Book 2: Chapter 23: Epilogue
The place we had been called in to was one of the venues inside the Royal Castle.
Together with Lady Sophia, I walked on the red carpet inside the dazzling venue. She was dressed in a deep red dress, and wore her platinum hair up. It seemed to heighten her beauty as the rose of the Rosenberg marquis household all the more.
My Lady was growing more beautiful with each passing day. I attended as her escort, and we advanced towards the inner parts of the venue. It was a buffet-style party, and a group of people who seemed to be members of the royal family were talking at one of the tables in the back in a good mood.
There was still some time left before the start of the party, but, once the party began, the hosts would become busy immediately. Therefore, Lady Sophia needed to greet them beforehand. Together with my Lady, I made my way to the table where the royal family was.
The royal family seemed to be talking with other guests that had arrived before us, but, when those guests noticed Lady Sophia, they said: “Let us continue speaking later.” and took their leave. We gave them a slight bow and then turned our gazes towards the royal family.
Photographs or anything of the sort were non-existent in this world. Therefore, this was my first time seeing the royal family. However, from their attire, I concluded that the couple in front of us were King Theodore and Queen Adele.
“It’s a pleasure to meet you, Your Majesties, King Theodore, Queen Adele.1Thank you very much for inviting me here today.”
“Ah, it’s been a while, Sophia. I’ve heard of your continuous achievements.”
Having heard this exchange, although I didn’t let it show on my face in the slightest, I felt relieved. This was the second time that Lady Sophia had met King Theodore and Queen Adele. However, their previous meeting had taken place behind closed doors. Given what it had been about, I wouldn’t have found it strange for them to pretend that it never happened.
