“But he’s so cool despite being a commoner in the past. I heard that in this war, he single-handedly invaded the Palace of Panath and captured the King.”

Thanks to this, the Kingdom of Panath surrendered without a single casualty. How can he be so cool with that angelic face?”

“But he will soon become Lorelai’s husband. Don’t think about anything weird.”

Some women pouted as Janice wedged themselves, but didn’t answer.

Lorelei and Uriel were a good match for them, too.

The men around also nodded as if they had similar thoughts.

However, there was one person who openly expressed disapproval of Janice’s words.

“Well, if you want to become a countess and bow to the Empress or Grand duchess, you can.”

Lila Trion, a woman with a mole near her mouth who first spoke, murmured with a glare.

She had known Lorelei since childhood, but they weren’t on good terms with each other at some point as they competed for attention in Society.

She had never met this Uriel before so she wasn’t actively participating in the chatter about him at the beginning.

However, Janice and Lorelai, who spoke of someone they had never met as if they were his ideal types out of all women, including herself, were determined to utter a sarcastic remark.

“Lady Lyla!”

“Whether he resembles an angel or a demon, if we look at appearance and abilities, there is no one like Archduke Epinhardt. In terms of status, that would be His Majesty Paris. Did I say something wrong?”

“You’re so rude in front of Lorelai.”

Wide-eyed, Janice stood up for her cousin out of love but Lila was still a sour orange.

Her father was the Marquis of Trion, who boasted as much power as Lorelai Edwin’s father.

Unlike her brother, Simon, she didn’t like Lorelai very much.

“What would you tell someone who wants to go through hardships with a commoner? I just feel sorry for Marquis Edwin. What does he do aside from being a good swordsman? How can that compare to the royal family? Everyone mentions Count Buiche this and Count Buiche that. But, to be honest, I don’t think I want to get engaged with him. I don’t want to take care of a husband who hunts monsters all his life.”

Lorelei’s brow furrowed at the condescending speech but Lila went on, regardless.

“You seem to have read too many novels. The main characters in a novel have at least a secret of their birth. He’s a person who has never learned etiquette. He’s shallow and vulgar for he only knows how to fight. Yes, he look cool but only in the battlefield. What kind of conversation can you have with someone like that?”

In front of Lorelai, who had turned pale, Lila shook her head triumphantly, took a sip of wine, and continued.

“And how is he doing now? He left his lord, Archduke Ephinhardt, and became an escort Knight. Isn’t that the limit of being a commoner? The previous Count Bayan got entrusted with escorting His Highness according to His Majesty’s wishes, but in Count Buiche’s case, he was abandoned by his lord and sold like an object. Both situation are different.”

“La—Lady Lila.” freewebno(v)el

Lila raised her head stiffly and said. “What is it? If you have something to say, why don’t you say it?”

No one in this Empire could have possibly refuted her argument but for some reason, people were looking at her back.

In addition, the faces of various women, who were supposed to be red with anger from the offense, looked strangely happy.

“Huh? What the hell?”

Looking back, she couldn’t close her open mouth regardless of her will.

“Who—— oh my!”

Lila, who was holding a wine glass in her hand, accidentally spilled the drink on her arm and clothes.

It was because the moment she turned around, she saw a handsome man that made her eyes roll at the back of her head.

“Be careful, Lady Lila Trion.”

Whether he heard the conversation earlier or not, he took out his handkerchief and handed it to Lila.

He looked genuinely concerned.

All the women crowding them looked at Uriel with wide eyes but not as much as Lila.

He was more handsome than she heard.

Lila slowly took the handkerchief and wiped the wine from her body.

Fortunately, the liquid was transparent and the dress wasn’t that wet.
