“It’s about time…”
The day the delegation from the Barthian Holy Kingdom finally arrived. Wilfred, the Foreign Minister, and I were lined up in front of the Royal Palace, waiting for their arrival.
By the way, Cardis was next to Wilfred, and Marion, dressed in ceremonial knight’s attire, was standing a step behind him.
Perhaps because of the incident with Sandra, Marion looked down awkwardly as soon as I was guided to my current position by a civil official. I don’t know for sure, though.
Also, Wilfred hasn’t taken any action regarding that matter.
I think it’s presumptuous of him to sic a maid on me, but it would be troublesome if I got involved, so I guess it’s a good thing for me.
While I was thinking about such trivial things:
“Wilfred, do you understand the meaning of being nominated as the host by His Majesty the King?”
“Of course, Brother Cardis. I’m no longer the ‘Tainted Prince.’ I am Wilfred Well Dehauvals, the Fourth Prince of the Dehauvalz Kingdom.”
“Good.”
Cardis nodded in satisfaction at Wilfred’s answer, who had a dignified expression.
As for me, standing next to him, all I could think was, “What? What is this farce?”
But at least King Aival and Cardis seem to be trying to improve Wilfred’s situation.
Unlike the story of “EnHaza,” he seems to be getting a lot of attention, which is great (sarcastically).
At that moment.
“Reporting in. The delegation from the Barthian Holy Kingdom has safely entered the Royal Capital. They will pass through the central street and arrive at the Royal Palace shortly.”
“I see.”
Wilfred nodded at the report.
He was acting as if he was the only host this time. Thanks to that, the civil official who reported it looked troubled, so I gave him a wry smile and gestured for him to step back without worry.
Then.
“Brother Harold. His Holiness the Pope, the number two in the Holy Kingdom, will be visiting as part of this delegation. Let’s cooperate and make it a success, regardless of factions.”
Wilfred held out his right hand and smiled.
Marion, one of the main heroines, was captivated by the protagonist’s smile.
Now… should I take this hand or not?
If I want to avoid making waves, I should take it, but because of my past with Sandra, my personal feelings make me want to refuse.
While I was staring at Wilfred’s hand and my own, hesitating:
“Hahaha… let’s work together, brothers, to support Wilfred.”
Cardis, unable to bear it any longer, took my hand and forcibly made me shake hands with Wilfred.
His expression was calm, but his gray eyes weren’t smiling at all.
Besides, Cardis, you slyly declared Wilfred as the top of the host side.
Of course, the civil officials are listening to this conversation, so they will act accordingly from now on… it’s helpful because it reduces my workload.
And then.
“Ooooooh…!”
Looking at the group approaching the main gate of the Royal Palace, I let out a commonplace exclamation of admiration.
All the horses were white, and Holy Knights clad in silver armor surrounded the carriage, which was decorated in white and gold, the symbol colors of the Barthian Holy Kingdom, as if protecting it.
“The delegation from the Barthian Holy Kingdom is entering!”
A fanfare sounded, and the delegation slowly passed through the space where the Royal Knights were lined up on the left and right of the main gate.
“Your Holiness, welcome to the Dehauvalz Kingdom. I am Wilfred, the Fourth Prince, and I will be serving as your host.”
“Likewise, I am Harold, the Third Prince.”
In front of the carriage door, Wilfred and I gave our greetings and bowed respectfully.
I’m just a prince, but the other party is the number two Pope, so it’s right to be humble… but, huh? No one is getting out…
I raised my face slightly and timidly looked at the carriage… what!?
“Hmph… to be greeted by the ‘Tainted Prince’ and the ‘Incompetent Rascal Prince,’ the Holy Kingdom has been made light of.”
“What!?”
Ehh… a Holy Knight who suddenly appeared before my eyes said something rude.
I can’t see her face because she’s wearing a full-face helmet, but I recognize that voice very well.
No doubt about it. This woman with the arrogant attitude is one of the main heroines of “Engage Hazard.”
–The Holy Knight “Carla Delminio.”
“How rude!”
Wilfred was the first to bark at Carla’s words.
He was baring his fangs and glaring at her as if to shoot her down.
Me? I’m just smiling and observing the situation.
Because I know this heroine… Carla’s personality very well. Don’t underestimate a heavy user of “EnHaza.”
Originally, she is a proud and noble woman with a spirit of chivalry, and she is not the kind of person who would put others down.
So, there must be a reason why she said such a thing.
One possibility is that the Pope, the leader of this delegation, instructed her to provoke us on purpose.
But that question was soon resolved.
“Ufufu… Carla, you mustn’t say such rude things. Quickly, apologize to Prince Harold and Prince Wilfred.”
The carriage door opened, and a woman wearing a priest’s robe and a veil appeared.
She is the strongest Light Attribute heroine in “EnHaza” and has the worst personality.
–The Saint “Christia Salerno.”
