Hm, so you do know about . For soone from Zilgus, I have to admire that. Konrad looked down at Kyle with a sowhat arrogant gaze. The reason I of all people called out to you is that
Brother Konrad, can you get out of the way for a second?
Right as Konrad wanted to say sothing, a young girl appeared behind him. Age-wise, she seed to be the sa as Kyle, and she was a beauty with noble facial features and a strong gaze in her eyes. She was clad in a luxurious dress, with ornants befitting the royalty that she was. Indeed, she is the only female child of the Emperor, as well as the youngest out of the siblings, Princess Angela.
A-Angela! Im in the middle of a conversation here!
Konrad seed shaken because of this sudden appearance, but Angela didnt bother with that in the slightest.
You must be Kyle-sama, yes? I always wanted to et you! Angela closed in on Kyle, her eyes sparkling with excitent.
Undoubtedly, that was an affectionate smile.
I like strong people! Hearing your heroic tale, I felt my heart racing. Thats why I needed to talk to you.
I-I see, thank you very much.
However, Kyle felt danger mixed in that gaze, so he reflexively stepped backward. Angelas expression was indeed filled with interest and positive affection, but there was no admiration or romantic feelings at all, more like she was a hunter in the wild. It felt like she was already thinking about what kind of trap to set up, and how to poison the drink. Of course, this was nothing but Kyles impression, but Kyle couldnt help but beco more cautious. However, as she was royalty, he also couldnt take any insolent attitude towards her. Finally, Konrad recovered from this sudden developnt and spoke up.
Angela! I am talking with him, so keep that for later
What are you doing, Big Bro and Angela?
Yet another individual joined. Naturally, it could only be another mber of the imperial family.
Maizar! Konrads face grew tense, and he seed displeased as he looked at Maizar.
Ah, Brother Maizar, rare to see you appear during an occasion like this. Angela seed surprised.
As Maizar was known to regularly skip these sorts of events, he gathered quite the amount of attention.
Just happened to. By the way, Big Bro Konrad, what are you doing?
Doesnt have anything to do with you! Step back! Konrad howled.
Thats right. Its rude to interrupt people when they are talking, Big Brother Maizar. Angela turned towards her older brother as well, but Konrad gave her a gaze of contempt.
However, right as he tried to speak up, another person appeared.
Whats this ruckus about?
Seran returned with a plate full of food, calling out to Kyle. In return, said Kyle gave him a harsh glare. There was a chance he might do sothing stupid and increase Kyles worries. Kyle sent him a Dont co here gaze, but Angela latched on way before that was conveyed.
My, you must be Seran-sama, yes? Angela spoke up with a happy voice, approaching Seran. I heard from Darius that you are very strong.
Um, thanksDarius who? Seran seed a bit bewildered at Angelas attitude, and tilted his head at a na he never heard of suddenly popping up.
Ah, Darius is the personal guard of Big Bro Eldorand. He was present during the eting this noon. Maizar explained, to which Seran rembered.
That guy, huh.
Both Kyle and Seran knew that he was quite strong and that he was equally checking them out from afar.
Yes, he is the winner of the previous Martial Arts Festival and one of the strongest swordsn in the entire Empire. Now that Darius has judged you as strong, I wanted to talk with you. Angela showed a similar gaze compared to when she spoke out to Kyle, relentlessly approaching Seran.
Right as Konrad was about to scream in anger once again at being ignoredthe last individual joined the group.
Will you give it a rest already! I was the first one to
What is this ruckus about?
With a sharp voice full of pressure ringing out, everybodys movent stopped abruptly.
AhDear Brother. Konrad lost all of his energy, looking at Eldorand.
With this, all the children of the current Emperor had gathered, which made all the attention drift towards them.
Angela, you should have so more respect for Konrad and Maizar. The sa goes for other people older than you.
My deepest apologies, Brother Eldorand. Angela showed a truly apologetic expression and apologized.
It seems like she earnestly listens to her oldest brother at least.
Sa goes for you, Konrad. You should know better than to scream like that in such a place.
That! No, Im sorry, its just as you said, Dear Brother. He wanted to rebel for a mont but imdiately lowered his head after. Ill cool my head, he said and walked away.
Who was that small fry anyway? Seran asked Kyle with a quiet voice.
Hes the second prince of the Empire, alright? Even if he seems like a weakling, dont say that out loud. Kyle did agree with Serans feelings and wondered what business Konrad had with him anyway.
Big Bro Konrad only listens to Big Bro El, huh. Watching his older brother stomp off, the youngest brother shook his head.
You should learn from himThe only problem is that he is a bit too diligent for his good. Eldorand let out a sigh but didnt say much to Maizar.
He seed to know that whatever he could say, it would fall on deaf ears.
Both my younger brothers and younger sister have been quite rude to you. I hope I can make it up to you.
No, dont worry about it. Kyle panicked and shook his head.
Having the candidate for the next emperor apologize to him was bad for his heart.
Then, let us continue. I had wanted to hear a few things from you two. Angela called out to Kyle and Seran again, although with a more calm voice than before.
Ah, too actually Maizar looked at Kyle, to which Angela protested with a pout.
Brother Maizar, as I said before, I ca first.
Yeah, I got it already. Ill co back once youre done. Maizar walked away with a troubled smile, seemingly being weak against his sister.
Then, Kyle-sama, Seran-sama, please tell lots of your stories!
AhhI dont mind. Seran scratched his cheek, seeming a bit bashful.
If youre okay with us, Kyle said while glancing over at Maizar.
His original goal had been to get more acquainted with Maizar, and he also seed to have sothing to talk about, but he figured that tagging along with Angela first would be better.
Thank you very much. Recently, I havent gotten many chances to calmly talk during these occasions. Angela looked around, showing sothing resembling a teasing smile.
She was currently a re 15 years old, and the ti to bind an engagent was slowly approaching. Normally, a princess under the Empire would have no right to decide on anything, but since both Emperor Benedix and her older brother Eldorand tended to spoil her, they wouldnt force it upon her, or so a rumor was going around. As a result of that, many participants of banquets like these were looking out to leave a good impression of her, hoping to one day have a chance with her.
However, Kyle and his group were related to Zilgus main actors present tonight. On top of that, since Eldorand broadly stated Please take your ti and entertain my younger sister in a way for everybody to hear, nobody would dare to break between them right now.
So, please tell how you defeated the dethe enemy.
As the involvent of demons was kept secret between a small group of people, Angela was forced to keep her question a bit vaguer.
Well Kyle couldnt exactly tell her everything, so he simply told her about the battle itself.
Angela herself seed interested in martial arts and the like, so she asked a lot of questions, and the conversation between the three was going just fine. However, a simple question from Angela brought ruin to the good atmosphere they had going.
You two are strongBut, I wonder, who is the stronger out of you two?
Thats for sure.
Without a single mont wasted, both Kyle and Seran answered at the sa ti. In that brief second, the atmosphere changed drastically.
