Kapitel 65: Welcoming Dinner

*Knock* *Knock*

Saavi answered the door as Mikaela was in the backyard practicing her swordsmanship with Kaze.

"Hello, steward Durlan how may I help you?" Opening the door Saavi found steward Durlan waiting outside.

"Saavi, Lord Tasar would like the invite Miss Mikaela for a welcoming dinner tonight with the whole clan. May you ask Miss Mikaela if she can join us?"

"No need, the young miss will be happy to go, what time is dinner?"

"At around 6 this evening shall I escort her there?"

"I think that would be best young miss still doesn't know her way around the estate yet."

"Okay, I will come by a little earlier to escort her to dinner."

Thanking Saavi Durlan left Mika's residence in a chipper mood.

He quite like Miss Mikaela, she stays to herself doesn't cause any problems also her reasons for being here makes his heart ache a bit.

Walking towards the kitchens, Durlan happens to come across Lixiss walking towards Mika's residence.

"Young miss." Durlan bowed in greeting.

"Durlan, it seems you came from Miss Mikaela's house. Why did you go there?"

Since Mika's arrival at the Udava clan Lixiss has made it her point to inquire any information she can about Mika.

"It's nothing much Lord Tasar wants to have a proper welcoming dinner for Miss Mikaela, the whole clan is invited."

"Why is Father doing so much she is just an outside-wait you said father has invited the whole clan. Is this true?" Excitement penetrated Lixiss eyes lighting them up as if stars were inside.

"Yes, it's been a long time since there has been anything worth celebrating. Lord Tasar thought this would be a good time to give some enjoyment to the clan. Now if you will excuse me I need to notify the kitchens."

Taking his leave Durlan didn't notice the jubilation on Lixiss' face.

"Kasra, do you think he will come? If father invites him than he must come right?" Not waiting for an answer Lixiss changed directions, rushing off towards her residence.

Lord Tasar sat at his desk looking at the bone horntail bugs his hunters were able to collect over the past week. Along with the containers of Levofine, a potent painkiller that will ease the pain of the procedure.

Lord Tasar shook his head the coming days of Mika's life were going to be hard, maybe even fatal. Tasar didn't want to send his friend's daughter back to him in freezer coffin, he was praying for a healthy recovery.

Putting away the tools needed for Mika's procedure, his steward comes walking in.

"Lord Tasar, everything is set and Miss Mikaela will be joining the welcoming dinner." Tasar sighed despite the happy occasion.

"Lord Tasar is something wrong?"

"I wish her to have at least one happy moment while being here before starting her treatment."

Durlan nodded he too knew about the poison running thru Miss Mikaela's body. It is sad to see one so young go through such hardships.

"Sir, I will personally make sure everything runs soothing for tonight's dinner."

"Yes, please do." Taking his leave Durlan rushed out to see to his promise.

The family hall was filled with tables full of food. The whole Udava clan, distant and immediate family members sat at the tables talking and eating heartily.

Lixiss watched the doors as members kept filing in but still she didn't see the person she was looking for. Frustration eating away at her patience Lixiss stood up to leave just when steward Durlan bought Mikaela through the doors.

Dressed in a simple but elegant gown Mika looked graceful and charming, the mask covering her face did nothing to hide her beauty.

Mikaela curtseyed to Lord Tasar before taking her place by his side as his honorary guest.

Mikaela sat conversing with Lord Tasar not realizing the continuous peeks being sent her way from the young and old clan members in the hall.

When one the of Lord Tasar's brothers walked up to ask about Mika, Lord Tasar stood up and made an introduction to the whole clan.

"Everyone I would like to introduce to you, Miss Mikaela Amara. She will be staying with us for an extended period of time. I hope the Udava clan will treat her as if she is my own daughter." Mikaela got up and curtseyed to the members in the hall.

Hearing Lord Tasar's words the clan members could see she was someone important to Lord Tasar.

Liking her endearing aura, the members naturally warmed up to the idea of having her around. Many came up the toast and greet Mika surrounding her in a sea of laughter.

When Lixiss heard her father's words, she couldn't believe he would consider an outsider as his daughter.

Kapitel 66: Pawn

Lixiss watched on as Mika became the life of the party. No one bothered to look her way all anyone cared about was Mika.

*Screech*

Lixiss abruptly push out her chair, the sound causing the hall to go silent. Now the center of everyone's stares, Lixiss froze under their weight. When trying to think of a good way to get herself out of this situation a young male walks in through the doors.

