PMBPHP Chapter 62

On the day of the National Foundation Festival.
From around 3 p.m., Mai and Mei polished my whole body, and then I was carefully massaged and wore the prepared dress.

The design of the dress was wide open shoulders, and the waist was thin and spread softly toward the hem.
With pink hair and eyes, and a pink rose pattern that was inspired by me towards the hem, the skirt is really cute.
I got my makeup done, my hair was tied loosely, and I was ready to go.

“Oh, Your Highness, it’s too cute. You’re usually cute, but with this, you can captivate not only Prince Gresis but also all the beast people.”

“Thank you, Mai. But you’re saying too much. Captivating all beast people is unique to beast women. . . Yes, like Sherry-neesama, she is tall and has a waist, but she has a big chest and buttocks. ”

Poor, I remembered what Prince Harence told me.

“Certainly, Your Highness doesn’t have the sex appeal of a beast woman. However, the princess is by far the most adorable. You won’t lose to anyone. A well-groomed face that makes you mistake it for a doll and beautiful, white skin. The purity that overflows from the kindness of the heart is something that can only be understood by beastmen who are sensitive to emotions.”

“Mai is right. If you see the Princess, you will have a bad impression. There is no doubt that this image of the Princess, which they imagined, will collapse. It’s so adorable.”

Mai and Mei desperately encouraged me.
“Thank you. Thanks to the two of you, I think I can be confident.”
“Then, in order to have confidence, let’s drop Prince Gresis first.”

Mei immediately called Gresis-sama, and stopped as she tried to go to the door.
Gresis-sama was already standing in front of the door with his arms crossed.

“Gresis-sama, when did you?”
I mean, the knight’s formal dress is also nice, but the royal family’s formal dress is too nice.

The white top and bottom are embroidered with gold thread on the sleeves and collar to create a gorgeous look.
Not only Grace’s neat face, but also glossy black hair and animal ears, elegantly moving tail, and even the sudden gestures were beautiful, and I couldn’t help admiring it.

“I heard words that I can’t ignore, to captivate all the beast people. I knocked just in case.”
You’ve been here for a long time.

“Mei, you said you’d drop me first.”
As Gresis-sama was walking towards me, he turned his gaze to Mei, and Mei’s animal ears and tail moved.

“Yes, yes. I am proud that I was able to bring out the loveliness of the Princess by putting out all the power of the handmaids.”
While Mei is nervous, she is firmly facing Gresis-sama, and for some reason, she is posing with her fist on her left chest and dedicating her heart.

Was my preparation so desperate?
I looked up at Gresis-sama who came in front of me and tilted my head.

“It’s a complete defeat. I fell in seconds. We’re not supposed to eat dinner because of the evening party today, so ask Bane to make whatever you like for dinner for the two of you. At least as a thank you.”
“”Thank you very much!””

Mai and Mei look very happy and are discussing what to request.

“I’m happy to be able to escort such an adorable wife, but I’m also worried. This is the final touch.”
Gresis-sama stood in front of me and took out the necklace.

A large yellow diamond with a brilliant cut is firmly supported by platinum claws.
The yellow diamond was shining like Gresis-sama’s eyes.

Standing in front of me, Gresis-sama put his hand around the back of my neck and put on the necklace.

“I prepared it in return for receiving the embroidered handkerchief. It’s not suitable for everyday use, so I thought it was for special occasions.”

I realized that he had already prepared this necklace for the future of participating in the evening party with me when he gave me the hair clip.

“You’ve been preparing it for a long time. Thank you very much. I’m very happy.”
“I’m glad you were pleased.”

Gresis-sama smiled and put out his arm to escort me.

“Well, the actual performance is just beginning. You’re going to dance as my partner, aren’t you?”
“Yes.”

I also smiled, grabbed Gresis-sama’s arm, left my private room as if snuggle up to him, and headed to the hall of the evening party venue.

The royal family enters from a different place from the entrance of the hall used by the invited guests.
From the general entrance of the hall, there are several stairs in the back of the front, and on top of it is a large landing, and chairs for the royal family are installed.

There is a door on the landing, and the royal family entered and exited from the door directly connected to the landing, and by sitting on a chair installed near the door, it was designed to be able to see the whole hall from a slightly higher place.

After marrying into the Kingdom of Tenar, this was the first time that I participated in an official event as the wife of Gresis-sama and appeared in front of a large crowd.

The order of entry was decided to be Gresis-sama and I, Mr. and Mrs. Frair, Mr. and Mrs. Timir, and Mr. and Mrs. King, so we will enter first.

“His Highness Gresis, I will take care of your sword.”
“Oh, please.”

Gresis-sama entrusted his waist belt and sword to the prime minister, Ethan.

