Lelia couldn't believe her ears.

[T/N: Well, I can't believe my eyes too... Romeo is- xD]

What is he talking about?!

"Romeo, you're good. That's a very great idea." Kalix gave a thumbs up.

Smiling as if nothing major had happened, Romeo added;

"It just sounds right. I can say I want to bring my fiancée to the last banquet party tomorrow."

"...."

Lelia rolled her eyes without moving a muscle.

"Are you going to enter the Imperial Palace as Romeo's fiancée?"

Lelia quickly calculated the possibility of complications.

"...."

"Frankly speaking, it's not a bad idea."

As long as she doesn't meet Perseus.

But they're talking about the Imperial Palace. The chances of meeting the Emperor are high and potentially dangerous. Besides that, a prince's fiancée would be considered hi ranking. If Emperor Perseus decides to have a formal meeting with her, she will be quickly caught.

"I was afraid I'd run into the emperor. So I was planning to sneak in."

She didn't have to steal anything, she just had to go into the cabin and press the search button for the ingredients.

Lelia cautiously asked, "Isn't the emperor going to attend the banquet? He may recognize my face and have questions."

"Is that so? From what I've heard, they're not planning to attend the last banquet."

"The status of fiancée to a prince is too dangerous. They may think I'm a high-ranking aristocrat, and news might reach your home country..."

Lelia hesitated, so Romeo thought for a moment.

"Maybe we can say you're a distant relative."

Lelia nodded for a moment. It would be easier to deceive you just in case.

[Then I only have one chance tomorrow...]

"Well... I might want to stay longer in the Imperial Palace. I heard there are actually many more guests staying this time."

Romeo's comment left Lelia silent and distressed.

"Are you all right?"

No matter how you look at it, this method is too dangerous.

It will be over in a day, but if you stay in the castle for a longer period of time, the danger will only increase. She didn't have time to extend her stay.

The plan seemed completely different from her original one.

Lelia thought twice about the idea and eventually came up with a good idea of her own.

"Originally, I was going to sneak into the Imperial Palace by myself."

"Did you learn swordsmanship, or martial arts?" asked Kalix unexpectedly.

Lelia shook her head.

"No, I have enough medicine to put the gatekeepers to sleep."

"Alchemy?"

Romeo's eyebrows furrowed.

Lelia quickly added her statement, in case he was suspicious.

"Yes, the people who raised me after I escaped as a kid bought it for me."
