THE REINCARNATION OF THE DARK LORD
New Friends
The atmosphere that was previously lively was full, suddenly silent after hearing what Crown Prince Antares Le Zaranor had said.
Who would have thought it turned out that the young man targeted throughout the kingdom had already had a fiancee since he was a child? Whispers began to be heard talking about Aileen and the Crown Prince who looked very suitable.
“It is only fitting that during this time the emperor always rejected the proposed proposal for the Crown Prince.”
“Lady Aileen looks very compatible with the Crown Prince, she really is like a goddess.”
“No wonder the Emperor willingly rejected the entire proposal, Lady Aileen's beauty could completely destroy a kingdom.
There were many more whispers of the nobles that made Aileen want to cut their tongues so that they would no longer be noisy.
[These nobles are really gossip masons! Although it is no different from the nobility in my people before.] His mind is upset.
His flat face heard various words that sounded, clearly indicating that he really did not like the thing that was going on. In contrast to Mr. Felix and Crown Prince Antares who seemed to enjoy the praise given by the sycophants.
“What Your Majesty will be married to Lady Aileen soon?” ask a man who doesn't seem to like the big news he just heard.
Aileen watched the figure closely, she was clearly aware of the trace of anger on the old man's face.
“I will not get married at a young age and no one will be able to force me,” said Aileen with a flat face.
Distract the guests to him.
“Don't the Crown Prince have to get married soon in order to ascend the throne?” the whispers began to sound again.
The Crown Prince seemed to dislike Aileen's words.
“Of course we will get married soon, Lady Aileen is still too young to think about it,” as firmly, so that no bad news circulates.
Aileen tried her hardest not to slash the head of the young man who interrupted her speech.
[Relax Aileen, you have to be patient,] her mind is trying to be patient.
“I think now I'm old enough to make my own choice,” said Aileen casually, while breaking away from the Crown Prince.
“Please enjoy the fast,” he continued in a loud voice.
The music that had previously stopped, was again heard filling the party atmosphere.
“My greetings, Lady Aileen,” greet a girl of the same age as Aileen.
“Who?” said Aileen giving a judging look at the figure standing before her right now.
“I'm Sofianne Jen Vernando, daughter of Lucius Jen Vernando. Hopefully we can be friends,” obviously the girl named Sofia with a smile that can not be separated from her face.
“Lady Sofia, nice to meet you.” Aileen replied to Sofia with a flat face, who would agree that she felt happy with such a face?
“What Lady Aileen would like me to introduce to my father?” take Sofia cheerfully. Aileen looked at the strange girl in front of her.
[Are they not tired of smiling?] mind confused.
[But I have to be vigilant, he could have approached me because of malicious intent] he continued.
“Of course,” says Aileen has finally agreed to Sofia's invitation.
“Ayo.”
Aileen just followed Sofia from behind without any intention of familiarizing herself, in contrast to Sofia who had since conveyed various things about her. Makes Aileen feel like her mouth might get tired if she talks a lot like Sofia.
“Dad!” call him to the man who looks so young who is of course his father.
“Sofianne don't harden your voice like that,” her rebuke to the princess.
“I brought Lady Aileen, dad should get acquainted with her. Because now he is my friend,” explained Sofia while carrying Aileen standing next to him.
Aileen who had since noticed the interaction of father and son felt that there was something strange, how could a man as young as this have a daughter who was no different from him.
“My greetings, Lady Aileen. Introduce me Lucius Jen Vernando, you can call me Mr. Lucius,” greet Mr. Lucius politely because his level of nobility is clearly under the Ryder family.
Aileen bowed her body slightly greeting without opening her voice. He felt no need to bother introducing himself, because everyone at the party must have known him, right?
“Are you father and son?” aileen asked in her flat voice.
“Of course, my father is a white witch so he will not age for a long time. I did too,” said Sofia proudly of her origin.
Aileen felt her heart beat twice as fast. It was unexpected that he would meet with the white mage clan so soon. However, he certainly did not show his surprise.
“It seems like it is an honor for the Ryder family, due to the arrival of the illustrious wizarding clan,” Aileen said in a flattering statement.
“You're too much, Lady. The white witch clan is nothing compared to the Ryder family, ” said Lord Lucius.
The three chatted a little and ended when Aileen separated from the father and son.
[Truly draining]
In the corner of the room Aileen felt that someone was watching her. However, he did not want to unmask her. Let it be, later he will also finish off everyone who is here.
It doesn't feel like the party is passing very slowly, it's getting late tonight. One by one the guests began to leave the Ryder residence with their proud chariot.”
“I think, I better increase my strength than to have to follow a tiring party like this,” muttered Aileen.
“Now I have to face this shameless man, as I turn my attention to the Crown Prince and Mr. Felix walking towards him.
“Follow me,” said Mr. Felix as soon as he passed Aileen.
With a great sense of laziness, Aileen also followed the steps of the two men of different ages. He knew what they were going to talk to him about, but couldn't they do it tomorrow? Really disturbing.
Moments like this, sometimes Aileen expected William's presence. Because William will usually prevent himself from meeting the Crown Prince, I don't know what he means. However, Aileen was certainly grateful for that.
Unfortunately, William is currently not at Ryder's residence. Having to carry out his duties as a young general in the empire, he was rarely at home.
[If the stone man is here, at least I can rest early] he murmured at the thought of William's presence.
“Can't you talk about it tomorrow? I'm tired,” said Aileen finally opened her voice.
The steps of Mr. Felix and the Crown Prince simultaneously stopped upon hearing Aileen's words.
“If you can now, why waste time?” sahut Mr. Felix.
“Unfortunately, I would rather waste my time on rest than talking to you,” Aileen replied with a sharp look.
Crown Prince Antares seemed to sigh realizing that the girl before him seemed to be completely tired.
“Alright, we talk tomorrow only,” he said breaking up the feud between father and son.
“But ...”
“I'm also tired, better prepare a room for me because I'll stay overnight,” Crown Prince cut.
Aileen who heard the Crown Prince's words immediately left from there before anything else would hold her back.
“The old man does suck,” his murmur.
