In the hall on the second floor.
The magicians who were invited to the banquet had already arrived, and they sat around the large dining table according to the emblem on the napkin.
The breakfast prepared by the servants of the city of stripping was very sumptuous.
For example, in front of King Ermero II and his hooded follower, there were black sausages and baked beans with taro. On the side, there was hard toasted bread and sweet butter. There were also two carbonated drinks on the table.
On the other side, there was an East Asian man who came from the [Way of Cultivation]. He was wearing a white kasaya with an eye patch covering his right eye. He was a young man around 25 years old. In front of him were several plates of vegetarian dishes, including stir-fried mushrooms and tofu soup.
It seemed that the servants in Peel City had prepared the specialties of each country according to the origin of each guest. It could be said that they were very attentive.
When Ryuga and Luvia arrived, King Ermero II was arguing with a beautiful woman in a kimono.
"You can just call me Ryukari, King Ermero II."
The person who said this was a beautiful woman wearing a long-sleeved kimono. Her black hair reached almost to her ankles, and she wore a pair of black-rimmed glasses. She gave off a graceful impression.
She pursed her lips and smiled at King Ermero II.
However, although she was smiling, the impression that she gave people was not very friendly. Instead, she gave people the feeling that she was a snake that had set its eyes on its prey. She had a dangerous feeling that she would devour people as long as she saw the right opportunity. If one were to describe her, it would be a femme fatale.
"I'm sorry, but I'm a coward. I'm not good at dealing with beautiful women, Ms. Karano."
King Ermero II sat in front of the table. When he saw Karano Ryukari, he became serious. Although he looked like a serious person, when he was in front of Karano Ryukari, his serious personality was close to the point of neurosis.
It was no wonder.
Karano Ryukari was the host of this inheritance ceremony. In other words, he was a magician from the [Way of Law].
Any magician wouldn't dare to be careless or disrespectful in front of the magicians from the [Law Department]. Even the monarch, who was the symbol of the Clock Tower's authority, couldn't ignore them.
According to Luvia, even though Ermero had a high status, he was the weakest among all of them. Even though he was the noblest monarch, he was only a second-rate magician. It was only natural that he would be wary of Karano Ryuji.
"Aiya, although you say so, don't you have a very cute follower by your side?"
Narano Rei shifted his gaze to the hooded girl next to Ermero II, causing her to tremble slightly. Like a rabbit being stared at by a ferocious snake, she shrunk back slightly and hid behind Ermero II with a look that said, "You can't see me."
"Yes, but that's because I don't want to see Grey's face at all. That's why I told her to cover her face with the hood."
Ermero II said something very rude to his follower, but the hooded girl, Grey, didn't show any signs of retorting.
"You're so funny."
Karano Ryukari looked at Ermero II, who was covered in thorns, and smiled. She didn't talk to him anymore. Instead, she sat down at the table and ate her breakfast.
However, she didn't seem to have given up on the idea of going against Ermero. She immediately pointed her finger at Luvia.
"Miss Edfeld, I don't think I've seen your follower before. Did you transfer her from your family? "
Karano Ryukari smiled charmingly at Luvia.
At the same time, King Ermero II and his attendant Grey, as well as a bearded man who looked like a mercenary with a dozen knives wrapped around his waist, all looked at the two of them.
From the beginning, they were all very concerned about Ryuga's arrival.
"So what if I am?"
Luvia sat in front of the table and calmly picked up her food while replying, "Do I need your permission to let my follower stay?"
Even though she was being stared at by several magicians and was being questioned by Karano Ryukari, Luvia didn't show any signs of fear. She was as proud as a white swan, and she treated all the doubts and disdain as the jealousy of an ugly duckling.
In the end, even though the [Department of Justice] was scary, and even Ermero II had to respect them, they were only a department of the Clock Tower. To Luvia, who was born in Finland, the [Department of Justice] was like the inspection department of another country. She didn't fear them at all.
She wasn't a magician of the Clock Tower, so the [Department of Justice] couldn't control her.
It was because of this that Ryuga didn't want to use her family's influence to enter the Clock Tower. Although the Clock Tower couldn't interfere with the Edfeld family of Finland, the family couldn't reach the Clock Tower either.
"Of course not. I just hope that you can take care of this follower. At this time, such a follower will attract a lot of attention."
Karano Ryukari said this, and the bearded man who looked like a mercenary nodded in agreement.
To be honest, being in such close contact with an alien species really made them feel a chill down their spines. They really didn't feel that their lives were guaranteed, and it wouldn't be strange if they were ambushed and eaten by the alien species at any time.
Emelo II didn't say anything and just ate his breakfast in silence.
However, Grey noticed that his wrist was also trembling slightly. Presumably, it was also because he was afraid of such a strange creature. Moreover, they had a direct confrontation with the other party last night … Now that she thought about it, it was really great that her master's words could pass the test.
Grey thought this in her heart.
Although she had only been her master's disciple for two months, she more or less understood his personality. He was the kind of person who would never show weakness in front of others. The more afraid and afraid he was, the more he would pretend to be arrogant and cold. He was an awkward man.
Although he wanted to keep up appearances, he always gave people the illusion of 'Is this guy really not afraid?'. He always did a good job on the surface.
Ryuga stood silently behind Luvia with the attitude of a loyal follower. She didn't even eat the breakfast on the table.
Even when he heard Karano Ryukari's words and saw the other magicians staring at him, he didn't feel the slightest fluctuation in his heart.
These people were all irrelevant passersby to him. Of course, he didn't care if they were afraid of him or if they were targeting him.
Breakfast was quickly over.
"It's not suitable to go out during the day. When night comes, let's go out and investigate."
Luvia considered Ryuga's characteristics and after thinking about it, she made this suggestion.
Because the hall wasn't directly illuminated by the sun, Ryuga didn't use the ring. But once he walked under the sun, his magic would be drained by the ring within two minutes.
