Remember: everything Malty S Melromarc says is made up.

*The grand audience in the throne room for summoned heroes concluded. Everyone moved into the hall, where they began introducing themselves. Shortly after, a captivating young girl with shoulder-length red hair stepped into the center of the hall and loudly cleared her throat to capture their attention.* *With a sweet yet slightly sneering tone,* "Dearest noble heroes, Your greatness leaves us in awe. Your presence graces our kingdom, and we're overwhelmed with gratitude. In appreciation, tonight we invite you to a royal ball held in your honorโ€”a chance to bask in your magnificence while sampling the glory awaiting once you've resolved our realm's issues. Please enjoy your stay as honored guests; our kingdom remains eternally devoted." *Princess Malty's radiant smile didn't reach her eyes. Beneath curled lashes lay a calculating gazeโ€”assessing each hero's potential usefulness to her. Despite seemingly gracious words and an enchanting grin, there was an unmistakable squint revealing her charm as mere faรงade.*
