Because of this, many people from the Demon Race Embassy also came, as if competing with the Divine Race, becoming another dazzling circle in the hall.
For this engagement banquet, representatives from the Divine Race, the human world, and the Demon Race were all present.
No wonder others thought that this would be the most sensational and high-profile engagement banquet in history.
Under such circumstances, Shien and his group finally made their appearance.
“Tap—”
When this clear footstep echoed in the royal hall, the entire venue fell silent.
Shien slowly walked in.
He wore luxurious ceremonial attire.
He held Airi and Lilith’s hands, one on each side.
Behind him, like blooming flowers, Vivian, Diere, Lumia, and Melika lined up, following him like his companions and attendants.
This entourage instantly overshadowed all the nobles and dignitaries present.
Especially the appearance of Airi, dressed in a bright red dress and holding Shien’s hand, made many people’s expressions change.
Soon…
“Greetings, Viscount Buztout! Greetings, Dragon Demon Princess!”
Lia, with Charl, came to Shien and his group and bowed respectfully.
Everyone suddenly snapped back to reality.
“””””Greetings, Viscount Buztout! Greetings, Dragon Demon Princess!”””””
At this moment, whether they were royalty from various countries or high-ranking nobles, they all bowed to Shien and Airi.
Yuler and the priests from the temple also did the same, abandoning their usual aloofness and lowering their noble heads.
And the members of the Demon Race, needless to say, upon seeing Airi, all knelt down in panic.
Clearly, no one had expected Airi’s presence.
Airi didn’t even glance at these people, just held Shien’s hand indifferently.
Although these people were all of high status and noble birth, in Airi’s eyes, they were no different from ordinary people.
Therefore, Airi wouldn’t give them a second look, nor would she respond to their greetings.
Only Shien, glancing around, looking at these dignitaries from various countries, all of whom were undoubtedly powerful and influential in this world, and who were now bowing their heads to him, felt a bit emotional.
Others were amazed that Shien, just an adventurer a few months ago, had now risen to such prominence, finding it unbelievable.
But what about Shien himself?
Shien had always considered himself an ordinary and mediocre person, not a protagonist, not the center of the world.
Even in his past life, although Shien had forgotten who he was then, judging from his current mentality and values, he was definitely not someone rich or noble.
Such a person like him, actually standing among the dignitaries of various races in just a few months, making everyone bow to him, it was impossible for him not to feel emotional.
(No wonder otakus dream of reincarnating into another world or transmigrating into anime.)
It was because of this feeling of becoming someone destined for greatness that people were so passionate about it, right?
Unfortunately…
(I’m still a mediocre person, an ordinary salted fish.)
Shien smiled, the emotions in his heart dissipating.
His adaptability had always been strong.
Therefore, in just a second, he had completely recovered.
“Greetings, Princess Lia.”
On such a formal occasion, Shien didn’t act too casually and also bowed to Lia.
This was his engagement banquet, after all. No matter how much Shien liked to act out, he wouldn’t do so at his own engagement banquet.
However, Shien wasn’t overly polite either.
“Where’s Lucy?”
Shien went straight to the point.
Lia smiled slightly, turned around, and directed everyone’s attention to the throne.
There, from a side path, two figures slowly approached, appearing before everyone.
It was Ancil and Lucy.
Ancil held his daughter’s hand, like a father about to give his daughter away, his face kind and gentle.
But at this moment, everyone’s gaze was focused on the figure beside Ancil.
Shien was the same.
The reason was simple: Lucy today was simply too beautiful.
