176 – Debuting in the social world is difficult! # 6
A summer evening as the sun sets.
“Now! Move your luggage! Move your luggage!”
“The elephants are coming in! Leave some space in the palace garden!”
The sky was showing a romantic mood as the red sunset was setting, but Ordor Castle was as bright and busy as day.
The endless stream of delegations, guests, and visitors’ carriages continued beyond the royal garden and all the way to the main gate of the capital.
“Look at that! “It’s a white tiger!”
“They must have come from the desert!”
The princess’s birthday was a big festival even within the Kingdom of Ordor.
People came out into the streets and opened their mouths to see the world’s rarest things being loaded onto each wagon and delegations coming from all over the world.
Bards and clowns from other countries began playing strange instruments, and fireworks shot by wizards and gunpowder magicians exploded loudly into the sky.
Children from all over the world began to appear one by one in the spacious and luxurious banquet hall of the villa.
“Prince Wecare from the Principality of Lazador is entering─.”
“Hmm, how are you all?”
“Please give me the Lady Soso of the Tang clan who has come from the Palcheon region on the eastern side of the continent.”
“It’s been a while, everyone.”
“Everyone make way, the three princes of the Seraphim Kingdom are coming!”
“Excuse me for a moment.”
The maids and servants boasted to each other and raised their voices as if they were boasting.
Their voices were loud and full of pride, filled with pride for the family they served and their small owners.
The children who are invited to the banquet at Princess Ordor’s villa are all golden jade leaves that have grown up in love without knowing that they are high in the sky.
The average age of the group was about 12 years old, but the intrigue and nervous warfare that went back and forth felt more blatant than that of adults.
It was like that.
All of the children here are the favorites of Emperor Studies, having learned to reign and rule over others from a young age.
The hundred or so children gathered at this place were the future protagonists who would rule the social world and the world’s political situation 20 and 40 years later.
“Miss Soso, today’s banquet is not just a festival. This is like a mock battle with the family name on your back… ! Good luck… !”
“I know. Still, this year’s level is okay. At this level, wouldn’t it be possible to achieve a high rank in voting without much effort?”
Lady Soso, wearing a black cheongsam dress who came from the eastern provinces, shook her brown hair tied up like a dumpling and laughed.
It was then.
Zek-.
Someone grabbed Soso’s hair her
How dare you grab the lady’s hair so carelessly?
Soso glared sharply at this rude act.
Then I saw a girl with strange black hair.
“What are you?”
“I am Naru!”
“… Naru?”
It had already been two years since Lady Soso had been invited to this banquet, but this was the first time she had heard the name ‘Naru’. Is this child participating for the first time?
No, that was probably a good thing.
“Can you please stop touching my hair?”
“I thought you had a dumpling on your head!”
“…”
Soso kept quiet because she didn’t want to talk anymore, but in her mind she thought, ‘What kind of kid is this?’
But it was a common occurrence.
This is my first time participating in the banquet of these small owners, and I am embarrassed by doing something foolish.
This was often the case for children from emerging families who had recently received a noble title.
‘Looking at his black hair, he looks like Barbaroi. Was there any family among the Barbaroi that received a new title and became noble?’
Lady Soso of the Palcheon region was a fairly intelligent girl.
A list of families from all over the continent, which I had memorized since I was young, popped into my head, but I knew nothing about this girl named Naru.
In times like this, it was better to ask honestly.
“Did you say Naru? What is your father’s title? For your information, my father, Soso, is a general of the Tao Empire. “Her grandfather was the prime minister.”
Soso said that and was subtly boastful.
She had fun bragging to people attending the banquet for the first time about how great a family she was born into.
Now, this little Barbaroi boy who seems to have come from a remote corner of the country will either praise Soso or want to become friends with his eyes shining.
Then, Soso would give her a small gift and encourage her to vote for him, and it was clear that she would become friends with the family of her.
It was like that.
It looked like a children’s banquet, but it was definitely a microcosm of the world.
However, it was good for Naru to be like that.
Naru just thought this dumpling head was amazing.
But she will have to answer the questions.
“Naru’s dad plays at home! Naru’s grandfather also plays at home!”
“…”
“Instead, her great-grandfather is a member of the National Assembly! But she’s on the verge of being caught for corruption, so she doesn’t know how long that will last! Still, if I hold on this time, I’ll even challenge for the presidential election!”
What is a member of the National Assembly?
So thought she heard an unfamiliar word.
Since the word “Member” Is included, does it mean that he is a member of the council of elders of some republic or something?
Soso’s specialty was understanding people’s living standards.
Wanting to dig a little deeper into this strange child, she decided to ask a few more questions.
“Did you say Naru? “What is your hobby?”
“Naru has been sleeping for the past few days! In other words, dragonfly is called dragon fly. Therefore, dragonflies are dragons! Awesome! Dragonflies are great at catching mosquitoes!”
It was a very strange story.
Soso soon came to her conclusion about Naru.
‘… He seems a little lacking. I need to take him with me and take care of him.’
Although Soso was a girl who grew up as an innocent person, she was a girl who knew how to have a big heart towards the weak. Not only Soso, but most of her children at this banquet were like that.
She won’t get really angry at her ant just because the lion got bitten by her ant her her her.
Of course, there were some brats who were so self-righteous and arrogant that she would immediately crush her ants to death, but the important thing was that Soso harbored some pity for her her Naru her her her her.