“I can’t calm down if I don’t wear a sword. When I participate in the evening party as a prince, I can’t hold a sword, so I always bring it until just before and keep it at the entrance.”

Originally, the prince is on the side of being guarded, but i wonder if standing at the front line of the most severe monster subjugation, Gresis-sama, who is stronger and kinder than anyone else, can’t forgive himself if someone, even the escort knight, protects him and gets hurt.

So if he doesn’t have a sword, he may not be able to calm down.
“Somehow, I feel the same as Gresis-sama.”
“Is that so?”

When I stood in front of the door with my hand on Gresis-sama’s arm, the door was opened.
When I enter the venue illuminated by the light of the dazzling chandelier with Gresis-sama, the eyes of the invited guests who were already in the hall gathered all at once.

I feel the gaze that judges me, a woman who admires Gresis-sama, and a person who has been given a medal by His Majesty the King.

In order not to show weakness, you must not stop smiling at any time.
I’ve been educated like that, so I was going to make a smile with a relaxed feeling like a lady.

However, when I saw the beast ears and tail of the invited guests, they all seemed cute without omission, and I couldn’t help but smile naturally.
For a moment, everyone’s eyes widened and they seemed speechless.

I wonder if my smile was so uncomfortable.
When I sat down with regret, Gresis-sama, who was sitting next to me, whispered in my ear.

“Did you see it? Everyone was confused by the loveliness of Lilith.”
“No way. You’re joking.”
I thought it was a misunderstanding.

At the ball, the king and his wife dance on the first song first, and the princes and their wives join and dance on the second song.
After that, when it comes to the third song, invited guests join and everyone dances.

When it comes to the fourth song, the king and his wife return to their seats to respond to the greetings of the invited guests, but it seems that the princes and their wives enjoy the ball of the National Foundation Festival freely by dancing and socializing.
Everyone completed the entrance, and His Majesty King Leroy greeted first and finished the first dance with Queen Denise.

“Lilith, it’s our turn next.”
“Yes. It’s finally time.”
To dance with a man I like other than my brother. That dream will come true.

Following Mr. and Mrs. Timir and Mr. and Mrs. Frair, I was escorted by Gresis-sama and walked to the center of the hall.

Facing each other, the right hand was placed on Gresis-sama’s hand, and the left hand was placed around Gresis-sama’s upper arm, and Gresis-sama’s right hand was placed on my shoulder blade.

I wonder if it was so close when I danced with my brother?
I was so close that I could hear the breath.

I share a bed with Gresis-sama every day, and I even hug him.
Sometimes I’m more closely attached than I am now, but for some reason I’m embarrassed.

The song begins, and I dance with Gresis-sama’s powerful and reassuring lead.
“Lilith, you’re beautiful.”

The sparkling Gresis-sama in a princely appearance that is different from usual narrows his eyes.
I feel like I’ve been grabbed by the heart at once, and my body temperature starts to rise.

“Gresis-sama is also wonderful.”
It can’t be helped that I blush and fall in love.
Because it looks good.

The dance, in which we stare at each other so much that we don’t care about the many eyes that are directed at us, is completely different from when I danced with my brother.
My heart was pounding, I was happy, and I felt like dancing any number of songs.

“Do you want to dance another song?”
Did you read my mind, as soon as the song was over, Gresis-sama invited me to dance again.

“Yes. I want to dance.”
“Understood.”
It seems that it was funny that I replied quickly, and I was laughed at.

In the Kingdom of Seiran, it was generally decided that you should not dance with the same partner more than once.
However, in the case of the Tenar Kingdom, there is no limit on the number of times, and only if you are single, you should not continue to dance with the same partner in succession.

“That’s why I have no intention of dancing with anyone other than Lilith.”
“Me too. Only Gresis-sama is good.”
We looked into each other’s eyes and smiled.

When the song starts again, a lot of invited guests join and dance in the crowd.

After dancing with my brother at the night party of the Kingdom of Seiran, I was only allowed to watch the participants dance happily with their partners from above.

This is not my homeland, but in the scenery that I could only see, I’m dressing up and dancing with my beloved Gresis-sama.

“I’m happy to have my dream come true in such a wonderful way. Thank you very much.”
“There is still a long way to go. Let’s make all of Lilith’s dreams come true from now on.”

I wonder how far Gresis-sama intends to please me.
I also want to please Gresis-sama even more.

It was the first time I was so happy that I almost cried.

 

---

I hope Lilith can overcome her insecurity soon and stop looking down on herself. I wonder how she became so insecure? I understand that she spent most of her life trapped in the palace but from everything she has said so far, her family and the people of the palace were all loving towards her. Did I miss something somewhere?

I hope you enjoyed this chapter and thank you for reading!
