Chapter 160 - 152 (2/2)
Amper wasn't here though as she was with her family, helping to greet the guest also.
Suddenly the buzzing environment of the nobles went silent as all eyes were on the first miss of the Morai Household.
She was dressed in an elegant red dress, patterned with glinting jewels as her top while her long skirt was flowing in red color and hit by the light, it would turn scarlet, giving a depiction of fury flames. Emery Morai was like a personification of a soaring phoenix, reaching higher mountains.
Together with her darker shade aubergine hair color which was almost black tied up into a princess bun pinned with a elegant falling star diamond trinkets. Fair skin, black eyes, long curled eyelashes, pointed small nose and pouty pink lips. She carried a hint of gentleness in her facade as she greeted back to the people around her.
”I thought this was an event prepared solely for the second miss of the Morai, why is the host like a peacock? Such an attention seeker!” Wei Xi deliberately said it aloud for the gentle facade of the genial first miss to slightly cracked a bit, though she still maintained her friendly smile while she neared the silver haired young man's table.
Leika who sensed trouble brewing in, whispered unconsciously, ”She's coming..”
”Greetings to the dear heiress of the Wei Household, Miss Wei Xi.” Emery smiled at the sweet smiling also Wei Xi. The sweeter their smiles, the more poison could be smelled in the air.
Although, the fight between the first and second missus of the Morai Household wasn't that known but the grudge between Emery and Wei Xi was infamous that every noble who was at attendance wanted to see a good show as they silently observed from the sideline.
”Hmm... Greetings too. Have a very very good day also, Miss Emery. Instead of the host receiving the guests, why is the star of the event was switched with the position? Or I might wrong myself and maybe Amper was the host here and you're...”
The heiress trailed off as she stood also to match the standing opponent. Chun was unintentionally dragged in a standing position as well, her fork with an eaten piece of meat was left in the plate.
Chun was now in the middle of the fight as the heiress continued to cling on her.
Emery was about to reply with her usual remark to infuriate the heiress, she didn't anticipate that her breath would be caught up in her throat while her heart missed a beat.
A handsome young man with odd silver hair and very enthralling aura caught her off guard. 'He' had a deep hooded scarlet eyes, if 'he' directed 'his' sight to her, she would be trap in the pool of mysteries and charm. Even though the silver haired young man ȧssumed a languid and relaxed vibe, Emery could sense that this person wasn't simple as it seemed.
”And who you might be?” The first miss controlled the infatuated light on her eyes as she stayed calm. Not bothering to anger the heiress who was already pumped up to battle with words.
As a female who could easily sensed what a fellow female was thinking, Wei Xi snorted as she introduced the silver haired young man, ”This is Chun, the current top ranker and he's mine!”
The silver haired young man pretended to not hear anything as she continued to lessen her presence. She almost cursed the first miss for mentioning her, she was already been fine of standing there and acting as a statue but now that she was mentioned, she couldn't help but feel few burning stares directed to him.
Chun admitted that she couldn't maintained her student life a being lowkey when she joined with this group of nobles and odd fellows but she had no plan to have another spotlight in here and the deal wasn't only the nobles invited here but there were also her so called family members, the princes and the princesses who was attending Charm Excellence and decided to swing by this event as they had nothing to do.
Chun had been used to Wei Xi's shamelessness so she wasn't surprise by her words, she only hope that Amper would arrive now so the true event would start.
”I heard that you aren't compatible with this person while pairing...” Emery said with her sweetest smile as she didn't look at the infuriated heiress.
”Chun is your name right?” She tenderly smiled at the silver haired young man which only put the other into a tight situation.
Chun:….. 'Could I escape now? System! Xuan! You dumb fellow! Where are you? I thought you will help when my life's in danger?!'
