Arcturus walked side by side with Liebert and Evelyn in their midst.
“I heard good and bad rumors about Young Master Arcturus of Religion. But despite the unfounded bad rumors, it seems true you are a very handsome person.”
Liebert continued to flatter since they were together and it left Arcturus exhausted.
‘What bastard forgot to welcome the other guests? Why is he so interested in me?’
Even so he was quite amazed that Liebert easily let go of the formalities. Well, Arcturus if not so fond of formality so this is comfort.
“You're too complimentary. Silver shines so brightly, that's what you look like in my eyes, Young Master Liebert.”
“Ha ha ha, it's a pleasure to meet you.” Liebert looked at Arcturus with probing eyes. “Omong by the way I heard that the territory managed by Mr. Shin suffered a monster attack.”
“Yes, but you don't have to worry, Young Master Liebert,” Evelyn interrupted with a gentle smile. “Kakak Shin has already cleared it and it only takes time until everything recovers.”
“So so? So you're replacing his presence here, Arcturus?”
“Actually he forced. I don't want to go out at all, but because of the circumstances then I have to budge on egoku.” Arcturus made a complicated and troubled face.
“Confidential bag.” Evelyn conveyed through telepathy.
Arcturus continued to ignore him and observed around while talking to Liebert.
Liebert also observed the surroundings with interest and smile, “It seems that there are more people who are curious about you more than me.”
The other nobles looked at Arcturus curiously. Some seemed to want to come and greet him, but Liebert's presence clearly made them awkward to interrupt.
“Yes, this might be a little hard for an anti-social like me.”
“Haha, you have to get used to it,” Liebert said before staring at the two people who were in the corner. “Omong by the way is that masked woman your bodyguard?”
Arcturus looked in the same direction and found Alda silently staring.
“Ya, is there a problem?”
“Nothing. It's just that he keeps investigating me.”
Arcturus smiled wryly, “Sorry for that, he does not understand much about these kinds of things.”
Arcturus explained that because he never came out of the residence and interacted with other nobles, Alda was not required to understand it.
“Hahaha, don't worry. I was just a little surprised. Moreover, it is very surprising if there are others who have black hair color like you.”
It's only natural that Alda keeps watching this bastard. Although the outside looked nice and friendly, no one ever knew that Liebert committed a terrible sin.
“Then I say goodbye. There are others I should address.”
“Good.”
Liebert left Arcturus and Evelyn alone. The atmosphere was silent for a moment before Evelyn opened her mouth.
“You did well. Stay on this path and don't create problems.”
“Do not rule.”
Arcturus observed the surroundings from earlier and had yet to find the person he was looking for at all.
‘Didn't he come at all? It should be impossible. Banquet Moon is the perfect stage.’
There were three days until this banquet ended when the full moon appeared on the last night. Arcturus felt no need to rush about it at all.
But if he knew so, Arcturus would have chosen not to be present on the first day. He knew, a flock of nobles would start approaching him at this stage.
It was for this reason that Evelyn settled in silence observing the situation.
‘They know there is no hope of trying to establish a profitable cooperation with me or brother Shin.’
Arcturus nodded at Evelyn's words. Basically a nobleman is a person who thinks of himself. In addition to building connections, young nobles in this place tried to gain their own benefits.
‘Take it easy. I know how to act.’
Just as Arcturus said that he saw the red-haired girl in the middle of the other young nobles. He seems to be talking cheerfully.
Seeing that Arcturus smiled happily, ‘I found you, Mr. Princess.’
It took the lives of the three kings' wives in the fire of destruction. The princess was one of the survivors of the horrific incident.
‘But unfortunately it is not a mere coincidence. Damned fire, the death of the third queen, and her banishment are conspiracies.’
Back in the previous round of life, Arcturus revealed that it was most likely the third prince's plan to kill his rival for the throne.
With so much going on, the Knight Kingdom really fell. The eastern nobility was taken over by the western nobility, and war broke out between the three princes.
‘Western nobles sided with the second prince, northern the third prince and the nobleman of the capital of the first prince.’
The East was supposed to be neutral but had no choice but to obey the western nobility. How else would you like? Unlike the others, the eastern region did not have a leader figure uniting the nobles.
They embrace neutrality and profitable relationships without disturbing each other's business.
But in his previous life it was all destroyed. Great chaos fell upon the Knight kingdom due to the infighting of the princes.
“What do you want to do?” evelyn asked, surprised as Arcturus walked towards one place.
Arcturus ignored him and smiled. His gaze was fixed on the Princess who was conversing with the other nobles.
‘This time I will save you. You are the main key to avoiding a coup.’
When the princes fought and the nobles sided with them, then the King could only quietly observe while suppressing the damage.
But among the chaos, who will side with the people?
The woman that Arcturus was aiming for was aware of his presence, she was a little perplexed before smiling and greeting.
“Can anyone be helped? This is the first time we've met, right?” the voice was soft and sounded carefree regardless of whether he felt happy or not.
The dress that completely covered her body, was different from most noble ladies who aided expose some places.
Blood red hair was surging and thick, the scent of flowers enveloped his body. Two huge eyeballs were sky blue with her pretty face.
Arcturus immediately bowed respectfully cheerfully, “It is nice to meet you, Princess Blodwyn Valbenzes Knight. This Young Master is a noble who comes from far east of this kingdom.”
Anyone would be able to realize Arcturus' identity with only his black hair that was truly rare.
Immediately Arcturus' gaze with Blodwyn met. Arcturus then gave his name.
“My name is Arcturus Religia,” Arcturus is a little closer and whisper so only Blodwyn can hear it. “Weeks who seek justice.”
Blodwyn's eyes trembled slightly with Arcturus' words, but deftly he hid his shock.
“It's nice to meet you too, Young Master Arcturus Religia. I did not expect to have the chance to meet the Young Master who supposedly was reluctant to get in touch with the outside world.” Blodwyn smiled kindly and cheerfully.
“Even occasionally I need to breathe air outside the region of Religion, Mr. Princess.”
Blodwyn smiled bitterly, “I am no longer the princess of the kingdom, Young Master Arcturus. Please call me with anything other than that, the name does not matter either.”
Of course Arcturus knows. Everyone knew that the Blodwyn Valbenzes Knight was the King's daughter. But for some reason Blodwyn was expelled from the royal family.
You could say his current status was unclear, between the descent of caste into nobility or perhaps commoners. With that vagueness, the trashy nobles were looking for an opportunity for profit.
And, Arcturus became part of the trashy nobility who tried to take advantage of him.
“Good. Then let's leave the formalities, I'll call you Blodwyn. Instead you call me by name too, I don't like the formality to a friend.” Arcturus smiled wryly.
Blodwyn seemed not surprised by anything and just smiled very flatly.
“Alright, Arcturus. What destination brought you here?”
Arcturus smiled, “It seems we have something in common because it likes the flexibility of not making small talk.”
The Moon Banquet was a gathering place for young nobles who would lead this kingdom in the future. For some groups this is the perfect place to build relationships, strength, even looking for a mate.
But for a few, this place is life and death.
“Do you need Religia household help?”
Just when Arcturus dropped the bomb that made Blodwyn riveted, another figure also dropped an inner uproar for Arcturus.
•... why did the God of Death leave his place and observe the mortal world?
