The Kingmaker System

The hectic days of office work were growing more and more strenuous but there was one good thing that apart from the war, everything else was still peaceful.

The two Underworld Lords were in their places now and I had gotten the affiliation of both of them. The only one who remained was Lord Hawke or Count Wallace Nash who had sent me an invitation for a meeting as the year end meeting time was getting close.

Unlike the last time there would be a new face appearing so, he might be wondering what to do.

I was at my father’s house relaxing a bit from all the paper work and was shocked to know that I had invitations for tea parties from the ladies. I discarded all of them except for one which seemed a bit out of place.

It was an invitation from Princess Colette, I was tempted to rip it apart but I simply decided to ask my maid to write an apology letter saying that I was sick so, I couldn’t attend.

I didn’t have time to waste on frolicking in stupid kiddy parties.

Or so, I thought but I saw a familiar name on the list of the attendees. Miss Brielle Nash was going to attend the party.

Brielle was the child whom I had run into at the Royal palace after she was verbally abused by the haughty Princess. I couldn’t help but feel as if she would be in trouble if she attended this party. I still recalled the way she was crying and how Colette and her friends were looking down at her.

Poor thing, didn’t even have the luxury of rejecting.

I sighed as I looked at my maid who was giving me an inquistive look.

"Write a reply for this, I’ll be attending it." I said holding up the invitation from Princess Colette.
