Val and Meena had been invited to a royal dinner.
　Val unusually complied, and Meena agreed because she had heard that he was going to attend.
''Yagami Akira has given you that much authority, but I'm glad you complied and kept your menswear.
　The emperor is honestly happy.
　In this way, it was hard to believe that he was the supreme authority of a country, but in Val's opinion, this was the emperor's strength.
　The dinner was to be held in the dining hall of the palace.
　It's a waste of space, as it's a small number of people in a space that could hold fifty people at the same time.

''How was the Elven Nation?''
　The Empress questions her bloodless daughter.
'There was a lot of greenery, the air was good, the food was good, and there were a lot of magical tools, even though it was like a village. I wonder if it's the plants that make the air so good when there's so much greenery?　So does that mean that if we make more green, we will become elves too?
　Beate's story always took a funny turn in the middle.
　Her birth mother is horrified, but the royals are giggling.
　They are basically good mothers and daughters, and Val thinks that's part of the reason why they don't have a personality that people don't like.

(Except for the most uptight types: ......)
　An overly liberal Beate would be a headache for a chief chamberlain, for example, with her respect for tradition, for formality and decorum, and for discipline and rigor personified.
　The fact that she had no ill will at all made her unmanageable.
'I'm glad that Beate was able to serve as an ambassador safely. Maybe it's because of Vilhemina.

　The crown prince said that and praised Meena.
　Since the crown prince has praised you, it's the common courtesy of a vassal to respond in some way, but Meena decides to ignore it completely.

''Meena,''
　She finally opens her mouth as Val chides her.
'You're not much of a royalist if you tell your subjects to follow you. Well, it's more endearing than arrogance.''
　Her birth mother frowned more than the Crown Prince at the harsh words.
　The person who was told and the emperor laughed.
　The reason is that they've learned to let Meena speak, and they've learned enough to know that this is what happens when you let her speak.
　The head chamberlain, who apparently could hear them even from a distance, held his stomach.
　Normally, it was the role of the Ministry of Liturgy to teach the royal family how to talk to each other.
　However, the chamberlain, who was serious and formal in nature, seemed to feel like a blunder on his part.
'Meena, the chamberlain is going to die. Cut back a little.
Yes, I'll be careful.
　When it was Val who paid attention, it was Meena who became sullen.
　Seeing this, Beate laughed and said, "As long as Val is here, you can rest assured that he will take the reins of Meena.

'As long as Val is here, you can rest assured that he will take the reins of Meena.
Without Bartholomew, I guess that means you're too anxious.
　The empress said the right thing, but the emperor and the crown prince pretended not to hear.
　Of course, Meena ignored them.
'Well, we have Bartolomeus, so we'll be fine.
　The Crown Prince says.
　It's not even close to an inappropriate answer to the idea that the situation is in danger of relying on Val.
　But surprisingly few have realized that.
'You know what I mean,'
　Meena was in a slightly better mood.
　'It was you!' A number of people thought it was a good idea, but no one said anything about it.
　It was obvious that they would be ignored.

(It's not the fault of the people who invited Vilhemina: ......)
　Princess Josephine has such a conversation with her mother.
(It's Your Majesty, who insisted on inviting her.)
　Her mother's face was resigned.
　So far there has been no mention of Rutiger and his friends.
　They seem to be treated as if they never existed.
