But when she heard that the hero is talentless, she sighed in relief.

And now she is meeting one of the wives of that talentless hero here, which is a bit interesting, because this brings her the memories of her little step sister, and she muttered in a very low voice.

"Where would she be?"

But the next moment her face became cheerful because down below, there she saw her, and she was clinging to some men who have black hair and blue eyes and are 6 feet tall.

"Is this the hero? Her husband?" 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

She thought while looking toward them, then a thought came into her mind: he is just average, not very handsome or cute.

"We greet your highness!!!"

Everyone immediately placed a hand over their chest and bowed in the noble etiquette of greeting, their voices echoing loudly throughout the hall.

As I watched everyone perform the greeting, I also moved my hand toward my chest to follow, but Aurielle quickly stopped me and spoke.

"You are a hero, so you are not bound to any emperor."

I nodded and lowered my hands, then I noticed, that my wife Naivara and Count family also didn’t greet them.

"Seems like they have done it before."

This thought crossed my mind as I watched the Countess walk toward Nyra and gently take her hand.

Moments later, the Count’s family, along with the Imperial Prince, Princess, and Naivara, moved toward one side of the hall, where an highly decorative chair resembling a small throne had been prepared for them.

Every chair was placed in an equal line, so the moment they sat down, everyone felt that they were being treated as equals.

But still in the center Count himself settled, while his right side contains womens while his left side contains mens.

But still one sit was left toward men side and everyone got confused, but soon all of their gaze turn toward one person.

Oryn saw everyone’s gaze come on him, so he gritted his teeth and moved toward the left side chair without looking toward Naivara, as he was still afraid she would freak out.

Soon, everyone settled down, and the Count’s heavy voice filled with authority and pressure echoed through the hall.

"Begin."

Then side gates opened as many maids with trays containing luxurious food and wines and delicacies came into the hall one by one.

After filling every food and placing the new food, all the maids returned, and the real celebration finally started.

"Congratulations, Lady Nyra Duvall, for your 20th birthday."

A young man who is the son of some count comes toward Nyra’s seat and congratulates her.

"You have become even more beautiful than the last time I saw you."

He kept showering her with praises, causing Nyra to smile in amusement. However, the others could only look toward the men with impatient expressions, waiting for the real purpose of their visit.

"You can continue praising her later. Show your gifts first, and then we will judge whether your sweet words hold any truth."

"Here is a ruby that can only be found in the Beast Empire, and it is highly appreciated by beautiful ladies."

Soon everyone saw that the young man brought out a small wooden box that contained a shiny green ruby.

"Thank you for your gift Sir Crater."

Nyra smiled and gave him a reply before waving her hand.

Soon, a female knight standing below the stairs approached him.

Since all the chairs were placed on a raised platform, Nyra didn’t come down by herself.

The female knight took the gift and carefully placed it on the large table to the left side.

The Count and the others’ expressions did not change at all after seeing the gift the young man presented.

However, the young man still maintained his smile and returned to his group.

Then more and more people come and congratulate Nyra while giving gifts, which are mostly wearable or decoration objects.

But all the people who comed were related to count somehow like, some were their children while some were their brother or sister.

But then Oryn, who was sitting and waiting patiently, stood up after seeing all the count relatives are done.

Everyone gaze turn toward the sea prince and looked at him, with curious eyes that were clearly asking.

"What special gift are you going to give?"

Nyra had been maintaining her smile throughout the greetings of the arriving guests, but she finally got a brief moment to relax.

However, her relief did not last long, as the Sea Prince soon approached her.

Oryan was not married, but he has tasted many women and often doesn’t let any beautiful women of his age go, if his eyes land on them.

But this time, he has to control his desire, as the person in question is the daughter of Magnus Duvall.

A legendary figure, who is an apostle of the Storm Temple and holds a little bit of authority to move the Templar Knights.

And his strength is also formidable; that’s why their father sent them here, as they also have an old relationship.

Because when the demon attacked the island where Naiavara was, at that time this same legendary figure rescued both Naiavara and her mother, which is why the sea king always wants to maintain a peaceful relationship with him.

"Lady Nyra, here is a specialty of our sea empire, which is very hard to find, but I have brought it out for you."

Everyone got more curious when they heard his claim that the things are rare even in the sea empire for a prince.

Nyra also smiled and became a little expectant, while the others seated beside her looked toward Oryn with curious expressions.

Seeing the mood is set, he brings out an ocean clam and slowly opens it in front of her.

Soon a brightening moonlight appeared, but it didn’t blind anyone; instead, everyone who saw this felt their mind become somewhat calm.

Then everyone saw that the moment the calm shell fully opened, a small pearl appeared in it, which was emitting this moonlight.

Oryn smiled when he noticed the pleased expression on Nyra’s face after seeing the gift.

The others seated beside her also looked intrigued, finding the treasure interesting.

Only Naivara looked normal, because she had seen an even bigger pearl in the palace.

"Lady Nyra, this beautiful gift named Serenity Pearl and it has a mind soothing light."

Oryan said with smug expression while presenting forward, on which this time, Nyra personally comes down and takes it.

"Thank you, Prince Oryan."

With a smile she thanked him, and then returned back to her seat, while Oryn, more happily than before, also returned back to his seat.

Then exclamations explode.

"Wow, I have heard about this pearl, as it was so costly that only high level people had the capacity to buy it."

Everyone starts discussing excitedly because they know they have another tale to share.

Countness also smiled happily at this.

Luke also became intrigued, as this was the first time he had seen an item with such an effect.

Meanwhile, Aurielle, who was beside him, was still leaning against his shoulder while holding onto him tightly.
