The imperial palace, preparing to welcome the delegation from the Holy Land, was extremely busy.

It was the first time a newly enthroned holiness had visited the empire. There was also an order from the emperor, and Shane prepared a grand party because he made a satisfactory profit from the sponsored party.

The only quiet place in the noisy imperial palace was the princess's palace.

“Your Highness the Princess.”

Princess Certina, who was leaning on the bed, reacted.

The visitor was a handmaiden sent outside by Sertina, who was sick, to become her ears and eyes.

Although her body is not free, she wanted to become an emperor.

Believing that one day her body would recover, she released her maids to hear news of her outside.

“Okay, what happened?”

“Something unusual has happened in the social world lately.”

"which?"

“Archduke Lyndemere has started his outdoor activities.”

“The second older brother?”

An illegitimate child with the same father. But unlike Shane, Certina didn't hate him until he died.

'It's embarrassing.'

It was my father who made fun of the lower part of the body. It was pitiful for him to hate Schwartz, who was born as a result of that.

'It's understandable that my mother hates him, but.'

Jade, the emperor, was a beta, but the empress was an omega.

Her mother, the empress, died of omega fever a few years ago.

The empress used all sorts of tricks to kill Schwartz, including poison, assassins, and traps.

She even ordered Schwartz to send water to him even while she was on the brink of death due to omega fever.

Certina pretended not to know until the end.

Her maid, who was lost in her thoughts with her princess, opened her mouth.

“Is Archduke Lyndemere planning to become emperor?”

“That won’t be it. Even if it brings great benefits to the empire, the second older brother cannot become emperor.”

Although she herself, who has a disability in her legs, is unlikely to become emperor, Schwarz himself was unable to ascend the throne.

In a world where omega disappeared, the alpha of superpowers was no different from a time limit.

It's like a ticking time bomb that doesn't know when it's going to explode.

There were not one or two problems in making a person who would not be surprised if he died tomorrow as emperor.

"I'd rather make my second brother on my side."

It would be nice to have even one more ally.

***

It took a while for the warp to activate.

I rode in the carriage with Cassius, and as promised, I received his alpha pheromone.

Next, I tried the power of healing. This was to ensure that the alpha pheromone remained intact.

Unfortunately, Cassius's pheromone disappeared as soon as I injected the healing power into my body.

So, once again, I received a pheromone injection from him and rode the activated warp.

Using the warp, the movement speed became very fast, but when they arrived at the empire, the sun was slowly setting.

The empire gave up an entire palace in the imperial palace for the people of the Holy Land.

The priests chattered as they took out the dresses and uniforms that they had prepared in advance.

Cassius, who was still in the carriage with me said

“Tonight's party allowed priests to freely dress. Even though you're out of the world, you'll want to attend a ball at least once."

In the case of priests who did not have clothes to wear, Cassius paid for them.

It is also accompanied by accessories that do not spoil the formality.

Not by taxes from the Holy Land, but by opening Cassius' personal safe.

In the excitement of willingly paying a large amount of money, not just one or two pennies, he said with the priests of the delegation, 'His Holiness is the most wonderful!'

“You made a good decision.”

Priests are people too. They believe in God, follows him, and spreads things, but sometimes they want to play.

It's fortunate that I'm not a person who has a tight front and rear.

I looked out the window. Everyone was laughing.

It seemed that she was looking forward to the first prom she was attending.

“How about preparing Sonia separately?”

The priest who was to attend the ball prepared himself for departure.

However, since I had just joined Seonghwangcheong, I had a lot of work, so I didn't have time to prepare for the prom.

'I also had to prepare for the prom.'

Perhaps Lancelot will attend the ball. I had to meet my brother.

My family is full of atheists, so no one wants to go to a party in the Holy Land.

Unfortunately, at least one member of a high-ranking aristocratic family was required to attend this party.

In our family, where no one wanted to go, there was a high probability that Lancelot would be the one to participate.

In the original work, it was time to meet Schwarz while building a relationship while attending various balls and parties.

‘I should have said I was going…….’

I couldn't attend because I was distracted and couldn't prepare for the ball.

I can't go to a ball in a priest's uniform.

So she intended to go home and persuade her parents to go instead of Lancelot.

I was scratching my head.

“I wasn't ready. I guess I'll have to skip the prom.”

