T/N: Back to the mainstory~ :D

Subconsciously, I asked Leon for help.

"Rio!" I heard Leon shouting my na in telekinesis.

I was on the verge of collapsing, but Leon held in his arms. It was warm.

Yet, I could only hear my father's protests to the King, as my eyes were vacant.

"Your Majesty, I do not an to be disrespectful! However, I am opposed to this engagent. Such an engagent is unacceptable!"

"Alexis! How dare you speak without waiting for His Majesty's permission!"

"Brother-in-law! ...... No, Pri Minister! Were you aware of this betrothal? You know that a nobleman requires the consent of his/her family for marriage. Above all, why do I, the head of the family, not know about the engagent of the Crown Prince and my daughter!"

"I'll explain it to you later ....... But not now!"

My father and uncle are arguing. And the entire ballroom was in an uproar wondering what was going on.

"Rio! Rio, are you all right? Look in the eye, Rio!"

"Leon......."

Ahh, Leon's voice is so far away. Even though he's so close to .......

"What's wrong with you, Rio ......?"

The Crown Prince stooped to peer into my face. Leon blocked him, and glared at the Crown Prince.

"Rio is in such a situation. I want to let her rest a little."

"Leon, you cannot do that. Rio is going to announce her engagent to ."

"Kid! No, ...... Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince. This is not the right ti! Far from that, the Marquis de Grandeur, who is Rio's father, has never heard of the engagent. Why is that?"

Leon looked like he was about to grab the crown prince.

You can't, Leon. You don't have to do this.

I've always been protected by Leon. It's not just Leon. The other gods ...... my family ...... and Chris and Tojurou-san....... To avoid an engagent to the Crown Prince in this new life, I beca one of Leon's family mbers and changed my magical attributes.

I even went through the trials of the gods to beco stronger, and yet you, what are you doing? Rio!

You're always being protected by soone else. ...... You don't do anything on your own.

Marion was a strong woman who risked her own life to protect her people.

And I'm her reincarnation. ......

That's right. I want to stand beside Leon this ti!

Pull yourself together! Katariona Yurie Grandeur!

My eyes, which had been vacant, regained their light. I looked at Leon's face and smiled.

"It's okay, Leon.

"Rio?"

As soon as I had left Leon's worried arms, I walked to the throne and knelt before His Majesty the King.

"Permission to speak, Your majesty."

My voice was surprisingly calm.

After a beat, the king opened his mouth.

"You may raise your head, Katariona-sama. I will allow you to speak."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

I slowly raised my head and faced the King. His Majesty's stern face showed a hint of confusion.

"I'm afraid to inform you. The Marquises de Grandeur, including my father who is the head of the family, are hearing the news of the engagent between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and myself for the first ti now. We are extrely puzzled. We, the parties concerned, would like to file an objection to this engagent in accordance with the provisions of the law of the land regarding the engagent of noblen."

"My daughter is right. This engagent is news to . I rember that the first step in such a case is to be approached by the royal family."

Father knelt down next to and took up my words.

If the royal family wants to get engaged to a nobleman, the royal family will first contact the other side, and then the matter will proceed.

This ti, however, my family was not approached and the engagent was suddenly announced at the royal ball. It was too one-sided.

This is clearly against the national law of the Kingdom of Findalia.

The Code of Laws states that nobles may object to any violation of state law, even when dealing with royalty.

I didn't think that what I had learned in my previous life as a queen would co in handy here, but .......

I spun my words resolutely like a nobleman.

"Did His Majesty the King know about this engagent?"

His Majesty fell silent, and then closed his eyes. He seems to be pondering sothing.

I'm guessing that His Majesty the King and Her Majesty the Queen were told about the engagent by either the Pri Minister, my uncle, or the Crown Prince just before the event.

If His Majesty the King does not withdraw his declaration of the engagent, we are prepared to take him to court.

Eventually, His Majesty opened his eyes and clenched the royal scepter in his right hand. The sound echoed throughout the ballroom.

"It seems that there was a mistake in this engagent. I shall rescind my earlier declaration of engagent! I'm sorry for making such a ruckus, everyone. You may continue to enjoy this evening's ball."

I breathed a sigh of relief at the King's wise decision.

The people in the hall seem to be confused by His Majesty's apology.

I can see why. His Majesty's announcent of the engagent was a complete reversal.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ca to the throne after a delay and voiced his objections to His Majesty the King.

"Father ....... No, His Majesty the King. Regarding the engagent ......."

"Richard, desist! This is the king's decision."

Her Majesty the Queen, who had been sitting quietly next to the King, reprimanded the Crown Prince.

With shoulders shaking, the crown prince lowered his head and fell silent. Her Royal Highness the Queen is a frightening person when she gets angry.

His Majesty the King descended from his throne and called out to my father and uncle.

"Marquis de Grandeur. Pri Minister. I would like you to co to my office later."
