Chapter 238 - Engagement Banquet (1/2)

Year 4014 Mist Kingdom, Sky Knights Base - Castle 8:30 PM

As Pupillam finished putting on the royal knight attire, she takes one last glance at her reflection in the mirror. Before slipping some extra knives inside her attire and locking the door behind her. It's time. Upon reaching the end of the hallway, she spotted two people. Kyouya and Carlo looked over and nodded. The two wore unusually serious expressions on their faces tonight. Pupillam understood right away that the Prince must have told them. That's right; they have to be on their complete guard tonight.

Upon reaching the hall, Pupillam's sweatdropped as she glanced at her surroundings. This is way too fancy, why is the ceiling tiles suddenly made out of diamonds? And the table that's gold isn't it? Even if she is a member of a wealthy family now, this is really overdoing it in her opinion.

It's been a while since she last saw this scenery though. She left her household to serve the Princess, as one of her close aides - but then she lost her during a mission and met that person and joined the Knights group. Even when she found him, she didn't return to him right away. Because by that point, she found herself not being able to leave those two alone. This will be the first grand ball where she isn't patrolling outside.

Spotting that person, she and the other two lined up behind him. She glanced over and spotted Prince Allen alongside one aide. He really trusts that guy, doesn't he? Yet she also noted Carla at the back alongside a guy with black hair. He also knows that it will get dangerous. Where are those two? Their members of royalty so they should come out here. Still, her gaze remained on Amakaze; she wonders... .why, he has such cold looking eyes even though he is always smiling.

”Now presenting. The roko first princess Roko Camelia.”

Snapping her attention back to the door, a beautiful girl with blonde curly hair entered the room. . . That dress is really extravagant, isn't it? Murmurs filled the room instantly.

”I heard she loved dressing up. I guess her habit hasn't changed at all since coming here.”

”She just turned 17 years old. Now if she bares a son, the other mistresses child's won't matter.”

”Oh, but did he not propose to Lady Pupillam?”

”The weapon makers daughter?”

”She attended in the Knight a tire tonight, but her beauty is still reflected.”

. . Beauty huh. Although she hears that compliment towards herself often, Pupillam never knows how to respond to it, even when she's wearing the knight outfit, she stands out? A deep sigh escaped her lips; she really wanted to refrain from standing out as much as possible.

”It's a pleasure to see you again, Celica-dono.”

Celica extended her hand out, and Amakaze kissed it.

”The pleasure's mine… she glanced over at the two prince's and seemed to be searching for someone. Yet quickly turned her attention back to the two princes.

”I am the third Prince of the Wind Kingdom current throne, Allen, I am honored to meet you.”

”Likewise....Is the second Princess not in attendance tonight? I wanted to greet her since I heard she took great care of my Lord before.”

. . 'great care' could it be possible that she knows about it? This woman is that guys fiance.

”She will not be present tonight. I will see to it that your granted time to speak with her at tomorrow's event.”

Celica nodded and turned to Prince Zenith, ”I am honored to meet you once again, Princess Celica.”

”Ah, you must be Prince Zenith. Yes, it has been quite a while. I have not seen you since I was a child. I have changed a lot in the past five years, haven't I?”

”Yes, you have become even more of a beauty.”
