“Hey Ruby, I was worried about you but your face is glowing! Oh, you look great! How long has it been?!” (Enzo)

As soon as he arrived with the pope’s delegation, he tried to sneak out and roam around on his own, but he was prevented from doing so and dragged out by the city guards. He was a gonfaloniere lacking in humility or shame.

He was smiling brightly as he hugged me and swung me round and round, almost giving me motion sickness.

This guy hasn’t changed at all.

“Welcome·······. Are you cold?” (Ruby)

“What do you mean, am I cold? When I first arrived, I thought I would freeze to death! But wow, It was exciting to see the snow after a long time. Has it snowed a lot here? The place looks a lot more romantic than I initially thought.”

Are you saying that you visited various locations, even though you were freezing to death, because you were intoxicated by the romantic atmosphere?

I had to try and avoid seeing the look on my father-in-law’s face.

As for King Feranol, he simply had a blank expression.

It seemed that he had given up on understanding whatever was happening around him these days.

After exchanging greetings and going through some formal procedures, I had a moment alone with Enzo.

It was a sunny afternoon and the snow had stopped just in time, so we came out to the courtyard of the palace and walked along the promenade. While Enzo admired the lonely appearance of the moon tower, where the restoration work was almost complete, I emptied my head as I observed the half-bloomed camellias.

(T/N: As an English speaker, I still had to look up ‘promenade’ and the Oxford Language Dictionary cites it as ‘a paved public walk, typically one along a waterfront at a resort’.

And as for camellia flowers, I wondered if there was any significance in including its presence, and it apparently symbolizes love, devotion, affection and admiration. The flowers can also symbolize refinement, perfection, and faithfulness, depending on the color and context of the bloom. In Japan, the camellia flower is often used in religious ceremonies, as it symbolizes divinity.)

“However, the citizens of this kingdom seem a bit scary. Is it because of the cold temperature?”

“Was that your first impression because you were dragged off to a weird place right when you had just arrived?”

“Hey, I wasn’t dragged away though? And it wasn’t a weird place, I want to take a tour of the pubs because the butter drinks here are so good·······.”

“Didn’t you say you happened to find yourself locked up in a casino? It’s just like you, brother.”

“Oh, I was just watching, just watching! As the gonfaloniere of Romagna, it is my duty to learn about the traditions and customs of the citizens of each kingdom·······.”

Enzo, who had been coming up with ridiculous excuses, suddenly looked at me with a serious expression on his face.

The hint of mischief that had been present was now nowhere to be seen in his downcast eyes.

“Hey, what the hell happened with you and brother?”

“Well, what have you heard so far?”

“I haven’t heard much in particular, brother isn’t the kind of person to confide in me when it comes to matters related to you. He said that he wanted to see you so he came in person to listen to you talk. And no, father and brother weren’t exactly fighting but it seems that father was about to kill brother? Oh, it’s the first time I’ve ever seen father so angry at brother. It was hilarious, you should’ve seen it······.”

“So, what did father say to you when he sent you here?”

“Huh? To me? ·······I don’t really remember. Maybe it’s because I’m not fully sober at the moment. I only remember the constant, annoying nagging, repeating dozens of times, damn it, and I’m not even a kid anymore.”
