"Princess Elina, I hope you can win the battle for the throne."
"Yes, I hope so too. Just a reminder, several Marquis families in the northern region have begun to show their support for Prince Cedric."
"Oh, I've heard that as well."
Surrounded by the heads of noble families, Elina listened calmly to everything they said.
This kind of party was actually an opportunity to gain support and gather important information from her allies.
That way, she could learn things she didn't know before.
Rafine stood quietly beside her.
She served as Nolan's maid, but since that smelly man wasn't here, she had to accompany Elina wherever she went.
"Sorry to interrupt. May I speak with the princess for a moment?"
Upon hearing this, the nobles around Elina were startled.
They turned their heads and realized the speaker was the prime minister of the Eastern Empire of Izanagi—Mikazura.
"P-Prime Minister Mikazura?" one of them exclaimed.
