The Dragon'S Blue Gem
(S3) Chapter 131 [Debutante Party]

The glitter of light was so dazzling to the eyes. People swarmed and attacked each other with words. Both the young and the old gathered there. Wear their best clothes.

The girl felt alone in the middle of hundreds of people in her house. Just stand staring at his shoes. I heard people talking about him. Whether it's words of pity or satirical praise.

"What a pity Miss Arsilla, even though she's a high-ranking noble, but her fiance is just a commoner? He must be mad at her."

"Even at his own son's Debutante's Party, Marques Arsilla was absent. Does he not love his son, does he?"

"Seeing the Machioness and the Second Miss, they seemed to blend in with the invited guests. But the first Miss was silent in the corner. Does he know about Krama's system?"

"His red eyes gave me goosebumps. He's really not human, huh."

Not that this girl didn't hear what she was saying. Vampires are sharper than humans. He heard everything well.

His feelings are mixed. It's hard to say he's angry, sad or disappointed.

Under such circumstances, his half-sister approached with two glasses of juice.

"Good, follow it like that and do not do anything unnecessary."

Ruby silently listened without expression.

"After all, no one is on your side now" said the younger brother.

"It's your own fault that getting engaged to commoners is useless, ka-ka-k."

Ruby pupil vibrates. He wasn't so angry when he was taunted. Another thing with his fiancee.

"It is true that Aqua now has no title and is just a commoner. But who do you dare to call it useless!?"

"Unlike you that fool, I have good eyes~ look! My fiancee is so special, plus she is the Crown Prince of this empire," snobbed Nedura.

"When you whine unwillingly because you already like Hyveno Demifa, now it actually boasts your cousin," Ruby's inner with a flat face.

"I heard someone mention me earlier, may I know it's ladies?"

A lemon-blonde teenage boy walked over to where Ruby and Nedura were standing.

There was no one in this empire who did not know him. He was the Star of the Empire, the Crown Prince of Analic Rozon de Levana. With just a faint smile, the young noble ladies who were there instantly melted and screamed in their hearts.

"Analic!!!!"

Nedura immediately put down her glass and hugged the Crown Prince's arm full of indulgence. While Ruby immediately greeted by pulling a little dress and lowered her head 45°.

The Crown Prince's expression was a little reluctant, but he did not reject it.

"Are you talking about me, Nedura?"

"Yes!! I only boast of you being so perfect. How dare there be a woman who rejects you" replied Nedura sneering.

The Crown Prince chuckled and denied. But in her heart, she was also annoyed at Ruby who dared to refuse to be her fiance. Because although not clearly announced, the actions of Ruby who chose her own fiance despite knowing she was the strongest candidate for the Crown Prince's fiancee was a form of disrespectful rejection.

"Do you love her, Miss Rubylia? I'm not that bad at separating two people who love each other. So I'll support you!" exclaim the Crown Prince.

Ruby glanced at the Crown Prince for a moment.

"He's always like that, even in games. What you're saying is, 'I don't care if you're engaged for what reason. But how dare you reject me for such a trivial thing, right?"

"Well! Crown Prince, you are too kind!"

"How big is the heart of the Crown Prince!"

"I envy Miss Nedura."

"It is indeed who he is that dares to reject the Crown Prince!"

"Based on stupid girls," Ruby's inner annoyance.

Ruby secretly taunted the Crown Prince.

"I didn't like him from the beginning. As a game character, he was too sloppy. He liked Heroine who was so pure and acted differently. But when other people do the same thing, he takes it as a big insult."

"Rather than being called love, for me the Crown Prince's feelings on heroin are more about being attracted to a new toy."

"Aqua is a thousand times better than him."

Ruby didn't hear very well what they were talking about afterwards. He just kept quiet like a statue. Their words enter the right ear and exit the left ear just like that. His attention from earlier was only at the entrance.

Waiting.

Wait patiently for someone who has promised him to come.

"I hate this situation. My only hope is Aqua. Please pull me out of here." she thought lonely.

"TURNT TURURUNT TURUNT"

The sound of trumpets sounded throughout the room. Everyone's eyes immediately shifted to the entrance.

