The 21st day of the month of Saturday. Currently I was getting ready in front of the mirror.
　The person reflected in the mirror is dressed in a shimmering black-based formal attire, and her hair is set perfectly, so at a glance she may look like a nobleman or something.....
　This formal wear was given to me by Lilia-san the other day, and it looks like she prepared it for the place I'm heading to this time.

　I'm supposed to attend the birthday party of Amalie-san, the first princess of the Sinfonia Kingdom, held at the royal palace today.
　Amalie is the heiress to the first throne, and this party seems to be a very high-class affair, so I have to dress appropriately to attend.

　As I was checking in front of the mirror a few times, I heard a knock on the door and headed for the carriage that had been prepared at the front with Zeke-san, who came to pick me up.
　As we continued on down the corridor in line, Zeke-san looked at me with a serious expression and spoke to me.


Yes, sir.

　Of course Zeke knows what this party means. Of course Zeke knew what the party was about.
　The purpose of this party was not only to celebrate Amalie's birthday, but also to have a greater meaning.

　For Lilia-san, Sieg-san and Lunamaria-san, it's a day to settle their past fates... Today, Lilia-san will take the evidence gathered by Alice and expose the guilt of the nobleman who once framed the Second Division of the Knights with the evidence she gathered.
　The scenario seems to have been assembled by Alice, and it seems to have already been passed on to Lilia-san, as well as Rise and Amalie-san.

　I don't know the details.......honestly I'm not a good actor, so I didn't ask them not to make a bad gaffe.
　However, one thing I regret to say is that because this party is very prestigious, the number of people who can enter the venue will be narrowed down considerably.

''........Luna and I will not be able to enter the hall.
'Yes but I can't do anything special about it...'

　Participation in this party is restricted to the head of the family with a title within the Symphonia Kingdom, his or her marriage partner, and the first child who will be his or her successor, and the rest are restricted to guests from other countries, and Lilia-san is the head of the family, so she's eligible to participate, but I originally couldn't attend.
　Thanks to Lasse-san arranging for me as a substitute for Mitsunaga-kun, who was playing the role of a hero, I was able to enter the venue as well.

　

The mere fact that Kite-san is accompanying me will strengthen Lili's voice as a nobleman, and that alone is more than enough support.
''I see... well, if I can help you, Lilia-san, I'll do my best as much as I can.
Yes, I'll be waiting for good news.











　When I arrived at the royal castle, what I saw was an overwhelming scene of gleaming carriages lined up in a row.
　The fact that so many heavyweights are gathered together means that the security is that much tighter.......and many knights were lined up around the castle's gates.

　You present the invitation to the gatekeeper and enter the castle. Only those who have an invitation are allowed to enter the large hall where the event will take place, but each person can be accompanied by up to three guards until the front of the hall.
　As for Alice, I decided not to count her as she would make a scene if she showed up, so I asked Anima, Eta and Theta to follow me as my bodyguard.

　All three of them had been instructed by Zeke and Luna Maria beforehand, and they were following behind at a distance from me and Lilia-san, who were walking side by side.

''After all, there's only a place for a place, so the atmosphere is different from the last time we came here.
Yes, the First Princess is that important to this country.
''Is it okay?　I'm grateful for the opportunity to use that venue...

　She speaks in a whisper to Lilia-san, who is dressed in a beautifully decorated and luxurious dress, instead of the simple one she always wears.
　In a place where the majority of the aristocracy is gathered, pursuing the sins of the past.......this is very effective, and hopefully, public opinion will be on Lilia-san's side.
　By the way, as far as timing is concerned, the most effective time is right before the party starts, so it's supposed to be done there.

''It's okay. It's a good thing that she's much stronger than I am. First of all, I have no doubt that they will definitely use it to successfully solidify their own ground.
Oh, really?
Yes, I'm sure you're the most likely candidate for the next king.

　When we met before, I had the impression of a bright and elegant princess, but that was just the way she was with her family, and it seems that she behaves differently in an official setting. As expected of royalty.......

　In the meantime, we reached the entrance of the hall and at one end we were separated from all the guards here.

''Then, master. We ourselves will wait in the vicinity of the hall. If anything happens, we'll rush over immediately, so don't worry.
Yeah. Nice to meet you, Anima.
Ha!
Eta and Theta, too.
"Yes!

　Encouraged by the three voices that gave firm replies, I took one look at Lilia, who was similarly being encouraged by Zeke and Lunamaria next to me, and then walked into the hall with them.

　Inside the venue, it was a gorgeous space that I had already seen only in anime and games.
　It was such a dazzling and overwhelming sight that it made me feel as if the entire hall was shining. Everywhere you look, you can see people who look wealthy........very aristocratic.

　I'm not sure what to expect, but now I'm getting nervous. It's not like I'm going to be doing anything directly, but the place where so many people have gathered is a hard hurdle to overcome for a former loner.
　As I was thinking like that, I felt the hem of my clothes being lightly picked and turned around to see Lilia-san looking at me with a slightly anxious expression.

''........No.
Yeah, it's an amazing sight, and I'm starting to get nervous.
Even Kite, you're nervous, aren't you?
Hey, Lilia?　What the hell do you think I am?
Excuse me?

　 I'm quite happy.

　For what it's worth, I've been indebted to Lilia-san ever since I came to this world.
　If it wasn't for Lilia-san who was the first person I met when I came to this world, I'm sure I wouldn't be the person I am today.
　That's why I'm so grateful to Lilia-san, and I want to be of help to her.

''........Lilia-san, I know there's not much I can do, but I'm supporting you. Please do your best.
"...Kite. Thank you. Those words are really reassuring.

　Hearing my words, Lilia-san smiled happily, and then looked around the hall with her eyes caged in strong light.............and silently stared at a point.

　Dear Mother, Father--I came to the royal castle to participate in Amalie-san's birthday party.










　At the same time, behind the temple in the Kingdom of Symphonia, a light fills the building where the gate leading to the divine world is located.

''Well, according to the Phantom King's letter, it's about time.......''

　The goddess begins to walk leisurely as she flutters her deep blue hair and stares forward with eyes of different colors on either side.
　The scenario written by the Phantom King No Face.......plays an important role in it. She is the trump card for Lilia.

''Then shall I also head to the royal castle........''

　After muttering that, the Supreme God of Time........Kronor went to his friend who was to protect him.
