Once Oro came to find us, he quickly explained us what happened. It seems that there were several heavily injured people. but that Yggdra's abilities were healing them over time. Mostly the injured were the valiant soldiers that went to fight the undead, the people inside the city survived and were all fine.

Aside from some houses having crumbled apart due to tremors, there were no victims because Oro made sure to evacuate every single person inside the underground area of the castle, where they were safe until everything ended.

And now we were enjoying a gigantic banquet in the castle while the summoned monsters controlled by Silva began helping the people move aside the rubble of the houses that crumbled apart and helping them in anything else if possible.

Although they looked a bit menacing, my Monster Summons were surprisingly friendly and intelligent, so they were very useful.

"So you're the Princess of the Wood Elven Kingdom?! Amazing! To think that you were the friends of Kireina and everyone else. That fills me happiness! You're welcome here as much as you desire!" Oro said happily.

"T-Thank you for your hospitality, King Oro." Elfina bowed her head. "I was… taken by the Genie's clutches and… well, that's on the past, I was saved, and I am fine now, I believe. I hope we can get along, and that you can forgive me for the things I've done. And if not, I am ready to pay however much you need to-"

Oro, however, stopped her by raising his hand.

"Dear, you were the victim here. There is nothing to apologize for. The real culprit was the demon that took over you and used you like a tool. Also, Kireina and her friends have helped our Kingdom so, so much that I would honestly feel TERRIBLE if I ever asked you for anything! So please, dear, calm down and relax. We're all friends here." Oro said.

"King Oro…" Elfina was crying once more, touched by his words. "Thank you… Thank you so much…"

"Oh my, please don't cry, it is ruining the mood of the party! Dancers, please make that girl happy!" Oro suddenly called a group of handsome and muscular male dancers, as they began dancing and showing their beautiful and manly bodies to Elfina.

"Oooh, this is getting good!" I said, delighting myself while raising a cup of wine.

"W-What is this?! Uwaaah! T-They're all almost naked!" Elfina panicked.

"RIGHT?!" Oro laughed. "They're my most beautiful dancers! They work day and night to make us happy with their incredible dances! Can't you appreciate those studs? They're a delight to see! I am glad Kireina gets it!" Giggled the King.

"Of course I get it." I smiled. "I used to also have dancers in my Kingdom. Though yours are very beautiful. You guys are doing an amazing job!" I praised them.

"T-Thank you so much Kireina-sama!"

"S-She praised us!"

"Kyaaah!"

"Alright everyone, let us celebrate their victory!"

The dancers continued dancing everywhere. Female dancers also joined them, and the Arabic music was rather hypnotizing. Without realizing I was already moving around and humming at their rhythm.

"Come on, come on! It is a time to celebrate, everyone!" Oro also started dancing. "Move your hips and raise your hands! Hey! Hey! Hey~!"

"Kyaaaah! Uwawawaahhh! T-This is a bit too stimulating to meeee!" Elfina started panicking as she was surrounded by many handsome men and beautiful women dancing around.

"L-Lady Elfinaaaa!" Sol tried to rescue her but he was also within the clutches of many beautiful dancers. "L-Let go of me! I-I don't know how to dance to begin with! Uagh!"

"Hahaha, I love it!" Ariant laughed.

"Let's show them the dancing moves of the Desert Elves, sister!" Eriant said.

The twins were surprisingly amazing Arabic belly dancers, showcasing their skills and doing a dancing battle against the other dancers.

"A-Ahahaha, this is a bit fun, I've never moved my body this way…" Brunhild was surprised of dancing, it was something the Titans never practiced.

Even Luminous on his smaller lizardman-like form was dragged into the dance, being handled around by everyone. And as I enjoyed the wine and moved my hips, I found a boring young man looking rather tiredly at the dance from the corner of the hall.

I walked towards him and greeted him.

"Hey, come on! What are you doing here all alone and gloomy? Come dance with everyone!" I said.

"Ah, Kireina…" Frank said. "I've never danced before and I… don't feel like it either."

"Huh? Why so edgy?" I wondered, raising an eyebrow.

"I-I am not being edgy." He sighed. "I just… can't really do these types of things knowing my family might be in their own dangers right now, I don't know how… I can't really relax."

"Huh, so that was it…" I sighed. "Didn't you said they were safe in your own Realm?"

"Yes but… I am still worried." Frank sighed. He looked at me with his blue eyes, wondering something. "Don't you ever feel this way? You said you had your children and your wives in your original world as well…"

"Of course I feel like you do as well." I sighed.

"Eh? You do?!" He wondered.

"But! Instead of feeling all gloomy and sad, I try to… You know? Look at the brighter side of things? I can't just dwell on my own sadness and depression forever. I like to always think there will be better times and that I will get to them and help them out. I trust them enough to know they're doing their best too." I said with an honest smile. I walked to his side and touched his nose. "You should also trust them some more and have some fun with us. I bet that's what they would had wanted as well."

"Kireina…" Frank muttered, suddenly blushing a bit. "T-That's… well, but I don't know how to dance though…"

"Whatever! Just move around and do some dancing or anything, come here!" I held his hand tightly and dragged him into the middle of the hall, forcing him to dance with me.

He was feeling embarrassed, but ultimately started to laugh and smile very happily.

"See? A smile suits your handsome face better." I winked back at him.

"Hahaha… Thank you." Frank said. "Sorry for being a party pooper, you're an amazing person, Kireina… I think I had the wrong impression of you."

"Yeeeah, but let's get along better." I said with a smile.

"Sure." Frank smiled back.
