Chapter 269 - Boy in Love (6) (1/2)
The moderate sized ballroom was slightly separated into tinier sections with the huge cards that acted as the wall. In general, there weren't many decorations like the prior parties we attended. It was the safest mansion to be in as the chance of anyone able to manipulate something was relatively low. Even if they floated something in the air, it was likely their attack would be almost harmless.
”We're going to greet the guests at the entrance while you can take over the ballroom,” Claire told us what was going to happen for the first part of the event.
”Most of the guests will arrive in the next hour. It won't be like the other events you attended so far since there is a limited number of invitations we hand out,” she explained.
I was starting to like Claire more and more. Since the number of invitations were limited, there was no way Ella's older brother would be able to attend. Meaning the three of them wouldn't be able to enter this mansion.
We stood in our places as Yulian pushed to open the grand doors. A screen hovered above the grand doors, showing who was allowed to come inside the gates. Claire pressed the button as she checked off the people on the guest list to control the gates.

”Thank you for coming,” Claire elegantly smiled.
”Only fraction leaders are allowed to attend from both the major and minor ones,” Luke whispered into my ear.
Unlike Claire's expectations, the room quickly filled up. In less than ten minutes, Yulian closed the doors while Claire placed the button into her inventory. Although I could spot the guests below us, the guests couldn't see us through the curtains.
”We decided to start the event off with an announcement. If you haven't heard already, we have picked our successors this month,” Claire waved her hand so the curtain would part.
Both Luke and I stood on top of the stairs, the small area of the second floor. I smiled as I spotted Haruka, Ben, Alice, Lucius and Belle inside the crowd. It appeared that no one wanted to miss attending their event.
”I introduce you to our successors, Rika de Impalia Roselia and Luke de Impalia Roselia,” Claire declared in front of a small crowd.
”It is our honor to join the Impalia fraction as the successor,” I slightly bowed.
Luke offered me his hand as we walked down the stairs to join Claire and Yulian. Since we got the most important part over with, the rest wouldn't be as hard. Haruka and his partner were the first to approach the four of us. It was expected since Claire and Yulian were also part of their fraction as well.
”It's like we're at another fraction meeting,” Haruka smiled.
Since Claire and Yulian were representing the Impalia fraction, they didn't respond. Instead, they continued to smile. Responding meant that the Impalia fraction was under Haruka's.
