Bogum smiled sadly as he looked at Lisa’s back, who had disappeared in an instant.

Obviously, the main character of the banquet was himself, who had his birthday today, but it was like Lisa was the main character instead.

From her first appearance, she was breathtakingly beautiful, as well as her superb dancing skills.

He was also forced to swallow the words she was pretty when she pulled off her skirt and raised her sword.

As expected, Lisa stood out the most when she was holding her sword.

“Contract marriage for the throne.”

Bogum muttered without even thinking of looking for a partner other than Lisa.

“Contract marriage for the throne.”

Anyway, the music came back and the banquet continued amidst the chaos.

Among those who began to dance carefully, Bogum mumbled Lisa’s orders three times.

“Contract marriage for the throne…”

Then he took a deep breath.

“…Even if I mumble three times, I still can’t get it.”

His purpose was to become the emperor.

It was just his identity since childhood.

He was born as the son of a lowly dancer, and even though he had no foundation, he wanted to somehow rise to the throne of emperor.

He was confident that he would at least become a much better emperor than Bobby.

As he began to set up a confrontational angle, Bobby’s true identity, which he had guessed, was evil.

So he had to become emperor himself, even for the sake of the empire.

It was in that sense at first that he became close to Lisa.

When she warned of terrorism for him, she was right and he approached her because he thought he might be able to find out something through the Marquis of Abedes.

It was because he was eager to even grab Bobby’s little tail.

But at some point, all those intentions faded.

But Lisa noticed quickly, and she nailed him, saying, ‘you shouldn’t like me’.

“Prince.”

Then one of the noble maidens approached cautiously and asked.

“Are Miss Lisa and you…possibly in a deep relationship?”

Bogum smiled brightly mechanically.

As he could see, a lot of people’s attention was focused on that.

“Because Miss Lisa is a commoner… Did you just ask for a partner for some reason without any rational meaning?”

Actually, that was correct.

It was all part of the scheme.

Still, no such answer came.

He was about to respond with a friendly expression, but the Emperor interrupted.

“Heh heh, Bogum.”

The Emperor’s green eyes were shining sharply.

He must have been very nervous because a lot of things had happened.
