[At Estel's castle]

[Muse point of view]

A sudden request from our beloved and trusty wondering saint, Saint Louis. He wanted to call us. Maybe it's because he found something of significant and wanted to relay it by himself. I could only wonder what will he said. For all I know, they might already find the Holy Beast of Wind, The Rampaging Garuda. If that's the case, that's indeed a major news. But...

(Given how Seo Ah and the other departed only the other day, isn't that scenario a little bit too good?) [Muse]

Not that I am unhappy. If they really find the holy beast, we will all feel happy for them, but I get the feeling that it is something else.

"You really take your time, walking slowly" [Liyana]

"Just thinking about something" [Muse]

"From the look and sound of it, it isn't something related to your wedding. Maybe regarding what the saint will convey I suppose" [Liyana]

"That's right. Any guess?" [Muse]

"Truthfully, not even a single idea came across my mind. But I guess it's something serious" [Liyana]

"And why is that?" [Muse]

"Well, I suppose you already know that Saintess Rumia will be call as well. That's typical and a norm by now. But, Lily just told me that she, Kadeus, Rafiah and Claude will be attending it as well. Well, they will use the phone at the orphanage, so we wouldn't see them in person" [Liyana]

"That adds up more mysteries" [Muse]

So, the four of them are called as well. Now I'm curious. Maybe they're going to represent the orphanage in making a decision since Rean and the other aren't here. I heard that they already enter the beast challenge dungeon where the Holy Beast of Earth reside. But if that's the case, why did Kadeus and Lily

"Aah..." [Liyana]

(And someone of a nuisance come) [Muse]

"Don't bother hiding it. I know for a fact that none of you find it pleasant when I am around" [First prince]

Just when we are having some call with Saint Louis. His timing, if his intention is to disturb us, is perfect. Knowing the prince, I'm sure that isn't the case. At least not the first prince, but for the now in prison second prince, yeah, that will totally be him

"By the way, regarding your submission to become a commoner, I rejected it" [First prince]

"Your highness! With all due respect, the king already approved it long ago, and..." [Muse]

"And I simply rejected it. You're a noble, and act like one you suppose. More so when you're marrying one of the ten heroes" [First prince]

"Is this your attempt on getting the ten heroes on your side" [Muse]

"Look it however you like. The fact stand that you're now a noble" [First prince]

"I suppose I should just discuss this with the king himself. Now if you'll excuse me" [Muse]

"You can. That's your right after all. But know this, whatever will you do, so long as you're trying to get married to a hero, I'll be sure to drag you back into the nobility. The people need to find the trust in the noble back after all" [First prince]

The people did trust the noble. No, I should word it more correctly in my mind, the people did trust the noble and royal like Princess Diana. Even the one supporting you show sign of approval that Princess Diana is doing a splendid job. It's you the one that's hard to accept the fact. Even if you don't want to see the example inside the country, there are Princess Nurhaliza from Malsia, King Leogris of the Beastman Kingdom, even the Demon kingdom King Druser and his new wife. Not to mention, Kiserre, who is currently on political turmoil (because of the rising tension between old and new follower), you'll find both side still respecting Queen Rinz

"And you, Liyana. If you didn't want to marry me, that's fine. However, I wanted you to get along well romantically with the male heroes, especially the demon priest or the noble lion. This will improve diplomatic relations between..." [First prince]

"Muse. Liyana. Let's go. They're waiting for you" [Diana]

((Thank goodness)) ""Yes!!"" [Muse, Liyana]

"Trying to run away. That's fine, but remember what I said just now. You nobles have responsibilities to uphold especially at this perilous times. A small sacrifice or two is expected of yours" [First prince]

Sigh... Not only me sighing, even Liyana and her minion of god of death older sister, Linda release a long sigh. The first prince, he's impossible to reason with. No, I said almost impossible, since he does have a lenient tendency sometimes, so long as it's benefiting his ideal of nobility

"You guys really are having it hard. Sometimes, I'm glad that I am born from a knight family" [Qis]

"And sometimes, I find myself jealous of you, but I know how you struggle to achieve this freedom of yours" [Diana]

"This might come out as negative, but somehow, I'm glad I'm death. Well... technically speaking" [Linda]

With that conversation, all of us went to Princess Diana private room, and Principal Alice come a few moments late. I'm not sure why she's call, maybe just to give an opinion or two. Nonetheless, I'm glad she missed out the whole shenanigans happening just now with the first prince, otherwise, who knew which nobles/heroes will the first prince forces her to get married with

"TESTING. Testing" [Rumia]

(Her voice, it's as loud as ever... I still can't get over the fact that such petite cute saintess can produce such loud sound) [Lily]

"We heard you. O Saintess Rumia." [Kadeus]

"Looks like everyone are here" [Rafiah]

"And O Saint Louis finally connected with us" [Claude]

"Thank you everyone for accepting my sudden request. Before we continue, there is someone that I would like you to see" [Saint Louis]

""It's been awhile, all of you"" [Lara, Nara]

"!" [All]

That's!! And behind them, a silhouette of a vampire girl, which makes Princess Diana hidden vampire guards suddenly emerge from her shadow

"Alicia! Is that you?" [Alaric]

"Alaric?" [Alicia]
