"Oh, you really look like a fairy, madam."

"Who do you want to show this to first?"

I thought that I didn't hate the pouring of compliments. It was amazing to look at even with my own eyes.

The woman in the mirror smiling shyly was blinding, as if she were under magic.

And it wasn't just because of makeup, not because of luxurious dresses and colorful jewels.

"Is that bracelet really okay with you?"

Lucille, who was closing the jewelry box, secretly asked.

All my jewelry was shiny, but she looked disappointed that only the bracelet was worn out.

"Yes, this is enough. Thank you. You all worked hard."

I raised one hand and pressed my pounding chest tightly.

Thanks to the beautiful sleeve, this bracelet would not stand out.

If I had to insist on this, I don't know, maybe it was because it was the first gift he gave me.

So when I wore this, I felt like I was getting stronger.

And I had to be very strong for a while from today.

"Ruby."

Ellenia was waiting ahead where the carriage was parked.

It was fantastic to see her in an elegant lace dress coloured in light lemon and cream, a jewel pin in her braided hair, but...... Oh, it's awkward. It's awkward.

Not only me, but she also had an awkward atmosphere around her.

It goes without saying that it was not like her.

It's our first time meeting alone since the tea party incident.

Haa, that Freya.

"You're so beautiful, Ellen."

When I talked carefully, trying to suppress the awkwardness, Ellenia looked at me right away.

At first glance, her cold red eyes had a tinge of embarrassment.

"Ruby, you're beautiful without words."

During a short silence, we hesitated to see if we would continue the conversation for a while, but soon we closed our mouths and got into the carriage.

Surrounded by such an awkward silence, the wagon ran toward the royal palace.

Two flags were scattered in Elmos Port, pale sunlight and fog covering it.

The flag with the crown symbolizing Omerta and the flag with the Longinus symbol on it.

Below it, some priests of the Temple of Elendale stood, along with knights wearing blue capes, on display to greet the guests.

Finally, the Romagnan people came like a red wave.

The cardinal was among the crimson dressed people.

Cardinal Valentino was the only one in a tailcoat, at the forefront of the dogs, but aside from his outfit, his appearance was even more noticeable.

Was that the young cardinal Cesare de Borgia?

The Pope's eldest son, Cardinal Valentino, Duke of Savoy, and governor of Romagna.

A silent disturbance spread among the welcoming groups.

Although the appearance of attracting attention at once may be the same, there was no figure that resembled Omerta's Duchess in any corner.

"Yes."
