Three days before the wedding day, Ciel and the entourage finally arrived at the Imperial Palace.
Ciel looked so mentally tired. From Black Lily Castle to the Imperial Palace, Ciel spent nearly a month with Zack. Living with an ignorant figure who could not be advised, the young man felt tremendous pressure.
If not my friend .. I would have cut it thinly and then made it a snack for Deschia!
Looking at Zack who was pacing around and still seemed excited, Ciel complained inwardly. The young man then observed the part of the Northern Palace that would serve as the venue for the feast. Since this was the first wedding party of Queen Lilith's son, everything seemed grand and luxurious. The decor is also festive, but not glamorous or overdone.
If only the money for this party were changed as material for raising an army .. maybe I could raise 1500 people in the shadow division.
Seeing the money being wasted, Ciel felt a pain in his heart. He secretly decided to find a business partner in this party. He wanted to buy cheap medicinal ingredients and sell somewhat expensive potions. Seeking profit!
“By the way .. have you prepared a wedding gift, Rivalku?”
Zack's question made Ciel aware. He nodded lightly in response, making his friend curious.
“What is it? Can I see it?” ask Zack curiously.
“Only small gifts.” Ciel shook his head lightly.
“What is it? A sword? Magic book? Or what?” ask Zack.
“Reclaration.”
Ciel said in an indifferent tone. Even though he was lazy and did not like to follow events like this, Ciel still had a heart. The young man had prepared the gift long ago after he had returned from the Imperial Palace. Only, he did it secretly.
“Cih! Let's bet whose prize is better, Rivalku!”
“Then I give up. My gift is too simple and definitely less attractive than your gift.”
“Why? You buy cheap stuff? Even if it's your brother?” ask Zack curiously.
“That's my problem.”
Ciel ignored Zack and chose to go to the Northern Palace. He wanted to greet the family before taking a break and waiting for the wedding.
Without feeling it, three days passed.
Two silhouettes seemed to walk together towards the location of the party. One was a handsome young man with black hair, pale skin, and two irises of different colors. He wore a black noble suit with ornaments as well as gold-colored ornaments mined some purple amethys stones as a complement.
Beside her, there was a beautiful blonde girl with green irises and a doll-like appearance. She wears a black dress with ornaments as well as gold-colored embellishments, such as her partner. What is different, small amethys stones are replaced with beautiful emerald stones that are the same color as the iris of the eye.
Right ... Both are Ciel and Ariana.
Despite the festive atmosphere, magnificent reservations, and full of delicious food. To be more precise, he felt lazy to attend an event like this.
“See! Isn't that Prince Luciel?”
“I heard it turns out to hide its power.”
“Devil level 5 at such a young age? Royal blood is really terrible ..”
“I want to know, at what level is level 5. The beginning? Medium? End?”
“Who cares about that. Already able to rise to become a high level demon at that age is already very extraordinary.”
“Beautiful girl next to him it .. could it be Prince Luciel's fiancee?”
“...”
“...”
Hearing the whispers from most guests, Ciel furrowed his brows. He was really dissatisfied.
Shit Look at that .. greedy people. Look at their eyes! It's disgusting!
Ciel cursed in his heart. At the time when the nobles who used to ignore him now saw him like a beggar who found gold coins on the street, the young man could not help his disgust.
“Let's find a relatively quiet seat. I don't like crowds like this.”
“Good, Dear.”
Although her mother had advised her to be more friendly and make more friends, Ciel clearly did the opposite. The aura around him was clearly yelling ‘don't try to approach me or I will kill you’ to everyone who tries to get close. As a result, those nobles really did not dare to approach him.
Ciel and Ariana sat in a rather remote corner, yes. There were a lot of delicious food on their front desk, but neither of them touched it at all. Ciel himself, rather than come and meet everyone as ‘adik’, he even acted like a guest.
“Can't the show time be advanced? I really want to get out of here soon,” muttered Ciel.
“We've come very close to the time, dear. Please be patient, there are still twenty minutes.”
“Sucks,” murmurs Ciel.
At that moment, a voice sounded from the distance. There is a laughing Zack surrounded by the young nobles of North Duchy with a sycophant smile. That silly young man just assented everything. No matter being taken advantage of, he was positive and kind to everyone.
Aren't we all demons? How there is such a good demon …
Ciel let out a long breath in his heart. At that moment, Zack suddenly saw himself and Ariana who had deliberately chosen an inconspicuous place. Even so, their clothes as well as their faces could not be hidden. The two were still clearly compared to the people around him.
Getting rid of the people around him, Zack immediately walked quickly to where Ciel and Ariana were sitting. Up in front of the two, he raised his right hand while grinning.
“Yo! When did you arrive, Rivalku? I was waiting for you earlier.” Zack smiled gently.
“Latest” reply Ciel briefly. Meanwhile, Ariana who was sitting next to him nodded lightly as a greeting.
“Have you really brought the card? Don't give anything embarrassing. Some gifts will be opened in public.” Zack gave advice.
“I don't care.” Ciel shook his head lightly.
“Cih! I just don't want to see you humiliated.”
“I know.” Ciel replied briefly.
Ciel looked around. As before, the first Queen and the 2nd Queen did not come. Same with the royals in West Duchy and East Duchy. They're not all coming. The guests of this feast were the nobles of the North Duchy who supported Queen Lilith as well as the neutral nobles of the Central Plain and South Duchy.
Unlike in his previous life, the nobles would be present even though at the different Prince's party, in this world it was more resolute and clear. No need to be hypocritical, not supportive means absent.
At that moment, Ciel saw the figure of his mother who was talking to Queen Elizabeth. Behind Ariana's mother, three people followed. Yet the figure of the King of the Black Star Kingdom was clearly invisible.
Among the three people who followed Queen Elizabeth, there were two women and one man. The man looked handsome with blond hair, emerald irises, as well as a gentle smile on his face. That smile was the kind of smile that Ciel hated. Smiles of hypocrites.
For some reason, the first time I saw this Prince .. I immediately hated him.
