Chapter 496

At Steiber's words, the eyes of his friends and the members who were close to him all turned meaningful and joyous, like those of delighted children.

"Wow, finally? I'm really looking forward to seeing you unveil it in front of everyone."

"You won't believe how well it's preserved; it hasn't rotted at all. I wouldnt be surprised if you all fall over backward in awe. Hehehe."

"Hehehehe."

"It may not be our catch, but since were part of the same Cavalry, its almost like we caught it. So, why shouldnt we be happy?"

"Exactly. The one who caught it doesn't know how to smile, so its only fair that we enjoy it on their behalf."

While they all wore sly smiles, the other members were busy praising each other's outfits and happily chatting about their high expectations as they finalized their preparations to depart for the palace.

As departure time neared, carriages far more luxurious than those used during the harvest festival lined up in front of the Cavalry headquarterss main gate. They were sent by Emperor Keilusa for today's stars, the members of the Cavalry. Among those who were delighted by the grandiose scenery was Lusan, who had boldly joined in as a medical officer. Standing next to him with a skewed posture was Enon, who didnt seem to care for the whole affair. However, his attire was so attractive that he couldn't help but draw the attention of those around him.

Soon after, Ever, adorned in formal wear, descended the stairs that led to the dressing room with brisk steps.

Upon seeing the smiling Steiber and the members, she paused for a moment, then approached and spoke.

"Steiber, is something special happening? You all look so happy."

"Oh, Ever. You look marvelous with your hair down like that. Nothing much, really. Were just excited about moving the 'Golden Carriage' soon. Hehehe."

Only then did Ever seem to understand the reason behind their smiles. A smile similar to Steibers appeared on her face.

"I see. Thank you for the compliment. Your hair looks great up as well. Have you considered doing it like that more often?"

"Hmm... applying oil and styling it every day might be a bit too much. But thanks for the compliment."

Steiber closed his eyes briefly and then reopened them, smiling.

"By the way, where is your expected partner?" Diiscover new stories at nove/lbin(.)c/om

"Ah, Gakane went to help Kanna with Jimmy. Its about the clothes."

"Ah, yes. I heard Jimmy has grown a lot lately, so he needed some major clothing adjustments?"

Steiber warmly smiled, thinking of the young boy growing up so quickly even though he should still miss his parents. Then, he subtly shifted his tone.

"Come to think of it, you agreed to dance the first dance with Gakane to help Yuder, didnt you?"

"Huh? Oh, right. Yes, that's true."

Currently, in the Cavalry, there were fewer Omega Awakeners than Alpha Awakeners. Even if everyone paired up, there would still be leftover Alpha Awakeners. Though these remaining Alpha Awakeners could choose a partner without considering their secondary gender, after much thought, Ever had chosen Gakane, another Alpha Awakener. Even though there seemed to be no visible difference to others due to their differing primary genders, her decision was made out of a desire to help Yuder in any small way she could.

"So, has anyone pestered you for the second dance?"

"The second dance?"

"Yes, someone like Lord Elle, for instance..."

"Why would Elle's name suddenly come up in this context?"

Ever tilted her head, seemingly puzzled as to why the name of Pruelle Van Tain, who had recently become a temporary member of the Cavalry, would suddenly be mentioned.

"I decided to dance the second dance with Liv."

"Liv? Liv Dwayne of Jung?"

"Yes. She's an Omega Awakener and we share the same primary gender. She's not my first dance partner, but I thought it would be fine for the second, so we agreed."

"I see... And for the third?"

It was just an outer piece of fabric and a mere sash, after all.

Yet even without coordinating their formal attire, the two drew more attention than if they had matched perfectly.

Yuder maintained his usual composure as he observed the expressions of those who were astonished first by Kishiar's formal outfit, and then doubly astonished by his own waistband. As he walked confidently toward the hall where the ceremony would be held, he never once lowered his tense jaw or relaxed his straight back.

"Please wait here for a moment before entering."

A servant led them to a spacious waiting room and then disappeared. It was only then that the other participants, who had been tense, began to relax and chat, examining the surrounding sculptures and decorations.

Yuder did not touch any of the snacks or drinks prepared for light refreshment. Instead, he gazed at the closed door, slowly reviewing the sequence of events he was to follow during the ceremony.

'After entering, receive the award in the pre-notified order, greet everyone, and return to my seat. Then the dance music will start,' he thought.

"Yuder."

As he was reciting the sequence of events for the umpteenth time and considering any variables or other noble participants that might be present, he heard a voice beside him. Turning his head, he saw Kishiar smiling, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.

"If you stand like that, people will mistake you for a sculpture. Whoever brought such a fine piece of art has excellent taste."

"You're particularly jocular today."

"I'm always serious, you know."

""

This was a ridiculous statement, and it had nothing to do with how tenderly Yuder was feeling toward Kishiar. Before he could maintain his silence for too long, Kishiar stepped closer and brushed back the strands of hair that had fallen onto his forehead.

"If you stand like this without realizing that your hair is disheveled, others might approach you and ask if they can do the same. So, be careful," Kishiar cautioned.
