-Next day, at the Western Rainheart's Empire Banquet Hall-

'Sparkle, Sparkle'

Rainheart's main ballroom shimmered and sparkled at its glamor.

Golden borders paired up with white pearl walls.

Flooring with marble white pearl with golden diamond shape pattern.

Its red velvet carpet aligns with the entry hall down to the royal throne chairs.

Red velvet carpets with golden borders above its indoor balconies from the second-floor stations.

'Sparkle, Sparkle'

Its beautiful golden chandeliers shining against the reflection of the setting sun.

'Chatter, Chatter'

Nobles from everywhere from the Rainheart Empire, foreigners who love to make powerful connections, and even nobles from Naria Kingdom.

They joyfully chatted as they zipped on the red refined wine.

Many curious people had come to celebrate the banquet held for the mysterious God Of War.

Many of them thought if they attended they could possibly meet the hidden identity of the mysterious knight who led Rainheart to victory as a representative of the royal family.

A mysterious man that disappeared as soon as he claimed victory.

And that very person...

-Rainheart's outside gardens-

'Step, Step, Step'

"P-Princess... huff...puff...Zellyliana w-wait!" (Fern, said)

'Halt'

Stop running

Young Duke Fern De Lux, an eighteen-year-old young man with brown hair and dark grey eyes had stopped breathlessly as he placed his hands down on his thighs.

'Ahh, I can't believe I lost her!' (Fern's inner thoughts)

'She's too fast!' (Fern's inner thoughts)

"Huff...Puff" (Fern)

Fern breathed heavily.

After a few minutes, he caught his breath back and stood up.

"Maybe she went the other way, if I go in here I'll get lost" (Fern, said)

He looked at the entrance of a tall complicated green garden maze.

"I'll look at the ballroom" (Fern, said)

'Turn'

He said with a perverted smile before leaving.

'Step, Step, Step'

Walking away.

'Step, Step, Step'

Walking away.

"Haa" (Zellyliana, sighed)

Zellyliana who hid close by sighed in relief as Fern's steps were no longer heard.

'Step, Step'

Walking

'Halt'

Stop walking

She had stepped out of her spot silently to check her surroundings.
