“Please let us know if you need anything.”

The two maids who had escorted me here with me in the middle simultaneously bowed their heads, then went to the edge of the banquet hall and stood at attention with their hands clasped in front of their lower abdomens.

Left alone, I looked around here and there.

On one wall, a band of five members was leisurely playing music while holding instruments of unique shapes.

Although I had never seen instruments shaped like that before, the sounds were similar to a piano or violin.

‘That air conditioner is here too.’

No wonder it was much cooler inside than outside.

Beyond the chandelier in the banquet hall, I could see air conditioners diligently doing their job on the ceiling.

There were five of them, probably because the place was so spacious.

It wasn’t that I disliked the existence of such modern items.

It was definitely convenient to have them around.

It was just that the sense of discrepancy was so great that I still couldn’t get used to it.

In the center of the banquet hall, there were three rows of large tables.

They were the same size as or slightly larger than the enormous tables in the underground dining hall of the knighthood.

The tables were filled with food. Dishes like something resembling a whole roasted turkey, a cake stacked in layers almost as tall as a person, and an incredibly thick fish.

Foods that would come to mind when thinking of banquets or parties were laid out in an overwhelming abundance.

‘Even if we just taste one or two bites of each type, it feels like we’ll be full.’

It was better to have too much food than not enough.

However, the amount of food in front of me was so vast that I doubted the five of us could even eat 1/10 of it.

From what I had observed, the knight commanders, except for Lizé, were all light eaters, and even Lizé wasn’t the type to deliberately eat a lot of food.

‘There’s even something like that.’

A fountain placed in the very center of the table was spraying a transparent liquid.

Curious about what it was, I approached it, and a maid instantly stuck close to me.

“Would you like to try it?”

“Before that, what kind of alcohol is thisㅡ”

“Please wait a moment.”

As if taking my non-refusal as acceptance, the maid swiftly grabbed a glass with her white-gloved hand and turned the faucet next to the fountain.

The transparent liquid that had been filled inside flowed out in abundance, and when the glass was half-full, she turned off the faucet and held it out to me.

“Here you go.”

“……”

I, who had unexpectedly ended up sampling it personally, received the glass with a dazed expression.

The maid bowed her head politely and glided back to the wall, standing at attention again.

I blankly sipped the contents of the glass.

‘It was a fruit wine.’

As soon as I took a sip, the aroma of alcohol and fruit scent burst through my nostrils.

I couldn’t tell what kind of fruit it was, but at least I was certain that this liquid was a fruit wine.

“Ta-da, newbie! We’re here!”

When I had almost finished the glass, the door to the banquet hall swung open and Lizé entered.

She was still in the eye-catching attire that stole gazes with its captivating charm focused on her breasts.

The other knight commanders followed behind her.

First were Erica and Iris, then Claudia, and Aurora was last.

“What were you doing?”

“What do you think we were doing?”

“How am I supposed to know that?”

I looked at Lizé with a dumbfounded expression after being answered with a question to my question.

Lizé casually accepted my gaze and approached the table, grabbing and eating a cookie.

Her tongue, which was seductively sticking out between her lips, licked the cookie crumbs off her fingers.

“You’ll find out later.”

“That makes me even more anxious. In what way will I find out?”

“Now, now! There’s no need to think too hard after coming this far, right? Let’s just let go of everything and enjoy ourselves!”

Claudia, who had appeared at some point, slung her arm over my shoulder.

The smell of wine emanating from her was strong.

“Then you can explain what you were doing outside without making me think too hard, right?”

“Oh my, newbie. There are things in this world that lose their fun if you know them in advance.”

“No, seriously, what did you do that even the Knight Commander is saying thatㅡ”

“First, drink! You can think after drinking!”

Claudia grabbed a wine bottle from the table and popped off the cork with just her thumb.

The distinctive lively sound of the cork being removed was heard.

‘She’s uncorking it with her hand.’

I slipped away from Claudia, who had started chugging from the bottle she held in one hand.

Right next to me, Erica and Iris were looking this way with peculiar eyes.

“You won’t tell me either, right?”

“Unfortunately, newbie.”

“As Lizé and Claudia said, you’ll find out later, so don’t worry. You just need to know that there’s no need to rush.”

‘What kind of scheme did they come up with?’

At this point, I was starting to get competitive and wanted to find out what conversation they had.

But Erica and Iris walked away to the other two, emphasizing their hips with their gait, and only Aurora was standing there with a triumphant smile, as if telling me to ask if I wanted to.

The determination not to tell me was clearly evident in her expression.

“You’re not going to ask me?”

After who knows how long we had been staring at each other, Aurora grumbled softly.

“You won’t tell me anyway. There’s no need to waste effort.”

“But there’s something called courtesy. You asked all the knight commanders but didn’t ask me, the lord of this place. Don’t you know that’s also discourteous?”

“As if you’d do that.”

Aurora covered her mouth with the fan in her hand and laughed, “Pfft.” Then she approached me with a modest gait.

Her black high heels clicked on the red carpet-decorated floor.

“Well, putting that aside. So, what’s your impression?”

“Huh?”

“About this dress. I put quite a bit of thought into choosing it. There’s a female body here that countless men wanted to have a taste of, using all sorts of tricks. I packaged it nicely and shoved it right in front of your eyes, so of course you should at least give your impression, shouldn’t you?”

