Archlesia Empire, the Imperial Castle’s Great Hall. At the venue of the party held after the Foundation Festival’s ceremony, prominent figures, including the Supre Gods and the Six Kings, gathered together.
However, Lilia, who disappeared during the ceremony, had not yet returned. Chris had a worried look on her face, but since she couldn’t delay the party, she prepared to give her starting speech.
At that mont, Fate, who was lying on a floating cushion, raised an eyebrow and sat up, seemingly reacting to sothing.
[……I wonder, is Lili-tan cursed or what?]
[Unnn? God of Fate, what are you———–!?]
Just as Chronois tilted her head in response to Fate’s mutterings, without any magical premonitions, Lilia suddenly appeared at the party venue…… “right next to Emperor Chris, who was about to deliver her opening speech”……
Needless to say, as she was about to give her speech, Chris was currently at the center of attention, and Lilia suddenly appearing right beside her would undoubtedly attract everyone’s attention in the venue.
And sadly for the two, both Chris and Lilia are quick thinkers. Right after Lilia appeared, Chris understood the situation, and Lilia, sensing the attention of the people around her, imdiately grasped the situation as well.
However, understanding the situation didn’t change anything, and the two of them exchanged looks of indescribable despair, and they could only turn away and look up to the heavens almost simultaneously.
But right after that, Lilia’s figure disappeared again…… and appeared right next to Fate.
[Ah~~ Sorry, sorry. I intended to teleport you to my side, but my coordinates were a little off~~]
[……No, please don’t worry about it.]
Again, Chris is intelligent. Upon hearing Fate’s apology in a casual tone, she imdiately grasped Fate’s intention.
The words Fate said seed to convey that Lilia’s disappearance during the ceremony was, in a way, because she herself teleported her…… and after Chris’s response, Fate glanced at Chronois, and after a slight nod from Chronois, she spoke up.
[Lilia, I apologize for having you act like a ssenger as I pleased. It posed various issues for , a Supre God, to leave the ceremony’s venue, but as you have been bestowed with my True Blessing, I saw you fitting to be my substitute. You must have been surprised by the suddenness, aren’t you? I’m sorry about that.]
[ ! ? N- No, being of service to Goddess of Ti-sama is an honor beyond asure.]
In fact, Fate and Chronois had anticipated this developnt to so extent beforehand. Or rather, they had a discussion to prepare a supporting response for Lilia when she returned during the ceremony.
Fate used her Authority of Fate to ensure that everyone present at the party venue could clearly hear Chronois’ current statent.
Chronois prepared an answer that would be difficult to refute before the barrage of questions began. Lilia disappeared during the ceremony because Chronois asked her to act as her substitute, and she smoothly executed the teleportation with the help of Fate, who is a Supre God capable of bypassing Teleportation Inhibitions.
Lilia seed to instantly grasp their intentions as well, feeling deeply grateful in her heart as she matched her words with them.
[Apologies, Emperor Archlesia. We’ve caused a slight fuss.]
[No, please don’t worry about it. With this, it seems that all the participants have gathered, so let’s start the party.]
As Chris nodded with a sowhat relieved expression, she began her opening speech for the party. In the midst of that, adjusting her voice so that it wouldn’t be heard by those around, Fate spoke to Lilia.
[Well, that was a disaster, wasn’t it, Lili-tan? Anyway, you should stay with us for a while after the party starts. If you stay with us, other nobles won’t be able to talk to you, right? Well, you can’t exactly stick with us all the ti though, so I guess we’ll split up after the atmosphere at the party calms down to so extent.]
[She’s right. Indeed, that way we can prevent a crowd from gathering around Lilia right after the start. If it’s a little while after the conversations have started, you should be able to handle the sporadic questions as they co up. I feel like dealing with those would still be rough though……]
[No, I’m truly grateful from the bottom of my heart. Fate-sama, Chronois-sama…… Thanks to you two, I feel really at ease.]
Indeed, if they take precautions for the ti right after the party starts, they can prevent a situation where everyone simultaneously gathers around Lilia.
Feeling relieved that the worst-case scenario was avoided, but still considering the challenges that lay ahead, Lilia gently placed her hand on her stomach.
Serious-senpai : [Ahh~~ I see…… Looking at it from the perspective of regular nobles, the difference in power is so vast that they wouldn’t realize Eden was the one who teleported Lilia. However, if they hear that it was done by a Supre God, they would likely be satisfied and find it plausible. Considering Lilia has received Chronois’ True Blessing and is known to have a deep connection with the God Realm, her interactions with the God Realm are likely to be known as well…… Fate really has grown remarkably.]
