Chapter 59: Guest of honor!

Chapter 59: Guest of honor!

It was the celebration day in the Albeck Duchy as the mansion was painted in a golden hue with luxurious radiance shrouding the whole place.

Guests have already arrived at nearly seven in the evening and so did the main guests except for the Duchess who was stuck with some unexpected work.

Being a woman she also requires a decent amount of time to groom for her marriage anniversary. But thankfully, she arrived just in time to greet the royalties.

"You have grown quite a lot in so little time, Charles. How have you been? "

The one whom Valarie hugged lightly as she complimented the blond boy was the first prince of Ranghaur, Charleton Elheim el Bernford.

There was a reason why Valarie despite being a rank below the first prince was behaving such naturally and no one around the hall was surprised by such behavior at all.

The reason was Valarie's blood which was the same as the royal family. She's the aunt of the blushing boy in front and the younger sister of the Emperor.Ñøv€lRapture marked the initial hosting of this chapter on Ñôv€lß¡n.

The reason why Charles was left stunned for more than five seconds was that the mature charm oozing from Valarie was more than something the young man could handle.

Valarie was looking breathtakingly beautiful today in her single-piece dress which emphasized her curves and the hot red color showcased her bold and courageous nature.

Her appearance was charisma made many in the hall dazed regardless of gender.

"I...am fine, thanks for asking, aunt Valarie."

But Charles knew that he was here in his father's stead, leading his family so he forced his thoughts to assemble before he spoke with a brilliant smile.

On a side, Seth stood with a straight face but his attention was getting diverted by a single girl who came straight from the Capital.

The first princess of Ranghaur, Celina Bernford.

One of the only three people who has awakened a 1st Tier skill other than Valarie and the Headmaster of Pristine Academy.

"I am delighted that you brought Celine with you, Maria."

Valarie shared her thoughts with a genuine satisfied smile and talked with the Empress who was just behind Charles. The reason she said so, is because Celine very rarely leaves the palace because of her special traits.

"Well, surprisingly it was Celina who asked me a month ago that she wants to attend this ceremony."

Seth might be overthinking but he doesn't want to be ignorant and regret it afterward. It couldn't be a mere coincidence or could it be...

"You seem unwell."

"!!!"

A shrill and bone-freezing voice reverberated clearly in his ears as Seth instantly turned to his left to see the person who approached without him noticing.

The first thing he saw was a pair of crystal blue eyes looking at him adorned on an unblemished charming face.

"Your highness? Thanks for asking but I am fine. Do you want me to show you-"

Seth was about to ask whether she needed to use the washroom since coming out of the main hall meant only a single thing or so he hoped.

But her interjection made it clear that this woman was indeed up to no good.

"You are not from this world, right?"

Seth pulled up his guard upon hearing such a word but he didn't let it become obvious that he was affected by words. That would be disastrous.

Rather he corrected his posture and let the lady continue.

"23 days ago it transpired. It was you for whom I came today."

Seth didn't let show it but he was actually in quiet distress about this unexpected development which he never planned.

Sure her skill let her pry in those places where humanly no being could reach but to sense the transfer of soul?

'As I thought I have to eliminate this girl.... '
