Canceled Duke'S Engagement With Contact Fiancee
Chapter 5 The heir of each duke's family
Asha and Caius spent the afternoon together, and Caius returned home because he still had a lot of work. Asha felt that the male figure was similar to a person, but maybe only his feelings because it was possible for people to have similar behavior in such a vast world.
A few days later the party came and because today she had to accompany her mother to come to the dance, Asha had to wake up early even though the sun had not yet risen. It was indeed very annoying since he had to prepare so perfectly just to attend a party, but this party was not an ordinary party this was the Duke's birthday party, which was, this means that all the heirs of the Duke family are asked to be able to gather together to discuss the territory they will take care of when they inherit the title belonging to their parents this is no exception with Asha who is a child duke Edelstein's single family.
"Woah my mother's daughter is very beautiful,"
"It's a pity that your fiancee said she had to go to the middle east country because there was some business there," said the mother with a sparkling gaze staring at her daughter who looks very beautiful while Asha can only smile stiffly for the happiness of the mother who might force her to keep smiling
Asha and her mother set out to use teleportation magic, although it was expensive because the news of Duke Aelfraed's family's birthday was spread out which meant that the entire heir of the Duke's family had to attend. It would be a danger if one of them were to be wretched therefore whenever there was a huge feast involving the heirs of the Duke family, they would be asked not to be too stingy with their finances to use magic. Asha herself felt that she was able to protect herself, as she was a master of sword aura who was supposed to work in the kingdom but was opposed by both her parents because she was the only daughter of the Edelstein family.
Upon arriving Asha and her mother at the party, sharp gazes and whisper talk were seen from the nobles who were watching their families, upon entering the room especially to Asha who was the daughter and heir of the Edelstein family.
Asha and her mother separated in the middle of the room because she felt the responsibility to deliver the mother was complete, quickly Asha went straight to the corner of the room where no one dared to approach the corner. That corner is where Asha and the other prospective heirs gather or can be said to be Asha's friends since childhood.
"Asha, haven't seen each other in a long time,"
"I miss you" said a girl without cue hugging Asha who had just reached the corner of the room
"Grace, can you let go of your embrace first,"
"I will die soon" said Asha in a stammering voice due to the woman's tight embrace
"Since the four of us have gathered all together then how do we go to the special rest room provided,"
"It's not good if we talk here, while the party's only gonna start in about two hours," said a green-eyed man trembling as he looked at all the people in the room, Asha and the others agreed to the proposal to move directly from the corner of the room to the room that had been provided by the Aelfraed family.
Aelfraed is a family that rarely holds parties or banquets if not important, but to his friends who came from the same Duke family it seemed like not just one or two times he held a small event to gather together. It could be almost every day they all met until the head of the Aelfraed family made a special room for them to play or have tea together, he said, of course this is done just like the other Duke families because their friendship was inseparable since childhood.
"So there is still the son of the organizer of the event who has not been present among us,"
"I know you're upset with the royal family, but we also have to be wary of the nobles, because they all have a stronghold they have to support in order to choose the leader who will ascend the throne,"
"Of course this would involve us being on the neutral side, therefore they would definitely pit each other against us,"
"I hope you're not all fooled by their nonsense" continued the man next to her with a cold look
Political talks between families just happen, Asha who is in that situation feels her brain will emit smoke. Asha certainly knows that she is currently in the novel and she knows all the plot, but she never knows what kind of friendship the four nobles made so strong, until finally Asha in the novel who betrayed that relationship by promised the death of the protagonist and his happy life along with his fiancee without any intruders.
But Asha who knows it will not betray the friendship that means so much to her. Suddenly the voice of a man spoke in Asha's ear to make her realize from her daydream.
"Ehan, you.." said Asha with an annoyed and sharp look towards the man who was looking at her gently but coldly.
"Welcome to Duke Aelfraed's residence,"
"Asha, Grace, Dain, and Ian haven't seen you in a long time" said the man who entered the room with a friendly smile
"Ehan, aren't you a guest welcome? your father has a birthday" Grace said with a curious look
"Whoever would be looked at by an adult with such a cynical look in that party room,"
"In addition to their gazes like people who thirst for our mistakes as heirs," said Ian with a goosebumping feeling recalling all the nobles who stared at them like ready-to-hunt food at any time
Asha and the others saw that Ian's behavior could only sigh because Ian had a nature that easily trembled when in public. Then they talked about fun things, until a servant came and told them that the feast was about to begin, therefore they all had to come out of the room with a cold gaze so as not to be looked down upon by the other nobles about the heir to every duke's family. Arriving at the big door, the five names of each prospective family heir are mentioned which then the big door opens to mean that the stage full of false masks has been opened.
"I'm sure we can all deal with it as usual,"
