Chapter 22
We left the room perplexed by how things turned out.
Even in this unexpected situation... I find this quite an entertaining outcome.
I mean... the direction things took, is just...absurd.
’... The hell just happened??... The Emperor is chill~~’ — I care freely said in my head as we left.
An old nobleman approached us on our way out. He turned out to be a Count that came to speak with the Duke. While still in a dazed state, the Duke managed to introduce us to the man and followed him with a blank face. Leaving us behind.
’Sir... I get you... but you should snap out of it if you don’t want to look like a fool...’ — I tried to tell him, sending this message to the Duke telepathically while he left, staring intensely at the back of his head.
Theressa, seeing this as an opportunity, bumped her arm against me, strong enough to make me lose a little balance. She looked at me with disgust and left acting all offended.
In a way, it was understandable, so I’ll just let it go this time. Next time though, I’ll rip that arm off.
Given my condition, it’s no good being alone. To top it off, I look hot as f*** dressed up like this.
So, as to not let people notice me and approach me, I decided to walk around the place. That way I can buy time.
It would be good if I had one of my family members with me... no, cross that. It would be good if I had the Duke by my side, but the rest of the family... is not trustworthy.
Roaming around, I found a secluded corner to stay in. About an hour passed like this when finally all the Royal family members were once again gathered in the Ball Room.
