"It's me, Miss." Avery's voice came through the door.

　　"Oh, come in!"

　　Ever since Avery had been bailed out by Freya at the baron's, she had introduced herself as Freya's personal maid, specifically to take care of Freya's daily routine.

　　"Can I help you?" Freya asked.

　　"It's like this miss, Lord Earl Philip is due to pay for you to go to the castle ball tonight, here's the invitation." Avery said handing over a gold painted card she was holding.

　　"A ball?" Freya was surprised as she finished the card.

　　On the front was the time of the ball and the name of the invitee, on the back were two bouquets of crossed up roses, and after placing it on her nose and sniffing the card there was actually a faint smoky scent.

　　I can't believe that the ball is held at this time, not knowing Philip's intention, Freya frowned and put the card away at her waist.

　　"By the way, Miss, when the Earl Lord gave me the invitation he also asked me to bring a message to Miss, saying that he wants to introduce you, Miss, to an acquaintance during the ball." Avery continued.

　　"...... "Freya's face slightly stared, suddenly thought of something, a messy brain instantly opened up.

　　She touched the gold-painted card at her waist, ignoring Avery who stood aside, and walked straight out, in the direction of Baron Zeh's study.

　　At night, the brightly lit Green Castle Hall.

　　Beautiful music sounded, in front of the rows of round tables, a long rectangular table stood in the middle of the entire hall, filled with a variety of sumptuous food and wine.

　　The back of the hall was deliberately circled as a dance floor, and at this time there were a few people who were vaguely dancing in a soothing manner.

　　The maids dressed in black were going around and giving them to the people who needed them.

　　Throughout the hall of Green Castle, most of the people of Green Castle were invited except for the senior officers that Philip had brought with him.

　　A white long dress of Freya quietly stood in the corner, her hair at this time was pulled up high and the general noble girl was no different, the long skirt has been hanging down to the ground, in addition to revealing the two arms, the rest of the place is not out of the ordinary, which for the other invited young girls is overly conservative a little bit.

　　At the moment she was quietly sipping a green drink in her hand, only her eyes glancing around the hall from time to time.

　　It seemed that Philip really intended to use the ball to pay his apologies to the people of Castle Grimm, until the middle of the ball there was nothing special about it.

　　Philip was talking in a low voice with a high-ranking officer near the long table, showing a hint of a smile from time to time, together with his deliberately chosen swordsman's clothes and his heroic face in the dim light imprinted a kind of noble and subdued feeling.

　　The Baron, on the other hand, seemed to have disappeared after receiving the information provided by Freya, and she knew that it was her father making preparations in the shadows.

　　But another thing that puzzled her was the fact that her brother Eric had disappeared before the ball started, and she didn't know where he had gone.

　　Just as Freya finished the drink in her hand, the music that had been lilting suddenly stopped.

　　'Snap.'

　　Loud clapping sounds, Philip stood at the high platform in the hall and watched with satisfaction as the originally chaotic people were attracted to him.

　　"First of all, welcome to the ball that I have prepared for you all, here I would like to say an apology, for everyone questioning why I didn't send my troops to take the initiative to fight Saladin first, I am here to explain."

　　The clear voice effectively let the entire hall hear him, Felea stood in the corner frowning at Phillip's apology, guessing in her mind what he was going to say next, the next thing was nothing more than that there was a reason for doing this, but the reason was an imperial secret and there was no way to tell you guys, so I ask for your forgiveness.

　　"...... This is an important secret of the country, please forgive me for not being able to say more, but I promise here that I will definitely drive out the invaders for the people of my country, and restore everyone's peaceful life!"

　　Philip bowed down heavily, and his Yingwu's expression became solemn, giving people a feeling that they had to be convinced.

　　"Sure enough... "Freya looked at Philip's performance with disdain, if she didn't know the real thing clearly she might also believe under this kind of speech, but once she knew that he had some connection with Beltar's side, this kind of genuine speech turned into a ridiculous performance in Freya's eyes.

　　After that magnificent apologetic speech in the eyes of the crowd, surely this display of sincerity was enough to bring understanding to anyone.

　　Philip straightened up, smiled slightly, and clapped his hands as the beautiful sound resounded once more.

　　The noble music of this world was similar to that of medieval Europe in her previous life, although there were differences in the instruments it was more or less the same, amongst the group of musicians Freya even saw a huge black piano, which emitted a soothing sound under that musician's playing.

　　Once she had practised for a while because of her part-time job, but then gave it up for various reasons.

　　But as to why a different world would have the same thing, Freya was also very puzzled by this, which was of course fruitless.

　　As Philip stepped down from the high stage, the ball gradually entered the ** part, the young girls and noblewomen who drank a little bit of wine all found their partners to walk into the dance floor and danced to the music.

　　And Philip's side was also surrounded by several daughters of the Green family's relatives for a while.

　　In response to this kind of invitation, Philip just smiled and said something while pointing to Freya who was hidden in the corner.

　　Freya is the second person of high status in Green Castle besides the highest baron's status, even if there are boys who are interested in her, they are also forced by the baron's shadow and don't dare to come forward, knowing that the other party wants to look for Freya, the few young girls who surrounded her also left in a while.

　　Freya narrowed her eyes slightly as she watched Philip, who was free from the entanglement, walk towards her, and her heart slightly jolted.

　　"Didn't disturb you, did I, Freya." Philip smiled and took one of her hands and kissed it gently.

　　"No." Freya pretended to be shy as she withdrew her hand and replied with the same smile in return

　　"If you don't mind, let's take a walk outside together?"

　　"Hmm!"

　　The quiet corridor, compared to the bustling hall, was much quieter.

　　Freya quietly walked behind Philip, listening to him tell stories about his previous relationship with the Baron from time to time.
