The deep blue eyes that had been suffocatingly attached to me were staring at me and Asher without moving an inch.

Sage's eyebrows rose even higher at the sight of me wrapping my arms around Asher's neck.

The persistent gaze moved slowly and finally settled on me.

I felt like I was going to die if I didn't let go right away.

... ... It's good to be jealous, but if I drag the situation out too much, it might be hard to handle the aftermath. I quietly lowered the arm that was holding Asher and took a step back as if to show my gratitude.

Blue eyes followed my movements again.

"Welcome, Lord Loisar. Is this the right way to address you?"

"......I don't know what to do with myself because you welcome me so warmly. If I am welcomed twice, I will not be able to protect my life."

"Is this a welcome for a reason?"

"......Just your heart......, no. You don't even have to give me your heart."

As I greeted him politely, Asher, who had been responding in kind, looked behind me, shook his head quickly, and changed his words.

I took a deep breath.

Sage was a sage, but behind me were the Astrophels trio.

Aser's complexion had long since turned pale, if not bluish.

"Then let's meet at the banquet hall, Ase..., Lord Loisar."

I corrected his title, which was still unfamiliar to me.

"Please let's do that. There's too much attention on me, so I guess I'll go in now."

It was the moment when Asher was about to take a step, conscious of the gazes of those around him.

Kaid's low, hushed voice was heard.

"I think the details should be discussed with me, not with my daughter."

"omg."

Aser's body stiffened. Kaid's voice, extremely dry, continued.

"I'm already looking forward to the meeting with the Loisar family."

"......We also look forward to a smooth exchange with the Astrophel family."

"is it?"

Kaid smiled crookedly.

"I'm not sure."

With those words, Kaid's gaze turned to Muhela.

She watched the situation with an excited expression from beginning to end.

And those around us were watching us with bated breath.

That was because the three families that had the greatest stake in this Eastern War were gathered together.

It was natural to be on edge, as the situation on the continent would change from moment to moment depending on the conversation between these three people.

"It's been a while, Kiraas family."

"It's been a while. I don't really feel like it because of recent events, don't you think?"

"I'm telling you for sure that it's just my mood."

Sigh. I touched my forehead to the two people's war of nerves.

It was clear that he was being very sensitive ahead of Sage and I's marriage proposal.

Asher, who had been watching the two people, said he would go in first and left.
