章 17: Jealous fiancée and my angry sister?

Instead, the Duke Sonne family, with its two main members, had completely passed: Duke Sonne, his wife, and his daughter.

Eleanor, who was walking behind them, watched the entire mansion with hidden curiosity. But her attention was completely diverted by a tall, indifferent man who stood more outside than inside the crowd.

His handsomeness was not only outstanding but also beautiful and perfect. She could not help but be mesmerized for several seconds just looking at his figure and face. But she paid more attention…

She hugged the man, hiding her head in his chest, a beautiful woman, as beautiful as she was, but without her temperament or elegance. The man did not even try to push her away but showed a beautiful smile with an indifferent face as he stroked the girl's hair with his hand.

Eleanor felt as if she had eaten bitter coffee. 'After getting interested in a guy, I notice this guy? Turns out he has a partner, bah' she thought, frowning and ignoring the loving couple.

'But for some reason… He looks familiar.'

After Duke Sonne had passed through and settled into the mansion, being received by Count Rasforh and his servants with total humility and respect, other figures came out, but in this case only one.

"Good evening, guests," she greeted with her melodious voice that made all of the nobles fall silent and stand still.

With every step the woman took, her bluish hair swayed from side to side. Her beautiful gray eyes scanned the entire mansion with curiosity and confidence. Her elegance could not be described as simple; Eleanor herself could be a thousand times inferior to her.

'Phew, why are all the girls in this novel beautiful?' wondered Theos, feeling even more uncomfortable as he remembered all the characters yet to be introduced. 'Well, she's the actual sister of the current king, so it's only natural that she's beautiful' Theos sighed.

"Ahem," the woman cleared her throat, raising her voice and pitching with the mana so that everyone could hear her. "Unfortunately, I have to report that Duchess Arlott will not be able to attend today due to personal matters, something similar is happening with Duke Whitelock," she paused slightly and continued.

"But unlike the Duchess, Duke Whitelock will be sending his avatar accompanied by his son," she confirmed this fact and the whispering continued.

'Duchess Arlott and her daughter will not come as in the novel…' Theos reminded the young woman, an incredibly seductive beauty who looked more like a succubus. 'It would have been interesting to see her here' he added.

"The Blood Queen… Duchess Arlott will not be coming today, that would be disrespectful."

"It is said that she can draw the blood of thousands of people, even if it is against her will…. But to miss like that is just disrespectful."

"What can we expect from a family that doesn't have a shred of human blood?"

"The thirsty vampire."

The guests raised countless arguments, talking like poison. As usual, Count Rasforh walked over to his wife's side after tending to Duke Sonne, this time not avoiding a word.

"Rest assured, a great surprise is being prepared for you today…" Said the Count, exciting all the nobles.

He took Alice's hand, and after walking a little away from the stage, she easily followed him. He went up the stairs to the young men's room next to her and looked at the whole stage with a full view, so he could enjoy it more.

"Much better," he sighed, but immediately a notification panel appeared in front of him.

[The host has provoked the jealousy and anger of one of the main heroines, Eleanor Sonne. The host has been rewarded with 6000 negative energy] the system said.

'Wow, I didn't expect that… It turns out that jealousy can score thousands of points' Theos concluded with satisfaction, feeling his power grow, this time in a big way.

"Hello," said a black figure that appeared next to Theos, an unremarkable and emotionless figure on her face. "Hello, Luna, have you recovered yet?" asked Theos, feeling a bit worried and guilty; after all, she was his former student and companion.

"Hmph," she snorted, standing there and just watching the Duke's entrance without answering Theos' question. Maybe because she thought it was sarcasm.

His eyes rolled as he watched her react to his sincere concern, but he decided to shrug it off anyway as he watched the banquet.

He continued to watch the feast. He had already felt Eleanor's gaze on him, but it didn't bother him in the least.

But to his amusement, he turned his head in her direction and saw the young blonde staring at him.

The two stood like that for a while, staring at each other, staring at each other, until Eleanor looked away, blushing.

'Tsk, heroines, they play innocent, but in truth, they're crazy killing machines,' Theos thought, looking away to watch with interest the possible last appearance of the Duke, one of the original protagonist's rivals.

The figure took steps, but mysteriously there were no more shadows, only one…. That of a woman with pure white hair as beautiful as snow and eyes as blue as the sky. Her figure was perfect, like that of an angel, without being too seductive, but with an angelic charm.

Instead, her gaze showed annoyance and anger, as well as some sadness.

"The young lady, Miss Fallen…. Nora Von Fallen!

"She is the adopted daughter of the Fallen family, the strongest …. Today she is here to represent her family."

"Yes, despite her young age, her skills are on another level, and it is said that she will be an intermediate mage in no time…. A total genius!".

"And she has an exclusive path…. The Angel Path."

All attention was focused on the young girl as she walked to be attended to by Count Rasforh and his servants.

'Sister?' Theos blinked in surprise but quickly regained his composure.

The next person to leave was his sister, who didn't appear in the novel; she didn't even represent the Fallen family… But apparently, his words had hit him hard.

A smile tugged at the corners of his lips. "Interesting."