‘If I show myself taking good care of this child… , Prince Elric might praise me!’
She wasn’t just pure kindness either.
Soso had a fiancé chosen by her family as soon as she was born, and she was a prince from a neighboring country.
Prince Elric.
His age is 15.
The way he was talking with other men in the distance was really cool.
Pot-.
Perhaps because he made eye contact with her, Prince Elric, with blonde hair, blue eyes, and a high nose, approached Soso. Soso was only 7 years old, but her cheeks immediately blushed when she saw that handsome face!
“Well, well, prince…” “Hello.”
“You must be Soso, my fiancé. “This is the first time we’ve met like this since your birthday three months ago, right?”
“To be exact, three months, 22 days and three hours have passed.”
“Haha, I see. Soso has a good head on her head.”
Sseukseu-.
As the prince was stroking Soso’s head, Naru, who was watching this scene, raised both her hands high. And then he shouted.
“Oh wow…! There is a huge age difference between the two!”
At the age of 15, Prince Elric had not yet shed his boyish appearance, but he still seemed like an adult.
People with blond hair and blue eyes tend to grow up quickly.
Elric had broad shoulders and was very tall, about 177cm.
However, at the age of 7, Soso had not even lost her baby fat and her face was round. His body was straight and flat, and he was quite short.
A combination that doesn’t go well in many ways.
Soso was also concerned about this age difference, so she frowned for no reason.
‘Naru, you… ! ‘Naughty little boy!’
I wanted to be angry, but I couldn’t because it was in front of my fiancé.
Of course, Elric was a natural prince with great royal power who had been kidnapped by thieves three times in his life, so he smiled kindly and stroked Soso’s hair hers.
“Are you okay. In just 10 years, you will definitely become a wonderful woman. By that time, all the men will be lining up to talk to you. “I will be standing in that line too.”
Soso was in a very good mood.
But she also felt a little disappointed.
‘After 10 years, you will become a wonderful woman… ‘. ‘Not now?’
“Hey! Elric! With that out of the way, come this way! Let me introduce you to my real sister! She is a student at Damian Academy and she turns 16 this year.”
“Hello, Prince Elric. I heard a lot of stories from my brother. Ho ho ho.”
Prince Elric went to the world of adults (at least people who look like adults to a 6 or 7 year old) at the people’s call.
Seeing that scene, Soso trembled.
“I want to become an adult quickly too! But even now, I am still a wonderful woman. To prove that… , I have no choice but to win this year’s vote!”
Being chosen as the princess of the year.
That was Soso’s goal
But this year it was close to impossible.
This year, the ‘Neva de Balluntari’ participated in the banquet.
It had already been decided that ‘Neva’ would be chosen as this year’s princess.
The main characters of today’s birthday party were Princess Ordor and Neva.
Because it was that kind of event.
‘How can there be no way… ? .’
# # # #
“Naru, have you become friends with people?”
Cecily, who was walking around the banquet hall, asked.
Cecily, very, very unfortunately, had not made any friends.
It was the same for Hina.
“We… I’m being checked…”
Hina and Cecily were being quietly bullied.
When the boys and girls who were attracted to Cecily and Hina’s noble and beautiful appearance tried to talk to them, someone would come up and whisper to them, making them keep the distance away.
“Maybe it was Neva’s doing…” ” .”
Hina was a smart girl.
So they were able to figure out that this was Princess Neva’s plot to isolate themselves.
If things continue like this, Hina and Cecily’s social debut will be a mess.
Of course, Naru liked that kind of thing.
“When is dinner served?”
Naru was waiting for dinner time.
Because I was hungry.
But everyone was walking around and saying, “How many acres does our mansion have?” .” Or “The level of the newly brought in… “We were just chatting about boring stories.
“Soso, when are you having dinner?”
Naru asked Soso.
Then Soso, who had been quiet, was started and asked Naru back.
“Are you friends with these kids?”
In Soso’s opinion, Hina and Cecily were cute-looking girls. They were so pretty that it wouldn’t be strange for them to be the main characters of the banquet, and they seemed to be close friends with Naru.
Naru shook her head.
“No! Cecily and Hina are not friends, they are Naru’s sisters!”
“Biological sisters?”
“That’s right!”
‘… Why are the three sisters so different? Are they really sisters?’
When Soso was curious, Hina spoke.
“We are…” Mom… “There are three!”
As she said that, Hina snorted as if she was extremely proud.
Having many mothers.
It was proof that her father was a great person, so it was something she could be proud of.
Since Su So also knew it, she definitely had no choice but to ask.
“Who is your dad? Naru, what is your father’s name?”
“My dad’s name is Judah! I am Naru Baryu!”
Judas!
Soso was well aware of the fearsomeness of that name. Of course, there were no aspects that really struck me, but I knew that he was a great person.
It was the same for the people who were listening to these strange children’s conversation.
“Judah’s daughter?”
“Oh my god, I guess the rumors were true!”
Rumbling-.
Before we knew it, people were crowding around the three children.
Thanks to that, Soso was thrown away from Naru and his group and fell to the floor.
“Ayaa! Ugh, it hurts… What is it, everyone, I became friends with Naru first… Huh?”
It was time to get up, patting her dusty knees with her palm.
Soso saw the blue-haired girl holding on to her blue dress and shaking.
It was Princess Neva.
“… This year’s main character is me!”
