Today is the day of the beauty contest, the contest takes place in the plaza where the bombing happen before. The citizens can watch the contests through the big screen outside the plaza or watch directly inside the plaza, many nobility and royal family from other kingdoms also come to the Roan Kingdom because at the end of all the festivals and contests is the coronation for Alberu Crossman also the day when the Roan Kingdom become Roan Empire, they need to witness it so they come when the Roan Kingdom send the invitation to them, well there's always an exception though like them for example

"Noona! Please wait for me"
"Hurry up Paseton, we don't want to be late to see young master Cale"
"Of course noona, I bet young master Cale will be surprised when he knows we sit here instead of with father"

The two whale's siblings are a great example of that, they choose to sit with the citizens so they can openly shout- I mean support young master Cale. The two of them wearing a hood and disguise, courtesy of Raon. Their father already offered the seat to Witira so she can watch Cale more clearly but she refused saying it's better to blend with the citizens so she doesn't need to watch her behavior or tone, his angelic son Paseton also agreed to her so the Whale King Shickler let them be and just internally sighed

When the two of them were already seated in their chair someone tapped Witira shoulder with a beautiful fan, so she looks behind her

"It seems we have the same idea, for seating here instead of with the royalties"
"That would be the case Queen Jopis"
"No need be so formal, today I'm a mere citizen so just call me Jopis"
"Likewise, just call me Witira then"

The two Queen seemed friendly to each other they seem to be gossiping about the goods they sent to young master Cale so he can smooth his wins.
Paseton looks around curiously and seemed to be in a daze until someone's laughter interrupts it
It was Toonka
Paseton can see Harol trying to calm down Toonka

"Hahaha! Look Harol, there are a lot of people who cheer for my friend! He will surely win this competition!"
"Shhh Tonnka be quiet, we don't want someone to know your face, didn't you know the concept of disguise"

Paseton gaze move from them and meet the gaze of the queen of jungle Litana, she just smiled toward him so Paseton smiled back and nodded his head, he swipe his gaze again he also saw Mercenary King Bud Illis and his friend Gleen, Prince Pen and tower master Rosalyn beside her is Choi Han, Mary, Lock, Dodori, Beacrox, Gashan even Eruhaben-nim and Rasheel-nim, it seems the kids and the butler is in the backstage helping young master Cale
Wait, is that Archie beside Rasheel-nim!?
He even sees elves and dark elves sit next to each other peacefully discussing something
Paseton just look away from them and focused on the stage
Yeah, he doesn't see anything at all

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The contest they waiting for so long is about to begin, all the royalties and their representative from another kingdom such as the son to be crowned Emperor Alberu Crossman, Crown Prince Valentino, Prince John, Rex, Whale King Shickler, King from another Kingdom like whipper Kingdom, Askosan, Norland, Paerun, etc. They entered the plaza and sit at a high position in the plaza, the nobles of the Roan Kingdom sit at a lower place than them after that is the citizens

Alberu looked around the nobles and citizens area, that's when he spotted the Queen of Jungle who said she was busy and will attend at the end ceremony, Queen Jopis and Mercenary King who also send a letter of apologize because they just can attend the end ceremony, Cale family, elves and dark elves, even the dragons are here
All of them is here blending with the citizens

Alberu wanted to face palmed, but he just ignored it

Ignorance is bliss

This Alberu last thought before the contest begin

'Cale my precious dongsaeng who love to driving me nuts, it will be impossible for you to lose with this many people who support you'

"Ladies and gentlemen are you ready to see what kind of beauty will win this time!?"

"Well then without any delay let's introduce our contestants!"

"The first person is the winner of the beauty contest previously! Princess Arabella from the Kruitezia Kingdom!"

The audience is cheering when the Princess takes a step onto the stage, her long baby blue hair and blue eyes caught the audience's attention, and her kind smile exudes gentle air around her. If you look at her you will think she was a female lead from a fantasy novel

"Alright the second contestant is the third princess from the Ibesh Kingdom, Princess Eloise"

The princess from Ibesh has pink hair and gold eyes, she smiles timidly at the audience she is like Saint Jack, she looks innocent and pure

"Next is the cutie that makes you want to kidnap him! Prince Nathaniel from the Enand Kingdom!"

His soft violet hair, round eyes with the color of amethyst, plump cheeks that you want to poke really give off the feeling you want to kidnap him

"The next contestants are what the most of the adults are waiting for! The sexy beauty from Norland Kingdom Princess Lucretia"

She really lives up to her reputation, her black hair, ruby eyes, and the beauty mark near her lips really make her look sexy

"Next is the prince and recently the appointed Knight Captain from Caro Kingdom Sir Lyonell!

He looks more like a Knight in shining armor than that crazy bastard Clopeh, he has golden hair and green eyes that screams he is a prince, he gave off an aura like Clopeh minus the crazy fanatic

"And the last person who all of you are waiting for is the former military commander Cale Henituse from the Roan Kingdom!"

The audience really cheered loudly, many of them are curious about Cale Henituse conditions, and they heard he need a long period of recuperating from the war. Of course, that was a lie

When Cale step up to the stage many held their breath, and the audience who cheering for Cale becomes silent. When the war started the former commander always covered in his blood so they couldn't really tell, they know Cale is beautiful but this is really exceeded their expectations

Cale Henituse leisurely walk towards the other contestants, as if he is just taking a walk in the garden, he looks serene but the air he gives off is not like what human usually do, is not the suppressive aura of a dragon or like an emperor, it's more gentle but at the same time you feel like to get on your knees and bow to him

Cale Henituse looks ethereal, the gaze that looks so tranquil, soft red hair that swaying gently, pale face, his skin looks smooth and seems to be glowing

His reddish-brown eyes swipe up all the audience and he can easily spot his family and allies, he slightly nodded at them a sign he recognized them even though most of them is under the disguise

Even the host momentarily forget his role, he then slap his cheeks and clear his throat

"Ehem! That was all the contestants for this year's contest beauty, now we will introduce you all to the judge of this year! It's judges A, B, and C! The judge will stay anonymous"

"Because no one knows who the judge is that means no one can't persuade the judge with other methods so it will be fair judgment! Now, shall we begin? The first contest is Cooking Beauty!"

"In this contest, the judge will appraise the beautiful appearance of your cooking! So cook well! Now we will roll this Roulette to know what kind of food you should cook! Start the spin!"

The giant Roulette keeps spinning until it stops on the word 'dessert'

'Oh, what a coincidence, I can make those desserts then'

Cale's mind drifts through a dessert he wants to make, a really sweet dessert he wanted to buy at the earth when he was young but he can't afford it because that dessert is kinda expensive
