Chapter 99: Imperial Festival II (1)

Chapter 99: Imperial Festival II (1)

At last, the event to determine the best lovers in the Empire began.

The setting was a slightly elevated area in a wide plaza.

The host, standing there, spoke into an amplifying magic tool.

[An event to determine the best lovers in the empire is about to begin! Those who have made reservations for the event in advance, please come here!]

I moved as the host pointed. Around me and Shael, were several other couples, who wanted to participate in the event.

‘Still, it’s not as many as I thought.’

Well, there wouldn’t be much to gain from winning. Having to display affection in front of so many people was also a problem. That being said, it was by no means a small number, so I felt nervous.

The host seemed to anticipate this, as there was a mechanism in place to eliminate participants from the start.

[You have to pass by the stone statue in front of you and make it light up in order to participate in the event!]

As far as I remembered from the novel, this stone statue played a role in determining whether love was still alive. If your heart was slightly attached to others or if it was cold, the stone statue wouldn’t emit light. Perfect for lovers like Shael and me who had just confirmed our feelings.

“Shall we go?” I asked.

“Yes.” Shael nodded.

Of course, Shael and I passed through. Keeping your love alive was challenging, and quite a few people were eliminated from the start. Indeed, this was quite a difficult test.

‘With this, I can find out who among the people I know made it through.’

I quickly turned my head to look at the participants. I spotted those who won in the original novel and Denes Anyden, who made a bet me. They too easily passed the first test.

“My father is here...” Shael suddenly spoke up.

As she said, Duke Jespen had already passed his first test with Duchess Enella. Although they probably didn’t participate in the original novel, it seemed like they joined after seeing Shael and me.

Duke Jespen, who also noticed us, approached and said, “You participated as expected.”

“I heard that the Azbel family is preparing a magic show. You don’t have to oversee it?”

It was as the host said. Except for Shael and me...the Azbel couple, Denes Anyden and his wife, and the daughter of the Duke of Prell who won the event in the original novel and her fiancé.

Everyone was a formidable opponent.

[The last test is to put your hand on a special pillar! According to legend, this pillar was created by the Goddess of Love herself!]

It didn’t look like an ordinary pillar. It was because the mana it was flowing out was unusually pink.

[I will tell you what role the pillar plays. Now, I want you to focus.]

The host and the woman next to him put their hands on the pole. Then a number appeared on top of the pillar.

It was the number 11.

The host, taking a deep breath and smiling shyly, approached the woman next to him, then he kissed her lips.

“What are you doing all of a sudden?”

“Ha ha ha! Contrary to how serious the host seems, he has quite the passionate side!”

Laughter erupted from the spectators under the stage.

To be honest, I couldn’t understand what the hell was going on either.

After some time, the host, who had been silent, raised his hand to touch the pillar again.
