“Her Highness, the First Princess, is entering. Please show your respect!”

At that moment, a court servant in a black frock coat raised his voice in front of the stairs. The room fell silent in an instant.

The court servant blew the trumpet to announce the entrance of the princess. And behind the resounding sound, the courtiers hid and began to reveal their true intentions.

“Damn it, will she grant dance requests today?”

“Hey, wake up from your dream. Even Count Fomos was rejected last time.”

“If only I could see a smile on that beautiful face, I would be satisfied.”

Julia glanced at Emmett. It was a situation where every man in the hall was fixated on the stairs upon the news of the First Princess’s arrival.

She was afraid that his fiancé might fall for her older sister.

But fortunately, or unfortunately, he just glanced at the stairs for a moment and continued to look at the painting. It was a rustic painting depicting a horse drinking water and a coachman resting beside it.

‘He’s different from those fools after all. If he’s cold, not only to me but to all women… well…’

A satisfied smile appeared on Julia’s lips. Compared to men who marry and keep mistresses, Emmett was not just excellent but a perfect groom.

At least he wouldn’t demand a divorce if he fell in love with another woman, nor would he secretly bring in an illegitimate child.

Julia used her fan to cover the upward curl of her mouth and looked at the stairs. Even though it was Ariel’s birthday, why are they still applauding…

“Who is that?”

“Oh my goodness, which family is she from?”

“Wow, she’s dazzling!”

At that moment, an unfamiliar woman appeared with Ariel.

Julia’s eyes widened in surprise. Was it a pretty maid who caused such a commotion? But it wasn’t just a situation about good-looking appearances.

Her appearance and figure were so remarkable that Ariel, whom she thought was the empire’s most beautiful woman, seemed relatively ordinary and masculine.

Even her bone structure and overall aura… Wait, was Ariel always this tall?

“Sir Emmett, look at that. My sister Ariel…”

Julia, who was pulling Emmett’s sleeve, felt a sense of unease and turned to him.

Naturally, she thought he would be too engrossed in the painting to even glance in this direction, but this was unexpected.

Emmett’s gaze was directed at none other than the subject of the men’s attention, Ariel’s exclusive attendant.

“Sir Emmett…?”

Julia followed his gaze and turned her head.

Standing at the end of his gaze was not a group of boisterous men, nor a court servant with a trumpet at the foot of the stairs, nor her sister Ariel in a lavender dress.

“Count Fomos is smitten with that woman! Wasn’t she a maid who entered the First Princess’s palace two weeks ago?”

“No, she’s an attendant. I remember our sister telling me. A woman with very large br*asts joined as an attendant this time.”

“Victor, be careful with your words! The princess is watching you!”

Julia panicked and fanned her neck. Wasn’t that attendant none other than the one who had turned the palace upside down not long ago, that ‘Mora’?

“Someone mentioned her before. It’s that woman, Rosé Mora. Sir Emmett, you know her too, right? The hidden daughter of Lian Mora who appeared in Bistiman.”

Julia saw Emmett’s eyebrows twitch and relaxed her tense lips. Of course. With such extraordinary looks, she was the daughter of Lian Mora, who incurred the resentment of the Blue Knights.

Even if she could momentarily divert his attention without him knowing who she was, it would be difficult to divert his gaze now that he had found out.

“Well then, let’s go and have some more drinks.”

Julia grabbed Emmett’s arm and urged him to walk faster. Emmett finally turned to look at her. His lips moved hesitantly, showing signs of anxiety.

“Did you say…Bistiman?”

One of Julia’s eyebrows raised. Wondering if he really hadn’t heard that woman say ‘Mora.’ Or perhaps he heard it but didn’t pay attention to it.

“Yes. Bistiman, the place with the Blue Rock. But what does that matter, Sir Emmett? She’s a ‘Mora’. The daughter of Lian Mora!”

It was fortunate that Julia’s irritated exclamation was buried under the starting music. The scene was already chaotic, with people gathering around to get a glimpse of Lian Mora’s daughter.

If someone had overheard Emmett and Julia arguing about her, the front page of the newspaper the next day would undoubtedly be filled with scandalous headlines.

“Anyway, let’s not worry about it anymore. Look… everyone is buzzing about her…, Sir Emmett?”

