Ivew and Leister fell silent at the Emperor Aradi's question. Both of them tried to control their expressions. Leister glanced at Ivew who was silent beside her. The ruby-eyed youth was overwhelmed with guilt as the emerald-eyed girl beside him no longer had a sense of calm in his simple life.
“Sorry ... what does that mean, Your Majesty?” Ivew asked, looking at the Emperor Aradi who was in front of him.
The Emperor simply displayed a smile on his face and allowed the two to leave. Leister and Ivew again saluted the emperor and walked out of the room met with the sight of the imperial knight smilingly guarding the door of the emperor's halfway room.
Ivew breathed a sigh of relief and inhaled as much air as possible. The emerald-eyed girl wiped the sweat that was flowing back from her forehead, while Leister who was beside her sighed and patted the girl's shoulder softly.
“What are you okay now?” leister asked worriedly as Ivew's pale face was still clearly visible.
The emerald-eyed girl nodded and smiled, feeling more comfortable as free air flowed around her.
“I thought you got there first. Hello, Leister!”
The carefree voice of someone distracting the two stared at a young man who had black hair and obsidian eyes waving towards Leister. The ruby-eyed youth smiled and immediately reached out a welcoming hand to the young man in front of him. The two smiled and threw each other trite questions. Ivew glanced at the interaction of the two who, although only stale, felt warm and full of sincerity.
“O Yes, Ivew. Introduce him Young Master of the Rizery family,” Leister said staring at Ivew and introducing the young man in front of him.
“Salam knows Lady ... I am Diano Rizery,” said the young man with blue hair and obsidian eyes introduced himself in front of Ivew and in reply Ivew by introducing himself politely.
Ivew smiled at Diano, who was back in conversation with Leister and listened well to the information discussed by the two. Diano Rizery is the only son of the Rizery family. If the Flowerlax family focused on land military servicemen then the Rizery family would focus on soldiers at sea and create a navy.
The city of Rizery has its own access to and out of the imperial protective walls and regularly reports on their military activities. The city also borders with marine tribes who help them maintain the safety of the sea.
“Alright .. I'll greet the emperor first. See you later, Leister, Lady Mirabeth.”
Diano waved his hand and began to enter into the Emperor's halfway room. The two nodded and ushered in the departure of the Young Master Rizery with a smile on the face. Leister again walked towards their pavilion which was to the west of the emperor's palace followed by Ivew beside him in quiet steps.
“You have no trouble wearing a dress right, Ivew?”
Leister glanced at Ivew who was walking like the nobles in general.
“No, Young Master. Don't worry I won't embarrass you tomorrow.”
Ivew replied casually, while Leister chuckled and looked back at the palace hallway in front of them as he returned the greetings of the servants or palace staff.
“That's not what I mean. You look like a real noble, did Laveron or your parents ever teach you manners? Or you taught yourself?” leister asked without glancing at Ivew and down the steps towards the palace grounds.
The emerald-eyed girl fell silent with Leister's question. He had indeed learned something related to noble manners and all applicable etiquette. But it was in her previous world when she lived as Cona Renjana.
“Ivew?”
Leister's call awakened Ivew from his sense of nostalgia. The emerald-eyed girl smiled slightly and answered Leister's casual question. It's a little bit of a lie that he learned everything himself. The ruby-eyed youth nodded and invited Ivew to return faster to their pavilion.
“Good boy don't cry! We are here ...”
Ivew gasped as she heard the soft sound of wind flowing around her. Moving his jet black hair that was left to be severed. The emerald-eyed girl smiled and rubbed the ends of her slightly wet eyes. Although his body had changed his longing for a precious figure in the previous world would never be lost.
Leister glanced at Ivew who stopped behind him. The ruby-eyed young man turned around and looked at the calm-looking Ivew in a round of wind flowing around him. Her ruby beads widened as she saw the small smile present on Ivew's face along with the gentle breeze moving her jet-black hair and green dress.
The young man felt his slightly hot face and joined in with a smile as he watched the girl in front of him enjoy the atmosphere. The Veister cat immediately sat on the chair as it saw Leister and Ivew enter the dining room.
Some waiters started preparing the food they were about to eat and Ivew sat awkwardly in one of the dining chairs.
“What's up, Ivew?” leister asked who was sitting in front of him.
The ruby-eyed young man cut the meat on his plate and glanced at Ivew who had been silent before not touching the food in front of him.
“Nothing, Young Master. Just thinking of something,” replied Ivew started cutting meat on his plate like Leister did.
I can't say that I don't know how to cut meat! I was bragging about manners! Ivew's mind again saw the way Leister cut the meat on her plate, while Veister's cat simply looked at the two flat and resumed his sleep.
“Do you still feel tight? Because of the emperor?”
Leister asked as he looked at Ivew who was slightly jolted and almost choked. The emerald-eyed girl hurriedly grabbed a glass of water and drank it fast, while the Veister cat got up sitting on the table and stared at the two.
“What happened?” veister's cat asked echoed within the room that was only filled by the three of them.
Leister glanced at Ivew who continued to eat and began to tell him everything that had happened until the question the emperor had asked him. Veister's cat stared at Ivew who kept his eyes off.
“Ya .. no wonder the Emperor did that. It was possible that the rumors about the person who defeated the spider monster back then had already reached the Emperor's ears. The emperor seems to want to test you, Ivew.”
Leister nodded at the explanation Veister's cat gave. The ruby-eyed young man was about to ask before coming to a halt due to the open door and someone stepped inside the dining room.
“Let me leave a moment there's been a problem. What else happened, Ivew?”