“Please, for real, choose your words a bit more modestly. Would it hurt you to do that?”

Aurora approached right in front of my nose and tapped my mouth with her fan.

There was a faint lipstick mark on the spot where it touched my lips, as if it had just been imprinted.

It was the same color as Aurora’s lips.

“I’m far from being a modest person. Why don’t you quickly tell me your impression?”

“Yes, yes. You look pretty. It suits you very well. Is that enough?”

“You lack sincerity. Fail.”

Tok, this time the fan tapped my head.

“What happens if I fail?”

“You get punished.”

The eyelids that covered her golden eyes up and down curved slightly.

A smile rose on her face, drawing an elegant curve.

“Enjoy yourself to the fullest here before leaving. That’s your punishment. If you can’t enjoy it properly, I really won’t let it slide then.”

After finishing her words, Aurora smiled brightly and walked away like the other knight commanders, emphasizing her hips.

As the main characters of the banquet all gathered, the band’s music became even more lively.

A maid in an outfit that was very rare by the standards here, fully covering her entire body with no exposure at all, approached with a silver tray holding glasses.

A purplish liquid was popping small bubbles inside them.

It looked like some kind of alcohol, but I couldn’t tell what it was.

Aurora picked up a glass and stepped onto a slightly elevated platform.

Iris, Lizé, and Erica also grabbed one each.

Claudia was already enthusiastically chugging from the bottle, so it didn’t apply to her.

Empty glass bottles rolled around on the floor around her.

The maid approached me as well and held out the silver tray.

I grabbed the last remaining one.

Aurora, who had been glancing at me, raised her arm after confirming my participation.

“Well, I won’t say much since you’ll be too busy enjoying yourselves. You’ve worked hard being under that fucking bastard, you’ve worked hard listening to that fucking bastard, and you’ve all worked hard protecting your chastity under that fucking bastard.”

I choked and coughed alone at the abrupt words Aurora blurted out.

What the hell was this crazy person saying?

Judging by her grinning expression directed at me, it was definitely intentional.

She deliberately said those things to see how I would react.

The other knight commanders had similar gazes, so there was no mistake.

“We’ve gathered today to celebrate that. Enjoy as much as you’ve struggled until now, no, even more than that. So—”

Aurora emptied her glass in one gulp.

She tossed the empty glass aside carelessly and smiled at us one by one, making eye contact.

“—Have fun. It’s an order from the lord.”

The banquet continued for quite a long time. At some point, the sound of the band’s music was no longer heard.

Looking around with hazy eyes, the surroundings were already empty.

In the meantime, we had consumed a truly staggering amount of alcohol.

Aurora was unexpectedly extremely good at drinking, and the knight commanders were the same.

Especially Claudia, who was on a level of not being human.

Later on, she even grabbed an oak barrel filled with wine and drank directly from it.

It was an object that weighed nearly 300kg when filled with alcohol, with its own weight alone being 50kg.

‘…Wow. I’m going to die, seriously.’

I was the same.

Not only the knight commanders but even Aurora were laughing and chatting, so I couldn’t just sip moderately, trying to control my alcohol intake, or refuse the drinks they gave me to drink.

Even if I had refused, Claudia and Lizé would have grabbed me and made me drink anyway.

There was no way those two would have just watched me take a step back alone.

Due to these circumstances, I drank so much that I couldn’t even remember how many glasses I had, and—

‘At least I don’t feel like throwing up.’

I was sitting in a chair on one side of the banquet hall, almost completely drunk, with my head bowed deeply.

The world was spinning.

Even while sitting still, the unique aroma of fruit wine kept flowing back into my nostrils and mouth, and it was difficult to properly control my arms and legs.

All I could do was not fall off the chair.

My mind kept getting carried away, making it hard to restrain my actions.

Even the slightest physical contact that I would have easily brushed off normally kept triggering reactions from my body.

That was the reason why I was sitting tucked away in the corner.

It was the bare minimum of sanity I possessed.

If Lizé tried to seduce me right now, I felt like I would pounce on her.

“Newbie, what are you doing?”

‘Is this happening?’

I heard a familiar voice. It was Lizé.

Why was she appearing right after I thought I wouldn’t be able to resist if she tried to seduce me?

“…Just resting a bit. I drank too much.”

“Hmm, is that so?”

Lizé brought a chair from nearby and plopped down right next to me.

The sweet smell of fruit wine alcohol wafted, mixed with Lizé’s scent.

Maybe it was because of the alcohol, but every single sensation in my body was sensitive.

“How drunk are you?”

“…A little, a lot?”

“Hmmmm, I see…”

Lizé’s words trailed off.

I had a bad feeling.

“Newbie.”

“…Hmm?”

“You said you were curious about why we came in late from outside, right?”

“…I did. So?”

“I told you back then that you would find out later. Do you remember that too?”

I nodded.

As soon as I did, a shadow fell over my head. Wondering what it was, I raised my head.

The knight commanders and Aurora were standing around me.

They didn’t look drunk at all.

Despite clearly reeking of alcohol, unlike me, they looked no different from when the banquet started.

Lizé grinned.

“Now is that later.”
