Meanwhile
In Morningstar Mansion
Around a small table were sitting Lucas, Casper, and Rin discussing their next moves carefully
"Kianel family plan is going to take some time, we'll finish it after the royal party so let's just focus on that for now," said Lucas.
"Alright, sir, how are we going to deal with the Royal Knights' investigation? As you know, this morning they sent a letter to the palace asking you to visit them," said Casper.
In fact, because of the chaos caused by yesterday's event, the Royal Knights intervened in the investigation, and although they did not directly disturb Lucas, they actually sent a letter to Morningstar Mansion demanding Lucas's statement about the accident.
"Just don't answer them, they won't dare to bother us too much. Just getting ready for the next event will be more dangerous because we know very little about Laws," replied Lucas with a serious expression.
In fact, as Lucas and the head of the Kianel family had predicted, the royal family actually didn't want to create a bad relationship with the Morningstar family. This letter was sent only as an official procedure and it's not mandatory and they certainly wouldn't force Lucas to visit them if he didn't answer, after all, he didn't do anything as he only defended himself last night after all both Reynold and even Blanche attacked him first and of course, he has the right to punish them for their crimes as he wants. The royal family is actually surprised that Lucas left Reynold alive in the first place
"Okay, sir," Rin and Casper replied respectfully
(Laws Huh! This will be even more interesting than the previous battle. I can't wait for this party to come) Casper thought with an excited expression as he tried hard to hide his enthusiastic smile.
*******
After few days
In a big mansion in Morial city
Finally, it was time for the annual Luminarch Empire founding party, which everyone was waiting for, and like every year, the doors of the royal palace were opened and many luxurious wagons carrying the emblems of the most powerful families in the Luminarch Empire entered the royal palace, although the party did not start yet the party hall is already half filled with visitors, this party is a perfect opportunity to express goodwill towards the royal family and it is also a suitable place to establish relations with the powerful families who have unlimited authority over the continent so all the forces who got the chance to attend this party for sure.
"Because of the previous dinner party incident, there are already many eyes on us so keep in mind that you will be representing the royal family at this party…"
My sister Noelle continued her long speech looking towards us where my sisters and I stood in a straight line to listen to her speech before entering the party hall, but for some reason the image of a tall man with a cold expression kept appearing in my mind, which prevented me from hearing her words, In reality, no matter how much I think of it I can't understand why I'm thinking of that person. After all, our relationship ended a long time ago, but for some reason, I still get an uncomfortable feeling when I remember that he actually saw how miserable I became at that dinner party.
"Is that clear ?" Suddenly Noelle asked in a loud voice the thing that distracted my thinking
"Yes, I understood," I said while I heard the voices of my other sisters repeating the same sentence
"Okay, let's go," Noelle said, then turned around to head toward the banquet hall
The moment I was about to move too, I suddenly felt something slam me, pushing my body forward
"Did you hear what my sister said, try not to embarrass us again," Iman said in a provocative voice after she bumped into me
"Sister, don't waste your time with her, just look at her worn-out dress, just her presence would embarrass our family," said Mira, my younger sister and the Fifth Princess in a mocking voice as well.
(My dress? Aren't you the reason I got stuck with this ugly dress) I thought angrily as I looked at the old dress and ugly dress that I was wearing. In fact, it was the royal designer who forced me to wear this ugly dress on the pretext that it was the only party dress left after my sisters had chosen all the other available dresses, and I of course comprehended that this is just another disgusting plan by one of my sisters to further ruin my reputation. So, as usual, even though I was the victim I had to say "I'm sorry" and then I followed in the first princess's footsteps and started heading towards the celebration hall.