Julia spoke, but Emmett had already left her side. She blankly stared at his retreating figure.

He seemed distracted, as if his mind was elsewhere. He was walking towards Rosé Mora, who was surrounded by numerous men, scratching his cheek among them.

Julia gritted her teeth.

‘She didn’t come here to make illegitimate children, did she? I must have misjudged her. At this rate, she could have ten lovers!’

That ignorant woman with the ridiculously massive br*asts!

Unable to contain her anger, Julia impulsively grabbed five glasses of wine from a passing servant’s tray and downed them all at once.

She glared at Rosé, who was fidgeting among the men, only concerned about her br*asts. br*asts, br*asts, br*asts!

‘Damn it, I want to touch them too!’

As Julia’s drunkenness intensified, she raised her hands as if she were about to grab something. At that moment, she understood the feelings of those wretched dogs, even though she was angry.

* * *

Rosé looked at the men pushing towards her with wary eyes. Initially, they had their eyes on the First Princess, but as soon as they spotted her, they rushed towards her like hungry beasts discovering a more tempting prey, crowding in front of the stairs.

As though he had anticipated this situation, Ariel just nodded at Rosé’s plea for help. Instead, he left a message in his notebook.

[Choose. Who do you think would be a good partner for tonight?]

He’s truly insane. Sensing Ariel’s madness, Rosé discreetly distanced herself from him.

As a result, the men were divided into two groups: those loyal to Ariel and those who flocked to Rosé.

The followers of Rosé were mostly nobles without wealth or honor, or nobles with wealth but no honor.

Perhaps that’s why. The target cards floating above the heads of the men came one after another, all in a row.

‘I can forgive anything else, but I can’t forgive F-Tiers.’

They were losers who couldn’t even give me abilities as small as ant urine. I shouldn’t be considerate of them.

“Would you dance with me?”

“Let’s go out to the balcony and have a conversation…!”

“I brought drinks for the lady!”

Rosé clapped her hands to break through the crowd. But whenever she tried to take a step forward, someone would block her like a swarm of bees.

What should I do with these people? Should I go buy a wooden stick and smash their heads?

Her temperament was deteriorating due to the stress of being surrounded by F-Tier men.

Suddenly, the men scattered like cockroaches in a lit room.

“Are you alright?”

Among the cockroaches, the one who appeared was none other than the leader of the Blue Knights, Emmett Bovir.

Rosé swallowed a significant gulp at the sight of Emmett, whom she hadn’t seen for a long time since the incident at Kunalgi.

Surely he wouldn’t recognize someone by their b*ttocks. He wasn’t someone with an as$ f*tish… But still, unable to dispel her unease, she nervously replied.

“T-Thank you. Well then, I’ll be going…”

With her head deeply bowed like a guilty person, Rosé turned her body before it was too late. But Emmett blocked her with his body, determined not to let her pass.

His actions were something a gentleman would never do, not only because of his background but also because he was still unfamiliar with the lives of nobles.

Her gestures reminded him of someone. Even the scent that emanated when he approached her… His hex also reacted to her.

“I heard you’re from Bistiman.”

Startled, Rosé raised her head slowly to look at Emmett.

With his silver hair neatly swept back, he was a peculiar man who could remind one of a bright-cheeked boy or a ruthless and cold-blooded individual.

“Were you there on the day of the Kunalgi incident?”

She quickly lowered her head. ‘That day.’ It was a tone that clearly assumed the day when the incident occurred. She was being suspected.

‘No. I have to consume s*men for now…’

When things got serious, not only did she defeat demons by absorbing s*men, but her promiscuous s*x life also came to an end. She was a cursed possessor who had to conquer all kinds of penises if she wanted to avoid death.

“I don’t understand what you’re saying. Excuse me.”

“Just a moment.”

‘Ah, why again!’

Rosé glared at Emmett, who grabbed her forearm, with sharp eyes.

Looking at her expression, Emmett hesitated for a moment but ultimately decided to push his stubbornness.

“As the commander of the Blue Knights, I ask you. Did you save us that day?”

Rosé, who couldn’t hide her confusion in response to his clear question, stammered.

“I… I…”

Clang!

That was the moment. Along with the sound of a heavy object falling, a sharp cracking sound could be heard.
