62.

 

Lillian somehow felt she understood why they were looking at her so fervently.

 

‘Ah, they still find him scary, so they see me as a spokesperson…?’

 

The look in their eyes, as if watching a dog trainer, was somewhat bewildering, but what could she do.

 

Lillian glanced toward where her family was.

 

Kuern was looking at her resentfully, and Iris was trembling.

 

Grandfather was holding back.

 

It was good that she had exploded in this place.

 

‘Otherwise, I would have been dragged away somewhere and then some.’

 

How helpful it was to have foreign dignitaries present.

 

But.

 

Then the original male lead approached.

 

“Ha. A woman who sprays such nauseating perfume.”

 

What?

 

Your brother is the one who sprays perfume, when did I ever spray any.

 

The original male lead acted as if he had seen something he couldn’t bear to look at regarding Lillian.

 

But Lillian had no time to care about the insult.

 

“Little brother. How do you think it would feel to lose a chess piece while standing?”

 

Because one mad dog required all of a person’s attention.

 

Lillian smiled brightly while gripping the Villain’s hand tightly.

 

“Your Highness, I’m fine…”

 

But since he had spoken to me, it was right to strike back.

 

Lillian looked at the original male lead and smiled faintly.

 

“I’m embarrassed that the Second Prince recognized my perfume. Among the five senses, only your sense of smell… no, your sense of smell is particularly excellent, so you would notice.”

 

Lillian pretended to be shy and placed her hand on one cheek.

 

“Crown Prince is excellent in all areas, so I must have been too complacent!”

 

The original male lead’s jaw twitched finely.

 

‘In the original, it was the Villain who overthrew the Imperial Palace.’

 

But the male lead also went on a rampage in the process, making him the culprit who worsened the situation.

 

It meant his abilities were inferior to the Villain’s.

 

“You-!”

 

It also meant that he was still less skilled at managing his expressions than his mother.

 

Before his voice could rise.

 

“Seeing you like this makes me both delighted and regretful, Lillian. Let’s meet at the Imperial Palace next time.”

 

“Yes, Your Majesty the Empress.”

 

I will avoid it as much as possible and not go if I can help it.

Evren had brought a Controller.

 

Kail glared persistently at Lillian from one corner of the Hall.

 

‘I never felt anything like that before.’

 

Her control was impressive, but above all, he felt like he would suffocate from that scent.

 

It was a clear and pure lily fragrance.

 

It was terrible.

 

Kail turned his head.

 

Beside him, S-class Controller Iris was blinking her eyes.

 

“Iris.”

 

“Yes, Your Highness.”

 

“You will become my future partner.”

 

“…! Yes, yes.”

 

“So you cannot lose to those two here.”

 

“Yes, of course…!”

 

It was the right thing to say.

 

‘I can’t let this place become sister’s circus any longer.’

 

Today’s protagonist was Princess Melliora, at least.

 

It would be enough to leave the strongest impression on that princess at the end.

 

“I’ll present our new work ‘Fairy’s Bracelet’ to the Princess!”

 

* * *

 

When Iris came out again.

 

A servant crossed the Hall carrying jewelry in a glass case.

 

“Oh my, that’s-.”

 

“I’ve seen it in the catalog!”

 

Wasn’t that the new item coming out from Iris Floren this time!

 

The Fairy’s Bracelet.

 

An iridescent light emanated from the blue gemstone set in the silver bracelet that curved gracefully.

 

Iris smiled as she introduced it.

 

“This bracelet delays mental contamination while helping to channel abilities.”

 

Excited admiration arose among the ability users who were essentially knights.

 

“Ooh…!”

 

It would be of great help in the worst case scenario when there was no Controller or control stone.

 

Iris approached the Princess.

 

“This is Iris’s latest work, Your Highness.”

 

“Hmm…”

 

“I will present it to Your Highness. Naturally, no one else will have it after the presentation.”

 

It was a so-called limited edition.

 

Even Princess Melliora, whose attitude had changed, would surely pay attention to this!

 

However, the Princess picked it up and began saying something else.

 

“The craftsmanship looks like something I’ve seen somewhere before.”

 

“Th-that can’t be! What do you mean.”

 

“Hmm.”

 

Melliora raised her head.

 

Her gaze met Lillian’s.

 

‘She spoke nothing but the truth indeed.’

 

The sketch shown at the Temple of Aetherna came to mind.

 

‘All the new works that Iris will release were created by me.’

 

“…Thank you for the gift, Iris.”

 

“I am honored, Your Highness.”

 

“But before I wear it first, it would be enjoyable if someone else could demonstrate how to use it.”

 

“Yes, of course.”

 

Iris smiled brightly.

 

She should have one of the family knights do it.

 

But then.

 

“I’ll do the demonstration.”

 

“Your… Highness will?”

 

Iris’s smile almost wavered.

 

The person who stepped forward for the demonstration was none other than Kail.

 

Kail’s grade was S. Would this bracelet really be able to handle that level?

 

‘If it were just a B-grade person, it would definitely be safe.’

 

What to do? But when the Second Prince volunteered, she couldn’t stop him here.

 

Especially when his half-brother Evren was watching leisurely with a smile…

 

“…Yes, Your Highness! It’s an honor.”

 

“Should I put on the bracelet and channel my power into it, Iris?”

 

“Yes, that’s right!”

 

It’s fine. If His Highness the Second Prince treats us well, there’s nothing to worry about.

 

‘I’m going to be our family’s savior!’

 

Kail put on the bracelet and channeled his ability into it.

 

But when he slowly raised his hand.

 

Crack.

 

A sound like the thin shell of a cookie crumbling could be heard.

 

The tiny sound gradually grew louder.

 

Crack. Crack…!

 

After a noise that seemed to scratch at eardrums, a chilling rupturing sound was heard.

 

“Ugh…!”

 

“Y-Your Highness!?”

 

Iris let out a sharp scream.

 

The bracelet split in half and Second Prince Kail’s ability burst out.

 

The aura of deadly poison spread in all directions.

 

“Everyone get down!”

 

“Kyaah!”

 

Since it was created by an ability, it wouldn’t naturally disperse either.

 

Glass cases scattered throughout the area were sliced through like lies and shattered.

 

Decorative vases and tables were also damaged, causing chaos.

 

“Aaah!”

 

“Barrier! Is there no barrier ability user!?”

 

“If you breathe-!”

 

But before the toxicity could spread further, white snow that appeared in mid-air was absorbing the poison.

 

“That’s!”

 

“The ability of annihilation…”

 

People froze with fear in that moment. Especially those who knew the current Emperor.

 

No matter how great that power was, they had seen how it devoured and consumed humans…

 

But Prince Evren looked perfectly fine.

 

‘The reason for that…!’

 

It was because there was a powerful Controller with compatible abilities right beside him.

 

Lillian, who was no longer affiliated with the Tillard Family.

 

Then a coldly subdued voice struck Iris’s ears.

 

“You called such a thing a tribute, Iris Tillard?”

 

“Your Highness-!”

 

“If I had worn it without knowing better, it really would have been a disaster.”

 

The Princess turned around with a thoroughly displeased expression on her face.
