“A delegation from that country will be staying for four days.” ”…...” “Each prince will be given one day to host a banquet. Make sure yours is a success.” “May I ask what the standard for success is?” “Hmm, there are four princes left now, aren’t there?” The imperial family had six children in total. However, with the deaths of the first prince and the fourth princess, only four remained—Second Prince Reginald, Third Prince Hiore, who shared the same mother as…-

“The first banquet will be hosted by His Highness Reginald, the second by His Highness Hiore, the third by His Highness Azil, and the fourth by His Highness Yudit. If anyone has any objections, please speak now.” It seemed like Hiore had picked an awkward day, as his expression was not pleasant, but he did not challenge the Emperor, who had appeared in public after a long time. As the princes remained silent for a while, the attendant turned to confirm the Emperor’s wishes. When the Emperor…

“By the way… it seems like you two are quite close.” At Khalid’s words, Yudit swallowed dryly. Bashur opened his mouth to diffuse the situation. “Well, we have a student-teacher relationship. We’ve known each other for a long time, so it might seem that way.” “Is that so? I almost mistook you two for lovers when I saw you earlier.” Khalid’s words made Bashur burst into laughter. “You’re quite the jokester. I’m already married with two children. Besides, His Highness…

Bashur, who was always cautious, was urging this strongly, which meant there was something more than just the birthday. Yudit checked his schedule for a moment. If it was Wednesday, he had no other plans besides his lesson with Bashur. “My presence at a family gathering might be a burden.” “Burden? Not at all. It would be an honor if you came and graced the occasion.” Hesitant, Yudit asked in a small voice. “I’d rather not stand out, so would it be alright if I took the same…

“Thank you for the offer. I will join you.” Yudit replied without hesitation. Khalid burst into laughter at Yudit’s response. “Anyone who hears this would think we’re starting a business, not becoming partners.” “Ah…” “Then stay alert. I’ll come to pick you up in three days.” Before Yudit could reply, Khalid patted his head lightly and disappeared. Yudit, holding the lantern in front of the bookshelf, quietly watched his retreating figure before shaking his…

“Thank you, teacher.” It was sincere. Who else would think of him like this? It was no simple matter. Everyone involved could die. Especially for Bashur, he had a family—his lovely wife and two children who were the apple of his eye. But it seemed like he was willing to take the risk. Yudit knew the reason why he, who had always been passive, had become so proactive. It was because Khalid, and Reginald tried to kill him. “Teacher.” “Yes, Your Highness.” “I don’t want to…

Yudit felt the air in the banquet hall change in an instant. All eyes were simultaneously on him and Khalid. The density of the air made his head spin. Yudit pressed his feet into the floor to steady himself. The curious gazes of the strangers. Yudit accepted their stares and gradually took a step forward. It seemed people were eager to add their own commentary to this amusing sight. Growing anxious, Yudit leaned toward Khalid and whispered. “When was the last time you attended a banquet with…

“You must take after your mother,” Yudit remarked. “We don’t look alike at all. I was adopted when I was young,” she replied. “Ah… I apologize,” Yudit said, realizing his mistake. “It’s fine,” the woman shook her head nonchalantly. “Let me formally introduce myself. I’m Selena Craven.” “Nice to meet you. I’m Yudit Friedrich Adenauer.” “It’s a bit difficult right now since the guests are using it, but once things calm down a bit, I can bring the machine…

”He really knelt?“ “Does he not know shame?” Despite the murmurs around him, Yudit did not stop lowering himself to his knees. Finally, both his knees and hands touched the ground. He raised his head between Hiore’s legs. People watched this humiliating and degrading spectacle with keen interest. “Looks like he has no pride as a royal. Well, not all royals are the same, after all.” Hiore looked down at Yudit, who was kneeling beneath him, and spoke triumphantly. Yudit did not…

[To Prince Yudit, Hello, Prince Yudit. This is Selena Craven. The weather is growing colder, as winter seems to be approaching. I hope you are spending warm days. The reason I am writing today is that I would like to invite you once again to a banquet. I was disappointed that I could not share the principles of the drink fountain with you the last time we parted. This time, it won’t be a large-scale banquet like before, but a small and cozy gathering at a townhouse. If you could come and grace the…