“Are you thinking of going to the prom?”

"yes."

After I go to the ball, Lancelot will be quietly at the mansion.

If that happens, there will be no entanglement between Schwarz and Shane, who will soon become obsessed with Lancelot.

“In case something like this happens, I have a separate dress for Sonia.”

At that, her eyes widened.

“If Sonia wants it, I’ll give you what I prepared.”

Cassius was a descendant of the main lineage, so he was a being similar to a god.

Maybe that's why it seemed more holy.

'Are you an angel?'

Not only his appearance is beautiful, but his behavior as well. It was like an angel who descended to save me from falling into temptation.

I was really happy.

“Sorry. I can’t smell Sonia’s pheromone scent.”

Both of my cheeks must have turned red now. Because it's tingling hot.

Her eye rims creased.

“I understand that you accept the offer.”

“Yes, thank you.”

“If possible, it would be more convenient to prepare at home. I will send all your belongings to Count Theodore's mansion.”

Accepting Cassius' offer, I set off immediately and arrived at Count Theodore's mansion.

'It's still the same.'

Seven years have passed since she left home to become a priest.

It's been quite a while, but Theodore Mansion has maintained the same appearance as when I headed to the Holy Land.

“Miss Sonia! Oh my gosh, are you?”

Her maid, who had been waiting for the goods and news sent by Cassius, welcomed her.

She was the maid who took care of me from a young age.

"Marie, Long time no see. how have you been doing?"

“Yes, I am doing well. Rather, the girl who only came to my waist...… Then she grew up and became an adult...… !”

Marie cried.

I was twelve when I left for the Holy Land. As the years have passed, my height has also grown.

“It’s not like this, come in quickly. The Count is waiting for you.”

"My father?"

“The master has gone to guard the imperial palace.”

It was an important event for the empire.

It is an indispensable position for the commander of the imperial knights.

After a long time, I met my mother and asked each other how they were doing. My mother, knowing my circumstances, did not hold me long.

Unlike Marie, my mother visited Seongguk herself and met me a few times. I exchanged her light greetings with my mother and looked around.

"Come to think of it, I can't see Lancelot?"

The titles in Lancelot's letters gradually changed.

First, ‘My dear sister’, then just ‘Sister’. At the end, he arrogantly wrote ‘blood relative’.

It seemed that being told not to meet the prince was so intrusive.

'I'm saying it's all good for you.'

I thought he might get angry and lock himself in his room.

“You mean Lancelot? He didn't know you were coming and left for the ballroom first.”

"yes? Do you still have quite a bit of time left?”

“There was someone at the imperial palace to meet, so he said he would go first.”

Lancelot, who has no girlfriends, goes to the imperial palace in advance and has only one person to meet.

'He went to see the prince!'

Do you want to see the prince that much?

It was to the point where it was difficult to tell which of the prince and Lancelot was the obsessive maniacs.

Since it had come to this, it seemed to me that it would be better to finish the preparations quickly, go to the ballroom, and bring Lancelot out.

“Why are you looking for Lancelot?”

“There is something I want to talk about when we meet in person.”

“You have to prepare, so you must hurry.”

Clap clap, as her mother clapped her hands lightly, the maids poured in.

“Get ready.”

“Yes, Countess!”

The well-trained maids rushed off to get bath water, dresses and accessories to change into.

I had to wait a while for the water to heat up.

her mother said

“Tell me honestly for once. What is your relationship with His Holiness?”

"yes?"

“What are you pretending not to know? Seeing that he even prepared a custom-made dress, he knows everything about your body size, right?”

“What are you talking about!”

A sound that anyone who hears will misunderstand!

“Oh, I only looked at it once, but it was just for you. Haven't you seen it many times?"

It was Cassius who was naked, not me.

He could find out my body size in other ways.

“It’s not like what mother thinks. You know, because he recently got a new suit for his priestess!”

After becoming an official priest, she was given a new Seonghwangcheong attire.

At that time, a professional tailor from Seonghwangcheong measured the body size and kept it.

“Umm, it’s Rosebell’s dress, which is hard to even reserve. Seeing that he prepared clothes like this, he must have a heart for you.”

Rose Bell?

It was a dress shop so famous that rumors even reached my ears as a resident of the Holy Land.
