Liliaās group, who had temporarily separated from Kaito, were on their way to Seigi and Cattleyaās place ahead of Kaito. The staff member led them to the room where Cattleya was first, and after a few knocks, Lilia and the others were ushered inside.
[Long time no see, Cathy. Congratulations on your big day.]
After a brief greeting with Cattleya, who was happy to see Lilia, Lunamaria and the others greeted Cattleya in turn.
After the greetings, Lilia suddenly noticed that there was another person in the room who wasnāt a servant and lightly bowed to her.
[If it isnāt High Priestess Gloria, itās been a while.]
[Itās been a while, Princess Lilianneā¦ā¦ No, itās now Duchess Lilia, isnāt it?]
[The presence of the High Priestess here meansā¦ā¦]
[Yes. Iām in charge of this wedding.]
Watching Lilia talking to a woman in an elegant priest outfitā¦ā¦ Gloria from a little distance away, Aoi turned to ask Lunamaria.
[Luna-san, who is that person?]
[The High Priestess of the Cathedral in Symphonia Kingdomās royal capitalā¦ā¦ In other words, sheās someone among the top. As expected, the wedding of a princess is a big deal for the church.]
While Aoi and Hina nodded in agreement after hearing Lunamariaās explanation, Cattleya slightly looked around, and tilting her head, she called out to Lilia, who had finished talking to Gloria.
[ā¦ā¦Ummm, Elder Sister Lilia? Is Miyama-sama not here?]
[Ahh, Kaito-san has gone to pick up his companion. Iām sure theyāll be here soon since he has his Teleportation Magic Toolā¦ā¦]
[Ahh, so thatās how it is. By the way, I havenāt asked him yet, but do you know who his companion is?]
[Iām sorry, I myself have just heard about it, so I havenāt heard who it isā¦ā¦]
[I seeā¦ā¦ If itās possible, we would like someone among the Six Kings or the Supreme Gods to comeā¦ā¦]
Hearing the words Cattleya muttered, wishing for the visit of someone among the Six Kings or the Supreme Godsā¦ā¦ Lilia understood how she felt.
This is because Lilia also used to struggle with making connections and foils when she was just starting up the Albert Duchy.
She made far more tremendous connections than she had sought through Kaitoās influence, but as a fellow noble, she understands how Cattleya feels.
[I know how Cathy feels. When youāre a member of a new noble family, you would need connections and foils, right?]
[Yes. Especially since Seigi is an otherworlder and doesnāt have many friends here yetā¦ā¦ If itās possible, I would like to have one or two connections I could rely on in this ceremony.]
[I know how you feel, because Iāve struggled with it beforeā¦ā¦ but for this event, what Cathy hopes might not end up happening.]
[Ahhā¦ā¦ I knew that, but Miyama-sama and we donāt have too many mutual acquaintances. I have met Phantasmal King-sama in Miyama-samaās presence butā¦ā¦]
[ā¦ā¦Alice-sama is, wellā¦ā¦ I think she will be hereā¦ā¦ but I donāt think sheāll show herself.]
Although she had a disappointed expression on her face, Cattleya seemed to have expected this to some extent. Incidentally, Alice would usually be guarding Kaito, so if Kaito is there, she would surely be aroundā¦ā¦ but considering her character, she will not attend the weddingā¦ā¦ or at least, she would not attend as Phantasmal King.
[But then, who is this companion who would be attending with him?]
[ā¦ā¦Itās just my guess, but since Kaito-san has recently become acquainted with people who used to play the role of Hero and emigrated here, itās possible that such people would come to attend butā¦ā¦]
[ā¦ā¦Elder Sister Lilia?]
[Cathy, please wait a moment.]
Stopping mid-sentence, Lilia approached Lunamaria with a slightly pale expression on her face and whispered to her ears.
[ā¦ā¦Luna, this has completely slipped my mindā¦ā¦ but what do you think is the possibility of Neun-sama attending?]
[Itās possibleā¦ā¦ but I donāt want to imagine that happening.]
[If First Hero-sama really came to attend, a huge panic would occur! Only a few people know that sheās still aliveā¦ā¦]
[ā¦ā¦Any chance that it could be Eden-sama?]
As Sieg called out to them and approached, Lilia and Lunamaria were reminded of a possible big name who one wouldnāt think would comeā¦ā¦ someone who, in some cases, maybe more important than the coming of the Six Kings or the Supreme Gods, and became flustered.
[ā¦ā¦Is it even possible? However, that person seems to think of everyone that isnāt born of her world as little more than insectsā¦ā¦]
[As Mitsunaga-kun could be considered as her child, I donāt think itās impossibleā¦ā¦ but it would be hell on earth if she really came.]
And there, another existence came to their mindā¦ā¦ an incredibly dangerous God. Compared to Neun though, she is less likely to come.
Itās unlikely that Eden would go out of her way to visit a place where there are large numbers of what Eden refers to as lumps of fleshā¦ā¦ But they also couldnāt dismiss the possibility that Eden, who loves her children dearly, would come to see Seigiās big event.
[ā¦ā¦Itās only a rumor, but it seems that many nobles were given hell by her at the Six Kings Festival, and she has become a trauma for a good number of nobles.]
[Luna and I donāt know much about the rumors about the noblesā¦ā¦ but was it really that bad?]
[Yes, it seems that there are even a few people who have beenā¦ā¦ āforced to experience firsthandā what happens when they harm Kaito-san.]
[ā¦ā¦I guess she could do that, I heard sheās a God comparable to Shallow Vernal-sama, isnāt she? She should be able to easily make you experience the possible future ahead of them, and with her character, she wouldnāt hesitate to do thatā¦ā¦ Milady, itās a disaster. I donāt feel relieved at all anymore.]
[ā¦ā¦I should have asked him who he was bringing with him.]
With the calm expression she had until a little while ago going somewhere unknown, Lilia placed her hand on her aching stomach and looked up to the heavens with a pale expression on her face.
