Do Your Best and Regret

Chapter 70

The spacious banquet hall of Vikander Castle.

A low, captivating voice fell into the banquet hall, which was filled with vassals and knights who had returned from subjugating beasts.

"The beginning of the reorganization of the Jeniv street area."

The transparent wine glass held up by the Grand Duke, the golden fruit wine inside was flowing.

The Grand Duke, who was giving a toast, paused for a moment. At the same time, the vassals and knights all held back their laughter. Everyone in the room knew that this grand banquet was held to celebrate the start of the Jeniv Street district reorganization, which was the first project the precious Young Lady had promoted in Vikander. But, the look in the eyes of the Young Lady who was looking at the Grand Duke while holding a glass next to him was clear.

Silver hair is elegantly styled with a jewel pin and mysterious green eyes. Seeing the noble appearance of the woman, the knights unconsciously took her side.

Silent pressures to quickly continue the next sentence piled up. The Grand Duke shrugged his shoulders.

".... And for the knights who returned safely."

"For all of us!"

The chorus was so loud that it seemed like the banquet hall was about to leave, and at the same time, there was a loud sound of clinking glasses. It was the first time that His Highness the Grand Duke, who was always strong and ruthless, was seen obediently following someone else's will.

From the moment they entered the busy street, Sonnaire Street, rumors were spreading that His Highness the Grand Duke had met a good companion.

Haha~

Soon, boisterous laughter spread from everywhere as if they couldn't hold back.

"Oh my God. Before I die, I received a banquet from His Highness the Grand Duke to celebrate my trip to exterminate beasts."

"So that's it. It's no big deal to subdue the animals that are always there."

"You say this is all thanks to you? Bethany brought out plenty of fruit and wine. It feels like I'm still dreaming at the border?"

The knights who had just returned rubbed their eyes in amazement. It was natural to marvel at the reality that did not change no matter how much they rubbed their eyes. Howard, who was listening to their story,  quietly nodded. It was all thanks to the Young Lady that the Grand Duke was able to hold a banquet to praise the subjugation of beasts and drink plenty of Bethany's fruit wine.

"I heard Bethany always sets off fireworks during festivals? She's truly amazing!"

If you look at it strictly, the Lady was the reason Bethany went to the street festival. With sparkling eyes, she praised the hard work of setting off fireworks at every festival, so she had no choice but to go to Sonair Street to set off fireworks today as well.

Of course, the fact that the person whispering behind her back was Dean and that the Grand Duke was behind Dean, was a secret that only Bethany knew.

Howard gave a rare grin and looked in the distance towards the platform where the Young Lady and the Grand Duke were sitting. Then, when Dean and Howard made eye contact, the two nodded meaningfully at each other.

"Anyway, why isn't everyone drinking?"

One of the knights who just returned today said curiously. Not only his colleagues, who would normally be able to empty three or four oak barrels in an instant but even Sir Howard Interfield, who is reputed to be sober, was only moistening his lips with his glass.
