At the celebration banquet.
In the extremely splendid hall, countless nobles wearing exquisite attire eagerly await the arrival of the evening's protagonist.
Crystal jewelry, beautiful dresses, melodious music and beautiful girls... All the beautiful things gathered here tonight are to celebrate Leon's great achievements.
"Dragon Slayer, ah~ what a majestic title, His Highness Leon is truly incredible."
"Hey hey, I heard that the king planned to let His Highness Leon inherit throne."
"Really? No, that's indeed possible, but what will happen to Prince Algard?"
"Of course he's going to give up. I heard that His Highness Leon even turned the worst territory in the kingdom into a prosperous trading city."
The adult nobles were discussing this.
They are convinced that Leon is about to be the new king of the kingdom.
At the same time, Algard in the corner not far away gritted his teeth. As the king's son, he was the only one who failed to contribute in the last battle.
At that moment, he was being ridiculed by all the nobles present with elegant yet unpleasant words.
They praised Leon as being the chosen son, while Algard was an incompetent.
[Hmph, you guys were trying to please me a little while ago, but now the wind has changed and you immediately changed sides.]
[These nobles are really shameless, but now you will have to try to please Leon.]
[When this guy really comes to power, you're going to cry.]
[I'm really looking forward to it.]
Algard smiled sarcastically at the nobles who looked down on him.
At the same time, although Leon has not yet appeared, a war has already started at the banquet.
Women's war.
"When His Highness Leon arrives, I will be his dance partner, I will be the first to dance with him!"
"Tch, His Highness's dance partner will be me."
"Get out of here, you bitch!!"
All of the noble daughters present were full of enthusiasm.
Those who didn't know thought they were about to embark on some kind of battlefield. No, now they were on the battlefield, and they were already in full swing killing before the rightful owner arrived.
Noble daughters of this age usually read one or two novels written by Natsume-sensei.
Everyone will imagine a handsome prince in their minds to save them from the sadness of arranged marriage.
And Leon fits their fantasy perfectly.
In the circle of noble daughters, Leon is very famous, talented and gifted. Not only is he a prince, but he also has the power to defeat even dragons.
But what daughters care most about... is the pretty face that can steal their hearts in the blink of an eye!
Not to mention that the throne is now certain, whoever can win his favor will probably be the queen in the future!
A man who combines appearance, ability, status and strength, his lethality to women is like a feast in front of a dog that has been hungry for three days.
"Ahem, but I heard that His Highness has recently become very close with Duke Magenta's daughter."
"Ah? Is a woman whose engagement has been annulled qualified to be with his Highness?"
"It's okay, it's okay, there is no news that the two will get engaged, and His Highness Leon once said that his choice is not dependent on family, but based on ability."
"Serious?!" xN
Although they are each other's enemies, they will still share information with each other when there is information. After all, gossip is also part of a woman's nature.
Before hearing this, the low-status daughters of the barons and viscounts present complained to their parents why their titles could not be higher.
But now the fire of fighting spirit is igniting in their eyes, and each of them is so confident that they are the future princess.
ability?
The ability to be a vessel in itself is first in the kingdom!
ability?
My nighttime skills are definitely first class!
Finally at this moment.
"His Highness Leon Fol Palletia has arrived."
"!!!"xN
All the women present were like hunting dogs that smelled meat at that moment, turning their heads at a speed that made people worry that they would break their necks.
They looked towards the entrance of the hall, ready to immediately ask him to dance.
However, when the door was opened, none of the women present dared to invite him because... Leon had brought his own companions, and there were three companions!!
"It's really a family atmosphere, but there are a lot of people watching tonight."
"Haha, everyone is looking at you, Leon, you left all the girls fascinated, you are worthy of being my sister's son."
"Ahh~ why do I have to participate in this, Leon?"
Duke Euphilia's daughter, Queen Sylphine, and the green-haired witch C.C.
Leon, who had these three women as his companions, was immediately isolated from the observing girls. Even if they just looked at her appearance, they didn't have the courage to go up to her and talk to her.
"Oh! How beautiful."
"Your Highness is truly blessed."
"Ahem, that's not appropriate when the queen is present, is it?"
"Holy shit, I thought I didn't say anything."
"Haha, that's impossible. Look at that, slandering the queen and prince for having an affair. You're completely finished." xN
The noble who just said the wrong thing was immediately caught in his weakness by the old foxes around him, and his life as a noble ended at that moment.
But although they didn't say it out loud, everyone was very surprised. The queen is following Leon. What is happening?
Won't you help your son?
There, Algard's face turned carbon black.
Holy shit, queen is actually holding her highness Leon's arm?! So you two have such a good relationship?!
They never imagined that Sylphine would support not her own son, but Leon... Now everyone was confused, but everyone understood one thing.
The throne, which was already a certainty for Leon, probably now has his name written on it.
But in addition to being surprised, the men present were even more envious.
"Ahem, let's leave the queen aside, that green-haired woman and Euphilia are so beautiful."
"It's a perfect match to be with His Highness... hiss..."
The aristocratic man who had just said this felt a pain in his feet. When he lowered his head, he saw that his daughter was stepping on him with the heel of a high heel shoe. There were also a dozen or so girls around him who were staring at him.
He realized immediately that he had said the wrong thing.
The so-called social scene is so prosperous and dangerous. Using language as a weapon is sometimes more dangerous than swords, guns, and halberds. If you're not careful, you could become the target of everyone's fire.
