words of the King of Egret, I heard voices co from the courtyard What now?

“Oops Looks like it has started”

“What do you mean it has started?”

When I looked down at the courtyard froret, twoat each other Both of the the to fight?”

“Well, yes These kinds of things are always bound to happen in these kinds of gatherings Though, when it beco ht, but there are times when it even turns into a duel”

“A duel!?”

Wait a sec! Isn’t a duel a bit too far? Wouldn’t they end up killing each other then!? That sounds pretty bad!

“Don’t worry, staking one’s life at these kinds of duels are as expected, taking things a bit too far In cases like this, we’ll siainst one another, with the condition that whoever wins or loses does not hold a grudge against the other, and breaking it means you’ll be shamed by your peers”

“Set some rules? Does that ainst one another in a racing game, they would?”

“H but, I’ve heard of a case where they settled it in a horse racing game See? It’s quite peaceful, ain’t it?”

Certainly, it see them compete with their lives on the line Still, I understand that when two parties are at odds with one another, it’s preferable to settle their differences through ain is peaceful

“However, we’re probably going to have theht”

“Just what the hell does ‘peaceful’ means to you?”

What the hell? That’s no way in hell peaceful! Before I knew it, the King of Felsen, as standing besidehysterically

“Because they are young, having theainst each other in this manner is preferable They had to let all of their frustrations out rather than keep them bottled up It’s for this reason that the healers are also on standby”

So that’s why all of you athered here!? damn, they’ve even prepared this much Still, are these situations really a coiven the large nuht or tas almost unavoidable

“Those ht?”

“Eh? Ah, yes, that’s right Even if you bu, it still won’t come off, unless I uttered the predetermined keyword for it”

“Then, it ht a prince with these hts like these always end up with soood Status is irrelevant in a fight between men What matters is that you press forth onto the path you’ve chosen with your fists”

The Beast King of Mis at each other as they looked down below the garden

Are you really fine with this?

After that, a third-party observer ca ht to ensue, but then, both young ether with the observer, vanished into the depths of the garden, followed by soallery

“Oho, see nuisance to the other guests, so they took their fight souess it’s tiuys really just wanted to rubberneck at fights like these, huh?”

“Hahahaha! The main event that you hts between men, rather than some silly romance that isn’t even certain to develop between two individuals”

All of the er to watch the fight, leaving me, as befuddled behind

I’h…

“Geez…”

Soht, butfun conversing with one another Many of thehts on potential partners were also busy trying to get a good iroups where one wo faith several men and vice versa Even while the effects of the masks make it impossible to determine how a person looks or what features they have, there were people ere naturally born with the characteristics that make them stand out even if they lack the appearance Conversation, mannerism, demeanor, and how one handles the situation… These characteristics will eventually show fro their real personality

“Eh?”

Suddenly, ure in the courtyard below ainst a tree in the courtyard, looking doay frooers If that had been all, I would have assumed she was a “wallflower,” a shy woman who couldn’t seem to make a move at a party However, this person definitely did not suit that description I knew that the reason why she was standing alone there was because she was busy h speed with the phone in her hand

Dr Babylon’s iven to the hands of a few select people Only the leaders of each nation, their closest associates, and my friends have thest themselves on the second floor, there were only a few people at the party, not counting the people fro alone over there is Princess Ririel

Her fingers continue to dance on the phone without stopping, giving off a disturbing aura No, you’re supposed to be dancing with the others inside! This girl is definitely writing that nasty book of hers

If the E with your phone like that, he’ll definitely take it away again You sure haven’t reflected on your actions, huh?