Ruby who always bent down immediately raised her head, hoping for someone who was waiting for her.

But his hope was lost instantly.

"Your Majesty the Emperor and His Majesty the Empress entered the room!!!!" exclaim the guard knight with a loud voice.

RUBY POV

Why do I feel disappointed? Though I had expected the possibility of Aqua not coming.

Even so, it seems like I can't resist this feeling. Even as my body bowed before the Emperor, my mind floated somewhere.

All this time I've been holding on...

Resisting the weight of torment and loneliness... Why did this have to happen to me after I lost my sister and mother?

Being preoccupied with my own thoughts, I did not realize that the Emperor and the Empress were already standing before me. The Machioness also followed them from behind.

"Hohohohoho's... Miss Arsilla, I haven't seen you in a long time. It looks like you have grown even more beautiful," the Emperor praised.

Just stale base. You think I didn't realize that from earlier your eyes were glancing at the Crown Prince and I took turns?

"Thank you for your compliment, Sire. This lowly me does not deserve it."

"Don't humble yourself like that. The Arsilla family had always been the right hand of the Empire. Your identity is by no means inferior," the Emperor denied.

Right hand of the empire, huh.there is no noble who does not know the nickname of our Arsilla Family.

Imperial Dog

Well, that's not entirely wrong. It's true we can't go against our master's orders like dogs.

The Empress touched the Emperor's hand.

"She, we haven't been to a party in a long time. Let's let the kids get together with each other."

"Hahaha, you're right. Let's just go."

My eyes meet His Majesty the Empress. He smiled as kindly as ever.

Imperial Empress, Kaleena Fern de Levana.

Different from the Queen (the first Prince's mother) and the previous Queen (the Crown Prince's mother), Her Highness the Empress was not at all interested in the throne. From the beginning she was pregnant, she had already disinherited her child, no matter her son or daughter.

All the Empress wanted was for her son to be free to do whatever they wanted. Therefore the nobles did not consider it dangerous and let the Empress and her two daughters just like that. As long as he doesn't bother them.

Most people only know that Her Highness the Empress is the Princess of a small Kingdom called Oryza located far away in the Magic Continent. But the reality is very different. From the beginning the identity of this Empress was unusual.

Many do not know what kind of place the Kingdom of Oryza is. It was actually no ordinary small kingdom. Because the inhabitants of the kingdom are not human. Except for a rare race close to nature, the Dryad.

This is actually a big plot twist in the game. The Dryad race is a race that can reproduce with only one parent. The Empress married the Emperor for some reason. But while sleeping together, the Emperor would be anesthetized unknowingly and the Empress made it seem as if they had slept together and were pregnant.

But again it's not true. In fact, the Empress gave birth to the Third and Fourth Daughters only from herself. They both did not carry his father's genes at all.

So the Empress, Third Princess and Fourth Princess were pure Dryads.

"Sister! Haven't seen each other in a long time, why are you so busy lately?" machioness asked in the middle of the Emperor's journey.

"I'm sorry, Estifa. I have been busy lately" replied the Emperor.

"Is it because of the hero?"

"..... Right."." Right."

"But not only that, I did not find the slightest information about the girl. Where did the kid go?" inner Emperor.

The Machioness seemed to realize something was strange. His eyebrows twitched earlier.

Well, it's none of my business.

"!"

Soft music began to fill the room.

Ah, so so it is. It's time for the main dance, huh.

It was only fitting that the young lords of nobility immediately approached the young ladies to ask them to dance.

"Kamorhi..."

Nedura chuckled at me alone, with no one to ask me to dance. He danced after receiving the Crown Prince's invitation and became the center of attention. Even though I was supposed to be the main role of this party.

Most nobles don't dare to take me because behind me are the Machioness. Those who don't want to be enemies of the Machioness will definitely try to avoid me. All they could do was mock and use me from behind.

It's annoying.

I want to burn this place down.

As long as the Imperial Family is unharmed, it doesn't matter that I kill everything, right?

"......"

No, what was I just thinking? I don't want to be a fugitive just because of that.

Be patient until you enter the academy.
