Fireworks displays, cabaret shows, and even a dinner that Ronald was looking forward to.

Throughout the party, Ronald was under Luna's gaze that didn't take a second off of his eyes, and he was even more tormented than he had been at several banquets.

But Ronald's mind is full of the 'secrets' he just knew.

I don't have this in mind, but it's hard to keep my mind set in this particular situation.

So, after dinner.

Kostadt, who noticed that Ronald was not in the right state, spoke:

"Are you not feeling well, sir?"

"You don't seem to be in a state for tonight's banquet, and you didn't even react when Il came. You...... Need my help? ”

“……”

Ronald looked up at Kostadt's reminder.

Just across from them, Grad's guests, Il was chatting with a few [Nikos] nobles, and many people around looked at this guy with admiration.

With Ronald's exaggerated hearing, he can even hear something.

"Miss Eir, have you really defeated such a terrible monster in the Yoiz Forest!"

"Needless to say!"

"Before I was taken away by the boss, I was the overlord of the Yoiz Forest, even those mysterious side schools that were active in the forest, I could only hide when they saw me!"

"In that case, why did you leave with Ronald?"

"Well, I don't want to."

"But the boss has a condition that I can't refuse, isn't there really no way?"

"So what ......is this condition?"

"This condition is deeply related to spiritualism, and it is difficult to explain—"

“……”

Seeing that Il was chatting happily there, but didn't really say anything, Ronald was a little relieved, and then turned his head and continued to face Kostadt:

"Kostadt, you don't have to worry."

"I'm fine, it's just ......"

Bang Bang Bang –

"Good evening, Mr. Ronald."

Ronald was about to continue saying something, but several footsteps approached at this moment.

Then it sounded, naturally, it was the young female voice that Ronald had only heard last night.

"I didn't expect us to meet again so soon, it's really a surprise~~"

“……”

Ronald twisted his head a little stiffly in his neck.

He found that Luna, led by Claudia, had come to his table.

"Two, two, good evening?"

Ronald greeted with an extremely embarrassed face.

It was at this point that Claudia caught the change in Ronald's expression, and then flashed a wicked smile.

Immediately, Her Royal Highness the princess spoke in a raised voice:

"Huh? Ronald, do you two know each other? ”

"Lady Leticia, please let me get to know her daughter and the crew of the ship, and the first thing that came to my mind was you, the powerful holder of the original text. It turns out that I thought too much. Beauty and heroes have known each other for a long time, so why should I do this more? ”

“……”

Claudia, this guy is getting revenge!

Her own reminder just now made Her Royal Highness lose her temper for a short time, but before the night passed, she found a chance to return it to herself.

Ronald was convinced.

With Claudia's insight and social experience, it's impossible not to see Luna's current state, coupled with the guy's knowledge of herself......

There is no doubt that Claudia did it on purpose!

For a moment, a wave of regret welled up in Ronald's heart, he never expected Claudia to take revenge for the night.

Gu Jiao

"Hahaha-"

Claudia smiled suddenly.

Seeing Ronald's uncomfortable appearance, she was satisfied enough. Claudia, who is good at grasping proportions, knows that she should stop here, so she waves her hand and says goodbye first:

"Okay, I'm not going to bother here."

"Since the two of you know each other, let's talk casually, I still have to complete my mission."

When the words landed, Claudia put on a smiling face that belonged to her princess again, and turned her head to integrate into the social atmosphere again.

Ronald watched as she re-entered the negotiation mode.

It is inevitable that there will be some emotion in my heart.

Even if he could learn the abilities of a person like Claudia, I am afraid that there would be no day when he would really implement them.

"It's really worthy of Her Royal Highness the princess of Grad." At this time, a voice exclaimed next to Ronald.

"Claudia is really good." Ronald also subconsciously responded.

“……”

The words slipped out of his mouth before Ronald realized that something was wrong.

As a result, he turned his head to look.

Luna was looking at herself faintly:

"Compared with a child like me, who was born in a small country and is only 14 years old, is the gap still too big?"

"Dew...... Philia, I didn't mean that. ”

The moment Luna's name was about to blurt out, Ronald immediately changed her name. And on the occasion now, he and the girl in front of him are not in the same situation as before, so Ronald's tone has also changed.

"Neither you nor Claudia, I don't look at it with any special eyes."

“……”

Luna was very happy when she heard Ronald change his name very carefully. But when she heard the back, the girl was silent with a bitter expression.

In this way, the atmosphere sat a little stiff next to Ronald.

After simply dealing with the two [Nikos] nobles who came to talk, Luna finally spoke to Ronald:

"Ronald, your Grad's fleet should be a few days away, right?"

Ronald replied dryly:

"The fleet is expected to stay at [Nikos] for a total of seven days."

"Seven days ......," Luna whispered, before continuing, "then you'll be here for five days, except today." ”

"Ronald, you're going to live in the castle all these times, right?"

“……”

Luna stopped Ronald with a question.

He thought about it, and felt that no matter how he answered, it didn't seem appropriate, and he almost lost his ability to negotiate for a while.

At this moment, Kostadt behind Ronald couldn't sit still.

The maid didn't feel much at first when she watched things unfold, but when she noticed that Ronald was hesitating on the issue, Kostadt couldn't help but interject:

"Sir, if you are going to deal with all kinds of things. For the next five days, I suggest that you stay with me in the castle, which will be very convenient. ”

How could Ronald not hear what Costadt meant?

This is the maid who is afraid that she will run away again!

Normally, Ronald can handle it, but today there is a Luna watching by the side.

That's a perfect time!

But maybe it's the endless road -

Ronald was silent for nearly half a minute, and then, like an angel, Claudia brought him salvation.

I saw that Her Royal Highness the princess was back here, and then asked Ronald:

"Ronald, do you have time now? Let's go back and discuss some important things. ”

Ronald almost jumped up from behind the table:

"Yes, I have a lot of time!"

"Let's go right away!"
