"Come here."

Opposite the entrance to the room was covered in glass.

Beyond the glass, the auction venue was overlooking, and the view from it was what we deserved to call VIP seating.

The auction venue was fan-shaped and the room we were in was the most expensive.

Low places are provided with table shaped seating, with guests invited to the auction sitting one after the other.

"Don't we have to go that way?

"No problem. He's a guest that Rio invited, so it's okay to stay in the room we use."

Sonia's right.

I'm not wrong, and I don't have to go out of my way to places with a lot of nobility.

Gradually shift your gaze up from a low point.

The height of the seat seems to show the height of his identity as it is, and the more he went up, the more luxurious the table seat went.

Going further upstairs was given a private room like ours.

Look to the left.

Look to the right.

Both have just as many rooms, and I can tell that the room I'm in is the center.

"This auction venue was originally purchased by the Empire and renovated rapidly by the Empire where the rallies were held."

"Fiscally tough, but renovated?

"That's about as much room as I can afford, and according to Master Cattleya, the auction seems to be going to be held in the future, and it seems to be going to be used as a place for Rio, who has become emperor, to gather nobles and hold meetings"

Because I got a place like this, I don't have a hand in not using it in the future.

Than that's what I was curious to call you, Rio and Mr. Cattleya.

Even though Rio is a forsaken man, Mr. Cattleya likes him... I'm just wondering what sort of order he's in among their families, including Rio.

"Look over there."

Apparently Sylvia noticed someone. He was pointing to someone at the highest of the table seats in the venue.

There was someone there who I saw turning my gaze on.

We party members were all surprised because we knew each other.

"I can't believe that guy's here..."

"Who?"

"His Royal Highness Prince Randolph, King of the Kingdom of Metis"

Answer Sonia, who came to me intrigued.

His Highness Randolph.

It had already been announced at home and abroad that he had become the Crown Prince, and that he would inherit the throne within close proximity.

It was about too late for my age in the first place. Despite the first prince, he did not become a king prince until he was in his late twenties because of his brother, who was a third prince, and did not do important work for the country.

Because of this, awareness outside the Wang capital is low.

Few people in the empire even know its face, and I can't see a noble figure coming to greet the next king at all.

Even if you didn't know your face, it's not weird if someone comes to greet you because you're bringing escorts and deacons beside you, but it feels like a person of low stature is supposedly taking a squire and stretching his back because his face isn't known.

"I'm not the kind of person to come and say hello when I'm at the table in the first place"

"That's not a response to a prince of a country, is it?"

If Prince Wang of a neighboring country is his opponent, it shouldn't be strange to show him to a private room.

"Perhaps the harassment of the officer in charge who set the order of seats, huh?

"Harassment?"

"Yes, by deliberately guiding you to places that are easily visible to people, you expose them to people and make them laugh."

The empire should be losing a great deal to the kingdom in the war.

Can you harass the Prince of such a country or something?

"I guess, but that officer knows the fact that the army was defeated by 'just five adventurers' rather than by you guys..."

Sounds like a famous story already within the Empire.

However, very few people genuinely believed that common sense interrupted that there could be no great defeat for the great army to just five adventurers.

A handful of them know we're real by gathering information. Now that he's gone, it shouldn't have been so hard to get information if Alistair had a bunch of Imperial agents hiding in him, and Rio had invited him to visit the Empire.

That is why the fact of 'great defeat' can also be seen in a different way for an imperial who genuinely believes.

- I lost the war because five adventurers were in the kingdom, not because I lost the kingdom.

The idea is never wrong.

Because if it weren't for us, Krashel would certainly have been occupied, and I'm pretty sure they would have expanded the occupied area ever since.

As a result, it leads to the behavior of the Prince Wang in contempt.

"What are we going to do?

What Sonia wants to hear is, do you want to reach out?

Maybe I should help you if I know you.

"You don't need anything."

"Right. This is also a necessary ritual for His Royal Highness Randolph, who has come to be known as Prince Wang. These things should increase in the future, so every time we reach out, we'll be disqualified as royalty."

I agree with Melissa.

I need to be able to do something about this myself.

"Look, you're my partner during the auction, so calm down."

"... Yes"

Hold Melissa's hand to calm her down.

Sylvia and the others who were watching how it went say nothing.

Melissa, who, unlike usual, had spoken harrowing words. She had no intention of tempering the royal family to an attitude, even though she had forgiven her for once because the third prince was depriving her of her homeland.

I don't feel anything for her where I was in trouble.

"What. You have someone to reach out to."

I can see Rio approaching His Highness Randolph, who was holding hands.

He was talking to His Highness Randolph, whose face Rio was blushing.

His Royal Highness Randolph looks above his real age, so when the younger Rio talks and tries to calm him down, it looks like a child is teaching an adult.

I'm just wondering what you're talking about.

"You want to hear it?

Sonia asks, so she snorts.

"Something doesn't look good, but what's wrong?

"No, never mind"

"I'm late for my application. I, Glorio Glenvarga, have become Emperor of the Glenvarga Empire. I'm a young emperor, thank you."

"... Huh! Nice to meet you, I'm Randolph Meticalia, the king prince of the kingdom of Metis. I would have liked to have joined yesterday's party..."

His Highness Randolph visited the empire to greet the new emperor.

It was His Majesty the King who had been invited, but His Highness Randolph was visiting the Empire as a nominee. Neither did the Imperial officer who issued the invitation expect the King himself to visit, and he intended to mock those who visited him as a nominee.

The king also granted permission to visit the Empire as a nominee for His Highness Randolph, who is a neighbor but has no visiting experience.

But even though he was tired yesterday morning after his first unfamiliar expedition to the Imperial City, His Highness Randolph couldn't help but stop attending the party saying he wasn't feeling well.

"Normally, if you came by carriage, you wouldn't have to get tired."

Sonia magically reproduced what Rio saw and heard in [Labyrinth Tone].

Ira was sympathetic when she heard about His Highness Randolph's current situation. We were able to get there in about a week because we rushed through at full speed, but when the royal family was traveling by carriage, it would take longer than I imagined because it would be a trip while staying in a city on the way.

I can't help but be exhausted from the peace of mind I arrived at with it.

"… if you are royal, you should endure that much"

"Leaving aside Melissa's words..."

Usually I can count on you, but only when I deal with the royalty will I be pompous, so I'll put Melissa's opinion aside.

"We apologize for any inconvenience in the war that took place earlier in the spring."

"No......"

"Something unfortunate happened, but it was the work of the previous emperor. Of course we are going to have enough apologies as those who have taken over the emperor, but the next generation of leaders who bear each other's country. Let the past flow through the water."

"Yes..."

His Highness Randolph was completely swallowed by the atmosphere of Rio.

He should be working out too, but that's often less than a soldier and less than a knight. He is surely weaker than a first-rate adventurer and can't beat Rio, who is also a labyrinth lord.

Rio leaves beside His Highness Randolph.

It didn't look like His Highness Randolph with his back turned, but we could look down from the top. We saw Rio giggling away.

"He didn't help you."

The Imperial nobility was impressed by the appearance of a new emperor who defeated the next king.

You shouldn't imitate like you would attack the kingdom because you have a promise to me, but you were steadily increasing your endorsement by making the next king look unbeatable.

"I'm solid."

The words were polite as if they were younger, but Rio was completely in the vanguard.

After that, the lights in the venue go off and it gets dark when you observe the people in the venue for a while.
