Kassica seemed to have changed. His face was extremely pale now, his eyes lifeless and dull. He looked like a dead body, tormented by the pain inside him to the point of wanting death rather than life.

He had exhausted all methods in the past few days, but couldn't get rid of the power within his body. Gradually, Kaxi started to feel defeated, but every time he thought of surrendering, the presence within him would ignite hope.

After struggling in this state of torment for a few days, Kaxi finally came up with a plan, and this plan seemed feasible...

On the other hand, Green tried various methods to study the broken sword. It was certain that there was a powerful force inside it, but this force seemed to be sealed and unable to be unleashed.

After consulting with Valibeir's Sword Spirit, Green became even more cautious. According to the Sword Spirit, there was likely another Sword Spirit contained in the broken sword. From a biological perspective, a Sword Spirit was also a form of life, so Green didn't dare to forcefully explore the internal situation with Qi.

So the matter of the sword was temporarily put aside by Green, and Kaxi was ignored because he knew that guy would come knocking on the door sooner or later.

At the same time, Green learned why there were unfamiliar faces coming to visit the castle recently. It was all because of him.

After successfully establishing his own country, the news spread quickly to surrounding countries. In addition, Fred had the intention of hosting a formal welcoming banquet for Green, so he invited upper-class figures from all the surrounding countries to attend.

One had to admit that this was quite a grand gesture. However, Falsist was indeed the strongest country in this area, and with Green as his son-in-law, Fred became more confident. He was even teased by his own wife because of it.

Aloof was pleased with this and it proved that his father had fully accepted their relationship. He boasted in front of Lilies for a long time, which made Lilies a little anxious.

So, she started to crazily make dishes every day for Green to try.

At first, when Green saw the dishes Lilies made, which were similar to Aloof's, he didn't think much of it because he was used to Aloof's cooking. But when he tasted it, he realized that the dark and gloomy appearance of the dishes was not the only thing that differed. The taste was...indescribable.

But in order not to let Lilies lose confidence, Green pretended to enjoy it on the surface. However, what he didn't know was that his efforts to act as if it was delicious were full of flaws and quite amusing.

Although his confidence was shaken, seeing Green's cute expressions made up for it.

Time flew by quickly.

Tonight was the time for the banquet.

Green and the others made some preparations backstage before appearing at the venue.

Fred cleared his throat, and the banquet instantly quieted down. Everyone's gaze immediately shifted to Fred, but soon their attention turned to the several young girls next to him.

Aloof didn't wear the royal uniform today, but rather a princess dress with a white base and blue accents. She exuded an elegant and peaceful temperament, as if she had transformed into a different person.

Lilies, on the other hand, wore a red and black outfit, and the black lace-trimmed hem matched her very well.

But compared to Aloof's calmness, Lilies was a bit nervous. First of all, in terms of identity, she couldn't compare to everyone present, let alone the fact that there were more than one king among them.

In contrast, Yuzuriha seemed much calmer than Lilies. She didn't even shift her gaze away from the book in her hands, not to mention what was written inside.

However, the most dazzling one among the four was Mio.

At this moment, Mio wasn't wearing a hood, but rather a luxurious white dress. Her beautiful pink pupils and waterfall-like silver hair captivated everyone's attention, making it hard to look away.

It should be noted that silver hair was even rarer than black hair, so Green even heard someone exclaim in surprise, "Silver hair, so beautiful! I never thought there would really be silver hair in the world, especially on such a cute girl!"

The sound of astonishment gradually drew the attention of the crowd, and their eyes soon fell on Mio.Under the gaze of so many people, Mio felt at a loss and instinctively leaned towards Green, grabbing his arm. Everyone only then noticed Green.

The young men in the room immediately had a lower opinion of Green.

Aloof, on the other hand, had no animosity towards Mio, but rather a sense of envy, or even jealousy.

Fred, who had been ignored for a while, cleared his throat again to draw everyone's attention back to him, regaining his presence.

"Welcome, everyone, to this banquet. The purpose of hosting this event is simple – to officially introduce my son-in-law, Green."

"Um... hello, everyone!"

Fred raised his hands, and everyone's gaze once again fell on Green. Green, being stared at by so many people, didn't feel much, but Lilies and Mio were somewhat nervous, especially Mio.

Most of the attention in the room seemed to be on Green, but in reality, they were secretly watching Mio.

