New Life as the Kingdom's Youngest Son
guests are not invited

The night had come, the waiters brought Aldric clothes and food before Cedric came to pick him up, Aldric looking towards the dinner provided this time was different from his usual one.

It was a purple steak, the smell of meat so strong it could be smelled from him, Aldric was no longer surprised by this kind of food, in fact, he served yesterday a boiled meat with scales that are still attached to the meat.

Aldric looked towards the painting and saw he only had 10-20 minutes, he quickly cut the meat and ate it.

It tastes like beef but leaves a warm trail in the mouth and throat like ginger.

After that he immediately changed his clothes it was a formal black shirt with stitching red thread making beautiful patterns throughout the entire part of the shirt, not forgetting he used a gift scarf from the system, not to forget, when he reflects the most striking thing is his scarf whose quality is different from the rest of his wear, but it should not be a problem.

The sound of knocking on the door rang out after Aldric tidied himself up, he then took the communication crystal that Eda gave him and kept it in his pocket, and opened the door.

Cedric looked different than usual, usually he used his full armor but saw him using formal clothes really something different, he said, the tube is indeed large not only because of the armor but because the muscles are indeed large physically really good.

"are you ready ?" Aldric nodded "yup, I'm ready" and they began to walk Aldric, remembering his two sisters "eh... Brother Seraphina with Celestia where is it ?".

"oh they. well they have affairs in the Xyronthia zone... Relax, they don't go in there... Solve some business"

Aldric could only nod as if he understood he did not know what the Xyronthia zone was and he did not know how to properly mention it.

Long story short they reached the house of the party organizer, the place still looks lonely, but there are already some guests present, the age difference between Aldric and most who come is not so different.

Not so surprising is Cedric who immediately became a center for women, many who came and wanted to talk to him even with a small number of guests in a room so large.

Table with food and snacks is on the side of the room with the waiter who is ready to give the food.

Aldric just stood up and looked around him confused what to do, and the number of guests who came more and more crowded conditions.

Until a girl canting in a red dress, long black hair with roses that fastened her hair came towards Aldric holding two glasses of wine.

"grapes ?" the girl said politely, Aldric accepted it "of course.... Thank you" the girl also bowed respectfully "it doesn't matter Mr. Aldric, introduce my name Nakuru Ravenswood introduce"

Aldric was a little surprised she was the daughter of the host of this party Aldric nodded "s-greetings know..." Aldric was a little awkward he did not know how to be formal to the nobles who were below him.

"please try the wine, you have never drank the fencing ? I've never drank it either." Aldric looked towards the glass with those long legs, "oh i-iya mari" Aldric and Nakuru drank it.

Nakuru is seen enjoying the wine while Aldric almost spouts the wine in his mouth but he continues to swallow it.

Nakuru noticed the dislike of Aldric's body movements "are you okay?, does the wine not meet your taste buds ?"

Aldric tried to smile politely, not wanting to offend Nakuru. "Oh, no, not so. The wine is delicious, but maybe I am not a wine connoisseur,.. It's not my taste"

Nakuru nodded in understanding "oh. I was honestly shocked when I first tried the wine, but I immediately liked it" Aldric felt something strange in Nakuru's speech.

"when was that first time ?" Nakuru Langsumg realizes his mistake "um... Anu.. it..." Nakuru seemed to have difficulty speaking or looking directly at Aldric.

"...you ever drank it before you went through the ritual huh ?" Nakuru looks panicked but she tries to stay calm "t-no, a... I drank it this afternoon... Yeah! I drank it first this afternoon"

"but you look as experienced in drinking it looks to the way you hold a glass and the way you drink" Nakuru looks defeated, he can only resign "sorry... Can you keep this a secret ?" Nakuru while looking directly into Aldric's eyes pleaded.

"well, of course why not... I should have stopped and believed it on your grounds" Nakuru looked relieved "huuu..... Thank goodness..."

More and more guests soon many people began to join the talk of Aldric and Nakuru starting from men and women from different noble families even Roderick came, he said, they talk about a lot of things like what they will do to the front, they want to be what and others.

Cedric saw all this from a distance, he could only smile seeing his sister make new friends and a proof that he was starting to open up, he said, there was a warm and calm feeling knowing her sister would be fine.

As he spoke, Aldric's gaze drifted out the window where he saw some purple light moving rapidly there were many, Aldric immediately felt bad in his heart, feeling something bad is going to happen.

Aldric asked Nakuru "excuse me Miss Nakuru where is the bathroom ?" Nakuru nodded "waiter !" he called the waiter and then asked him to take Aldric to the bathroom.

"hurry back later to miss the main event" Roderick Aldric remembered just nodding and leaving the party area.

The way to the bathroom was quite far away but he finally arrived, the waiter was waiting at the side of the bathroom door, while Aldric locked the door and took out the crystal given by Eda, if he remembered how to use a propety that had its own energy he had to focus on that crystal.

He focused on the kristal, all his thoughts focused on him while closing his eyes until a familiar voice rang out in his head "hello, Aldric ?"the voice sounded so clear, it felt strange to hear something from inside his head yet it was not a problem for now.

"his highness... I was at the Ravenswood family party... And I saw a lot of purple glowing creatures moving in the night and night kegelpam"

Aldric's speech was cut off he heard the sound of glass breaking and the sound of someone shouting and it seemed like the goddess heard that as well.

"Aldric listen to me stay where you are now... I'll send help there" Aldric nodded his "well please hurry" communication was cut off at that very instant, suddenly the atmosphere became cold, the light from the light crystal dimmed and died, and the, the entire mansion turned pitch-black, all Aldric heard from outside was the sound of screaming, and the sound of crashing sharp objects onto something loud.
