It was not a fight between people, but against monsters who had been tamed with ferocity.

Although the match itself was a terrifying contest, only the nobles were allowed to attend, and a committee was formed to identify foul acts and prevent accidents, by the priests.

Yes, Joshua was coming to see me using that as an excuse.

Ah, damn it.

"Do you not have an appetite?"

Minghao suddenly asked me, sitting down and listening to the conversation with his cold and indifferent face as always.

Did he notice that I was only sipping from my glass?

"I just love the taste of alcohol."

"It's not good to just drink on an empty stomach."

So, I put down my half-drinking glass and pretended to eat the lemon pie in front of me.

Then, when everyone left to join the dance, I made an excuse to use the washroom and slipped away. I didn't mean to vomit the pie crumbs.

There was a serious problem that a rumour would spread if anyone saw me vomiting in a place like this.

Obviously, I was a little dizzy because I drank on an empty stomach.

"Ah..."

"Oh, excuse me."

I left the banquet hall and tried to enter the balcony, which I was closest to, but I bumped my shoulder hard with someone who came out from the opposite side.

My shoulders were quite unfortunate today,

The other person held my hand and helped me hastily, just as I was about to stumble.

"Are you alright?"

He sounded quite young. When I raised my head, slightly frowning to endure the pain in my shoulder, I faced somewhat mesmerising purple eyes.

He was tall, but he seemed young. I felt that he was about 15 years old.

His pale blonde hair covering the back of his neck and pretty face type, looking a lot like someone.

"I'm fine, but..."

"Ah, I'm Yangyang van Furiana. You were with my brother a little while ago, weren't you?"

As expected, Jungwoo's brother. He really resembled him.

"Are you sure that you're okay? Do you want me to help you out of the banquet hall?"

"I'm okay. I was just coming out to get some fresh air. Are you a paladin?"

"Sir Mingyu would laugh if he heard this. I'm still too young. But, are you bored with the banquet?"

Banquets were always boring. Though, why did he hate me?

The boy smiling in front of my eyes was acting quite friendly and cheerful, but the hostility that he emitted with his whole body was so vivid that it was suffocating. I was always sensitive to this, but the disgust in his eyes was too obvious. Maybe it was because he was still young.

Look at him. When did he ever see me to get such a bad impression?

My husband didn't have this bad of an impression either. As for Minghao, he had a god-given poker face, it was difficult to catch sight of emotions. Jungwoo was a little vague as I had just met him, but it was hard to call him hostile.

But why was Jungwoo's brother making such a fuss?

I smiled silently and looked at him, and he stared at me for a moment, too.
