The two of them headed towards the garden that was connected to the main hall's corridor. As there were not many people around, Lelia turned her head to look at Ruth.

Lelia took a deep breath, and said;

"I was insulted by His Majesty... he was saying that I wasn't a man, but a woman."

"I... beg your pardon?"

Ruth blinked in shock. He had a blank look on his face as if he couldn't understand what he was hearing.

How could His Majesty insult him like this?

Lelia continued, "So, I proudly proved myself to be a man in front of His Majesty, and he apologised. He agreed to grant me one wish as an apology for the insult."

"......"

"I brought up Sir Ruth's story."

"......!"

"I told him what a sincere and good man you are. I recommended you as a potential candidate for Princess Julianna fiancé. It was my request to make an official meeting happen for the two of you."

"Sir Raymond!"

Ruth blinked in disbelief, then wiped tears from his face.

As expected.

Ruth began to look at Lelia with eyes that seemed to say there was no greater benefactor in the world.

[This annoying b******.]

Lelia internally criticized Ruth's earlier attitude, and she prayed that Ruth would confess to Julianna as soon as possible. With an unsettled heart, she looked at the quest window stuck in the corner of her field of vision.

Sub Quest~
∙ Helping a troubled young man confess his love

It said that the quest had not been completed yet, and Lelia resented the gray glowing bubble.

During this time, Kalix returned to the vicinity of his residence and entered his room as if he had lost his soul.

He found Romeo waiting in his room when he returned.

"Where have you been?" Romeo asked grimly.

As soon as Kalix found Romeo, he went straight to him and browbeat him.

"Hey!! Where did I go? Now that I am back... do you know what I just saw?!"

"What is it?"

Romeo had a sour look on his face.

"I..."

Kalix wanted to calm down first, so he sat down in front of Romeo and gulped down the cup of water Romeo was drinking.

"Ah! It's hot!!"

"What are you doing?"

As Romeo stared at his absurd behaviour, Kalix struggled to cool down his burnt tongue.

After waiting for a while, Kalix took a deep breath and spoke again.

"Lelia... that guy..."

"What?"

Romeo was still suspicious of Lelia.

Romeo was puzzled by the fussy Kalix bringing up a story about Lelia..

In a grave tone, Kalix said, "She's... a man..."

"......"

'What happened to your head after not seeing you for a day?'