This made Mio feel a bit flustered. The only way to calm herself down was to get closer to Green. The atmosphere in the room became a bit strange as a result.

When Fred just said that this was his son-in-law, only for his son-in-law to then get so close to a girl that no one knew – although that girl was indeed charming enough to be irresistible.

Aloof, who was next to Mio, couldn't stand it any longer. She felt a strong sense of jealousy and felt it necessary to defend her position as the main wife.

"Our wedding is coming soon, everyone remember to come and join us!"

As she spoke, Aloof discreetly approached Green. Lilies wanted to get close to Green as well, but there was no space left. Even if Lilies didn't try to intervene, the situation wouldn't have improved.

Playboy, embraced on both sides – these two phrases could describe the impression everyone had of Green at the moment.

However, Fred, who saw this situation, didn't say anything. How could they dare to make random guesses when there were people who knew Green among them? Naturally, there was no surprise over this phenomenon.

The banquet continued as usual.

However, there seemed to be something strange about this banquet...

"After being modified by our professional staff, we believe that boys can definitely transform into goddesses, and it's not even impossible to surpass real goddesses! Let's have a cross-dressing competition to find the greatest cross-dressing master!"

"..."

Green didn't know who came up with this idea, but what made Green speechless was that the others around actually agreed. Obviously, this was different from the upper-class people that Green had in mind.

But soon, Green understood the reason. He witnessed a boy with a bearded face and the appearance of an uncle transform completely backstage with some kind of magic. At first glance, Green couldn't even tell he was a man.

This was too terrifying...

"Where is this team from?"

"They are from the neighboring kingdom."

"..."

Green said nothing. He felt that if he stayed any longer, something awkward might happen. However, just as he was about to leave, he was caught by Aloof, whose eyes were sparkling with excitement.

"Darling~ Don't you want to give it a try? I heard they have specialized makeup magic, which can be really good for your skin~"

"Then you go... Why do I have to go? Aloof, your sexual orientation is perfectly normal..."

"Hmph, Lily told me that you... Uh!"

Before she could finish her sentence, Green covered Aloof's mouth. He knew what she wanted to say, and he would never forget that empty feeling.

At that moment, Green became unwilling.

"Shut up! I don't want to hear you say it – Ah! You bit me!"

"Mmm... Who asked you to get rough with me all of a sudden, hmph!"

Seeing Aloof turning her head looking angry, Green immediately forced a silly smile, trying to pass it off. Fortunately, Aloof wasn't really angry. She quickly turned back, her eyes still sparkling with excitement.

"Anyway, you can't escape from here. Let's forget about it for today."

What Green didn't know was that he had already been subjected to various shameful acts by Aloof in his mind, and the object of his fantasies was none other than the post-trick Green.

The cross-dressing competition continued as usual, and even went smoothly. After breaking free from that constraint, those cross-dressers seemed to have found a gateway to a new world.

The whole banquet was quite joyful. It's not like the kings of various countries didn't have anything to do. These small countries were mostly quite developed economically, and there was not much war in this area. Compared to the region of the Caesar Empire, it was indeed much more amiable. In such a situation, it was fine to relax a little.

Green didn't know if it was just an illusion or something, but he always felt that there was something off in the way Aloof looked at him, as if he wanted to "devour" him.

Feeling anxious, Green walked outside with Mio to take a breath and look at the starry sky.

"It's beautiful, isn't it?"

Suddenly, a voice came from behind. Green turned around and saw a blond and handsome young man, instantly feeling confused: why were there so many attractive blond guys in this world?

But Green suddenly felt that something was off. He carefully observed the blond young man in front of him and soon showed a look of realization, unable to help but smile with a bit of amusement, while also protecting Mio behind him.

"What do you think of the gift I gave you, Kakika?"

"......!?"

Caught off guard by being seen through, Kakika was taken aback, but quickly laughed at himself. It was not surprising that someone who even Saw could not see through his identity knew, but he didn't know to what extent he could see through.

"I came here hoping to find a way to lift the curse on me. I hope you can consider it, after all, we have no grudges against each other, and there's no need for a fight to the death, right?"

"......"

Green looked at Kassica disguised as the blond young man and suddenly felt like laughing, even suspecting that Kassica had shit in his brains.

"If that's all the sincerity you have, you can keep that gift."

With that, Green did not give Kassica any more chance and slapped him, sending him flying into the sky.
