Not the Successor to the Throne
Chapter 36. Travel Plan

Breaking the crowded atmosphere into silence was already Balthis' task. He took over the microphone to finish the task immediately.

"Good night. Welcome all the invited guests who have been present at this very important event. Earlier I apologized for changing Willard's successor announcement to expedite. Besides being an urgent matter, we decided to hold it today."

The invited guests present were focusing on the welcome that Balthis was currently in. Sometimes they look at the Eiger with a woman. Not only that, rumors of her engagement with the girl also came to the surface.

Old rumors about Eiger and Biana's relationship were heard from someone. Who else if not Biana herself. The incident involving Biana and Eiger had become a conversation of several people.

Before long, Balthis had already inaugurated that the man who continued Willard's leadership milestones was Eiger Louis Willard. Everyone congratulated and was grateful to finally be inaugurated. Furthermore, the Eiger is welcome to come forward to receive this extraordinary post and trust.

"Thank you, Papa. Earlier I thanked the invited guests who were present at the event tonight. Hopefully whatever is the decision of our big family can be well received by everyone. Tonight, I, as the only son of Mr. Balthis Willard, Eiger Louis Willard, received it with open arms."

The invited guests applauded as a sign of Eiger's acceptance as Balthis' replacement. Not to forget also Balthis say goodbye to everyone that after this event is finished, he and his wife will travel to several countries to enjoy a vacation.

Balthis' only goal was to find the whereabouts of Elov and then depose the Eiger who had played a big role in his family.

Not to forget, Eiger introduced someone who had been the center of attention. She is Zoe Diellza who was introduced as her lover.

The beauty of the girl is indeed radiating. No wonder some people could not believe that the girl he just saw was the lover of the Eiger.

"Congratulations, Mr Balthis! We didn't expect it to be this fast" said one of the guests.

"Thank you, Mister. It's also thanks to the support of all of you."

"Madam, you're lucky to have a son as good as Mr. Eiger. Besides being smart, responsible, and good at choosing a lover. When will the engagement take place? We are impatient!"

Is that the Eiger in everyone's eyes? Many invited guests always praise the greatness of the Eiger. Not only that, they also complained that the Eiger inherited Balthis as a whole.

"Oh, engagement issues. We will announce it again. You will also be participating in this special event" replied Jean.

"Of course, Madam. We're very hopeful."

Jean was fed up with her pretenses. However, Balthis kept him patient until Elov was found. Just a few steps away, Balthis will bring Elov back.

Eiger, Zoe, and Blerim take turns to meet the invited guests. Some people say that Eiger and Zoe are lovers who look very suitable.

"May match!"

"Don't forget the engagement invitation!"

"Well, you're a good couple!"

Those compliments made Biana's heart even more furious. This time he did not act rashly, but prepared to separate the Eiger and Zoe.

"Dad, we better go now," Biana asked her papa.

"Why, Honey? The show's not over!"

"Biana was sick of seeing Eiger and the girl. I asked Daddy to help separate the girl from her."

"Daddy can't do anything. Think of an elegant way to get the Eiger back. Moreover, he has officially replaced the position of Lord Balthis. There seems to be a lot of big secrets you don't know about the Willard family, honey," Elmer said.

"Biana promised to take them down one by one, Dad. I'll prioritize Eiger and the girl. It sucks!"

"Well, this is great, miss!" sahut David who turned out to have listened to the talk of children and papa quite intense.

"Focus on the goal, sir. Not anyone else. I don't think the list your daughter mentioned is entirely true. So, if you want revenge, focus on the goal!" david's Message.

The man then mingled with the invited guests.

"Dad, is he Uncle David? Why do you support me?"

"Come, Honey. Let's think of a way out."

While Eiger and Zoe look harmonious. Both went to food and drink.

"I didn't think you were that cool" Zoe said.

"Hemm, really? I think you're overreacting."

Zoe got me the pudding. Actually, he can take other food, but he thinks the easiest food is just pudding.

"Is every meal you always take dessert?" ask Eiger.

"Not really. I just took the close ones. Do you want an appetizer?"

"no need. This is enough." Forced Eiger to enjoy the chocolate pudding that Zoe gave him.

"Hemm, apparently you are here" said Balthis. He came deliberately with his wife.

Zoe did not know who it was, but according to Eiger's story, he was a man nicknamed papa. Zoe knows when to give a brief greeting in front of the invited guests.

"Yes. Papa and Mama want to eat?" ask Eiger.

"Yes, Eiger. Oh yeah, you're a sweet girl" Jean praised Zoe.

"Thank you, Aunty."

"Together, Honey. Take good care of Eiger. After this event, Aunty and her husband wanted to go on vacation first. That's why the company hastily turned over to the Eiger" Jean explained.

The plan that Balthis and Jean devised was very sudden. The two will not go with David as his youngest brother has a special task to keep an eye on Blerim and Eiger. He will also oversee the women close to the Eiger. Which has the potential to be a partner, then David will provide more support to him.

"Where are you going?" ask Eiger.

"Happy to a very beautiful place. Later, after Mama came home. Mama'll give you the review."

Zoe didn't respond to him too much. He remembered very well the pretense of the husband and wife. Really, they are getting an appreciation for playing the role very well. If Zoe had not known before, then she would have believed fully in their words.

"You are here all apparently," said Blerim. From afar he saw the interaction shown by Balthis and his wife. As long as they pretend and the Eiger is safe from his grasp, Blerim will remain silent. However, if things were to go wrong, Blerim would be the first to defend him.

"Yes, Uncle. I just remembered that Mama and Papa were going to travel after this event" Eiger explained.

"Well, really?" Blerim surprised. He doesn't even know what their plan is.

"Yes, Blerim. Titip Eiger and Zoe, yes! Take good care of it!" jean's message.

Blerim suspects this is another plan for his brother. She could already read that her brother was going to go look for Elov's whereabouts. Hopefully they come home with good news, but Blerim's own version of Elov is no more in the world.
