The Duke'S Only Beloved Fiance
Chapter 22 Engagement Party

Grand and lavish feasts were held inside the royal palace with the permission of the king to the Duke's family and his exile for his services that had won important wars. The party was attended by many important people from various countries. Clara did not expect a figure like herself to be engaged to a male figure who is an important role in the novel, but according to the contents in the contract they made about the breach between their relationship if one of them both broke the contract then it means they can at any time to break the engagement these. Clara certainly also knew that this engagement was just a chain that binds up to Dain actually falling in love with the Holy Girl and obsessing over her.

"Clara, are you ready?"

"You don't have to be tense or nervous because I'm beside you" said the man waiting for her at the door with a helping hand

Clara sighed to calm herself down before walking and reaching out for a helping hand from the male figure waiting for her at the door, after feeling a little calm Clara walked up and reached for a helping hand from the man, moments before they stepped the man looked at Clara then they walked together towards the dance hall.

The two walked up to a large door that would lead them to a luxurious and magnificent hall, before entering Clara and the male figure beside her stared at each other.

"Dain, are your hands cold? I think you're often in public until you get used to this kind of situation,"

"But it doesn't seem like it?" clara said with a small laugh towards the male figure beside her making the two laugh together to unravel the nervous feeling

The huge door was not long open, all eyes and whispers were directed, all eyes were open, to the two of them who were walking towards the place where the king and queen were sitting to pay their respects for having allowed them to throw a great feast in the royal hall.

Many eyes were staring with envy, hate, resentment, happiness and killing towards the couple. Everyone who came in line to give gifts and congratulations to the couple for getting a fiancee.

Everything went smoothly until it was the turn of the priests and Holy Girls who gave gifts, the gifts given were holy gemstones that could cost hundreds of gold, but the stone suddenly blackened.

"Wire, the holy stone is blackened,"

"Isn't this a sign that this engagement isn't good?"

"And surely it was Fragrante's miss who brought the ugliness, because Dain could receive Holy Water and Holy Power well at that time," the girl said loudly until all the nobles stared at Clara with cold gazes and sharp bad whispers in succession given by the nobles who listened to the words of their very Holy Girl respect because it comes from the Temple of the gods

Clara was silent and bowed, while listening to the silent scorn and a glare so sharply directed at her.

"I didn't expect that his Highness Duke Freiheit was such a crazy person and was so fond of the pools of blood from the people he killed, he said, it turns out that it is not so scary compared to the disaster bearer who makes the gods unhappy with the girl," whispered loudly one of A's nobles behind a hand fan that covered half his face

"How creepy our country can be affected by disasters due to bad engagements that are not approved by the gods,"

All the sharp remarks shown to Clara made Clara indeed unable to do anything and even she felt like running away from that place, because he realized he wasn't the main character of this novel and it would probably be a complete disaster in the novel, but who would have thought that suddenly Clara's hand was held tightly by Dain so that Clara would still believe him.

"It is very disrespectful as a Holy Girl to speak out loud about the unkindness in front of everyone and this very happy engagement,"

"Are you not taught in the temple how to behave with good nobles or how to tell bad luck to someone?" said a girl with a familiar voice while charging at the queue of nobles while gossiping after listening to the words of the Holy Girl

The haughty girl with a cold and authoritative gaze walked towards Clara and Dain carrying a few gift boxes, followed by an exotic female outfit and a male figure dressed in oriental made all the invited guests there surprised by the presence of the three people.

Clara who listened to the remark immediately looked up to the origin of the voice and how surprised she was to see those precious to her coming to her engagement party, she said, because it was also able to make all the nobles who spoke ill instantly speechless when staring at the three people who had come.

"Clara, congratulations on your engagement, this is a gift from me only at Wertvoller" said the girl with a wink towards Clara so that Clara smiled and returned cheerful

"Why is the Holy Girl still standing in this place? Have you not finished talking by making this couple worry?" said the figure of the exotic-clothed girl with a sharp look towards the Holy Girl

The words from the two girls instantly made the Holy Girl's tears flow down like rain falling down.

"I'm just worried about Dain, because we're friends,"

"Why do you corner me for caring about someone?" the Holy Girl said with tears dripping down Dain pulled out a handkerchief, and wiped the tears from the Holy Girl all of a sudden

Everyone in the party room became very surprised by what Dain had just done in front of all the guests was no exception by Clara herself who was beside the figure of the man wiping the water another girl's eyes. The feeling of tightness and a bit of disappointment was felt by Clara by looking at the gentle behavior to the girl other than herself.

"Dain, isn't it enough to give her your handkerchief?" clara asked with a sharp look towards Dain

"Clara, I just wiped it off because I wanted her to smile at our engagement and my job is to look after the Holy Girl, too,"

"I understand that so just do it,"
