"Ah, I return..." Upon hearing his brother's cold welcome, the Hero was about to respond when the Fourteenth Princess suddenly stepped forward, her pink eyes calmly meeting her brother's gaze.
[Fourteenth Princess's negotiation was a critical success, granting the Hero's mind a stability bonus of 50 upon the activation of the curse]
"I am pleased that the Kingdom has gained another talented youth." The Fourteenth Princess spoke indifferently, her voice not loud but clear to everyone present. "If that's the case, I suppose you won't mind my attendance at today's banquet?"
Her demeanor was impeccable, her tone elegant, yet it carried an unyielding assertiveness.
A Legendary Mage... even though not a melee professional, possesses the strength to crush the weak with a flick of their fingers.
But the Fourteenth Princess, standing before the Hero's brother, showed no hint of hesitation, even displaying the aloofness of a high-ranking individual.
"...Of course, it would be my honor."
