But soon, the uncomfortable murmurs of those who recognized her ears longer than humans and shorter than those of elves started to rise from here and there.

 

Inside the building was a huge hall like a ballroom.
The floor of the hall had a rich and soft color as if it had been made entirely with jade, giving the impression that I was floating on the clouds.

 

And on the backside, there was an orchestra of around twenty people who were playing their instruments in front of a crystal, and tables and seats covered by dark shadows were evenly arranged around it.

 

But after a moment, a woman in a white dress with golden earrings the size of half her face approached us with a strange smile and said,

 

“Welcome, the young lady of the Arianne family.
If it’s not too much of a hassle, would you be okay with sitting with us?”

 

This woman with strangely sharp eyes gave a very scary impression.
At her request, Marie took her hand in a rather plausible voice and bowed her body slightly.

 

As I watched Marie led by her hands, I was able to hear the derisions following her from around.

 

After arriving at her seat, Marie carefully laid herself on the blue couch as wide as the sea.

 

She sat down with slightly awkward body movement as if it was her first time encountering such a couch, and the five women who were sitting around the table were smiling slightly.

 

Behind them, around two men in armor hid in the shadows with swords around their waists.
They had to be their knights.

 

I carefully posed behind Marie as they did, while busily rolling my eyes in my helmet.

 

“I welcome the Ari-ak family.”

 

“Pfft, sis!”

 

Soon, the short-haired blonde woman sitting on the other side began to speak with a funny accent, and the plump blonde woman next to her patted her on the shoulder and laughed.

 

“Ah, my apologies.
I thought it’d be the polite thing to do to speak in Periph dialect.”

 

The blonde woman with short hair shook her head in a funny way and frowned one of her eyes.
The other four women started to laugh out loud at this.

 

“Anyways, I heard that the grapes raised in Periph are as juicy as the waterfall of Adramal, and as ripe as the jewel of nights, Yorodd.
Is the Arianne family also running a vineyard in Periph?”

 

The woman who invited us over to this table asked Marie.
Marie calmly opened up to speak.

 

“Yes, our family runs a vineyard.”

 

The opponent swung her giant earrings attached to her ear and raised her upper body in response.

 

“Mhm?”

The woman with short red hair, who sat on the other side of the woman, who showed a bitter reaction after asking her question, frowned and said,

 

“To think that just a mere grape could earn you the title of nobility, it’s like a parvenu in a dirty mine.”

 

The other four women sitting around the table burst out laughing.

 

Then the short haired woman said again,

 

“Our family, Akazit, has a long history as a royal enchantress that infuses power with magic and objects.
The Arianne family definitely needs to put in more effort.”

 

The woman with giant earring continued,

 

“Yep, this isn’t a place you can attend just because you have a lot of money.”

 

The four others started to chime in on her statement.
They began to humiliate Marie in an instant and their actions began to grow out of control.

 

Some even walked out of the tables and looked at Marie with an eerie smile, as if they had come to find a new side dish to add on their gossiping session, snooping around.

 

And there the decisive blow occurred.
The woman with her short hair, smirking in a very unpleasant manner, emptying the wine glass in her hand, and said

 

“Anyways, how did our lady here end up being a half-elf?”

 

The woman in red hair continued,

 

“I can’t even imagine how it would feel to look like the ‘slaves’ on sale on the lowest floor of Bing Caravan, right?”

 

The woman with the giant earrings said also,

 

“I can tell that the head of the Arianne family is truly promiscuous.
If that was me, I would’ve gotten out of this room as fast I could with my eyes on the ground.”

 

And threw the final blow.

 

Even the crowd that gathered in the back started to openly cheer for her.

 

I quickly turned to see how Marie was doing.
However, I couldn’t see her back from where I was standing.

 

A moment later,

 

The woman with giant earrings sitting next to Marie tilted her head slightly.

 

“Oh my, does our lady from the Arianne family not know how to wear a choker properly?”

 

Every woman at the table turned to look at Marie’s neck.

 

Then the woman in red hair said as she shook her head,

 

“My goodness! She wore her choker upside down, how embarrassing, I can’t stand it!”

 

And started laughing out loud.
Soon, a short-haired woman across from Marie turned her back and pointed.

 

And a knight in a full set of armor appeared from her shade.

 

“Could you please go fix her outfit for me? It’s a real sore to my eyes.”

 

The knight started to walk towards Marie with a serpentine smile after hearing her command.

 

The ladies around the table started to make excited faces.

 

And so,

 

His hands,

Were slowly approaching Marie’s nape.

 

And I also moved at the same time.

 

I firmly grabbed his wrist heading towards in Marie’s direction,

 

And lightly applied a little strength to my grip.

 

Then his wrist along with his iron gauntlet were crushed.

 

“Eek, Gaaah!”

 

The knight started to roll on the ground in pain after a short shriek, and glared at me as if he wanted to kill me.

 

“Who do you think you’re reaching your hand to!”

 

I shouted in a growling voice with my teeth gritted, and he grabbed his wrist and slowly backed away in fear.

 

And the moment I hurriedly checked Marie’s face,

 

I realized that I had nothing to worry about at all.

 

She had a smile on her face.

 

A more evil smile than from the women sitting around the table.

 

“My, my.
Are all the knights from Akazit family made of garbage slaves like this one?”

 

“Wh-what?!”

 

The short haired woman blushed up instantly in embarrassment.

 

The crowd around cooled down in an instant.

 

“Well, I was wondering how great of a family you had since you were talking all big, but it seems that your family is not that great at all.”

 

“Y-you little mutt…!”

 

The woman wearing large earrings sitting next to Marie spoke harsh words as she grinded her teeth, and the woman sitting across from her stopped her.

 

“Foolish bitches.
This noblewoman whose presence you are in, plans to solve this situation by faithfully and honorably obeying the laws of the nobles for the insults you have presented.”

 

The women sitting around the table started to busily look at each other.

 

At this Marie,

 

“Maxim, my knight.”

 

Called my name, and I quickly kneeled on one knee and bowed my head in front of her.

 

“Yes, milady.”

 

“I, Marie of the Arianne family, have received an indelible insult from the Akazit family.
Therefore, I plan on restoring my reputation through challenging them to a ‘duel’ between the knights from each family.
Maxim, are you prepared?”

 

She was not taken aback by any means.

 

The ones I should pity were the five women sitting around the table over there.

 

I was angrier than her at the obscene insults that filled this hall towards Marie, so I shouted out with an involuntary smile on my face.

 

“I am the Knight of Flowers from the Arianne family, Maxim! I shall fight for our family’s honor!”
