I didn’t bother to correct Evelyn’s excited words and looked around while holding the bouquet.

 

Raphael muttered in a low tone.

 

“Something feels fishy about this.”

 

“…For now, shh.”

 

When I raised my index finger and made a shushing sound at Raphael, his brow furrowed deeply.

 

But unlike him, there was someone who was happy.

 

Namely, Evelyn, who had begun receiving admiration from those around her.

 

“Co-could it be! Is this a blessing brought by Lady Evelyn’s divine flower?”

 

At the people’s murmuring, Evelyn blushed and waved her hands gently.

 

“Oh my, please don’t think too highly of Evelyn. It’s just….”

 

It was right when she was about to show modesty.

 

A pure white light like a blessing’s aura gathered entirely around me and Raphael.

 

Everywhere else became dark in an instant.

 

A dazzlingly bright light embraced only the two of us.

 

As if the people who had performed this miracle were me and Raphael.

 

Along with the harmony of a very grand orchestra, the priest in the front row shot up from his seat.

 

“No, from what I can see…. This is a strong divine power incomparable to something like a divine flower.”

 

“Ahh…?”

 

I smiled brightly and looked toward them.

 

“So…. To commemorate the wedding of the Grand Duke and Duchess, the Divines may have returned to bless the two of you!”

 

As tears began to well up in the High Priest’s eyes, the architect next to the priest also spoke quietly.

 

“That’s right. From an architectural engineering perspective, the light is reaching Lady Serenthia precisely.”

 

Jacob was also nodding with a broad smile, as if he had met a ‘magical engineer’ who understood him well.

 

See, you really need to invite professionals for things to work out properly.

 

At that moment, Evelyn’s complexion turned pale.

 

Looking at my younger sister glaring at me, I raised one corner of my mouth crookedly.

 

***

 

Evelyn was shocked by the scene unfolding before her eyes.

 

‘A divine blessing, what is this!’

 

The beautiful ‘divine flower’ she had proudly placed on her lap had become meaningless.

 

That was actually, actually a blessing given directly by the descending Divines.

 

Moreover, since the High Priest had declared ‘this is a divine blessing,’ it became an undeniable situation.

 

‘I should be the protagonist!’

 

Serenthia was gracefully walking out under the pure white wedding arch.

 

With the divine blessing and everyone’s envy!

 

What was most infuriating was….

 

‘That man called the monster Grand Duke is also too handsome.’

 

It was too unfair that Serenthia would claim such a man.

 

Her performance of trying to make the divine flower bloom magnificently had long since disappeared, but still, Evelyn had one thread of hope remaining.

 

To become the most beautiful lady in a place with so many gentlemen and capture everyone’s attention.

 

She had worn the most beautiful dress for that very purpose.

 

So, on the way into the banquet hall. But….

 

“…What is this?”

 

What greeted Evelyn as she entered the banquet hall wasn’t handsome gentlemen or delicious food.

 

The interior of the banquet hall was peculiarly dyed entirely in pitch-black darkness.

 

Numerous guests let out exclamations of admiration.

 

Very fine lights flowed down from the sky.

 

When the surroundings became somewhat visible thanks to dark adaptation, Valen Kairozen appeared.

 

Looking around at the guests who had appeared in the banquet hall, Valen Kairozen, master of the Northern Magic Tower, clapped his hands and said.

 

“Now then! Shall we unify the dress code now?”

 

That was the moment.

 

The moment Valen clapped his hands once more.

 

As if changing a doll’s clothes, everyone’s dresses were unified in black.

 

Valen laughed playfully.

 

“Ah, of course, when you go home, I’ll quietly return you to your original outfits, so don’t worry!”

 

At that moment, Evelyn’s eyes widened.

 

‘Then what’s the point? I need to catch the gentlemen’s attention here…!’

 

Everyone was busy examining their own dresses as if amazed and looking up at the starlight.

 

Only Evelyn was pouting her lips.

 

‘What is this!’

 

But right then.

 

Serenthia and Raphael were walking into the banquet hall.

 

The two people in deep blue tailcoat and pure white dress matched surprisingly well.

 

At that moment, Evelyn realized.

 

Unlike her own dress that had turned drab, Serenthia’s dress was sparkling and shining even in this darkness.

 

So it was exactly the image she had dreamed of.

 

They truly, really looked like protagonists.

 

***

 

No matter how he thought about it, Valen Kairozen was a radical madman.

 

Whether his secretary was restless or not, Valen smiled brightly and blessed the Grand Duke couple’s love.

 

Valen had worn a very interesting expression.

 

“Please change all the guests’ dress codes to be the same in the banquet hall.”

 

“Why? Remove their individuality? What’s the reason?”

 

“Just, because it seems like it would be fun.”

 

Though he only said that, Valen was quick-witted.

 

He looked at the Rosemary mother and daughter who had come to the banquet hall in more glamorous dresses than anyone else and smiled slyly.

 

‘Ruin their desire to stand out, that’s what this is about.’

 

That’s right. For Valen, it really wasn’t difficult at all.

 

But if there was one thing difficult for him right now….

 

The interior of the party venue that had become dark as night.

 

A place where you couldn’t properly distinguish who was who.

 

In this dark party venue where no one could receive proper attention, Valen smiled sardonically.

 

If she had only asked him to change the ‘dress code,’ the story might have been different.

 

But she had utilized the structure of this hall very effectively.

 

“Since it’s night, please create a fake night sky on the ceiling like opening a dome. Then the pleasure of an ‘interesting event’ will be greater than the displeasure of having one’s outfit changed.”

 

“Hmm….”

 

…Honestly speaking, he had been somewhat impressed after hearing those words.

 

Things like ‘dome shape’ and ‘create a night sky’ were words that couldn’t be said without understanding this building and understanding Valen.

 

So even though Valen was contrarian, he did as she said.

 

Then he stood against the wall and looked around at the surrounding atmosphere.

 

First, starting with the architect group, the most heterogeneous group Serenthia had invited.

 

“My goodness, isn’t this building truly mysterious?”

 

“It’s a style I’ve never seen before. I’d like to study it in detail tomorrow.”

 

…The people discussing the architectural style of the sanctuary caught his eye first.

 

‘Certainly that side has been influenced by the Northern atmosphere.’

 

Probably soon rumors would spread through the architects’ mouths that the North had been quite rebuilt.

 

On the opposite side, they had gathered around the High Priest and were talking about the divine blessing.

 

“Perhaps it’s a prophecy that the North will soon prosper.”

 

Seeing the thrill that arose from the seasoned High Priest’s words, Valen chuckled.

 

‘You’re really shaping public opinion properly, our sister-in-law.’

 

And Valen finally turned his gaze toward Evelyn, who seemed to have taken on the role of the villain in this entire charade.
