My Beautiful Disciples, I'm really not the Main Character!-Chapter 376 - : Arrival of the unexpected Guest from East

The Royal City had experienced quite a lot in a single day. In the morning, the Royal Guards and the Priests searched the entire city, as if looking for something.

In the evening, things were even more hectic as many influential people could be seen, traveling to the Royal Palace. Luxurious carriages could be seen leaving the mansions of prominent families.

Royal Guards were all over the city, maintaining the traffic which simply meant keeping commoners away from the main streets so the nobles were not disturbed during their journey.

Contrary to the chaotic city, the scene outside the city was much calmer. The Guards were standing near the city entrance, leaning on their spears, appearing quite bored.

Some of them were occasionally looking inside the bright city, sighing. "There is a Royal Banquet tonight. If only we could also experience it..."

"Don't be ridiculous. People like us can never get invited to the Banquet. Don't you know, it's for important guests? Only nobles and influential people have been invited."

"I know. I didn't say I wanted to attend as a guest. But simply being on guard duty inside the palace would have been incredible. We're stuck here, doing the most insignificant duty."

Many of the guards assigned outside the city felt useless, especially since the first line of defense for the city was the barrier itself. No one without a permit from the Holy Church could even pass through the barrier.

If there was an enemy that could pass through the barrier, then could they even stop someone like that? Instead, they felt they could be much better utilized as Guards of the Palace, which was the dream job of the Royal Guards.

Not only were the Palace Guards paid more, but they were also much closer to the Holy Emperor, hence carrying more influence.

"Stop dreaming and forget the banquet," another guard said, shaking his head. "The more you dream, the more disappointing reality gets."

"Also, the Banquet is for the Envoys from the Great Demon Sect. Even if they are here as a guest, do you really want to be near those crazy people? Haven't you heard stories about them?"

"Heh, can't the stories he exaggerated? I mean do you seriously expect me to believe that they are demons who annihilate kingdoms because of even the slightest disrespect? That's most probably just a rumor spread by them to make people fear them."

"I agree. My sister works as a maid in the palace. She told me that the Envoys of the Demon Sect are very normal and not crazy in the least. They are also quite close to the Holy Emperor. The one thing about them is that they are very perverted."

"Perverted how?" Most of the guards who hadn't heard the stories yet grew curious.

"Of course the two envoys from the Demon Sect are very perverted. Apparently they were inside the room, going wild all day long," The Guard answered, appearing smug because he knew more than the others here.

"Did you say there are envoys from the Demon Sect here?"

While the Guard was expecting more questions from the others, he heard a woman's voice.

The voice was so charming that even without looking at that woman, he could feel that she was extremely beautiful. His heartbeat fastened.

He raised his head and looked at the woman in the distance who had appeared here like a ghost. He couldn't even feel her presence until she spoke.

The woman was wearing a black cloak that covered most of her body, still failing to hide her seductive curves. There was a veil covering the lower half of her face, looking like a treasure in itself.

The Guards could only see the eyes of the woman. It took them quite some time to regain their composure. Even if the woman was beautiful, she was extremely suspicious.

"Who are you?" One of the Guards asked, his heart still beating rapidly.

....

Even though most of the guests had already arrived, the Banquet was yet to begin. A few extremely important guests were still missing after all.

No one from the Royal Family had arrived yet. It was the same for those from the Holy Church. Without their arrival, the banquet couldn't begin.

The Guards who had already arrived, also looked a little scared. They occasionally looked at Eren and Zia, swiftly taking their gazes off.

They were still slightly hesitant about approaching the Great Elders of the Demon Sect, not forgetting the kind of reputation they had.

It was said that if they made even the slightest mistake in their greetings, the barbarians were going to rip their heads off their bodies. None of them risked it.

They simply offered their greetings to the Holy Emperor who was sitting on the throne.

The more these people avoided his clone, the more relieved Eren felt. The less they interacted with the close, the less risky it was for him.

Unfortunately, the stalemate did not last for long. The door closed as an announcement was made that the Royal Family members had arrived.

From the entrance, a group of people walked inside. In the lead was the man who was the younger brother of the Holy Emperor and the next in line to become the Emperor as the Holy Emperor didn't have a descendant.

Eren was already expecting their arrival. Even though he didn't have the memories of the original emperor, he knew the kind of relationships the two brothers shared, thanks to the memories stolen from the Transmigrator.

The two brothers shared an extremely complicated relationship.

He approached the so-called brother and his family, only to come to a sudden halt when another announcement was made.

"Her Holiness, the Holy Priestess has arrived!"

The hall that had been very lively until that point suddenly grew silent. Almost everyone looked towards the entrance while the atmosphere suddenly grew heavy.

A woman shrouded in the holiest aura entered, accompanied by multiple Cardinals, each possessing the purest of aura.
