Chapter 11 - 11 (1/2)
The bright and lively main hall awhile ago turned pitch black with only screams are heard.
What really did happen?
Ryo, a half Twinci and full handsome (crt. his genes) was busy under the table which is he was performing the most 'awesome' act called hiding.
Flashback
In a banquet with some tables are occupied by the guest while the others are chatting to their long-seen acquaintances on their lively manner, there is usually a table that only solemn silence can be felt.
Why I'm here with this two cold ice blocks?
Ryo regretted sitting with his two so-called friends. He believe that he's the only one here in this table that is the most handsome and carefree person adding with his magnetic look. The others are just some stressful oldies, no one loves them.
The young ladies would passed by on their table greeting Ryo but they only just do that. Who would want to clamor on this table feeling the biting coldness?
No one.
Ryo was then tasked by Xi Chen to observe the people. Looking for someone suspicious. While the great first general was busy glaring to his long time rival, the 4th Prince.
In the midst of the servants, a girl with black maidservant clothing was busy serving the guests while looking from left to right and something was on her right wrist.
That caught Ryo's sight.
Ryo stand up from his seat dismissing himself from Fran. He gracefully glided towards the servant but this maid silently walked to a young lady. Giving her a great distance to the latter.
Zharine Brellin. The young mistress of the Brellin family and the heiress of their household was occupied chatting to her fellow young ladies. She was wearing her dazzling pink outfit with some purple peonies designed on it. She requested her butler to serve her some lovely wine and the butler obediently trudge to a male servant serving wine.
”Young Lady!”
The butler of Zharine instantly rushed to the scene, saving his young mistress to this dreadful sword and everything went black.
End of flashback
Ryo already told Xi Chen that he can't ȧssist the latter when the lights will went off. So that explained Ryo hiding on a table.
Chun irritatedly sauntered to a emergency lightsource. He's gonna break the bones of the culprit to this predicament.
A long haired youth with elegant purple clothing felt a chill from his back.
Who's cursing him?
Xi Chen hastily rushed to this escaping maid. They clashed sword to sword but unfortunately, this puppet was no match for him but the movement of it was so agile.
It can dodge his every strike with ease. But that's just one-third of Xi Chen's speed. The latter then increased his speed adding strength to his strikes, resulting for this puppet to falter with her every movement.
”What are we gonna do with this?”
Xi Chen scan the main hall when the lights finally went back.
”Bring it to 'the chamber' ”
”Yes, general”
The people begun their gesture of goodbyes when the lights went back, they pardon themselves for returning early because they don't want to experience the scene awhile ago.