"Hello, I hope I'm not late." This voice was like Lixiss' saving grace as everyone's eyes turned towards the latecomer.

"Young master Jaonos you are indeed late but there is still food, come sit."

Lord Tasar invited the young male to sit at the last remaining available seat at his table. Hearing the mention of food the members who originally surrounded Mika went back to their seats to eat.

Lixiss' eyes stayed trained on Jaonos from the time of his arrival. Subconsciously Lixiss also retook her seat, changing her whole demeanor into a poised and refined young lady. Chatting and laughing with the people around her, she tried to catch Jaonos' focus.

Regrettably, the seat Joanos happened to take was right next to Mika. His attention had been captured by this new young miss from the time he sat down. Aggravated by Joanos' and Mika's close proximity to one another Lixiss couldn't help recalling Mika's arrival here.

____

Coming back from her mother's house Lixiss saw her eldest brother, knowing Elmer went with their father on his business trip Lixiss was delight by their return.

Before she could welcome him home Joanos reach him first. Seeing Joanos Lixiss forgot about her brother and followed Joanos instead.

Elmer bought up his travels as Joanos commented here and there. Lixiss waited for the perfect chance to intervene, as she was going to let her presence be known she heard Joanos' words.

"Elmer, who is that beautiful young miss you and your father bought with you?"

"Haha...you'll know soon enough."

Lixiss didn't know who is 'young miss' was and she didn't care. The only thing she cared about was that young master Joanos called her beautiful.

For years she had been trying to get his affection, but he never gave her a single glance. Now a 'young miss' from nowhere has stolen what was supposed to be hers.

"Haha..."

The sound of laughter broke Lixiss out of her daydreaming. Looking across the table Lixiss saw Mika and Joanos leaning towards one another, they were talking in low voices both sporting a bright smile on their face.

"What could they possibly be talking about? They have nothing in common." Lixiss thought as her stare was drilling a hole into both their heads.

Mika felt Lixiss' displeasure a long time ago, but since Lixiss hasn't done anything to her there was no need to waste her energy. Although now it seems Lixiss was reaching her breaking point.

As the dinner carried on Joanos stuck to Mika's side explaining things she didn't understand or telling her what food to taste.

In the beginning, Mika felt the dinner was going to be tiresome, Joanos' company changed her mind. Thoroughly enjoying herself, Mika no longer concerned herself with Lixiss' behavior.

Seeing Mika laughing once again at Joanos' jokes Lixiss couldn't take it any longer.

"Will you just shut up! You shouldn't even be here, get out!"

Lixiss abruptly stood from her seat shouting and pointing her finger at Mika.

One could hear a needle drop in the silent hall, Lord Tasar sat in his seat not even recognizing his daughter.

Clearing the clog in his throat, Lord Tasar dissolved the silence in the room, "Lixiss, what is going on?"

Panting and with a flush face, Lixiss didn't realize she had actually taken action until her father's voice bought her back to reality.

Scanning the room she saw everyone's confusion, taking glancing at Joanos she saw indifference on his face.

Does he not even wondering what was wrong with her? Lixiss couldn't take that look of his and turns away quickly.

Mika also saw this reaction from Joanos, even she was startled and looked at Lixiss in confusion. And Joanos who's a member of the Udava clan doesn't even blink an eye at Lixiss' outburst.

"There is something more going on between these two." Mika thought.

"Lixiss, you have been under too much stress lately, you should retire for the night." Concern his daughter complexion didn't look good, Lord Tasar made an excuse for her to leave.

"Father, I'm fine. I just-" Lixiss didn't want to leave, this would probably be the only time she'll get to be this close to Joanos.

"No. You are tired. Retire for the night." Calling for Kasra Lord Tasar order for her to take Lixiss back to her house.

"Take your mistress back to the room, and see to her health." Karsa could see Lord Tasar was upset, she shouldn't defy his orders.

Gently holding Lixiss' arms, Karsa guided Lixiss away from the hall and towards her residence.

Although Lixiss was gone the awkward vibe stayed in the hall. The once bubbly ambiance turned sour. Lord Tasar worried about his daughter, was in no mood to save the dinner. The dinner ended soon after Lixiss departure.

When Mika entered her house, Saavi was still waiting.

"How was the dinner?" Saavi stretched the sleepiness from her body before helping Mika get ready for bed.

"I think I was just used as someone's pawn."
