-...What?"

"Beloved?" the servant thought, frowning.

Antares put his hand on the window and introduced himself again.

"I am the beloved of the mistress of this mansion. If you tell her that I have arrived, then you will understand everything. Go tell her."

"Ah... She's not at home right now."

- She is gone?"

"Yes... About an hour ago."

- Really?

"Leaving the mansion at this time of day. It's already quite late for walks, thought Antares.

Where did she go?

- To the party."

- Party? What's the party?

"I was told that she went to a party at the Imperial Palace. A friend came to her and they left together.

"A party at the Imperial Palace? With a friend? At this time, there is usually a coming-of-age party. Why did the moon go there?" Antares was very puzzled.

- Is Royer inside? If he's here, bring him to me."

"Are you talking about lawyer Royer?"

"Why are you asking such stupid questions?"

Antares was angry, but said nothing and simply nodded.

The servant bowed his head and went to the mansion to call for Royer. After a while the lawyer left.

"Antares!?"

Royer, who saw an unexpected guest in front of him, looked as if he saw a ghost in front of him. The servant who returned with Royer was a little surprised to see the lawyer like this.

Antares did not even greet Royer and immediately asked where and with whom the Moon went.

Where did Luna go? I heard that the Imperial Palace."

"Oh yeah... She went with Rosemary to the coming-of-age party."

- ... "

Antares was surprised. He thought something bad might happen to her just because she bought Rosemary's house.

But he did not suspect that they would go to parties together.

- ...What the heck?"

That was all he could say in response.

"Why, two years after she came of age, did she go to this party? Especially with Rosamary."

Royer also did not like this couple at first. But in the end he reconciled. Gaining courage, he said to Antares.

"Rosemary seems to like Luna."

- What?"

"From the moment they met, Rosemary and Luna became much closer."

- What are you talking about?"

Antares was annoyed and Royer understood this well. Regardless of who said it, it was nonsense to Antares.

- You may think that this is all nonsense, but it's true. Rosemary liked Luna so much that they both became close, and she asked Lady Luna to accompany her to her coming-of-age party."

After explaining the situation to him, Royer, to add credibility, hit the side of the servant, who was still amazed at what was happening, with his elbow. The servant, coming to his senses, nodded reflexively.

Even after hearing everything, Antares was silent for a while, thinking about something, and then lowered his head and examined his outfit.

Fortunately, he had prepared for the meeting with the Moon, so before arriving in the capital, he changed into neat clothes and cut his hair.

How long has it been since they left?

- A little."

- Turn the carriage around.

Antares said as he slowly opened the carriage door.

"Where are we going, sir?"

"To the Imperial Palace."

Suddenly Royer, having heard where Antares wanted to go, grabbed the open door of the carriage.

"Don't tell me you're going to the coming-of-age party!?"

- Why not?"

"Certainly! I know what will happen if you go there."

Royer wanted to say, but he did not have the courage to do so, so he decided to rely on the facts.

"How are you going to get in there without an invitation?"

"Just climb over the wall..."

"How are you going to climb over such a high wall!?"

"Then I'll just break that wall."

"What a fool! If he's really going to do this, I'll have to defend him in court again!" Royer's gaze was fierce.

Antares clapped his hands and removed Royer's hand from the door.

- Change servant. He tells about the private life of his master to the person whom he sees for the first time in his life," Antares said in the end.

(*Clap clap*)

Hearing the sound, the coachman hurriedly turned the carriage around.

Royer looked at the track of the departing carriage and said holding his head.

- This is none of my business..."

***

Arriving at the Imperial Palace, Antares stumbled upon a column of carriages trying to get into the Imperial Palace. All these carriages were rushing to the coming-of-age party. Invitations and documents were carefully checked, so they stood in a long queue.

Realizing that his sister's carriage was not in line, Antares looked at the outer wall of the Imperial Palace.

"Looks like it could be broken."

But if there are guards on the other side, there will be much more problems. Even if he takes care of the guards, it could make a fuss and attract unwanted attention.

Therefore, Antares looked for some documents and told the driver.

"Don't stand in line, go straight to the entrance and say that we came from the top of Antares."

- Good."

The coachman did everything as Antares ordered and drove up to the guard at the main entrance, driving around all the people standing in line.

The aristocrats in line stared at Antares's carriage in annoyance.

The guard looked at them with the same expression, asking what they were doing, so the driver hurriedly opened his mouth.

"I'm from the top of Antares."

- Top of Antares?

At the same time, Antares opened the carriage window and handed over the documents to the guard.

"I brought a gift for His Majesty the Prince, in honor of his coming of age."

He could not pass, saying only "I brought a gift to the prince," so he had to show documents and a gift.

- ... Gold of the highest standard. I want to give a gift to His Majesty that no one else has anywhere."

Antares continued by providing a document from the top of Antares. But this document was only about the sample and condition of the gold, and it could not be said from it that this was a gift for the prince.

"Something wrong with the documents?" Antares continued with annoyance.

"No, but... I was not notified that a person would arrive with a gift to His Majesty..."

- Therefore, this is a gift, because they are given unexpectedly. Therefore, I want you to get out of the way and let me in."

However, the guard was adamant, because on the day of the coming-of-age ceremony, all guards were given strict orders to refuse strangers.

Since the guard did not want to let Antares through, he opened the box and showed its contents.

"His Majesty has become an adult, so he wishes to drink his first wine from the very best glass, so get out of the way."

In the box was a golden wine glass. The upper part of the glass was made of glass, and from the middle it turned into gold. It was actually a present for Luna, not a prince.

So the gift story was a pure lie, but the documents were real.

"What the hell are you doing there!?"

On top of that, the queue behind Antares had already been standing for a very long time, and one of the nobles behind him was very angry, so the guard had to let Antares through.

- Good. Then I can check your identity."

- Top of Antares, Antares Vincent."

Antares answered, showing a family brooch.

- Drive through.

Antares smoothly drove into the imperial castle, got off the carriage and went inside.

- Where is the banquet hall?

- Main hall on the 3rd floor.

One young noblewoman who stood aloof answered.

Antares checked the stairs and tried to climb up, but someone called out to him.

- Hey! Wait a minute!"

When he turned his head, it was a young lady giving him directions. She approached Antares with a displeased expression on her face.

"You got in here out of line, didn't you?"

She was very annoyed, so Antares decided to apologize so as not to draw attention to himself once again.

- I apologize. I have an urgent matter here, but I understand that my action was wrong, I apologize again. "

Antares replied with his gorgeous smile.

He skillfully used his beautiful appearance in such moments. So problems were solved much faster and easier than making scandals.

"...!"

No wonder the young noblewoman blushed, barely hiding her embarrassment.

Bowing, Antares quickly climbed the stairs. The lady, without having time to say a word to him, shouted after Antares.

- Hey Hey! Say your name! My name is Flora!

She didn't know if he heard her, but she already remembered his face, so she was glad for that too.

Flora waved her fan, trying to cool her flushed cheeks, and then slowly climbed the stairs after Antares.
