A few days later.
Days had passed since the banquet began in earnest. The banquet was scheduled to last seven days. Those invited to the banquet were high-ranking Aurarian nobles and heroes who had contributed to the war.
They hadnt been to the banquet in the last few days, but today, the four of them had to attend.
As todays banquet was to be attended by the Emperor himself.
So of the people gathered discussed why Oscar, Kalix, Griffith, and Roo ca to Auraria.
Those who take it positively liked it, saying, Its a great opportunity to prove the reputation of our empire.
On the other hand, so questioned, Didnt you co to search for information about Auraria?
In fact, the four of them were even thinking of killing the emperor if he was the culprit.
So it was better to avoid suspicion for the ti being.
For that reason, they wore fancy robes and quietly attended.
People glanced at the four exceptionally tall and handso young n.
There were noble young ladies who were wondering whether to make conversation, but they hesitated due to their auras, which made it difficult to talk recklessly.
It was as if there was a transparent wall built around them.
Inside the banquet hall with elegant music, an unexpected viewer was gazing at the four young n.
A handso young man nad Ruth had his eyes fixed on them.
What the hell are they doing in Auraria?
Ruth was also the leader of the Dragon slaying squad, but unlike Cedric and Damian, he had a good relationship with the four of them.
At least, they stopped by to say hello before.
Looking closely, the four of them seed so serious that it was difficult to approach them all.
Ruth contemplated whether or not he should go to the president and talk to him.
Boom boom.
At that ti, they all heard a knight thumping on the floor with a cane.
Soon the big door opened and the twin brothers, Cedric and Damien appeared in colorful robes.
And in the middle.
Julianna!
Ruth had a lot of conversations with Julianna yesterday, having reunited with her after a long ti.
In the process, he felt special emotions flowing back and forth.
Especially how glad he was that Julianna had been waiting for him, too.
At that mont, Ruths gaze suddenly turned to the four young n.
!
Ruth felt his heart pounding all of a sudden.
Those four eyes were directed up the stairs. A very intense look. Soon they began to talk about sothing.
No way
Ruth had one suspicion.
Is it because of Julianna that they ca to Auraria?
That couldnt be the case, but he wondered, what if.
This was because of Cedric and Damian who had joined late.
They always carried a portrait of Juliana in a necklace pendant, often showing off to warriors from each empire.
Each ti they did that, Ruth didnt like it.
No matter how young they were, she was a woman he liked.
Could they have seen her portrait?
A corner of Ruths mouth went down disapprovingly.
That was certainly a possibility.
Her portrait was so beautiful that no one could take their eyes off her. Of course, she was more beautiful in person.
Anyway, it was worth enough to co and see the real thing.
It was a joke, but so people actually said, Shouldnt we go to Auraria to see Princess Juliannas face?
But he never imagined that they would co here for that reason.
I an, they are n too
Ruth felt nervous, along with unnecessary jealousy.
He adjusted his dress and walked towards Julianna, who ca down holding her brothers hands.
Julianna.
Ruth.
Looking at the two smiling eye-to-eye, Cedric and Damian coughed disapprovingly.
anwhile, Roo murmured as he watched them.
Is there any chance those princes are the culprits?
Maybe they are behind it, but they probably didnt poison it themselves. They would have been outside the Imperial City at the ti. When Griffith answered sincerely in his own way, Roos face crumpled.
I hope that is so.
Lets kill them together. Roo murmured little after little.
There was a reason why he went so far against Cedric and Damian princes.
When it was first known that those four were heading to Auraria, Cedric and Damian visited them and said, Why are you going to Auralia? Is there sothing you want?
Maybe they know they wont be welcod back ho?
Demien, standing beside Cedric, scoffed rudely and he nodded.
Huh, could be. Or maybe Did you see the portrait of our Julianna too?
Are you serious?
Damien reacted very sensitively to Cedrics speculation.
Imdiately after that, a fight suddenly broke out and the conversation was cut off.
Unlike the other three, who had been ignoring in the first place, Roo still rembered the conversation.
Who wanted to see Julianna again? It must be them.
As Roo murmured, Kalix pulled him back and asked angrily, Stop talking nonsense. Did you do more tracking?
Roo narrowed his brow at that question.
Dont you get tired of asking that question for days? Do I look like Im playing? Why dont you just keep your mouth shut when youre doing nothing?
As if familiar with Roos scolding, Calix shrugged his shoulders.
Roo sighed and continued his words.
It cannot be traced. Looks like the magic stone has been removed or sold.
Roo took out his pen in his pocket to try again as he rembered it.
When he touched the place where the blue magic stone was driven, an invisible magic ca out of Roos fingertips.
And then
Huh? Wait a minute.
Roos eyebrows jumped up.
