The Magic of “Analysis” Sees Through Everything – Chapter 134

𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐲

“A party? Us?”

γ…€

“Yes, from the  Aubrey Count.”

γ…€

Alfred began to speak while stroking his beard.

γ…€

“As you know, Iam is always tense because it borders the demon realm. However, at the same time, trade with the demons is also active.”

γ…€

Luke had heard that story too.

γ…€

Iam is a place where trade with the demon realm is particularly active in the Arrogas Kingdom, which borders the demon realm.

γ…€

The high-quality magic stones mined in the demon realm are an important resource for the Arrogas Kingdom, and it is said that 10% of the magic stones used in the kingdom are traded here in Iam.

γ…€

“That’s the same for the nobility. And tomorrow, a party will be held at the Azure Palace, inviting the nobles of the demon realm.”

γ…€

Alfred continued the story.

γ…€

“From today, the next three days will be a holiday in this area. And every year at this time, it is customary to have a party with the nobles of Iam and the demon realm. Usually, a member of the royal family would attend. . .”

γ…€

“I see, so that’s why we’re here.”

γ…€

Alfred nodded.

γ…€

“I’m sorry for the sudden request, but could you consider it?”

γ…€

“I don’t mind.”

γ…€

Luke shrugged his shoulders.

γ…€

“I’m the one who’s being taken care of, so that’s a small task. I’ll ask Alma later.”

γ…€

“Thank you very much. I feel relieved to hear you say that.”

γ…€

Alfred bowed and left.

γ…€

“I expected it, but there really is such a thing. Is this also a duty as a noble. . .”

γ…€

Luke lay down on the sandy beach with a sigh.

γ…€

He had imagined that there would be official occasions as a noble when Flora made a proposal.

γ…€

Iam, a major trading post with the demon realm, is an existence that cannot be ignored by the Arrogas royal family.

γ…€

Probably, the reason why the royal family comes to Iam every year at this time is largely to participate in this party.

γ…€

“Even during a vacation, there’s work like this, so being a royal isn’t easy.”

γ…€

“What’s wrong? You’re sighing.”

γ…€

Then Alma came back.

γ…€

Her satisfied eyes were sparkling, and her wet black hair was giving off a different luster than usual.

γ…€

A drop of water flowed into her deeply cut chest.

γ…€

Luke, who was involuntarily fascinated by her appearance, coughed and opened his mouth to explain what Alfred had asked him earlier.

γ…€

“Ah. . . well, tomorrow night. . .”

 γ…€

The great hall of the Azure Palace was filled with people’s chatter.

γ…€

Nobles dressed in splendor gathered here and there, blooming in laughter and conversation.

γ…€

As expected in the southern country, the clothes they wore were all open and cool.

γ…€

Suddenly, the conversation of the nobles stopped.

γ…€

Everyone’s gaze was focused on one point.

γ…€

What was there. . . were Luke and Alma, who had stepped into the great hall with their arms crossed.

γ…€

“I wonder, am I okay. . . I’m not standing out, am I?”

γ…€

“You’re fine. It suits you well.”

γ…€

Alma was adorned with a large flower dyed in vivid blue dress, silver accessories, and pure white sandals.

γ…€

Her jet-black hair was tied up high and tied with silver lace.

γ…€

Luke was wearing a pure white suit made of woven hemp.

γ…€

All of them were tailored by Alfred, and they fit the two perfectly without even measuring.

γ…€

“I wonder when he prepared such a dress. I just heard about the party yesterday.”

γ…€

“He’s really a royal butler.”

γ…€

The whispers of the people followed the two who entered the great hall.

γ…€

γ…€

“Hey, who’s that amazing beauty?”

γ…€

“That’s Alma Rampart, the only daughter of Rampart Margrave. She’s said to be on vacation in Iam.”

γ…€

“You can see she’s here. But what a beauty. I thought this year’s festival would be boring because Flora-sama couldn’t come, but this is great, I’m glad I came.”

γ…€

“That’s Alma-sama. . . She rarely appears in such places. I wonder if I can get closer to her on this occasion.”

γ…€

“It’s impossible for a lower-class noble like you. Alma-sama is said to be on good terms with Flora-sama. Even now, she’s said to be staying here at the Azure Palace.”

γ…€

γ…€

“Ugh. . . I’m embarrassed. . .”

γ…€

Alma, who was attracting the eyes of curiosity and admiration from the party, trembled slightly as if shrinking.

γ…€

“I knew it, a rough person like me is not suitable for such a place. . .”

γ…€

“That’s not true. That dress suits Alma very well. I don’t want to show it to anyone.”

γ…€

Alma’s earlobes turned bright red at Luke’s whisper in her ear.

γ…€

“Don’t tease me!”

γ…€

γ…€

The gaze of the party was not only on Alma but also on Luke.

γ…€

“That’s the Narejji Count. . . He’s still young. Isn’t my son much older?”

γ…€

“Apparently, he ousted his uncle and took the seat of Count.”

γ…€

“And he seems to have a strong connection with the royal family. Despite appearances, he’s quite a go-getter. We might be better off having a connection with him.”

γ…€

γ…€

γ…€

“That’s quite a rumor.”

γ…€

Luke let out a bitter smile at the nobles’ murmurs.

γ…€

“Luke didn’t oust him, that’s a terrible misunderstanding!”

γ…€

“Well, if you look at the facts, there are parts that can be taken that way.”

γ…€

Luke shrugged his shoulders at Alma, who bit her lips as if outraged by the nobles’ murmurs.

γ…€

“Now, we’re here as proxies for Flora-sama. Let’s fulfill our duties properly.”

γ…€

The two stepped into the circle of people with their arms crossed.
